The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is in some ways quite an impressive device. It has all the features of a fully-fledged smartphone yet is smaller and considerably cheaper than most. However, it somehow doesn't quite all come together with it being compromised on performance yet not small enough to justify being so. It's not bad, just not brilliant, and there are better cheap Android smartphones out there.
Nicely written review, however I do get disappointed when it ends 'there are better cheap Android smartphones out there.' without continuing with 'like the (enter the better phone names here)' This seems a bit of a theme at trustedreviews and it would be great to give us the better alternatives without us having to become Inspector Clouseau!
@Chris 16 - The Orange San Francisco is an obvious example.
£99 on PAYG and unlockable for free, it has 512MB RAM and an 800x480 AMOLED (or it did... more recent units seem to be mostly TFT). Think it has the same processor as the Sony (MSM7227), which although only 600MHz has a decent GPU and seems acceptable to me. Perhaps the extra RAM helps.
Not everybody likes the San Francisco, to be fair, but I think at sub-£100 it's extraordinary.
I agree with simonm. I purchased the San Francisco recently and am very impressed. I unlocked it for free and then rooted it with Android 2.2 from modaco.com. It really is an excellent phone apart from the camera. HTC should hang their heads in shame for what they are charging for the Wildfire, Desire etc...
+1 San Francisco also has the micro-SD slot that Ed seems to think is a big deal in a budget phone. Definitely hard to beat at £89.99 from Argos.
Thanks for pointing me towards San Francisco guys. At this price point I may dip for a smartphone.
What next the HTC "Luton"?
From the review what I want to know, is the web browser may struggle with Flash when it supports it? I'm confused? Android update? does Android even support flash? or will it struggle with just flash heavy sites?
Any clarification most appreciated!!!
@Hank - Hahaha im not sure the Luton would have a great uptake, the San Fransisco is actually called the ZTE Blade (as it is made by ZTE) but it is branded and sold in the UK as the San Fransisco by Orange.
I would guess that flash is possible but with the (relativly) weak processor in the San Fran it wouldnt be a great experience, TBH I dont think any mobile OS has a particularly good handling of Flash websites at the moment, maybe the top end Android phones but ive even seen those lag. For a good Flash experience we will probably need the dual core processors that are coming out this year
I have this phone and there very few thing to complain about. Firstly the camera is very very poor, as the review tells you. I also think the loudspeaker on the phone could be a lot louder. it is acceptable, but I feel that it should have a somewhat louder speaker. When its in you hand and you play music it just feels like it should be louder. But the plus to this, is the positioning of the speaker you hand can cup it making it appear louder.....
Thanks a lot Stelph, the passage about Flash just confused the hell out of me. A new phone this weekend looks likely.
The San Francisco (or any other phone with a MSM7227 processor-- which includes the SE X8) won't get Adobe Flash support as it (currently) requires an ARMv7 processor (from what I have read it's not just the speed that is required but also the extended instruction set). The best we could hope for the San Francisco is Flash lite support.
Um.. what about Silverlight lol?
Hey, does anyone knows how can I unlock mi X8 for free?? I live in argentina.. and here I have to pay a lot for unlock!
Hi! this is a concerned customer, i bought an Experia x8 barely three
months ago and i guess among the many phones that i have used this has
given me the most headaches, 1st it goes off whenever it feels like, 2nd
i cant finish making a call without going off on its self, 3rd
overheating, i reported the phone to the shop where i bought and i was
adviced to uninstall some applications i had installed but this didnt
bare fruits, so here is my question: was these phone sold on discounted
prices because they were faulty or whats wrong? i cant imagine buying a
sony ericson products again.....please advice.
your battery needs replacement. nothing more, cheap on ebay..
This is by far the worst phone I have ever had! From the start I noticed problems such as not being able to hang up phone calls as the screen would go blank. I then had a new (but same model) handset, which had the same problems so it must just be the model. The phone has always been extrememly slow (even if i deleted all apps and data off it), turns itself off when it feels like and takes an age to do anything I need it to do- often a 10 second delay when I press buttons. Camera very poor and no flash. Finally due for upgrade so can't wait to get a reliable phone at last!
This was by far the worst phone i have ever had. I am not going to list all the faults with it cause ill be here till tomorrow listing them. simple answer is DONT GET IT!!

