In most languages, warmth is associated with good stuff and cold with bad stuff. You feel warm toward someone (and even hot for them) or someone can have an icy personality.
Movie stars, bands or companies can all be "so hot right now." Or they can leave people "feeling cold."
Here at SFR, we don't need a fancy French theorist to tell us that we can deconstruct this hierarchy and see things the other way around. And so, in the spirit of celebrating winter and its frigid temperatures (and Oscar-bait), we present our Winter Movie Preview, wherein promising looking films are given icy cold ratings and crappy looking movies are dissed by being called hot. (Release dates are subject to change, most likely, in Santa Fe, for the frustratingly distant future.)

Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) directs this dramatic retelling of heroic Harvey Milk's story. In 1977, Milk (played here by Sean Penn) became San Francisco's first openly gay city supervisor. This made him the first openly gay person to reach any sort of significant public office in the United States—and it also made him an equally loved and despised figure in the culture wars. But tragedy struck Milk and San Francisco's mayor, George Moscone, when they were assassinated by one of Milk's fellow supervisors (Josh Brolin).
Cold or Hot?: Nothing can surpass the power of the 1984 Oscar-winning documentary about Milk, called The Times of Harvey Milk. Still, Penn's portrayal of Milk presents some amazing verisimilitude in terms of body movement and speech patterns. And this story is just
so important and moving.

Nobel Son
Randal Miller, the filmmaker behind the California wine-themed indie-hit Bottle Shock, which played in Santa Fe this past summer, returns rapidly to theaters with the zany kidnapping caper Nobel Son. The awesome Alan Rickman, most beloved (by me) for his droll and devious portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, stars as Eli Michaelson, a roundly despised, pompous, arrogant bastard of a Nobel Prize-winning scientist. Michaelson's ivory-tower fiefdom is torn asunder when his son (Bryan Greenberg) is kidnapped by one of his students (Shawn Hatosy). Things get even worse for Dr. Michaelson, though, when his son, who hates his guts, goes over-the-top Stockholm-syndrome and teams with his captors in an effort to extort and humiliate his father.
Cold or Hot?: Danny DeVito and Bill Pullman have roles in Nobel Son, making it an obvious nod to the '80s comedy classic Ruthless People, in which they also starred and which is also about a kidnapping/ransom situation in which the kidnappee switches sides. With a hot indie director and a terrific cast, Nobel Son looks like it might just have a chance at rivaling Ruthless People's dark hilarity.

The playwright and Oscar-winning scribe of Moonstruck, John Patrick Shanley, returns to directing—his last and only other effort was '90s Joe Versus the Volcano—with the Pulitzer and Tony-winning Broadway play-turned-Oscar-bait Doubt. Perhaps bitter about being kicked out of Catholic school in New York as a youngster, Shanley centers his story on shady stuff—including, of course, inappropriate touching—going down (possibly literally) at a Catholic school in New York. Meryl Streep leads as the prim principal of said school, who suspects a corpulent priest (Philip Seymour Hoffman) of abusing a black student. Amy Adams (Junebug, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day) is the young nun caught in the middle.
Cold or Hot?: With semi-controversial themes and three of the best actors working in Hollywood today in roles suited to their strengths, Doubt has multiple-Oscar
winner written all over it.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
Director Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) remakes the beloved 1951 black-and-white sci-fi classic with Keanu—Keanu!—Reeves in the lead. Reeves plays Klaatu, the alien visitor and intergalactic keeper of the peace. Jennifer Connelly is Klaatu's human homie and our species' last hope.
Cold or Hot?: The 1951 version featured a distinctly human-looking alien (no Star Trek-like forehead nubs or weird ears were even proffered) sporting a silver turtle-neck sweater and accompanied by a giant tinfoil robot; the 2008 version has a quazillion dollar effects budget. But will it have soul? Given the cheesy lines in the trailer (Keanu: "If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives.") and the queasy cast, the safe money says it will be effects-driven drivel, with the Cold War message of hope from the original either totally absent or lamely updated Hollywood-style for a "post 9.11 world." On the other hand, Keanu is most natural in roles where he is supposed to act like a personality-less alien, so this one might work. Nahhh…

Yes Man
Hewing rather closely to the thematic territory he explored in 1997's Liar Liar, in which his duplicitous lawyer character couldn't lie for 24 hours, Jim Carrey, in Yes Man, plays an unspontaneous guy who challenges himself to say yes to absolutely everything for an entire year.
Cold or Hot?: Saccharine as these movies sound, and ultimately are, they do also ask simple, but sort of profound, questions about how life could be different if we lived it differently, more courageously, more openly or more honestly. Though Carrey hasn't been terribly funny since The Cable Guy, way back in 1996, he does these sorts of sweet-yet-slapsticky films like no one else can.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
With the sort of plot device that, in a more intellectual mode, could have been scripted by Charlie Kaufman or, with a more slapstick tone, could have starred Jim Carrey, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is written by Hollywood heavyweight Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, Munich, The Insider and, lamentably, The Postman), directed by the ingenious David Fincher (The Game, Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac) and stars Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button, a man who ages backward. Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton co-star.
Cold or Hot?: Wouldn't it be great if you could get the bad-knees and weak-bladder (well, I guess bladder-control issues would still be destined to return) part out of the way first, before moving on to the vigor of youth, then the wonder of childhood and, finally, go out as an orgasm? On the other hand, puberty in reverse sounds pretty rough. Either way, this device seems like a great idea for an exploration of all sorts of ideas. Everyone involved with the production is a talent and, moreover, the effects in the trailer look awesome.

