Where did I say anyone should be happy someone died? I'm just saying it's hypocritical to hype gear and then to say thing like (similar to . . . not direct quote), "Oh, how sad. He was an icon."Originally Posted by tlwisner

I think the Everest climbers example is a poor one.
These "climbers" no matter how inexperienced, throw their money at those who know what they're doing. Its these guides job to take care of them and ensure their clients safety. This does, of course, matter on the client AND the guide service.
A better example might be Free Solo climbers- those that climb without any sort of fall protection (rope) You could be the world bestest rock climber on something you've done dozens of times before and is WELL within your capabilites. Then comes that bird swooping down, or that rock flake that has slowly loosened over the years and SPLAT!! or even worst.. fall, bump, fall, bump, roll, bump, THUD!!
What Indian Larry did was foolish, even stupid but he accpeted the risks and paid, the ultimate price, for it.
How about this? Can someone be an icon in on area of their lives and be stupid in another area? For example Michael Jordan...great BB player , poor husband. Kobe Bryant... ditto. Michael Jackson...nuff said. Kurt Cobain, And I am sure I could think of more given the time. Indian Larry was an Icon in the bike building area, kinda stupid in the riding,showing off department.

Whether we like it or not, the activity that takes up most of our time – more time than even sleeping – is studying. So it's important to find a great place to do it, and all of us have found those unique study spaces that have become like our second homes.
Come with us on a tour of the places where we spend most of our time on campus. Which would you choose?
Abuzar – The graduate library
The Edwin Ginn Library at Tufts' Fletcher School of International Affairs is adjacent to my dorm hall, which makes it very convenient, especially in the winter. This is not the main university library – it's for the graduate school.
I go to the graduate library instead of the main library because the environment is a lot quieter and the students who study there are more serious. I usually spend most of my weekday nights in this library perusing my books, doing homework and sometimes (meaning usually) procrastinating with Facebook, YouTube videos, and TV shows.
Sunny – Next to a mammoth
These two pictures are taken at my favorite building, Brooks Hall – the anthropology department at the University of Virginia. The second one was taken inside the common room where I usually study. Yup I study next to a mammoth (how weird am I…) and there are cool handicrafts within the glass cabinet.
Paula – My dining room
This is my dining room table at home — a huge conference-room type of table which is always full of my stuff: GRE books and practice tests, Spanish textbook and resources to plan my classes, several books for the classes I'm taking, and most importantly, my mate! It's a typical beverage from my country (Uruguay) and I can't do almost anything if I don't have it!
This is a view of the McKeldin Mall, with the McKeldin Library in the background, at the University of Maryland. I spend most of my time on campus here, not just because the History department and the Library are located on the mall, but because it is the best green space on campus – a place to relax between classes, to walk through with friends, or (when it is a bit warmer) to take your laptop and get some work done while sat under a tree.
The fountain in the center of the mall is infamous among students, as it is tradition to go skinny-dipping in it before you graduate. Although it's a bit chilly to do that just yet, the mall is still the most beautiful spot on campus, come snow or shine.
Phillip – My secluded cubicle
This is a cubicle in the library. I prefer to study in the same place so I have made this my own cubicle. I like this cubicle because it is secluded and sometimes I can just hide from the craziness at Bates in it. I took these pictures spontaneously when I got bored of studying.
Shree – The library I hope to make my own
During my trip to Rollins College, I took a picture of the library there and if I'm enrolled, that will probably be the place where I would spend the most of my time.
Nicholas – At a game
The first photo is my school's library where I spend most of my time studying and the second is one of our football game. I generally like going to school games, especially basketball games, but I didn't have a picture of that.
Annisa – The library couch
The library is every scholar's best friend on campus. The library at my campus offers many different types of study environments. There is a silent room for people who need complete silence and no distractions, there are rooms for groups of people who meet to conduct study groups and compare notes, there are rows of computers for people who have an online element in their classes, there are individual study tables, and there are sofa areas for people who don't like to sit in tables all day (like myself!).
The library is where I often see my classmates and from there we start to sit together and discuss assignments or help each other our with study guides. It is also the best place to develop friendships with classmates. When we start conversing or take study breaks, we start to get to know each other and familiarize ourselves with each other's study methods. When I study in a group, we always take time to study ourselves then review together to make sure everyone is on the same page. So now you know why I spend my time here.
Yu – My office
This is a photo of my office at Wesleyan's Center for the Humanities. It's my favorite place on campus, and also where I spend the most time.
Students that are selected to be fellows are given this office space to work on their senior theses. There's a mini-fridge, free coffee downstairs, a balcony, and a couch that's very convenient for power naps. Faculty fellows also have offices just next door and down the hall.
Every Monday, the fellows attend lectures organized by the Center, and then have dinner afterwards. On Tuesday morning, we participate in a colloquium about the lecture and continue our discussions over lunch. I've found this to be an amazing opportunity that demonstrates how closely students and faculty can interact and engage in intellectual conversations at small liberal arts colleges like Wesleyan.
Where do you spend most of your time on campus? How have you made it your own?

Welcome back from break, Class! I hope you had as lovely a time as I did! I've missed you all, though, and am happy to be home again.
Today's lesson covers the tricky topic of who/whom. This is something, I have to admit, which still gives me a little trouble, so I'll explain the rules to you, then tell you the 'trick' I use to help me figure out which to use when. Please also understand that the more formal uses for which whom/whomever are generally pressed into service are steadily disappearing in favor of the less formal who/whoever; it's one of those "language evolution" things again..
Who and whoever are subjective pronouns – which is just a fancy way of saying that they act as subjects in sentences:
Who left the door open?
Whoever wants dinner should hurry to the kitchen!
Whom and whomever are objective pronouns, which means that they are the object of the verb:
To whom do I address my complaint?
We will nominate whomever the committee suggests.
Instead of trying to figure out whether the word I'm looking for is the subject or the object, I tend to use this little trick; take out the "wh" word and replace it with a third person pronoun – for the sake of simplicity, let's use "he."
If you can replace the "wh" word with "he," you want who or whoever. If you have to use "him," though, you want to use whom or whomever (the "m" in him helps me remember the "m" in whom). Recognize that you may have to reword your sentence to figure this out, but that doesn't really matter as long as you keep the original verb tenses. Let's use one of each of the sentences above:
Who left the door open? HE left the door open. "Who" is correct.
We will nominate whomever the committee suggests. WE will nominate HIM. The committee suggests HIM. "Whomever" is correct.
Now you try one:
The grandfather left his sizeable estate to whoever/whomever didn't bring a lawyer to the reading of the will.
Do you know which to use?