They come on every 6th time with your windshield wipers.
The pump is the one that is closer to the front end of the car at the washer bottle.
Easy way to test if its the pump. Have someone activate the washer and listen if you can hear the pump running. If the pump doesn't run its dead, if you can hear the pump what might of happened is the actual gear inside has failed not providing enough pressure to pop the headlight washers out.
I just had mine replaced earlier this year. I even managed to find a pump on ebay for $12 compared to what everyone else charges for these of $40+..
Ill find the link to my old post where it had a bunch of troubleshooting steps.

Dont believe us? But the news is cent percent true! This Christmas, Veena has shocked all with the news of her marriage. The Pakistani bombshell, who tried her hand at B-town,and is known for her dramas and tantrums, and who was also to have a Swayamwar out in public, got hitched to a businessman.
Without adding her usual loud and attention-seeking touch to it, Veena is reported to have married a Dubai-based businessman, plus family friend, Asad Bashir Khan Khattak in Dubai, in hush hush tones. The nikah took place in a court in Dubai. The wedding was a guarded affair as Veena's mother is unwell.
It was made public and Veena took to social networking sites to post a pic of the wedding bands with her husband. But Veena Malik promises to have a gala reception. Veena Malik, after all! Has to be!
Controversy and Veena are names quite synonymous with each other. And Veena has her expertise of being in news for reasons controversial, since a long time. Since days Veena stepped in the Big Boss house, to her nude covers, to affairs and link-ups to her movies like Zindagi 50-50, to going missing, Veena has shocked all every step of the way. Had not the channel closed, Veena would have even held a swayamwar, as she was hoping to find her mate. And now Veena yet again bombed all with the news of her marriage.
Well! For all Veena Malik fans, if any, this is a heartbreaking piece of news. And for others, who are shocked by her acts in not-so-good way, should at least congratulate Veena, on making the decision of her life. Congratulations Veena! Hope you choose to stay in Dubai and not return to India! (Was it rude?)

Family devastated after learning fallen officer's name won't be added to memorial
by: Carol Sbarge Updated:
DORAVILLE, Ga. - The family of a Doraville police officer killed by a suspected drunk driver is heartbroken to learn Shane Wilson's name won't go on a state public safety memorial.
Channel 2's Carol Sbarge spoke to the family who said the decision is disrespectful to all police officers.
"I'm offended. I don't understand it. I don't see how people could be that heartless," said Shane Wilson's wife, Katy Wilson.
Katy Wilson said she is devastated to learn his name won't be put on the Georgia Public Safety Memorial.
His stepfather and mother, Jim and Gayle Hanson, both retired DeKalb officers, are devastated as well.
"The support is wonderful we've been getting and when you feel like you've been shut out of that, it's disturbing," Gayle Hanson said.
Detective Wilson's family was set to go to the Public Safety Memorial ceremony in Forsyth Monday and only found out by chance this Tuesday that in February the Public Safety Memorial committee decided he won't be added.
His name will go on the national one.
The director of the Georgia Public Safety Training Center Tim Bearden told Sbarge by phone that the criteria for a fallen police officer's name to be put on the national memorial is somebody that was killed on duty. He said for the Georgia memorial it's somebody killed in the line of duty.
"I don't know how you can draw a line that fine," Jim Hanson said.
A suspected drunk driver going the wrong way down the road killed Wilson in November as he was driving on Interstate 20 responding to a call.
Doraville police said Wilson was the on-call detective called in from home to go to a home invasion.
"There's not an officer out there that doubts that if they get in that car and leave their home on a call out. They don't doubt that they're in the line of duty," said Gayle Hanson.
"It hurts. This whole thing hurts. (We were) looking for a healing process and that was part of it," J.D. Wilson said.
The Georgia Public Safety Training Center director said in light of new information received this week, the committee will reconsider whether to add Wilson's name, but that would not happen until next year.
The family said that does not leave them with the closure they need now.

