In what many will find a surprising turn of events, electric car sales have plummeted this year, plunging the fledgling industry into financial turmoil. Many manufacturers and dealers are cutting back operations; some have shut down entirely. Others are calling for government action to prevent the industry from wholesale collapse.
Many dealers understandably don't want to discuss declining sales. When asked how well their cars were selling, a spokesman for Electric Vehicles, Inc, in Tampa, tersely replied "no comment", and hung up. A dealer in Texas didn't answer the phone at all. Another in California had its number disconnected.
EPower, a retailer selling electric cars in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, has only sold two cars in the past three months. President Bruce Wood tells DailyTech that, "while there are a lot of tire kickers", few will actually commit to a purchase.
MCEV, the largest electric car dealer in the Pacific Northwest, has seen sales decline to 1-2 vehicles a month, down 80% from earlier this year. Buzz Duell, General Manager of MCEV, blames not only gas prices, but the economy as a whole. "No one wants to spend money right now", he says. Not only are individual buyers cutting back, but corporate and government sales -- which make up a large percentage of MCEV's revenue -- are also being impacted.
Duell expects a recovery in sales to take at least two years.
Tim Sankey, owner of an electric car distributor in Kansas concurs. "It will take time to build a customer base", he says, "but people haven't forgotten about high gas prices". Sankey hopes for a rebound next year.
Sales declines aren't limited to the U.S. In Britain, sales of electric cars have dropped a shocking 58 percent this year. For the first ten months of 2008, a total of only 156 vehicles were sold in the country -- nearly all of those confined to London itself. The announcement came just two days after the nation's Committee on Climate Change predicted electric car sales would increase substantially this year.
Tesla Motors, maker of the all-electric Tesla Roadster, announced a round job cuts last October, and said that plans for a mass-produced high-volume electric car would be "impacted" by the grim sales outlook. Rumors suggested job cuts could be up to half the company's work force, a figure Tesla officially denied.
Larry Shriner, Chief Financial Officer of Zenn Motors, an electric car manufacturer based in Canada, says government "needs to get engaged to give the industry some momentum". Shriner doesn't necessarily favor gas price supports, but he says government needs to ensure "people stay focused" on the benefits of electric car technology.
Sales of traditional cars have also declined, but not as sharply. According to tracking company Autodata, sales are down 37 period from the same period last year.
quote: Electric car sales in freefall!SNIPMichael, Michael, I love you because of how you manage to cherry pick the few stories that support your views and have so many DT readers who are in bed with you. It is pretty stagerring the degree of support you get for posts about things like enivornmental anomalies which go against the larger trend (which almost all of your anti global-warming posts are).SNIPGlobal warming causes cooling as well as warming, along with significant shifts in rainfall which will result in floods in areas not used to them, and droughts in areas which normally receive rain.
quote: Things like warmer or colder water temperatures in the Pacific cause a shift in the weather patterns on the west coast of the USA, and this is a well established fact. Now, you can tie this into what was said about how global warming CAN(I did not say it does) cause lower temperatures in some places.Think of it this way, if a normally sunny place like San Diego were to suddenly lose that sun and be overcast 3 out of 5 days, the temperatures WILL drop. This drop in the long term would have secondary effects, which include the drop in temperatures around the affected area.The key is long term vs. short term here. What we are seeing in some areas MAY just be a momentary blip, but you need to look at things like the effect of even a two degree drop in temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, as well as what it does to the areas around it.

2011 MLB predictions comin' at ya; are you ready?
Last season the San Francisco Giants won it all, followed by parades and numerous sightings of Brian Wilson's beard in the streets.
Will the Giants repeat this season?
Well, there have been a few things that have changed, so that's debatable.
For one, Wilson's growing beard may weigh him down.
The Boston Red Sox have also reloaded, signing outfielder Carl Crawford and trading for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
The Milwaukee Brewers, looking to getting back to the top, picked up Zack Greinke. Unfortunately, Greinke fractured his left rib is slated to miss some time, possibly being back in the second half of April.
And the Philadelphia Phillies open the regular season with a starting rotation of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels and Joe Blanton.
When you have Hamels as your No. 4 starter, you know you've got a stellar starting staff.
For predictions on the 2011 MLB season and which stars are bound to break out, follow along after the (page) break.

Bringing Social Change to My District
Walden's mission of positive social change is an interesting part of the program to me. If the focus is on local change—you have define what local is for you—it's made me look at not only own classroom but what's happening in the room down the hall from me. It's made me look at what's happening in my building, in my district, in my community. I'm getting a better idea of the larger picture in our school district.
Already, I'm a member of two committees that I might not have been a member of without taking a closer look like that. In one of the committees we're evaluating—as probably every high school district in the nation is—what do you do with cell phones? Every kid's got one. Do you confiscate them when they walk in the door? Or should we be finding some way of using the interest and energy that they create in a positive way in the classroom? That may actually end up being the focus of my project study; it's at least one topic that I'm looking at.
Because of questioning that came about from my first class, I looked at that policy in a different way; now I may be going to look at it much more extensively in the future. I'm also on a committee dealing with teacher mentoring, and that's a topic that I think is very important; maybe this is something that, in the future, will be part of this. I see a lot of benefits from focusing on that positive social change.