Child actor (The Andy Griffith Show) turned director of '80s classics (Willow, Splash, Cocoon) turned director of respected contemporary films (A Beautiful Mind) and not-so-respected contemporary films (The Da Vinci Code), Ron Howard presents a time trip back to an era when presidents who did illegal things were actually held accountable: the Nixon era. Yes, before Troopergate or, more locally, Blockgate, there was the originator of the suffix of scandal, namely Watergate. Frost/Nixon centers on BBC correspondent David Frost's 1977 "gotcha!" interview with Tricky Dick. Frank Langella (Starting Out in the Evening) plays I'm-not-a-crook Nixon, and Peter Morgan (The Queen) is Frost, hoping to prove, post-Watergate, that he is one.
Cold or Hot?: This one's easy: Its title includes the word "Frost," and it looks like terrific, anxiety-fueled fun.

Revolutionary Road
Based on the novel by Richard Yates and directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Jarhead), Revolutionary Road examines an attractive Connecticut couple in the '50s who reside in a state of domestic bliss, which, oh-so-predictably, turns into claustrophobic domestic hell. But, of course, you don't care about that. You only care that this couple is played by the reuniting titanic duo from Titanic: Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The Screener has only one serious critical observation: Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Cold or Hot?: Kate and Leo aside, Revolutionary Road looks to be Mendes' best chance to return to the critical darling status he enjoyed with American Beauty.

The Spirit
Comic book creator-turned-filmmaker Frank Miller—the man behind Sin City—returns with The Spirit, another gritty, super-stylized adaptation of a graphic novel (this time not by Miller himself, but by Will Eisner). Gabriel Macht (The Good Shepherd) plays The Spirit, a cop who returns from the dead to fight evil in not very well lit Central City. Scarlett Johansson plays a character whose name—Silken Floss—could be the name of a line of Victoria's Secret panties. Samuel L Jackson is the treacherous criminal mastermind, The Octopus.
Cold or Hot?: It's as simple as this: If you like Sin City, odds are you'll like The Spirit, too. If you loved Sin City, you're likely to love The Spirit. If you…you get the

Valkyrie takes its title from the code-named coup in which a group of German officers planned, during the height of WWII, to assassinate Adolf Hitler and end the war—which, if you haven't heard, really sucked. Tom Cruise is the eye-patch-sporting German national hero, Col. Claus von Stauffenberg.
Cold or Hot?: Valkyrie's director, Bryan Singer, has one of those classic Hollywood stories in which a director makes a terrific film (The Usual Suspects) and then parlays that artistic success into big budget paydays and ever-declining works of cinematic art (X-Men, Superman Returns). Valkyrie, quite likely, will be a continuation of that vertiginous artistic nose dive. If so, its descent will be matched only by the rapid decline of Cruise's (judging from Valkyrie's trailers, Cruise plays himself as usual—accent-free English and all) star-power, credibility and, it seems, sanity.

When Fox isn't having its big-mouthed bloviators spew nonsense about hip-hop on TV, its film arm, Fox Searchlight Pictures, busies itself by making money off of movies glorifying the music. Such is the case for Notorious, a biopic of Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls, who rose from obese, crack-dealing street hustler to megastar rapper and who also lived long enough to mention that rise in every single one of his songs. Perfectly Biggie-looking newcomer Jamal Woolard plays Big Papa. He is supported by Angela Bassett as Voletta Wallace, Anthony Macki as Tupac, Derek Luke as Sean Combs and Naturi Naughton as 'Lil Kim.
Cold or Hot?: You know what I'm saying? Oh, wait! I haven't said anything yet. OK, though Biggie may be the greatest rapper of all times and Notorious' soundtrack is sure to be bangin,' its director, George Tillman Jr., hasn't made a movie since 2000's disastrously sappy Cuba Gooding Jr.-vehicle Men of Honor. Now do you know what I'm saying?