The last para is a bit harsh, but I know where your frustration is coming from. I, too, have ranted before.
I really want to know why no one keeps her in check. She is still young, but all attempts to discipline her are in vain. Her elders keep telling her to keep quiet, and she just doesn't stop! When she was younger still, someone should have taken some trouble with her. Shweta was too busy mollycoddling her, and Rishi was too busy mourning Indira.
Now, it has reached a stage when Indu can say anything she wants and no one can stop her. She walks into a lawyers office and no one in the house knows!
Off topic: There are too many illogicalities in the show now. The police has all the time in the world to witness a family spat. And the family has no qualms cleaning their dirty linen in public.
And we still do not know what happened in those eight years. If they want to disclose Zaara's identity as Indira, then they should have some solid 'story' that took place in the eight missing years. And where was Malik today? Has Zaara forgotten that she was chasing him?

Nate Silver takes the Hot Air out of Cato's stimulus attack
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
Right-wing blogger Allahpundit put some Hot Air behind a working paper out of the Mercatus Institute* in an attempt to attack stimulus spending as unfairly tilted in favor of Democratic congressional districts. But as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman noted, Nate Silver demonstrated that these results are entirely logical, thereby undermining any suggestion that the data illustrate a sinister political motive: The 18 congressional districts receiving the most stimulus money represent state capitals -- where much of the stimulus money is distributed -- which are far more likely to elect Democrats to Congress.
Trumpeting the research* under the headline "Analysis: Democratic districts getting much more stimulus money than Republican ones," Allahpundit stated, "That's the word from Cato scholar [sic] Veronique de Rugy, although she can't quantify how statistically significant the relationship is. There is a relationship, though. A big one." Allahpundit explained:
On average, Democratic districts received one-and-a-half times as many awards as Republican ones. Democratic districts also received two-and-a-half times more stimulus dollars than Republican districts ($122,127,186,509 vs. $46,139,592,268). Republican districts also received smaller awards on average. (The average dollars awarded per Republican district is $260,675,663, while the average dollars awarded per Democratic district is $471,533,539.)
Despite noting that de Rugy could not show statistical significance, Allahpundit concluded: "I'm sure everything's kosher: Surely a president who showed such fierce resistance to special interests during the ObamaCare process wouldn't let political considerations affect his stimulus awards."
As it turns out, everything just might be kosher after all. As Silver, the statistical analyst who blogs at FiveThirtyEight.com, notes, "A lot of stimulus funds are distributed to state agencies," which "are usually located in or near the state capital," and "state capitals are much more likely to elect Democrats to congress." With that in mind, Silver analyzes the distribution of stimulus spending:
[T]he study does not control for at least one other variable that is overwhelmingly important in determining the dispensation of stimulus funds.
The variable in question is in fact pretty obvious if you simply look at the districts that have received the largest amount of stimulus money, according to de Rugy's dataset.
The district that received the largest amount of stimulus funding in the 4th Quarter of 2009, according to de Rugy's tally, is California's 5th Congressional District. Is there anything notable about the 5th Congressional? Well, it is home to the state capital, Sacramento. Let's keep that in mind.
Next on the list is New York's 21st Congressional District. The largest city in the 21st is the state capital of New York, Albany.
Third is the 21st Congressional District of Texas. It contains parts of Texas' state capital, the wonderful city of Austin. (Another district that contains parts of Austin -- the 25th -- ranks 14th on de Rugy's list.)
At this point, it ought to be pretty obvious what is going on. The three districts receiving the largest amount of stimulus funds are home to the capitals of the three largest states -- New York, California, and Texas. Let's pause for a moment and make a bold prediction. I'll bet you that the district that ranks 4th on the list will contain the capital of the 4th largest state, Florida.
Bingo. Up 4th on the list is Florida's 2nd Congressional, home to Tallahassee.
Fifth is Pennsylvania's 17th, which hosts the state capital, Harrisburg.
The sixth through tenth districts contain the capital cities of other large states: Ohio, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois and New Jersey, respectively. They are followed by districts that include the state capitals of Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia -- then another part of Austin, Texas -- then Arizona, Missouri, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
Occam's Razor says that given two competing theories, the simpler explanation is better. But Occam didn't account for the fact that the simplest explanation often gets in the way of a good old right-wing conspiracy theory.
I previously identified de Rugy's working paper as Cato research and regret the error.

