Posted on 10/11/2007 9:22:05 AM PDT by tcrlaf
WASHINGTON- Internet giant Google has banned advertisements critical of MoveOn.org, the far-left advocacy group that caused a national uproar last month when it received preferential treatment from The New York Times for its General Betray Us message.
The ads banned by Google were placed by a firm working for Republican Sen. Susan Collins re-election campaign. Collins is seeking her third term. Earlier this week, Google told Lance Dutson, president of Maine Coast Designs, that the ads he placed for Collins had been removed and would not be allowed to resume because they violated Googles trademark policy.
Googles Web site states, Google takes allegations of trademark infringement very seriously and, as a courtesy, were happy to investigate matters raised by trademark owners. That suggests Google acted in response to a complaint by MoveOn.org.
The banned advertisements said, Susan Collins is MoveOns primary target. Learn how you can help and Help Susan Collins stand up to the MoveOn.org money machine. The ads linked to Collins campaign Web site with a headline reading MoveOn.org has made Susan Collins their #1 target.
The Collins Web site claims that MoveOn has contributed $250,000 to her likely Democratic opponent and has run nine ads against her costing nearly $1 million. The Web site also displays MoveOn.orgs controversial General Betray Us ad.

The closer we get to November 2008, the more blatant and bold the the left is going to get.
You don' need no stinkin' free speech anyway...
"The closer we get to November 2008, the more blatant and bold the the left is going to get. "
Agreed. The libs know it's not easy to get someone elected with such high negatives. But they will get the pig elected. Not necessarily legally, but elected all the same.
I loathe the little Stalinists at Google as much as anyone, but if there's a legal issue with the ad, there's a legal issue with the ad.
Besides, it's hard to get all bent out of shape about Susan Collins getting screwed over by her fellow travelers on the left.
That was my thought also.
And I fully expect all kinds of election fraud in 2008 by the dims.
I'm shocked! ...that google wants Collins to lose. She's as good as having a Dim in the house, and they may get better bang for the buck supporting a dim in another race.
Thanks for the tip. I just changed my default search engine to dogpile
She will never be POTUS.
It's just an indication of what crazed loons inhabit moveon. If even the "moderate" Sen Collins is too conservative for them then they are the truest examples of extremism in America, not any conservative group. Collins is even against banning partial birth abortion. I guess the only way to satisfy the far left is to make late term abortion mandatory. I wouldn't put it past them to propose it either.
"I loathe the little Stalinists at Google as much as anyone, but if theres a legal issue with the ad, theres a legal issue with the ad."
When the 'legal issue' is that a political entity is invoking a trademark on its name so it can't be criticized, that is a First Amendment violation of the highest order.
Where's the ACLU when you need them? /sarc
We could use an equivalent organization that'd be a civil rights watchdog regardless of the political bent of the issue.
Then we'll have a Republican President, because Hitlery will be the Dim nominee.
I'm done with Google, I just changed my start page to Dogpile.
OK I'M with you. Now, what is a start page and how do I change it without messing myself up?
I thought the use of the "Betray-Us" ad featuring their logo was the trademark violation. If it's just the use of the name at issue, then of course it's insane.
Personally I don't think we need to use MoveOutAndSurrender.Org's real name to post an ad. All Susan Collins needs to do is run parodies of the name the same way MoveOutAndSurrender.Org did with General Petraeus. Everyone knows that Google is a communist organization and using a parody of MoveOutAndSurrender.Org's copy righted name is more than enough to enlighten the voters. We all know who they are and that those they support are just like them.
"She will never be POTUS."
I strongly disagree. I'd vote for almost anyone over the beast, but I think there's a lot going on in her favor.
The Clinton machine of contacts, and deals, (legal and otherwise).
The MSM will be totally complicit, as it has been. Hillary! will never be cast in a bad light. In fact, there will be lots of pressure to vote for her or you will be seen as a sexist.
I'm not a big conspiracy guy, but I do remember GWB's "Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton" and did read about GWB advising the beast.
The GOP doesn't have a strong candidate with general appeal. At least not yet.
Libs are stupid. I've heard lots of them say they're voting for Hillary! and getting Bill.
I'm going to shift my investments to stable / guaranteed interest type funds in August '08, that's how sure I am she's going to be elected.
I think MoveOn's argument is you can't identify MoveOn.org as MoveOn.org w/o violating MoveOn's trademark. So, if you don't want people talking about WhistlingPastTheGraveyard just trademark your name and then people can't even reply to your post w/o violating WhistlingPastTheGraveyard's trademark.
Seems kind of specious to me. How many libs make money on Rush Limbaugh's name?
Here someone is being targeted by MoveOn.org Stalinists and they can't say so w/o violating Stalinist MoveOn.org's trademark? How can that be?
"Im going to shift my investments to stable / guaranteed interest type funds in August 08, thats how sure I am shes going to be elected."
In what currency, the U.S. dollar? That would not be intellectually consistent.
"In what currency, the U.S. dollar? That would not be intellectually consistent."
I'm not a big time trader, but it's my understanding that when the market tanks, bond funds do well?
Thanks for the information.
We all know that Google is unfair and unbalanced.
I wonder how they will feel if Dictator Hillary gets elected and takes over Google for the state? They should really think about this. Big bad corporate boys that they think they are? LOL
They like others who support this untalented woman should really look at why they are supporting her. Her reasons for their support may be completely different from theirs.
