Nvidia Project Shield demo shows Borderlands 2 in action
Nvidia's Project Shield, a portable gaming device from the graphics card manufacturer, has been demoed running Borderlands 2.
The device, which Nvidia unveiled at CES, combines a Tegra 4 mobile chip with a controller and a screen, to let you play not only Android games but also to stream titles from your PC to the controller.
READ: Nvidia Project Shield hands-on
We were shown the controller running Need For Speed at CES, and Nvidia has now posted a video featuring Borderlands 2 in action.
Seeing an FPS like Borderlands 2 - which was running on a nearby PC with a top of the line Nvidia 680 card - on Project Shield gives you a great idea of what it can do. There is no reason why titles like Watch Dogs, when it is released, or even Crysis 3, could not run on Project Shield, provided it supports them.
Nvidia will be having weekly Project Shield PC Mondays, to show different games up and running on the device.
It's is yet to confirm a release date for Project Shield, but it does remain right up there on our most-wanted list for gadgets in 2013. Don't forget the PS4 though.

This restaurant has very good food. You will not leave hungry. I wish they also had "a la carte" and not have to take the menu because it was too much food and couldn't finish.
This restaurant was recommended in the Rough Guide and we weren't disappointed. The location on the harbour front is great. We had the 23 euro set menu which had a great choice including a chef's special for each of the 3 courses. The service was excellent, the food delicious and attractively presented. We would highly recommend it
We have just had a simply wonderful meal at this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service great and the meal reasonably priced. Would highly recommend it.
It's the Wandering Yank here. Mrs. Yank and I stayed at the Hotel Corinna (see my review), and the proprietor strongly recommended this restaurant. A great suggestion!
It's a seafood restaurant overlooking the boat harbor, very near the Bordeaux ferry. Decor is bright and comfortable, and service is attentive and efficient. I had a pasta dish with squid, and Mrs....
Facing Royan marina the restaurant is in a nice spot and gives a pleasant view (we were next to a window), the staff are very welcoming, friendly and offer advice where needed. The menu is mainly fish with a number of choices including one dish for each course that depended on the chef's mood of the day - I tried...
The restaurant is in a fantastic location with a lovely view of the marina, staff were really welcoming and very helpful. The first course was very good, club sandwich with confit de canard, another was coriander blini with smoked salmon both very nice. The foie gras was good but could have been served with better accompaniments. Main course was average,...
Excellent, fresh food. A nice personal taste to the dishes. How can the y do it at this price!
And the staff....fantastic.
A good quality - primarily fish - restaurant on the port. Perfectly cooked fish and sea food served in imaginative ways. Considerably better than the average in Royan and not aimed at tourists. Really cool staff and good service.
A great little restaurant with a nice atmosphere and freindly English speaking staff. Had the risotto cake to start, really nicely seasoned and very imanigative. For main the veal, which was a chef special. This was very succulant and tasty served with vegtables and rice in a large bowl. Sweet was the tart tartin, again really flavoursome.
All our dishes...
One of the best restaurants in Royan. And the price is low for a sophisticated place like this.
The food was not all to my liking, though it mostly wasn't the fault if the PB itself. The cod came with a green sauce and ratatouille. I'm not a fan of fish in general so missed much of this.
The main...

If I can a passage see
In this word-perplexity,
Or a fit expression find,
Or a language to my mind
(Still the phrase is wide or scant),
To take leave of thee, GREAT PLANT!
Or in any terms relate
Half my love, or half my hate:
For I hate, yet love, thee so,
That, whichever thing I show,
The plain truth will seem to be
A constrain'd hyperbole,
And the passion to proceed
More from a mistress than a weed.
Sooty retainer to the vine,
Bacchus' black servant, negro fine;
Sorcerer, that mak'st us dote upon
Thy begrimed complexion,
And, for thy pernicious sake,
More and greater oaths to break
Than reclaimed lovers take
'Gainst women: thou thy siege dost lay
Much too in the female way,
While thou suck'st the lab'ring breath
Faster than kisses or than death.
Thou in such a cloud dost bind us,
That our worst foes cannot find us,
And ill-fortune, that would thwart us,
Shoots at rovers, shooting at us;
While each man, through thy height'ning steam
Does like a smoking Etna seem,
And all about us does express
(Fancy and wit in richest dress)
A Sicilian fruitfulness.