I'm looking for something on here that has an animation of 3 objects or more screwing themselves together. Something like a Screw spinning into a Nut then into another object, if that makes sense. Does anyone have something similar to that for After Effects? Or maybe someone can create something similar? Thanks!!!
can i try creating ? could you pls explain a bit more or have an similar example somewhere ?
Feel free to contact me at email@example.com is the project still available. I can send similar sample with your request and see my works at my site.
Thank you, Adam
Thanks for the replies. I've sent emails to each of you. Hopefully I explained things a bit better

It ascends from the parts to the whole, and forms, from the general analogy of nature, or special presumptions in the case, conclusions which have greater or less degrees of force, and which may be strengthened or weakened by subsequent experience and experiment. It relates to actual existences, as in physical science or the concerns of life. Logical induction is founded on the necessary laws of thought; philosophical induction, on the interpretation of the indications or analogy of nature. [1913 Webster] Syn: Deduction. Usage: {Induction}, {Deduction}. In induction we observe a sufficient number of individual facts, and, on the ground of analogy, extend what is true of them to others of the same class, thus arriving at general principles or laws. This is the kind of reasoning in physical science. In deduction we begin with a general truth, which is already proven or provisionally assumed, and seek to connect it with some particular case by means of a middle term, or class of objects, known to be equally connected with both. Thus, we bring down the general into the particular, affirming of the latter the distinctive qualities of the former. This is the syllogistic method. By induction Franklin established the identity of lightning and electricity; by deduction he inferred that dwellings might be protected by lightning rods. [1913 Webster]

Fremont County Library Foundation grants $20k for Riverton Community Room updates
(Riverton, Wyo.) – The Fremont County Library Foundation at its July 10th Board of Director's meeting, approved a grant to the Riverton branch library for $20,000.00 to assist in the Community Library Room Project. This grant is specifically for Audio- Visual equipment improvements; updating the current installation that has been in place since the building's inception. The grant was made outside of the usual mission of the foundation, due in part, to the Fremont County Board of Commissioner's recent commitment to fund the roof replacement of the Riverton Library.
Foundation President, John Angst, said "The Community Room is a vital asset to the Riverton branch and while the Foundation does not supplant phyiscal plant funding that is the responsibility of the County; we saw a critical need to kickstart the project. The Foundation did the same for Lander with the Carnegie Project."The Fremont County Library Foundation operates an endowment to assist the branch libraries in Dubois, Lander and Riverton and community partner libraries throughout the county.Tax deductible contributions can be made to the Foundation and will be matched, one to one, by the State Foundation Match program as enacted by the Legislature.

Download This Gorgeous Free Poster Showing the Evolution of Classic Cameras
May 9, 2014
If you're interested in the history of photography like we are you're going to love this gorgeous, illustrated poster from Retrofuturismo-Kitsch, showing the evolution of analog cameras over the years. The poster, which you can download for free here at its full resolution, begins with an ancient Camera Obscura and travels through time all the way up to the Sony Mavica in 1981.
Our only gripe is we wished it had included some cameras from the digital era. For that, you'll have to shell out $29 for this equally beautiful poster titled "A Visual Compendium of Cameras," which includes models through the Lytro and GoPro.

