Excellent purchase
This review is from: MacBook
Pros: Lovely, crisp 13" display; makes watching movies and television shows comfortable on the eyes. Sleek, light-weight design with no bulky ports or jacks thrown all about the outside bottom case; neatly placed on the left side. The Intel 2.16ghz Core2Duo processor with 2GB RAM makes multitasking a breeze, leaving lagging system issues a thing of the past. MagSafe magnetic power adapter is a very handy feature as well. No more damage from accidentally yanking the power adapter out the side. Very clear built in audio in/out, along with clear and stunning iSight camera.
Cons: Smudge marks can appear quite easily on the case, especially on the screen and top case where your palms rest. Trackpad does the same thing; over long period of use, "glossy" area appears on trackpad and has different "oily feel" than origionally. Easy ignored tho.
Other Thoughts: Very first Apple notebook owned, wouldn't dare think about turning back to PC laptops. Extremely easy to understand the ropes, user friendly, and also adds that FreeBSD feeling for Unix veterans.

Wait to buy
This review is from: MacBook
Pros: Good laptop
Cons: The newer processors are coming out from Intel, which means less heat, more battery life, and better overall performance. If you're looking to get a new laptop from apple, I would wait until the newer 45 nm processors are out.
Other Thoughts: Happy laptoping!!!!

This review is from: MacBook
Pros: My friend has this notebook, and lets me use it when I'm over..
Cons: Not a power-notebook. Will start lagging once you open up big photoshop files while multitasking other things..
Other Thoughts: Don't expect to do any heavy work on a 13" macbook..

Everything you need... right out of the box!
This review is from: MacBook
Pros: Beautiful, sexy machine. The glossy display is crisp and clear. Mac OS performs better than any OS out there, it's low overhead on your resources mean quicker responding applications with huge gains on performance as compared to Windows. I bought this to be more portable and found it performs just as nicely as my Intel iMac @ 2.0GHz. I run CS3, and Final Cut Pro and I can run them both at the same time with no lag, with 2GB RAM.
Cons: This machine shows fingerprints, if you can call that a con.
Other Thoughts: OSX.5 Leopard will be out sometime this month at a cost of $xxx if you choose not to wait.

Should've have "switched" sooner
This review is from: MacBook
Pros: Really wow, I work for a pc store as a tech, first Apple and I love it. OSX is great, trust me would have never thought I'd love it this much. First things first, props to JD for making me realize how great these are. Booting and returning from sleep mode windows users get ready for crazy speed. Great battery life, amazing wireless built in(I get better range and speed than any other laptops I've used or repaired(thats a lot). All kinds of nifty things built in and with 1Gb of ram its amazingly fast no matter how many programs I play with. Slot loading dvd is great. For a laptop they don't get any better than this(not a gaming machine but its an inch thick people!) So far there aren't any programs I can't use or need. Oh and unlike windows the amount of RAM you have free does not directly correlate to your performance. Its always fast. The LCD and shortcut keys are a blast! The whole operating system and laptop is great. Forget about bootcamp and XP or VISTA.
Cons: The only real qualm I have with it so far is the speakers aren't that loud. For laptop speakers they are clear and do decent volume but aren't as loud as some I've heard...then again I shouldn't keep trying to listen from other rooms. Oh and why do they ship and entirely black computer with a white charger and cable.....I thought it would bother me more than it does(really doesnt matter)
Other Thoughts: I don't know what people are saying about hot, like I said I'm a technician and my enclosure bottom hits 92F to 94F full load with the battery hot and charging, which is less than the human body temp, and the chip is well within spec for a mobile core2duo.

Great Productivity Laptop
This review is from: MacBook
Pros: The Macbook is an excellent productivity laptop. It just works, like the commercials claim. OS 10 is easy to use. The programs open and work seamlessly. I recommend getting the 2 GB of RAM especially if you are going to do heavy duty multitasking using Adobe CS3 and all of it's huge programs. Get the extra RAM from a third party. Apple charges waaaay too much for RAM. The display is clean. The keyboard and tracker pad works great. All of the iLife programs (photo, tunes, web, garage band, photo booth) work great as well. This is a great laptop with an excellent reliability over the last year since the Intel chips debuted. Well worth the money to get away from beta testing another Microsoft operating system!
Cons: Notice I said "productivity" in my title. This laptop is a very good machine for productivity. It, however, is not a gaming machine. If you want to play games on a Mac laptop you have to pony up the extra bucks and get a Macbook Pro. This is why I gave it 4 eggs instead of 5.
Other Thoughts: Good overall laptop. I think this would be an excellent machine for the average person. It is a good investment for the money.

MacBook Black = Teh Pwn
This review is from: MacBook
Pros: Where to start... This is an excellent laptop. Battery lasts about 4-5 hours. OS X is simply amazing; organized, easy and beautiful interface, great feel for they keyboard, trackpad and its scrolling methods (2 fingers = scroll up/down). What else... Wireless N Airport. Easy volume buttons. All software "just works." Powerful processor. 1GB is enough. Desktop is customizable. Slot-loading DVD-RW drive is nice. The "Front Row" remote is a cool feature. Built-in iSight for video chatting. Finder is pretty cool, much more useful than a stupid "search" in xp. Oh, and there is bootcamp if you want to use XP or vista (i installed windows for about 10 min and then immediately deleted it). Bootcamp is great; you can repartition the drive to fit windows or delete windows and assign the space back to OS X with literally the click of a button. The CPU is pretty quick; Super Pi-ed 1M in about 30 seconds. 1GB RAM is great. I'm sure i mentioned that all the software is amazing.
Cons: I read reviews on Apple's site about the power adapter, and EVERY SINGLE REVIEW gave it one star. They said something about the wire fraying on either end of the MagSafe side. My suggestion: tape up the ends and keep them STRAIGHT. Do NOT use the prongs to wrap up the cord. I only pray that this practice will spare me from having to buy an $80 adapter. The graphics sucks but i didn't mind as i'm using this for productivity and not gaming. Temps idle around 45-50C and load above 65; i use "Fan Control" to monitor temps and adjust fan speed. Sound/speakers kinda suck. Fingerprints look BAD, so keep it clean! Only 2 USB ports. You have to buy an adapter to get VGA/DVI-out.
Other Thoughts: Overall, i give this lappy 5 eggs. The design of both the hardware and software are excellent. Bootcamp worked great; you put in a blank CD and it writes windows drivers so that you can put it in after you install windows and get the drivers without any online searching. It gets windows working right out of the box just like how it comes with OS X. I deleted windows after about 10 mins of use because i realized i don't need it. OS X does everything that i want, save for gaming. I haven't touched my PC since except to play games; games are the only software i've run on my PC for a while. The pros make this laptop an excellent choice, and the cons are rather negligible (save for the power adapter problem). This laptop is excellent for anybody at all, as long as they are not interested in gaming.