ioannis - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - linkAnand, if you are reading this, is it possible to test an anti-glare film with those screens? It might be the only solution for us that can't stand the glare
Piyono - Friday, October 17, 2008 - linkI just saw the October 2008 MacBook and could barely contain my excitement. I felt compelled to write in to let you know how eager I am to upgrade to the Firewire-enabled model which I imagine will succeed this one. I'm warmed by the thought that countless thousands of people won't have to shell out for the Pro model just to continue feeling validated in their decision to invest in Firewire audio interfaces, video cameras, hard drives and so forth. Your commitment to maintaining thriving, modern standards is noted and appreciated.
See you at refresh time!

radguy - Friday, October 17, 2008 - linkApple is trying to promote this with.
Solid aluminum construction "precision aluminum unibody enclosure
New display "LED-backlit display
New gpu "next generation graphics"
No click with trackpad "Multi-touch glass trackpad"
"Mini Display port connector"
"Environmentally responsible"
"very fast memory"
When was the problem with notebooks structual yeah its cool but how much is this costing me?
New display: nice but not really that big on glass
New gpu is good
No click trackpad. Haven't used it cant tell.
Mind Display terrible idea unless it comes with converter free and doesn't so TERRIBLE
enviromentally responsible - nice but not going into the enviromental debate
Very fast memory- last time i checked ddr3 1066 was totally alot faster than ddr2 800. especially when it came to notebooks.
So were are we at. Apple this is a heart to heart. Its really cool but I wanted
better gpu
blu ray
1440x900 option on the 13inch
better battery
less weight
lower price
all in my next notebook. You got the gpu and that was it. To bad you hiked up the price. Wont be going apple on the notebook anytime soon.
Griswold - Friday, October 17, 2008 - link"When was the problem with notebooks structual yeah its cool but how much is this costing me?"
It may be the $200 (or most of it) people are complaining about. :)
At any rate, milling the base from an aluminum block is definitely the more expensive way of doing it. I'm not quite sure why they did it either.. it must be the "coolness" factor they're betting on... Reply
charliept - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkIt almost looks like a downgrade.
No FW400?
No HDMI?
No E-SATA?
No Blu-Ray?
No matte display option?
The same 2 USB ports?
DisplayPort but no adapters included???
In one word only: disappointment!

illdefined - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkhasn't the Air's disc interface been upgraded?
what kind of improvements would that bring, more importantly, is there a user-way to put an Intel SSD in there?? Reply
Zak - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkYeah, the decision to kill FW is unforgivable indeed. I like to be able to plug in any portable FW drive without having to worry about insufficient power. I often clone two external FW drives by daisy-chaining them. And then there is the FW Target Disk Mode. And not enough USB ports and poor battery life? I don't know WTF is wrong with Apple, but they seem to be going back to their old ways... Without FireWire and Target Disk Mode Apple laptops have a lot less appeal to me:(
Z. Reply
Syzygies - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkWith the loss of the FireWire port, MacBooks have lost the capacity to attach multiple external hard drives, period.
One cannot connect multiple high-bandwidth devices to a USB port. Even Apple's own technical notes warn this leads to trouble. I'd be happy if Apple had introduced eSATA connections, but it simply dropped any option for multiple external hard drives. That makes the MacBook a toy. I'm waiting a generation. I'd step up to a MacBook Pro _if_ they ever make one small enough... Alas. Reply
SirKronan - Thursday, October 16, 2008 - linkYeah. They've really screwed the pooch on this one. Taking the firewire away is unforgivable. Best Buy and other electronics stores have lined the shelves with new firewire 400 and even 800 external drives that have "MAC" stamped all over them. Now only the "elite" pro owners well be able to buy and utilize these new drives. Why will basic Macbook users spend extra to get firewire when they can't even benefit from it? They will buy cheaper (and inferior) USB drives. Or they will buy cheaper (and superior) Windows-based laptops that HAVE firewire or eSATA.
And this is freaking 2008. What the elf is Crapple thinking not putting eSATA on there ...
Apple = "teh suck"
(and this is coming from an Apple fan with three iPods and a Macbook. I've also owned an iMac and I do a TON of photo and video editing ... Mac's really losing their competitive edge. "Pretty" isn't going to sell to people who still need functionality.) Reply
Dennis Travis - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkAnand, if you see this post, is the whole chipset made by Nvidia? Both Northbridge and Southbridge and just an Intel CPU? A few people have been discussing this and I figured I would ask.
Thanks. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkThe GeForce 9400M is a single chip solution, north and south bridges in one. The CPU is Intel. So it's two chips and you've got the vast majority of the system :)