Thou through such a mist dost show us,
That our best friends do not know us,
And, for those allowed features,
Due to reasonable creatures,
Liken'st us to fell Chimeras,
Monsters that, who see us, fear us;
Worse than Cerberus or Geryon,
Or, who first loved a cloud, Ixion.
Bacchus we know, and we allow
His tipsy rites. But what art thou,
That but by reflex canst show
What his deity can do,
As the false Egyptian spell
Aped the true Hebrew miracle,
Some few vapors thou mayst raise
The weak brain may serve to amaze,
But to the reins and nobler heart
Canst nor life nor heat impart.
Brother of Bacchus, later born,
The Old World was sure forlorn
Wanting thee, that aidest more
The god's victories than before
All his panthers, and the brawls
Of his piping Bacchanals.
These, as stale, we disallow,
Or judge of _thee_ meant; only thou
His true Indian conquest art;
And for ivy round his dart
The reformed god now weaves
A finer thyrsus of thy leaves.
Scent to match thy rich perfume
Chemic art did ne'er presume,
Through her quaint alembic strain,
None so sov'reign to the brain.
Nature, that did in thee excel,
Framed again no second smell.
Roses, violets, but toys
For the smaller sort of boys,
Or for greener damsels meant;
Thou art the only manly scent.
Stinking'st of the stinking kind,
Filth of the mouth and fog of the mind,
Africa, that brags her foison,
Breeds no such prodigious poison,
Henbane, nightshade, both together,
Hemlock, aconite--
Nay, rather,
Plant divine, of rarest virtue;
Blisters on the tongue would hurt you.
'Twas but in a sort I blamed thee;
None e'er prosper'd who defamed thee;
Irony all, and feign'd abuse,
Such as perplex'd lovers use
At a need when, in despair
To paint forth their fairest fair,
Or in part but to express
That exceeding comeliness
Which their fancies doth so strike,
They borrow language of dislike;
And, instead of Dearest Miss,
Jewel, Honey, Sweetheart, Bliss,
And those forms of old admiring,
Call her Cockatrice and Siren,
Basilisk, and all that's evil,
Witch, Hyena, Mermaid, Devil,
Ethiop, Wench, and Blackamore,
Monkey, Ape, and twenty more,
Friendly Trait'ress, loving Foe,--
Not that she is truly so,
But no other way they know
A contentment to express,
Borders so upon excess
That they do not rightly wot
Whether it be pain or not.
Or as men, constrain'd to part
With what's nearest to their heart.
While their sorrow's at the height
Lose discrimination quite,
And their hasty wrath let fall,
To appease their frantic gall,
On the darling thing whatever
Whence they feel it death to sever,
Though it be, as they, perforce,
Guiltless of the sad divorce.
For I must (nor let it grieve thee,
Friendliest of plants, that I must) leave thee.
For thy sake, TOBACCO, I
Would do anything but die,
And but seek to extend my days
Long enough to sing thy praise.
But as she who once hath been
A king's consort is a queen
Ever after, nor will bate
Any tittle of her state,
Though a widow or divorced,
So I, from thy converse forced,
The old name and style retain,
A right Katherine of Spain;
And a seat, too, 'mongst the joys
Of the blest Tobacco Boys,
Where, though I by sour physician
Am debarr'd the full fruition
Of thy favors, I may catch
Some collateral sweets, and snatch
Sidelong odors, that give life
Like glances from a neighbor's wife,
And still live in the by-places
And the suburbs of thy graces,
And in thy borders take delight,
An unconquer'd Canaanite.

This invention relates to an optical disk apparatus wherein an optical disk is irradiated with a beam of light to make tracking control on the basis of the reflected light from the optical disk.
In an optical disk appartus which radiates laser light to the surface of a rotary recording medium to optically record or reproduce data, an automatic focus servo system is necessary which moves an objective lens of an optical pickup in accordance with vertical motion occurring in the rotating optical disk so that the data recording surface is always within the depth of focus of a laser spot. The automatic focus servo system consists of a voice coil type servo motor, for example, for moving up and down the objective lens, a focus error detecting portion and a servo amplifier for operating the servo motor in accordance with the detected focus error. Among these constituents, the focus error detecting portion is of particular importance. When adapted to the optical disk apparatus, it has desirably such a construction that the change of the reflected rays of light resulting from data pits formed on the data recording surface or from a pregroup forming tracks does not adversely affect a focus error signal. Moreover, it preferably has such a construction that even when any deviation occurs in the optical axis of the reflected rays of light from the data recording surface due to position errors of an optical system, for example, the deviation does not adversely affect the focus error signal.