Anja Niedringhaus/Associated Press file photo
WIMBLEDON, England � More than once during the last fortnight, Serena Williams has won an important point at Wimbledon and then returned to the baseline, her clenched fist leading the way.
The ferocity of the gesture is understandable, given the obstacles she has beaten back in the last couple of years.
A succession of health issues led to a long layoff that forced Williams to mount a career comeback, and she�ll try to cap it Saturday when she plays Agnieszka Radwanska, the first Polish player to reach a Grand Slam final since 1939.
Williams seeks her 14th major title, and she would tie her sister Venus with a fifth win at Wimbledon.
�I�m so happy to be playing,� she said. �I�ve been through so much in the past year or two years, it has been unbelievable.�
This week Radwanska has been ailing herself, battling an upper respiratory illness that makes it difficult to speak and forced her to cancel a news conference Friday.
�I will do whatever it takes to make sure I�m ready to play the best I can,� she said in a statement.
While the No. 3-ranked Radwanska seeks to become Poland�s first Grand Slam title, the No. 6-ranked Williams has a shot at her first major championship since Wimbledon in 2010. Shortly after that victory, she cut her feet on glass at a restaurant, required two operations and spent more time in the hospital because of blood clots in her lung and a gathering of blood under the skin of her stomach.
�I really thought Serena was going to die,� said her father and coach, Richard Williams. �This is the most important tournament that Serena would ever win ... because Serena didn�t think she�d ever play tennis again. She told me so.�
She was sidelined nearly a year before rejoining the tour in June 2011, and her ranking sank to 175th.
�I just wanted to make it through everything that I was going through and become a survivor,� she said.
The comeback proceeded in fits and starts. She lost in the fourth round last year at Wimbledon, and she reached the final of the U.S. Open before losing to Samantha Stosur.
She was beaten in the fourth round at this year�s Australian Open, and then came her stunning defeat in May against 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano in the first round at the French Open. It�s the only time in 48 career Grand Slam appearances that Williams lost her opening match.
With older sister Venus� fortunes in decline as she deals with an autoimmune disease, some speculated the family might never win another major title.
Now, with one more victory, Wimbledon again will become the Williams Open. Serena, Venus or both have reached the final in 11 of the last 13 tournaments. They�ve combined to win nine titles at the All England Club, and the sisters will try for their fifth Wimbledon doubles title Saturday.
While Serena�s a familiar finalist, her perspective these days is different.
�I have so much appreciation for every moment on the court,� she said. �I really take pride in playing, especially playing such big, amazing tournaments like this. I just want to do the absolute best that I can at all moments.�
After scares in the third and fourth rounds, Williams lately has been close to her absolute best. She eliminated defending champion Petra Kvitova in the quarterfinals, then defeated reigning Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka on Thursday, winning both times in straight sets.
�It�s a different Serena we see now,� said 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert, an analyst for ESPN. �We haven�t seen Serena play as well as she has these last two matches since before she hurt her foot. She has great power and movement and the confidence she needs to go with that.�
As has often been the case with Williams, her play in the tournament improved as the opposition became more formidable. She beat Zheng Jie in the third round, winning the third set 9-7, then edged wild card Yaroslava Shvedova, taking the third set 7-5.
She�s a big favorite against Radwanska.
�Serena�s playing amazing tennis at the moment,� Radwanska said. �I don�t really have much to lose, so I�m going to try my best, and we�ll see.�
Radwanska is a steady, dogged baseliner who likes grass � she was a Wimbledon junior champion in 2005. With a win in the final, she would rise for the first time to No. 1 in the rankings.
But she lacks the weapons of Williams, whose big serve is especially well-suited to Wimbledon�s speedy grass courts.
�The championship is Serena�s to win or lose,� Evert said. �She controls every point with her power.�
Williams hit a tournament-record 23 aces against Zheng, then had 24 against Azarenka. With 85 aces in the tournament, she�s four shy of the Wimbledon record she set in 2010.
During one stretch in her semifinal victory, Williams won 17 consecutive service points. No wonder she rates her serve as the shot she finds the most fun.
�It�s the most reliable, like, OK, yes, you don�t have to think, don�t have to do anything, just hit an ace,� she said with a smile. �It�s like a lazy shot.�
When she wins, Williams has taken to hopping on the grass like a grade-schooler at recess. But she�s no youngster anymore. At 30, she could become the first 30-something woman to win a major tournament since Martina Navratilova, who was 33 when she won Wimbledon in 1990.
Not that Williams feels like an old-timer.
�No,� she said. �Mentally, I�m 12.�
She feels more like a comeback kid.

on February 24, 2013 - 12:15 AM
Canisius dominated its rivalry with Vermont back in the days of the old North Atlantic Conference.
Saturday the Catamounts (18-9) defeated Canisius for only the second time in 18 tries, shooting 57.8 percent in an 87-79 victory in a BracketBusters game Saturday afternoon in Patrick Gymnasium in Burlington, Vt.
In Pittsburgh, St. Bonaventure (13-13, 6-7 Atlantic 10) watched a double-digit lead evaporate, but was able to stave off Duquesne (8-19, 1-12 A-10), 78-71, and move into the thick of the race for berths in the conference postseason tournament.
A game-high 19 points by Chris Johnson and Demitrius Conger led the Bonnies. Eric Mosley, a hot shooter lately for Bona, had 16.
Five Vermont players scored in double figures in the first meeting between the Catamounts and the Griffs since 1991.
Senior Harold Washington led Canisius (17-11) with a season-high 29 points on 9-of-16 shooting. Senior Alshwan Hymes had 15 points in 24 minutes off the bench. Junior Billy Barton had 12 points and five assists. Senior Isaac Sosa scored 11 points while junior Chris Manhertz grabbed 10 rebounds.
"We just didn't guard them and they made shots," Canisius coach Jim Baron said. "We did a poor job defensively plain and simple. We have to guard, and we have to have some guys make some plays on the defensive end of the floor. You can't let good teams like that shoot better than 55 percent from the field and think you're going to be able to win."
Canisius held a 10-8 lead after a layup from Manhertz before the Catamounts heated up from behind the arc. Vermont scored eight straight points to go up, 16-10, and drained four of its first five three-pointers in the early going. The Griffs used three-pointers from Hymes on back-to-back possessions to take a 23-22 lead with just over seven minutes left in the half. The Griffs extended that to a 10-2 run, going up by 27-24 on a jumper from Washington. Vermont scored 11 straight points and closed the half on a 14-3 run to take a 38-30 lead into the locker room.
Vermont increased its lead to as many as 15 points in the second half.
Ethan O'Day left Vermont with 22 points while Clancy Rugg and Trey Blue each had 17 points. Vermont went 27 of 31 from the free-throw line on the day and shot 66.7 percent from the floor in the second half.
Canisius returns to the Koessler Athletic Center to wrap up the regular season next week. The Golden Griffins host Saint Peter's at 7 p.m. on Thursday night.
St. Bonaventure broke away from a 59-all tie but never could get a comfortable lead against the Dukes, Marquise Simmons scored on a layup to give the Bonnies the lead for good with 6:48 to go, starting a six-point run. Duquesne, however, closed to 67-64, but could get no closer.
St. Bonaventure remained in 12th in the A-10 standings, a half-game out of the three-way tie for ninth. Only the top 12 teams in the conference standings qualify for the postseason tournament at Barclays Center in Brooklyn next month.

