Technology is full of feuds. We've rounded-up the 10 biggest and best battles of the industry. So read on to find out who are the biggest winners and losers in history.
When it comes to technology, there's been some classic feuds: from Microsoft vs Google and Mac vs PC to the recent Blu-ray vs HD-DVD battle. And while Blu-Ray emerged triumphant, not all battles end with an out-and-out winner. We've picked out the 14 biggest tech battle and charted their history as well as identifying who, if anyone came out top.
Mac vs PC
What's so great about a Mac?
Apple products are the computing equivalent of gourmet sausage: We don't want to know what's inside these beautiful, expensive computers or what's going on beneath the surface of the sleek Mac OS X.
When it works, it works magically. When it doesn't work, we go to yoga class and wait for the next update. Oh, okay. Not only do the current Macintosh computers come equipped with some of the fastest, best-designed hardware available anywhere, but they also carry a stable, powerful, easy-to-use operating system that so far seems to be fairly immune to the security flaws and threats that menace Windows users.
Top software developers including Adobe and even Microsoft continue to develop products for the Macintosh, making Macs competitive with Windows PCs in the workplace. A few key business applications (AutoCAD, for example) still require Windows but fortunately, Macs also run Windows quite nicely. Apple's proprietary hardware is expensive compared to PC hardware, but third-party systems running OS X may soon become a reality. And isn't that Mac guy in the 'Get a Mac' Apple commercials hip?
What's so great about a PC?
More than a computing platform, the PC is a wide-open, mix-and-match hardware and software eco-system that can accommodate everything from water-cooled, internet-connected, planet-warming gaming systems, to itty-bitty portable PCs.
Instead of choosing from the limited hardware offerings of one company (Apple), you can shop around among hundreds of competitors for the exact configuration you need, usually for less money than the equivalent Mac would cost. (And you don't have to succumb to the holier-than-thou attitude worn on the sleeves of Macolytes.)
You can even dump Windows and use one of the many excellent Linux distributions available for free. What's not to like about choices (or for that matter, about the PC guy in the Apple 'Get a Mac' commercials, the embodiment of every PC user's inner geek)?

Sony PlayStation 2 vs Microsoft Xbox
What's so great about the Sony PlayStation 2?
Launched in 2000 and priced at £150 per unit, the Sony PS2 become the fastest-selling console of all time, quickly overshadowed 1999's Sega Dreamcast, and later it outsold two challengers launched in 2001, the Nintendo GameCube and the Microsoft Xbox.
Even today, slimmed-down PS2 units sell in greater numbers each month than Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii or Playstation 3 consoles.
Only the Nintendo DS handheld comes close to the PS2 in the size of its user base. Crucial to the PS2's original success were its built-in DVD (foreshadowing the inclusion of the Sony-backed Blu-ray format in the PS3) and its ability to play games designed for the original PlayStation and make them look better.
Among the noteworthy add-ons available for the PlayStation 2's were a DVD remote, a hard disk, a mouse, a keyboard, a Linux kit, a headset/microphone, an Eye Toy camera and game-specific peripherals such as the Singstar microphone and the Guitar Hero guitar.
What's so great about the Microsoft Xbox?
After supplying the operating system for Sega's Dreamcast console, Microsoft ventured directly into the console race with the PlayStation 2 squarely in its sights.
Unlike the PS2, the £150 Xbox boasted a built-in 8GB hard drive and was broadband-ready out of the box (the Xbox Live Online gaming service launched a year later). The powerful Xbox had a PC-like design and used a modified 733MHz Pentium III processor. One of its launch titles, Halo: Combat Evolved, emerged as the best-selling game of 2001. Microsoft slowly gained traction with its original Xbox.
The company got quicker off the mark, too: In 2005, the original Xbox's successor, the Xbox 360, reached stores a full year before Sony countered with its PlayStation 3 and Nintendo unveiled its Wii.

Technology is full of feuds. We've rounded-up the 10 biggest and best battles of the industry. So read on to find out who are the biggest winners and losers in history.
Ballmer vs Torvalds
What's so great about Steve Ballmer?
When Steve Ballmer, aka Goliath, sets his sights on something, he gets it. Or he throws a chair (allegedly). Or he just goes crazy. He thinks Linux is for commies.
Much of Microsoft's tremendous growth has occurred under Steve's watch as CEO, which began in 2000. His tenure has been marked by the acquisition of other companies, including Visio, Great Plains and Groove Networks. Along the way, he became a billionaire.
But with software as we know it moving off of PCs and on to the web, Ballmer desperately needs to acquire something new (such as Yahoo or Facebook) to avoid being gnawed to death by Google.
What's so great about Linus Torvalds?
Linus Torvalds, aka David, isn't against Microsoft products; he's just not interested in them. He began tinkering with the free, open-source operating system named after him while working on his master's degree in computer science.
He doesn't throw things (even allegedly) or go crazy. Although he has final say over which programmers' contributions gain entry into the Linux operating system kernel, he is in essence a lowly programmer working for the Linux Foundation. Still, thanks to Torvalds, open-source software, and Linux in particular, may eventually eat Microsoft's lunch. And remember, David won his battle.
Laptop Eraserhead vs Touchpad
What's so great about an Eraserhead?
No, not the David Lynch movie, but the cursor controller that sticks out of the middle of some laptop keyboards. Lenovo calls its version the TrackPoint. The obvious plus of the eraserhead pointer is that you don't have to move your hands from the touch-typing home row to move the cursor around the screen.
Also, it's tactile, but not so easy to maneuvre that you can make mistakes just by hitting it. Admittedly, the rubber tip can get slippery or gummy, depending on how sweaty your finger is and/or what you ate for lunch. But why mess with success?
What's so great about a Touchpad?
The touchpad has some obvious advantages over the eraserhead pointer. For example, most touchpads let you scroll or perform other tasks by tapping or touching the pad's corners or sides.
Apple's Multi-Touch trackpad raises the touchpad to a new level, enabling you to scroll, resize, rotate, and otherwise manipulate windows and other on-screen objects by making simple gestures.
The obvious disadvantage of the touchpad is that it requires you to move your hands from the keyboard's home row. It also is less precise than a mouse for handling fine work on screen. On the other hand (or on the same hand), a touchpad wipes clean with a damp cloth if your egg salad sandwich performs impromptu gravity experiments on it at lunchtime.