I bought this hoping that it would cradle/encapsulate your body---not true.I have tried others at various retailers and they seem to let your body sink into them much better.It is better than our 3 year old traditional/expensive mattres but not what expected.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Very Nice
By JB
from Maryland
We had a shipping issue that BJ's nor UPS could explain & it was shipped 5 days later than expected. UPS tracker had it ARRIVING in Maryland, then 8 hours later DEPARTING Kentucky! [a magic mattress?]. Once it arrived I couldn't believe the size of the box (small). The mattress is vacuum sealed down to nothing, folded in half and rolled. It was heavy to get up the stairs. Once opened it took about 30 min. to fully expand. Once you get in the bed you won't want to leave. You sink in and the mattress conforms to your body. If you have mobility problems, this bed is not for you as it is harder to get in/out of. We bought a Queen for our spare bedroom and will be ordering a King size for our bedroom. Hopefully the shipping will be better this time!

great mattress at a good price
Good things come in small packages
By Sleepin' Steve
from Long Island, NY
Don't be fooled by the relatively small size of the carton. It is all in there. It just needs time to breathe after opening, like red wine. Be careful when opening the carton and wrapping, if using a sharp edge, you don't want to nick the mattress. Be prepared to go right to sleep!
don't judge a book by it's cover.

By Happy Mommy
from Ct
Best Bed I have ever owned!!! It came all rolled up in a box. It was so easy to put it on my bed. It expanded to full size in less than 20 minutes. I had an adjustable air bed before this one, and I sleep so much better now. I feel like I'm in a luxury hotel every night!
Jury still out
By Sleepless in Andover
from Andover, Ct
This is the first memeory foam mattress I have slept on. I like the fact that there is little movement when you sit or lie on it. The cover has become detached and is a bit lumpy. I really don't sleep any better or worse than on my standard pillow top mattress.
We love this bed!

This is the best bed I have ever had. Wish I would have bought one sooner. Love It!

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
M. Ward
Released in 2001, End of Amnesia helped to further develop Ward's penchant for dusty, timeless narratives and bluesy, back-porch ballads, but it wasn't until 2003's Transfiguration of Vincent that Ward would begin to penetrate the mainstream. His first release for indie darling Merge Records, Vincent cashed in on the Great Depression obsession of the post-O Brother, Where Art Thou? gold rush, paving the way for 2005's Transistor Radio and 2006's Post-War, both of which firmly established Ward as a major player in the burgeoning indie folk/adult alternative rock scene. In 2008, after collaborating on a song for the film The Go-Getter with actress Zooey Deschanel, the unlikely duo released a well-received album of covers and Deschanel originals called Volume One under the moniker She & Him. Ward returned to the studio later that year to begin work on his next full-length offering; 2009's Hold Time, which featured guest vocals from Deschanel, Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), and Lucinda Williams, arrived in early 2009. 2010 and 2011 saw the release of two more She & Him outings (Volume 2 and A Very She & Him Christmas), followed in 2012 by his seventh proper solo outing, A Wasteland Companion, which was recorded in eight different studios and featured contributions from 18n different musicians including Howe Gelb, Bright Eyes' Mike Mogis, Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley, Devotchka's Tom Hagerman, and Deschanel. The album peaked at 21 in the US, his highest position on Billboard's Top 200 yet.
Following A Wasteland Companion, Ward returned to She & Him, who released Volume Three in May of 2013 and the covers album Classics in December 2014; in between these records, he also played on Neko Case's 2013 album The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You. Ward resumed his solo career in 2016, releasing More Rain that March. ~ Nate Cavalieri & James Christopher Monger

Carter Lumber Adds Some Stores, Closes Others
Window & Door
November 6, 2013
November 6, 2013
The Carter Lumber Co., which sells windows and doors from Ply Gem, Andersen, Jeld-Wen, Therma-Tru, Larsen and Silver Line, announced it has consolidated 26 stores as of November 1, 2013, mainly within the Midwest region. Carter expects less than 30 employees to lose their jobs as a result. The consolidation is a reflection of the company's effort to support its recent addition of 10 stores in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions during the last 18 months, company officials say. In order to support the growth, Carter consolidated smaller market stores, reallocated business to other stores in the company, or pulled out of markets all together.