LAS VEGAS - Top Nevada economic development officials are defending a decision to offer incentives to a video game company under attack by the National Rifle Association.
NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre has cited Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.'s "Grand Theft Auto" game in his argument that curtailing violent video games is more important than gun control.
Last month, the Nevada Economic Development Board unanimously signed off on a plan to invest $600,000 in tax dollars toward the New York-based company's relocation of a quality assurance group to Las Vegas. The board took the action on Dec. 14, the same day a gunman killed 20 children and six adults inside Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Gov. Brian's Sandoval's economic development director, Steve Hill, told the Las Vegas Sun that the state welcomes Take-Two's move.
"We're happy that Take-Two chose Nevada and is bringing 150 really good jobs. We are happy to have them here," he said.
"It's unfair to imply a correlation between such a horrible tragedy (school shooting) without any evidence there is a correlation" with the kind of games Take-Two makes, Hill added.
"Grand Theft Auto" is a popular video game in which players steal cars - often violently. They also can participate in all manner of virtual mayhem, including clubbing to death a prostitute to avoid paying for sex.
A spokesman for Take-Two said the company is not involved in the debate over video game violence and referred queries to the industry's trade association. Calls to the Entertainment Software Association were not immediately returned.
Secretary of State Ross Miller defended his vote as member of the state board to approve money for the company, saying he doesn't believe violent video games play a role in mass shootings.
State Sen. Debbie Smith, D-Reno, said a decency test would be difficult to administer in economic development.
"I personally have concerns about violent games, having raised three children. But on the economic development side, it's a bit of a slippery slope once you start making judgments on companies based on whether or not you approve of the product," Smith told the Sun.
Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey, R-Reno, added, "I mean, please, with all of our institutionalized vices, I don't think we're in a position to make that call."
After the Connecticut school shooting, LaPierre decried violent video games and films.
"There exists in this country, sadly, a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and sows violence against its own people. Through vicious, violent video games with names like 'Bullet Storm,' 'Grand Theft Auto,' 'Mortal Combat,' and 'Splatterhouse,"' he said.

MC Hammer
Share This
There had been hit rap singles and albums before him, but
MC Hammer
was the man who truly brought rap music to a mass pop audience. Armed with a flamboyant wardrobe (particularly his trademark baggy parachute pants) and a raft of sampled hooks lifted straight from their sources,
's talents as a dancer and showman far exceeded his technique as an MC. Still, he had an ear for catchy source material, and that helped his second album,
Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em
, become the best-selling rap album of all time. Even if he was never able to duplicate that level of success, and even if his street credibility was virtually non-existent,
still broke down numerous doors for rap music in the mainstream, demonstrating that hip-hop had the potential for blockbuster success in the marketplace.
MC Hammer
was born
Stanley Kirk Burrell
in Oakland, California on March 30, 1962. A member of a strongly religious family, he landed a job as a bat/ball boy for the Oakland Athletics baseball team, where he entertained fans by dancing during breaks in the game, and earned the nickname "Hammer" for his resemblance to all-time home run leader "Hammerin'" Hank Aaron. An aspiring ballplayer himself, he failed to catch on with a professional organization following high school, and enlisted in the Navy for three years. Long a fan of funk and soul, he became interested in hip-hop upon returning to civilian life, and began performing in local clubs; with the financial help of several Athletics players, he also started his own record label, Bustin' Records, and recorded a couple of popular local singles. With ex-
Con Funk Shun
Felton Pilate
recorded an album titled
Feel My Power
in 1987. After impressing a Capitol Records executive with his already elaborate live show, he was signed to a multi-album deal, the first of which was a revamped version of
Feel My Power
Let's Get It Started
. Producing an R&B hit in "Turn This Mutha Out,"
Let's Get It Started
went double platinum.
Still, nothing could have foreshadowed the phenomenon of
Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em
, the 1990-released follow-up. Its first single, "U Can't Touch This," blatantly copped most of its hooks from
Rick James
' funk classic "Super Freak," yet
's added catch phrases (and young listeners' unfamiliarity with the original song) helped make it a smash. "U Can't Touch This" dominated radio and MTV during 1990 in a way few rap singles ever had, and won two Grammys (Best R&B Song, Best Solo Rap Performance); save for a quirk in its release format -- it was only available as a 12", which cut down on its sales -- it would easily have been the first rap single to top the Billboard pop chart. The next two singles, "Have You Seen Her" (a flat-out cover of
the Chi-Lites
' '70s soul ballad) and "Pray" (built on the keyboard hook from
's "When Doves Cry"), followed "U Can't Touch This" into the Top Ten, eventually pushing sales of
Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em
past the ten-million mark and making it the number one album of the year. Still, a backlash was growing against
's frequent borrowing (some said theft) of classic hooks for his own hits; hip-hop purists also railed about his often simplistic, repetitive lyrics (indeed, "Pray" set a new record for the number of times its title was repeated during the song, at well over 100). The charges of rank commercialism weren't lessened by the merchandising machine that soon kicked in: endorsement deals,
MC Hammer
dolls, even a Saturday morning cartoon show.
Seeking to counteract the criticism,
dropped the "MC" from his name and used more live instrumentation on his 1991 follow-up album,
Too Legit to Quit
. While it sold very well (over three million copies) and produced a sizable hit in the title track,
's stage show had become as lavish as his lifestyle; loaded with singers, dancers, and backup musicians, the supporting concert tour was too expensive for the album's sales to finance, and it was canceled partway through.
scored his last big hit with "Addams Groove," the theme to the film version of
The Addams Family
, and then paused to reconsider his approach. In 1994, he returned with
The Funky Headhunter
, a harder-edged, more aggressive record that went gold, but failed to win him a new audience among hardcore hip-hop fans. On 1995's Inside Out,
seemed unsure of whether he wanted to appeal to pop or rap audiences; the album flopped, and
was let out of his contract. In 1996,
filed for bankruptcy, his taste for luxury having gotten the better of his dwindling income; his mansion was sold at a fraction of its cost. The crisis prompted a religious reawakening, and he began to write new material with an emphasis on spirituality and family. The album
Family Affair
was slated for release on
's own Oaktown Records label, but plans were aborted at the last minute; only 1,000 copies were pressed, and were never distributed nationally, save for limited Internet downloads. Several projects were rumored to be in the works, including another album (
War Chest: Turn of the Century
) and a soundtrack to the film
Return to Glory: The Powerful Stirring of the Black Man
, but none ever appeared. Finally,
released a new album, the patriotic-themed
Active Duty
, through his own WorldHit label in late 2001.