Lotus 1-2-3 vs Microsoft Office Excel
What's so great about Lotus 1-2-3?
Although not the first spreadsheet program written for IBM's fledgling PC, Lotus 1-2-3 was the first great one, thanks to its speed, integrated functions, lack of bugs and support for opening large spreadsheets in expanded memory.
Although other spreadsheet programs written for MS-DOS matched and even improved on 1-2-3's features, none overtook it in popularity. In the late 1980s, though, Microsoft fielded an upstart spreadsheet called Excel for its Windows graphical interface. Lotus waited too long to release a Windows-based competitor (betting instead on IBM OS/2). By the time Windows 3.0 prompted a boom in Windows use, 1-2-3 had lost its lead. Rumours of 1-2-3's demise are premature, however; IBM still sells it as part of its Lotus SmartSuite office suite.
What's so great about Excel?
If 1-2-3 was so great, how did a newcomer manage to usurp its position in just a few years? By the time Microsoft ported its Macintosh-based spreadsheet to the PC in 1987, most spreadsheets offered all the extra goodies that a number cruncher could want, including built-in formulae, macro languages and database features.
But Excel offered a couple of things that its competitors lacked: pull-down menus and wysiwyg formatting that made it dramatically easier to use. Excel's time may be up, though: today Microsoft's Office Live (which includes an Excel component) falls short of free web-hosted applications such as Google Docs & Spreadsheets and Zoho Office.
Amazon.com vs your local bookstore
What's so great about Amazon?
On some level, you just want stuff. Never mind supporting local merchants, paying your fair share of sales tax, or even seeing something before buying it. Amazon gets that.
The mother of all online stores has a huge array of stuff for sale, including used books, used CDs, and other collectibles sold through partner vendors (all the people who used to own used-book and record stores in your town). The biggest downside to an Amazon transaction is guilt, because every order arrives in a dead-tree cardboard box stowed aboard a carbon-spewing delivery truck.
What's so great about your local bookstore?
Our local bookstore is awesome. We love the library-like ambience, and occasionally we even buy something, especially if Christmas or someone's birthday is looming. Besides selling books, the store has an excellent selection of reading glasses and gourmet chocolates for immediate purchase (and gratification). The friendly staff members sometimes make great recommendations for reading that we would never think of. And we often discover interesting books by using my eyes as a kind of analogue browser and the store shelves as a rudimentary site contents listing.
Bonus: To go to your local bookstore, you have to leave your computer, if only for a few minutes. There are drawbacks, of course. Inevitably a local bookstore has far fewer books to choose from than Amazon and on top of that, you are obliged by societal mores to get dressed and brush your teeth before hopping into a carbon-spewing car to go shopping.

Technology is full of feuds. We've rounded-up the 10 biggest and best battles of the industry. So read on to find out who are the biggest winners and losers in history.
Intel vs AMD
What's so great about Intel?
Intel engineers created the first microprocessor, the 4004, in 1971. The rest (the part where Intel-powered PCs took over the world) is history. Amazingly, Intel's recent CPUs remain backward-compatible with software designed for the benchmark 80386 processor introduced in 1986.
On the green side (ecologically speaking), the company's newer, smaller chips use silicon and other component materials more efficiently, require less power, and support dramatically faster speeds. And the company had the brilliant idea of branding its work: remember the Intel Inside ad campaign, anyone? Competitors, including AMD, have tried to carve a little slice out of the Intel pie by reverse-engineering x86 processors of their own. So far, they're playing catch up.
What's so great about AMD?
For much of the early part of this century, Advanced Micro Devices enjoyed great success by producing processors that outperformed comparably priced Intel chips.
Its earlier Athlon CPUs were performance champs, and they usually sold for less than comparable Intel products. But AMD stumbled when it tried to produce an immediate competitor to Intel's latest quadruple-core processors, and the company's purchase of graphics hardware maker ATI imposed a serious burden on its finances.
AMD's plans to jump to 12-core processors by 2010 are interesting. And the prospect of success in an antitrust lawsuit alleging anticompetitive sales practices by Intel may be a source of optimism at AMD in 2008.
Luckily, the company has some of the most loyal customers in the business. In any event, a serious competitor to Intel (especially one willing to go after it in court) is the surest way to guarantee better, less expensive products for consumers.
Gates vs Jobs
What's so great about Bill Gates?
Microsoft's success has earned Bill Gates £29bn so far. Okay, so the prosecutor in the antitrust case US vs Microsoft would say that some of the business practices that generated that fortune were unethical, but business is business, right?
This summer the former evil-software-empire chairman begins his new full-time job with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, giving a big chunk of that money away.
Thanks to matching contributions from Bill's even richer card-playing buddy Warren Buffett, the foundation is currently endowed with nearly £20bn, which it uses for such laudable activities as fostering global agricultural development and financial services for the poor; fighting HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and malnutrition; improving women's and children's health; and promoting literacy in the US and abroad. Does the end justify the means?
What's so great about Steve Jobs?
Steve Jobs is the rock star of the tech world, and (reportedly) an insufferable egomaniac. He's a billionaire too, though nowhere near as wealthy as Bill Gates.
His vision of what a computer or a gadget could be, starting with the Apple I in 1976, has always been way, way out there. He foresaw that a lot of people would pay extra for a phone or a laptop that was not merely functional but a work of art, with the result that now we have engineering marvels like the iPhone and the MacBook Air.
For more than 30 years, Steve has been really excited about this stuff, browbeating and cajoling his people into make cooler devices, and then convincing the buying public of how insanely great these products are. And they are great.