I purchased these last week.
I wore them ONCE for about four hours and indoors at that. The gold on them is coming off. It's sort of like a foil over plastic material. The threads are coming out and they just look NOT good after ONE four hour wear. I have had other sandals from them and this has not been the case. I emailed Torrid about the issue saying I wanted to return the shoes. They sent me a fed ex return label and said that they will inspect the shoes to see if it is a quality issue or if it is a wear and tear issue. I had to giggle. But I don't want to send the shoes back and wait however long for them to say it was a wear and tear issue (if you look at the bottoms you can't even tell they have been worn). So have you all ever returned something of bad quality? What about just taking it to the local Torrid, might that be better? Would they accept it there?
I also wanted to add, while I know that they are cheap shoes, I think they should last longer than one wear. I've bought similar things from Payless for the same price and wore them for about a year (not everyday of course but you get my drift :D).
Any advice would be appreciated.

QUOTE (Ruger95 @ Mar 13 2012, 01:15 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I have been a NIkon user for about 3 years. But I am thinking about converting to Canon equipment. ANY THOUGHTS????
Why? My daughter has Canon dSLRs and I have Nikon dSLRs. I don't think the extra cost in buying new lenses etc will produce any significant visual or pixel peeping difference.
If you are using compacts Canon does have the edge, but in daily use who would know?
However the Nikon 1 series is becoming a superb buy if you want a CSC...despite the smaller sensor!

Publication Acceptance Date: 11/5/2008
Publication Date: 8/14/2009
Citation: Carta, L.K., Handoo, Z.A., Hoberg, E.P., Erbe, E.F., Wergin, W.P. 2009. Evaluation of some vulval appendages in nematode taxonomy. Comparative Parasitology. 76(2):191-209. Interpretive Summary: Plant parasitic nematodes are microscopic worms that cause ten billion dollars of crop losses each year in the United States. Determining which nematodes are causing crop damage is difficult because of two problems facing nematode identifiers: the minuteness of the anatomical structures used for identification and the different names used to describe similar anatomical structures. Therefore, this paper documents and illustrates the numerous structures on the nematode surface in the vicinity of the nematode vulva; moreover, uniform terminology is used instead of the multiple terms present in scientific literature. The results are significant because these structures can now be reliably compared to each other in order to more accurately identify nematodes or compare the relationships between different groups of nematodes. Therefore, this information will be used by other researchers to identify nematodes or study the relationships between them.
Technical Abstract: A survey of the nature and phylogenetic distribution of nematode vulval appendages revealed three major classes based on composition, position and orientation: membranes, flaps, and epiptygma. Minor classes included cuticular inflations, vulval tubes of extruded gonadal tissues, vulval ridges, and peri-vulval pits. Vulval membranes were found in Mermithida, Chromadorida, Rhabditidae, Panagrolaimidae, Tylenchida and Trichostrongylidae. Vulval flaps were found in Desmodoroidea, Mermithidae, Oxyurida, Tylenchida, Rhabditida and Trichostrongyloidea. Epiptygmata were present within Aphelenchida, Tylenchida, Rhabditida, Steinernematidae (recently moved to Panagrolaimomorpha), and Enoplida. Within the Rhabditida, vulval ridges occurred in Cervidellus (Cephalobidae), peri-vulval pits in Strongyloides spp. (Strongyloidoidea), and cuticular inflations in Trichostrongylidae. Vulval membranes have been confused with persistent copulatory sacs deposited by males, and some putative appendages may be artifactual. Vulval appendages occurred almost exclusively in commensal or parasitic nematode taxa. Nematodes with vulval membranes also had caudal alae within Tylenchida, Aphelenchida and Rhabditoidea but not in parasitic Mermithida. Appendages are discussed based on their relative taxonomic reliability, ecological associations, and distribution in the context of a molecular phylogenetic tree for the nematodes. Characters were found to be distributed across subsets of terminal and phylogenetically distant taxa, demonstrating considerable homoplasy. Accurate definitions, terminology and documentation of the taxonomic distribution of vulval appendages are important in evaluations of hypotheses for either parallelism and developmental constraint or convergence and adaptation using a candidate gene approach to the evolution of these characters.