April 07 reprint!
Wow, this is going to be hard for two reasons. On one hand I'll find it tough to rank my very favorite Stephen King movies because the ones I love ... I really love. On the other hand there's been a whole LOT of rotten King flicks churned out over the years -- and I actually like some of those, too! But as a lifelong King kook I think I'm able to separate the wheat from the chaff -- even if, yes it's true, I actually sort of enjoyed Tobe Hooper's The Mangler. (It's just so enjoyably stupid!) So with that I bring you my own personal picks for the best Stephen King adaptations yet (not counting TV shows, mini-series or short films).
Christine (1983) -- Yes, the book is better and sure, a few important things were monkeyed with on the way from page to screen, but there's so much I do like about John Carpenter's adaptation that it makes the speed bumps a lot easier to handle. From the filmmaker's creepy score to an excellent lead performance by Keith Gordon, the flick's just got an admirably bad-ass attitude. Stripped down to its essence, Christine is not much more than another "geek fights back" revenge-centric horror flick, but Carpenter makes the movie his own with a solid production design, a few excellent set pieces and a pace that moves at an appreciable clip. Plus that car is just so damn cool.
Pet Sematary (1989) -- Just about every hardcore horror geek I know holds Pet Sematary in pretty high regard, and just one visit with this bleak and unflinching piece of pulp horror will explain why. It's a remarkably grim and unapologetic tale of dead cats, cute kids and a patch of land that, well, it resurrects dead tissue is what it does. And if you've read even one "back from the dead" story, then you know they never end well. (Pet Sematary, both the book and the movie, packs one doozy of a dark denouement.) OK, so maybe Dale Midkiff and Denise Crosby aren't exactly the rock-solid thespians you'd want for a screenplay this devilishly mean-spirited, but the pair do what they can, plus they've got good ol' Fred Gwynne supplying background color by the bucketful. (And don't forget about poor sickly Zelda! Yuck.)
Carrie (1976) -- The very first (and arguably one of the very best) of the Stephen King movies, Carrie hit the screens courtesy of a young Brian De Palma, and the director pulled out a big bag of Hitchcockian tricks to bring the story to the silver screen. It's about a socially bankrupt young girl who tries to cobble together a normal social life ... much to the chagrin of some snotty she-bullies and a resoundingly devout lunatic of a mother. Some might say the flick takes a long while to get where it's going, but between the prom night finale and the graveside stinger, Carrie more than delivers its share of grisly goods. Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie make it watchable all by themselves, but De Palma is the real star here. (OK, De Palma and a young, evil John Travolta.)
Misery (1990) -- When I heard that someone was about to make a movie version of Misery, one of my very favorite King novels, I was both excited and worried. Then when I heard it was Rob Reiner who'd be at the helm, I got really, well, worried. (Nothing against Reiner, because at that point in his career he'd madesomedamngoodmovies, but this was a dark and intense novel, and I just didn't see it as Reiner material. I was wrong.) Forget about the Oscar-winning performance by Kathy Bates and the phenomenal work from leading man James Caan. Ignore the brilliant adaptation work done by screenwriter William Goldman and Reiner's cool, confident hand behind the camera. The thing I'll always remember about Misery is ... the sledgehammer. What an ice-water horrifying scene that is. And in the book it was an axe!
The Shining (1980) -- Some people opt to call it an unquestionable masterpiece simply because The Shining has Stanley Kubrick's name on it. Well, I wouldn't even put this movie among Kubrick's Top 5 -- but I do remember this flick giving me more than one bout of CNS (Childhood Nightmare Syndrome). Most of the attention is paid to Jack Nicholson's immortally over-the-top role as a hotel caretaker gone nutty, but for me (and most people) the hotel is actually the star of the film. The long and chilly hallway wanderings are, to me, even scarier than the undead twins and the elevators full of blood. Despite numerous deviations from the source material, The Shining still stands up as a true-blue butt-kicker among "haunted edifice" flicks. It's infinitely more Kubrick than it is King, but I still dig it a whole lot anyway.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994) -- There's a reason that this particular film, which grossed only $28 million in domestic box office before reaping huge profits on cable and video, has become the "word of mouth" mega-smash of my generation, and that reason is this: The Shawshank Redemption is just about as close to "perfect" as a movie can get. I'm sure you've all seen it at least three times by now, so I'll spare you the elaborate plot threads, but suffice to say that it's a movie about friendship, loyalty, prison rape and revenge. It's got great stars (Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman), a whole bunch of great character actors, a dozen scenes that are what I call "instantly re-watchable," and an ending that's guaranteed to put a walnut-sized lump in your throat. Easily one of the best King adaptations ever produced, and get this: It's not even remotely a horror movie!!
The Dead Zone (1983) -- Yeah, my #1 pick might raise a few eyebrows among the casual King fans, but to those of you who've actually seen David Cronenberg'sThe Dead Zone recently, I ask you: Is it really that strange of a pick? I think not. In my eyes it's one of the very finest King adaptations because it sticks close to the source material without being slavish about it, it's disturbing and creepy in a "smart" way, it has a really twisted subplot about a serial killer, it's got one of Michael Kamen's very best scores, it's got a truckload of great actors (Martin Sheen, Anthony Zerbe, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom!), it's sad and sweet and scary, it's got one powerfully satisfying (and cleverly ironic) finale -- AND it's got that rarest of treats: A lead performance by master entertainer Christopher Walken. The guy gives a wonderful performance, too, wonderfully free of the trademark Walkenisms that have made the actor such an irrepressible cult favorite. Damn, just writing this stuff out makes me want to go and give The Dead Zone a fresh spin. So I will.
My apologies to the following films, which I definitely like -- just not enough to include 'em among my Top 7: Creepshow (1982), Cujo (1983), Stand By Me (1986), Dolores Claiborne (1995), Apt Pupil (1998) and The Green Mile (1999). If you're looking for something best described as a worthwhile guilty pleasure, I've no problem throwing a little love towards Firestarter (1984), Cat's Eye (1985), Creepshow 2 (1987), Needful Things (1993), The Dark Half (1993), Thinner (1996), The Night Flier (1997) and Secret Window (2004). Those who are ready for a fresh infusion of King flicks need only wait a few months. On the way are movie versions of 1408, From a Buick 8, The Mist and Cell.