Various system constructions have so far been proposed for a detector which detects the focus error described above. One of the systems converges the reflected rays of light from the data recording surface (the reflecting surface) by means of a lens and disposes a knife edge at the point of convergence so that only part of the reflected rays of light reaches a photodetector disposed at the rear of the knife edge. (Refer, for example, to "Nikkei Electronics", Nov. 21, 1983, pp. 201-202). This system can obtain a semicircular optical image that rotates in accordance with the focus deviation quantity on the photodetector, when a cylindrical lens is interposed between the convergent lens and the knife edge, and a high accuracy focus error signal can be obtained from a differential output of two split photodetectors. In accordance with this sytem, however, there occurs a problem that a change in the position of the knife edge due to thermal expansion or the like and a deviation of the optical axis of the reflected rays of light affect adversely the focus error signal because the focus error signal depends upon the relation of relative positions between the knife edge and the convergent light.
Another system is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 77637/1984, for example. This system disposes an optical element on an optical path for converging the reflected rays of light in order to separate the center portion of luminus flux from its peripheral portion in different directions, receives these separated luminus fluxes by separate photodetectors and obtains the focus error signal from the difference between the outputs of the photodetectors. However, this system involves a problem that the error signal contains a noise component because the modes of appearance of changes in the optical quantity are different between the center portion and the peripheral portion of the reflected rays of light due to the data pits and the track described already.
Moreover, the conventional systems described above do not consider the offset of the tracking error signal due to the position error of the optical system.
It is a main object of the present invention to provide an optical disk apparatus which can reduce the offset of a tracking error signal that occurs due to the movement of a received optical image resulting from the position error of the optical system, and the like.
In accordance with the present invention, the reflected rays of light from the optical disk are guided to a photodetector for detecting a tracking error signal by the use of a unidirectional convergent lens such as a cylindrical lens, and the received optical image in the direction of tracking signal detecting is expanded so that the offset of the tracking signal occurring with respect to the deviation of the received optical image due to the change of the optical axis and the like can be reduced.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the theoretical construction of an optical disk apparatus in accordance with the present invention;
FIGS. 3(A) and 3(B) are plan views, each showing the arrangement and shapes of photoreceptive portions of two photodetectors shown in FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, some preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows the theoretical construction of the present invention. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 represents the reflecting surface of a disk which is in focus; 1' represents the state where the reflecting surface is out of focus in a departing direction from the focus; 2, 2' are reflected light at the respective positions; 3 is a convex lens for converting the reflected rays of light 2, 2' to a parallel pencil or beam of rays when they pass through the lens 3; and 4 is a cylindrical lens which converts the parallel pencil of rays into two, one is a parallel pencil of rays 2A and the other, is a convergent pencil of rays 2B. The convergent pencil of rays 2B is converged at a point P1.
Reference numeral 10 represents a half mirror type beam splitter, for example, which is interposed between the cylindrical lens 4 and the converging point P1 and divides the parallel pencil of rays 2A and the convergent pencil of rays 2B into straight pencils of rays 2Aa, 2Ba and branching pencils of rays 2Ab and 2Bb, respectively. The straight pencil of rays 2Ba and branching pencil of rays 2Bb of the convergent pencil of rays 2B form convergent points P1 and P2 at equidistant positions from the branching plane 10', respectively.
The present invention uses two photodetectors 13, 14. One photodetector (13) is disposed at a position closer to the beam splitter by a predetermined distance w from the convergent point P2 while the other photodetector is disposed at a position away from the convergent point P1 by the predetermined distance w, so that they receive the outgoing rays of light from the beam splitter at the respective positions. The received optical images 11, 12 on the photodetectors 13, 14 are elliptic because the cylindrical lens 4 is disposed.
The photodetector 13 has photoreceptive portions 15e, 15f for detecting tracking error signals disposed on the right and left and photoreceptive portions 15a, 15b for detecting focus error signals disposed on and below the photoreceptive portions 15e, 15f, as shown in FIG. 3(A). The photodetector 14 has photoreceptive portions 15g, 15h for detecting tracking error signals disposed in a vertical direction and photoreceptive portions 15c, 15d for detecting focus error signals disposed on the right and left sides of the former, as shown in FIG. 3(B). The sizes of photoreceptive portions 15e, 15f, 15g, 15h are smaller than those of the received optical images 11, 12.