Technology is full of feuds. We've rounded-up the 10 biggest and best battles of the industry. So read on to find out who are the biggest winners and losers in history.
Inkjet printers vs laser printers
What's so great about Inkjets?
Ah, little inkjet printer, you give us rich colours for our photographs, as long as we use your specially coated paper. But soon, so soon, the ink wells run dry, the colourful cataracts diminish, and everything comes out all blue or yellow.
And since a replacement set of ink cartridges for you may cost as much as the whole printer did originally, we must bid you a sorrowful adieu and move on to a new printer, which, tragically, too, will find its way to sleep in the local landfill.
More prosaically, some of your cartridges contain microchips that block printing after an expiration date or before the cartridge is empty; we can't understand why you won't let us print on our own schedule. We're perplexed that third-party cartridges tend to be far less expensive and often match the OEM cartridges' quality, and we harbour horrible suspicions as to why your manufacturer has gone to such great lengths to block their sales.
But cheap access to a clean, pretty paper copy of the Google Map to the restaurant where we're going for supper or to a quickie photo of the kid for Grandma makes all that go away.
What's so great about laser printers?
Oh mighty (and inexpensive) monochrome laser printer, for black-and-white documents you are the only way to go, pounding out prints at a cost per page of around 1p much less than the cost of inkjet printing.
And for colour elements, such as charts, logos, and other graphics, your high-toned siblings, the colour laser printers, produce longer-lasting prints faster than inkjets can, at about the same cost per page. True, when your cartridge finally conks out, the bill can really hurt and if you're a colour laser, the cartridges can set me back more than the printer did. So maybe we should share most of my 'prints' via email over our iPhone.
Microsoft Office vs Google Docs
What's so great about Microsoft Office?
Any old app can let you enter some characters, maybe italicise a few, and add some links. But if you want to do serious, manly work with office documents, you need Microsoft Office. Just try using mail merge on your documents in Google Docs.
The feature doesn't exist, does it? Applying conditional formatting to your spreadsheets? Also AWOL. Creating a custom animation in your presentations? We didn't think so. Okay, so maybe you don't use these superpowers every day but don't you want them to be there, ready to spring into action, when you do need them?
What's so great about Google Docs?
Sure, Google Docs doesn't have all the features of Microsoft Office. Today's animals aren't as big as the Tyrannosaurus Rex either, but we all know what happened to the Tyrant Lizard King. Plus, Google Docs has some cool features that Office doesn't and they happen to be features you'll actually use, like the ability to get to your documents from any PC that has a web connection. (You can even edit offline with Google Gears.)
Another great feature is the ability to let friends and colleagues share and edit your documents without a hassle. Oh yeah, and did we mention it's free?

Netscape vs Internet Explorer
What's so great about Netscape?
Alas, poor Netscape has ceased to be. After debuting in 1994, Netscape (called Netscape Navigator starting with version 2.0) quickly became the most popular web browser and helped turn a mostly text-based and underutilised global network called the internet into the hottest thing since sliced bread.
Over the course of a byzantine series of version numbering systems and owners, Netscape gradually lost market share, but eventually it inspired the open-source Mozilla and Firefox browsers.
What's so great about Internet Explorer?
Because Internet Explorer is integrated with Windows, it's always there, it loads quickly, and it continues to be the most popular browser in use. Some website components, such as Netflix's Watch Instantly feature, are written to work exclusively with Internet Explorer (sorry, Mac users).
IE7 has incorporated a few key amenities from Firefox, too, including pop-up blocking and a tabbed interface. The current version of Microsoft's browser, IE 7, works well and becomes a necessity at websites that refuse to work with Firefox. At this rate, though, by the time IE8 comes out, its features will be lagging years behind those of Mozilla's Firefox.
Nintendo vs Sega
What's so great about Nintendo?
After a North American release through Atari fell through, Nintendo went it alone, unveiling its Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) at the 1985 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Nintendo's Mario, the Mario Brothers sibling originally known as Jumpman, is arguably the best-known and most beloved video-game character in history. By 1990, the NES was the best-selling video game console in the UK, thanks to titles such as Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt (with Zapper gun), The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong Jr.
In 1989, Nintendo began to lose market share to Sega's 16-bit Genesis console - a circumstance that Nintendo sought to reverse in 1991 with the release of its own 16-bit console, the Super NES. These two 16-bit rivals were the key combatants in the notorious console wars of that era, a conflict that stirred more-intense schoolyard and media debate than today's Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3 rivalry. Were you a Mario maniac or a Sonic the Hedgehog kid?
What's so great about Sega?
Sega launched its Master System in the US only a few months after Nintendo's original NES became widely available. But Nintendo had a trump card to play against Sega: its strict game developer contracts prohibited developers from releasing any NES game on any other console for two years.
Because the NES had emerged as the dominant console, a developer had to decide between maximising its game's sales and gambling on the success of a new console. This stark choice helped limit the game offerings Sega could muster.
In 1989, Sega hit back with its Mega Drive system, the first true 16-bit console. The Mega Drive pushed the NEC TurboGrafx-16 into obscurity and quickly began eating into sales of Nintendo's original NES. Nintendo took two years to achieve parity on a technical level via the 16-bit Super NES.
Sega's blue-spiked mascot Sonic is a relative newcomer to the video-game scene (born in 1991). Though Sonic is a freedom-loving and independent super-hedgehog (faster than the speed of sound!) who can be counted on to come to the aid of his friends, he can be testy, and doesn't do well in water without a good running start.