The gun used to unleash unimaginable carnage at a Connecticut elementary school a month ago was a Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle. It was equipped with a protruding pistol grip and a 30-round ammunition magazine, according to the Connecticut State Police.
Under Connecticut law, it was not considered an assault weapon.
The gun used to kill two firefighters in the Rochester suburb of Webster and wound two more was also a Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle. It, too, had a pistol grip and a 30-round clip, according to Webster police. A former neighbor of the shooter allegedly bought the gun for the killer – which was illegal because he was an ex-con.
That gun did not fall under New York's definition of an assault weapon, although the magazine was banned.
But that changed earlier this week when a sweeping set of gun-control laws was enacted in reaction to the shootings in Connecticut and Webster.
The new state laws redefined such rifles and other semiautomatic weapons as "assault weapons," banning them from being bought or sold in the state. The guns are not being confiscated, but owners must now register them.
Gun-rights advocates are furious over the new legislation and the use of the term "assault weapon." That's a scare tactic used by pro-gun-control politicians to push through tougher regulations, they say.
"What is that? Aren't all guns assault weapons?" asked Rus Thompson, who heads New York State's Tea Party and is organizing a "Gun Appreciation Day" rally in Niagara Square today that is expected to draw hundreds of gun-rights supporters.
So, what is an assault weapon?
Assemblyman Joseph R. Lentol, who helped negotiate and push through Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's bill, acknowledged that there's some misunderstanding in the public about what defines an assault weapon.
"It's a confusing term," the Brooklyn Democrat said.
Under the new state SAFE Act, an assault weapon is now defined as a semiautomatic rifle or pistol with a detachable magazine and one or more military-style features.
Semiautomatic means that the trigger must be pulled for each bullet to be fired. Fully automatic weapons, which allow the user to fire continuously by holding the trigger down, have been banned in New York since the 1930s.
Semiautomatic shotguns with one military-style feature also are now categorized as assault weapons in New York.
For example, with semiautomatic rifles, the banned features would include a pistol grip, a folding or telescoping scope or even a bayonet mount. The same goes for semiautomatic shotguns with a military-style feature.
Previously, such weapons were banned if they had two or more such features – a state provision that mirrored the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. New York's "assault weapons" laws remained in effect.
All assault weapons, as newly defined in Cuomo's legislation, are now illegal to buy or sell in the state. Anyone who owns such a weapon is allowed to keep it, but owners must now register anything categorized as an assault weapon with the state. They do not need to obtain a permit for them, as is required for pistols.
The new legislation also takes aim at high-capacity ammunition clips – only clips that hold seven or fewer bullets can be bought and sold in the state. Gun owners who had clips that can hold up to 10 rounds can keep them but cannot have more than seven rounds in the clip.
Under previous state and federal laws, clips that could hold more than 10 rounds had been banned from sale but were grandfathered into law. However, because there was no way to tell whether they were made or sold before 1994, the law was virtually impossible to enforce. The new legislation is aimed at closing that loophole.
The new laws also require background checks on all firearms buyers, including transactions between private parties.
Lentol said part of the confusion about the term "assault weapon" comes from people using the term interchangeably with "assault rifle."
An assault rifle is an automatic weapon or one that can switch between single fire and multiple bursts that the military would use, Lentol said.
Assault weapons have been defined since 1994 as semiautomatic weapons with the detachable magazine and two military-style features, he said.
Cuomo and the Legislature changed the definition to one feature because "they are still assault weapons whether you have one feature or two features."
Wilson Curry, an antique gun dealer who doesn't sell what he calls "black guns" but owns an AR-15, a semiautomatic rifle, said the kinds of semiautomatic weapons that are now considered assault weapons are popular among hunters and target shooters.
"They're high-end sporting rifles," he said.
He explained that AR stands for "automatic rifle," because when they were first invented, they were made for the military. But what's been made available to the general public is strictly semiautomatic, meaning the trigger must be pulled to fire each bullet.
Jim Tresmond, a Hamburg attorney who is working with a group of lawyers across the state to file a lawsuit to stop the Cuomo's new legislation, said that to him the term "is used to foster fear."
He said: "Fear is a really emotional feeling in people. It's basic, and if you can scare people half to death with language you are probably going to, let's say, influence legislation one way or another. I think it's just terrible."
Harold "Budd" Schroeder, chairman of the Shooters Committee On Political Education, took issue with how the addition of military-style features makes a semiautomatic rifle an assault weapon.
"What it breaks down to is what I call Ugly Gun Syndrome," Schroeder said. "I don't know how [putting a feature on it] makes any rifle more deadly without it on."
Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance, who handled the news conferences in the wake of the Newtown shootings, told The Buffalo News that to him, it doesn't matter what the gun that accused shooter Adam Lanza used is called or how it is categorized.
"It did a tremendous amount of damage," he said. "That's all they really need to know."

Sisters Sherry Monroe and Helen Whatley admit it: They are tennis addicts, and they sure demonstrated it at Saturday's opening day of the Family Circle Cup tennis tournament.
With qualifying matches all around, Monroe and Whatley, along with Monroe's daughter, grandson, granddaughter and grand-nephew, were gathered in front of a TV screen watching another tennis tournament, the Sony Open in Miami, cheering Serena Williams to victory over Maria Sharapova.
"Right after this, we expect them to pack their gear and come to Charleston," said Monroe, in anticipation of watching many of the top players, including Williams, this week.
Before and after that match, the family immersed themselves in all things tennis, which included an array of tennis-related activities.
The highlight for granddaughter Jada Brown, who plays in the city of Charleston's "Courting Kids" tennis program and last year won the Arthur Ashe essay contest, was getting a tennis ball autographed by 24-year-old Vania King.
While Monroe and Whatley have long purchased a championship package to watch matches on finals weekend, the Saturday of qualifying weekend is all for the kids.
That's what Family Circle Cup's Bob Moran said the tournament is trying to do by increasing the number of activities for children on qualifying weekend.
"Hey, it's our next generation of fans, so we want to get them comfortable coming out to watch and play tennis," said Moran, noting that the tournament added more activities for children to make qualifying weekend family friendly.
Today at noon, for example, the tournament will host an Easter egg hunt with 4,000 eggs.
Moran said another factor played more of a role in Saturday's crowds.
"Weather drives everything, and it's nice to have it a little warmer this weekend than it's been (earlier) this week," said Moran.
Some activities on Saturday didn't involve tennis at all. Magician Chaz Misenheimer, of Richfield, N.C., was drawing crowds with his shows.
"I've been coming to Family Circle for years. It's always been a favorite of mine because people come to the tournament with a magical frame of mind, so it doesn't take much for me to take them on a little trip," said Misenheimer.
In fact, making some kids happy sometimes just involves an aspiring tennis star handing them a tennis ball or signing one.
That's what Australian Anastasia Rodionova did for brothers Brody and Chase Tonon, ages 6 and 4, respectively, of Daniel Island, as their mother enjoyed lunch nearby.
"It's the simple things that make them happy," said Lisa Tonon.
That was evident too as 2-year-old Anna Riely decorated a cookie and ate it as her grandmother Kathy Zalinski watched with a smile.
"I haven't watched any of the tennis. My husband and Anna's parents are, but grandma is doing this — what could be better?" said Zalinski. "I think (the Family Circle Cup) is wonderful because there's something for everyone, for every age group."