jjj - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkThanks for the charging time test,was curious about that.
As for more devices with large battery maybe we'll see more but it's not all about sealing the battery,Moto did a couple of other things like use a thinner screen and populate only 1 side of the PCB.Ofc the touch layers are about to get thinner and Gorilla 2 is also a bit thinner so in theory it is getting easier to fit a larger battery.Problem is that the industry thinks 1 day battery life is the sweetspot and the marketing guys like thinner much better.so chances are that we'll see 6mm phones or less soon but not many will race to include a large battery in a thicker package.There is a next step soon to make em even thinner but,i'll let the phone makers figure that out . Reply
jontech - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkI liked the feel of the RZR but the thickness at the top was simply poor design. Now with a more uniform feel I want to see it Reply
mutatio - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkI know, right? I've been sick of the lopsided top end since the designs first came out. I find it a bit ironic that a non-iPhone device went with the built-in battery as that's one of the mantras the Apple haters immediately scream about. This phone sets a high bar for talk time, for sure, though I personally use my cellphone for mostly data related activities. Reply
pedro441 - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkSo if I'm not worried about computational advantages offered by the new processors and care strictly about battery life on LTE (and recognizing that predicting the future is hard...) which will better get me through the day? Reply
shabby - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkMy crystal ball says wait for the future to come and then decide. Reply
mcnabney - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkAt what time in the past 25 years has something bigger, faster, sleeker, smarter, or better NOT just been around the corner?
There will be something even COOLER coming out after Krait. There always is. If you need a new device, unless you actually NEED what the next generation has, just buy the device that is best for you now. Reply
pedro441 - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkYes, I take your point. I will submit, however, that the battery life of successive devices has not been subject to the rapid improvement that those other characteristics you mention have shown. Reply
nafhan - Thursday, February 16, 2012 - linkIf you're not worried about compute advantages. Get this. I'd guess most phones built on 28nm CPU's will use the lower power draw to allow smaller cheaper batteries not two days of battery life (at least not at first).
The Razor MAXX also the obvious advantage of being available NOW instead of some unspecified date in the future. :) Reply
piroroadkill - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkYou packed in a massive battery whilst still letting the device remain thin.
I sincerely hope every other manufacturer follows suit, fast. Reply
michael2k - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkIn both the 3G and 4G tests, we see very close to the expected scaling, and the RAZR MAXX easily captures the top spot.
Actually, in the 3G test we show the iPhone 4S has the top spot at 9.85H, so you either have a mistake in text or your graph is wrong. Reply
Brian Klug - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkThe caveat I meant to add was - among android phones. Fixed.
-Brian Reply
solinear - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkThe question that I have about the longevity of the 3g/4g is how strong the signal is. If the iPhone 4S has half the range of the RAZR, then we're really making an apples to oranges comparison. Reply
mczak - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkToo bad it seems the larger battery comes with quite a large price increase.
Actually the no contract price increase seems somewhat reasonable (649$ vs 599$) though it seems verizon tacks on another 50$ so it's 199$ vs 299$ with the same contract. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkThey do the same with all their android devices. Charge an early adopter premium on the latest and greatest until it's dethroned after a month or two; then significantly discount older models for customers who balk at paying anything upfront for their new phone. Reply
peevee - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkFinally a device which upgrades where it really matters! If it had ICS and were available on AT&T, I would go and buy it now. And I am very picky about this stuff. Reply
secretmanofagent - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkDoes this have the same screen splotches in low light as the Droid RAZR does? Went through a couple because of it. Reply
peevee - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - link"Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch" should have been properly named "Samsung Marketing Could Not Choose A Name Epic Fail II". Reply
mlj11 - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkPlease... You really think all the different stupid names are chosen by Sammy?
Trust me when I say that if Sammy could've had their way, they'd just slap on GALAXY SII on all the assorted variations of the phone and be done with it, reaping the rewards of a streamlined marketing campaign focused on a single brand in the process.
Of course it's the carriers who want different names for their versions! They need this in order to "differentiate" from the competition. Poor Americans, always getting screwed over by the greedy - and inordinately powerful - carriers. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - link"I guess that really illustrates what's wrong with the way that OEMs are specifying device "thickness" these days more than anything, as most intentionally cite the device thickness at its thinnest point. One other OEM has told me it's going to move to a mean thickness measurement, which seems to be more representative but potentially complicated."
Personally, I'm waiting for one of the OEMs to add back an old school slide out antenna so they can claim their phone is only 1 mm thick. (Minimum antenna diameter on a 2005 vintage Samsung.) Reply
Brian Klug - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkI wouldn't be opposed to a phone with an antenna bulge, if it actually helps things. Anyone remember the HTC Apache? :) http://i.imgur.com/5UJ4c.jpg
-Brian Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkI can't say I've ever seen an extra bar on my phone from pulling the antenna out. I'm more than half convinced it's purely decorative. Reply
Rocket321 - Thursday, February 16, 2012 - linkheh...they better not include one of those AND try to put the headphone jack on the bottom! Reply
sholling - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkThis is by far the best Razr Maxx review that I've seen so far and if my contract were up I'd probably buy one once it gets ICS. It's not exactly what I want but it comes closer than anything else on the market right now. For what it's worth the improvements that I'd like to see for the RAZR Maxx II are quad-core for the energy sipping 5th core, a 4.5" 720 advanced SAMOLED display, and a built-in 32GB of storage with official support for add in 64GB microSD cards. It's rumored that they work now but official support is better. Admittedly I'm a power user but it would be nice to be able to store 30GB of high quality music plus photos, plus audiobooks, plus a huge 3rd party GPS app with on board maps. If it saves me having to pack a high-end GPS and a high capacity audio player along with my smartphone I'd pay a premium. Anyway I have high hopes that Motorola will release something along those lines this summer - just in time to renew my Verizon contract.