LTG - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkDon't know why they didn't opt for the new Intel SSD drives.
Will these new MacBooks have the stuttering SSD problem?
Griswold - Friday, October 17, 2008 - linkArent they using samsung SSDs? They come with their own proprietary controller and not with the jmicron junk. Reply
JAS - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkHow much money is Apple saving by removing the Firewire port from their MacBook models? Firewire is still the preferred way to connect external drives, and it is virtually essential for importing DV video from camcorders. With no ExpressCard slot on the MacBook, users don't even have the option to add Firewire themselves.
On the 15-inch MacBook Pro, Apple took away the Firewire-400 port while retaining the Firewire-800 port. Yes, Firewire-800 is downward compatible with Firewire-400; but you need an adapter cable to accommodate the two different types of connectors.
It is odd to see Apple backing away from Firewire in their laptops, especially considering how the company pioneered the Firewire (1394A) protocol in the first place.
I'm glad that I bought my MacBook Pro earlier this year. I'm not sure that I'd want to buy one of the new models with the non-optional glossy screen and Firewire deficiency. Reply
tim851 - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkI love how people continue to bash Apple's pricing. It's not that Apple has ever been anything but high end. And you know what - they are one of the fastest growing IT companies. Their profits are through the roof, unlike most high volume vendors that engage in price wars.
If you're thinking Apple is too expensive, it's really you (like me), that is just too poor... Reply
demiurge3141 - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkIs this a joke? Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkTo anyone except those affected by Steve Job's Reality Distortion Field, it is a complete joke. Reply
SoCalBoomer - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linknot only no LAN, but still only one USB and only the special display adaptor. . .
Competitor laptops (same size, same weight) from Dell, Lenovo, etc. all have normal VGA (which, at this resolution, is JUST fine and makes giving presentations very easy - no stupid dongles to lose), multiple USB, LAN, etc. etc. etc.
And for less.
Yep - I'm laughing. Reply
ksherman - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkThe MacBook received a pretty sweet makeover. I know its a slight bit pricier, but it sure is a stellar shift for the MacBook.
The MacBook Pro is an epic fail in my book. I like the chicklet keyboard, I have one of the new Apple keyboards and adore it. NOT a fan of the black. Why not keep it gray like the rest of the laptop? Then, glossy only. I know some will say its fine etc, but I don't like Apple's trend of forcing the glossy screens. They are simply not my cup of tea and interfere with my work as a photographer that works on the go. True, I have a Samsung 24" on my desk for serious work, but not even giving us the option of a matte screen is a step back. Then, the huge black border... yuk! I am fine with the border, but so thick? I think this new trackpad sounds like slick work, look forward to see them. Nice bump in the Video Card (wish they wouldn't have put 256MB in the lower model, should just be 512MB all around) and DDR3 is a nice change.
Now here is the other big negative for me: the mini-DisplayPort. LAME. I understand that DisplayPort is the wave of the future, okay. But that connector is only capable of 1920x1200 on the $30 adapter (seriously, not included?!) and if you want/need D-DVI, the adapter is $99!!!! WTF?? Big mistake, the way I see it.
I am a fan of the construction styling of the lower section, looks impressive! If only Apple hadn't screwed over the Pros... Reply
quiksilvr - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkHonestly what the hell? The pricing is utterly ridiculous. $100 is what Dell and HP charges, so how is $200 worth it for Apple? Its better...how?
13" Macbook:
For $300 extra you get a bump to 2.4 GHz and 90 GB. On the base $1299 model, an upgrade from 160 to 250 GB is 100 bucks!...WHY? 1 GB of HDD space was worth LESS than a dollar not MORE. And even worse, if you just want a speed bump and not space, you are FORCED to pay $300 just to upgrade from 2.0 to 2.4. ONLY HAVE ONE BASE MODEL AND CUSTOMIZE FROM THERE AND STOP RIPPING OFF YOUR CUSTOMERS.
It gets worse: because of their idiotic mini display port, you have to pay 30 BUCKS (instead of the original 20) just to get an adapter to DVI or VGA. You don't get both for 30, EACH cost 30.
15.4" Macbook Pro
REALLY? For 500 bucks you get a whopping bump from 2.4 to 2.53, 2 extra GB of RAM and 70 GB of space...oh and 256 MB bump on the video card but its redundant because you have 4 freaking GB of RAM. Who prices these things? Do they even think it through? Oh and its still 2 grand for the base model. Yeah...REALLY affordable.
The only good that comes from this is the original 13" Macbook costs $999 with a Superdrive standard (but still only 1 GB RAM, and charging you 75 bucks just for an extra GB of RAM)
17" Macbook Pro
Not only did they NOT redesign it, they didn't bring the price down. All they did was give it 4 GB RAM and a 1080p LED screen. Which is all well and good, but its still 2800 bucks. How do they expect to make a strong position in the market if they don't do what is expected from a company? HAVE AFFORDABLE NOTEBOOKS.
You'd think that with such a high price, there is a reason. Is the processor different from PCs? NO. How about the screen? Nope. Do they use special RAM? Nooo. How about video card? No. Hard drive? No. Optical drive? No. BUT ITS MADE FROM A SOLID PIECE OF ALUMINUM AND 33% THINNER and 20% LIGHTER THAN MOST NOTEBOOKS! Ok that's cool, but I'd rather NOT spend an extra 500-1500 bucks just for Aluminum casing and lightness and get a better spec'd computer. If I want a new OS that bad I can get Ubuntu or just buy Leopard and "hack" it so it runs on PCs.
Simply put, these new Macbook releases always do what is expected (make DVD burning standard, make 2 GB standard, LED back lighting) but not what most consumers want (affordability, one base model to avoid being forced to pay extra just for one thing, some form of an accidental damage warranty, and a fingerprint reader of some kind). The sad part: I WANT to get a Mac (the notebook not the OS), but the price, its lack of game compatibility and continual stubbornness of not releasing the OS for PCs so that it CAN be compatible with everything keeps me away from it. Ubuntu does a better job in that and it has an even smaller footprint in the PC world. Reply
SirKronan - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkDisgusting .... APPLE, not Anand.
Pros to Macbook:
DDR3 (although minor)
No firewire????
The four changes above are completely evolutionary. Evolutionary changes in this day and age shouldn't raise the price. The Macbook has been scarcely upgraded at all since its release. The new body style shouldn't be accompanied by a ridiculous hike in price. I am impressed with the nice looking LED screens, but they take away your firewire port and don't even replace it with a third USB.
I'm skipping this generation for sure. I love my Macbook, but if it died right now I certainly wouldn't be replacing it with one of these new expensive ones. I'm not impressed. The Penryn and DDR3 can't be costing Apple enough to justify a $200 price hike. That's not the way the computer business works. I honestly hope people don't buy them until the price comes down.
Fail. (sorry if I sound a bit harsh ... long day at work!) Reply
takumsawsherman - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkWhat they have done to these laptops is a travesty. They were awesome, and easy to sell. Firewire target disk mode is one of the most useful features for mac users. I use it all the time. Stripping out Firewire on Macbooks is such a penny-pinching, crappy move. It's bad enough you don't get many ports, and they took away the remote, and raised the price, and now you don't even get a $5 port.
I don't care if it was Jobs who wanted the firewire port gone, and the Macbook Pro to be stripped to one FW800 port. Smack that person upside the head.
This is in addition to the probable continuation of making the laptops and iMacs more and more difficult to service. Just today, I had to disassemble a White Intel iMac to replace the HD. With the earlier iMac G5 (same form factor) you could unscrew 3 or 4 screws, which were trapped, and open the back. Then you could replace memory, hard drive, power supply, optical drive, or anything else. With this unit, I had to remove the front bezel using a bent, cut credit card (Apple provides a "tool" to ASPs, which is a plastic card that they literally tell you to bend and cut) due to Apple trying to prevent smaller shops from servicing the units out-of-warranty. Then disconnect the iSight camera. I had to then remove an EMI shield that likes to tear, then remove a display connector, then remove EMI tape around the display, then 4 T10 screws (this model uses T6, T8, AND T10), then remove the display, then detach 2 display cables, then remove a HD thermistor cable, then remove the HD, exchange the bracket and plug screws into the new drive, replace the thermistor with the remainder of sticky tape onto the new drive, screw that back in, then replace the display cables, display, T10 screws (for which I do not have a magnetic driver, and yes, the holes are set down within the chassis, that was fun), then try to replace the tape, then the other cable had to be screwed in (T6), then the shield replaced, then the iSight reconnected, then the bezel back on. I was being careful, granted. But it took a freaking HOUR!!!
Now, the real solution for that is physical pain inflicted on the idiot who decided that one should have to go through all of that to replace a hard drive, or even the clock battery (a little less work for one of those). Reply
v12v12 - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkYeah I've got a GLossy-FLossy PC lappy and the reflection is definitely an issue! I mean it's not enough for me to relinquish it for a matte, b/c the colors, esp watching vids, are leagues above matte... then again, the scratches and nicks are VERY easily seen and that drives me nuts more than anything. Gloss attracts the joe-blows/zealots alike with the cleverly, and tactile marketing: thus never showing the negatives of it.
My advice is to the cautious: decide what you can and CANNOT tolerate, from the small list of pro's and cons from my exp. I have both a McPro (matte) and a glossy PC... I find myself using + tolerating the gloss, while silently complaining about it still. Reply
Doormat - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - link"You do pay for all of this, the updated configuration will run you $1299 up from $1099 (although you can still buy the entry level MacBook at $1099). The display alone is worth the $200 price premium honestly."
I beg to disagree. The res is the same, and I have no problems with my CCFL-LCD on my 2.5 yr old MacBook. I would have been happy if they would have kept it for another 6 months and waited until the price came down on both the display and DDR3 RAM.
The $200 price increase really grinds my gears. I went from expecting to fork over about $1500 for a new MB to find that I would have to spend $1700, and the processor is only 133MHz faster than the one in my 2.5 yr old MacBook (May 2006).
Apple screwed up IMO. May they find that their ASP goes south the next few months as people buy MBs instead of MBPs and $999 plasti-Macs instead of "Premium" MBs. Reply
vexingv - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkWhile my Powerbook has become anemic running Leopard, with its max RAM of 1.25 gb, and those superfluous flash-filled webpages, I still feel it had one of the best form-factors of an Apple portable. Disappointments with this new generation of MBP/MB:
1.lack of a matte option; while they may look nice, glossy screens don't have the truest color representation and have issues with glare. I also feel that my eyes strain/fatigue faster when using a glossy screen.
2. Apple is also nickel-and-diming users on these new adapters. When I bought my Powerbook, the mini-DVI to VGA and DVI adapters were included standard; the new Mini Displayport adapters $30 each. There is also no mention of any type of adapter for FW800 to FW400.
3. lack of any mouse buttons: multitouch is an interesting feature, but why remove the mouse button to make the trackpad clickable? I don't see why the mouse button couldn't be left there.
4. "chicklet" keys: I think the Powerbook/MBP keyboards were top notch and always hated using the keyboard on my friend's Macbook.
5. Macbook and Macbook Pro lines have very few features separating them. As far as I can tell, the only two features it lacks are a discrete gpu (9600M GT) and firewire. But given its size, this new generation of Macbooks could fill the role that has been left by the 12" Powerbooks.
6. Price: Macbooks have gotten more expensive and I only expect those plastic Macbooks to be around for $999 until supplies are out.
I just hope that Apple can come out with better hardware revisions when it transitions to the Nehalem/Core i7 mobile platform, which is when I anticipate on upgrading my portable. Reply

