1st Draft: Desktop Computing Recommendations for Penn 2014-2015
Document notes: This is a 1st DRAFT version of the desktop computing recommendations for 2014-2015, with specifications and pricing for review and subject to change. Some of the links from this page may be broken or incorrect. This draft was last revised on April 21, 2014.
Information Systems & Computing (ISC), in consultation with the Penn community, annually publishes recommendations for desktop computers. These recommendations reflect institutional and industry trends but do not necessarily take into account the computing requirements of specific Schools, departments, or Centers.
Before making purchasing decisions, administrators, faculty, and staff should always consult with their Local Support Providers (LSPs) to ensure that local requirements are fulfilled. LSPs consider local costs and operational requirements, and are responsible for ensuring that functionality with University-wide systems is maintained as necessary.
Students should consult with their School's computing department for recommendations for individually owned computers.
Key Considerations for This Year
Decisions Regarding Windows 8.1 Update
Windows 8.1 Update is significantly more friendly to keyboard and mouse use than Windows 8 RTM or even Windows 8.1, but it is still not optimized for those input methods. There are reasons that individual Schools, Centers, and departments might choose to deploy Windows 8.1 Update on select systems, such as specific support considerations or image consistency across their product lines, but with the exception of systems that have touchscreens Windows 7 will remain the best choice for the majority of institutionally owned Windows systems for the coming year.
Considering Alternate Desktop Delivery Methods
For many areas and use cases at the University, desktop virtualization, thin client deployments, or application virtualization may serve to replace the traditional desktop. Support providers should carefully assess their environment before implementing any of these alternate desktop delivery methods, keeping in mind that cost savings on the client side are often offset by greater server and storage needs. In the absence of cost benefits, there are other Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benefits related to support, security, and sustainability that may favor adoption of alternate desktop delivery methods for many use cases across the University.
Retiring Operating Systems
Windows Vista and OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) will be retired effective July 1, 2014. Please refer to the Operating System Life Cycles charts for ISC's long-term guidance on operating systems.
Desktop Recommendations for General Use
ISC's recommended configurations for new systems are shown below. Estimated prices are effective June 1, 2014, and are based on small form factor or all-in-one Dell OptiPlex (Windows) systems with three year next day warranty service or all-in-one Apple iMac (OS X) systems with one year next day warranty service. ISC will support these systems for four years, from July 1, 2014 until June 30, 2018.