As shown in FIG. 2, the disk 5 has a 0.8 μm-wide guide track 6, for example. The light beam from a laser light source (not shown in the drawing) radiates the guide track 6 and is reflected there as 0-order diffraction rays of light 7, 1-order diffraction ray of light 8 and -1-order diffraction rays of light 9. These rays reach the photodetector 13 (14) through the convex lens 3 and the cylindrical lens 4.
The cylindrical lens 4 is set in a direction such that the 1-order diffraction rays 8 and -1-order diffraction ray 9 appear on the elliptic optical images 11, 12 received in the direction of their major axes, respectively.
The photodetectors 13, 14 are disposed in directions such that their photoreceptive portions 15e, 15f and 15g, 15h are aligned in the direction in which the reflected rays of light are not converged, or in other words, in the direction of the major axes described above, while the photoreceptive portions 15a, 15b and 15c, 15d are aligned in the direction in which the reflected rays of light are converged, or in the direction of the minor axes of the elliptic optical image received, respectively.
At the time of in-focus, the received optical image 11 on the photodetector 13 is in the state such as shown in FIG. 4(A) while that 12 of the photodetector 14 is in a state such as shown in FIG. 4(B). In these drawings, portions represented by oblique lines are the interference portions of diffracted rays of light. The received optical images 11, 12 are at positions where the outputs of the photoreceptive portions 15a, 15b and 15c, 15d are substantially equal to one another. The focus error signal is obtained as (A+B)-(C+D) where A, B, C and D represent the outputs of the photoreceptive portions 15a, 15b, 15c and 15d, respectively. The tracking error signal TR is obtained as (E-F)+(G-H) where symbols E through H represent the outputs of the photoreceptive portions 15e through 15h, respectively.
When the reflecting plane 1 shifts to the position 1', the convergence point of the two convergent pencils of rays moves frontward of the point P1, P2 at the time of infocus, as represented by dash lines in FIG. 1. Accordingly, the received optical image on the analyzer 13 becomes small in the Y direction. In other words, it is contracted in the direction of the minor axis. On the other hand, the received optical image on the analyzer 14 becomes great in the X direction, or in the direction of the minor axis. At this time, the output (C+D) of the photodetector 14 is greater than the output (A+B) of the photodetector 13, and the difference of the output signals of these two photodetectors 13, 14 corresponds to the focus error quantity.
When the position error of any optical component such as the convex lens 3 or the like in FIGS. 1 and 2 occurs due to a temperature change or the like in a direction that causes the tracking error, the received optical images on the photodetectors 13, 14 move to the points 11B, 12B shown in FIGS. 5(A), 5(B), for example. Due to the movement of these images, the tracking error signal becomes [(E+p)-(F-q)]+[(G+p)-(H-q)]=(E-F)+(G-H)+2p+2q. Accordingly, the offset of 2p+2q where p represents the increased output on photoreceptive portions 15e and 15g due to the tracking error and q represents the decreased output on portions 15f and 15h occurs to decrease the tracking accuracy.
When an ordinary convex lens is used in place of the cylindrical lens 4 described above, circular optical images received 16, 17, each having a diameter D represented by dash lines in FIGS. 3(A) and 3(B), appear on the photodetectors 13, 14, respectively. Since this embodiment uses the cylindrical lens 4, however, the received optical image 11 (12) becomes elliptic and its length L in the direction of the major axis is greater than the diameter D. In FIG. 6, a curve I represents the intensity distribution of the received optical image 16 (17) and a curve II represents that of the received optical image 11B (12B). It can be understood from this diagram that the intensity distribution of the optical image 11B (12B) is expanded by L/D times (=K) when compared with that of the optical image 16 (17).
Therefore, the degree of influence of the movement of the received optical image 11 (12) in the direction of the major axis upon the tracking error signal becomes 1/K of that of the cylindrical image and the tracking offset becomes 1/K so that the tracking accuracy can be improved.
FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B) show one embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, like reference numerals are used to represent like constituents as in FIG. 1 and the description of such constituents is omitted. The rays of light 2 emitted from a laser diode 18 is turned into a parallel pencil of rays by a collimator 19. Prisms 20, 21 are disposed in order to expand the width of the rays of light 2 in one direction and are fixed to a body 22 by a holder 22 and a screw through a hole 23. The holder 22 is made of ceramic, for example, so that its thermal expansion coefficient is in agreement with that of the prisms 20, 21. The rays of light 2 passing through a beam splitter 24, a 1/4 wavelength plate 32, a TR mirror 25 and an objective lens 26 forms a focus on an optical disk 27. At this time part of the ray 2 is reflected by a surface 24A and reaches an analyzer 34 through a lens 33 and the quantity of the ray 2 is detected. The photodetector 34 is disposed slantingly lest the reflected rays of light from the photodetector 34 should affect adversely other photodetectors. The reflected rays of light from the optical disk 27 are reflected by the surface 24A of the beam splitter and separated into two directions by the surface 24B. One pencil of rays reaches the photodetector 31 through a lens 30 and reproduces the signal on the optical disk 27. The other is introduced into the apparatus described with reference to FIG. 1. The cylindrical lens 4 is fitted to the holder 28 and the mirror 29 is disposed so as to bend the rays of light 2 and to reduce the overall dimensions.
FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, like reference numerals are used to identify like constituents as in the foregoing embodiment. The difference of this embodiment from the foregoing embodiment lies in that the change of the polarized light component of the rays of light 2 is read out as a signal, the 1/4 wavelength plate is omitted and the surfaces 24A and 24B respectively have limited reflection factors and transmission factors. The signal is detected by separating the rays of light passing through a 1/2 wavelength plate 35 into two directions by means of a polarizing beam splitter 36 and receiving them by photodetectors 31A and 31B, respectively, to detect the difference of outputs of the photodetectors 31A and 31B. Since the beam splitter 10 separates the rays of light 2 into two directions in substantially equal light quantities without depending upon the polarized light component, an excellent focus error signal without the influence of the signal component can be obtained.
In accordance with the present invention, the rays of light from the reflecting surface on which focusing is made is collected only in one direction so that the received optical image on the surface for detecting the tracking error signal is large and the tracking offset quantity resulting from the deviation of the received optical image is small.

Kinect for Xbox 360
Kinect review: We put the Xbox 360's new motion controller through its paces -- is Kinect worth it?
- Innovative and beginner-friendly control scheme, suitable for all ages, good range of fitness titles
- Some games suffer from lag issues, setting up can be a chore
Bottom Line
Kinect for Xbox 360 still has a lot to prove. The games we have seen so far are quite limited in scope (most are variations on the party and fitness genres). That said, the potential is there for more exciting and innovative titles in the future.
Price$ 199.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 2 stores)
Kinect for Xbox 360 has finally landed on store shelves across the country. For those who have been living under a rock for the past few months, Kinect for Xbox 360 is a full-body motion control system that mimics your movement in-game. It essentially turns you into the controller, with every hand and limb gesture replicated onscreen. (This sets it apart from the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation Move, which both require handheld controllers.)
[See how the Kinect fares against the Wii and PlayStation Move in our in-depth preview: Kinect vs. Move vs. Wii.]
As the fresh-faced recruit in the impending motion-controller war, Kinect has a lot riding on its shoulders. In addition to being flanked by two worthy adversaries from Sony and Nintendo, it must also placate the console's core base of 'hardcore' gamers. Kid-friendly Kinect games like Kinect Adventures and Kinectinals are a far cry from the gritty likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops or Gears of War.
We put Kinect for Xbox 360 through its paces — along with our pulse rates — during a week-long assessment in our Test Centre. Read on to discover our verdict.
Kinect explained
Kinect for Xbox 360 is a motion-sensing camera with advanced high-resolution tracking. The hardware continuously projects an infrared 3D box in your living room, and tracks changes within this area. In gaming terms, it works by mapping your body parts in-game (it can also respond to voice commands).
The Kinect sensor plugs into the Xbox 360 via one of its USB ports. It will work with all versions of the Xbox 360 console.
Kinect motion sensor peripheral
Microsoft is touting its new control scheme as 'full body play', with the player's arms, legs, feet and hands all being utilised in-game. As you can imagine, this leads to some very energetic gaming sessions: some games require you to jump, duck and run on the spot.