Thanks for the thorough comparison! Reply
marsbound2024 - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkI've seen articles on other sites (such as Engadget) talking about how annoying the glare was on the screen. Why is there no mention of this? Is it just that the glare isn't that bad? Or I suppose since the article is merely a discussion of specifications there really isn't a need to discuss the fact that this glass screen might be rather annoying for use under lights or outside? I really like the new design and specs, but the display's glare might prevent me from considering it. Reply
Christoph Katzer - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkLet the man get his hands on the new ones first, review it and be sure to get an indepth analysis then. Reply
DCstewieG - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkThe complaints about the glossy screen are incredibly overblown IMO. I (and many others I've found online) was of the opinion that the glossy screen is terrible. But early this year when I was buying my MacBook Pro, I read a lot online and then went to the store. I decided to go with the glossy screen and I love it. Unless you'll always be using your laptop with a light or window right behind you, you never really notice it.
I would guess that most of the complaints you read online are from people who've never really used the glossy screen for a serious amount of time and just assume that this reflective finish must suck. But seriously, go see for yourself. What are you listening to people on the internet for? I know mine is beautiful. Reply
Griswold - Friday, October 17, 2008 - link"Unless you'll always be using your laptop with a light or window right behind you, you never really notice it. "
You make no sense at all. A notebook is a portable device I want to use everywhere - also and especially outside my own house. Glossy screens are a failure there. Glossy screens can work just fine on a desktop system if the environment is right, but its as dumb as it can get for a notebook, because not everyone, like you, will use it on the same table in the same position every day. Period.
code65536 - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - link> Unless you'll always be using your laptop with a light
> or window right behind you, you never really notice it.
That's like saying, "unless you find yourself using your laptop far away from a power supply for very long periods of time, 5 hours of battery life ought to be enough for anyone." Sure, that might apply in many cases, but I still want the flexibility and robustness of a matte screen so that when I do encounter adverse lighting, things still work fine.
And I'm surprised at how many defenders of glossy use the "you must have never seen one before" line. Well, I used to have a glossy screen. And it was so unbearable that I actually went through the trouble (and it was a LOT of trouble) to get the screen replaced with a matte screen. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - linkHonestly, there's a lot more to an LCD than the glossy vs. matte discussion. In fact, I know Anand is happy to see the new specs, but I'm not convinced the new MacBook will actually have a display that's on par with the Pro - we'll see when he gets a chance to actually test it in person.
One of my major complaints with laptop LCDs is contrast ratio and color gamut. I have yet to test anything that comes anywhere near the ASUS G2P I tested over two years ago, which still falls behind pretty much every single desktop LCD I've tested.
I've got an LED backlit LCD right now that one might expect to perform well... but it doesn't. The contrast ratio is about 200:1, because the black level is about 1.0 nits. Sitting next to it is a non-LED laptop with a black level of around .25 nits, and let me tell you it makes a huge difference. I've tested LED lit laptops that do much better, and I've tested non-LED backlit laptops that do worse. Bottom line is that LCD panel technology still has a lot of variation.
Maybe if I'm lucky, I can get Anand to send me a few Apple MacBooks for some quick LCD testing. I've always heard they're "better" than other models, but have never had a chance to sit down and run some objective tests to prove that. I think they even used to use S-IPS panels on some notebooks, but I'd be very surprised if they still do that - which is really a shame. Reply
marsbound2024 - Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - linkThis is a new glass screen... and Engadget is a pretty respectable site. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008...">http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com...8/10/app...
And this is from Gizmodo: "The glossy screen is what it is, and is bright, fast to light up and a bit too reflective if you position it with the sun behind you (no matte option anymore)."
But of course I'd be absolutely pleased if the glare isn't so bad. I just know that I'll be using my laptop for what laptops are intended for: mobility. I want to go anywhere... a cafe, a park, the deck, who knows. I am not afraid of the sunlight like many geeks are sometimes stereotypically portrayed, but I certainly don't want my laptop's glare to instill that fear. Reply