I clearly believe the Clintons are vindictive. They are about revenge. It drives the hatred they feel for themselves and others. I hope these guys will really sit down and think about this because they may have real causes. I have yet to see the Clintons do one thing that doesn't have a ring of profit or congrats for them personally.
If she is elected, we will be watching dreams go up in smoke, that is, the gurus of health, global warming, save the whales, etc. Heck, all of the groups have already become nothing but mere laundering money agents to politics.
I mean, when have you heard "Save the Whales" lately?
If I were them, I would sure think long and hard before I put my support with someone so shallow.
They should also know that their wealth will not protect them. Wealth can be taken away in a number of ways. Just let Hillary win and find out.
Some "legal issues" are more equal than others...
many of the searches dogpile returns come from google...
dogpile appears to use google
How's altavista?
I think you're believing to much into agendized polls and the hype...
I've heard a number of die hard libs...including family members remark they'll not vote for Hillary...and sit out the election if she's the nominee...
Again, she won't be POTUS...
"Again, she wont be POTUS..."
I hope you're right.
Me too. I completely see your point. However, I am being an optimist.
If she's the nominee she'll unite the fractured Republican Party, and she'll alienate many in the Democratic Party.
She might take the states of NY, Vermont, and CA in the general election, but she loses every other state...and the DNC knows it...
Again, she wont be POTUS...
Legally you mean. But this is Hillary!!!
Just seeing Google pisses me off because I was STUPID and did not buy their stock....Ugh! Now it is over 600 dollars a share!!!
Same here. Moveon.org is hardly innocent of saying indecent, preposterous and untrue things about the people who don't share their beliefs. They are giving money to Collins' opponent on top if it so the opponent can lie.
Moveon.org is demanding the right to enter into the political arena and at the same time be exempt from criticism.
That Google.com is siding with them shouldn't be surprising. We'll need to put them on the list of companies to be run out of business once we get back in power ~ and just maybe we can imprison some of them faster than they can die like they did at Enron.
You're right, I had misunderstood the excuse Google was giving. I thought the complaint was over the specific use of the "Betray-Us" ad. I was wrong. It's just the Google dorks being the fascist eggheads that they are.
Hate to break it to you, but a Dogpile Search is the same thing as a Google Search.
Dogpile uses Google as one of its search engines.
Political Free Speech was the reason for the First Amendments Guarantee..
Her ads are political and therefore should enjoy the Highest Protections.
Allowing Trademark Law to override Political Free Speech is a deliberate misreading of the first Amendment Protections.
"...the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the notion that there is anything like a cause of action under the Lanham Act, the statue governing trademark law in the United States, for so-called trademark disparagement."
I have absolutely no problem with Google rejecting the ad as they legally can. The problem is that they don't have a pair big enough to say why. To hide behind a fictitious legal claim is weak. I believe they are afraid to tell the world what they really believe.
I've had luck recently with A9, which is Amazon's search engine. Nice interface, not too much junk.
Living in the People's Republic of Maine and having to put up with the embarrassment known as Susan Collins and despising the commies who run Google is not good for the blood pressure.
Even the 9th Circus says it's not a trademark infringement.
The article also points out the hypocrisy of MoveOn.org, as they name drop corporations all the time. Someone needs to fight fire with fire.
AlGore is a Google board member.
Here are some good search alternatives to Google. These will all go in FireFox search bar. Probably IE too, but I dont use IE.
http://www.altavista.com/ they have image, video, MP3 Audio and news searches too.
If Google does not like our politics and values lets go elsewhere.
boycott Google.
"I thought the use of the "Betray-Us" ad featuring their logo was the trademark violation. If it's just the use of the name at issue, then of course it's insane."
Even if the ad were used, it is 'fair use'. Political discourse can't be supressed over brand identity.
Trademarks were established so businesses could protect themselves from similar sounding (or identical) copycats. That is a far cry from the issue here.
Dogpile has been mine for years...google = leftist traitors
I thought they had a reasonable out, given the cost of fighting in court against a political ally. Legal issues come up when someone threatens litigation — frivolous or otherwise — which they seem to be implying.
But... I was wrong. A lot of people don't find it reasonable and the story's getting traction. I hate Google anyway, so I'm fine with that.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman To Head Obama's New Mortgage Agency
Last night's presidential address was all about the state of our great nation, but New Yorkers got a nod with the announcement that our very own attorney general will head a new task force charged with investigating abusive lending and risky mortgages. You know, all that fun stuff that led to the housing crisis and destroyed our economy...
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman will chair the new unit, which Barack Obama discussed in his speech last night, saying the group will target Wall Street and the big, bad banks and mortgage lenders that messed everything up for the rest of us.
"This new unit will hold accountable those who broke the law, speed assistance to homeowners, and help turn the page on an era of recklessness that hurt so many Americans," he said.
A task that big requires a New Yorker like Schneiderman, who was formerly a state senator representing the Upper West Side before he became the state's top law enforcement officer.