- Processor speed is no longer considered important, but the class of processor (such as Core i5, Core i7, etc.) is. A more detailed University-centric perspective on processors is available from ISC's Processor Guide.
- Systems that use network storage for their entire life cycle may be deployed with smaller (i.e., 250 GB) hard drives. Some systems, particularly those from Apple, ship in standard configurations with substantially larger (1.0 TB) hard drives. An option, often called something like "Keep Your Hard Drive", allows the retention of a defective hard drive when receiving a replacement hard drive under warranty. This usually costs about $20 and is a good choice for many Schools and Centers in order to avoid possible disclosure of sensitive data. Finally, support providers should consider hybrid/SSHD drives for price/performance reasons.
- There is often significant variance in features, resolution, and display quality among LCD monitors of the same size. See ISC's Display and Graphics Guide for more information on LCDs and video cards.
- Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32-bit and 64-bit Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions) is recommended for new systems, with 64-bit being the default choice. Note that Windows 7 Professional includes all of the multimedia features present in Windows 7 Home Premium, and therefore is recommended as superior to Home Premium. Home Premium lacks important networking, security, and compatibility features, such as domain-based authentication, that are essential to many Schools and Centers in the University. ISC does not recommend but will support the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1. ISC does not recommend and will not support any version of Windows 7 Starter or Windows 7 Home Basic. Starter and Home Basic lack many important networking, maintenance, and security features that are critical to many Schools and Centers at the University.
- Windows 8.1 Update (32-bit and 64-bit Pro and Enterprise editions) is recommended for desktop systems with touchscreens. ISC does not recommend but will support the consumer version of Windows 8.1 Update, which lacks important networking, security, and compatibility features, such as domain-based authentication, that are essential to many Schools and Centers in the University.
- OS X Mavericks (10.9) is the only choice for new Macintosh systems as Apple's newly released systems always require the latest version of OS X. Apple's Boot Camp technology offers added flexibility for users who need to use Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows 8.1 Update occasionally. It should not be used to turn a Macintosh into a full time Windows system. Boot Camp requires that both the Windows and the OS X operating systems be patched and maintained.
- Pricing is generated using online configurators available from Apple and Dell and is for general reference only. Support providers may be able to generate significantly more competitive pricing for volume purchases, often with the assistance of the University's Computer Connection.
A four year comparative history of the desktop recommendations is provided for reference.
In response to what is often rapid technological change, ISC's Performance Desktop Purchasing Guide offers purchase recommendations for new systems that meet or exceed these specifications. Specifications are reviewed and updated when there are significant changes for performance systems.
Penn's requirements for desktops used to access the University's administrative systems are consistent with the recommendations for general purpose systems specified above. ISC maintains detailed information on the specific desktop environment requirements for administrative systems such as BEN Financials, the University's budget planning applications (Oracle EPM/Hyperion), and Webi/Business Objects. In general, ISC is comfortable with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 as the operating system of choice for administrative systems.
Several distinct categories of notebook systems are available, each designed to suit the needs of a particular class of users. Given the physical conditions to which they are often subjected, notebook systems generally have a shorter useful life than desktop systems (typically three years or less). Therefore, ISC provides support for three years for major brands of notebook systems that meet or exceed the 2013-2014 recommendations.
The current Notebook Purchasing Guide can help you determine which combination of features and capability will best serve your needs.
Extending Warranties
For computers with warranties of less than three years, ISC strongly recommends the purchase of extended warranties when departments are not prepared to make repairs themselves, especially beyond the first year or two of a computer's useful life.
Manufacturers such as Apple and Dell now offer four year warranties. If a system will used for the full four year life cycle, these warranties (which typically add about $70 to the overall cost) often are appropriate. However, support providers should expect the rate of system failure in the fourth year to be higher than that in the first three years.
Another option is to self-insure for the fourth year by allocating the additional $70 per system that would otherwise be spent on warranty extension into a fund to fix or replace systems that fail during the fourth year of service.
Operating System Life Cycle Support
While ISC generally expects support for recommended operating systems to persist through the four year life cycle of the desktop recommendations, that often may not be possible. Please refer to the Operating System Life Cycles charts for long-term guidance on the University's supported operating systems.
Improving Sustainability
University IT staff are encouraged to continue adopting measures that promote "Green IT". One option for LSPs is to purchase small form factor or all-in-one desktops when possible — they use less power and significantly less materials than towers. The University's hardware vendors now offer high-efficiency (80% or higher - often branded as 80 PLUS) power supplies at little or no additional cost. For information on the relative power usage of modern desktops and notebooks commonly used at the University under various operating conditions, see the Computer Power Usage page.
Hardware-based systems management technology (examples are Intel Standard Manageability, iAMT, and VPro) offers the capability of booting remotely from a completely off (not just sleep) condition. It allows Windows-based systems to save substantial energy and still be available for remote access, patching, and backup.
Ultra Low-Cost Desktops – Not Recommended
Price reductions resulting from market competition and continued technical innovation make definition of "Ultra Low-Cost Desktops" a moving target. It is generally true that computers priced in the bottom 40% of the current range compromise some combination of performance, reliability, compatibility, expandability, and warranty period to achieve the lowest possible costs.
Bearing in mind that "you get what you pay for" and since total costs of ownership associated with supporting any desktop system always far outweigh the actual purchase price, ISC strongly discourages purchasing "Low-Cost Desktops" for general use.
As an alternative, the Value Desktop Purchasing Guide offers recommendations for competitively priced systems that are compatible with Penn's computing environment and are widely supported on campus. ISC has certified low-cost enterprise-class systems for use at the University. However, these systems may not always be the best choice as they often lack important manageability or configurability features. Please see ISC's Computing Hardware Resources page for detailed reviews of various desktop systems.
Controlling Costs
Controlling costs continues to be important, though other considerations also must be weighed to insure that business needs are met. A cost and resource savings option already commonly employed at the University is to buy high quality displays with LED backlights every other life cycle instead of every life cycle. Another option is to bundle significant numbers of identical systems into a single purchase, often resulting in an additional discount from the system vendor (note that most desktop systems available from the University's Computer Connection already reflect bulk purchase pricing).
Further Information
The Computer Connection offers Apple and Dell configurations that match the recommendations discussed above.
ISC provides information on supported computing applications, middleware, and operating systems.
All desktop systems should have important data backed up and be kept virus-free. Additional security information from the Office of Information Security can be found here.
The Office of Environmental Health and Radiation Safety provides information on computer ergonomics.