Technology is full of feuds. We've rounded-up the 10 biggest and best battles of the industry. So read on to find out who are the biggest winners and losers in history.
Microsoft vs Google
What's so great about Microsoft?
In just 30 years, Microsoft has produced an array of successful products, notably, the Windows operating systems, that not only dominate, but in some cases define how the world does business. Microsoft has shown that it knows how to create and sell software better than any other company in history. So far.
But as businesses gradually switch to open-source and web-hosted services, Microsoft could see that dominance wither. The company's inability to win large audiences for its online products and services, plus the steady growth in popularity of Macs and Linux-based PCs, may not bode well. Microsoft sometimes seems to be its own worst enemy, too.
Many people in the target audience for Windows Vista are convinced that running Windows XP on their existing PCs is just fine for now. Desperate to sell new versions of Office every couple of years, Microsoft develops innovations like ribbon menus and XML file formats but lots of users say, "Thanks, but no thanks."
What's so great about Google?
In less than 10 years, Google has grown from an upstart search engine running out of a Silicon Valley garage into a £11.5bn information technology powerhouse.
Along the way, Google has broadened its portfolio of products and services by introducing game-changing technology to an existing market (Pagerank, Gmail) or by acquiring other promising companies and their products (Blogger and Writely). Unfortunately its march toward world dominance causes unease among privacy experts. Sound familiar?
Although its approach isn't quite the same as Microsoft's lethal 'embrace, extend, extinguish' moto, Google has certainly managed to grab significant market share in some areas, while generating revenue along the way. But can it actually beat Microsoft in its strongest suites?
Cable vs DSL
What's so great about Cable?
If you want the fastest download times at the lowest cost, cable is clearly the way to go. Many companies have put together great-looking service bundles that include cable TV service, voice over IP, and (claimed) excellent download speeds. When everything works properly, cable is simply superior to DSL.
But the issue of shared access continues to bedevil cable. When your neighbours are downloading files, too, everyone's speeds will suffer. And, if you haven't had cable before, you'll have to add lines to your house. On the other hand, you won't have to deal with the phone company, which is a huge plus in any rational system of thought.
What's so great about DSL?
Sure, in most areas, even the fastest DSL connection can't match the speed of cable. On the other hand, you don't share your DSL bandwidth with your neighbours, so you really ought to get close to the advertised download and upload speeds from your DSL service provider.
In most instances, you won't need any new wiring either because your existing phone lines can handle the job. So what's the catch? DSL speed depends heavily on the quality of your existing lines. If they are poor, your service will be poor.
And you'll have to deal with your phone company. But if you don't want to add cabling to your home, you don't insist on having the fastest download times, and you're in a loving relationship with your phone company, go for DSL.

I had a c-section with my son and for reasons beyond my control, I was unable to even try to nurse him for 3 days... I am making a very long story short-- I was never successful in breastfeeding, he simply didn't want anything to do with the breast. Thankfully, I was able to pump. Anyway, I want to do things VERY differently this time around to make sure this baby breastfeeds. My question is, how quickly are you able to try nursing after a C-section? My son wasn't with me for medical reasons, does the baby come to post op with me?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

The Cinema Eye Honors for Nonfiction Filmmaking were founded in late 2007 to recognize and honor exemplary craft and innovation in nonfiction film. Cinema Eye's mission is and has been to advocate for, recognize and promote the highest commitment to rigor and artistry in the nonfiction field. At its inception, Cinema Eye was the first US or international organization to present annual awards for documentary in the fields of production, cinematography, original score and graphic design and the only organization, aside from the guilds, to recognize outstanding direction and editing.
The Honors ceremony is the centerpiece of Cinema Eye Week, a multi-day, multi-city celebration that acknowledges the best work in nonfiction film through screenings and events. The final three days of Cinema Eye Week culminate yearly in New York City, where a series of celebratory events bring together many of the field's most accomplished filmmakers.