The Huffington Post first broke the news yesterday, reporting that the unit will operate as part of the president's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force.
It's a big move for progressives and for Schneiderman who, as HuffPo noted, was a critic of the proposed settlement between the 50 state attorney generals and the five largest banks. Schneiderman attended the speech last night.
The AG last night tweeted some words of thanks to the president, saying, "Would like to thank @whitehouse @TheJusticeDept for creating a joint investigation to bring justice for victims of the mortgage crisis." Shortly after that, he tweeted, "America deserves a robust & comprehensive investigation into the financial meltdown to ensure justice and accountability" and "We will continue our steadfast commitment to hold those responsible for the economic crisis accountable/bring justice for homeowners."
After Obama announced this, some emails and tweets popped up on Runnin' Scared's radar, a lot of them cheering on Schneiderman.
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who plans to run for mayor, sent out a response statement to the speech focused on the news of our attorney general's new hat.
"Tonight, predatory lenders and other bad actors were put on notice when New York's own Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was appointed by President Barack Obama to head a new special unit tasked to investigate misconduct and illegal behavior that led to the ongoing mortgage crisis facing our country,"he said.
"Eric's deeply held values and unabashed dedication to giving people a voice and the strength to stand up to powerful interests are what set him apart. Struggling homeowners can find peace of mind knowing Eric Schneiderman is on the case and fighting for them," he said.
City Councilman Jumaane Williams, who has been a big Occupy Wall Street supporter, also tweeted some kind words for Schneiderman, saying, #Congrats to @AGSchneiderman, who @BarackObama announced in the #StateoftheUnion as chair of the new #MortgageCrisis Unit. #Greatchoice!
In his speech, Obama also said that the Financial Crimes Unit would be staffed by "highly trained investigators to crack down on large-scale fraud and protect people's investments."
Which inspired this tweet that grabbed our attention, from filmaker Michael Moore: ""We are starting a financial crimes unit." Occupy Wall Street, take a bow. #ows".

From Tokyo to Mumbai
TonyPearson 120000HQFF Tags:  secondlife 3,913 Views
Thirteen months ago, fellow IBM blogger Bob Sutor suggested the potential for avatars to [move from one virtual world to another].I thought this was far, far in the future myself, but this week, IBM and Linden Labs, the makersof Second Life, successfully teleported an avatar from SecondLife over to OpenSim. Here is the[Press Release].
Linden Labs has this [FAQ] for the interoperability announcement. The [Wall Street Journal] and [Financial Times] discuss the significance and importance of this major development.
If you are thinking there is no business value here, consider that Cisco has this incredible [11-minute demonstration video] that haspresenters in one city on the stage at another city.
Well, my job is done here in Tokyo, and my team is off next to Mumbai, India. This of course will takethe bulk of tomorrow in airplanes and airports, and not be as easy as teleporting in the metaverse!

Alan Lepofsky joining SocialText
TonyPearson 120000HQFF Tags:  secondlife 3,719 Views
I was surprised to learn today that [Alan Lepofsky will be joining SocialText] as their Director of Marketing. Last January, IBM and SocialText [announced a partnership] between their Wiki product and IBM Lotus Connections.
Alan was a leader in blogging about IBM Lotus technologies and was very helpfulto me over the past few years in deploying new Lotus technologies at the IBM TucsonExecutive Briefing Center. The Lotus team taught me how to use Second Life, using theLotusSphere 2007 build to demonstrate the various possibilities that we used to run IBM System Storage events last year.
Alan, I wish you the best of luck on your exciting new position!

Well, the weather here has turned awful, so I better turn off my computer to avoid lightning-strike damage.
For those looking for something to do to enjoy the "4th of July" US Independence day holiday tomorrow, thereis the [Team America: Sing-a-long at Tucson's Loft Cinemaat 6pm, you can still see the fireworks after the show is over. I did this last year and it was a lot of fun.
Also, you can check out the IBM Wimbledon build on Second Life. Here's the SLURL:[http://slurl.com/secondlife/IBM%207/133/180/23].Several IBMers will be "in world" at this virtual location on 4th of July. For all of my readers looking to check out Second Life, see what IBM can do, or talk to people who are familiar with this technology, here's your chance.
As for me, I'll be spending my "long weekend" in an airplane. Here's my travel schedule.
(I was hoping that while I was in Asia, I could stop over and visit the schools I helped in Nepal and my friends at the Open Learning Exchange [OLE Nepal] as part of the One Laptop PerChild [OLPC Nepal] program, but I did not get all my ducks lined up for this with the appropriate travel approvals, visas and logistics. My apologies to Bryan, Sulochan and the rest of the team. Perhaps next year!)
Enjoy your weekend!