BOULDER � A choked-up Jon Embree suggested Monday that the only way he could have turned around the University of Colorado�s flailing football program in his two years as head coach was to take shortcuts in the classroom and on the recruiting trail.
�If you just hire the next guy and say you�ve got two years, keep your fingers crossed,� Embree said at his farewell news conference a day after being fired.
Athletic director Mike Bohn, who fired Embree less than two years after he signed him to a five-year deal, said, �Shortcuts are not going to be an answer, and we�re not going to hire a coach that expects to use shortcuts.�
What he does expect is a quick turnaround from a free-fall that saw the Buffaloes thumped by an average score of 48-17 in the Pac-12 during a 1-11 season that was the worst in the program�s 123-year history.
In some ways, Embree�s quick hook might have had a lot to do with the administration patiently sticking with his predecessor, Dan Hawkins, through five losing seasons, resulting in the proverbial bare cupboard.
Bohn bristled at that notion.
�Jon�s results were extremely revealing in a very short period of time, and the prowess of the Pac-12 conference revealed it a lot faster,� Bohn said.
Embree, who gets a $1.625 million buyout, suggested he got a raw deal, pointing out he only got 1� recruiting classes to turn around a program that had been down on its luck for several years.
Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano said he appreciated Embree�s passion for the program but said it just wasn�t working out.
�It�s performance and progress. And unfortunately, this year, we didn�t see either,� he said.
Bohn pointed to a program that was headed in the wrong direction both on and off the field, going 4-21 under Embree, with so many blowouts leading to too many empty seats, though he insisted boosters had nothing to do with this decision.
�Our boosters� resources have never been a factor in my tenure,� Bohn said. �Although the erosion of our fan base and the ticket sales certainly doesn�t help.�
Bohn said he had no preferred candidate in mind but acknowledged the school would have to pay more than Embree�s incentive-laden deal that was worth $741,000 annually plus bonuses of up to $200,000 for reaching off-the-field goals and up to $1 million for meeting on-the-field benchmarks.
Bohn said he still was forming a search committee but wanted to make a hire as soon as possible.
Embree, a star tight end for the Buffs in the 1980s, was fired Sunday night, 48 hours after a 42-35 loss to Utah left them without a home win for the first time since 1920.
In a news conference at Folsom Field that lasted more than an hour, Embree began by addressing players who had packed the Varsity Room at the Dal Ward Center and telling them to keep up the good fight without him.
�You had the highest GPA the last three semesters that this school has ever had in the football program. You stayed out of trouble. You guys represented yourselves well,� Embree said. �You set a legacy and a standard, and as I told you guys when we�re going through tough times, you�re not judged by the scoreboard at the end of the day.
�I was. But you won�t be.�
Even though he�d been stripped of his powers, Embree still was coaching his kids, using the first seven minutes of the news conference to speak directly to them.
Asked if the next coach can win in Boulder, Embree retorted, �How long does he have?�
Embree embraced dozens of his players on his way out of the room and was followed at the microphone by Bohn and DiStefano with university President Bruce Benson listening in on speaker phone while on vacation.
�Jon is a dedicated alum of the university and the Colorado Buffaloes with a passion for his students and the athletic program as a whole,� DiStefano said. �And if this decision were based on passion for CU and dedication, there�s no doubt that Jon would be coach for life.
�But it also has to be based on progress and results, which we simply did not see enough this year,� DiStefano said . �And so we looked at the performance on the field and did not see the development and the cohesion nor progressive strategy that gave us confidence in the future, and that�s why this decision was made.�
Embree said six of his coaches offered to resign in order for him to keep his job.
He said he was disappointed because had been given assurances when he was hired that he�d be given the time needed to turn around a downtrodden program. He said that support changed suddenly Saturday night in a phone call with Bohn.
�All I was told (Sunday) was the trajectory of the program wasn�t what they wanted. And my response was, �Well, what was the trajectory of the program before I was hired?�� Embree said.
Defensive end Will Pericak said the players are angry over Embree�s dismissal.
�Not a fair chance at all,� Pericak said. �Embree needed another year, absolutely.�
Most players filed out after Embree left, but kicker Will Oliver stuck around and didn�t like what he heard when Bohn spoke about the importance of a third year in turning things around, a chance he didn�t afford Embree.
�It seemed like a lot of political jabber,� Oliver said. �I don�t know what I just listened to for 30 minutes, to be completely honest. He might figure this out. I guess we�ll find out soon.�
Embree had just eight seniors on this year�s team, and in addition to a staff makeover, he was planning to switch to a spread offense and tweak his defense next year.
�We went up against some really good teams that we weren�t quite able to match up with,� Embree said. �And some of it was just physical differences. We were young. Some of it, we had injuries. But at the end of the day, there was never any quit. They fought to the last play. They did a good job of not looking at the scoreboard.�
The administration, though, sure did.