Outdoor recreational operations and fishermen are seeing losses as Keehi Lagoon remains closed.
Greg Longnecker with Diamond Head Parasails and Water Sports says he's losing thousands of dollars a day. Jet skiing is half his business revenue. With Keehi Lagoon closed to commercial and recreational activities, including fishing and canoe paddling, the Matson molasses spill is not just affecting fish.
"When they shut it down completely on Friday, now we are going on our fourth or fifth day of complete loss of revenue," said Longnecker.
Earlier in the week, he said customers were asking for refunds after jet skiing around the dead fish in the lagoon. On Sunday, many just walked away.
"Today we wanted to do something fun and it's the weekend, so today jet skiing would have been really fun," said customer Joselyne Roberts.
Boaters and fishermen say the murky lagoon water used to be clear and full of fish. However, after the 233,000 gallon molasses spill, they are watching the clarity and sea life change around them.
"Now the smell died away a little bit but the smell of the rotting fish," said boater Clarence Callahan.
"Everyone over here is affected by it because everyone over here fished for food so you are taking away their food," said Ernie Banderas.
The DLNR says it's still not sure when the lagoon will be opened. Officials are going to be checking on it on a day-by-day basis.

Music Review: Orchestra's strings sing at performanceBy Jim LoweJim Lowe / Staff photo
Paul Gambill conducts the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra at Friday's concert.
If the level that the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra is performing at now is typical for Vermont's community orchestra movement, the state's classical music scene is in great shape.
Music Director Paul Gambill led the local orchestra, comprised largely of amateurs and music teachers, in a string program Friday at Montpelier High School's Smilie Auditorium that sounded quite impressive. "Fall Fantasia" is scheduled to be repeated at 4 p.m. today at Randolph's Chandler Music Hall.
Most exciting and musically rewarding was Edward Elgar's Introduction and Allegro, a full-blooded Romantic work that was very demanding of its players, and these 27 delivered. Although there were rough parts, Gambill and the players managed its many moods and achieved a barely restrained passion that delivered the power of this masterpiece.
The solo contingent in the work — violinists Cathy Metz and Willie Docto, violist Drusilla Macy and cellist Michael Close — delivered both the virtuosic and expressive passages effectively. This orchestra seems to improve with each performance.
Still, perhaps best played — and certainly the most reassuring to audience and players alike — was the selection of five movements from Grieg's beloved "Suite in Olden Style," Opus 40. Here, Gambill and the MCO achieved a light lyricism delivered accurately and expressively. Metz and Macy were the able soloists — with some quite virtuosic parts.
Friday's performance was not note-perfect and there were certainly some rough passages. Interestingly, most of the really fast music was light and accurate, but the players weren't entirely together in some of the slower and quieter passages.
Least successful was Vaughan Williams' complex Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis. Here, the orchestra is divided into three separate sections, and they didn't always gel. Still, it was a spirited and passionate performance.
A pleasant surprise was Smilie Auditorium. Although at a high school, it has excellent, very live acoustics and it's even a quite attractive concert hall.
Gambill and the MCO are helping raise the bar for Vermont's community orchestras, delivering compelling and truly rewarding performances. Their hard work is paying off — for us.
Montpelier Chamber Orchestra
The Montpelier Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Music Director Paul Gambill, will present "Fall Fantasia," featuring music of Grieg, Elgar and Vaughan Williams, at 4 p.m. today at Randolph's Chandler Music Hall on Main Street. Tickets are $15, $12 for seniors, $10 for students, at the door.