Kinect can also be used for non-gaming tasks. For instance, you can flip through the Xbox 360's menus or rewind a video clip simply by waving your arm. (It makes you feel like Tom Cruise in the movie Minority Report — very cool indeed.) The sensor can also recognise facial features and log users into Xbox Live just by looking at their face.
But first and foremost, Kinect for Xbox 360 is a games device aimed at casual gamers (that is to say families, fitness enthusiasts and people who don't normally play video games).
Kinect games can be quite energetic
Setting up
Setting up Kinect for Xbox 360 is quite simple; at least in theory. The sensor plugs into your Xbox 360 console and resides either above or below your TV. However, we found that some recent flat-screen televisions are too narrow to support the sensor's base. (There are no clamps or suction cups to secure the device.) Consequently, some users will be forced to position the sensor below their televisions, which may not be ideal with young children or pets wandering around.
Kinect calibration card
The next step is to calibrate the sensor — a task that's easier said than done. While it's not rocket science, the process does take some getting used to. We imagine younger players may struggle to get the device up and running without their parents' help. In other words, the Kinect should not be viewed as a baby-sitting device.
Creating a large enough space is also an issue, especially for two-player games. Indeed, when playing Kinect Adventures, we were forced to lug our television to the back of the Test Centre to make an appropriate space. (Microsoft recommends that players stand around six feet away from the sensor.)
Kinect for Xbox 360 requires a large play area
Plenty of space is also required between each player; otherwise you're likely to get smacked in the face. (Check out this painful video for proof.) Naturally, the Kinect sensor requires an unbroken view of your entire body, so you'll need to move any furniture that's between you and the TV. This is bound to get frustrating if you have a coffee table smack-bang in the middle of your lounge room — it means you're going to have to shift it every time you want to play.
So to summarise, Kinect for Xbox 360 requires a pretty spacious lounge room — especially in multiplayer — and may need a parent's supervision to set up.
Kinect Games
Microsoft has gone for a 'casual' strategy for its Kinect launch line-up, with an emphasis on simplistic games that can be enjoyed by the whole family. This decision has surprised many Xbox 360 owners, who were expecting a more 'hardcore' focus. (After all, this is the console that introduced us to the 'curb stomp' and chainsaw machinegun.)
By contrast, Kinect games are, to quote Microsoft, "for everyone".
Some of the Kinect games currently available include Kinect Sports (bowling, boxing, ping pong, etc.), Kinect Adventures (a collection of athletic mini-games), Kinect Joy Ride (a stunt-oriented racing game) and Kinectinals (a Nintendogs-style virtual pet game).
A suite of fitness games have also been released for Kinect, including Dance Central, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout.
Kinect Adventures
Kinect for Xbox 360 currently supports a maximum of two players at the same time. By contrast, the PlayStation Move and Nintendo Wii support up to four players simultaneously. We think this is a tad disappointing, especially considering the device's firm emphasis on party games. Mind you, given the Kinect's huge space demands, you'd probably have play in a warehouse to fit four players onscreen (we exaggerate for effect).

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Largest Azri bank plans $100 mln loan, bid to develop Islamic banking
International Bank of Azerbaijan (IBA), the country's biggest lender, plans to raise $100 million through an Islamic syndicated loan this year to develop Islamic banking in the country, the bank said in a statement.
A senior IBA executive said at the end of 2012 that the bank was planning to raise a $150 million Islamic loan in 2013 and double its Islamic banking assets to $120 million by the end of this year.
"IBA held a series of presentations together with organisers of the syndication in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar," the bank said.
Emirates NBD Capital Limited, Barwa Bank, J.P. Morgan Limited and Noor Islamic Bank are among organisers of the syndication.
The one-year private syndication would be the first of its kind in Azerbaijan and would help IBA cater to the estimated 93 percent of its 9 million population who are Muslim.
IBA, 50.2 percent-owned by Azerbaijan's Ministry of Finance, holds a 40 percent share of banking assets in Azerbaijan. It offers sharia-compliant products through an Islamic window, which follow religious principles such as a ban on interest and on pure monetary speculation.

I don't blame Deron Williams or Avery Johnson for their 14-14 record. But
Deron's comments on how he was more comfortable in the offensive system in
Utah under Sloan did cost Avery's job. They have a lot of new players on
their team, which is leading to chemistry problems. The Lakers are having the
same problem with the additions of Howard, Nash and Jamison. I actually blame
their front office the most. Their best player Deron Williams does not fit into
Avery's offensive system. Deron's poor shooting is more from not being
in a offensive system that he is comfortable with. Brook Lopez is injured most
of the season.