One concern with the built in battery concept is that while I have no problem buying a new phone every two years for new technology I have a big problem having to get it fixed early because the battery capacity is down or even at 2 years because the battery is worn out. That's planned obsolesce like the 70s cars that fell apart as soon as the warranty was up. I've traditionally replaced my original batteries after 12 months and it sucks not to be able to do that.
Again a really nice review. Hard numbers (including the WHr conversion) like these trump the fluff I've seen elsewhere. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkAccording to iFixit the Droid Razr's battery isn't that hard to get at; so a DIY swap shouldn't be too hard if needed. Reply
sholling - Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - linkThank you that's good information! Reply
pandemonium - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkThe battery life is rather disappointing for web browsing, however. Have you guys considered running the latest versions of Opera Mobile to see if there's a better subjective result across several different devices?
I'm really curious to see how some of the Anna, Belle, and WP Nokia phones compare. I'm in the market for a new phone and the camera is the more important aspect of the device for me. It'd be nice to have AT broaden their testing platform to provide more comparison. :) Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkHave you seen our reviews of the Lumia 710 and 800?
We usually do a pretty comprehensive job with the camera especially, this time because the MAXX is just a normal RAZR with bigger battery I went light on details.
-Brian Reply
pandemonium - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkI had forgotten you guys did that - my mistake! I also didn't see the N8 review you guys did early of '11. Considering how cheap an N8 is now (off-contract), that may be my phone of choice. Unless its successor will be unrealistically cheap.
Any thoughts on using Opera for the browser life comparison? Reply
EXCellR8 - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkI picked one of these up over the weekend and have mostly good things to say. It was between this and the Nexus I opted for the droid because it had the bigger battery, better camera, and SD card. The battery does take awhile to fully charge, and I don't like some of the software that comes installed but those are minor grievances. I am anxious to upgrade to ICS but GB is fine for the time being. Overall it's a pretty nice phone, I would have liked a slightly bigger screen but the resolution is decent.
I'd probably give the device a 4.5/5 Reply
ol1bit - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkI like how the Rezound does on it's tinny battery. I guess I'll get the extended and beat the MAXX hands down looks like ! Reply
mikael.skytter - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkThank you for another great review.
As I was browsing through the phone benchmarks in the database the other week I noticed that this phone was listed there. Just out of curiosity, why was the benchmarks uploaded there before the review?
Best regards
Mikael Reply
Ryan Smith - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkOur backend is completely integrated, in this case our Bench system is tied into our graphing system. So we'll typically put a new product in Bench and then generate graphs from that, in which case if we don't set it to private mode it will show up in Bench before it's in an article. Reply
mikael.skytter - Thursday, February 16, 2012 - linkI see.
Thank you for the reply.
Best regards
Mikael Reply
shriganesh - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkWhen will Motorola release a GSM version of this awesome device?? Waiting with my fingers crossed! Reply
Brian Klug - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkI really hope they do as well, but there's no official word on when that device is coming.
-Brian Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkWell, its a start anyway. The device really isnt that much bigger. There is no reason why every device cant have at least 12 hours of web time. Unfortunately this translates into only two maybe 3 hours of playing a game that uses a 3d gfx engine after you've had the phone for a couple months. Reply
hifiaudio2 - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkI assume still no update to the device or firmware to get rid of the rediculous neon green push? I took mine back as I couldnt stand the colors on the RAZR. I doubt they have any plans to change, though. Reply
doobydoo - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkThey seem to have taken an existing device, improved it dramatically with no real drawback, and addressed one of the major flaws with 4G Android phones.
Great job Motorola. Reply
lafrad - Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - linkI've went through 4 batteries and 2 handsets on the Rezound, and *never* got that battery life.
4-5 hours with 1-2 hours of screen time on LTE was a MAX.... it would eek out 12 hours of standby time with no data sync (LTE on, why have the phone if LTE wasn't running?) ... and my LTE signal strength was often very good... Co-workers with a galaxy nexus sitting next to me, doing the same stuff, would *easily* get twice the battery life.
Would be interesting to see if you got a hand picked review unit or not... Reply
kyuu - Thursday, February 16, 2012 - link"Unsurprisingly we see an almost perfect 1.8x scaling here and get very close to the expected 21 hours of battery life you'd expect." Reply
failquail - Saturday, February 18, 2012 - linkHaving the thinnest/lightest phone in the world is no help if it spends most of it's time charging or switched off to conserve it's minuscule battery.
I replaced the default 1400MaH battery in my HTC desire with an oversized 3200MaH extended battery, I don't think i could ever go back to a standard capacity battery now...
I'm admittedly an unusually heavy user, but i think the phone should not have been released with anything less than a 2000MaH battery or there abouts, such a battery would have added almost nothing to the dimensions/weight but increased the endurance of the phone a great deal.
So heres hoping more manufacturers follow suit and offer a sane battery capacity option in their handsets :) Reply
brothamon - Saturday, February 18, 2012 - link3300mah... wtf why cant all phones have batteries like this.
My Galaxy Note has a 2500MAH, and its huge. It also gets quite good battery life. If this phone has such a big battery it should get the best battery of any phone to date.
I think the Motorola Xoom only has 2x of those same batteries.
however having it be non-removable = no buy.
= phones resale value is almost non existent.
and after 2 years its basically trash unless you want to use a screw driver to open it up and replace it yourself which most users will never do. Reply
Wolfpup - Saturday, February 18, 2012 - linkI wouldn't even bother thinking of them as a different size, despite 2x the battery basically. If I were getting an Android phone, I'd never get this one because of the sealed battery, but still it shows how Apple and the like SHOULD be able to radically increase battery life without too much larger size devices (and I'd gladly take something 2 or 4x as thick for the increased battery life too).
The iPod touch at least has a pitiful battery life, and it's only got a super sluggish A8 CPU, with a pitiful 256MB. Reply
MartinN - Tuesday, February 21, 2012 - linkThis phone is a killjoy for technocrats and enthusiasts - it prevents people from installing the latest and greatest software on it by locking the bootloader which Motorola has promised to unlock and failed to deliver on by end of 2011.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1... Reply
dickflanagan - Sunday, June 10, 2012 - linkIs it true that when the RAZR MAXX battery gets weaker with use (shorter usage times, longer charge times) the battery canNOT be replaced??
Is it also true that RAZR non-MAXX batteries CAN be replaced?
I typically use phones enough that battery replacements eventually become advisable. I'm in the market for a new phone, but I need the ability to replace the battery when the time comes.
Thanks for any help.