It seems like I just get out of one conference, and into another. This week I am at Pulse 2008, which combines the best of IBM Tivoli and Maximo into one conference.Like many conferences, this one starts on Sunday, and ends on Thursday.
We're at the Swan and Dolphin hotels at [Walt Disney World] in Orlando, Florida. I've been to several conferences in Orlando, but this is my first time at the Swanand Dolphin. (When I walked into the main lobby, I had a bout of "deja vu". IBM LotusSphere was here last year, and they had a complete replica made in SecondLife!)
If you haven't been to Walt Disney World resorts, whether for a conference or vacation,there are two things you need to know:

The Data Center Goes 3D
TonyPearson 120000HQFF Tags:  green infrastructure secondlife 1 Comment 5,073 Views
It's been a while since I've talked about [Second Life].
The latest post on eightbar[Spimes, Motes and Data centers]discusses IBM's use of virtual world technology to analyze data centers in three dimensions.New World Note asks[What's The Point Of 3D Data Centers?]One would think that a simple monitoring tool based on a two-dimensional floor plan would be enough to evaluate a data center.
Enter Michael Osias, IBM (a.k.a Illuminous Beltran in Second Life). Some of the leading news sites havebegun to notice some 3D data centers that he has helped pioneer. UgoTrade writes up an article aboutMichael and the media attention in [The Wizard of IBM's 3DData Centers].
Of course, in presenting these "Real Life/Second Life" (RL/SL) interactive technologies, IBM is sometimes the target of ridicule. Why? Because IBM is 10 years ahead of everyone else. So, are there aspects of a data center where 3D interfaces makes sense? I think there is.
IBM's "New Enterprise Data Center" vision recognizes that people will need to focus on the management aspectsof their IT infrastructure, and 3D virtual world technologies might be an effective way to getthe job done.

Five in Five for 2008

IBM came out with their latest "5 in 5". These are five predictions for technologies that will havean impact over the next five years, summarized on 5 pages. Before I give my take on this year's set,here is a quick recap of[Last Year's 5 in 5]:
Here's my take on the [Next 5 in 5]:
The common theme running through these is that it can be helpful to store more information than we do today,provided we make it accessible to the people who need it to make better decisions.

What if storage were free?
TonyPearson 120000HQFF Tags:  disk secondlife infrastructure lifecycle 3,953 Views
Some upcoming books have caught my attention.
Last year, I covered Chris Anderson's book [The Long Tail]. This year, Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired.com, has an upcoming book titled Free, the past and future of a radical price. Chris talked about his book here at Nokia World 2007 conference, and the [46-minute video] is worth watching.He asks the big question "What if certain resources were free?" This could be electricity, bandwidth, or storage capacity. He explores how this changes the world, and createsopportunities for new business models. However, many people are stuck in a "scarcity" modeland treat nearly-free resources as expensive, and find themselves doing traditional things thatdon't work anymore. Chris mentions [Second Life] as aneconomy where many resources are free, and seeing how people respond to that.Rather than focusing on making money, new businesses are focused on gainingattention and building their reputation. Here are some example business models:
Nick Carr writes a post [Dominating the Cloud], indicatingthat IBM, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Amazon are the five computing giants to watch, as they are more efficient atconverting electricity into computing than anyone else. Last month, I mentioned IBM and Google partnership on cloud computing in my post[Innovationthat matters: cell phones and cloud computing].Nick's upcoming book titled[The Big Switch] looks into "Utility Computing",comparing the change of companies generating their own electricity to using an electric grid, to the recent developments of cloud computing and software as a service (SaaS). Amazon's latest "SimpleDB" online databaseis cited as an example.
Last, but not least, Seth Godin writes in his post [Meatballs and Permeability] about the bits-vs-atoms issue, what Chris Anderson above refers to as the new digital economy. The idea here is that value carried electronically as bits (digital documents, for example) have completely different economics than value carried as atoms (physical objects), andrequires new marketing techniques. Methods from traditional marketing will not be effective in this new age.Here is a [review] of Seth's new book Meatball Sundae: Is Your Marketing Out of Sync?
All three of these books seem to be covering the same phenomenon, just from different viewpoints. I lookforward to reading them.

My Blook Is Now Available!
TonyPearson 120000HQFF Tags:  announcements lifecycle disk blook infrastructure bc secondlife green san tape 5 Comments 13,989 Views
It's official! My "blook" Inside System Storage - Volume I is now available.
You can choose between hardcover (with dust jacket) or paperback versions:
This is not the first time I've been published. I have authored articles for storage industry magazines, written large sections of IBM publications and manuals, submitted presentations and whitepapers to conference proceedings, and even had a short story published with illustrations by the famous cartoon writer[Ted Rall].
But I can say this is my first blook, and as far as I can tell, the first blook from IBM's many bloggers on DeveloperWorks, and the first blook about the IT storage industry.I got the idea when I saw [Lulu Publishing] run a "blook" contest. The Lulu Blooker Prize is the world's first literary prize devoted to "blooks"--books based on blogs or other websites, including webcomics. The [Lulu Blooker Blog] lists past year winners. Lulu is one of the new innovative "print-on-demand" publishers. Rather than printing hundredsor thousands of books in advance, as other publishers require, Lulu doesn't print them until you order them.
I considered cute titles like A Year of Living Dangerously, orAn Engineer in Marketing La-La land, or Around the World in 165 Posts, but settled on a title that matched closely the name of the blog.
In addition to my blog posts, I provide additional insights and behind-the-scenes commentary. If you go to the Luluwebsite above, you can preview an entire chapter in its entirety before purchase. I have added a hefty 56-page Glossary of Acronyms and Terms (GOAT) with over 900 storage-related terms defined, which also doubles as an index back to the post (or posts) that use or further explain each term.
So who might be interested in this blook?
And yes, according to Lulu, if you order soon, you can have it by December 25.