Dunkin' Discord by BeavernatorWatch
©2013-2016 Beavernator
Baby Discord falls into chocolate milk, and then 7foot tall discord appears!
can i eat him now?
Aww, I wanted to drink that chocolate milk!
You gotta stop drawing males as females, just remove 1 eyelash, It will look perfect.
Can I use this in a video I'm making? I'll give you full credit in the description!
Sure thing.
So creepy..
AWW i never thought somepony would do a foal version of dissy ^-^
2 things too small eyes and eyelashes he has eye lashes! but anyway i like it!
im in heven
America runs on Discord!
( I couldn't help but notice the title. )
( I couldn't help but notice the title. )
That is just too adorable!
XD D'AWWWWW! BTW Why does he look like a girl? x3
Here's a question for you, did he dive into the chocolate milk or the glass?
How freaking cute is this!
EQUESTRIA RUNS ON Dunkin
Now that's precious ^^
I think Discord can switch between young and adult with the snap of his finger.
here discord seems to havve one extra "part" to his eye, that makes him look creepy.
Silly Discord, you're supposed to drink the chocolate milk, not bathe in it.
lol I'm thristy right now, but would'nt drink that. hehe Good job!
Why does Discord have 2 lashes like girls do?
Why does he have eyelashes?
those eyes... are staring into my soul...
yeh aha ¬¬
Awesome! ;u; I have a dragonquanisus oc.. If you ever want to make this a base but still a dragonquanisus base for me to use that would be awesome! ;U; but if you don't want to I'm fine <3
Why does he have female lashes?
I'm glad you've taken note of the fact that Discord's hair is BLACK and not WHITE like everyone else thinks.
You mean the other variant of baby Discord with the white tuft of hair up top and no horns? It's not entirely show accurate but it seems to do the trick.
There are several I've seen like that but none really seem to notice that his head hair is actually that black Trojan-horse-styled manecut. When they make female versions or human versions or any version that would have the hair going down like this is, they make it white instead which is odd...
The odd thing about Discord's mane is that it never touches his head; just his neck. While the white hair thing isn't canon; it works since it syncs nicely with his skin tone. That, at least I think so. For all we know Discord was bald, and Draconeqii had white hair between their horns all along.
yeah, it is more on his neck. Actually a lot of horses have the hair more on their neck than their head so his head is a lot more horse like because of that.

I posted a thread a few weeks back about Rylie's weight loss. It got to the point that I didn't even want to look at her, I was doing EVERYTHING in my power to put weight on her(vet,dentist,lots of turnout/ hay) and nothing seemed to be working. I think it bothered me the most because my gelding looks like he is pregnant with twins. I want to thank everyone that took the time to give me their two-cents about weight gain because it really helped, I changed her diet around and it is almost like day and night. I'm a little worried about posting these pictures because she looks like a skeleton,which makes me look like a horrible owner, which I don't think I am at all. Anyway here they are