Oh Brandie – you are always so entertaining. And such a cake queen too huh? :-} Thank you for sharing another wonderful easy dessert to try from your collection. Your photos are always sooo nice! And mouth-watering too!!!
That looks amazing. I wish I could try that cake.
Looks gorgeous! LOL Love the movie My Big Fat Greek wedding. I also always remember that episode with bundt cake:-)
Super moist and love the light citrus taste!
So happy to hear you liked this one Joan. That's why I love baking with soda, it adds a bit of flavor but it makes cakes so moist too!
I made this cake yesterday and it was wonderful…
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you liked it!!
I made this cake over the weekend and it is soooooo good. My family really enjoyed it. The recipe is so simple and quick. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know!! I'm SO happy you liked it!!
I LOVE 7-UP-CAKE, but our old family recipe has a pineapple/coconut mixture for icing and I have a fairly new coconut allergy, so eating it makes me wheeze and short of breath (unless I just eat the insides, which takes the fun out of it).
The lemon/sugar mixture sounds better anyway, so I look forward to trying this (very) soon!
I made this today using Mt Dew instead of 7UP. Quite tasty! Hubby really liked it (all he drinks is Mt Dew). Thank you for a great recipe! 🙂
I love My Big Fat Greek Wedding. My kids and throw lines from the movie at each other all the time. When my sons and his wife go home I always say "why you want to leave meeeee?" too funny. I've been looking for this recipe for awhile. Thanks for posting.
"look whose back again"
Could you make this in a 9 x 13 pan? then, poke holes for the glaze?
Anonymous, I don't see why you couldn't make it in a 9×13 pan. Keep in mind, this cake is super moist, so just be careful when you slice it. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
I make almost the same cake.. I use Sun drop soda and use Lemon cake.. Everyone has me making this all the time.. Thank you giving some ideas on changing it up.. 🙂 Everyone needs to make this your friends will think you are the best baker in town.
Hi there! Do you think this recipe will work okay with lemon instant cake mix? Thanks!
You can definitely use lemon cake mix with this. 🙂
Sounds yummy! Guess you could use Sierra Mist soda too (which my husband drinks) in the recipe.
@ S.G.Robinson ~ could you share the Pineaplle/Coconut icing recipe? I love both and sounds so good!
I made this over the weekend and LOVE it! I can't wait to try more of your recipes!! I wrote a post on this and gave you all the credit as well as linked it to you for the recipe! I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I did!!
Hi Heather! Thank you so much for letting me know how it turned out for you! I'm so happy it was a success!
So do you use the amount of 7up to replace what the box cake mix is listing for water… Or do you replace the water and use 1 1/2 cups of 7up? Can't wait to try this cake!
Hi Anna! Don't go by any directions of the back of the box. Just go by my ingredients & directions here. Hope that helps and that you love it! 😀
Sounds yummy!! Can't wait to make it!!
I am so excited to try this! I have never heard of it, but it sounds absolutely delicious.
I found your recipe on Pinterest and have been wanting to try it. I made this for our Bosses Day party and it was a huge hit! Amazing! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
I used to make this cake when my family was young.
It always came out well, and we all loved it.
Brings back wonderful memories!
I made this cake with orange sunlit, and a tablespoon of grated orange zest. I made a vanilla glaze for the top. It was delightful! This ones a keeper, for sure!!
If using cake mix with "pudding in the mix" I still add the instant pudding. Correct?
I have had 7up cakes from stores but never bothered before this one. I had a taste for something with real lemon in it and the icing is just so fresh and bright. I am thinking to switch it up, I'll use vanilla pudding and use a little real vanilla bean in the cake and the icing. Have to say I LOVE your site and have made many of the recipes! Thanks so much, I can always depend on your site when I'm looking for something new/different and I KNOW it will be a hit. 🙂
Jen, your comment is so sweet! Thank you so very much! I can't tell, you how much that means to me to hear! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to let me know how much you enjoy this recipe!
What if I don't have a boont pan? 🙂 Can you make this with a regular 9*13?
I tried to make 7-up cake for the first time a month and the recipe was from scratch. I totally ruined it. It was for a friend, so i hid it and never told him about it, Lol. I would like to try your recipe tonight. Usually u add water to box cake mix but water is not listed in your recipe. Am i mixing cake according to directions on box? Or am i only putting in what's on your list, eliminating water i guess because using soda? Hope to hear from u so i can get started.
Anonymous – oops, oh no! At least you tried! I know some folks have differing opinions on boxed cake mixes but there ain't now shame in my game & there is no getting around how moist and yummy they are. You make this using my exact ingredients. Don't go by the back of the box on this one. 🙂
Thank you, thank you! This was my favorite cake growing up that my grandma would make from scratch…and I have been craving it so bad for the past 10 years or so! I keep begging my mom for the recipe but she keeps telling me it will not work at high altitude…we live at 8000ft. I'm going to try with this shortened recipe and see if it will work. Wish me luck and the cola cake looks good too.
Have you tried this with any other flavour? There isn't much I don't like, but lemon I can't stand lol
Made this for dessert tonight and it was absolutely yummy! I love lemon cake and this hit the spot, for sure. The only issue I had was with the icing. The recipe calls for 2 cups of powdered sugar and just 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice and 1Tbsp. of milk. 2 cups of the sugar is A LOT, so I'm wondering if that's a typo. Regardless, I will definitely be making this again!
Hi Sandra! I'm so glad you liked it! Nope, that isn't a typo! Powdered sugar isn't like regular sugar. Powdered sugar is mostly corn starch so it absorbs liquid very easily and becomes liquidy-y very easily by just a little amount of milk or lemon juice. So a little liquid goes a long way with powdered sugar. Hope that helps! ~Brandie
Heidi – 7 up cake is a southern tradition that is always made with lemon so I haven't tried it with another flavor but I don't see why you couldn't? But I guess if you just can't stand it you could always do vanilla?
Does anyone know how long I'd need to bake this if I used silicone? The one and only time I used a silicone bundt pan it didn't cook properly.
I am not much of a baker, but I saw the picture and it looked so good I had to try. I made it and it was so moist and tasty. My parents and my children loved it so much there wasn't any left when I came home from work the next day, so i'm making another one tonight!
I made this cake today and it was much enjoyed by my in-laws, my husband, and my kids! My hubby can be picky about sweets, but he said his grandmother used to make one that looked exactly the same so he had to try it. He loved it. Guess I will be making this one more in the future 🙂
I make this using a cherry cake mix and cherry flavored 7UP. YUM! 🙂
I just discovered your site recently and I'm a fan already. The 7 Up Cake was REALLY lemon-y, but my hubby grabbed the cook and serve lemon pudding instead of the instant, so I think that had an impact on that. Everything else I've tried has been perfect!!
This turned out so well! I used a 9 x 13 pan instead of a bundt pan (mine seems to have gone missing) and it worked out perfectly. Brilliant! 🙂
I hope it ok, I posted your link on my facebook page. First time cooking it and my house smells devine! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us!
Just made this cake for a bake sale at work…have a question though…could I do a chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and coke? Just use same idea for glaze…just curious 🙂
I made the 7 Up cake and it did not turn out very well. The cake FELL. I went by the recipe exactly. I have never had a cake to do this. What did I do wrong? HELP!!
I LOVE 7-Up cake!!! The women in my family usually add a little of the soda to the icing/glaze recipe to help give it a little lemon-lime "kick".
We use Mountain Dew with this recipe. We never use icing and this cake is gobbled up very quickly.
Could I sub oil for butter??
The picture of the cake mix shows it's 18.25oz. They aren't that big any more what should we do? I'm afraid there is to much liquid for the smaller amount of cake mix in the boxes now. Same with the coca cola cake. Thanks, Gaile
Here in the South we make a similar cake with Sun Drop. Duncan Hines Lemon Cake mix, Lemon pudding mix, 12 oz Sun Drop, 3 eggs and 3/4 cup oil.
Could you use ginger ale instead of the 7-up?
Made this today for my husband's bday. Soooo good…I added crushed pinapples to the icing(that's how my grandmother made hers) My family absolutely loved it. Thanks again for the recipe.
Thank-You for this recipe! I have been looking for this one for awhile & the ones I have tried were not as good as this one. It is oh so moist & delicious! Thanks for making me look like a "rock star"!!
do i make the pudding then add it to the cake or do i just add it to the dry box cake mix and follow box cake directions help pleases
First, thank you Brandie for your family's service to our country.
Second, I appreciate you posting this recipe because a childhood friend's late mother made this cake for us, oh, about 45 to 50 years ago. It is one of only two cakes she claimed to know how to bake. She had given me her recipe ("obviously" I started baking very young), but I didn't have, for example, the size of the pudding box, which I now have from your post.
Mrs. T. made this cake in 13x9x2-inch pan and she slathered a cream cheese and butter icing full of chopped pecans on the cake as soon as it came out of the oven. Then we would sit at her kitchen table staring at the cake with great expectation until she cut a slice for each of us. You definitely sparked some memories I cherish, and I plan to bake this cake soon.
I am grateful.
Made this cake – brought it to work and it was devoured within 30 minutes. Delicious! The frosting made the cake taste great and look beautiful.
Thank you,
Vicki D
So glad it was a winner for you and your co-workers vickid.
Had to laugh this recipe always reminds me of this woman – if you have never heard her you have to check it out on youtube. One of the funniest women around in my opinion. Talks about sending her hubby to the store for ingredients for her cake.