You're sitting in an interview, and the hiring manager is about to wrap everything up. Just when you think you're free to leave, the hiring manager asks, "Do you have any questions for me?" You're speechless. In an effort to think on your feet, you blurt out, "How much does this position pay?" Immediately, you realize this probably wasn't the best question to ask once you see the expression on the hiring manager's face. Job seekers make two mistakes during the interview process: They don't have questions prepared for the interviewer, and they ask the wrong questions.
Asking the wrong question during an interview can definitely cost you a job offer. By avoiding these questions and doing your research, you'll be better prepared with thoughtful questions to ask at the conclusion of a job interview.
As you prepare for your next job interview, here are 10 of the worst questions, identified by Heather Huhman, writing for Glassdoor.com, that you should avoid asking a hiring manager.

Golden State started this game off shooting from the peremeter at a high 54% as if they were going to score a 100 points in this game. When they had the Knicks down by 10 points in the middle of the second quarter with the Knicks struggling to match basket for basket, I knew the Knicks had to come up with a new plan which PG-Nate Robinson did by bringing the Golden State defense toward him. Nate gets the MVP of this game. Golden State Bailey & Powell did a great job defensively on Randolph Morris however, in the 2nd half of the game Morris defense was outstanding on both Bailey & Powell.

KACV's latest documentary gets viewers so close to the rodeo action that you'll feel like you need to wipe mud (or whatever) out of your face.
"Braggin' Rights: The Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo" (8 p.m., cable channel 3) takes viewers right to the heart of one of the area's most popular rodeos, which pits teams of working cowboys from the Panhandle's historic ranches against each other for a trophy and, you guessed it, bragging rights.
The documentary follows the action at the June rodeo, focusing primarily on the LX, the High Card and the Frying Pan ranches.
The hour-long documentary is at its best when it lets the cowboys and ranch owners talk: Though cowboys are generally thought to be a taciturn lot, once you wind one up, the stories can roll out like a tumbleweed across the prairie. And these guys and gals, a veritable who's who of Amarillo-area ranch folk, include some rich personalities.
By necessity, the two-day rodeo has to be condensed mightily, but the editing doesn't always do favors for the action, leaving the documentary sometimes struggling to show just how exciting the competition can be.
But overall, viewers will get a detailed look at a beloved area tradition, as well as historical insights to some of the region's pioneer families -- all in a fun package.
Elsewhere, two of USA's most popular shows reach their summer finales to mixed results.
First up, "Burn Notice" (8 p.m., cable channel 25), which resolves the question of who shot Michael's (Jeffery Donovan) brother by adding in yet another mysterious, nigh-omnipresent bad guy. The final moments are fairly exciting, but we've gone way beyond the point of diminishing returns here.
Much more rewarding is "Suits" (9 p.m., cable channel 25), which wraps up its season-long office warfare plot in part by very quickly resolving last week's cliffhanger and putting Hardman (David Constabile) on top. The question then becomes, what can Harvey (Gabriel Macht), Jessica (Gina Torres) and Mike (Patrick J. Adams) do about it? It's a fun, exciting episode with only a couple of drawbacks, mostly dealing with Mike's romantic life.
Also on:
- GSN debuts its new game show, the Jeff Foxworthy-hosted "American Bible Challenge" (7 p.m., cable channel 333).
- Lifetime's "Project Runway" (8 p.m., cable channel 29) is never more awkward than when real women come in as the contestants' clients, so watch out for fireworks tonight, especially with this year's crop of drama queens.
- The judges, including Amarillo native John Rich, head to Baltimore to mentor four more contestants on The CW's "The Next" (8 p.m., cable channel 11).
- FX's "Anger Management" (8:30 p.m., cable channel 43) wraps up its first season. If the network's happy with the show's ratings, though, the series will get a 90-episode pickup, so this may not be the last we've seen of Charlie Sheen. Yay.
- Jenna (Fiona Gubelmann) returns, and Wilfred (Jason Gann) and Ryan (Elijah Wood) are determined to help her career on FX's "Wilfred" (9 p.m., cable channel 43).
- Louie (Louis C.K.) goes looking for a lost love on FX's "Louie" (9:30 p.m., cable channel 43).
- A wayward text message complicates Jenna's (Ashley Rickard) love life even further on MTV's "Awkward" (9:30 p.m., cable channel 64).
So, what are you watching?