Sørensen's two trophies on Wednesday, combined with her two wins in 2014, tie her with Laura Poitras for most total awards in Cinema Eye history at four.
The editor Chris King also made Cinema Eye history on Wednesday, becoming the first person to win three awards in the same category. His Editing Honor for Amy joins his previous awards for Exit Through the Gift Shop and Senna.
Meru, the mountain climbing epic directed by Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, took home two awards: Audience Choice and Cinematography. The latter award was shared with Cartel Land cinematographers Matthew Heineman and Matt Porwoll, the second year in a row that there was a tie in the Cinematography category.
The rest of the evening's awards were split between many of the year's top nonfiction films. Laurie Anderson won the award for Outstanding Original Score for Heart of a Dog; Stefan Nadelman and Hisko Hulsing took home Graphic Design Honors for Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and Crystal Moselle won Outstanding Debut for The Wolfpack.
The Nonfiction Short Film Award was also a tie result, with both Hotel 22 by Elizabeth Lo and Buffalo Juggalos by Scott Cummings named as winners. This year's award for Nonfiction Film for Television went to HBO Documentary Films' Private Violence, directed by Cynthia Hill. Alexandre Nanau's Toto and His Sisters received the Spotlight Award.
Legendary filmmaker Steve James, a Cinema Eye winner in 2012 for The Interrupters, hosted the 2016 Cinema Eye Honors at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens. Radiolab hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich served as announcers and Voices of God for the proceedings. Presenters included DA Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus, Ross McElwee, Making a Murderer co-directors Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, Alex Gibney, Liz Garbus and Chris Smith, director of this year's Legacy Award winner American Movie.