It will be interesting to see who they will sign as their coach. Phil Jackson said he doesn't want the job, I can't see Sloan coaching in Brooklyn. If Brooklyn wants to be a threat this year, they will need to find a coach that Williams is comfortable with and the rest of the team will respect and will play their best for.

Madonna Puts Her Upper West Side Home on Market for $23M
Madonna is selling her Harperley Hall apartment located in the upper West Side for a reported $23.5 million. The news comes just a few months after she unloaded her $28 million French Country-style mansion, which she bought while she's married to Guy Ritchie in 2003.
According to a listing information provided by Brown Harris Stevens, Madge's pad is a duplex on the fifth and sixth floor of a building at West 64th Street and Central Park West. It stands in a 6,000 square feet property with 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
Decorated by Madge's younger brother and interior designer Christopher Ciccone, it has a nearly 110 feet of frontage onto Central Park and boasts "great rooms on both levels are set off by wide Juliet balconies with French doors opening onto the Park."
In a 2007 interview, Ciccone said the pad consisted of three units; one bought by Madge when she was married to Sean Penn, another purchased by her after their divorce, and the other bought by her when she decided to renovate the place.

From Toni Morrison to Zachary Lazar
Although sold as a post-9/11 novel, Joseph O'Neill's Netherland is really more an examination of emotional stasis triggered by trauma. Hans, a mild-mannered Dutch investment analyst finds himself adrift in Manhattan after his wife returns to London with their child, leaving him with only a loose-formed Staten Island cricket team and a varied cast of similarly drifting immigrants for company. The sole thin thread keeping Hans from spinning out of control completely is his friendship with Chuck Ramkissoon, a Trinidadian cricketer, operator, possible criminal, and full-blown force of verbal nature. Chuck's rambling monologues, delivered to a protagonist nearly supine with grief and dislocation, give the novel much of its juice. But what really sets Netherland apart is how O'Neill manages to use Hans and Chuck's peculiar friendship as a lens through which to see the marvels of New York in a whole new light. Chris Barsanti
Joseph O'Neill
Willy Vlautin's heroes are the downtrodden characters who inhabit the less than hospitable land of Nevada; his Beckett-esque creations pass their cursed time in life in dive bars, broken-down casinos, and bleak roadside motels where the neon signs never stop blinking. The world is an unstable place, the imaginary Paul Newman advises Allison, the emotionally wounded and self-destructive protagonist, and the sooner one seizes that reality, the clearer the road to recovery becomes: "Remember, kid, there ain't no place you can escape to. There's no place where there aren't weirdos and death and change and new people." Keep running, he tells her, and "you'll run into yourself." No author writes about the deep yearning inside the hearts of the marginalized and displaced in contemporary society with a more unerring and sympathetic eye than Vlautin. Northline is brutal and nakedly honest but in the end it is also a tender and touching love story, albeit one built on the concept that the human longing for stability is a deception based upon an illusion.

text: I found this house up in Navada City CA. At first I thought it was pretty ugly, then it started to think it is on the unusual side of the perspective. Then the more I looked at it, the more I started to like it. It does make you wonder about the folks that live here, are they that creative in everyday life?

UT Olympian Directs Team USA "Call Me Maybe" Clip [Watch]
Can't see the video? Click here.
How do Team USA swimmers blow off steam while training for the most important competition of their lives? The world found out yesterday, when a video of the team dancing and lip-synching to Carly Rae Jepsen's pop anthem "Call Me Maybe" hit YouTube.
Directed by UT senior Kathleen Hersey, who's competing in the women's 200m butterfly at the Olympics, the viral video has garnered more than 390,000 views in just one day. It features Team USA athletes grooving everywhere from airplanes to autograph signings and, of course, the pool.
This is just the latest of many viral videos arising from what's been hailed as the "song of the summer." Pop icons like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Ashley Tisdale, late night television host Jimmy Fallon, NPR reporters, and the U.S. military in Afghanistan have all created clips. Even President Barack Obama has been pulled into the mix (without his knowledge, mind you).
Look for your favorite Longhorn swimmers getting their groove on in the video above, then find out when they'll be competing here.