This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-X79-UD5 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: It's pretty, it has lots of wonderful ports. It takes my CPU.
Cons: I load this up with 64GB of DDR3 1600 from day one, and it has some stability issues. I'm using non aggressive, normal, even 'stable' settings in their later BIOS.
If they could fix the wake from sleep issues I have, that'd be a plus.
If I put it in sleep, i quite often have an issue where the bios corrupts and will infinite loop, no bios screen. I have to power off and it tells me it's reloading bios from the backup. This is distressing and sometimes a daily occurrence.
I'd like Gigabyte to contact me if possible. Thanks.
Other Thoughts: I'm street smart AND book smart. I have my degree in Maryland from UMBC in CIS Systems Analysis/Design and a concentration in Networking, a respectable 3.44 avg, sadly non IT classes had to be taken.
I've done PC builds for 20 years, and THIS is the main stickler, Thankfully i've been lucky it's never been for a customer like this.
This is probably the first motherboard i've really hated.

This review is from: Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB Portable External Hard Drive with 200GB of Cloud Storage & Mobile Device Backup USB 3.0 - STDR2000100 (Black)
Pros: This is a 9mm tall drive. The internal drive is the M9T.
I use these to upgrade PS4's hard drives.
As of the 1.71 firmware update from SONY for the PS4 it's been working perfectly.
Earlier than that their firmware did not support the drive for some reason.
It also works great in compatible notebooks as well, I will probably make it the third drive in my Dell Precision 6600 soon.
Cons: I can only get the external drive from Newegg and not the internal only.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Hyperkin RetroN 5 Gaming Console - (Black)
Pros: Excellent video output. The ability to toggle Scanline generation is great, most games look best with them on and it helps the scaling effects look better IMHO. The included controller is rounder than it looks and though there is little travel in the buttons THEY ARE MICROSWITCH. So, they are quality buttons. The control stick reminds me of the Neo Geo CD or the old Atari 7800 redux controller Atari released towards it's end. This is ALSO microswitch. It's better than it looks for shooters.
Controller ports work great, assigning controllers default maps is awesome, too much great things here to name, all working great.
Cons: The carts are a bit tough to pull out in the beginning. They go in fine, i recommend pulling out slow and steady without placing any back and forth force on it, you probably will break something that way, your fault. Does not have standard USB port to hook in pc devices or a pc cd/dvd rom to play SEGA CD games, that would have been a nice option.
Other Thoughts: I like this thing, i like it ALOT.
It brings all of your old home games up to the video quality of an arcade machine. If you have a large LCD/Plasma then it looks like an arcade display now!!!
No video lag, no issues i've seen and i'm a discerning jerk most of the time to behonest. I spend weeks calibrating my new TV's to the right white level and to my liking, pretty much a perfectionist jerk sometimes , i'll openly admit it.,
This box is mostly all I could ask for.

On helping the offense with the kicking game -
We played a complete game today. We haven't had a complete game all year. We've done well on offense and defense, but we haven't put it all together. We finally did today and it was awesome.
On the 54-yard FG -
As soon as it left my foot, I was like, 'Wow, that felt good.' I looked and it was good by like 10 yards. It was a great kick and a career long for me. I'm just trying to help out the team as much as I could and it's just awesome.
Was it a high snap?
Yeah, it might have been a little inside. I had to wait a little bit, but I just uncorked it with my hips, and let it go. And when you have confidence, you usually make it every time.
What's been the difference in your consistency from last year to this year?
Just knowing that every time I step onto the field, I know I can kick a field goal anytime I want and I can make it. Confidence-wise, just having that confidence that you will make it every time.
How much have you been hearing from fans this week that you need to beat N.C. State?
You know it's the biggest game of the year; you always have bragging rights for a year. We've beat them every time I've been here. It's the greatest feeling in the world to come out there and just put everything together for the seniors and for Coach Bunting and the coaching staff.
On the rivalry with NC State -
This rivalry goes back a long time and it's real easy: they don't like us and we don't like them. You just don't lose to those guys in rivalries. That's basically what it is and you can take it for what it's worth. But you can throw everything aside when you go out there and play State. I don't care what the records are, what the weather is, you can throw it all to the side. You go out there and play to the last whistle.
On the end of the game emotions -
I had a bunch of mixed emotions you know. Carolina has been so good to me and I'm trying to hold my tears back, but Carolina has just been extremely good to me. They gave me a chance to do something I love and I just wish my grandmother could be here to see this game. I'm just happy for everybody, just really happy for everybody at this point in time.
Are those tears of happiness?
It's everything man. You just take your time and look back to July '03 when I walked on this campus. And you never understand that until it happens that this enjoyment you get every Saturday will be over soon. I've had the opportunity to do a lot of things that most people couldn't do and when you look back on it now and you say this is the last time I'll be able to do this on this type of stage, it leaves you emotional. I'm just happy for everything that Carolina has done for me, and I hope I've left my mark here at Carolina.
On getting interceptions today -
They had good pressure on the quarterback, we had great coverage, and we just forced them to throw bad throws and that's what they did. When he threw a bad throw, we just came up with the ball.
Can you describe the locker room after the game?
You know guys were excited. We've just been waiting for that all year. We know we can play; we can play with anybody. We just had to come out and show everybody we can play.
On getting a win for Coach John Bunting -
It was good. We wanted this win, plus it was State, so you know how it goes, bragging rights. We just went out there and played our normal game.
On Bunting's reaction after the game -
You know he was having fun, he was a Carolina graduate and is an alumni. I mean he hates State, the State rivalry, and he just wanted this game.
On his last interception -
You know I had a little streak here. I've been starting here a couple years and never had an interception for a touchdown. But once I got it, I told the boys if I ever get an interception and I'm on my feet, I'm going to try and take it to the house. I said we'd have a party out there. The guys were throwing great blocks, but I got tired, I'm not going to lie to you. I couldn't keep my feet.