Director/Producer/Cinematographer Chris Smith will accept the award on behalf of the entire team of American Movie, including producer Sarah Price and editors Jun Diaz and Barry Poltermann, at the Cinema Eye Honors Lunch, to be held on Tuesday, January 12, 2016 in Manhattan.
In addition, Cinema Eye announced today that acclaimed filmmaker and burgeoning comedian Steve James (Hoop Dreams, The Interrupters, Life Itself) will serve as host and master of ceremonies for the 2016 Cinema Eye Honors, to be held Wednesday, January 13, 2016 at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens.
"After yet another year of not being asked to host the Oscars, I'm happy to bring my talents to Cinema Eye, which, for me, is the awards show equivalent of a safety school," Mr. James said in a statement sent by telegram.
Finally, today marks the first day of voting for Cinema Eye's Audience Choice Prize, where thousands of film fans vote each year for their favorite documentary. This year's nominees includes many of 2015's most loved and talked about films, including Oscar shortlisted titles Amy, Best of Enemies, Going Clear, The Hunting Ground, Meru, What Happened Miss Simone? and Where to Invade Next. Votes are cast on the Cinema Eye website at [link].
Continuing its partnership with Cinema Eye, the Hot Docs Film Festival will host a special Cinema Eye Legacy Award screening of American Movie in Toronto during the festival's 2016 edition, featuring a conversation with Chris Smith.
"Hot Docs is thrilled to continue our partnership with Cinema Eye and our sponsorship of the Legacy Award," said Hot Docs director of programming Shane Smith. "Not only is it an exceptional film, American Movie also has a passionate fan base in Toronto, and we anticipate the screening at Hot Docs 2016 will be an unforgettable event.
This is the seventh year that Cinema Eye will present a Legacy Award, intended to honor classic films that inspire a new generation of filmmakers and embody the Cinema Eye mission: excellence in creative and artistic achievements in nonfiction films.
The Cinema Eye Honors Lunch will celebrate American Movie as well as the 24 other films recently named to the annual list of The Influentials, classic films such as previous Legacy Award winners Grey Gardens, Harlan County USA, Titicut Follies and Paris is Burning, that were cited by this year's class of documentary filmmakers as the films that inspired them. The Lunch will also recognize this year's Unforgettables, notable and significant documentary subjects from the past year's films, and the announcement of this year's winner of Cinema Eye's Heterodox Award, a prize for narrative films that blur the line between fiction and nonfiction.
Steve James is one of the most nominated filmmakers in Cinema Eye history. He was the recipient of both the Outstanding Feature Film and Outstanding Direction award in 2012 for The Interrupters, the first filmmaker to win both prizes. He was nominated for four awards last year for his Roger Ebert documentary, Life Itself. Two of his films, Hoop Dreams and Stevie, were cited by this year's filmmakers as part of the 2016 Influentials. James may or may not have taken classes at Second City.
Tickets are now on sale at cinemaeyehonors.com for the 2016 Cinema Eye Honors Award Ceremony, which includes a pre-reception hosted at the Museum of the Moving Image by HBO Documentary Films, the Premiere Sponsor of Cinema Eye Week.]]>
The five films nominated this year for the Cinema Eye Heterodox Award are:
Arabian Nights: Volume One (The Restless One) directed by Miguel Gomes
God Bless the Child directed by Robert Machoian and Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck
Tangerine directed by Sean Baker
Taxi directed by Jafar Panahi
The Tribe directed by Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy
Celebrating the increasingly blurry line between documenting real lives/situations and creative, fictional storytelling, these films show how today's fiction filmmakers are using tools from the traditional documentary toolbox to convey their visions. This marks the sixth year for the Heterodox Award at Cinema Eye. Previous winners of the award were Matt Porterfield's Putty Hill (2011), Mike Mills' Beginners (2012), Jem Cohen's Museum Hours (2013), Carlos Reygados's Post Tenebras Lux (2014) and Richard Linklater's Boyhood (2015).
With the announcement of this year's Heterodox nominees, all of this year's Cinema Eye nominated films and filmmakers have been revealed. Nonfiction film nominees were announced last week at CPH:DOX in Copenhagen.
The Heterodox prize will be presented on Tuesday, January 12th in New York City at the 2nd annual Honors Lunch during Cinema Eye Week. This year's Legacy Award, which will be announced soon, and this year's Influential Films and Unforgettable Subjects (which were announced in October) will also be saluted at the luncheon.
Ten finalists for the Heterodox Award were selected in voting by the Cinema Eye Honors Nominations Committee, made up of more than 25 international programmers who specialize in nonfiction film. The ten finalists were then viewed and five nominees were selected by a second round committee, composed of 8 nonfiction programmers and journalists. The second round included Committee Chair Scott Macaulay (Editor in Chief, Filmmaker Magazine), Hadrian Belove (Executive Director, Cinefamily), Tine Fischer (Festival Director, CPH:DOX), Eric Hynes (Associate Curator of Film, Museum of the Moving Image), Doug Jones (Executive Director, Images Cinema), Mads Mikkelsen (Programmer, CPH:DOX), Dan Nuxoll (Program Director, Rooftop Films), Rachel Rosen (Director of Programming, San Francisco Film Society) and Alison Willmore (Film Critic, Buzzfeed).]]>
Cartel Land, Matthew Heineman's gripping account of violence and vigilantes on both sides of the US-Mexico border, led all films with five nominations, including Outstanding Nonfiction Feature. It is joined in the top category by Asif Kapadia's Amy, Camilla Neilsson's Democrats, Stevan Riley's Listen to Me Marlon, Crystal Moselle's The Wolfpack and Joshua Oppenheimer's The Look of Silence. The latter, which received four nominations, and Cartel Land were the only films nominated for Outstanding Feature, Direction, Production and Cinematography.
Oppenheimer's nominations for The Look of Silence match those he received for his previous film about Indonesian war crimes, The Act of Killing, which won the top award at Cinema Eye in 2014. Oppenheimer, Look of Silence producer Signe Byrge Sørenson and Amy director Asif Kapadia join a small group of filmmakers who have been nominated twice in the Outstanding Nonfiction Feature. Kapadia's Senna was nominated for the top award in 2012.
Other films that received multiple nominations include Meru (4 nominations); Amy, Heart of a Dog, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and The Wolfpack (3 nominations); Best of Enemies, Democrats, Listen to Me Marlon, The Nightmare, Uncertain and Western (2 nominations).
Matthew Heineman had the most individual nominations, with four for Cartel Land. Going Clears's Alex Gibney, Heart of a Dog's Laurie Anderson, Meru's Jimmy Chin and The Wolfpack's Crystal Moselle each received three.
The late Albert Maysles, who died in March, received two nominations: one for Outstanding Direction for his final film In Transit (Maysles shares the nominations with his co-directors Lynn True, Nelson Walker, David Usui and Ben Wu) and one for Audience Choice for his penultimate film, Iris.
In the Outstanding Direction category, Maysles, True, Walker, Usui and Wu are joined by Cartel Land's Heineman, The Look of Silence's Oppenheimer as well as Laurie Anderson (Heart of a Dog), Kim Longinotto (Dreamcatcher) and Frederick Wiseman (In Jackson Heights). The nominations for Maysles and Wiseman mark the first time in Cinema Eye history that a previous recipient of the Cinema Eye Legacy Award was nominated for a subsequent work. Maysles was recognized for Grey Gardens in 2011, Wiseman for Titicut Follies in 2012.
Receiving historic nominations this year were Bill Ross and Turner Ross, who were nominated in the Cinematography category for their film Western. With the nod, they become the first filmmakers in Cinema Eye history to be nominated for each of their first three films. They were previously nominated for 45365 (2010) and Tchoupitoulas (2013).
Chris King, who became the first person to win back-to-back awards when he was recognized for Outstanding Editing for both Exit Through the Gift Shop (2011) and Senna (2012), is nominated again in the category this year for Amy. Syd Garon, who won the Graphics award last year for Jodorowsky's Dune, is nominated in the same category this year for The Nightmare.
There were also historic nominations for Alex Gibney, who received three nods for Directing and Producing the Scientology expose Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. As an individual, Gibney has now received six lifetime nominations, including winning for Outstanding Direction for Taxi to the Dark Side at Cinema Eye's first ceremony in 2008. All told, five different films directed by Gibney have received Cinema Eye nominations, the most of any filmmaker in Cinema Eye history: Taxi to the Dark Side (2008), Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2009), Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God (2014), We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks (2014) and Going Clear (2015).
Aaron Wickenden joined Albert Maysles in receiving two nominations for two different films. He was nominated for his editing (along with Eileen Meyer) on Best of Enemies and is nominated for the Spotlight Award (along with co-director Dan Rybicky) for his directorial debut, Almost There.
Ten films were nominated for the annual Audience Choice Prize, which often includes many of the year's most popular and talked about films, including Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon's Best of Enemies, Kirby Dick's The Hunting Ground, Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin's Meru, Brett Morgen's Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, Liz Garbus' What Happened, Miss Simone? and Michael Moore's Where to Invade Next. Morgan Neville and Michael Moore were previously nominated in this category for 20 Feet From Stardom (2014) and Sicko (2008) respectively.
Winners of the 9th Annual Cinema Eye Honors will be announced Wednesday, January 13, 2016 in New York at the Museum of the Moving Image. The Awards Ceremony is the culmination of Cinema Eye Week, an international celebration of the year's best nonfiction artistry that includes screenings, parties, seminars and the 2nd Annual Honors Lunch, where this year's Legacy Award and Heterodox prize will be presented and this year's Unforgettable subjects will be saluted.