Graduate Spotlight: Helen Langan
Graduate Spotlight: Helen Langan
Helen Langan's path to getting her MPC at Westminster was, to say the least, a tad unusual. After earning her bachelor's degree at Westminster in 1998, she landed a job in the press office at the Clinton White House in Washington, a period she now terms, "the time of my life." She then served as a press secretary for Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders, before returning to Utah to work on some congressional campaigns, true to her "politics is in my blood" nature.
Helen's political savvy came in handy at her next post, working on strategic planning back in the president's office of her alma mater: Westminster College. She then decided to pursue a master's degree because, she explains, "I wanted to gain some theoretical knowledge to support the practical experience that I had. I also wanted to learn more about different aspects of the communications field.
Westminster's unique Master Track program stands out as one of the highlights of Helen's program. "We'd meet on Saturdays for what was basically a professional development course. Although it was non-credit, it was definitely value-added!"
Helen currently works as Senior Advisor to Salt Lake City's Mayor Ralph Becker.
It's safe to say that this wunderkind will continue to shine, wherever her future path leads.

Ex-Microsoft Exec: Sony's PlayStation Worried Gates, Convinced Him to Make Xbox

Consoles were a second option for Microsoft
Despite the success of the Xbox, that was not Microsoft Corp.'s (
) first choice plan in the gaming space,
according to
interview with a former Microsoft executive. Joachim Kempin, who was VP of Windows Sales at Microsoft for 20 years starting in 1983, says his former employer only decided to build the Xbox after a falling out with Japanese gaming giant Sony Corp. (
I. Sony Console Worried Gates
The original Xbox and its successor, the Xbox 360, had their low points (
red rings of death
, for example), but have established themselves as a popular console gaming option, selling millions of units. The gaming unit is perceived as one of Microsoft's strong performing businesses.
Perhaps predicting both the rise of the console and tablet as replacements/challengers to the traditional PC,
Bill Gates
reportedly in the 1990s sounded the alarm when Sony announced the original PlayStation. Seeing Sony jump into the market, Microsoft became determined to beat its former partner, who was turning its back on PC gaming for a non-Microsoft alternative.
Describes Mr. Kempin:
The main reason was to stop Sony. You see, Sony and Microsoft…they never had a very friendly relationship, okay? And this wasn't because Microsoft didn't want that.
Sony was always very arm's length with Microsoft. Yeah, they bought Windows for their PCs but when you really take a hard look at that, they were never Microsoft's friend... but as soon as they came out with a video console, Microsoft just looked at that and said 'well, we have to beat them, so let's do our own.
The original PlayStation launched in 1994. Then in 2000 Sony introduced the PlayStation 2, which added PC-like media player functionality and broader support for online gaming on third-party servers. A year later Microsoft countered with the Xbox.
II. Crafting a Console
The payoff of consoles -- by Sony's model, at least -- has traditionally been the licensing fees paid by game publishers. The hardware itself is often sold at-cost, or even
at a modest loss
. For that reason Microsoft had trouble convincing a PC maker to hop onboard the Xbox experiment.

Recalls Mr. Kempin, "I went out to several PC manufacturers and tried to beg them to do the Xbox thing and keep the device manufacturing out of Microsoft. The guys were smart enough not to bite, because they studied the Sony model and saw that Sony could not make money on that hardware model, ever. So they supplemented it with software royalties, and Microsoft copied that model."
As for Xbox profitability, he argues that developers have always been the winners; that Microsoft has managed to break-even, but not do much better than that. He comments, "They're just maybe a little bit above breakeven, that's all there is. This is not a big money-making machine for Microsoft."
A former Microsoft exec. claims the Xbox is not a big money-maker for the tech giant.

Microsoft is currently diving into a third-generation console, which is expected to launch this holiday season. After trumping Sony in the last generation (dubbed by some as the "seventh-generation") of consoles, there are
some trouble signs
for the upcoming Xbox 720. While the spec looks
somewhat similar to Sony
, Sony's hardware is reportedly slightly more powerful and considerably easier to develop for.
Microsoft also may alienate customers with its stance on used games; reportedly it is tying purchases to your Xbox Live account, as a means of stopping game resale (which it earns no cut from). Sony, while a long time support of strict digital rights management, has not yet announced a similar anti-resale provision.

RE: Happy Tony
No, I'm not against buying Apple devices because they are Apple, I just avoided Macs because of high price for not enough return for the buck and also weird preinstalled OS X instead of much more convenient Windows, also Mac has really lousy GPUs that are bad for gaming which also turns me off. Then I avoided iPhone just because the screen is way too tiny, Galaxy Note is so much more convenient and better for web and games (my mostly used kind of software on the phone), also I keep my music on 32GB MicroSD which is super convenient but works only with BB and Android phones hence I mostly used to buy BB7 and Android hardware in the past. With tablets right now Apple has close to the best tablet in iPad but still... I wanted SD card and I wanted widescreen tablets since I love my Walking Dead on a wide screen, this show looks lousy on 4:3 screen of iPad, and other movies too. Hence I went for Surface but then later I realized that Surface RT was a bad choice, I should have gone for Clover Trail Win8 tablet - all the advantages of Surface plus all my Windows software like MPC-HC and all sorts of nice Windows games like Plants vs Zombies, so right now I think Samsung Android phones are the best (with WP8 very close but still lacking a few important things like nice big screens) and Clover Trail Win8 tablets are the best for home tablet stuff. It's all about better screens and expandability/USB/SD support in case of tablets. If only Apple were making iPad with SD card, USB and 16:10 screen without moronic battery-devouring Cretina :(
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad
