Sell in April and Go Away
NEW YORK (Real Money) -- In mid-March, I lowered my fair market value for the S&P 500 to 1335.
While a muddle-through backdrop of only 1.5% to 2.0% real GDP and modest (+5%) profit growth remains my baseline expectation, the market's risk/reward remains unfavorable.
My view was then and remains that:
- market participants are incorrectly assessing the trajectory of domestic economic growth (it is slowing, not accelerating);
- the political backdrop is not market- or business-friendly, with the growing likelihood that Obama will regain the presidency and that the Republican Party will likely control the House and Senate (gridlock and failure to address our fiscal deficit holds risks to the capital markets);
- a monetary cliff is approaching at June's end ("The Liquidity Rally Is Over");
- a fiscal cliff is a threat at year-end;
- there remains risk of further debt contagion in Europe (as risks in Italy and Spain have resurfaced); and
- a meaningful reallocation out of bonds into stocks is no longer likely.
I also have viewed the market's technicals as poor, and I still do:
- new highs are weakening;
- volume is tepid;
- transports and the Russell 2000 are trailing; and
- breadth is lagging, leading to a growing dependency on a handful of stocks in the NBA -- nothing but Apple (AAPL) -- market.
Many hedge-hoggers with whom I spoke agreed with many of my above concerns but were reluctant to reduce their longs because the market's price momentum was so damn good.
It will be interesting to see how those intellectual bears but practical bulls behave in the days ahead. Regardless of their course of action, my strategy is unequivocal.
Why wait until May when you can sell today?
Sell in April and go away.

Understanding Your Oklahoma Home Owners Insurance Liability Coverage
There are lots of things that can happen on your OK property that don't come to mind every day. It's scary to think of all the potential accidents that could take place. However, you and your Oklahoma home insurance companies have to think about these possibilities because you're liable for such uncertainties. And a certain amount of coverage is included in your homeowners insurance. Consider the following:
What if a neighbor was to slip on your Oklahoma property and break his ankle, or even worse, his neck? What if someone's child was bitten by your dog, or stranger still, someone else's dog that happened to be in your back yard? If you have a swimming pool or trampoline, there are any number of accidents that could happen involving neighborhood children. If you don't have either, you have a roof. Did you know that in some states, as insane as it sounds, people have been sued by burglars that have fallen from roofs while trying to break in? The possibilities are almost endless, which is why your OK home insurance policy has to cover you.
How Much Oklahoma Home Insurance Liability Coverage Is Necessary?
It used to be that Oklahoma homeowners insurance companies only recommended $100,000 for basic liability coverage, but because we live in an increasingly litigious society, in recent years that amount has increased to $300,000 or more in most areas. If you're concerned about the amount of coverage recommended by your OK home insurance agents, or you know about a lot of lawsuits that have happened near to where you live, you might wish to increase this amount, which shouldn't dramatically affect your premium. It's better to be safe than sorry.
When to Get Umbrella or Excess Liability
If you're concerned about whether your Oklahoma homeowners insurance policy has enough liability coverage to ensure you won't exceed your limit, you might wish to buy separate additional coverage called umbrella coverage, which will supplement your house insurance if your liability needs do in fact exceed the limits of your policy. When you get a OK home owner insurance quote, ask your home insurance broker about these policies and whether or not you might need one.

For uploading audio files (podcasts) and then embedding them in blogs and the like
closed as off topic by Eight Days of Malaise, phwd♦ Aug 16 '12 at 2:04
Questions on Web Applications Stack Exchange are expected to relate to web applications within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
So, I found a very similar question over at webmasters.stackexchange.com. I quickly gathered most of the relevant and non-broken answers here and answered that question. Here is that answer. Here are my favorite answers:
Others I haven't had the chance to scope out yet: | ||||
The one I have been finding best so far is Grooveshark.com ! | ||||
I'm not sure about uploading music, but what about Groveshark for music streaming? | |||||
Negative on the uploading, but Pandora lets you keep playlists and is pretty good at recommending new music based on what you "like." | |||
Lala plays music, enables you to match your own music library (and upload the actual files if there's no match), and creates and maintains playlists. It's an iTunes-like interface, which is even more appropriate now that Apple control them (as of December 2009). You didn't specify whether you wanted a strictly free site. Lala offers a lot for free, including uploading your own library, but adding new songs is 10 cents each and buying downloadable MP3s is around 79 cents each. Their download prices are competitive with Amazon MP3 and iTunes and are DRM-free, but be sure to check the encoding quality if that matters to you. | |||
Depends if you're talking about user created audio or licensed music. As for licensed music there are a huge number of options (some of these also have user created content mixed in): On the other hand if you are looking user created content:
| |||||||||||||
I like drop.io for this purpose. I can't find any documentation of a length limit, but there may be one. Another option is to set up a tumbleblog on Tumblr. Then again you can also just use YouTube, adding a picture, although they have length limits. | |||||||||||||||||
I would also add last.fm even though it is more like a personalised Internet Radio and doesn't work in every country anymore, but I still really like using it for discovering new Music and Events. The problem is always the copyright thing (e.g. YouTube had trouble with the German Copyright Agency and now they must remove Music Videos under their license for German YouTube visitors... don't know if they actually did yet). Most services are only localised (like Pandora and Spotify mentioned by William). So probably YouTube is still the best and most popular source for playing Music. One service that doesn't have that problem is Jamendo. It only offers music that is published under free licences. You won't find popular artists but browsing there might bring up some really cool stuff. | ||||
Tindeck provides free MP3 audio hosting. | ||||
People seem to use YouTube all the time for audio-only content as well... | |||||||||||||||||||||
If you're looking to post messages from your church, check out SermonAudio.com. | ||||
I recently discovered that archive.org has a huge library of audio files, podcasts, etc. AFAIK it's pretty simple to upload, too. | ||||
As soon as this problem is solved... | ||||
Entertonement Is very similar to youtube but only for audio. Plus it has amazing collections of soundbites that are fun to browse through. They don't mention any limits on upload lengths either, although they still might exist. | ||||
Maybe you can try fizy | ||||
| ||||
Manage your youtube audio :-) | |||||
http://freesound.org has a ton of free audio files available for playing online or downloading. I think it's better than youtube. | ||||
SoundCloud without a doubt.
This is the youtube for audio :D Its the stuff | |||||||||
While it's tailored for muscians, Sound Cloud is a really good tool for sharing audio on the web. | ||||

SCEE sorry Bozek is leaving the Sony UK "family"
SCEE's just issued a statement on the departure of SingStar head Paulina Bozek to Atari – announced this morning – saying she'll be missed.
"We are obviously very sorry to learn that Paulina will be leaving us," said a rep.
"She has been a huge part of our family at WWS and London Studio and we wish her all the best with her new challenge."
The developer has lead the SingStar franchise for years, joining SCEE from Ubi Montreal in 2003.
Bozek will be assuming a role as development director of a new London-based online games studio for Atari.

Paulina Bozek leaves Sony to join Atari
Update: SCEE just put out a statement on this, saying Bozek will be missed.
Iconic SingStar boss Paulina Bozek has quit Sony to take a job with Phil Harrison's Infogrames.
Bozek is now development director of a new online game studio at the firm.
"I am very excited to be joining Atari at this pivotal time for both the company and the industry," said Bozek.
"There is a huge opportunity as gaming platforms become more ubiquitous, more connected and attract more mainstream audiences. Atari has a great vision for the future and I can't wait to start realising that vision in new products and services."
Harrison, obviously, is quite pleased.
"This is a significant step in expanding Atari's online game development capability," he said.
"Paulina is one of the industry's most respected creative leaders with an outstanding track-record of commercial and creative success and I'm delighted that she will bring her unique vision, consumer insight and proven ability for creating amazing entertainment experiences to Atari."

SingStar PS2-PS3 compatibility explained
The PSBlog has been updated explaining just how the whole Singstar PS2-PS3 cross compatibility feature announced yesterday will work.
"SingStar track compatibility across PS2 & PS3 is enabled via the Disc Swap feature," says the piece.
"While playing a SingStar PS3 disc, at the song select screen, hit the [select] button to swap discs and play the songs from the inserted disc. The songs are not saved to the hard drive."
The feature will be delivered via a free game update later this year, apparently, and will work with all current SingStar PS3 discs. "It will also be included on future SingStar PS3 discs releasing next year."
Also, your PS3 won't need a firmware update either.
Well, glad that's cleared up.

GC08: "New" version of SingStar seen in Sony press conference rehearsal
Update: We've just found out that the next-gen of EyeToy's going to be shown in the conference as well as this stuff.
Too funny. Gamekyo managed to see some of Sony's press conference rehearsal at Games Convention yesterday, and watched a "new" version of SingStar feature heavily.
The French site also saw what is apparently the first in-game footage of Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain being shown, as well as a new trailer of LittleBigPlanet, with producer Pete Smith coming on-stage to give a final public walkthrough of the game ahead of its release.
Only part of the show was seen, so don't cry into your cereal just yet. Sony's conference takes place at Games Convention at 5.00pm CET today.
Thanks, Kotaku.

The dooyoo guide to trends in notebook and laptop computers 2009 - With ever increasing processor speeds, larger hard drive and wireless connectivity, the latest laptop computers offer unprecedented flexibility and computing power. This guide aims to help you select a model that is right for you depending on your computing needs.
Whether you are looking for a desktop replacement with multimedia functionality, a simple budget model, or an ultra light netbook as mobile as you are, dooyoo's buying guide will help you make the right choice. We will cover the key points you need to know about processors, screens and memory as well as providing an overview of trends and developments featured in the latest machines from Acer, Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, Hewlett Packard and Lenovo to mention but a few.
The dooyoo website combines consumer reviews and price comparison in an intelligent mix. We offers tests, opinions and the best prices all in one place and constantly updated. We show you current products and offer advice and information on selection and purchase.
Which is the right machine for you? - Determining which machine is most appropriate for your needs can be difficult given the huge range of laptops at vastly different prices and capabilities. The first step is to ask yourself what your computing needs are.
In 1965, Moore's law predicted that the number of transistors that could be placed on an integrated circuit would continue to double every two years.
This has proved to be largely true, with today's desktop and laptop machines now exceeding the kind of computing power that sent man to the moon.
As a consequence, sending emails, word processing, compiling spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and editing graphics (not to mention playing Warcraft) are a cinch with the right machine (though the software required to launch a space mission is not included with Vista).
Email, word processing and Internet access are well within the capabilities of even budget machines but they tend to be bulkier and heavier than their more expensive counterparts. They 're also slower in raw processing power and have smaller hard drives. If you are storing large amounts of photographs, video and MP3s on your machine, even a 80 GB hard drive can soon fill up. For processor intensive tasks like graphics, audio and video editing or the latest games, a Multimedia machine is a must.
Multimedia laptops can still be quite bulky and often have shorter battery lives, so if portability is a key factor then perhaps a sub-notebook or netbook is worth considering. If you are thinking about taking your laptop on the road, then weight is an important consideration. Other crucial factors are battery life, the additional weight of power adaptors and whether it comes with built in wireless networking or requires the purchase of an additional card. A light netbook that requires additional drives and has poor battery life has little advantage over a standard model.
The sheer power and versatility of multimedia laptops make them viable replacements for desktop systems but if your laptop never moves from your desk remember that desktop machines still represent better value for money in terms of speed and capacity.
In general there is always a trade off between portability and power but with companies like Dell and Sony offering systems configured to your individual requirements a balance can be found that will suit you.
In the following sections we will take a peak inside your laptop at the specs that matter: CPU, RAM, HD, and TFT.
Processor / CPU - The processor (or CPU) is the most important chip in a computer. Its speed (in conjunction with RAM, more about which later) determines how quickly your machine can accomplish the tasks you set it. With laptops there is a trade off to be made between processor speed and power consumption, with faster processors equating to shorter battery lives. It is worth bearing in mind that even the slower processors found in budget laptops (from 1.6GHz) are perfectly adequate for everyday tasks.
Processor speed becomes more significant if you are intending to run graphics, video or audio editing software on your machine (or play the latest games) but even the fastest processor will only achieve its full potential in these applications when combined with a generous amount of RAM and a decent graphic card.
The latest laptops feature core 2 duo processors. Dividing the workload of the CPU between two chips does not automatically increase the power of the machine but rather enables some applications to be run in the background. This is a particularly useful feature when scanning for viruses or rendering video, the kind of long and automated tasks which would otherwise tie up all of your machine's resources for the duration. This dual core approach can be found even in newer budget models such as core 2 duo T7200 or Turion 64 X2.
Single chip solutions such as the Pentium M, Pentium P4 mobile, Celeron M 430 and Athlon XP Mobile all offer a tried and tested balance between performance and power consumption, as does Intel's Centrino ('Centrino' is Intel's marketing term for how a suite of technolgies - the CPU, mainboard chipset and wireless network interface are combined, it is not a chip itself) range, which will satisfy the majority of users. Processors designated 'M' or 'Mobile' were developed specifically with portable computing in mind, generating less heat and making less demands on the battery.
The latest development in the Centrino range, the Santa Rosa or Centrino Pro chipset, builds further on its reputation for good integrated wireless connectivity and adds dynamic power management to further enhance the efficacy and speed of these processors.
Hard drive - Every year or so that nice Mr. Gates releases an operating system or upgrade that takes up even more space on our hard drives and requires ever more RAM. These upgrades combined with photos, videos, and MP3s makes his historic prediction about no one ever needing more than 1 MB of memory on a personal computer now seems something of an understatement.
Hard drives these days start at around 80GB but larger drives are well worth the extra money, as upgrading can be a tricky undertaking (in fact even budget notebooks can be found with 150GB drives). If you are intending to edit large photographs or video then internal hard drives up to 250GB are available and even laptops that feature multiple drives. The speed of a hard drive is also important when dealing with these kinds of applications, look for something with a speed of at least 5400rpm (ideally 7200rpm) for video and audio editing. Lesser speeds are fine for everyday tasks.
An external hard drive (Firewire and USB2 offer faster data transfer rates than USB1 drives) is also something worth considering, not least because backing up your data is imperative and in the event of a catastrophic hard drive failure (sooner or later it will happen to you!) an external drive, with a copy of your operating system on it, should allow you reboot the machine and find out whether it can be saved. At the very least you will be able to recover some of your data.
RAM - Active software applications are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory) and the more RAM you have the better those applications will run. Most laptops feature at least 1GB, which is (officially) twice the minimum required to run Microsoft's popular Vista operating system, however you will apparently need 2GB to see the flashiest of its new features.
RAM is relatively cheap these days, adding more to your laptop
is not difficult and should dramatically improve its performance. Even if you settle for the baseline specified RAM at the outset it is a good idea to check the maximum the machine can take with a view to future upgrades as these will often extend the useful life of your notebook by a few years.
Display - The most important difference between laptop displays is transflective (glossy) vs. matted (anti-glare), the former is better for photos, the latter for word processing and web browsing. High-resolution screens, WUXGA (1920-by-1200), produce great detail but are not ideal for text-based work. If your eyesight is less than perfect WXGA (1280-by-800) resolution might be a better choice.
All laptops use LCD (liquid crystal displays) in a range of sizes from 12" (ultra-portable, sub notebooks) to 17" (larger multimedia and desktop replacement models) the average is around 15", measured diagonally.
The more expensive TFT (Thin Film Transistor or active matrix) screens are better for use in direct daylight than the standard passive matrix LCDs. Consider a wide screen format display if you are going to watch a lot of DVDs on your computer.
Graphics Cards - Whilst many laptops use universal or shared memory to power the display and feature integrated graphics processors, gamers and those who make a lot of presentations using their laptops will benefit greatly from the additional dedicated memory found on a graphic card or video card such as the ATI Mobility Radeon X1900 or the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra.
These cards will considerably improve your machine's ability to deal with the fast refresh rates required in the latest 3D games environments but make sure you have enough RAM to see their full benefit and don't settle for anything under 128-bit.
Netbooks and ultra-portable models almost all rely on integrated Graphics chips so these models are not the best choice if online (or offline) gaming is your thing. It is worth bearing in mind that a dedicated graphic card will drive up the cost of your laptop and put extra strain on your battery however, as already mentioned, this is an essential consideration if you are a keen gamer as (with the exception of some of Dell's machines) this component is not easily upgradeable once you have purchased your laptop.
Removable media (optical drives and flash memory) - Optical drives (CD/CD-R and DVD/DVD -R) are to be found on most machines (the exception being a number of sub notebooks which dispense with these entirely to cut down on weight and power consumption). Even budget laptops should feature the ability to burn as well as read CDs and writable DVD models are becoming the norm (don't worry, these drives handle CDs as well). Of course someday CDs and DVDs will go the way of the dodo (or the 5.25-inch floppy disk) and Blu-ray has emerged as the latest high capacity storage format. Machines with Blu-Ray drives will deliver a quality cinematic experience to your laptop but if your intention is to use your machine as a multimedia hub it would be well worth investing in a high quality surround sound system and an extra screen. It is also likely that blu-ray itself will recede in importance once the studios stop squabbling and finaly agree on a common standard for streaming High Def video content over the internet, where pirates lead, commerce follows.
Some models feature slots for flash memory, secure digital and memory sticks, which can come in handy when using your laptop with digital cameras, camcorders and PDA's however since most of these devices can be hooked up to a laptop using a USB cable, dedicated card reader or even wirelessly through Bluetooth, their presence is hardly a crucial factor.
Users with data on floppy disks will these days most likely find themselves having to purchase an external drive, if you are working across a wide range of storage media it might be worth considering a model with a swappable drive bay, though for most users the writable CD/DVD combo should be sufficient.
Ports - USB is the standard means of attaching peripheral devices (e.g. a mouse / trackball , printer, external drive) to your machine. USB2 is considerably faster than its predecessor and is a more practical option for external hard drives and importing/exporting video (it also works perfectly well, albeit at slower speeds, with USB 1 devices). FireWire is also worth looking out for (though USB 2 matches its speed) if you have peripheral devices to connect that support this format (Digital Camcorders, hard drives). Just to confuse matters Firewire also comes in two flavors, the original version, FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) and the new and improved FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b). The new, faster version of FireWire is compatible with older laptops but you will need a new cable with an adaptor and again the data transfer rates will be at the older speed.
Legacy devices (such as that old dot Matrix printer you inherited from uncle Bob) use SCSI connections and are probably best abandoned to history at this point as converters (for USB and FireWire) can come at a premium and occupy valuable PCI slots that could be more gainfully employed.
Batteries - Battery life is a key factor if you are intending to use your laptop out and about. Whilst battery lives are constantly improving, as previously indicated, very fast processors, dedicated graphic cards as well as certain tasks, playing DVDs and CDs for instance, will all take their toll. If you are likely to be using your machine away from the mains electricity supply for long periods then a second battery might well be a worthwhile investment. It is also a good idea to check how long the battery takes to recharge and, most importantly, following the instructions closely regarding the charge and discharge cycle will greatly improve both the performance and lifespan of your battery.
Wireless - Wireless networking, the ability to connect your laptop to the Internet, other computers in a network, or peripheral devices, is one of features that make computing truly mobile. The Centrino mobile processor comes with many of these features built in, making it a straightforward solution to building networks. Alternatively consider the addition of a Wireless LAN card (fitted in the PCI slot) to take advantage of WiFi hotspots. Bluetooth capabilities allow your machine to communicate with your mobile phone but also make possible wireless connections to (appropriately specified) mice and keyboards.
Accessories - If you are planning to travel any distance with your laptop (even if only as far as the local internet café) a good bag is an essential accessory. Attractive and fashionable options can be found from Golla, WalkOn and Targus, all of which include extra space for drives, adaptors, cables, documents and are almost invariably cheaper when purchased online.
Laptops all use a variation on the theme of the trackpad which if used for extensive periods may well reduce your writing hand to a twisted claw. Consider purchasing a decent ergonomically designed mousel (Bluetooth or infrared, to remain cable free) especially if you are using the machine as a desktop replacement. A separate, ergonomically designed, keyboard may also be a worthwhile investment for those putting in long hours at the computer and if editing video or graphics on a regular basis an additional display is highly desirable. If you think that an extra display might be an essential purchase for you then check that the machine comes with a DVI port.
You will also, sooner or later, encounter the need for a printer. Laser printers are bulkier, more expensive but faster and the cartridges have to be replaced far less frequently making them the preferred solution for the office and for those with high volume printing needs. Stationary laptop users might also be tempted by an all in one model, which can function as a scanner, photocopier and fax machine as well as a printer.
Inkjet printers are far cheaper and can produce extremely high quality photographic output but ink is expensive and needs to be replaced frequently. Whilst Inkjet printers, by virtue of their price, relatively small footprint and near photo quality output, have been the preferred choice of the majority of home computer users for the last few years, it has long been suspected that the manufacturers of these devices are selling them almost as loss leaders and making massive profits on their highly expensive proprietary ink cartridges. In some models, replacing the ink cartridge a couple of times can cost almost as much as buying a new printer. Before purchasing an Inkjet printer, check that cartridges are widely available (preferably with a third party alternative that can be bought cheaply online).
Road warriors and frequent flyers will also want to check out the slightly more expensive (but highly compact) portable inkjet printers powered either by their own battery or from a USB port.
As previously noted a hard drive is an intelligent purchase for data (and software) backup. If purchasing an external drive it is worth noting that some of the smallest and most portable models have no fans built in (meaning that they run hot and are unsuitable for long periods of use) and draw their power via a USB port (do you have enough ports for all your peripherals or should you consider buying a hub?). For secure archiving of data as well as the ability to reboot and restore software to your laptop a drive with its own mains power supply is a must. For video and audio editing as well as other applications relying on fast data transfer rates, look for higher speed models.
Whether you need something small, fast and portable or a monster capacity super-fast RAID configured model (for video and massive databases) external drives are available from Iomega, Lacie, Maxtor and Seagate which will fit the bill and your budget.
For the home or office user that occasionally likes to work away from their desk but whose laptop usually remains hooked up to a variety of peripheral devices, a docking station (or port replicator) might provide an excellent solution to the issue of all those trailing cables.
Anti-virus software and properly set up firewalls are obviously essential when connecting to the net (Symatec and McAfee both produce reliable and regularly updated options) but you may also want to consider the physical security of your machine in which case an external lock is a excellent solution.
Budget Laptops - Entry level laptops can be purchased from between £300 and £500 and even at the lower end of this price range price, 80GB capacity hard drives, 512 MB - 1GB RAM, WLAN, internal modems and at least three USB sockets are standard features.
Example include: Acer Extensa 5620 and the Lenovo Thinkpad T400 2765
Desktop replacement or slim line - For between £500 and £800, build quality and power to weight ratio improves dramatically. The latest core 2 duo processors, massive hard drive capacities and generous RAM, mean laptops of this class are great all round solutions, being true desktop replacements but rugged and (in some cases) light enough to cope with the rigors of travel.
The Sony Vaio AR51E features a 17" screen, 2GHz of Intel core duo processing power and supports up to 4GB of RAM, though at 3.9kg it might be a more practical option as a desktop machine than a constant traveling companion.
The Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3540 features the Centrino 2 processors, up to 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive.
The HP PAVILION DV6623 (2.8kg) is another more portable alternative also boasting much of the power of the desktop replacement. Also worth a look in this price category is the Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 which, despite its mere 1.99 Kg, still manages to incorporate a 120GB hard drive, DVD burner and an integrated camera and microphone for those all important teleconferences.
We will take a look at some other ultra-portable options later but the slim line laptops in this price range (max 2.5KG) feature both a standard keyboard and (at least) a 12" display making them a more appealing choice than the ultra light sub-notebooks for many due to their lack of compromise in power, capacity and ergonomics.
Other desktop replacements worthy of note include: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3540, Acer Aspire One A110X
Multimedia laptops - Architects, commercial artists and 3D professionals (as well as home users looking for a multimedia hub and for whom power is more important than portability) will appreciate the high-end specifications of the multimedia laptop.
With generous widescreen displays, massive storage and RAM capacities, these machines also feature DVI output to enable lossless data transmission to a second display, projector or television as well as integrated TV tuners.
Top of the range models from Acer and Asus support HD DVD, while Sony's machines opt for Blu Ray (dual compatibility drives remain, to date, elusive).
No look at machines in this class would be complete without the Apple MacBook Pro MB470B/A unsurpassed in terms of design and much beloved of multimedia professionals.
Gaming Laptops - The serious game player has been traditionally ill-served by laptop manufacturers but this is beginning to change with a number of models featuring high contrast, glossy displays with the fast refresh rates necessary for needle sharp 3D rendering, as well as that all important dedicated graphic card.
Power consumption and weight mean that these machines remain better suited to indoor use and their glossy screens are calibrated with the gloom of teenage bedrooms in mind.
Dell XPS M1330 will satisfy even hard-core gamers
Models featuring earlier versions of the GeForce-Go chips (7800 GTX, 7600) as well as those featuring the Mobility Radeon X1800XT (or X1600) will all deliver the performance demanded by the latest games.
Sub Notebooks - The last six months has seen a explosion of interest in this class of laptop with Asus leading the pack, releasing a series of machines based around the Atom processormore than fast enough for surfing the internet and word processing but with a form factor about the size of a paperback.
Weighing in at no more than 1.5 kg, Sub Notebooks are featherweight machines capable of up to 9hrs battery life, however in order to achieve this, screens and keyboards are often smaller than that of a standard laptop and optical drives are sometimes dispensed with entirely. Look for models featuring UMTS/HSDPA in order to take advantage of WLAN Hotspots for Internet access.
Other sub-notebooks worth a look include: Asus Eee PC 1000H, Acer Aspire One A150-Bw-1GB and the Sony Vaio TZ21MN/N, Apple MacBook Air MB940B/A
Tablet and ultra mobile PCs - Smaller and lighter than even a sub-notebook is the tablet PC. Convertible Tablet PCs feature a screen that can be rotated through 180 degrees and many often use a special stylus for data entry. ULV (ultra low voltage) processors guarantee long battery lives but can't match the power of either slimline laptops or sub-notebooks. The other drawback common to many of these machines are their small and rather fiddly keyboards.
In fact these distinctions have blurred further as the form factor of subnotebooks shrinks further and the computing capacity of high end smartphones and PDAs increases.
Business notebooks - Business-notebooks are workhorses, which, until recently, had to manage without Multimedia bells and whistles. This is changing rapidly but key considerations should still be battery life (at least 4-5 hrs) and sturdiness of construction. Reflective screens can result in eyestrain if you are putting in long hours at the keyboard so look for laptops with a non-reflective 1,280 x 800 display.
Other features worth looking out for in this class of machine are DVI connectivity (for external monitors) and VGA (for video projectors). Higher end business machines also feature fingerprint recognition and TPM chips for additional security. Extras like a docking station and HSDPA (for wireless connectivity) should also be considered.
Toshiba's Tecra range offers an outstanding combination of build quality, processing power and value for money whilst the five hour battery life and 2.5kg weight make the Lenovo Thinkpad T61 another popular choice (though be sure to check your model has Bluetooth connectivity specified).
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and so the Asus Eee PC 1000H with its Nvidia 8600m GT Graphic chip and bright 1680 x 1050 display brings gaming capabilities to the business machine. Whilst the ability to keep track of the value of your virtual assets in Second Life (or relieve stress by tracking down the Spider Mastermind in Doom) may be a compelling feature for some, the absence of XP drivers (the V1S is a Vista only machine) may limit the ability to answer the Call of Duty.
Other popular business models include: Toshiba Tecra A9, Lenovo Thinkpad T400 2765, Acer Aspire One A110X, HP Compaq Business Notebook 2510p.
Luxury Notebooks - At the top end of the price range (1500 - 3000) we find luxury models for those who insist on the very best in design and build quality. Acer's, Acer Ferrari 3000 finds the company collaborating with the Italian sports car company to bring you a high-end laptop with red racing stripes. Panasonic's toughbooks (whilst not so easy on the eye) feature military grade components and housings, which make these machines as close to indestructible as a laptop is ever likely to get.
The highly covetable Apple MacBook Pro has a fiercely loyal user base, which is not entirely due to the marketing savvy of CEO Steve Jobs. Their reputation as expensive and underspecified machines is a little unjust as the stability of Apple's OS X and its relative immunity to viral attack combined with consistently innovative design, high resale values and the ability to run Windows are winning more and more converts. Even Apple's lower end MacBook models demonstrate categorically that a laptop can (and perhaps should) be a thing of beauty.
If bling is your thing, other high end models include: HP Elitebook 6930p , Toshiba Tecra A9, Apple MacBook Pro MB470B/A , Panasonic Toughbook 52.
Seven Top tips for buying a laptop -
- Identify your needs and your budget. Are you intending to use your laptop as a desktop replacement or is portability more important than sheer computing power? A combination of the two is possible but you might have to compromise a little either on weight or battery life. Remember that even the slowest CPUs will cope with most day-to-day tasks. Models that are a few months old will often be cheaper than the latest releases and still provide the specifications you need. Having identified your needs, make a list. Whether you decide to buy online or from a shop it is all too easy to be blinded by all those different specifications.
- Battery life is more important than weight.If you are a mobile user the life of your battery should be a key consideration, don't settle for less than 4hrs. Ultra lightweight machines often have smaller batteries (which may mean having to carry a spare). If drives have also been omitted to bring the weight of the model down you may also need to carry these, thus the advantages of owning a featherweight laptop will be quickly undermined and your 1kg super slim machine will require 3kg of accessories. Heavier machines also have the advantage of stronger build quality.
- Does the machine feature the ports you need? A USB hub is a relatively inexpensive accessory but your machine should have a minimum of three ports built in and remember USB2 is much faster than USB1. If you are using a Camcorder look for FireWire and check any specialized input or output requirements (DVI, VGA, S-Video in/out) that you may have as in some cases converters can be expensive or hard to come by.
- Don't economise on the proccessor. Whilst you may not need the power of the fastest and latest chip it is worth bearing in mind that the CPU is the laptop component that will become obsolete first and upgrading it can be tricky and expensive. 2 core solutions may, in some cases, feature lower clock speeds than their single core predecessors but their multitasking and dynamic power management capabilities have great advantages. Stick with familiar brands and opt for chips developed exclusively for laptops to maximize efficiency (and minimize heat).
- The speed of your hard drive matters as well as its capacity. A faster hard drive will see considerable gains in performance. Ultra fast drives were, until recently, relatively rare in laptops because of the heat they tend to produce but they are now appearing in some models. If you are likely to be using your machine for processor intensive applications (gaming and video editing for instance) then the speed of your hard drive is an important factor.
- RAM is always a worthwhile investment. It doesn't matter how fast your processor is or how big your hard drive; RAM, RAM and more RAM will go a long way in determining the performance you get from your computer.
- Consider an Extended warranty. In general Extended Warranties should be approached with caution but in the case of laptops may well be a worthwhile investment. Check the details carefully to make sure what is covered.
Summary - As we have seen, laptops come in all different shapes and sizes as well as a huge range of prices. In general older models will sell for less than the latest releases and often be more than sufficient for your needs. As with a lot of fast moving technology, features that today are only found in high-end machines migrate to tomorrow's budget models with alarming speed, however it remains generally true that you get what you pay for. Whilst there may not be a huge difference in the apparent specification of a budget machine and a luxury model, with the latter you are paying for build quality and reputable components not just sleek design.
Multimedia designers and obsessive gamers can still expect to pay premium prices to satisfy their specific requirements but for the rest of us the laptop is fast becoming a viable and appealing 'all in one' alternative to that space invading desktop system. If portability is a key factor, don't get over obsessed with weight differences of a couple of hundred grams. These are often achieved at the expense of the machine's robustness or by omitting features that you will have to carry around as peripheral devices.

Hot Stove: Rumor Mill, Dec. 29
I got nothing but rumors to discuss today, though I'm sure you won't mind that given the clarity that I will bring to each free agents potential for the coming season.
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Angels remain the most likely landing spot for Adrian Beltre. There are still rumblings out there that Beltre is seeking upwards of $85 million which seems like a crazy amount of dough to spend on a guy who is already 32 years old and one who has only one 30 homer season and just two with 100-RBI. Will the Angels bite since they missed out on their top target, Carl Crawford, who signed with the Red Sox? For more on Crawford give The End of Baseball? a read.
There are three relievers whose names are in the hopper right now as front burner type guys. Here are my thoughts on each.
Grant Balfour: On the Orioles radar, Balfour is the hardest thrower of this threesome. However, his average fastball is down two mph from its peak in 2008 when he was murder on hitters with a massive 12.65 K/9 mark as he held batters to a .143 average. He regressed in '09 seeing his ERA almost triple to 4.81 as his K/9 rate plummeted to 9.22. While his K/9 rate was even worse last year at 9.11, he was able to cut a walk and a half off his BB/9 mark down to 2.77 (a career best) and that was a huge key to his return to success (2.28 ERA, 1.08 WHIP). Somehow he has been able to avoid allowing homers year after year despite the fact that 45 percent of batted balls have gone skyward. At this point, he has proven that this is a trend to be taken seriously as his HR/FB rate has been below nine percent each of the past five years. A nice addition to any pen if expectations are kept in check.
Hideki Okajima: On the A's radar, Okajima is coming off his worst season – by a lot. He missed his career ERA by more than a run and a half at 4.50, while his WHIP was above 1.26 for the first time in four years at a sickly 1.72. Hideki also saw his K/9 rate dip one and a half batters below his career rate of 6.46 per nine, while his BB/9 was also a career worst (3.91). Already 35 years old, someone will take a chance on a rebound from Hideki and just write off last season as an injury induced slump, though I have my doubts it was only that.
Chad Qualls: Also on the A's radar, Qualls is the hurler from this group I would most like to see "my" team sign. How can I say that when his ERA was 7.32 last year? Am I off my rocker? Possibly, but hear me out.
(1) Qualls can be had on the cheap coming off that dreadful season, and that's a huge check mark in his favor with middle relievers getting massive deals this offseason.
(2) From 2005-09 he was one of the most consistent relievers in baseball. In that time he had never posted an ERA higher than 3.76 or a WHIP worse than 1.32 with an average effort of a 3.30 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP.
(3) Qualls is one of the best pitchers in baseball in terms of generating ground balls with a career GB/FB mark of 2.30. Even last season, when he was awful, he still posted a strong 1.95 mark. When you induce that many grounders, success will usually follow.
(4) Despite atrocious ratios last season, Qualls still pitched pretty well – and no, I'm not still hungover from celebrating my Sirius/XM Experts League Championship in fantasy football. Look at the numbers.
2010: 7.47 K/9, 1.95 GB/FB, 16.8 LD-rate, 55.0 GB-rate
career: 7.35 K/9, 2.30 GB/FB, 17.3 LD-rate, 57.6 GB-rate
So why the struggles. How about an utter lack of anything resembling even an iota of good will?
2010: 16.8 LD-rate, .399 BABIP, 53.0 LOB%
career: 17.3 LD-rate, .309 BABIP, 71.9 LOB%
Clearly, this guy left his rabbit's foot at home last year. His BABIP mark was the worst in baseball amongst pitchers who threw 50-innings, despite better than a career average line drive rate. That will not repeat in '11. Qualls also went from a slightly better than average pitcher in terms of stranding runners to being an abysmal failure as he was, again, the worst pitcher in baseball in that category (min. 50 IP). Given the totality of his work last season I'm betting on a strong rebound after last year's dismal showing that, quite simply, makes no logical sense.

LabelManet painted this quickly brushed picture of a French knife grinder while in his studio overlooking the Rue Mosnier, now the Rue de Berne, in Paris. The artist frequently depicted the myriad passersby he could see on the street below. The composition of this work is notable: there are vivid horizontals on the street and sidewalk, diagonals that frame the sidewalk and fade to a vanishing point, and a balancing vertical in the street lamp.ProvenanceSale, Manet, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, February 4-5, 1884, no. 57 (replaced at the last minute) [1].

MARQUETTE -- A panel of U.P. airport managers came together Thursday morning at an Upper Peninsula Economic Development Alliance meeting in Marquette.
They discussed some of the problems local airports face. A recent study shows the growth of our economy depends on the success of our local airports. One of their main problems is passengers heading to other airports because of high air fares and a limited number of flights. Another issue they face is the uncertainty of the Essential Air Service Program which helps smaller airports maintain commercial airline service.
"Direct communication with airlines is a start, and marketing efforts at the local level to increase our passenger volume is really critical as well," said Fred Kotler, Airport Project Analyst. Members say the discussion was a step forward in getting all airports and the community working together to increase the airports' success. Airport managers will create a comprehensive plan on ways to increase passenger loads.

Just got a copy of a graphic of the new Voyage trains.
As you may recall, we're getting a set of Timberliner trains, designed by the same engineers who came up with Voyage in the first place.
Just a few minor changes from the original graphic. Can you find them?
I see 3 things and one thing forgot.
The floor is now black(and will have a ringo lining texture to it so you don't slip getting in and out ) the lap bars are now blue not black and the sides of the seat are now black and not blue. FYI they still left out the handle that will be on the lap bar. They are the most conferable coaster cars I have ever sat in. Cant wait till opening day. Do I win anything? ;)