In a move that would mark it out as the world's fastest mobile network, EE has confirmed that it will trial 300Mbps connection speeds later this year.
With the UK's leading 4G network already offering speeds of up to 150Mbps second, EE has confirmed that its 300Mbps 4G trials will take place in a matter of weeks, with the plans to rollout services capable of those speeds in 2014.
"To further extend its mobile data leadership, in November EE will reveal more details on plans to trial the latest 4G speed technology, offering speeds up to 300Mbps in London this year, with wider rollout planned for 2014," and official spokesperson for the company has stated.
They added: "The EE network is already the joint fastest network in the world, and this move will make the network the number one for speed."
Although there are not currently any handsets on the market which would be able to utilise such services, EE has suggested that the first phones capable of such speeds will make it to market in the latter part of the first half 2014. The network has suggest this timeframe would fit with its rollout plans.
With no phones able to capitalise on 300Mbps 4G speeds, EE has revealed that both Huawei and Samsung are currently piecing together 4G dongles which will be used in the company's upcoming tests.
To put the claimed 300Mbps speeds into context, EE has revealed that its new 4GEE Extra tariffs, which offer an average speed of 60Mbps, will allow users to download an album in just 10 seconds and a full feature film in roughly two minutes.
Do you want faster 4G speeds or would you rather more comprehensive national coverage at current speeds? Let us know via the comments section below.

The genuine Cdr4_xp.sys file is a software component of Drag-to-Disc by Roxio.
This is a driver file for Drag-to-Disc from Roxio. Drag-to-Disc allows a user to copy or delete large amounts of data from a compact disc. Copying files with Drag-to-Disc is a simple three-step process: Insert the disc into the recorder. Add files to the disc with Drag-to-Disc - a user can add as many files to a disc as the disc will hold. Files can also be overwritten and deleted.
CDR4_XP stands for CDR4_XP CDR Helper
Cdr4_xp.sys is a Windows driver. A driver is a small software program that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or connected devices. This means that a driver has direct access to the internals of the operating system, hardware etc. The free file information forum can help you determine if Cdr4_xp.sys is a Windows system file or if it belongs to an application that you can trust.
Run a free scan to check for Cdr4_xp drivers in need of updating
The process known as CDR4 CD and DVD Place Holder Driver (see PxHelp) or CDR4 CD and DVD Burning Helper Driver or CDR4_XP CDR Helper
belongs to software Drag-to-Disc or Napster Burn Engine or DirectCD or Yahoo! Music Jukebox or Sonic_PrimoSDK or Easy CD & DVD Creator (version 6) or Roxio Easy Media Creator (version 7)
by Sonic Solutions (www.sonic.com) or Roxio (www.roxio.com).
Description: Cdr4_xp.sys is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. Cdr4_xp.sys is located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder.
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 2,432 bytes (59% of all occurrences), 44,288 bytes and 6 more variants.
The driver can be started or stopped from Services in the Control Panel or by other programs. The program has no visible window. The service has no detailed description. The file is not a Windows core file. Cdr4_xp.sys appears to be a compressed file. Therefore the technical security rating is 32% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify Cdr4_xp.sys related errors
Important: Some malware disguises itself as Cdr4_xp.sys, particularly when not located in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder. Therefore, you should check the Cdr4_xp.sys process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of Cdr4_xp.sys: based on 32 votes with 36 user comments. 14 users think Cdr4_xp.sys is essential for Windows or an installed application. 5 users think it's probably harmless. 5 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 5 users suspect danger. 3 users think Cdr4_xp.sys is dangerous and recommend removing it. 7 users don't grade Cdr4_xp.sys ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with Cdr4_xp. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the Cdr4_xp.sys process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries.