What a Day: AMD's CEO Dirk Meyer Resignsby Anand Lal Shimpi on 1/10/2011 10:26 PM EST
67 Comments
Back to Article
Sahrin - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkGiven the board's willingness to fire Dirk, I have to agree with Ryan's suspicion that there is "more to it" - after all this is the same board that stuck with Hector "Fraudrigo" Ruiz for waaaay too long while he ran the company into the ground versus Conroe.
That said, I think you're overestimating the willingness of the House Committee on Commerce to allow this deal to go down. One of the reasons that AMD's voting interest in GF is still so powerful is to appease the "no export" crowd on the right side of the capitol (and don't get me wrong, there are realistic concerns about sending cutting-edge process technology and control thereof to Dubai). Look what happened with Dubai World, and that was just a port operator.
I'm not convinced that there is "more to it" though. You have to admit that while execution under Dirk has been much improved versus Hector, it's nowhere near the level of nVidia or Intel. Another angle is that AMD is now flush with cash, and the board is unimpressed with the ROI achieved since the company has become more liquid (and that constraint has been lifted). They're seeing a lot of upside in the GF investment (remember, AMD still owns a good chunk of GF) - ironically AMD is the weak link in AMD's portfolio (ATI is the strong piece of the design house).
Still, I think the announcement of "wanting to be more agressive" makes sense. Dirk was a very good CEO, but if AMD wants to be anything more than Intel's second banana for the next 10 years, they're going to need to step it up - and the one thing that Dirk has not been is agressive. Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkWhat? Just because you have $$, doesnt mean you can create a miracle over night. Reply
Tormeh - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkI think that's exactly what it means. Reply
taltamir - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkor rather, exactly what they BELIEVE it should mean.
Dirk took a failing company, made it profitable and have cash. That sounds like a keeper. He tells them that he can't pull a miracle out of his ass and they fire him... To be replaced by someone like hector ruin who will promise them the sky and deliver the company unto its deathbed.
Trying to sale to the Government of Abu Dhabi (ATIC) is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect from them (what with GloFo), and is possibly what they WANT to happen, but that has to get the approval of the US government, and its not necessary going to happen. Reply
Mishera - Saturday, January 15, 2011 - linkDon't Know where you guys got the idea that Amd has cash. Look at the balance sheet. Amd has a lot of notes due over the next couple of years and from what it looks like will be in a relatively tight financial position. Amd has cut a lot of it's research investment too which makes the bobcat that much more impressive
I'm inclined to believe that investors are either upset about the lack of an attempt in the cellphone/tablet market or they want to sell the company, which would make sense as the first statements said he didn't "generate enough return to investors". Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, January 18, 2011 - linkHmmm I'll come back and post after his statement regarding the Board of Directors and act like I had more intuition about what this article said.
... so it came to be that BoD wants to move the company towards more of the mobile market, which Dirk didn't seem to be doing enough of. Sigh
BTW AMD has notes, but the huge Intel settlement helped. Reply
bah12 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkCorrect me if I'm wrong but wasn't there specific clauses in the Intel/AMD settlement that prevented the transfer of the x86 cross license in the event of a buyout. Without that license AMD becomes far less attractive IMO.
Although I agree that something more is going on, I don't know that a buyout is it. Of course my memory is not as sharp as it used to be so I could be wrong. Reply
JGabriel - Tuesday, February 15, 2011 - link
Not only that, but I'm not sure ATIC would be a potential buyer for AMD. Ryan's right that AMD's Board may hope for ATIC as their big payday, but what's in it for ATIC?
ATIC may well be better off staying out of the chip design / architecture business, so they can at least maintain the illiusion of fab neutrality for their other clients. Owning both a chip designer and a set of fabs won't be very reassuring to that chip designer's competitors. Reply
Sabresiberian - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkNot sure what an "aggressive" CEO looks like, but Dirk seems to have done a lot in 2 years.
;) Reply
sprockkets - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkTypical shareholders. Dirk was such a good long time AMD employee. But as it stands, what is left anyhow? They spun off the division that made the graphics in ARM devices some time ago, and the writing is on the wall for x86 based devices. Reply
Sahrin - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkLast I read, x86 represents 80% of all logic dollars. ARM shares the 20% with everyone else - including Power, nVidia, etc. Saying the "writing is on the wall" for x86 is like saying the "writing is on the wall" for PC's. Assuming that the writing is "we're making billions in profits every year selling more computers than our competition has - in their entire history, combined." Reply
sprockkets - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkThat's today. Seriously, do you need the next version of Intel's CPU? With mobile devices becoming powerful enough to do what you want, and the ipad selling like crazy, do you really think that desktop pcs are going to be relevant anymore?
Everyone says that x86 will still be made, but seriously, the consumer market is changing rapidly. At least GF has their future set if they start fabbing ARM CPUs for people. Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkWhen heat and power are a concern, yes. Gaming and high-performing workstations will still be desktop driven for atleast a decade Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkWhich accounts for what % of the market? Reply
erple2 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkIf you believe Sahrin's numbers, is about 80% of the logic dollars of the market. Which sounds to me like where you want to throw some SERIOUS resources.
Apple (and by extension its shareholders) would LOVE to be at that point.
Imagine, if your one little gizmo that's a tiny percentage of the overall market raked in 80% of the total profits of the whole market? Reply
softdrinkviking - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linki agree with you on that, but what percentage of PCs are "gaming and high performance?"
once the big companies see that the big volume profits are being made in the smartphone/ultramobile market, the monetary incentive for building on x86 erodes.
a big obsticle to replacing x86 has always been the absence of alternative productivity software, or its proliferation, but now there are plenty of strong options, and between ARM and the Google ecosytem, they have become more realistic,
We even have Microsoft talking about writing for ARM, and if that isn't enough, there is cloud computing and virtual machines to run old x86 programs on different architechtures,
i understand that it still seems like a long, long road to replacing x86, but it's totally possible. if things continue the way they are going, with people turning more and more to ultraportable solutions, there is no reason to doubt that ARM can be the defacto achitecture.
of course, that's all only if things continue the way they are going, for all i know, people could all just say "to hell with smartphones" and that would be the end of it, but i'm pretty hooked on the convenience myself. Reply
mgambrell - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkno matter how super convenient your mobile devices are, youll always need to turn to a pc to get real work done. Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkEven the current arch of ARM is very powerful. With Win8 supporting ARM it's only a matter of time.
If stuff like the Atrix catch on, expect form factor issues to be out of the way as well. Reply
mutarasector - Friday, January 14, 2011 - linkSmartphones & ultra low power portable mobile computing will never rival the heavy lifting capacity of desktops, period. Its simple physics: one will always being able to cram more raw computing power in a desktop form factor (by an order of magnitude no less) that simply cannot be replaced/superceded by mobile devices.
If anything, mobile and stationary computing will result in more of a symbiotic relationship, and 'vs' comparisons are a false dichotomy..
Both are here to stay. Reply
GotThumbs - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkEvery try encoding a video using ARM or an IPAD? I see a move to central servers for each household...and interfacing with them using tablets, smart phones, or networked devices like your TV. Eventually your appliences will network with your server which will be the brains of your home. You will always need at least one powerful system in each house, but most users tend to need very little in daily life. Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkthe only thing preventing it from happening is an app. Dual core 1.2ghz processors won't beat the desktop, but again, what about in 5 years?
What then when Win8 arm arrives? Reply
mutarasector - Friday, January 14, 2011 - linkGood points. I see the very same thing. Not only will we see central home servers, but it will even be affordable for home users to *redundant* home servers, possibly for different purposes. Reply
mutarasector - Friday, January 14, 2011 - linkDesktop PCs, be it mid towers, mini towers, or SFF systems will remain relevant for a long time because there will always be a need for content creation capable systems that mobile systems will just not be able to do (at least not as easily and effectively, nor anytime soon). Mobile computing outside of laptops/notebooks (while mobile and powerful today) are still not ideal workstations, nor as cost effective, from a purchase/maintenance perspective. Furthermore, power efficiencies and 'greenness' of mobile technologies can be incorporated back into desktops in a more cost effective and/or 'green' manner.
As for AMD's strategy particularly with Bobcat, the only real concern I have is that these being BGA are going to make them more expensive to replace from a Windows licensing concern. I wouldn't be as comfortable slapping OEM copies of Windows on these things if for ome reason the CPU dies on one of the mobos that have Zacates soldered on. Reply
bjacobson - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkhalf the smartphones have HDMI out, later this year we're getting ones with dual cores, next year we'll have faster dual cores and >1GB of ram.
Plug in the HDMI to your LCD, and use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse hey presto you don't need your desktop anymore unless you're a gamer. Reply
cjb110 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkor if your one of the guys having to write apps for your 'smart' phone, or design the hardware that you've plugged your hdmi into or create the fancy animations and effects you see in the apps or etc
So everyone needs powerful desktop pc's to exist, so that they can enjoy their fancy apps on their smartphones. Reply
Taft12 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkPowerful desktops need to exist, yes, but there don't need to be very many of them (comparatively) Reply
Mr Perfect - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkThat could work. The main drawback to smartphones being your only device is the interface, at least for me. A touch screen the size of an index card can't be your screen slash keyboard slash mouse for very long without it holding you back. When phones have wireless HDMI, keyboards and mice they could be taken seriously as the main device.
Or, said another way, your PC could be disconnected from all the peripherals and carried around in your pocket. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkSmartphones are significantly more expensive for what you get. Portability isnt important enough to justify the price premium for most people, especially as the fantasy wealth bubble continues to deflate. Reply
michael2k - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkI think you have it backwards; ARM has powered millions more computers than Intel ever has, and as it becomes more capable threatens to displace them in PCs, too.
As an example, over 300 million ARM powered Gameboys and DSes have been sold; likewise over 260 million ARM powered iPods have been sold.
Nokia alone sells over 110m ARM powered phones every quarter, over 26m smartphones.
The writing is on the wall; that profit you mention looks very tempting to the ARM powered widget makers who can hit 50% of the performance for 10% of the cost and 300% of the battery life. Reply