Opinion: The Progressive's Guide to Do More than Vote
It's hard to believe it was only a month ago that Samuel L. Jackson needed to remind Obama supporters to "Wake the Eff Up!" Obama and Biden's post-convention bounce had given them their largest lead in months; Romney and Ryan's convention was a flop; and many Democrats were thinking more about Halloween costumes that get-out-the-vote (GOTV) plans.
Then the first debate gave Republicans a boost, and - as often happens in a campaign's endgame - the race tightened. While the race is close, Romney isn't surging and yet media stories about his "momentum" make progressives nervous. Even the negative news cycles of Donald Trump and Richard Mourdock are only so much comfort for those fearful of Tea Party triumphs.
Progressives now remember their vote will matter (a recent Obama video hit home the point about every vote counting), and the president's campaign has been pushing early voting as a way to avoid lines and technical malfunctions -- with the candidate himself becoming the first president to cast a vote early. And for liberals who want to send a message of frustration with the administration, early votes are being cast for Jill Stein, Rocky Anderson and other presidential candidates as well.
Voting is one step - and not the only step. If you want to influence this election, of course you should cast a ballot - but whether you have 5 minutes, 5 days, 5 dollars or every hour between now and November 6th, you can Do More Than Vote.
(NB: Over the past four presidential and midterm elections, I have been part of an initiative called "Do More Than Vote," a directory to find opportunities that meet your interests and availability that has not been associated with any party, candidate or organization.)
If you have five minutes…
- You can commit to voting and confirm information on where, when and how to cast your ballot
- You can find the most compelling political videos on the web - arranged by issue, district and candidate - and share the strongest with your friends
- You can show your support on progressive causes other than election through effective, online actions
If you have 30 minutes…
- Sign up for a "Friends and Neighbors" program that will help you connect to people in your own network about the election
- Create your own ballot to share your preferences with friends, and learn more about candidates up-and-down the ticket ()
- Take advantage of a free online training on getting out the vote and other campaign skills
If you have an hour...
- The Obama campaign makes it easy to call swing voters from your own home on your own schedule
- Not interested in the presidential race? Call out the vote for critical Senate and Congressional races with the Progressive Campaign Change Committee
- If you want to dig in on more progressive candidates, you can dial voters tin key districts with Democracy for America
If you have an afternoon, a day, or more…
- Find a local phonebank, canvass or action organized by MoveOn volunteers near you
- Sign up to join Workers Voice GOTV efforts
- Want to work directly with the presidential field team? See where Obama For America would send you
If you want to protect the vote...
- Help election protection efforts - whether you have legal experience or not
If you have a few dollars:
- Support progressive candidates
- Join the fight to take down the Tea Party Ten
If you're not living in Ohio, you might feel your vote isn't valued as much. But wherever you are and however much time you have, you can do more than vote.
Plus, while everyone only gets one vote, you can do more with your vote. In safe states, look into minor party candidates: the Green Party and Justice Party are willing to take stances the Democrats are too timid to embrace. In states with fusion voting, learn about progressive third parties such as the Working Families Party of New York. Then your vote won't only be supporting candidates, but supporting changes in our larger political system.

CINCINNATI -- Watching his Brewers hit three home runs to open their game against Cincinnati on Sunday left Milwaukee manager Ned Yost a little nervous.
"It was nice, but you know the balls are flying out of here," Yost said.
They certainly were.
After Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy and Ryan Braun connected off Phil Dumatrait, becoming only the third team in major league history to open a game with three straight home runs, Milwaukee added three more homers in a 10-5 victory over the Reds.
"That was pretty cool," Braun said. "I was never part of something like that before."
Weeks and Braun each hit another homer and Hardy added two doubles -- all in the first four innings -- to give Milwaukee sole possession of first place in the NL Central. The Brewers began the day tied for the lead with the Chicago Cubs, who lost 10-5 at Pittsburgh.
Johnny Estrada also homered to give Milwaukee six in a game for the first time since April 29, 2006, in a 16-2 win over the Cubs at Chicago.
"It was fun today," Weeks said. "It was good to set the tone today. I hope I can keep doing that."
Weeks sent a 2-1 pitch into the Reds' bullpen in left-center field, his second leadoff homer this season and fifth of his career.
Hardy followed two pitches later with a drive into the Brewers' bullpen down the right-field line, stopping an 0-for-12 slide with his first homer since Aug. 19.
Braun hit Dumatrait's ninth pitch over the fence in center. Braun also homered in the second for a 7-1 lead, giving him 30 homers this season. The previous Brewers' rookie record was 28, set by Prince Fielder last year.
"I've never seen that before -- not to lead off a game," Cincinnati catcher Javier Valentin said. "They were all fastballs. He got behind in the count."
San Diego's Marvell Wynne, Tony Gwynn and John Kruk became the first trio to open a game with consecutive home runs on April 13, 1987, off Roger Mason in a 13-6 loss to San Francisco at San Diego. Atlanta's Rafael Furcal, Mark DeRosa and Gary Sheffield hit consecutive home runs off the Reds' Jeff Austin to start a 15-3 win at Cincinnati on May 28, 2003.
The Brewers had not hit three consecutive home runs since Sept. 12, 1982, when Cecil Cooper, Ted Simmons and Ben Oglivie accomplished the feat in a 9-8 loss at the New York Yankees.
Weeks homered to lead off the fourth for the second two-homer game of his career. He also hit two on Aug. 12, 2005, in a 5-3 win at Cincinnati.
The top three batters in Milwaukee's order combined for 24 total bases in the first four innings.
Ben Sheets improved to 2-0 in three starts since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 28. Sheets (12-4) allowed five runs and six hits with six strikeouts and three walks in six innings.
"A great job by the offense today," said Sheets, who was out for more than six weeks with a sprained right middle finger. "I felt all right -- good enough. I got a little tired. I'm still getting my legs back."
Dumatrait (0-4) faced five batters, allowing five hits and four runs before being pulled by manager Pete Mackanin.
"Phil just didn't have any command on his pitches, and the Brewers let him know about it," Mackanin said. "That might be my quickest hook ever."
Ken Griffey Jr. drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the first, and Ryan Hanigan scored on Sheets' wild pitch in the fifth before Edwin Encarnacion launched a three-run homer to center field in the sixth.
Estrada gave Milwaukee a 10-5 lead in the eighth with his ninth homer of the season and first in 143 at-bats since July 7 at Washington.
- The Brewers activated RHP Claudio Vargas from the 15-day disabled list. Vargas had been on the disabled list since Aug. 25 with a strained lower back. He is 10-4 with a 5.13 ERA in 25 games, including 23 starts.
- The Reds activated IF Pedro Lopez from the 15-day disabled list. Lopez had been on the disabled list since July 26 after his left cheekbone was fractured when he was hit by a pitch from Milwaukee RHP Matt Wise a day earlier. Lopez hit .184 in 11 games before his injury.
- Hanigan doubled down the left-field line in the fifth inning for a hit in his first major league at-bat.