Headlines (News Releases)
Laurier increases Internet connection tenfold
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Sep 4/13| For Immediate Release
Ken Boyd, Director, ICT Solutions
Kevin Crowley, Director
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University has increased its outbound Internet connection on the Waterloo campus from one gigabyte to 10 gigabytes, a tenfold increase that matches its existing inbound capacity.
The improvement will provide students, faculty and staff with a superior Internet experience, especially when sending large files during peak periods.
This is part of our proactive approach to IT planning, said Ken Boyd, Lauriers director of ICT Solutions. We were occasionally bumping up against the one gigabyte limit and we wanted to get out ahead of the issue. Our users should now experience a smoother connection, especially students in our residence buildings.
The improvement was implemented with the assistance of the Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network (ORION), a high-speed fibre-optic network that connects the Laurier network to the universitys Internet provider, Cogent Communications.
ORION is a non-profit organization that exclusively supports research and education in Ontario. It provides high-speed connectivity to its member institutions, linking them to each other and to a global grid of research and education networks.

Optimus PadCompare7 reviewLG Optimus Pad is the European cousin of the T-Mobile G-Slate tablet. It has a 8.9 inches display, positioning it right between the iPad's 9.7" and the Galaxy Tab's 7" screens. In terms of raw power, the LG Optimus Pad will utilize NVIDIA's one and only Tegra 2 chipset, which fares quite decently, at least judging by our personal impressions with the Optimus 2X. What's more interesting in this device however is its ability to capture 3D content with the two 5MP sensors found on its back. Unfortunately, users won't be able to watch glasses-free 3D on the LG Optimus Pad's 8.9-inch screen. 3D video watching will be done by either using glasses on the tablet's screen, or by streaming the signal via HDMI 1.4 to a compatible 3D TV or monitor (again, for use with glasses). When it comes to software, LG has chosen to stick with stock Android 3.0 Honeycomb.+ View Specs

Two Years Ago Today
Here's a painfully brief recap of the past year:
I spent the summer in Pennsylvania living in my college's dorms and working on campus for the Admissions office as an assistant. When Fall came around I hopped on a plane to travel to Greece with strangers to study for a semester. I spent time traveling around Greece and used a couple of long weekends to explore Budapest and Germany. In December our group was forced to leave prematurely due to the riots taking place in Athens and I flew home for an early Christmas break with my family in Washington State. I returned in the Spring to Pennsylvania for my final semester, enduring snow in the first months back and enjoying the sunshine in the last few. After graduation I flew back to Washington State where I currently am temporarily settled.
If hopes become reality this year will bring as many adventures as the last...
I shot the video with my tripod (like I shoot my pictures) as a little thank you to all my blog readers. The song is by Dar Williams. I hope you all enjoy it.

Congrats on the 2 years! I've only started following you earlier this year and recently gained enough courage to comment.
I think your posts are always honest and inspiring. And you are so down to earth even with all the blog-success you've had and I just find that really refreshing and admirable:)

Wew, seems like I'm a bit late. I want to say congratulations for you and your amazing blog but the other 130 visitors will absolutely say the same, so istead of that, I'll just let you know that I'm simply happy for you. Why is that? Because this is your day, your blog anniversary, your own journey of life, something that has shaped your recent self now and I know you must feel glad, thankful and probably a bit anxious. I'll keep supporting you and i believe so many others will too. Have a great little celebration! And thank you for letting me be a little part of your blog (I really need to say this). I imagine you're smiling right now - smile for your 2 years journey and exploration that will keep continuing - and I believe you smile naturally, not for pleasing other people, but for being grateful for this very happy moment. Happy for you, your blog, and probably the smile to mean something. :)

I was quite surprised when I realised this March that I had been reading your blog for over a year. I found your blog, and from it the entire world of fashion and lifestyle blogging, quite by accident during a google searching session on high-waisted skirts, and ever since I have been enthralled and delighted by your writing and images.
It has been such a joy to read your posts almost every day since. You are a true inspiration, not just because of your lovely, unique style, but because of your writing talent, imagination, intelligence and the serene inner confidence in yourself and your identity which seems to seep through your blog.
I hope the next two years are as lovely and adventure-filled for you as the past two have seem to have been.

President Barack Obama may ease some tensions later today as he is expected to announce Sally Jewell as Interior Secretary, replacing Ken Salazar who will leave at the end of March, according to USA Today.
As the Huffington Post reports, Jewell is the first woman added to Obama's second-term Cabinet nominees.
Jewell is the president and chief executive officer of Recreational Equipment, Inc., an outdoors company known as REI, who has commercial banking experience, as well as engineering experience working for Mobil Oil Corporation.
Obama is expected to make the announcement later today.

It's been a while since we last tested 19" LCD monitors on our site. Not only new monitor models but, what is more exciting, new technologies have emerged since then (alas, a release of a new model today just too often turns out to be a minor revision of an older monitor, so it is even hard to tell sometimes where the new model differs from the older one).
Trying to keep up with the times we are adjusting the methodology we employ to test LCD monitors. A two-dimensional diagram of response time measured on transitions from black to levels of gray and back again once used to provide an exhaustive description of a monitor, but when it comes to the new models with response time compensation it is important to know how long transitions between different levels of gray may take. And we want to know this not only to evaluate the response time parameter proper but to check out if there are any RTC artifacts which may arise when the compensating impulse is way too strong and the pixel brightness shoots up above the necessary level (this shows up on the screen as light shadows, rainbow patterns, etc).
In order to help you compare different monitors better, from this article onward I will provide 3D diagrams of response time and RTC error for all RTC-enabled monitors and will calculate an average response time by averaging all the non-zero values in the table of transitions (zero values correspond to "zero" transitions like "128-128" and to transitions which our measurement system lacks precision to measure, e.g. transitions between the lightest color tones). I will also calculate an average RTC error by averaging all the values in the RTC error table that have non-zero correspondences in the response time table.
I want to remind you that you shouldn't base your judgments on numbers only because the distribution of numbers may also be important. For example, take and compare the RTC error diagrams for Samsung's 940BF and 960BF monitors (you can find them in the text of this review): although the former model has a bigger average error, its errors are more uniformly distributed among all the transitions and thus are going to be less conspicuous visually than the huge errors of the 960BF on a few transitions from black to gray. Yes, this analysis is hard to make and is even harder to justify because there is always room for an argument like "What's better: to have a few big errors or a lot of smaller ones?", but we just have no choice other than to analyze deeply. If we operate with averaged numbers only, we run the risk of becoming like the manufacturers of LCD matrixes who measure response time by a black-to-white transition and come up with a number that often tells you nothing about the real speed of a particular matrix.

How is it that Infanta Alicia is his heir? Isn't Austria semi-salic and would end up with Otto von Habsburg anyway? Is there anywhere where I can see all of these descents/successions? Fascinating.
In an alternate universe would it go like this?
Her Majesty Alicia, by the Grace of God, Queen of Hungary, of Bohemia, of Scotland, of Portugal, of Brazil, of Navarre, of Naples, of Sicily, Archduchess of Austria, Duchess of Burgundy, etc?

: The person with the most claims is Infanta

: Austria but Hungary and Bohemia, of the
: ancient dynasty of Scotland as heiress of
: David I, of Philip Ii's claim to Portugal
: and Brazil, and of course of his American

2009 Padres Awards: My Picks
Here's my awards that I'm "giving" out to the boys for this season:
MVP: David Eckstein. Sure, it doesn't look like it in the numbers, but his value to the team this year was unmeasurable. HONORABLE MENTION: Adrian Gonzalez (40 home runs and 99 RBIs)
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Everth Cabrera. Beside showing us his incredible glove over at shortstop, he showed that he can also swing the bat pretty well. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Luke Gregerson, Kyle Blanks, Luis Durango, Will Venable.
VETERAN OF THE YEAR: This one is pretty hard, since mostly all the players this season were very young. But I'm going to go with Eck. He's definitely a veteran, and he was just incredible for us this year. HONORABLE MENTION: Kevin Kouzmanoff🙂 He's been in the majors for three seasons now…that's almost a veteran, right?🙂
STARTER OF THE YEAR: Kevin Correia. We signed him to a minor league deal before Spring Training, and he had a great season. He had his downs, but he was able to put together a very good record. HONORABLE MENTION: Clayton Richard.
RELIEVER OF THE YEAR: Heath Bell. He had 40 saves, though he did blow quite a bit near the end. He settled right into the closer's role in the place of Trevor Hoffman, which is not an easy spot to fill, and he showed that he can close games consistently. He makes things interesting, that's for sure, but he gets the job done. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Greg Burke, Edward Mujica.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Kevin Kouzmanoff. Of course. He had three errors in 309 chances for a .990 fielding percentage. I'd say that's pretty good🙂 HONORABLE MENTION: Everth Cabrera.
COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR: I'm going to go with Tony Gwynn here. He really wasn't playing that well with Milwaukee, mostly because he wasn't getting a chance. But when he came here, when he came home to San Diego, he thrived. He played a great center field and hit just like his dad. It was really cool to see.
SURPRISES OF THE YEAR: Mat Latos and Wade LeBlanc. Both are guys that have been in our minor league system for a while, and it was great to see them come up and do so well. Mat had a horrible Spring Training. It was his first time facing major league hitters, but still. He was not good. When he finally came up, he made some great starts. Wade also did awful late last year and earlier in the year. He was terrible! But he did something, and was able to have a string of excellent starts at the end of the season.
MOST PATHETIC PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Brian Giles. First, he gets in a huge mess with his ex-girlfriend about abuse, then he gets hurt and misses a huge part of the season. Not good, Brian. Not good at all. NOT-SO-HONORABLE MENTION: Marcus Giles.
What a season. I just hope we can have all these positives with a winning record next season🙂

gotta give the MVP nod to Adrian. He's the engine right now that the Padres need to ride. Build around him and Eck and they have some hope. Juz my thots.

Nice breakdown! Thank you for "giving" two awards to Eck🙂 Like you said, he may not have the eye-popping numbers but he always brought great things for this young team. Kouz was just flat out amazing all season long. I can't believe his glove is going to the Hall of Fame. Yay! I'm super excited for him. Giles needs to go right now, by the way. We absolutely do not need him.
Well, maybe I should have had Eck and Adrian tied for MVP. They're both incredible players, and they both had great a great year.
AHHHH yes I'm so excited about the Kouz thing!! That's so cool. And yeah. We need to get rid of Brian ASAP!!
The awards are great overall, I think the "most pathetic" award is mean though, I do agree Brian Giles had a sub-par season.

You're right about Adrian and Eck! They are both amazing, and totally deserving of the award.
And I totally agree with Mat Latos being a surprise! He did so well, especially considering he came up from AA and not AAA like most players. If he had gotten more playing time though, I would have picked Luis Durango for the surprise of the year, just because he's so freaking fast! When I saw him play, I was in shock at how fast he flew down to first!
Great list!
I like the awards stuff, it's fun to pick the ones you think fit the award…