sviola - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkI think he was talking about profit. While ARM may be in a lot more devices, an arm cpu sells for $10, while a x86, sells for $100. So, probably the x86 has a larger part of the profit market. Reply

This is correct. They are making a lot of profit and more than their competitors ever have.
> selling more computers than our competition has - in their entire history
This is absolutely incorrect. In fact it is just the opposite. ARM sells more chips in a year than Intel has ever sold. Reply
JHBoricua - Wednesday, February 09, 2011 - link>This is absolutely incorrect. In fact it is just the opposite. ARM sells more chips in a year than Intel has ever sold.
The correct statement is that there are more ARM based processors shipped in a year vs. x86 processors.
ARM doesn't manufacture or sells CPUs. They sell licenses for their design and collect royalties. Reply
Stuka87 - Monday, January 10, 2011 - linkBoth a surprise and not at the same time. I personally think he was doing a good job. He had certainly done more right than wrong in my opinion. However, Ryan makes a good point.
Although I think the boards excuse of not growing enough seems like a cop-out. You can't simply grow just by saying "lets grow". The fact that he took the company from losing fist fulls of money to making a profit shows the company had significant amounts of growth from a monetary point of view. Although I understand some of that came from cost cutting.
But anyway, I hope this isn't in a bid to sell the company just so a few people can make some money. As I am not sure its in the best interest of the company itself (ignoring the wants of the investors to just make money). Reply

Osssua - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkMmm ... I am curious that you guys don't connect the Intel/Nvidia deal with the firing of Dirk. This is obviously something not planned. If you want another CEO you find it first, then you fire the current CEO. You don't leave the company with an interim CEO, no plan, and the scared shareholders elbowing each other to press the button "Sell stock". I would assume that the Board got pissed that $1.5B goes the way to Nvidia, instead of, why not, ATI. Reply
InternetGeek - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkThat's kind of a long shot but it makes sense if Intel's Tick-Tock sauce rubs on nVidia then ATI is in for a beating. Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkFYI: NVIDIA != ATI Reply
melgross - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkAMD already said why they fired him this way. The speculation surrounding them looking for a new COE would have swirled around, setting up too many rumors. This way, it's more straightforward.
But then, the board of AMD has always been a bunch of incompetent fools. Getting rid of him was just another stupid move on their part. If they really think that this is going to change anything, they're mistaken. Reply
vol7ron - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkRyan, ATIC are valid conjectures. What about health concerns?
I'd like to give him 2 more years just to see what'd happen. Reply
iwod - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkFrom the first day ATIC make a significant investment into AMD, it was bound to somehow control AMD.
The money from ATIC, comes from Government, then from Oil. And who uses the most oil? Americans.
I dont think AMD will be a simple outsold to ATIC, but through a connection of GF buying back AMD, ATIC further invest in AMD, and other third party owning AMD shares to take control of them. Reply
Phoenixlight - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkI don't know enough about what the Dirk's done for AMD to make a valid assessment of the situation but AMD really needs to market itself better, the general public need to know who they are. Reply
msroadkill612 - Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - linkWhich dirk did. all he said made good sense, unlike the drivel which came from the marketing dead wood he replaced.
It did seem a shame not to hold the TV and hand held divisions, but AMD was desperate.
These BOD guys (who are they anyway) are presumably the same ones who thought hector was a great guy for so long, and still gave him a great job at GF until he got caught blabbing secrets to an inside trading bimbo.
All very strange. Reply
ATOmega - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkThis sounds like AMD has decided to stop improving their product and want to switch over to a purely marketing-focused strategy. Typical 21st century shareholder-driven decision making. It's one thing to drag a company out of it's deathbed and make it profitable. But that's not enough, it has to be an obscene profit. Investors are gluttons to the detriment of even that which they profit off of.
A very premature decision and could quite potentially signal the demise of the company as we know it. Which is very unfortunate. For those of us who like Intel, we need AMD. Given how well he's done for AMD, the only explanation for his departure is greed. Reply