Two weeks ago, we added Globalstar (NASDAQ:GSAT) to our Poised To Triple Speculative Portfolio via an initiation piece we released on Seeking Alpha. Our selection came on the heels of reports that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) had tested GSAT's satellite-based network. According to Bloomberg, Amazon is seeking to create "a more comprehensive user experience, encompassing how consumers get online, what device they use to connect to the Web and what they do on the Internet."
Since that time, the company announced a milestone decision made by the FCC, which sent the stock soaring 28% on Monday. This article will provide an update on what the announcement was and why the stock's reaction is just the beginning for our "poised to triple" pick.
Starting with the original Amazon news, many investors asked us why Amazon would test a satellite-based network. From our purview, the answer was simple - Amazon, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) are in a race to rule the world of digital commerce. The latest mobile operating systems are being designed to run on virtually any electronic device. In other words, these tech heavyweights want to gain as much market share control over consumers' activities as humanly possible. Because of this, a broad array of consumer devices will be required to win the market share battle.
Of course, Amazon has confirmed this by virtue of its involvement in the tablet market (via the Kindle Fire). It is also widely known that they are developing a line of smartphones. For those familiar with Google's Project Loon, it becomes pretty clear why AMZN would like to provide its own orbit-based network services. Make no mistake, these companies are matching one another, move for move.
The implications for GSAT are significant. They already have the network. They just need the FCC's approval to utilize their spectrum to enable the type of services AMZN is looking to provide. In our initiation piece, we said:
"Assuming a favorable FCC ruling, we believe that several parties in addition to Amazon would be interested in Globalstar's network. At present, Globalstar's market valuation currently stands around $300 million. Adding the potential value of its spectrum to the value of its core business implies that the value of GSAT's stock could ultimately increase by approximately 600% to $2.2 billion."
Well, it didn't take long for things to start going right for the company (and its stock). On Monday, the company announced that the FCC has placed Globalstar's requested notice of proposed rulemaking on circulation for consideration by the full Commission.
The final decision on this matter will greatly impact the value of GSAT. Three bureaus are involved -- the Wireless Bureau, the International Bureau, and the Office of Engineering and Technology. The International Bureau regulates the satellite service, the Wireless Bureau regulates all wireless services, and because the ISM band and license spectrum is also involved, the Office of Engineering and Technology has to weigh in.
The significance of Monday's announcement is that GSAT can now be presumed to have the support of interim FCC Chairwoman Mignon Clyburn (because she circulated the item). When combined with support from the Wireless Bureau and the International Bureau, our understanding is that only two more people (Clyburn's colleagues) need to lend their support: Mignon Clyburn, the acting chairwoman of the FCC has circulated a draft of the new rules to commissioners Ajit Pai and Jessica Rosenworcel.
PTT Research consulted with an industry expert who indicated that items such as these rarely reach this phase without going through.
If he's right, GSAT could get a ruling within the next couple of months. At that point, formal proceedings would begin, including allowing public comments. If the company is getting through these approval processes, we would view the aforementioned $2.2 billion as an appropriate valuation.
In the meantime, we're encouraged by the progress GSAT has made in its existing business. Technically, this is the "boring" part of their story, but it has been growing and puts a floor under the value of GSAT's stock (limiting investors' potential losses). That being said, we remain encouraged by the FCC's movement and Amazon's interest in GSAT's network. We would also note that Oceus Networks has recently requested an experimental license to conduct tests with the goal of potentially provisioning services to the Department of Defense.
In short, GSAT currently has a revenue-generating business that justifies its current valuation, in our opinion. It also has a major opportunity moving through the FCC that stands to deliver triple-digit returns to investors. Investors should keep in mind that this is a speculative issue. If the FCC doesn't approve of GSAT's aspirations, the shares will likely shift to solely reflect the value of its current business. However, we are optimistic. Accordingly, we maintain our belief that shares of GSAT are poised to triple.
Disclosure: I am long GSAT. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it. I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Ten Of The Best: Headphones For Music Production
We offer a selection of our recommended headphones for studio use, picking out our top choices at a range of…
Proving that bigger isn't always better, Bristol purple pioneer Guido shows us around the small but perfectly formed home studio in which he made his excellent new album.
As you can see I have the bare bones of a studio setup with a few extras. I have an RME Fireface 400 soundcard connected to my Mac Pro with some Tannoy Reveal monitors. I use three Korg keyboards: the Radias, Micro X and the MS-10.
At the moment, I'm occupying one of the rooms in my parents' house, though I plan to get my own space soon.
These two are very different kinds of synthesiser. I'm mainly using the Radias as a MIDI controller to trigger internal sounds but I do still get a lot out of the built-in features. The modulation sequencer is really cool.
A family friend lent the MS-10 to me and he is yet to retrieve it – long may that continue! The filter on it sounds great and I sometimes get distracted just playing around with the sounds rather than using it in productions.
When I have the money I want to get a bigger weighted-key setup with onboard sounds, so I'm thinking about getting the Kronos.
Bit of a Korg fan boy, eh?!
The Reveals have been my only monitors. I bought them when I was a teenager. They have been a decent purchase though. Can't complain!
I've been using a sE2200a microphone with Reflexion Filter to record all my vocals recently. Both vocal tracks from my new album were recorded using this particular setup in addition to other makeshift reverb reduction devices in place.
Nothing beats this for setting the mood for a studio session!
Guido's Moods Of Future Joy LP is out now on Tectonic. Find him on Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud.
Amazing to see the studio space used to create all the fantastic innovative sounds! Really rate Guido and his really thought through productions
What software does he use?
Love Guido's tracks. I still play Mad Sax and Beautiful Complication all the time. The new album's sick, good to see Guido getting some love from Attack.
I'd also like to know what DAW and soft synths he uses. His sound design, arrangements and mixdowns are so SO good.
DAW: Logic 9
For drum programming I use Geist
other soft synths I use: Omnisphere/Korg Legacy collection/Arturia Synths/EastWest Orchestra Gold/Gladiator/Sylenth.. to name a few..
his production sound like software and the sounddesign isnt advanced in any form. the world is still the same.
when i listent anidea i light some patchouli incense sticks. i'ts crazy is that your disk have done smelling incense and inspire me to do the same without knowing that. i speek english like shit.
I wish you good luck from Argentina.