Rising: Blondes
By Ryan Dombal on March 26, 2010 at 3:35 p.m. EDT
Blondes are two jam-prone Brooklyn dudes who met at Ohio's Oberlin College and bonded over their love of musical improvisation and DFA. Both in their mid-20s, Zach Steinman and Sam Haar make spaced-out dance music that has roots in Giorgio Moroder synth workouts and Boards of Canada wispiness. Their songs are blissfully patient and tend to unfurl effortlessly, as if they have all the time in the world.
After receiving attention from blogs and gigging around Brooklyn, Blondes have two releases in the pipeline: A five-song EP on Merok called Touched featuring MySpace tracks "Moondance" and "Spanish Fly" along with three unreleased tunes, and a 12" single with RVNG Intl. dubbed "Lover Hater". A soccer game was blaring from the TV when I recently met the guys at a bar in Greenpoint, where we talked about what it means to be a jam band, keytars, and TiĂŤsto:
Rising: Infinite Body
By Tom Breihan on March 15, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
A few years ago, Kyle Parker made unforgivingly harsh noise music and called himself Gator Surprise. These days, he makes yearning, thoughtful drone music and calls himself Infinite Body.
Carve Out the Face of My God, Infinite Body's new album, is out on No Age drummer Dean Spunt's Post Present Medium label. Its slow washes of mostly implied melody take a few listens to sink in, but when they do, they can evoke the melodic dreamscapes of Fennesz or even M83.
Parker works at a movie theater and speaks very, very slowly. He had to speak with us on the phone from his parents' house because he doesn't have a working phone or internet at the moment. Our interview is below.
Rising: Kingdom
By Tom Breihan on March 10, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. EST
The 27-year-old Brooklyn-based dance producer Ezra Rubin, known to the world as Kingdom, does not do subtle. On his "Mind Reader" EP, gigantic, crashing basslines share space with diva howls and chest-imploding snares. His is a melodically generous dance music sound, one that prizes immediate hooks and dizzy adrenaline over patience or open space. Kingdom claims recent-vintage commercial R&B and UK garage as prime influences, and those genres' slickness, combined with the pounding immediacy of classic house music, are what make the EP go. And it was co-released by two of indiedom's cooler labels, Fool's Gold and Acephale.
We recently caught up with Kingdom to see what's good with him.
Rising: Cults
By Tom Breihan on March 8, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. EST
Photo by Eric Chakeen
A few weeks ago, a group called Cults posted a few songs to their Bandcamp site. Last week, the track "Go Outside" made the blog rounds, scoring a Best New Music from us on Friday. But nobody seemed to know anything about the people behind Cults. They had a tough-to-Google name and no MySpace page, and there was no information about them online. All we had to go on were their three songs, frothy and bittersweet pieces of perfectly designed lo-fi pop.
We reached out to Cults to figure out who, exactly, they are. Here is what we discovered: the two members of Cults, Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin, are a couple. They're both 21, both from San Diego, both now studying film in New York. And they only started making music together a few months ago, posting their songs online just so that their friends could hear.
We talked to Oblivion and Follin about their great single and their sudden, surprising rise:
Rising: Pure Ecstasy
By Ryan Dombal on March 5, 2010 at 2:25 p.m. EST
Led by singer-songwriter Nate Grace, Austin's Pure Ecstasy make lo-fi tunes insulated by plenty of reverb. Their music is simple, warm, direct. In a track review of their best song to date, the woozy "Easy", Pitchfork's Joe Colly said it sounds like "the long comedown after an all-night beach party."
After releasing a few limited singles last year, Grace-- along with band mates Jesse Jenkins and Austin Youngblood-- are prepping a brand new 7" for the white hot Acephale label (SALEM, Memory Tapes, Air France), which is called "Voices" and is due March 23.
In a recent phone interview, we spoke with Grace, who came off about as lackadaisical as his free-flowing songs. The 27-year-old grew up in Texas and Pennsylvania before studying English at the University of Texas in Austin. At the time of our interview, he was working data entry for a travel services company. "I want to quit and write an album," he said. In the following conversation, we talked about Green Day, Real Estate, and how to be up-front without being lame:
Rising: Gonjasufi
By Ryan Dombal on February 25, 2010 at 5:05 p.m. EST
Gonjasufi is the latest musical incarnation of Sumach Ecks, a rapper-singer-yoga teacher currently living in Las Vegas. Though he's been making hip-hop records since the early 90s and has released music with the San Diego-based Masters of the Universe crew, it's his recent singles as Gonjasufi-- from his forthcoming Warp debut LP A Sufi and a Killer (out March 9)-- that are gaining him more notice than ever before. The album features worn-in, Dilla-descended production from L.A.'s the Gaslamp Killer, Mainframe, and Flying Lotus (Gonjasufi was featured on "Testament" off FlyLo's Los Angeles), but the unequivocal star is Ecks's voice-- a scraggly, scary, smoked-out croak that creeps like the spiritual offspring of George Clinton and Leadbelly. In a recent interview, we spoke with Ecks about his unforgettable pipes, racism, and throwing rocks at cars:
Rising: Primary 1
By Tom Breihan on February 24, 2010 at 3:05 p.m. EST
Primary 1 is Joe Flory, a British synthpop producer who has been remixed by Memory Tapes and Joker, released a single on Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound label, collaborated with the Cardigans' Nina Persson and Phoenix/Rapture producer Philippe Zdar, and is touring with Brit starlet Ellie Goulding. Unlike most up-and-coming underground electronic producers, Flory has an honest-to-god major label deal. He's currently working on his debut album for Atlantic Records.
Right now you can hear slices of Primary 1's pop side, including the collaboration with Persson, as well as work with producer Riton (Gucci Soundsystem, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik), on the Primary 1 MySpace. Or, to hear a very different side of Flory's music, download Mess Detective, a free online collection of homemade tracks
Flory recently talked to Pitchfork about Arthur Russell, cassette art, and the challenges of existing in the major label universe.
Rising: Active Child
By Tom Breihan on February 18, 2010 at 4:30 p.m. EST
Photo by Brent Mullins
Active Child is Pat Grossi, an L.A.-based songwriter who layers his keening, unearthly voice over diffuse waves of keyboards. As a child, Grossi sang with the Philadelphia Boys Choir, and that pedigree is all over haunting tracks like "Wilderness", where Grossi's high tenor pushes his woozy music even further into the stratosphere. Earlier this year, Grossi released the cassette-only Sun Rooms on Mirror Universe. Some of the tracks from Sun Rooms will end up on Curtis Lane, the EP he'll release this May. Grossi recently took some time to talk with Pitchfork about cassettes, choral music, and Eazy-E. Our interview is below.
Rising: G-Side
By Tom Breihan on February 10, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. EST
G-Side, the rap duo of Yung Clova and ST 2 Lettaz, come from Huntsville, Alabama, a mid-sized city that has produced more than its share of great and buzzed-about rappers lately, including Paper Route Gangstaz, Jackie Chain, 6 Tre G, and Kristmas. The Block Beataz production crew has given the city's rap scene its own sound: a woozy, synth-based, bottom-heavy crawl that treats big-room trance the way OutKast and UGK records used to treat 70s soul. G-Side might be the perfect complement to Block Beataz' glimmering funk. Both ST and Clova are warm, conversational rappers who talk about drug-dealing histories and future ambitions with grace and perspective.
Together with Block Beataz, Clove and ST make supremely satisfying album-length statements like the 2008 LP Starshipz & Rocketz and the recent Huntsville International. The latter is more a free internet album album than a mixtape; both members simply call it a "project". It's loosely built around a theme of travel, of the duo's joy in seeing their music make its way around the world. Between songs, various European DJs and bloggers show up to say nice things about the duo. But Clova and ST have never been to Europe; they'll embark on their first European tour this spring. Later this year, they hope to release another album, The One, on the local label Slow Motion Soundz.
Recently, Pitchfork caught up with ST and Clova.
Rising: Dum Dum Girls
By Ryan Dombal on January 20, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EST
Photo by Lauren Dukoff
In 2008, Dum Dum Girls started out as the one-woman garage-pop project of a California girl who goes by Dee Dee (real name: Kristin Gundred, pictured at left). Speaking about the humble origins of her MySpace page, Dee Dee says, "I just thought Dum Dum Girls was a cool name and I wanted to reserve it."
Since then, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter has recorded and released a batch of punk-smeared girl-group tunes for tiny indies Captured Tracks, Zoo Music, and Hozac, before getting signed by big indie Sub Pop last summer. She also put together a full band to bring her creation to the stage that includes drummer Frankie Rose, who used to play with Crystal Stilts and Vivian Girls. The quartet are set to play a handful of shows in advance of the Dum Dum Girls' debut LP, I Will Be, which hits March 30.
Produced by Dee Dee and industry vet Richard Gottehrer (who co-wrote "My Boyfriend's Back" and produced key albums by Blondie and the Go-Go's), I Will Be aims at a reverbed haven somewhere between bad ass 1960s girl gang the Shangri-Las and 1980s distortion gods Jesus and Mary Chain. The taught attack is highlighted by Dee Dee's vocals, which are both bubblegum and tough. The one-time "square, all-black, straight As, alterna-teen nerd" grew up listening to Hole and performing musical theater, light opera, and jazz before settling on her current leather-clad guise. Click on to read our Q&A with the Dum Dum Girls leader, in which she talks about singing in German, hating sweatpants, and loving Mariah Carey:

Megahertz myth
The megahertz myth, or less commonly the gigahertz myth, refers to the misconception of only using clock rate (for example measured in megahertz or gigahertz) to compare the performance of different microprocessors. While clock rates are a valid way of comparing the performance of different speeds of the same model and type of processor, other factors such as pipeline depth and instruction sets can greatly affect the performance when considering different processors. For example, one processor may take two clock cycles to add two numbers and another clock cycle to multiply by a third number, whereas another processor may do the same calculation in two clock cycles. Comparisons between different types of processors are difficult because performance varies depending on the type of task. A benchmark is a more thorough way of measuring and comparing computer performance.
The myth started around 1984 when comparing the Apple II with the IBM PC. The argument was that the PC was five times faster than the Apple II, as its Intel 8088 processor had a clock speed roughly 5x the clock speed of the MOS Technology 6502 used in the Apple. However, what really matters is not how finely divided a machine's instructions are, but how long it takes to complete a given task. Consider the LDA # (Load Accumulator Immediate) instruction. On a 6502 that instruction requires two clock cycles, or 2 μs at 1 MHz. Although the 4.77 MHz 8088's clock cycles are shorter, the LDA # needs 4 of them, so it takes 4 / 4.77 MHz = 0.84 μs. So that instruction runs only a little more than 2 times as fast on the original IBM PC than on the Apple II.
The x86 CISC based CPU architecture which Intel introduced in 1978 was used as the standard for the DOS based IBM PC, and developments of it still continue to dominate the Microsoft Windows market. An IBM RISC based architecture was used for the PowerPC CPU which was released in 1992. In 1994 Apple Computer introduced Macintosh computers using these PowerPC CPUs, but IBM's intention to produce its own desktop computers using these processors was thwarted by delays in Windows NT and a falling out with Microsoft.[citation needed] Initially this architecture met hopes for performance, and different ranges of PowerPC CPUs were developed, often delivering different performances at the same clock rate. Similarly, at this time the Intel 80486 was selling alongside the Pentium which delivered almost twice the performance of the 80486 at the same clock rate.[1]
Rise of the myth[edit]
The myth arose because the clock rate was commonly taken as a simple measure of processor performance, and was promoted in advertising and by enthusiasts without taking into account other factors. The term came into use in the context of comparing PowerPC-based Apple Macintosh computers with Intel-based PCs. Marketing based on the myth led to the clock rate being given higher priority than actual performance, and led to AMD introducing model numbers giving a notional clock rate based on comparative performance to overcome a perceived deficiency in their actual clock rate.[2]
Modern adaptations of the myth[edit]
With the advent of multi-core and multi-threaded processing, the myth has stirred up more misconceptions regarding the measurement of performance in multi-core processors. Many people believe that a quad-core processor running at 3 GHz would result in an overall performance of 12 GHz worth of CPU. Others may say that the overall performance is in fact 3 GHz, with each core running at 750 MHz. Both of these ideas are incorrect. Often the same user making these comparisons will be comparing multiple brands of CPU, which will not do the same amount of work per cycle in any case. While micro-architecture traits such as pipeline depth play the same role in performance, the design of parallel processing brings other factor into the picture: software efficiency.
It is true that a poorly written program will run poorly on even a single-core[3] system, but even a well written program that was designed in a linear fashion, will often (if not always) perform better on a single-core system than a multi-core one.
Take the following instructions, for example:
|x := (x + 1);
|goto 1;
A program such as this will actually run faster on a single-core chip with a 4 GHz clock rate, than on a dual-core chip that clocks at 2 GHz. Because the equation x = (x + 1) depends on the previous value of x, which can only be accessed by the core that computed that previous value. Therefore, every time that instruction repeats (indefinitely, in this case) the new value of x must be derived by the same core as the previous value, effectively limiting the process to one core. On a single core system, this has no performance effect, as the entire 4 GHz peak performance is churned out by one lone core, but on a multi-core system, the code is constrained to use of only one of the cores running at only 2 GHz, slicing the program's speed in half (or more).
However, if the code is altered:
|x := (x + 1);
|y := (y + 1);
|goto 1;
The values x and y are independent of each other, and therefore can be processed on separate cores at the same time (rather than waiting in queue for one core). Programs that are written to take advantage of multi-threading, such as this one (please note that setting up and writing a multi-threaded program is much more complex than depicted here; these examples have been simplified for the sake of readability and aim of the article) are able to approach the peak efficiency of (clock rate * number of cores), but due to shared resources between cores (each core needs to pick up instructions from a common place) 100% peak efficiency will never fully be reached, thus even a well-written multi-threaded program will still shed favorable results (however slightly) on a single-core system of the same architecture and twice the advertised clock speed.
A system's overall performance cannot be judged by simply comparing the amount of processor cores and clock rates, the software running on the system is also a major factor of observed speed. The myth of the importance of clock rate has confused many people as to how they judge the speed of a computer system.
Challenges to the myth[edit]
Computer advertising emphasized processor megahertz, and by late 1997 rapidly increasing clock rates enabled the Pentium II to surpass the PowerPC in performance. Apple then introduced Macs using the PowerPC 750 (or G3) which they claimed outperformed Pentium IIs while consuming less power. Intel continued to promote their higher clock rate, and the Mac press frequently used the "megahertz myth" term to emphasise claims that Macs had the advantage in certain real world uses, particularly in laptops.[citation needed]
Comparisons between PowerPC and Pentium had become a staple of Apple presentations. At the New York Macworld Expo Keynote on July 18, 2001, Steve Jobs described an 867 MHz G4 as completing a task in 45 seconds while a 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 took 82 seconds for the same task, saying that "the name that we've given it is the megahertz myth".[4] He then introduced senior hardware VP Jon Rubinstein who gave a tutorial describing how shorter pipelines gave better performance at half the clock rate. The online cartoon Joy of Tech subsequently presented a series of cartoons inspired by Rubinstein's tutorial.[5]
Intel reaches its own speed limit[edit]
From approximately 1995 to 2005, Intel advertised its Pentium mainstream processors primarily on the basis of clock speed alone, in comparison to competitor products such as from AMD. Press articles had predicted that computer processors may eventually run as fast as 10 to 20 gigahertz in the next several decades.
This continued up until about 2005, when the Pentium Extreme Edition was reaching thermal dissipation limits running at speeds of nearly 4 gigahertz. The processor could go no faster without requiring complex changes to the cooling design, such as microfluidic cooling channels embedded within the chip itself to remove heat rapidly.
This was followed by the introduction of the Core 2 desktop processor in 2006, which was a major change from previous Intel desktop processors, allowing nearly a 50% decrease in processor speed while retaining the same performance.
Core 2 had its beginnings in the Pentium M mobile processor, where energy efficiency was more important than raw power, and initially offered power-saving options not available in the Pentium 4 and Pentium D.
The speed limit gets raised?[edit]
In the succeeding years after the demise of the NetBurst microarchitecure and its 3+ GHz CPUs, microprocessor clock speeds kept slowly increasing after initially dropping by about 1 GHz. Several years' advances in manufacturing processes and power management (specifically, the ability to set clock speeds on a per-core basis) allowed for clock speeds as high or higher than the old NetBurst Pentium 4s and Pentium Ds but with much higher efficiency and performance. Current (2013) Intel microprocessors clock as high as Xeon E3-1290v2 4.1 GHz and 4.4 GHz (Core i7 4790K). AMD crossed the 4 GHz barrier in 2011 with the debut of the initial Bulldozer based AMD FX CPUs and in June 2013 released the FX-9590 which can reach speeds of up to 5.0 GHz. However, similar issues with power usage and heat output have returned.