Blame gets shared for dark side of reality TV fame
By Laura Isensee
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Television talent show contestants fantasize about fame and fortune but for some people, an appearance on one of the shows only leads to real problems of stress, anxiety, depression, even suicide.
But who is to blame when an everyday person becomes an overnight TV sensation and can't cope -- when Susan Boyle falls ill after failing to win "Britain's Got Talent" or when "American Idol" fan Paula Goodspeed, who was teased after a poor tryout, commits suicide outside the home of a judge?
Boyle was again making headlines on Monday when she was forced to cancel a performance over health concerns while on tour with other "Britain's Got Talent" performers.
TV producers and industry watchers vary in opinion, but they all say networks who air the shows, companies that make them and contestants themselves shoulder some responsibility.
Emotional stress can depend on "baggage (people) bring into a show," said John Lucas, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical School.
Some contestants may already be vulnerable to depression or expect a show "will change others' perceptions of them or ... their ability to contend with their ordinary day-to-day existence," Lucas said. "And neither is likely to happen."
Networks ask producers to screen potential contestants for mental health issues, said David Broome, executive producer for "The Biggest Loser," on which contestants lose weight. It enters its eighth season on U.S. network NBC this coming fall.
The types of screenings vary, but people who live isolated in small groups for weeks, as in hit shows "Survivor" or "Big Brother," go through more rigorous tests than contestants on talent shows such as "Idol" or "Britain's Got Talent." Continued...

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
We've all had interactions with the police, yes? Well, some times that can be a good thing, some times not so good. Within punk/zine type subcultures, it's easy to say "fuck the cops", and certainly there are MANY MANY times to say that, but then again, there are good cops out there as well, people who really are trying to make things better.
I'm making a zine this month called "Good Cop, Bad Cop", and it will be one of those flip-around zines where one half is stories about times…

"Get Smart" not nearly smart enough
Get Smart
By Kirk Honeycutt
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Get Smart" the movie has precious little to do with "Get Smart" the iconic TV series from the 1960s -- but then again, the movie has precious little to do with screen comedy, either.
This is a slapdash effort whose producers threw money and stunts onscreen instead of the satirical gags and one-liners that made the old spy spoof so memorable.
It's hard to see how this lame puppy will gain any boxoffice traction other than by waving the banner of star Steve Carell opening weekend. His younger fans, who wouldn't know "Get Smart" from "I Spy," might laugh at the overblown action swirling around their poker-faced hero, but are more likely to advise friends to wait for the DVD.
The film opens in Washington, D.C., where satirical remnants of the old TV series are visible -- like Carell's agent Maxwell Smart taking a musical march down a corridor of opening and closing sliding doors only to disappear down a telephone booth into the super-secret headquarters of his spy agency, CONTROL. The film then expands into a more James Bond second act set in and around Moscow and winds up in a stunt-laden finale in downtown Los Angeles.
The overriding factor here is that the filmmakers -- this would include ham-fisted director Peter Segal and the punchless writing team of Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember -- don't know what the joke is. Is this a spoof of an old TV series? Is this a spoof of Ian Fleming? Is this a Carell vehicle? No one seems to know, as familiar lines crop up in the wrong places and the timing of gags, so indelibly rendered in the series, misfires on nearly every occasion.
To his credit, Carell doesn't attempt to imitate the late Don Adams, the original Maxwell Smart. Carell's own brand of flustered dignity and disguised insecurity plays well enough. Carell's Max is less an inept spy who bumbles his way to success than an analyst-wonk out of his depth in the field.
Max's boss, CONTROL's Chief, is played by Alan Arkin, who manages to retain his dignity, while Max's co-agent and love interest, Agent 99, is Anne Hathaway, who manages to retain her beauty. She's a martial-arts babe rather than an adoring co-worker, as Barbara Feldon originally played the role, but that probably suits the times. Continued...

About Me
I am an experienced, creative and professional photographer looking to expand my portfolio to include more people, in preparation for plans next year. I am looking for both male and female models for TPF and am able and used to travelling. Mobile studio equipment can be used, studios or locations hired and some styles of outdoor locational shoot would work for me. I am specifically not after nude type shots other than anything particularly creative or artistic - in which case I might be flexible.
I have also gathered long term income from stock photography for years now and would be interested to discuss collaborations with models of all looks and types in regards to earning you money every month (50% of revenue). This is of course subject to acceptance, but if an ongoing income generated from a stock portfolio which can then be added to over time sounds like something you'd be interested in then do get in touch.

Yes in deed
I really liked Dr. Kon and his staff.
would recommend yo everyone
Dr Kon is the best of the best!
As always GREAT experience.
Always nice and knowledgeable.
Dr. Kon was fantastic. He sensed that I was a bit anxious about the prospect of open heart surgery and did a great job in explaining the risks and the relative safety of the procedure. I could not ask for better.
I feel fortunate to be able to have what I believe is the best care possible thanks to the entire WFUBMC team for over 13 years.
A good experience overall.
Not enough info given about how to prepare for - tests you are to have -
After waiting 2.5 hours for physician follow up, the doctor walked into the exam room and said everything was "fine." He didn't attempt to sit down and discuss test results. Before me or my family hds the opportunity to ask questions, he walked out of the room and was standing in the hallway and provided minimal answers to the very brief questions that I was able to ask before he left completely. I have NEVER been treated in such a dismissive way by any provider. I still know nothing about what follow up I need. Needless to say, I will find another provider who will actually spend more than 30 seconds with me.