ALMOST THERE is a coming-of-(old)-age story about 83-year-old Peter Anton, an "outsider" artist living in isolated and crippling conditions whose world changes when two filmmakers discover his work and storied past. Shot over eight years, Almost There documents Anton's first major exhibition and how the controversy it generates forces him to leave his childhood home. Each layer revealed reflects on the intersections of social norms, elder care, and artistic expression. (Camden)]]>
A once-in-a-generation talent, Amy Winehouse instantly captured the world's attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense – she wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of modern era.
Tragically, relentless media attention coupled with Amy's troubled relationships, her global success and precarious lifestyle saw her life fall apart. As a society, we celebrated her huge successes but were quick to judge her failings when it suited us. The talent that was initially her salvation eventually became the trigger for her disintegration. (Cannes)
In the summer of 1968, the ABC television network — dead last in the ratings — took a major gamble when it hired two politically opposed intellectuals, leftist writer Gore Vidal and staunch conservative William F. Buckley, Jr., to debate the issues of the day on live TV during that year's Republican and Democratic National Conventions. The result changed the course of television news and public discourse forever. The unscripted and increasingly vitriolic exchanges between the two men caused a media sensation and kept viewers at home riveted. Filmmakers Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon offer this provocative, funny and still utterly relevant account of the debates that paved the way for the future of pundit media. (AFI Docs)]]>
A towboat drifts down the Mississippi River, due for the port of New Orleans. The water, the banks, the bright lights of a port ahead; the lure of a coming paycheck and a home-cooked meal. This is the world of BARGE. A green deckhand following his father into the family business. A former convict working his way upward job by job, in the hopes of being First Mate. A thirty-eight year veteran engineer in no hurry to retire. An ancient waterway pulling a double shift as the backbone of a national economy; a tangle of thick steel cables, tied together just right. As long as the boat's moving, they're making money. An intimate portrait of the machinery of American ambitions. (SXSW)]]>

A deal on avoding the fisacl cliff is in the works. Tax rates will increase for those with incomes of $500,000. In addition the sequestor will be cancelled. Right now the only problem is spending cuts which Obama has thus far refused to clarify and put in writing. The House won't go along on a verbal promise. Good luck !
I have little faith in any politician. However, I am quite sure we are all going to feel some pain when the fiscal cliff legislation is completed.

The striker was sent off on the stroke of half-time in Saturday's 1-0 win at Hartlepool when he tangled with defender Jack Baldwin and, on the advice of an assistant, was somewhat harshly given his marching orders by referee Mark Brown.
However, upon appeal, the dismissal has been rescinded and Corr is now free to face Northampton at Roots Hall this weekend.
Corr told the club's official website: "It's great news that it has been overturned and now I'm just really looking forward to Northampton on Saturday."
Boss Phil Brown added: "It's good news for us that Barry's card has been overturned. He's an important player and it wouldn't have been ideal missing him for three games."

Great plugin, but the updates keep breaking my custom ajax loader image. I have to fix the ugly loader image with every single update. Think of the designers before you dev destructively!
Another thought, you should get together with http://www.ajaxload.info/ and include the entire library of ajax images, with all color options, inside of the plugin. That would be fantastic.