After starting the week on a strong note, the stock market took a hit yesterday amid investor anxiety over the situation in Ukraine and a report indicating a slowing of economic growth in China. At one point, the Dow Jones industrial average plummeted by nearly 200 points. At the end of the day, the Dow lost 139 points, and the index was at its lowest level since mid-May. The same worries are dragging overseas markets down in Wednesday trading. Benchmarks indexes in Germany, France and Britain are all down more than 1 percent. Japan's Nikkei lost 1.1 percent.
- The Commerce Department releases international trade figures for June this morning. In Berlin, Germany's Economy Ministry releases June industrial figures for Europe's largest economy. Quarterly financial results are scheduled before the market opens for Chrysler Group LLC and Mondelez International Inc.
- President Barack Obama says the U.S. must do more to boost its financial foothold in Africa as economies on the continent grow stronger. Obama spoke yesterday at a U.S.-Africa summit in Washington that has brought together business leaders and politicians. In conjunction with the summit, the White House announced $33 billion in commitments - much of it from the private sector - aimed at increasing U.S. economic ties with Africa.
- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has lured away an executive from smartphone chip maker Qualcomm to hammer out more deals that will expand the software maker's presence in the mobile device market. Margaret "Peggy" Johnson will serve as Microsoft Corp.'s executive vice president of business development after spending the past 24 years at Qualcomm Corp. She will report directly to Nadella in her new job.
- Shares of Walgreen Co. fell yesterday on media reports that the nation's largest drugstore chain will not reincorporate itself overseas - a politically touchy move that could have significantly lowered its tax bill. Walgreen owns a 45 percent stake in Alliance Boots, the largest drugstore chain in the United Kingdom. Walgreen says it will acquire the remaining stake of the company, but it will not pull off an inversion with the Swiss health and beauty retailer.

TAMPA, Fla. -- A judge has overturned a controversial state law that required public employees to contribute 3 percent of their salaries toward their pensions.
On Tuesday, Leon County Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford ruled the pension contribution broke a contract the state made with workers and is unconstitutional.
Judge Fulford ruled the state should immediately stop collecting the 3 percent contribution. Plus, Florida must repay workers all of the money, along with interest, collected since the new law took effect last July.
That will amount to about $1 billion.
Megan Allen says the decision is a victory. Allen is one of two Bay Area plaintiffs named in the class action lawsuit.
Allen was named Florida's Teacher of the Year for 2010 and says the law requiring public employees to contribute 3 percent of their salaries towards their pensions was an assault on her profession.
She says, "I feel like the state reneged on the promise they made to us when we decided to dedicate our lives to our students. When I first saw the email this afternoon, I did the happy dance, but at the same time I'm cautiously optimistic."
Representative Will Weatherford, (R) Wesley Chapel, feels differently. He voted for the state law and says, "The state of Florida is the only state up until last year that did not require their employees to contribute something. In a perfect world, we wouldn't have to do that...but when you have budget constraints....you have the private sector....where everybody contributes."
Governor Rick Scott says this is an example of a judge wanting to "write the law" and he says the state law is constitutional. He says, "To think that we can't change a pension plan when we know it's underfunded...I want to make sure we can fix the plan so individuals can actually rely on it, because today you can't rely on that plan."
But that's not what State Senator Mike Fasano, (R) District 11, told us about the plan. He voted against the state law. "Our pension plan here in the State of Florida -- the Florida retirement system is one of the, in my opinion, most solvent pension funds in the country. I believe it's funded appropriately."
Allen adds, "It's very alluring to teachers and it's one of the things that we are promised when we become teachers. It's part of our contract. It's part of our compensation."
The governor says the state is going to appeal the decision.
The ruling comes as state lawmakers finalize their budget for next year and it is balanced by using that three percent contribution. The judge's ruling would put next year's budget $1 billion in the red.
House Speaker Dean Cannon says the ruling has no immediate impact on next year's budget and lawmakers will pass it on Friday.
Attorney Ron Meyer, who led the lawsuit on behalf of the Florida Education Association, calls it a momentous ruling that shows even the governor and Legislature have to follow contracts.
Meyer says, "The employees have a contractual right to their pensions and this court recognized that even if the governor and the Legislature choose not to. This is important. We are a society of laws. This court has said even the powerful have to follow the laws."
He adds, "This was a gamble that the governor and Legislature made last year. They gambled taxpayers' money that they could balance the budget on the backs of the hard-working public employees of the state. They lost that bet today and what happened was the rule of law and the contract that the Legislature created is going to be enforced."
Florida Education Association President Andy Ford says, "We wish that the governor and Legislature would listen to what the judge said, take it to heart, and just let's move forward. But if they choose to appeal, we're going all the way."
Ford says the teachers union is ready to take the suit all the way to the Florida Supreme Court.

Laura Mayer
Laura Mayer is an Associate Producer at WNYC.
So a funny thing happens when you quit smoking. While you may have stopped the physical act of inhaling cigarette smoke in order to feel the effects of nicotine, your body is still addicted to the stimulant.
Nicotine Replacement Therapies, or NRTs, are patches, gum, lozenges and, increasingly, e-cigarette water vapor devices, that are meant to wean the smoker off of nicotine. This is old news, obviously. But to me, two years after quitting smoking, the need for nicotine is my daily headline. I cannot quit the nic.
I tried the patch, and it gave me the type of nervous energy – paranoia, really – and cold clamminess of a serial shoplifter, always poised to walk through the security sensor exits. The gum worked okay. But then I Googled what can happen to your masseter muscles if you chew too much, and that was the end of that. Sucking on a regular sized Nicotine lozenge feels like harboring a chalky gumball criminal in my cheek.
The NRT that really got me, and it still has me, is the Nicorette Mini-Lozenge. It's Tic-Tac small, discrete, and dissolves quickly. And, unlike its generic counterparts, Nicorette's brand has what I can only describe as a "satisfying burn," the familiar discomfort reminiscent of smoking a cigarette. The mini-lozenges were the only thing that got me to stop smoking for good. I don't want to start smoking again, so I'm staying on them for now.
Other people have discovered the joys of the Nicorette mini-lozenge, too. So much so that they're very hard to find these days. They're no longer sold on popular online retailers, like Amazon, Target or Soap.com. And you can't find them in stores in New York City. On a recent Saturday I took what I called a "long walk," but was really an OTC drug run through Manhattan, from CVSs to Duane Reades, and back again. I went into eight different places before I finally found a pharmacist who had one pack of the 4 mg Nicorette mini-lozenges, hidden away behind the counter. "There have been supply problems," she said. You don't say!
The Nicorette company, owned by GlaxoSmithKline, is a behemoth. The Nicorette brand has been around for some 20 years. Their product has, according to them, helped millions of people quit smoking.
Despite the client base, the Nicorette company is very bad at communicating with their customers, many of whom are woefully dependent on their products. Nicorette's slogan, "Quit on Your Own Terms," is a nice bit of inspirado. But, if you're switching out one form of nicotine with another in order to quit smoking, you're really quitting on Nicotine's – or Nicorette's – Terms.
Nicorette doesn't have a general Facebook page, with the exception of Nicorette India. Nicorette's verified Twitter account's last tweet? February 5th, about CVS's decision to stop carrying cigarettes. Their last interaction with Twitter users was February 6th. But, like with most products these days, users feel a need, and increasingly an expectation, to communicate with brands online. Particularly ones where they're dependent on the product.
Search Twitter for Tweets to Nicorette, and you see that even though Nicorette has stopped interacting with its users, users haven't stopped asking questions that require answers.
@nicorette went to 5 different stores in NYC and can't find mini lozenges anywhere! Still make them?
— Paul Starke (@pstarke) May 21, 2014
Hey @nicorette I can't find 4mg mint lozenges ANYWHERE in Chicago. I'm 30 days on the wagon and these CVS brand lozenges aren't as good
— Corey Richardson (@vexedinthecity) May 16, 2014
@nicorette okay thanks so much for all your help, if it goes septic, I'm suing
— Steph Mason (@Steph_Masonn) April 29, 2014
Aside from my pharmacist friend's comment that Nicorette's having supply problems, whenever I searched online for any information about Nicorette from the company, I came up empty. No info from Nicorette. No answers from other people experiencing the same problems. That was until earlier this week, when I came across Nicorette South Africa's website.
On the homepage of the website, you'll see the notice that: "Please note that information in this website is intended for residents of South Africa only." Trouble is the Internet is international. Fine to issue that declaimer, but people who want information – especially about a drug they're relying on -- will go anywhere online to get it.
I was reading through this South Africa FAQ section, expecting it to be a standard FAQ section - how to use the product etc. - when I realized that all of the questions were user submitted. The answers are supplied by a not-totally-great English writer, a doctor by the name of "Dr. John." The answers are written like a Nigerian email scammer wrote them.
How to stop smoking?
Dear Enquirer - quitting smoking is as challenging an endeavour as trying to quit any other drug of addiction/abuse - so DETERMINATION TO QUIT is number 1 on the list -- this determination must be fed by the knowledge that every drag on a cigarette pulls more than 4700 known toxins into your body - and at least 60 of these are carcinogens !! Number 2 on the list is to tell all your friends that you are quitting - and this helps to oblige you to get clean; number 3 is that you'll find help on the Nicorette website as to the role of nicotine replacement to assist in breaking free from the thousands of toxins in cigarette smoke. Then 4, internet has many helpful sites for quitting smoking - examine some of these. BUT do realise that you'll do your health and your finances a vast benefit by quitting poisoning yourself with cigarette smoke. Every best wish - dr. john.
Fine, how to stop smoking. Makes sense in the FAQ section for Nicorette. The response is weird, but fine. But then the seriousness of the questions, and the lack of help in the responses, got very, very bleak.
Hi DR John i just resently found out that im pregnant, will it be safe to use the patches to quit during this period? what are the effect to the baby if i continue to smoke while pregnant ?
Dear Lady - Thank you for your enquiries. Let me attempt to provide some responses that may be helpful to you. FIRSTLY - and most importantly: please realise that every drag on a cigarette draws more than 4700 known toxins into your body - and if pregnant, your developing baby gets these too !! Do PLEASE open & peruse this internet site for more information:http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-smoking-during-pregnancy-affects-you-and-your-baby_1405720.bc SECONDLY: there are no Nicorette patches currently available, and there will not be for several months at least; we await approval by the Medicines Control Council for new 'Invisi-Patches', but meanwhile all stock of the original patches has been totally sold out! The only Nicotine replacement that we can offer currently is the Nicorette Gum. However, we may not recommend the use of Nicotine Replacement medications during pregnancy/lactation by virtue of the regulations of the Medicines Control Council !! However your GP or your Obstetrician-Gynaecologist may certainly prescribe Nicotine Replacement medications for you to use (this could include the nicotine-only e-cigarette). I'm sure you believe, as I do, that no one is entitled to poison anyone else. You may be choosing to poison yourself with smoking but are you entitled to poison anyone else, particularly a new Life ?? So please discuss this matter urgently with your responsible healthcare practitioner! With every best wish to You and your new Baby - yours truly - dr. john..
can you use Nicorette quickmist if you have had a mild stroke in the last 3 months,mine was last Sunday
Dear Enquirer - Thank you for this enquiry - but as there is no Nicorette Quickmist available in South Africa -- [which is where your enquiry eventuated] -- I can but comment that if you can smoke after having had a stroke, then getting rid of the known more than 4700 toxins in tobacco smoke, must make the nicotine replacement medication mightily safer than smoking !! Do discuss with your own medical practitioner with regard to this matter - as stroke victims are always on fine knife-edge !! With every best wish - dr. john - for Johnson & Johnson In Cape Town, South Africa.
And then, there was this:
you attract blog tifafrc through organic methods you are looking at focusing on generating targeted visitors by writing articles and blog posts centered around well researched keywords and key phrases, typically long-tailed key phrases. keyword research is a skill that you are going to want to master
Hi - and thank you for your comments. Best wishes - dr. john
Dr. John has many answers, but probably not the ones that the Nicorette company wants to rise to the top, just by virtue of the fact that they're putting out no other communications to the public. Of all companies, you'd think that one founded on the issue of breaking addiction would have a communications strategy that, well, communicates. Particularly at a time where there's a lot of public health attention focused on stopping smoking.
The Nicorette Mini Lozenge shortage has been going on in the New England region for the past three months, in my expert estimation. I'm whittling away at my supply. It's become an "is it Sponge Worthy?" situation every time I think about having one. Soon I'll be out, and I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more packages from Ebay. I've stopped smoking but I'm still addicted to the cure.
I suspect GSK are wary of impending law suits and have chosen to withdraw the product from the market.
I have been addicted to the lozenges for years now and my desire for Nicotine has actually increased - why wouldn't it - I can drip feed nicotine all day long with these things.
Many forums are starting to contain anecdotal reports of gum and teeth damage, gastro-intestinal issues, renal complaints and so on.
NRT products have not been subject to any form of testing or regulation the common wisdom being that they can only be an improvement on smoking (really?).
J&J/ GSK have basically found themselves in the very lucrative position of peddling a freely available unregulated highly addictive drug. Perhaps they have started to realise how dangerous it is and how exposed legally they might be? Would certainly explain their reticence to talk....
I'm also completely addicted first to nicabate then when these were recalled to nicorette. I've managed to find supplies from various places over the last year but seems they have finally run out. Now I'm using the gum which is really awful. I too didnt realise they were made by the same company. I rang Johnson and Johnson who distribute nicorette in Australia and they were reallt rude - just said there were delays in production. I find that strange as they seem to be able to produce all the other nrt medications - have u noticed how much gum there is. I also contacted Quit Smoking Victoria and they said there were other products I coukd use grrr...not very sympathetic.
One of my theories is that they are trying to get people to use the new products like those film things and the mouth spray. Another theory - the lozenges are too effective and cigarette companies dont like it or their are health concerns with them.
Great story and great comments , I too had a love affair with the 4 mg lozenge, finally something worked and I was no longer smoking. Everyone that I ever met that used the lozenges said they loved them and that they were now addicted to them.
If you stop to think about it for a moment, I believe that the success of the lozenge has been their own downfall, maybe someone chain "smoked" a lot of these little beauties, then got really, really sick, just a theory, who knows? Something scared GSK into stopping production.
I just had to go cold turkey, no smokes, no NRT, just quit, wow the first time you realize you are finally free is amazing.
The funny thing was it was heaps easier to quit than I had /and others with vested interests led me to
Whatever is being provided for you by outside interests/ companies/ governments, can be taken away from you. Good Luck Everyone.
Wow, I'm not alone in my Nic minis addiction! If you're like me at all, you probably can relate to this little tidbit. I've been somehow keeping it going for these past months by sheer determination, assertiveness, desperation and dumb luck. I know what it's like to stop at several CVS's, Walgreens, Rite-Aids, etc....on my usually futile hunting expeditions. But "oh the joy" when i hit paydirt and am digging deep to come up with the $150 USD to pay for the last 3 packs of 4mg mini's on the shelf!!! What a feeling.....SCORE!!! But alas, all good things come to an end and I am only now dealing with the bleak reality that until they go back into production, I'm most probably looking at my last full 3 pack. Not depressed about it; just need to come to terms. Bottom line? I think it sucks that this huge company can't be honest with us and just tell us when, if ever, they will bring the mini's back to market. Like many, I've tried emailing them, only to get the same tripe, the same canned answers and the same dull vacant, glazed over eyes responses. So it looks like this is the end. Lastly, I know what it's like to over pay on ebay, like a nicotine junkie. Kinda sad if it wasn't so funny. Perhaps that should be reversed. I just don't have the energy. Sigh
After a little research I'm a little suss on the info the company provided. Somethings going on, too addictive? none of their other products have been affected all of which i can't stand, gum, spray, patches - Yuk!

Janet McBride Wondering the same thing,I think you are letting a lot of people down.The other products dont work as well. Either you are bringing them back or not !!!!!!!
October 6, 2014 at 9:15am
Debbie Gangl They were kind of evasive when I called them, too. They first said they were looking for a new manufacturer, then said they were not making them anymore! At the end of the call they asked if I wanted to say anything, and I said "Bring back the lozenges!" !
October 6, 2014 at 9:20am
Ted Hughes I have changed to the thrive lozenges , about the same price , I don't like the gum ,, it loosens your teeth over time ..Nicorette Canada sucks for not providing their customers any relevant info on the cherry lozenges.

Great article!
I live on the West Coast of the United States. We can still get the small mini-lozenges but Nicorette lozenges are gone. The generics are still available - in some places.
Does anyone know who long this shortage of lozenges will go on?
Cool drops stopped me smoking. Back on again! Tried everywhere in Sydney, no answers. Thanks for nothing guys....
I live in an Asian country and they ran out of lozenges at the start of the year. It's incredibly irresponsible of Glaxo to do this in my opinion without giving a timeframe on when the situation will be resolved.
Over the last couple of months in Adelaide, Australia I've noticed the supply of Nicorette Cooldrops getting less and less.. and now totally gone. Doing a search on this, I hadn't realised that Nicobate and Nicorette were the same brand (GSK makes both apparently).
How long does it take to "fix production issues"??
I've been using the lozenges for a while. I hate chewing the gum (especially as some brands taste like used socks), and that kick you describe is exactly why I use the lozenges. Arggh. Well, at least if I go back to gum maybe I can really quit nicotine :/
There is something very weird going on here. It isn't a manufacturing issue. That is clearly a lie. Nicorette and Nicabate have both pulled their lines. The fact that they are lying about it really disturbs me.
I can handle my nicotine dependence with the lozenges. Nothing else works for me. Without them, I am in trouble with quitting.
As I say, there is something else at work here. I hate to sound paranoid, but I wonder if they were too effective. I wonder if they have eaten into the cigarette comapanies' profits to the point where they stopped supplying the nicotine to these companies. They are also pushing their e-cigarettes pretty hard at the moment too.
Very amusing take on the situation - and so very true. I too loved (and now miss), that satisfying slow burn of the nicorette mini lozenges..... especially the 4mg variant. There was nothing quite like popping one of them during a slow, exasperating meeting.... ahhhhh.
Anyhow, since the shortage in Australia about 6 months ago, I switched to another brand of larger lozenge which disgusted me so much, I have actually quit the therapy altogether.... (so I am now off the NRT and cigarettes now). My partner is now reporting that she can't even get the alternate brand now. This is leaving a lot of vulnerable "quitters" very short on satisfying options.... they're either going to quit altogether (like me), or go back to the cigarettes (which have gone up to about $21 a pack of 20's in Oz!).
I wonder that is going on?
Hi guys. very interesting thread. Here in England all brands and sizes of lozenge are running out . Perhaps people are switching brands rather than trying gum etc. I am also about two years into my addiction to NRT, and experiencing severe sweats and headache using gum which doesnt seem to work as well. Are ecigs diverting all the supply? Does anyone know?
5 to 6 months now that the minis (2 and4) have been unavailable. I e-mailed GSK in March and they said that there were manufacturing problems at the factory in the Carolinas and production was temporarily halted. Further investigation reveals thar there was a pill size and content problem being addressed (content?). No further word since then.
I, too, am hooked on the cure. I have been using generics from CVS, Walgreens and Kroger that are all made by the same company and are not as effective.
Very interesting story. I've also recently quit cancer sticks but have had trouble less with the nicotine addiction and more with the habit and feeling of drawing smoke into my lungs. This feeling is what was really addicted to. So the e-cig charged with nicotine has helped with that - the vapour gives you a similar hit. But what is helping me quit most of all is herbals. Get your hands on some lobelia, damiana and/or mugworts. Google "happy herb company" and search through herbal alternatives to nicotine. The active compound in lobelia - lobeline - actually inhibits nicotine from its receptor and replicates its opiate response in the brain, tricking the brain into feeling it has had a nicotine hit. Good luck and well written.

How did you first hear about Common Sense Media?
Submitted by johnwilliams on

Parents need to know that "Red" is another clean track from Taylor Swift, with no profanity or adult content like sex or substance use. That said, the song deals with one of Swift's favorite topics -- turbulent romantic relationships -- and all the ups and downs that come with them. It's an overall acceptable track for tweens, though parents may find themselves explaining what Swift means by alternately liking and disliking someone.
"RED" is the third single from Taylor Swift's album by the same name. Performed live for the first time at the BBC Radio Teen Awards in October 2012, the clean song finds Swift using color-based metaphors ("losing him was blue like I'd never known / Missing him was dark gray all alone … but loving him was red") covering familiar territory –– the exhilarating highs and devastating lows of romantic relationships.
Like "Begin Again," the second single from the same album, "Red" sports a distinctly country sound. Though the arrangements are nothing too new for Swift, the cute way she sings about love in colors lends a unique twist to her typical approach.
Families can talk about the rapid speed with which artists today release new singles ("Red" is the third in three weeks for Swift) and the effect it has on audiences.
How could this more-is-more approach be both helpful and hurtful to an artist?
How has the Internet changed the ability of artists to get their music out to the masses? Are these changes a good or bad thing (or both)?

Best Performance in a One-Person Show (2007)
Diana Dresser
This light comedy by Theresa Rebeck had many sharp lines, but it pretty much stayed afloat on the charm and talent of Diana Dresser, playing a young mother about to re-enter the dating scene. Dresser tried on various items of clothing and a few pairs of shoes, periodically asking the audience for an opinion. Prone on the bed, she wriggled into her pantyhose in one of the funniest scenes we'd encountered all year. She was scatty; she was brash; she was scared; she was vulnerable. And we were with her every step of the way. It's almost de rigueur for a female comic to be plain and to make a trademark of rueful comments about her looks, but there's also a tradition of scatty, beautiful comediennes, from England's gorgeous Kay Kendall, who died far too young in the late 1950s, to the effervescent Jenna Elfman of Dharma & Greg. Dresser could easily join these ranks, but we have a suspicion she's equally good at the serious stuff.

We've been so exposed to advertising for so long that the word DEAL has lost much of its first meaning. Maybe you've experienced retailers that have exactly the same pieces on sale nearly every week of the year. Or perhaps the deal price turned out to be greater than the competition's routine cost. Most advertising catch phrases are meant to entice, snare or occasionally utterly con the consumer. A consumer-shrewd individual who is not easily taken for a disappointing or expensive transaction might even find some comedy in their own methods.
Please note, that is not a get-rich-fast sorta garbage. You'll have to work first and probably work hard. Not overly hard perhaps, but hard enough. This is how it is and I firmly believe this is exactly as it should be. First you work on your business marketing, then your company works for you. Invest into your future now and you will manage to reap the benefits later. Do nothing and nothing can happen.
Then when you examine startup valuations and especially with cases like Facebook, you should look at it from those two point of views. The reason some jobs are astronomicly valued compared to others is only because the sector think those startups have something to offer and that some businesses desires to block the other winners in the sector from entering the firm and taking advantage of it.
So last night, while waiting for my TV to conclude getting dressed for our date, I rooted around for some flows about next fall's lineup and, as ever, Joe Biden presented. Here, then, are some new show previews, and some channel highlights, for the approaching season.
In the market, you'll find many suppliers who promote their hosting which have infinite bandwidth. To be honest, there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. These strategies that maintain to offer this type of coverage really doesn't exist. This claim is merely a Marketing tool or sales pitch to fool you into signing up with their business.