I thought I'd give a little bit back to the community after beeing a lurker for some time. So here goes my hands-on report of my shiny new Traser P6500. Comments, suggestions and critics welcome.
The Motivation:
I was getting sick of having to remove my trusty Casio PRW-1300T before taking a shower or doing anything that might scratch the titanium bracelet.
I even had to buy a cheap $10 watch for work since the Casio scratches way to easily for my liking (I do EE maintenance work btw)
So one day I decided that I needed a daily beater which is replaceable due to its relatively low price but robust enough to ward off continued abuse from bumping into machinery, coolant fluid, oil and all the other stuff you find when working in the metal industry.
After reading up on the latest Casio news at watchuseek, I somehow managed to stumble over the (to my eyes) very interesting looking "Stocker & Yale Sandy P650". The high-prised Tritium (aka H3) illumination caught my interest, as well as the military spec to which the watch adhered. Unfortunately the watch is a rather rare collectors-item these days. A little bit of digging , however, revealed at least two exact clones of the mil-spec P650 which are still produced and sold today:
- The Traser H3 P6500
- And the Luminox 3001 "Navy SEAL"
After much reading here and elsewhere, I decided to go with the Traser for the following reasons:
- Only the Traser offers the authentic "sterile" dial from the original S & Y P650.
- A few users on this forum mentioned QC and/or QA problems with the cheaper Luminox watches.
First Impressions:
The P6500 ships in a very nice black box with "MIL-W-46374F" and MILITARY WATCH written all over it. The box is definitely a keeper.
My watch came with a Nato strap but is also available with rubber and diver straps.
The Nato Strap:
The Nato strap leaves a lot to be desired. It is made from some sort of cheap-feeling plastic and is very thin. Interestingly enough it is quite comfortable to wear once you get over its appearances.
Fortunately I knew about the less-than-stellar strap beforehand (thanks to you guys!) and ordered a couple Maratac Nato and Zulu straps even before I got the watch.
The Watch:
Well, saying that the watch "looks cheap" really quite doesn't fit the bill. It easily passes as a $20 children's toy from the way the plastic case looks and feels. I'm absolutely serious here. Only the solid unidirectional bezel movement betrays the actual quality of the inner workings. As you may recall, this watch adheres to a military spec which requires it to be - beside other things - anti-magnetic so the plastic-only design wasn't really a suprise.
Well, the good thing about plastic is that it keep the weight of the watch down. The P6500 in combination with the Nato strap is so light, you barely register that the watch is there!
The Illumination:
Now here came a big disappointment. By reading all the comments here about the H3 technology, I really expected it to be pretty bright.
Well, it isn't.
Far from it actually. The glow on the minute and hour hand is bright enough but the 13 other tiny tritium vials are rather dim. I'd estimate the hands to be at least 5 or 6 times as bright as the 13 other vials.
The watch can indeed be read in total darkness but claiming you could "illuminate a radio dial" via H3 is really a loooong stretch.
My Opinion:
- Inexpensive
- Second timezone (or a 20-minute timer) via bezel
- Acceptable illumination without the need to recharge in light
- Scratch-resistant mineral glass
- Very light casing (you don't feel any weight on your wrist!)
- The crown is well protected
- Very cheap looking casing
- Very cheap Nato strap
If you are into military-style watches and need a new daily beater, this clock is a good (but not perfect) choice. It is cheap enough that you won't shed any tears if you scratch or even break it. Just be sure to replace that Nato strap as soon as you can. The Maratac straps appear to be quite good and are cheap to replace if you ruin one. Not having to use any tools to replace the Nato strap is IMO a big plus over the rubber and diver bands, keep that in mind when ordering your watch.

Colorful Brazilian mural stirs controversy in Boston
By Joseph O'Leary
BOSTON (Reuters) - Like many famous works of art before it, a colorful mural that dominates a park across from Boston's main train station has stirred some controversy.
The 70-foot-by-70-foot (21-metre-by-21-metre) painting by Brazilian twin brothers Otavio and Gustafo Pandolfo, known as Os Gemeos, depicts a character wearing bright, mismatched clothes, his face wrapped in what appears to be a scarf except for his squinting eyes.
The work, which will be exhibited until November 2013, became a flashpoint when a local Fox television station quoted passersby criticizing the masked cartoon-like figure, which some found menacing, saying it should be removed.
The mural is painted on an air intake structure on the Greenway in downtown Boston's Dewey Square. The giant piece by Os Gemeos, which is Portuguese for "The Twins," is part of their first solo U.S. exhibition, now on display at the nearby Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston.
Jill Medvedow, director of the museum, played down the controversy. "This work of art is a joyful addition to Boston's skyline. With tremendous mastery of scale, painterly skill and vibrant patterning, Os Gemeos brings urban energy and a rich tradition of Brazilian creativity to Dewey Square in Boston. Good art gets people talking," she said.
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino also tried to defuse the issue.
"We don't need somebody out there to divide us and saying that's a racist thing, that's against a religion. It isn't," he said. "That was made to show a young boy out there and that's what I believe it is."
The mural was funded by the Institute of Contemporary art and private donations to the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, an organization that takes care of five of the city's parks including the one at Dewey Square. Continued...

The May 31 CBS "Evening News" spun a recent international health incident into ammunition for an attack on the pharmaceutical companies.
After the program updated viewers on the tuberculosis scare caused by one infected man's European honeymoon, reporter Nancy Cordes launched into the blame game.
"Why haven't more drugs been developed to fight disease with the potential to kill thousands?" asked Cordes, the CBS Transportation and Consumer Safety correspondent.
She then quoted a doctor who blamed the bottom line.
"Pharmaceutical companies live to make a profit and if antibiotics, for example, because they're used for usually 7 to 14 days, maybe as long as a month, can't generate the same kind of profits as a new cholesterol agent or the new Viagra, which a person might take for years," said Dr. Eric Nuermberger, an assistant professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
Nowhere in the CBS report, did Cordes include a drug industry response to that charge. But leaving the pharmaceutical industry out of stories on medical "controversies" or breakthroughs is not unusual.
A Business & Media Institute study found that nearly 80 percent of those stories exclude the viewpoint of the industry, failing to include either a company statement or spokesman.