Editor's note: Cuba is in the middle of a number of economic and political changes aimed at responding to the problems it confronts. A wide debate is occurring on how to meet the country's challenges. The article below is indicative of a wide ranging debate including the nature of socialism, Cuba's relationship with the Soviet Union and its past. We invite readers to comment.
Cuban President Fidel Castro in 2005, while denouncing corruption, asked University of Havana students whether or not they thought Cuba's revolutionary process would survive. "[T]his revolution can be destroyed," he said, answering his own question, but not by outside forces. "[T]oday we are the ones who can destroy it." Cuban leaders presently are insisting that current economic changes will strengthen Cuban socialism. Yet President Raul Castro is suggesting that values and culture will ultimately determine the revolution's future.
His speech on January 1 marked the 55th anniversary of the victory of the revolution. There are attempts, he said, to "discredit national values, identity, and culture in favor of individualism, egotism, and mercantile interest above moral interest. They deceitfully busy themselves in selling to the very youngest the supposed advantages of dispensing with ideologies and social consciousness so as to induce a break between the historical leadership of the revolution and new generations, and promote uncertainty and pessimism."
Others are talking about culture. On January 10 philosophy professor Fernando Martinez Heredia devoted a long, detailed speech to the subject. First Vice President Miguel Díaz Canel did likewise, more recently. He was speaking to the 8th Congress of the Union of Cuban Writers and Artists (UNEAC).
Heredia is a July 26th Movement veteran. The title of his presentation to the Journalists' Union was "Revolution, Culture, and Marxism." He announced that, "Marxism has been almost absent in Cuba for a long time." The Soviet Union was an unsatisfactory mentor for Cuban socialism, he suggests, for two reasons. One was the "tragic end of the Bolshevik revolutionary process in the USSR in the 1930's." The "second ill-fated missed opportunity" came about, because "in regard to changes, the USSR after 1953 failed to go beyond making readjustments in its [own] system, in the arena of European relations, and in political organizations it led on a world scale."
Another development from that era impinges more directly on national culture. After 1945 "world capitalism was forced to readjust its system in important ways." One of those changes was "democratization of cultural consumption," instigated under U.S. leadership. But Cuba's 1961 literacy campaign itself "transformed ... cultural activity and communication," he asserts.
Agreeing that "the uniting of national liberation and socialism was a great revolutionary achievement," Heredia suggests that Soviet-style socialism "was unable to serve liberation purposes." And, "real socialism ought to critique the bourgeoisie's characterization of modernity." For Heredia, "economic subjugation to the USSR" led to a "profound bureaucratization of Cuba's revolutionary institutions and organizations that persisted even after the Rectification Campaign" of the late 1980's. The Soviet bloc fell and Cuba entered the Special Period, yet "no ideological struggle developed to confront the worldwide discrediting of socialism and defend Cuban socialism."
"[S]tructured thinking, a basic ingredient of Cuban socialism, was gone. Since then, a great cultural swath has existed in the country that is far removed from the Revolution." Heredia observes progressive "de-politicization" through which Cubans find "legitimacy in individual activity, the professions, and their offices and groups." He fears that a supposed "turn to normality" may lead to "conservative middle class ideology."
"This cancer," he adds, is a "close relative to another corrosive evil ... the enormous consumption of North American cultural products." This U. S. campaign is directed at "familiarization with the values, bustling about, models of conduct...the famous artists, policies, the entire life and spirit of the United States - without living there or seeking a green card."
Concluding, he calls for "a new culture different from and superior to that of capitalism." And, "[W]e must strengthen and develop the alliance between culture and a political power that stays strong and subjects itself to a participative socialist project." Culture is "a main feature of national life." He calls for formation of an "inter-generational bloc."
Speaking on April 13, First Vice President Miguel Díaz Canel was clear: "To maintain the coherence of Cuban political culture is a priority." He praised UNEAC's "ratification of the idea that culture accompanies the effort to augment productive forces." He called for "promotion of authentic values of Cuban culture among the youngest as among teachers, for the sake of enriching everyone's spiritual life." He reminded listeners that "imperialism counts mainly on dominating culture and on control of information." It uses the "entertainment industry and media machinery" to promote "cultural colonization."
The imperialists target "intellectuals and artists to separate them from all social concern and effort." Their "motion pictures and theater reflect and exalt the lowest human sentiments, the most perverse and noxious ideas, and every type of immorality." We must "defend our socialism and its perfection as the only alternative to save culture... The choice is between socialism and barbarism."
Diaz Canal urges the "artistic vanguard" to "defend our truths without shame and be unafraid of accusations of speaking for officialdom." He objects to "our publications and social networks giving space to 'personalities' who wink opportunistically at the enemy." He calls for "unity of intellectuals and revolutionary artists" so that "we never leave political culture in the hands of the market." "The unalienable principle is for political culture to be applied coherently in whatever scenario, state or non-state."
In the end, explains Heredia, "Colonization of people outlives territorial colonization, and lasts even after cessation of neo-colonial domination." Havana city historian Eusebio Leal, closing the UNEAC meeting, pointed out that "this nation has had to face, and does face, attacks and aggression. This country, like any true revolution, also has had to overcome its own deviations."

Before we discuss how torque and horsepower are related, let's review. Work is the application of force over a distance. Power is the rate at which work is accomplished within a finite time. Torque is the twisting force applied to an engine's crankshaft. Torque is always listed at specific rpms because no work or power is produced unless the engine is turning. Once an engine is turning fast enough, the force exerted against a load (like accelerating the drum on an inertia dynamometer) and speed at which its work is being accomplished can be measured.
Keep in mind the connection between torque and horsepower in this example: Two identical V-twin cruisers, with riders that weigh the same, are trying to pass a truck on the interstate. At 60 mph, both riders are in fifth gear, with their engines running at 2,500 rpm as they pull into the left lane to pass the 18-wheeler.
The first rider, Dick, believes that acceleration is caused by torque, and he knows from reviewing a dyno chart for his bike that torque increases from 2,500 rpm to 4,200 rpm. He leaves his motorcycle in fifth gear, whacks open the throttle and starts to pass the truck.
The second rider, Jane, believes that horsepower, not torque, causes acceleration, and she downshifts into third gear, and opens the throttle all the way. When Jane downshifts, her engine is turning at 4,000 rpm, 1,500 rpm faster than Dick's engine. She has looked at the same chart and knows that torque from Dick's engine will decrease when it reaches 4,200 rpm, but her engine's horsepower will increase as the engine turns faster.
When passing the truck, Dick accelerates at a constant rate as his engine torque increases. Jane accelerates at a faster rate than Dick, even though her torque is decreasing as her engine turns faster, because her engine's horsepower is increasing. Which rider passes the truck first?
Even if you don't ride a V-twin cruiser you probably know the answer -- Jane, who downshifted into third gear and watches Dick trying to catch up to her. To make the most power, an engine has to turn at a higher rpm, and Jane starts to pass the truck with her engine spinning at 4,000 rpm vs. Dick's engine that is only running at 2,500 rpm.
Horsepower is the rate, or rpm, at which work is performed, and more revolutions per minute equal more horsepower.
Almost all motorcycle reviews list hp and torque numbers. When riders bench race, these same numbers are thrown around with bravado as each owner brags about his engine modifications. Manufacturers use the numbers to sell performance, image and technology.
Because there are so many variables when performance testing a motorcycle, it is not easy to make true comparisons. The same motorcycle tested on different days, measured on different dynos with different correction factors, tire pressure and dyno operators can generate different numbers.