Matthew Barclay - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkI think some sort of stock manipulation is going on. They may want a dip in their value before announcing positive results for Q1 later in the month.

piesquared - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkamazing anand, you come out of the woodworks and write an AMD story. So it seems you have no problems writing about AMD when it's negative, but crickets chirping about fusion... of course you found somebody else to write a blurb about fusion at CES, but intel didn't want you to be associated with it? fraud. i guess that new ex-intel executive working here is working out just right for intel. fraud.

formulav8 - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkGet over it already.
Anyways, as a AMD stock holder this is bad news. I really think Dirk was the best man AMD had right now.
You know the biggest reason with his leaving is greed. I can't stand greed at all. It causes so many problems..... Reply
AnandThenMan - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linkpiesquared makes an extremely valid point. This site is dumb, deaf and blind on purpose when it comes to talking about AMD. Unless it involved a major launch which they can't ignore, or it's negative.
Anandtech LOVES Intel and takes great glee in writing about them, like a fan of their favorite sports team. It's painfully obvious, but has no place on a site that is supposed to be an unbiased source of information. Reply
silverblue - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkIf I remember correctly, Anand praised the Phenom II as "a true return to competition".
Ah, here we are...
I'd say that was a rather balanced review. Reply
Kimmono - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkWhen Anand start using software in the tests that are truly multi threaded, then the benchmarks will be a bit more realistic.
Also, who only use one program at a time? This is not picked up by the tests. Reply
silverblue - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkThat's a good point, however we're still a way off having properly multithreaded software being the norm so what could they do besides design their own multithreaded test?
Your idea could give more weight to AMD's idea of physical cores being the better option, though I'm not sure how much it would matter in the end. It might end up extolling the virtues of Intel's Hyperthreading approach. Reply

mAxius - Tuesday, January 11, 2011 - linki think what happened is the board saw nvidia competing in the low power arm soc market. The board probability feels that it is a market that amd should be paying more attention to that segment either with an arm cpu or an x86 cpu. X86 is still too power hungry at this time bobcat helps a ton though, i feel that amd will be getting an arm license and possibility purchasing an arm design firm soon. Reply
camylarde - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkAs long as I cna afford a flat with enough space for a table and a rig, im gonna stick with PC's. Only then when the screen projectors are sufficiently hi-res and affordable (ie. similar price range of the panels) and my mobile may function as a computer then IM gonna ditch that rig and still plug mouse and keyboart.
And only when 3d tactile interface is perfected then Im ditching keyboard and mouse. and start working (and playing) from my bed. If property values will still be in range to afford one own bed and a wall that is. Reply
Exelius - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 - linkLook at the market situation: x86 is not going anywhere, but it's obviously not going to be a growth market in the near future, and ARM is. Companies like to grow, and AMD does not have a large presence in ARM. They have a big decision in the near future as to what direction they want to take the company: move into ARM and mobile processors, or specialize in the datacenter.
And while AMD may have had a lot of successes on the engineering side, they've utterly failed on the marketing side over the last 2 years. The graveyard of Silicon Valley is littered with the corpses of companies who had great technology but couldn't sell it. That was ultimately Dirk's failing.
If AMD goes the ARM route, they become yet another ARM licensee. If they go after the datacenter, they still have to compete with Intel. I'm guessing they're giving up on the mobile side of things, but this isn't a market they can afford to ignore if they want to remain independent. Their financial situation is not one where they can just go out and buy a large ARM licensee. Thus, I believe Ryan's assessment is correct. They're waiting for a white knight to swoop in with either an existing ARM operation or deep enough pockets to buy one.
ATIC is as good a bet as any, but I wouldn't count out some of the larger companies out there. HP would not surprise me; they're not incredibly happy with Intel and they're big enough to actually fight them. HP isn't a great fit, but they're in acquisition mode and they're not super happy with Intel. Reply

Libra4US - Thursday, January 13, 2011 - linkEveryting is relative! Relative to Intel and Nvidia.
I am a long-time AMD supporter. Let see, even under Dirk's management:
It is at most about the same to two competitors, definitely not better if not worse.
The engineering results is from the wqhole engineering team, not a single person.
OK performance.
Just announcing that AMD has good products is a typical engineering style. How much have they been translated to income?
Poor performance!
Just keep saying how great is the APU and ask users stay tune. Has AMD demostrated to users and let them EASILY see how great it is. Stop using the technical terms and saying that the laest standard is supported ... Most users are not interested in those but just want to EASILY see truely how great it is. What has AMD done? Just the terms VISION, FUSION, ...
Poor, poor performance!!
So be objective. Overall, has Dirk done a good job? Yes, on if compared to Hector.
This is why a capable engineering person may not be capable anymore once got promoted to a higher position that reqiues the various capabilities in a lot more areas!!! Reply

WATCH: Kids reenact 2014 Oscar nominees
Little kids act out scenes from the 2014 Oscar Best Picture nominees in an adorable parody by CineFix.
In the video, the children dress up in character and perform scenes from American Hustle, Her, Gravity and more.
The kids only acted out a short snippet from 12 Years a Slave, with one of the child actors explaining, "This is the only scene the producers were shooting with kids."
Also, the children weren't so down with Philomena — so they skipped that one.
Check out the amazing video below!

The recent news that the Olympics will leave wrestling out of its events list is ridiculous and not likely to last long. Wrestling has been a signature event in Olympics history. It may have lost some of its luster in recent Games, but it doesn't deserve to be shelved. Without wrestling, Iran versus the U.S. in sports practically never happens. In fact, many intriguing international matchups take place in the sport. Wrestling is not a sport to make household names, but personalities do make their mark, including good, bad, and ugly ones. The sport can be very entertaining to watch as a spectator sport. It's mano-a-mano with skill, quickness, strategy, and lots of sweating out the details for a win, loss, or draw. Without the Olympic Games, maybe wrestling can pick up a more dynamic marketing idea to brand the sport better. It could be an event to award individual and team performances. How about a World Cup of Wrestling every four years? Why not? Cricket, Rugby, Soccer and Baseball all have theirs. If the Olympics can't show respect, take the medals elsewhere. A Wrestling World Cup could be rotated among continents, like the Olympics does. With some decent branding and a television partnership, a host country could turn a serious profit. Louden Swain would agree. Vision Quest, the awesome 80s high-school wrestling movie, is a reminder of how Wrestling can steal the hearts and minds of sports fans. This scene is the climactic end of the movie when Louden's season is on the line in a meet versus his biggest rival, Brian Shute. ***** Howard Alperin is Managing Editor of AmericanizeSoccer.com The post Shunned From Olympics, Should Wrestling Launch World Cup? appeared first on Midwest Sports Fans.

Spurrier still going strong
Published: Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 6:30 p.m.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — For a guy who didn't plan on coaching through his 60s, Steve Spurrier's still going strong at South Carolina as he nears 70.
He is starting his ninth season with the Gamecocks and expectations haven't been so high around his team since his "Fun-n-Gun" championship days at Florida from 1990-2001.
"You go like four, five years at a time," the 68-year-old coach said Sunday. "I don't feel much different than I did eight years ago, I don' think. Although my back's a little stiffer. Other than that, I feel my mind's still OK."
Spurrier's been exceptional the past few seasons.
He led South Carolina to its first Southeastern Conference divisional title in 2010, defeating Georgia and Florida on the way to the Georgia Dome. Spurrier's Gamecocks enjoyed consecutive 11-win seasons — a first in school history — and he became the school's career leader in coaching victories, adding that distinction to the one he earned at Florida during his 12 seasons there.
"If it was going south on us, no, I wouldn't want to be around a team that needs rebuilding," he said.
He already did that, struggling through much of his first five years at the school with a 35-28 mark before stepping it up the past three seasons.
Now, Spurrier's team is again the talk of college football because of All-American defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, last year's SEC defensive player of the year with 13 sacks.
Spurrier's still got an ornery side. Right now, he's ready to end the hype surrounding Clowney, the 6-foot-6, 274-pounder considered the top prospect for next spring's NFL draft.
He's closing practice because of autograph seekers stopping Clowney and others to sign anything they can. Spurrier's also miffed at those who use cellphones to take photos or videos of the workouts.
"Poor Jadeveon can't hardly get out on the field with getting somebody mad at him," Spurrier said.
Spurrier wants the focus on the team, which he holds is the only approach that will bring SEC success.
Spurrier wasn't sure how long he'd stay after 2009 when the Gamecocks went 7-6, losing four of their final five games. He wondered if South Carolina needed new blood.
Then began unprecedented run of recruiting success that started with Stephon Gilmore, now a second-year Buffalo Bills cornerback, and continued with tailback Marcus Lattimore and Clowney.
"I told Stephon that if he and I went to South Carolina, we were going to make big things happen," Clowney said.
The Gamecocks have gone 31-9 the past three years. They've beaten SEC East rival Georgia three straight seasons and hold a four-game win streak over state rival Clemson.
Spurrier insisted his team runs deeper than one Heisman Trophy hopeful.
"Maybe they think Clowney is the star player and everybody else is not up to his level," Spurrier said. "But they are."
Spurrier has been as enthused as ever leading to the season, says Gamecocks quarterback coach G.A. Mangus.
Mangus was a quarterback at Florida from 1988-91, including two years under Spurrier, and remained on staff for three seasons after that. He says Spurrier has always kept a balance between his life on and off the field
"That's probably why he's been as successful as he is," Mangus said.
Spurrier has rarely let his leisure time overtake his career. While some coaches grind things out 20 hours a day in April or May, Spurrier would be found on the golf course or the beach.
He was asked recently if having two healthy, talented quarterbacks in Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson made him sleep easier during the offseason?
"You mean when I was in Ireland playing golf or when I was in the Bahamas," Spurrier said with a laugh.
These days, the golf clubs are in the garage and the beach towels in the closet as Spurrier chases an SEC championship. He's having fun and feeling as vital as ever on the field.
"Hopefully, I'll leave before it goes south, of that I'm certain," Spurrier said. "The key is let's not go south."

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Spitfires are a desert breed of dragon. Their dull brown bodies contrast with their brilliant turquoise markings, and they only blaze brighter when these dragons fight. Spitfires are notorious for their territorial natures, and the wing-edges of most are ripped and tattered before their first year is out. Spitfires are also noteworthy for their brilliant blue fire, which is used not for hunting or fighting, but rather for making glass caves from the sand, in which the dragons can soak up the sun.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