MELBOURNE (TIP): India-born American surgeon Jayant Patel who was recently freed from jail after an Australian high court quashed his conviction of manslaughter and grievous bodily harm to his patients, will face another trial.
Patel, 62, was charged and convicted two years ago on three counts of manslaughter and one count of grievous bodily harm to his patients at the Bundaberg Hospital in Queensland.
Last week, an Australian high court quashed his convictions of manslaughter of three patients. According to 'The Age' report, director of public prosecutions Tony Moynihan on Thursday confirmed he would pursue another trial against Patel.
"I have carefully considered the judgment and am satisfied that, on the admissible evidence, there are reasonable prospects of a conviction and it is in the public interest to proceed with a new trial," Moynihan said in a statement.
"The charges have to be tried separately. Peter Davis, SC, who prosecuted the matter in the high court, will continue to appear for the Crown," he added. "As the matter is before the court, it is inappropriate for me to make any further comment," he said. Supporters of Bundaberg Hospital where Patel was working as surgeon backed the decision.
Bundaberg Hospital Patients Support Group president Beryl Crosby said, "I know there is going to be mixed feelings but at the end of the day we have to support that decision and I just hope there is support out there for the patients and people who have to go back through this again," she said.However, she also commented that she was "torn" by the decision of the retrial of Patel, who had been referred by the Australian media as Dr Death. "A lot of people need this to happen for justice, at the same time my heart was saying, "how are they are going to go through all the trauma again?," she said.
"Now we have to try and support everybody through that process and make sure that these people do get emotional help as well as everything else," Crosby said. "I hope that this is done (as quickly as possible). This is going to be a long process at the end of the day and no matter what length it takes, it is going to take its emotional toll and there is nothing we can do but try and support people through this process," she added. Patel, who is a US-trained surgeon, had pleaded not guilty in 2010 to the manslaughter of three patients — James Phillips, 46; Gerry Kemps, 77; and Mervyn Morris, 75, who died following surgeries performed by him at Queensland's Bundaberg Base Hospital between 2003 and 2005 He had also pleaded not guilty to the grievous bodily harm of Ian Vowles, whose bowel he removed in October 2004

JOHNSTOWN - The recent Fulton County Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day saw participation by 56 more residents than two years ago, officials said recently.
County Solid Waste Director Jeff Bouchard gave a report on the special collection day held Aug. 10 to the Board of Supervisors' Economic Development and Environment Committee at the County Office Building.
The county Department of Solid Waste has been conducting the free, one-day Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day in August every two years at the county landfill. The last time it was conducted was in 2011.
"We did see a slight increase," Bouchard told supervisors.
He said participation was up from 267 residents in 2011 to 323 this summer. The amount of household hazardous waste collected was 17.3 tons, although other waste was collected at the time that pushed the total to 22.6 tons for the day. The total cost estimate for the county was $36,360 and 50 percent reimbursement will be requested through the state.
Bouchard said his department is recommending Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day continue to be conducted every two years. A target date of Aug. 8, 2015 for the next collection day was discussed.
Bouchard said county residents are making use of year-round disposal and recycling programs for electronics, vehicle batteries, waste oil and household rechargeable batteries, along with summer latex paint exchange - all of which are not considered hazardous wastes.
He said if he saw 500 to 600 people participating in Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day, he could see holding it every year, but the numbers don't show that.
He said the county collected 326 gallons of latex paint, or about two tons, during the special day. He said residents can take that to the landfill year-round.