The Startup Bug Strikes EarlierBy
• The Startup Bug Strikes Earlier
• Slide Show >> Entrepreneurs: Cream of the Young Crop
• Teaching the Startup Mentality
• Don't Let Ego Kill the Startup
Slide Show >>
There was a time, not so long ago, when a person choosing the entrepreneurial career path wasn't exactly greeted with rampant enthusiasm. Among the notable exceptions: Michael Dell famously started his eponymous computer company (DELL) out of his University of Texas, Austin, dorm room. And what would eventually become software behemoth Microsoft (MSFT) began life when Bill Gates was still a Harvard undergrad.
Both men eventually dropped out of college to pursue their wildly successful ventures, but their paths to fame and fortune were decidedly not the norm. For the most part, and for the rest of us, conventional wisdom held that to be successful, one got a degree or two and then worked for an established company. Tinkering and dreaming was left to -- ahem -- entrepreneurs, not serious businesspeople.
That was then. Nowadays, "Entrepreneur is no longer a dirty word," says Gerald Hills, an entrepreneurship professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and executive director of the Collegiate Entrepreneur's Organization, a network of student groups on 500 college campuses. "It's nearly what everyone thinks of when they think about opportunities. They think of entrepreneurs now." Shorn of its stigma, the once-risky career route is now viewed as a positive calling, particularly given the wobbly economy and the no-longer-sacrosanct benefits of corporate life -- pensions and job security are fast becoming relics of a bygone era.
The short-lived dot-com epoch that launched countless ideas into startup ventures before imploding also helped make the entrepreneurial route a viable alternative to the traditional job path. While a more sober reality has replaced the heady New Economy days, entrepreneurs are finding an expansive array of sophisticated resources, tools, and options for helping them start and operate a new business. More simply, the trail has already been blazed.
And while more and more young entrepreneurs may be embarking on the same general path, their destinations couldn't be more varied. Take surfer Matt Rivers, who five years ago used money he had earned dishwashing to buy the Pump House Surf Shop in Orleans, Mass. -- at the age of 17.
Then there's Alasdair McLean-Foreman, who started HDO Sport, a high-tech sporting-goods company in Cambridge, Mass., when he was a Harvard freshman and a member of the track team. And in 1997, Paula Yakubik, then 25, quit her job as a newspaper reporter and founded public-relations firm MassMedia in a rented cubicle in Las Vegas. Today, she has two offices in Nevada and over 30 clients.
Instead of flying blind, fledgling entrepreneurs of all ages can turn to a number of organizations and resources for help in nurturing a diverse set of ideas. Business-plan competitions with juicy cash purses have sprouted up all over the country. In September, the Small Business Administration announced a partnership with Junior Achievement Worldwide to launch a small-business portal for teen entrepreneurs, mindyourownbiz.org.
A number of networking associations are also targeted to particular communities of likeminded businesspeople and their specific issues. For instance, YoungEntrepreneur.com, based in Blaine, Wa., is an member-based Web site that offers advice, strategies, information sharing, and help in securing funding.
In fact, colleges and universities that once emphasized academics in recent years have established a number of entrepreneurial programs and incubators to help polish, educate, mentor, and develop those dorm-room eurekas into full-fledged businesses. No longer the exclusive purview of MBAs, many entrepreneurial programs are now geared toward undergraduate students (see BW Online, 10/25/05, "Teaching the Startup Mentality").
"I've been in education for 30 years," says the University of Illinois' Hills, "and I've seen a real shift as more and more students want to start a business. They don't necessarily want to wait to give it a go."
Five years ago, the University of Maryland in College Park, launched the Hinman Campus Entrepreneurship Opportunities (CEO) Program. The two-year course was established with a $2.5 million grant from alumnus Brian Hinman, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. It takes 35 students at a time, who must apply for admission. The program and its students are housed in a special high-tech dorm that's designed to give participants a residential learning environment where they experience an entire business lifecycle, from concept to execution to operation.
According to Karen Thornton, the program's director, while 75% of the students take part as a learning opportunity, 25% have actually gone on to create businesses from the ideas they hatched at Hinman. In recent years, Iowa State and Oregon State have launched similar programs based on Hinman's model.
Being an entrepreneur means making your own opportunities, and there's no telling where a good idea can lead you. After all, Virgin Group got its start when 15-year-old Richard Branson dreamed up a magazine called Student in his native London. Virgin Group is now an $8 billion global empire comprising some 200 companies in 30 countries, and in 1999, the celebrated founder became Sir Richard Branson when Queen Elizabeth II knighted him -- for "services to entrepreneurship."