It was nearly 11 p.m. on Tuesday, and Lisa-2533 felt compelled to start a new topic in the Tobias & Sara Room, one of 41 popular forums on CatholicMatch. It was a question she's asked before, one she's shoved to the backburner that keeps sliding forward:
"Are we all just too picky?"
She's hit on a hot subject – less than 24 hours later, the question has already elicited 35 replies and 143 views.
Lisa started the conversation by quoting an article that asks some tough questions: "Is it possible that we fuss and analyze and ponder and think way too much? Is discernment just a nice way of saying we prefer to procrastinate or that we are too terrified to decide on marriage?"
"What do you think?" she asked her fellow CMers. "Are we too picky?"
"Yes," wrote Cate-291547. "Our priorities are out of kilter. A lot of what people – more often women – do to themselves is what I call 'The Relationship X-Ray Machine.' They overanalyze, pick something apart, over think, beat an issue to death, ask every friend they've ever had…they talk to everyone except for the person they're with."
David-364112, meanwhile, advocated for a nuanced kind of open mindedness. "Our narrow expectations often foreclose our ability to realize God's plan for our lives," he wrote. "We all need to pay less mind to our own expectations and try to look at the world more openly. This does not mean that we must compromise our standards or beliefs. It does mean that we need to be open because what God has in store for us may not be (and probably is not) what we expected."
"Good point, David," Angie-241523 chimed in. "I used to think I had it all figured out and I had a pretty solid list of criteria in place. One day I realized that it was just me and that list…and it was not very good company. So…out went the list. I opened my eyes to the world around me. That was the best thing I could've done for myself. Once I allowed myself to be open to God's plan and to not question why or make excuses, I began to see the many blessings that He had been trying to bestow on me all along. After I opened my mind, my heart followed, which allowed me to meet many wonderful people in so many facets of everyday life."
Allen-580511 jumped in soon after, making the case for more reasonable standards. "Most of the criteria are arbitrary and meaningless – as opposed to things that matter, such as faith, character and so on – and all they are really doing is potentially cheating themselves out of a great mate."
Then Patrick-606389 weighed in, writing, "I will remain as picky as my conscience, scripture demand."
What do you think? What makes criteria reasonable? How picky is too picky?

All these games are for more mature gamers - please check the ratings.
And so begins Rockstar's The Warriors, based on Walter Hill's cult slice of 1979 celluloid that even today conjures a chilling vision of the, erm, past.
Taking its cue from the pulpy gang flick, players must guide The Warriors - street thugs wrongly accused of killing a rival boss - across New York to their own turf, beating up the armies of gangs that get in their way.
Brimming with lurid violence, the Rockstar Toronto developed beat 'em up depicts urban gang warfare long before rap, with leather waistcoats and Tony Danza bouffants replacing Kappa tracksuits and hoodies.
The result plays out like GTA on foot, but with a level of gritty violence that's never troubled the streets of Vice City.
While a lot of your time is spent looting and spray-painting rival tags, the essence of The Warriors is in its bone-crunching combat.
And the game truly nails it. Visually, The Warriors is beefy and beautiful, while the brilliantly moody synth music is like the best soundtrack John Carpenter never composed.
Even the voice-work reeks of care and attention, with many of the original cast lending their pipes to the proceedings.
Without a doubt this is the movie to game effort to which all others should be judged - even if most players are too young to remember the source material in the first place.
Now Capcom's slick zombie-buster finally lands on a console with mass appeal, bringing the greatest instalment in the survival horror saga to PlayStation 2.
Resident Evil 4 is simply the single best survival horror ever made, trouncing even the Silent Hill series for raw, visceral thrills.
Your enemies this time are no longer the shambling excuses for the undead that populated previous games, groaning like excited pensioners.
Set some years after the Umbrella experiment was closed down, Leon Kennedy is on the trail of the President's daughter, tracking her to a corpse-riddled European village where the locals are showing some frighteningly dubious symptoms.
Infected with a new strain of the T-virus, the rotting rednecks are angry, fast and deadly. Like velociraptors in denim slacks, these hicks can pack-hunt - communicating with each other by screaming and whistling through their remaining teeth.
True, the controls do not compare to the divine GameCube interface, and the visuals are not quite as sharp as on the Nintendo machine, but a slew of bonus features and different paths keep things feeling fresh.
Shaolin Monks has fight-fans playing as either Liu Kang or Kung Lao, entering a quest that explores their backgrounds as they progress through the game.
Although given that Mortal Kombat has always been about kicking all manner of bottoms, I am not entirely sure who would want to explore its mythology.
But the game offers its fair amount of guts and gore. Melting enemies in acid, impaling them on spikes or simply hanging them from meat-hooks are all on offer here. And Shaolin Monks features Mutalities that can unleash a room-clearing wave of destruction, and Brutalities, which really are nasty.
As an added bonus, fans can revisit classic stages from the original Mortal Kombat games in 3D.
It is just like hanging out in a 1992 arcade again, sans the basenotes of Special Brew. While Shaolin Monks is neither big nor clever, it is pretty to look at, controls well and delivers a visceral jolt of pleasure to the killing centre of the brain.

The Jobo photoGPS, also known as the Geotate Kato, lies part way between the stand-alone devices and the GP-1. It too is attached to the camera via the flash hot-shoe, but there is no direct data or power connection. Instead the device simply uses the hot-shoe trigger circuit to register when a photo is taken, and it simultaneously records the GPS location to its internal memory.
Later, when the photos are downloaded onto a computer the device is connected as well using USB, and the supplied photoGPS software compares and matches the recorded locations with the photos and adds the GPS co-ordinates to the EXIF data. The device runs on internal rechargeable batteries, and is charged via USB. Since it isn't running continuously battery duration is excellent. After a single charge the photoGPS was still operating several days later.
The photoGPS was also extremely quick to operate, taking just a couple of seconds to record a satellite signal. It was also the most consistently accurate of the five devices. Although it did fail to register a signal on one or two occasions, the rest of the time it was never more than a few meters from the exact spot. The only problem with the Jobo unit is its lousy hot-shoe adaptor, which is very loose and keeps slipping out of the shoe. It actually fell off the camera altogether a couple of times.
The Nikon P6000 is unique, because the GPS receiver is built into the camera. Once activated it remains running, and will place additional strain on the camera's battery, but like the GP-1 it does add GPS location data directly to the photos as they are taken. When I first reviewed the P6000 back in November the GPS worked perfectly well, reliably finding a strong signal and proving to be very accurate.
However when I came to use it for this trip it refused to find a signal at all, even when out in the countryside away from any possible obstructions or interference and under a relatively clear sky. It would still take pictures though, so I used it in conjunction with the Sony GPS unit. I took pictures for the ATP PhotoFinder using an Olympus compact that I will be reviewing next week.
