Google Nexus tablet 7 has more than 600,000 apps(0) Google's recent announcement of a 7 inch Google Nexus tablet has caused a considerable stir in the tablet market. While Google has mainly stressed on competition with Amazon and has avoided a direct clash with Apple by not releasing a 10 inch tablet, people would certainly compare it with iPad as well. |
Rumors regarding the release of a new iPad this summer(0) Only three months have passed since the release of the new iPad and rumors have started surfacing that Apple is considering releasing another version of iPad this summer. The source which has claimed this happens to be Apple Daily, which is a Hong Kong based tech newspaper. According to this newspaper, Apple has been gearing up to launch another 9.7 inch version of its tablet as soon as this summer. This certainly seems to be very impractical, considering that the new iPad has been doing pretty good in the market. But nothing can be said for sure about the tech industry these days since the trends keep changes at a very abrupt pace. As per the details of the report, the updated version of the iPad would come with "indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) panel technology to allow the device to feature an even thinner design and longer battery life." Another important change that would be seen in the updated version of iPad, as per the sources, is that Apple would change the panel supplier for its devices from Samsung to Sharp. There has been a legal battle going on between Apple and Samsung for more than a year now, where each is accusing the other of patent infringement. May be Apple does not want to relay on Samsung anymore and has hence decided to strike a partnership with Sharp instead. There have also been other rumors regarding another iPad to be launched this year. Previously, a tech source claimed that Apple has been preparing for the launch of a 10 inch iPad in the quarter 4 of 2012. But so far there isn't any official backing of these rumors and everything is purely based on speculations. Besides, it seems highly unlikely that Apple would launch another iPad only three months after the launch of the new iPad. Apple also needs to work on the updated version of iPhone that is set to be released in the fall of this year. So to see what actually happens, we would have to wait for a few months. |
The limited space on 8 GB or 16 GB version of the new iPad can be a problem(0) While Apple fans are overall quite content with the new iPad, there are still many who prefer iPad 2. But regardless of the version, the limited space on 8 GB or 16 GB version of the new iPad can be problematic, particularly when you are traveling frequently. The Retina Display of the new iPad has turned many users from simple users to power users. People who previously used to only check mails and occasionally browse on their iPad now like to do much more things. Besides, the powerful processor of the new iPad, coupled with Retina Display, is a huge attraction for gamers. However, under such a situation, the 16 GB version can be quite a limitation and users indulging in too much use would certainly need to go for higher capacity version. There are many games and apps that exceed much more than 1 GB and a total memory of 16 GB seems next to nothing. Excessive use on 16 GB version would eventually force you to delete some of the previous content which you might not like. |
The updated features in iOS 6 would not be applicable on iPad 2(0) Bad news for the owners of iPad 2 and 3rd generation iPod touch: the updated features available in iOS 6, including Siri, would not be applicable on those devices. Apple has a sort of convention of supporting only the latest devices and this is exactly what has happened with the latest updated version of iOS. |
Technical specs and price of the new iPad(0) Apple has updated various specifications during the transition from iPad 2 to the new iPad. These changes include both hardware and software aspects of the device. So for a person considering purchasing the new iPad, it would be important to know the technical specs of the new iPad and what to expect. |
The new iPad has a clear edge over the latest Samsung tablet(0)
We have the latest version of the Apple iPad while Samsung has also announced the next version of its famous tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 during the Mobile World Congress. Among the Android tablets, Samsung's tablet is the most popular tablet in the market while Apple's iPad is, as we already know, the most popular tablet of all time. A brief comparison of these two giant devices is in order. A noteworthy aspect with regard to both these tablets is that you won't find many hardware changes in both of them, even though there are several software enhancements, among them being 4G LTE capability for both. With respect to the physical structure of these devices, even though Galaxy Tab is a bit thicker compared to iPad, its weight is slightly lower. The weight of iPad happens to be 662g while the corresponding weight of the Samsung tablet is 588g. With respect to the screen resolution, the new iPad has clear edge with its Retina Display, having a resolution of 2048 x1536 and a pixel density of 224 ppi. The resolution of Galaxy Tab 2, on the other hand, is 800 x 1280 pixels along with a pixel density of 149 ppi. When we compare the processing power of these devices, once again, Apple seems to have an edge. Surprisingly, Samsung didn't upgrade its device to the anticipated quad core processor and instead decided to retain the 1 GHz dual core processor along with 1 GB or RAM memory. The new iPad, in comparison, runs on efficient dual core Apple A5X processor, with its widely acclaimed architecture. From the software side, the battle between iOS and Android continues. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 would come with Ice Cream Sandwich which has an extremely well designed user interface while Apple tablet would run the latest version of iOS, that is, iOS 5.1. There was no update in the camera feature of the Samsung tablet as well and it remains to be the same 3.15 mega pixel camera with a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels and HD video recording in 720p format. Apple's new iPad, on the other hand, contains a 5 mega pixel rare and camera with 1080p video recording along with video stabilization. So basically the bottom line is that the new iPad has a clear edge over the latest Samsung tablet and its pretty evident that some fine hardware and software enhancements have been made by Apple while Samsung, although contrary to the expectations, didn't really impress the tech buffs. |
Apple is ready to issue refunds for the Australians users of the new iPad(0)
Apparently many of the iPad users in Australia are not happy with Apple because of the LTE concerns and for those users Apple is willing to offer the refunds. Australians users had massive expectations that the new iPad would fully support the 4G/LTE network offered by Telstra, but the device is not able to fulfill the required functionality. Due to this many users have been blaming Apple for misinformation. Apple, on the other hand, is ready to issue refunds to such users even though Apple maintains the official stance that the company never claimed that it would fully support the 4G/LTE network in Australia. This statement was released by Apple senior counsel Paul Anastassiou. Apple has also published the compatibility issues that are being faced by the new iPad in Australia on its website. Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is also considering taking Apple in court because of the same reason, since before the release of the new iPad it was announced that the device would be capable of the 4G/LTE technology and since the device actually fails to do so, this means misleading of the consumers. At present, the new iPad is available in two versions. One version works specifically for WiFi networking while the other one works for the wireless networks provided by mobile phone carriers. This means that the areas where 4G is available, in the United States, the device would work with this technology while the areas where this technology is not available, the device would operate with 3G capabilities. But the problem here seems to be that of the frequency band. In Australia, the frequency band used by the 4G network is 1800 MHz but the required frequency band for the 4G operation of the new iPad happens to be 700MHz or 2100MHz. This mismatch in the frequency bands has created problems for 4G support in Australia. There is, however, no frequency band mismatch in areas such as US, Canada where the new iPad works perfectly well with the networks such as AT&T, Bell, Rogers, and Telus. For the time being, there is no official statement from Apple about the kind of measures that would be taken to resolve the 4G compatibility issue in Australia. All we know is that users who are not happy with this outcome can have their money back. |
Pros and cons for buying the new iPad(0)
The new iPad from Apple has been here for some days now and it has been making a lot of headlines. While it isn't exactly an all new product from Apple, it does come with upped specs, especially with that Retina display that has wooed many. While Apple has already shipped three million new iPad tablets within three days of launch, it's time to see why you should or should not buy this tablet. Why you should buy it? The most significant feature and the first thing that you will notice the moment you lay your hands on the new iPad is its ultra-high, ultra-clear Retina display. With an A5X processor which supplements the tablet with quad-core graphics, you are able to get a very vivid tablet experience. Talk about having a true feel of gaming, surfing the web or watching movies. Also, the new iPad comes with iOS 5.1 which is incredibly refined and sleek. To put it in a few words, there are no glitches or breaks with this nifty piece of software. Also, Apple has been able to keep the battery life of the tablet constant even when all that power goes into juicing up the 2048 x 1536 display. That's a real achievement although there have been indications that the new iPad gets more warm than iPad 2 when it is working. Finally, for those who have wanted an Apple tablet with high-speed 4G connection, the new iPad is their dreams come true. Why you should not buy it? One of the major down-sides of the new iPad is that although it furnishes the same battery time as iPad 2, it takes much, much longer to recharge. Also, as mentioned earlier, the new iPad warms up a lot more than iPad 2 and you may have to put it down at times, which is further exacerbated by the fact that it weighs more than iPad 2 and is thicker (essentially a departure from Steve Jobs' philosophy of getting things only thinner). Moreover, whereas the new iPad does have a 5-megapixel camera which is really good, the front-facing camera still remains VGA. So if you were planning a FaceTime chat on the new iPad, that's still going to be a poor experience. While you may be all prepped up to spend a solid $500 on this tablet, you may feel a little disappointed because essentially, the only thing that significantly stands the new iPad apart from iPad 2 is its Retina display – and that distinction blurs when you realize that iPad 2's price is hovering near $350 since the launch of the new iPad. |
The new iPad has been jailbroken(0)
Most of the people who are planning to purchase the new iPad had not even gotten their hands on the device and we already have the news that it has been jailbroken. This is certainly impressive since the jailbreak of iPad 2 took quite a long time. This time, however, just a couple of weeks after the announcement of the device from Apple, jailbreak video has been released on YouTube. Watching the jailbreak of iOS 5.1 itself was not much of a huge task, but the limited time in which this has been done is certainly impressive. This came as a shock for many people since they thought that the jailbreak of the new iPad would also take as long as it took for the jailbreak of the previous version. |
Apple is drastically lowering the price of the previous versions of iPad(0)
Now that the new iPad was released everyone would want to have it particularly when it is quite reasonably priced. But it seems that Apple would make sure that the older versions of iPad keep selling and for this, Apple is drastically lowering the price of the previous versions. During the last Apple event during which the new iPad was announced, it was also announced that Apple would continue the sale of the previous version of iPad on a lower price. Apparently this move was a result of the constantly increasing competition in the market of the mobile devices. |

HoopsHype Landry Fields rumors
Al Iannazzone: The Knicks are not matching the offer sheet to Landry Fields, his agent said. Twitter
Nate Taylor: Toronto president Bryan Colangelo said he doesn't know what the Knicks will do with Fields. Twitter
Landry Fields' situation isn't as clear, and the clock already is ticking. The Knicks have until Saturday to decide whether to match the three-year, $18.7- million offer sheet Toronto gave Fields. Grunwald said the Knicks haven't decided about him yet. But when Woodson was asked about Fields' return Thursday, he didn't sound as if it is a priority. Newsday
From the moment Fields and Toronto agreed to that amount, it seemed unlikely that the Knicks would match it. But if they do, it will be because they were unable to get another swingman. "We haven't reached any decision at this time," Grunwald said. "We're still looking at that offer sheet and what other alternatives might be available to us." Newsday
Grunwald said little has changed on the Landry Fields, Jeremy Lin offer sheet fronts, although he said Knicks want both back but the press conference was not the time or place to discuss it. "We've been told he (Lin) has received an offer sheet from the Houston Rockets. We're waiting to see that offer sheet. I think Houston had some things to get through first in terms of timing. But like Landry Fields, Jeremy Lin, those are two young players that we'd like back here. We'll make a final determination when we need to make that determination. Now is not the time." New York Post
Mike Woodson was asked today whether the Knicks would match the offer sheet the Raptors gave Landry Fields and it didn't sound like they would at this point. "That's a Glen Grunwald question in terms of where we're going to go with that," Woodson said. "But as it stands right now it's all about the guys that we've already made the commitment to in terms of getting them where they need to be." The Knicks have until Saturday to match it. #Knicks Sulia
He said using the amnesty provision remains a possibility if Fields stays in New York, but didn't give the impression it would be a likely play and certainly not involving Calderon, who has too much value either as a trade chip or as a player for the team. Toronto Sun
Restricted free agent Landry Fields signed a three-year offer sheet with the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, his agent said. The New York Knicks will have three days to match Toronto's offer. ESPN.com
Fields' agent, Chris Emens, said he had no knowledge of the Knicks' plans to match, but 'wouldn't be surprised' if they decided to go that route. "However, I have no indication that they will do so," Emens said. ESPN.com
Marc Berman: Source said #Knicks likely to wait the limit on Fields offer sheet. Twitter
Michael Grange: Colangelo says #Knicks are "50-50" on matching Fields offer ... #Raptors #NBA Twitter
The Lin offer sheet should be a priority because no other move they will make has the ability to spur season-ticket sales than signing "17.'' The Knicks also will officially sign Jason Kidd, Steve Novak, J.R. Smith, James White and formally execute the sign-and-trade for Marcus Camby. It's a busy day for general manager Glen Grunwald, who probably won't match Landry Fields' three-year, $18.5 million offer sheet from the Raptors, with Smith now aboard. New York Post
J.R. Smith has strong interest in returning for $2.8M, which is a great price, but Raptors offer sheet to Landry Fields might have him wondering if he can get better offers elsewhere. Smith has to see that Fields' contract wasn't about basketball value, however, and it backfired. But money is money. Sulia
As the Steve Nash sweepstakes continued on Wednesday, sources confirmed that the Knicks have emerged as a serious threat to land the free-agent point guard. New York seemed unlikely to remain in the running after Toronto's power play Wednesday, when the Raptors -- which sources say have offered Nash a three-year, $36 million deal -- agreed with Knicks' restricted free agent Landry Fields on a three-year, $20 million offer sheet, railroading one of New York's plans to land Nash in the process. Sources say Fields was the player that the Knicks originally hoped to send to Phoenix in a sign-and-trade for Nash. The Knicks wanted to use that deal (or something similar to it) to pay Nash more than the midlevel exception they would otherwise be limited to (four years, combined $20 million max). SI.com
The Toronto Raptors reached agreement with restricted free-agent guard Landry Fields on a three-year, $20 million offer sheet Tuesday, believing it would disrupt the Knicks' ability to assemble the necessary parts for the Suns. Toronto has offered Nash a three-year, $36 million contract, but Nash has privately indicated a preference to play for New York if the Knicks are able to close the gap on the Raptors' offer. Yahoo! Sports
Marc Berman: While Fields' offer sheet to Toronto hurts Nash sign-and-trade, source close to situation says "It doesn't kill it.'' #Knicks still working Twitter

Tony Scott R.I.P.
Yesterday we lost one of the greats in film, undeniably one of the giants in the action film genre, director Tony Scott. The British born younger brother of director Ridley Scott, Tony Scott was 68, and jumped to his death from the Vincent Thomas Bridge in Los Angeles. A suicide note was left, and sources say that Scott had been diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. His frenetic quick cut directing style has been credited with making the action film what it is today.
Scott broke through in 1983 with the erotic vampire flick, The Hunger, taking his cues from the literature of Anne Rice to create a new type of vampire. Rice wouldn't make it to the screen for decades, so Scott brought her style to the screen with this. In a day when vampires are a dime a dozen, he reinvigorated the concept with the erotica that was inherent in the genre's source material. Much of our current vamp ideas owe a debt to this film's realization.

I do some Detroit to Narita flights--anywhere from 13 ~ 15 hours depending on the wind. I read, read, and read some more. I can not sleep on planes, especially fully loaded planes (and I have to fly coach), but I can zone out the world with a good book. Aisle seat so it's easy to get up and move around, good books, and take advantage of the free liquor.

Don't have the salad in the airport just before the flight! Last year, I flew 18 hours from Johannesburg, South Africa back to Atlanta. Just before boarding, I ate something "healthy" -- a salad in the airport. Began feeling queezy a few minutes before boarding, and spent the next 18 hours (and six days) miserable against the window in coach. Thank God for Ambien! I was able to sleep through half of it.
Have a great trip! New Zealand's on my list.

Keep in mind, you eventually have to fly back. I usually save my magazine subscriptions (HBR, Computer, Fast Company, etc.) and bring two books. I pack half of them in my luggage and carry the rest in a carry-on. I also have a travel laptop with 6 hour battery life which got me through the 19 hour flight from Atlanta to Sydney last year. (I recharged in San Fran.). I make a list of tasks like monthly columns, patent applications, lesson plans, etc. Sleep for a few hours and the time will fly. It's amazing how much you can get done when you're tied down for a long flight. For those of us like Mike, get a laptop with a small foot print the Toshiba CF-W2 is great for working in the tight confines of coach.

About 3/4 of the way through several long flights I have found myself writing business plans and proposals to revitalize the old SST program. Sure it was cancelled in the early 1970's, but if it's possible to find a way to halve the time I spend in the big aluminum tube in the sky I'm up for it. Enjoy the trip!

Assuming you fly coach at times, come to the airport a bit early and ask for the EXIT seat (an old trick, which I am sure you know). Also, if you fly to Israel (which I do often) then try to be nice to these lovely El-Al flight attendants and they will make sure your 11 hour flight from JFK will go much smoother. Finally, if you are like me – can not possibly sleep on flights – then try the "magic trick" (a.k.a Ambien). Have a safe flight.

Bose QuietComfort 2 Noise Cancelling Headphones
They are expensive but this easier to justify living in New Zealand where flying anywhere means enduring at least a 4-12 hour flight.
One benefit of noise cancellation is that you can reduce the volume of in-flight entertainment. You are not battling to drown out the background noise with extra volume. That alone means a significant reduction in fatigue.
Hope you enjoy NZ!

Slightly off topic, but a 3 hr flight with kiddos can seem like 15hrs...
I hereby present:
TR's Sanity Solution for Flying with Children:
For each hour of flight time, purchase $10 worth of new toys. Keep toys hidden in carry-on. As necessary, present new toy. Sell toys at 100% markup to envious parents.
There's gotta be an adult equivalent... $20 worth of new software per hour? $50 worth of Sharper Image gadgets per hour?

Find out the number of ways biz class is better than the economy and first classes? And if the steep fare is worth the money?
If you travel on economy(like me!!), try to get the aisle or the window and avoid getting stuck in the middle! You can work the above problem in a different way too sitting in the economy class, just that you have other important things to take care of..

Terry just gave me a great idea!
If you like kids (and you've gotta like kids), jack up your nanny fees by 200% and 500% for the screamers. :> If your mate wants kids and you don't, have them babysit the kids in cramped spaces. That'll cure the biological clocks!
Perhaps I should write a business plan on this one. If any one does, please credit me.

Tom, you are flying Air New Zealand. Relax. Great food, great wine and terrific service. This is one of the easiest long-haul flights your will do. Long enough to eat well and chill, and get a good nap. It isn't 15 hours - closer to 12 and a half. Leaves late and gets in early. Hope you are staying at the Hilton on the Wharf - stunning hotel. Be sure to eat at the French Cafe and Vinnies. And be sure to drop in at the SeaMart, down in the viaduct, for some fresh seafood. And... drink lots of Sav Blanc and NZ Pinot...
And if your desperate to sleep there is nothing like a class of scotch and two Tylenol PMs to knock you out... oooops, probably shouldn't say that kind of thing in a public forum...

i have done a lot of US to India and back trips now . all over 18 hours of total flying. and except for the first time, I never had a jet lag..
- drink AS MUCH WATER AS you can
- sleep when you are supposed to sleep - so DONT CHANGE YOUR WATCH until you disembark!!! Your body needs to be taken easily into the new time-zone.. and mind plays a HECK OF LOT of role in that.
- in fact sleep as much as you can..
- read something light so your mind is not over-working.
- Do take a set of Pyjamas with you and change into them frm your trousers.
- wear sandals on such a flight .. shoes SUCK BIG TIME!
- whenever awake - take a little walk on the aisle.
- and when you land ... even if your body screams .. DO NOT sleep unless it is night!!
- and if you can .. try and get a seat away from a family .. specially a family with an infant.

Say "Hi" to the person in the seat next to you and strike up a conversation. Mightn't last 12 hours but it's good to talk. Otherwise, I too take a pile of magasines; some Action Plans from my various warehouse operations to start figuring why we're doing some stuff and why we're not doing other stuff; and an iPod.

The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Keen NoPo Boots - Men's:
I bought these boots to wear to work. I'm a public transit commuter and wanted something that would keep my feet warm and dry and look good with business casual attire. These boots fit the bill. They are very comfortable and are not too warm to wear around the office all day. I'm also happy to be supporting US manufacturing.

OK JOHN. Let's go back around a hundred years and CONTRAST the "freedom, respect and values" in American Society THEN; to what we have today.
Up until the 1970s when a thirteen year old who was raped by the family friend was forced to choose between giving birth or an unsafe abortion.
In the 1920s when children were forced to work long hours in factories at the mercy of the sexual desires of co-workers.When our armed forces were segregated.
In the 1930's, 40's and 50's when organized crime ran the largest cities; and literally OWNED the judges and politicians.Before the 1970's when if a man beat his wife; it was HER fault.
When alcohol flowed so freely in the adult and teen population that America was dubbed the "Alcoholic Republic".When cocaine was commonly used as a "home remedy".
When "Chinese and dogs are not welcome".When a Catholic was discouraged from holding public office.
When women were kept out of the voting booth and denied equal rights in the workplace.Up to the 1970's when our mentally ill rotted in mental institutions like Willowbrook; and nobody cared.
Before Labor Unions when the average worker sweated his life away in a twenty-dollar suit; no pensions, no Social Security.Up to 1965; before Medicaid; when a sick grandparent wiped out the family's meager life savings.
Before the 1980's when it was "open season" on children for priests, and sex with underage girls was "hushed up".The carnage of Civil War: Over 650 thousand dead Americans; devastation in the South and thousands more left with physical pain resulting in the greatest explosion of drug addiction in American History.
Before the Triangle Shirtwaist fire when American workers were locked in sweatshops.
When Blacks were routinely kept in ghettos and out of the N.Y.C. Fire Department.Up until the late 60s when we were still lynching Blacks and Mexicans as part of Saturday night recreation in the Bible Belt.
When Italians were lynched because they were Italian.When Chinese and American Indians were routinely beaten up, crippled or murdered; and no body cared; except for the Chinese and Indians.
When Schwrner, Goodman and Chaney were murdered because they wanted to bring voting rights to Black people in Mississippi.
So as one can see JOHN; when looking at the last hundred years; there is more "respect, freedom, and value" in America NOW; then there ever was; and this INCLUDES the time of the Founding Fathers when a married woman was the "property" of her husband.
-And who does the Average American have to thank for most of this? The Liberals, Progressives, and Liberal Government without which; a child with an ear infection from a poor family would still be screaming himself to sleep at night because there was no Medicaid.
The fact that some people "take advantage" of benefits NOW; compares in miniscule to how the average American was taken advantage of a "hundred +or- years" ago.
Just out of curiosity... Do you cut and paste all this propagana, or do you actually type it out yourself?
P.S.If it's the latter... you sure are a good typist!

Abraj Al Bait Towers

Abraj Al-Bait Towers | |

General information | |
Location | Mecca, Saudi Arabia |
Estimated completion | 2009 |

Technical details | |
Floor count | 76 |

Architect | Dar Al-Handasah Architects |
The Abraj Al-Bait Towers also known as the "Mecca Royal Clock Hotel Tower" is a complex under construction in Mecca, Saudi Arabia by the Saudi Binladin Group. Upon completion, the tallest tower in the complex would stand as the tallest building in Saudi Arabia, tallest and largest hotel in the world, with a planned height of 595 m (1,950 ft). Upon completion, the structure would have the largest floor area of any structure in the world with 1,500,000 square metres (16,137,600 sq ft) of floorspace. This is the same as Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport, in the United Arab Emirates which is the current record holder. It will also surpass the Burj al Arab in Dubai as the world's tallest hotel. It is also the second tallest building under construction. The entire project is estimated to be completed in 2009.
The site of the complex is located across the street to the south from an entrance to the Masjid al Haram, which houses the Kaaba, the holiest site in Islam. In order to start construction, the historic Ottoman Ajyad Fortress had to be first completely demolished. To accommodate worshipers who visit the Kaaba, the Abraj Al-Bait Towers will have a large prayer room capable of holding nearly ten thousand people. The tallest tower in the complex will also contain a seven-star hotel to help provide lodging for the over five million pilgrims who travel to Mecca annually to participate in hajj.
In addition, the Abraj Al-Bait Towers will have a four-story shopping mall and a parking garage capable of holding over a thousand vehicles. Residential towers will house permanent residents while two heliports and a conference center are to accommodate business travelers. In total, up to 100,000 people would be housed inside the towers. The project will use clock faces for each side of the Hotel tower. The clocks will be 80 meters high 80 meters wide. They will be located 530 meters high, which would make it the world's highest and largest clock.

Super super fast and powerful. We have used this machine for over 4 years and have never had a problem. Just make sure you switch hands when using for more than 30 minutes. The vibration can numb your hands.

Sorry then, I only knew about the Pentium 2XXXs and since I was sure the E4XXX were Core2s I expected E5XXX to be Core2s as well.
Serves me right for assuming hardware manfuacturers would use logical names for their products.
Back to topic: I've just installed it and so far it seems to be alright. Only annoyance I've found so far: When playing youtube-videos in fullscreen the video will slow down when I move the mouse-cursor. Not too bad though for alpha-grade software.

MLB: The 13 Most Embarrassing Player Tattoos
By (Correspondent) on February 13, 2012
11,405 reads
Baseball is a game of characters and self-expression. Because it is not the breakneck-paced sport that hockey or football is, part of the draw of baseball is the individual—his story, his quirks and his tattoos.
Well, the last one is the funniest, at least. Many baseball players have tattoos that are true head-scratchers. Others have tats that are just plain stupid. They appear on journeymen and stars alike, and we are free to judge them from the outside.
Whatever their meanings may be, some tattoos just look absolutely awful. Here are a baker's dozen of the worst.
Author's note: Credit to Eric Ball, a B/R featured columnist, for providing inspiration for many of these.
Coco Crisp's Bullseye
Of all the places on the human body to have a bulls-eye, Coco Crisp chose the area below his left ear. That's like putting a wedding ring on your big toe.
I actually never really noticed this until recently, but it's a really disturbing image. I just can't see the logic behind it.
Carl Crawford's Leo
Hey listen, I understand that this is a sign of the zodiac that may have some deep personal meaning to the Red Sox outfielder.
But I have two issues with this. One, why is it on his neck? Two, does it look like, erm, something a lot less publicly acceptable to anyone else but me?
Josh Hamilton's Everything
To be clear, I have tremendous respect for Hamilton and the obstacles he overcame to get where he is today. I also want to make it known that I think any sort of reporting of his "relapse" a few weeks ago was embarrassing and should be none of our business.
However, those tats are hideous. I understand they were from a previous life, so to say, but they are just flat-out awful.
Prince Fielder's Name
Who would have thought that Prince Fielder was such an egomaniac that he'd get his own name spelled out in Korean as a tattoo? (Hint: everyone.)
I guess it looks kind of cool, but I'm not sure why it's on his neck, and I'm also not sure why he chose Korean of all languages. But hey, to each his own.
Scott Spiezio's Woman
I'll let this one speak for itself, I suppose.
Henry Blanco's Flames (?)
Are they hurricanes? Birds? Flames? Maybe those ninja throwing stars? I'm honestly clueless as to Blanco's intentions here.
Apparently no explanation exists anywhere for them, so I'll have to ask him myself one of these days. If I can ever stop staring at those things, that is.
Kyle Farnsworth's Everything
When covering the Rays last summer for B/R, I had the privilege of attending several games as a member of the media. I also had the privilege of seeing Kyle Farnsworth's tattoos, and realizing that they are a perfect reflection of his personality.
Read that as, "I will beat the $@*% out of you."
A.J. Burnett's Stuff
Am I missing something, or is that chain on Burnett's left arm supposed to look likely something normal? We all know Burnett is wild, but usually we describe him that way in regards to his pitching rather than his personality.
But judging from these tattoos, he's probably not the most low-key human being.
Jason Giambi's Skull
I think the conversation between Giambi and the tattoo artist went something like this:
Giambi: "Yo dude, I want to look like a badass."
Artist: "Well, what did you have in mind?"
Giambi: "You know those dudes who ride those motorcycles? I want to look like them."
Artist: "Oh yeah, a skull? I can do that."
Giambi: "Roid rage!"
Jon Rauch's Flaming Ball
Ah yes, the flaming baseball. It makes perfect sense. Rauch is a hard thrower, so maybe he envisions his fastball as bursting into flames on the way to the plate.
No. Probably not. That is literally the cheesiest tattoo I have ever seen. On anybody.
Peter Moylan's Holy #*%#*
Well, that's one way to express your feelings. It's not that Peter Moylan's tattoos look awful, but they cover his entire arms. Can't you leave a little bit of room? Like, maybe a few inches?
I respect the commitment though.
Brandon Inge's Sons Names
I'm all for having your sons' names as tattoos, but come on Inge, if you're going to do it, do it right.
This looks more like a bad Fubu ad than a tribute to your offspring. I just can't understand what would possess Inge to get those freakish looking things rather than a nice, simple, easy-to-understand tattoo honoring his sons.
A for the thought, F for the execution.
Mat Latos' Baseball Seams
A pretty obvious prerequisite for playing baseball professionally is that you love the game. That said, Mat Latos doesn't feel like his love for the game is adequately conveyed in his play. T
he Reds' pitcher has baseball seams and the MLB logo tatted on his arm, as if to say, "I LOVE BASEBALL MORE THAN YOU."
Okay, Mat. We get it.

Grambling officials meet in effort to avoid forfeits
Grambling officials are meeting this weekend in an effort to reach a resolution with disgruntled players and avoid any more forfeits.
University spokesman Will Sutton said yesterday that players were given the weekend off but that officials were in touch with some of them by phone. Sutton said there is a practice scheduled for Monday.
Grambling players refused to travel to yesterday's game at Jackson State because of issues they have with leaders of the athletic department and university. Some of the players have demanded the resignation of university president Frank Pogue, but Sutton said "that's not going to happen."
Grambling forfeited the game against Jackson State, but the university plans to play Saturday's game at home against Texas Southern. It is the school's annual High School Day, which draws in many prospective students from around the region.
Sutton said officials meeting this weekend includes Pogue, athletic director Aaron James and coach Dennis " Dirt" Winston, the team's third coach this season. Doug Williams was fired after two games and Winston replaced interim coach George Ragsdale on Thursday.
Player's wife accused of stealing from teammate
The wife of Seattle Mariners outfielder Carlos Peguero was accused of making $180,000 in unauthorized purchases with a debit card belonging to another person in the Mariners organization, federal court documents showed.
Citing an anonymous source familiar with the investigation, The Seattle Times reported that the unnamed victims described in court documents are pitcher Felix Hernandez and his wife. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment beyond what was available in court filings, and a team spokesman did not return a call seeking comment.
Maria Jacqueline Peguero, 22, was charged earlier this month with three counts of wire fraud, according to the federal court documents. An agent with the U.S. Secret Service said in the court filings that Peguero made 60 unauthorized purchases in 2012 from Saks Fifth Avenue. She was arrested but is free on bond. Her court-appointed attorney did not return a call seeking comment.
Broncos waive receiver they kept from Packers
The Denver Broncos activated All-Pro linebacker Von Miller after his six-game drug suspension.
To make room, the Broncos waived receiver Tavarres King, whom they promoted from their practice squad earlier in the week to keep him from joining the Green Bay Packers.

text: Apple released an iTunes Connect client for iOS today, which is great news; anything that allows me to avoid the iTunes Connect web app is a good thing in my book. The app is functionally solid but uncharacteristically buggy; it seems to throw "No Data" error messages more often than not and occasionally can't find the server at all. It's free, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much, but I expected a little more polish from Apple.

Let Them Eat: Chocolate Hazelnut Torte
Hey you. Yeah, you there in the corner, trying to hide behind the big bag of flour. You think you can't bake fancy desserts? I don't believe you. What? You say that none of the cakes you make turn out? Pssh. Let me show you a recipe so easy that I made it when I was eight years old.
Yeah, you heard me. Are you going to let an eight year old outbake you? I didn't think so.
This cake recipe is one of the easier desserts you can possibly make. It's very low in flour so you don't have to worry about overworking the gluten, and the only part that even remotely smacks of "intermediate level" is melting the chocolate. (And if you've got any idea what a double boiler is, it shouldn't give you any trouble at all.) If the idea of roasting hazelnuts gives you the cold sweats, skip the roasting altogether and use 3/4 cup of pre-ground hazelnut flour instead. You can also use almond flour.
Once you've got the chocolate and nuts squared away, all you have to do is mix a bunch of stuff in a bowl and pour it into a greased pan. That's all there is to it. Despite the lack of complexity involved in this recipe, the end result is still a gorgeously elegant, densely decadent chocolate cake that will surely impress whomever you offer it to. A generous dusting of powered sugar on top completes the presentation.
Guess what? You now look like a baking ninja.
This torte is a classically dense, rich dessert. The darker the chocolate you use, the more intense it will be; I prefer 70% chocolate, though you could use 63% if you like, or semi-sweet, or even milk chocolate if you're of that ilk. The hazelnuts round out this cake with a wonderfully toasty flavor, while a healthy dose of vanilla provides a gently sweet aroma to balance out all that dark chocolate. I add a pinch of cinnamon for a little something-something, and if you like, you could even double that amount for a little something-something extra.
Regardless, it's pretty tough to screw up this cake. It might even survive overbaking, but I wouldn't push it too far.

PEMANDU is so bangang!!!
Sama bangang dengan Azman Mokhtar. Tiap tiap hari Amokh kena sontot dengan rela oleh Tony Fernandes. Takde maruah punya Melayu.
PEMANDU pulak bodoh macam buah sentul. Yang pikir project high impact semua ni budak budak berhingus lagi tapi swaggered macam ko tu lah yg pandai. Bengap jugak akhirnya. - Friday, November 25, 2011 3:07:00 PM

Tiada ketegasan, poor enforcement.....Contohnya apa susahnya nak cari budak jahat Afrika kalau mereka datang belajar. Cari saja pengetua sekolah/universiti. Mereka harus tanggungjawab bawa masuk....apa susahnya

I cannot agree with you more. It is the same in all the big cities where the lucrative parking collection is pirate-ised to crony businesses including imposing high taxes on imported cars to support the inefficient proton that we are finding out that there is no public transport(except in kl)system. Instead of looking at a workable transport system as a whole like getting the parking operation to cross subsidized the buses, you now get no buses on the road and an operator laughing all the way to the bank. This can only happen in boleh land under umno rule.

you can't expect the govt to think of every nooks and cranys to make yur life better. in this age, their job has only come down to, safeguarding the administration. the doorkeeper. market forces are far too powerful, uncategorizedly wild yet supersmart, intricately complex and ghostly for them to understand. what more to control in accordance wit the administrator's limited capacity to think things through.
so, tuan syed, if i may correct yu, its not tht the administrator trying to be smart by mingling into things they do not understand, its just that they can easily fall pray by being used and abuse. its so much fun too manipulate these gatekeepers. the satisfaction to make them look incapacitated is far greater than just the monetary rewards.
of course, reversing on initial decision or the popular saying is flip-flopping, helps to reinstate confidence of the administration, but given this happens far too often, it has loss its credibility. its has become downright, ridiculous. - Saturday, November 26, 2011 5:18:00 AM
allo syed,
-bolehland's policymakers consist of super retards politicians and bureaucrats, particularly since petronas struck the first oil, have deliberately demonstrated bloody foolish inability to grasp with reality that the people's money which has been spent recklessly throughout the years in the name of developments has not brought prosperity to some major section of society.
-as such policymakers should favor and adopt policies that contribute to the reduction of price levels and need to make distinctions and apply differentiated policy approaches in the many states as people still need cheap, plentiful and reliable mode of transportation with similarity to tuk tuks in thailand, india and indonesia or to avoid embarrassment, minibus can be reintroduced, even though probably some of the driver were mentally ill and some were pure crazy, but this potential hazards never deterred people from having the fun toward their destinations. taxi is expensive and the operators are suck and the whole shitload of them are cutthroat scumbags and certainly avoidable if other cheaper form of transportation existed.
-probably the govt has screwed the stage bus operators big time with unnecessary requirements and regulations which made the business unprofitable, so they decided rather then losing it was better to just throw in the towel. now melaka stage bus services are suck as the frequencies are intolerable. nowadays if one is waiting for bus is just like waiting for a kereta lembu passing by for every at least 1 hour. and sometimes they just never turn up. even the state govt red bus co now is only operating mini buses circling melaka town selling cencaluk and belacan and usually without tourist onboard.
-u are right to break open the market. minibuses will fairly good for the jobs and open up the operations to anybody that interested without shiiiitt ap or whatever.
-durian project is another scam by the politicians and con-sultants to make easy money. same as lembu project. - Saturday, November 26, 2011 5:37:00 AM

Tuan Syed, there is a funny article (may even be BS) being sent around in regards to PM last visit to China. Sebetulnya, dia nak export minyak kelapa sawit untuk menolong penoreka Felda tapi China tak setuju oleh kerana peranan Robert Kwok.
The story goes that he couldn't close any deals except jual durian. So, our officials played up the "great accomplishment." However, these exports are insignificant in terms of $$ in comparision to palm oil that is already monopolised by Robert Kwok.
So like your article on Proton & Kereta Tom Yum, we are putting the cart before the horse. Thailand knows how to export durians without dry freezing them!! Natural - semula jadi. We are building processing centers because government already sign MOU to sell durian instead of palm oil.
Imagine, we can't even beat a country like Thailand in selling durian!!

"It is impossible to compare what Singapore has achieved to what all these four countries had so far achieved.
It was actually "poor management and corruption", and nothing more.
Everything is done for the vested interest of the few.
Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines and the Sultanate of Brunei need good management teams.
They would not be able to do this on their own steam.
I would advise that they call on Kuan Yew to show them what good governance is.

Thank you for the information, really appreciate it. I must say i'm very impressed with your deep knowledge about India.

Don't get me wrong, Malaysia is still my country, but at the current rate the Government is screwing the Rakyat OPENLY as if we are some superdungu living in the cave, for the sake of my children, i'd better find greener pastures elsewhere.

SPAD bite off than one can chew. The idea was brilliant to set up one body to manage URBAN public transport system. The key word is URBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORT. So blueprint, policy, implementation etc will be managed by one body who has the required authority to get things done.
Tapi, i would say, they were too greedy nak manage public transport all the way from Padang Besar, Perlis to Tawau. First of all, they do not have the capacity to do so and then berebut turf with existing authority bodies.
They should have just focus on urban area in Malaysia tak banyak pun only Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor Bahru. Plus yang problematic are only theses three places pun i.e. Yg banyak complain etc. Tempat lain like Tumpat, Taiping, Sandakan, Kota Lama Kiri, Sungai Siput...takde orang complain pun. Existing services mainly family run business are doing ok...why sibuk?
Now semua operator claim running at loss...betui ke? Dato' Nadzmi Salleh pun claim stage bus services dia bleeding.....come on! He is a businessman kalau rugi dari dulu dah exit from stage bus business. He knows he can screw this governement that's why he is still in the business.
i have no love for the opposiition and but i want the ruling government to know that ni bukan tok nenek dia punye negara yg depa boleh buat sesuka hati. We need to expose all these nonsense and get them to be on their toes all the time.

Sri Jaya Bus Company, Len Seng Bus, Len Bus, Selangor Bus, mini buses provided excellent bus services until early 1990s. There was no shortage of buses and people were able to move from one point to point without worrying much. Then came Intrakota and Rapid buses to monopolise bus services. People started experiencing irregular bus services, hiked bus fares and had to take several buses to move from one point to another. All these schemed to milk the rakyat of their money. The cost of transportation almost equals a monthly installment for a car, so people chose to purchase their own vehicle for transportation.
There are many services that the government monopolised and messed up big time. Cost of transportaion increased and rakyat had to suffer in silence for unworthy and unreliable service. It is very obvious that competitors are curtailed with insane requirements and frequent harrassement in the name of enforcement. The hidden agenda is to wipe out competition and monopolise. Pure greed and self interest is destroying the nation.

You know which was my favourite bus in KL, Bas Mini. It was on time. It took you to the place you wanted. It was 50 sen. So what if it was crowded? You got to work on time. Less people were driving. Now you see, everyone needs a car.

When is this government going to care for the people and not only enrich a few cronies? I don't think it's something that will happen in my lifetime.

For your info....the current approved collection and processing plant belongs to FAMA which is government agency.And you must take into consideration too, they are not profit oriented but more to facilitate. There will be more privately owned processing plant to be inspected (and hopefully get the approval) by the competent authority. This will happen soon. All those newly to be inspect collection and processing plants are all over the country. I hope this will enlighten you and the rest of the readers here.

Bas mini no.11 from batu caves to PJ old town only 0.40 sen.Every 5min one bus, no waiting ,on time to work.
Now Rapid well what can i say!
Started off with FREE transit bus to lrt, then 0.50sen and now RM1.00.They dont seem to know how to operate and manage the public transport.Just increase the fares as they wish but the pukis still dont seem to make a profit.
Taxis start with 0.70 -1.00-1.30-1.70-200-now rm 3 and 10sen by the second.
WHy ? Cut out the taxi corporation, give the permit to any individual who want to operate.
Lancheow nasi lemak price going up like hell,roti canai hell .How are we the poor people to afford just surviving.
Cow 250mil Pundek lah
The next cabinet must be appointed ONLY and WHEN they PASS a test on social,economics and history.Exam papers to be SRP level.Niamah
Minimum qualification is their bank statement of any business they must start, operate and feed their families with.No crony type business ,no hak ,right JUST like any other businessman.

@Gang Bas Sekolah
It's has reminded me a nostalgia memory about Pink Mini Bus which arrive on time anywhere in KL and it's just RM0.50. My Grandma use to stand with one leg near the door especially peak hours full of passangers in the bus. - Monday, November 26, 2012 2:07:00 PM
