Series: Evolution Basics (35 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.

The Berenstain Bears, national "spokesbears" for Prevent Child Abuse America, posed for pictures and handed out books to area kindergarteners following the Winds of Change press conference Friday morning at the Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science in Tallahassee.
The event launched Prevent Child Abuse Florida's sixth annual Winds of Change campaign, a statewide campaign that recognizes April as Child Abuse Prevention Month by promoting healthy child development, positive parenting and community action.
"Pinwheel displays in Florida communities and across the nation represent a significant change in the way we think about prevention. We are focusing on community activities and public policies that prioritize prevention before problems emerge, because research has proven prevention is more effective and less costly, in both human and budgetary terms, than waiting to intervene until families are already in crisis," said PCA Florida Executive Director Christie Ferris.
"Early childhood experiences influence a child's developing brain and provide the foundation for all future stages of growth. While stable, nurturing experiences can help children cultivate the resilience to overcome typical adversities in life, experiencing child abuse and neglect can be devastating to child development, often setting in motion a chain of events that have lifelong consequences as children grow to adulthood," said Florida Department of Health's Deputy Secretary for Children's Medical Services, Dr. Joseph Chiaro.
"Our economic recession has created increasing stress for Florida's families on all fronts," said Children and Families Secretary George Sheldon. "Preventative services are critical now more than ever to help ensure the safety and welfare of our children during such tough times. We all have a responsibility to help equip parents with the resources they need to accomplish this crucial and increasingly challenging task," Sheldon said.
This year's Winds of Change campaign theme, It's Your Turn, is a call to individual and community action. "Each of us can, and should, take action to make children a priority in our communities. Whether you are a neighbor, teacher, police officer, librarian, mentor, coach or family member, everyone plays a role in providing healthy developmental opportunities for children," Ferris said.
As part of the Winds of Change campaign, local coordinators are distributing parenting guides featuring the Berenstain Bears, and a series of public service announcements are being broadcast on radio and television. The printed materials and broadcast announcements encourage Floridians to call the Parent Helpline at 1-800-FLA-LOVE for information on raising the leaders of tomorrow. The Helpline is available 24/7, and calls are free and confidential. All campaign materials are available for free download at www.ounce.org.
Prevent Child Abuse Florida:
The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida is one of 44 state chapters of Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America). The Prevention Services unit, also referred to as Prevent Child Abuse Florida (PCA Florida), advocates for policies and initiatives to strengthen Florida's communities for families so children can grow and develop through healthy, safe and nurturing experiences.
A woman whose son died of cystic fibrosis in 2009 successfully sued on Thursday to get his younger brother, now 11, on the adult waiting list for a lung transplant.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius reiterated Tuesday that she won't intervene in the "incredibly agonizing" case involving a 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl who is waiting for a lung transplant, telling members of Congress that medical experts should make those decisions.
One of the first provisions of the 2010 health reform law has had its intended effect: shifting costs from hospitals, taxpayers and families to health insurance companies, researchers reported on Thursday. It's one of the most popular aspects of the law.
Probiotics — those products that promise to replenish your gut's 'healthy' microbes — do seem to help prevent dangerous diarrhea, researchers reported on Thursday.
People may realize that fast food isn't health food, but they don't realize just how fattening it really is, researchers report. They surveyed people eating at 10 burger, chicken, sandwich and doughnut chains and found they greatly underestimated just how much they were chowing down.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie revealed that he's had gastric-band weight-loss surgery, which experts say has the least amount of short-term risk but also yields the least amount of weight loss.
A new line of caffeinated chewing gum is causing jitters among health advocates and prompting federal officials to take a new look at the proliferation of jolt-infused foods, including those marketed to children and teens.
Forget the old high school clichés about athletes not doing as well academically as less sporty kids -- a new study shows that children who exercise more do better in math, reading tests.
The procrastinators, the super-busy, and the easily bored in pursuit of a manageable fitness routine may find what they seek in the 10-minute workout.
Exercise not only improves mood, it may help people maintain reduced anxiety in the face of stressful or emotional events, a new study says.

"Google it," or "Facebook it"? Only time will tell if the new Graph Search unveiled by Facebook earlier this week will have the strength to dethrone the master of online search.
We've all "Googled" something before, but in an effort to make your search experience a little more personal, Facebook developed a way to incorporate a search engine within their existing website. Currently in the very early stages of Beta testing, Graph Search will allow users to search for pretty much anything, and in return, receive the most relevant results accompanied by posts, images, and status updates that contain information about a specific location or business.
For well over a decade, search engine optimizers have adapted, tested, and modified the way that they manipulate search results. Now, the shear popularity of Facebook has the ability to really stir things up!
If it works…
According to a recent article in WebProNews.com, Graph Search will start out by targeting people, pictures, places and interests. The digital marketing community is sort of split on the possibility that Facebook's search could even compete with the behemoth known as Google, but I think this is a step in the right direction. If anything, Google might start to step up their game, and adapt to the power of the social vote.
Here are 4 reasons why I think Facebook has all of the tools to create the most relevant search engine in existence!
1. Social shares make more sense
Building business clout and trust using Facebook has been instrumental in the success of many small startups on a budget.
The power of a positive social comment is unmatched. It eases any sense of doubt, and often spreads like wildfire. For that reason, incorporating social mentions in search results are both relevant, and the future of online search.
2. Ease of use
A billion people are already using Facebook. They spend an average of one hour everyday logged in and actively updating, commenting and sharing. It opens as millions of users' homepage. It runs in the background on their smartphone. They understand how it works, and feel comfortable adapting to new features.
3. Our friends are like-minded
We surround ourselves with like-minded people. Our physical social circle consists of individuals who enjoy the same movies, listen to the same music, and dress similarly. For that reason, their opinion tends to hold a little more weight than a stranger's review on sites like yelp.com or UrbanSpoon.com. If Facebook is smart, they will ensure that our friend's thoughts and experiences are indexed first when conducting a search query.
4. One-stop shop experience
Adding a search option is the next step toward creating an all-inclusive site that fulfills every social need.
Our desire to stay connected 24/7 has catapulted the success of this Goliath social network. It continues to grow and people are constantly becoming connected in ways they never thought possible.
If Facebook ensures that their search features are relevant and easy to use, their customers will embrace it, and it will most definitely revolutionize the way search is conducted.
I could be way off the mark, and the introduction of Graph Search could be a complete bust. Either way, it's a good idea for you to heed the warnings, and start marketing your business on social media. There were a ton of naysayers prior to the social boom, and now they are regretting the resistance.

good romantic comedy
By a customer from London , 23 Feb 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
I hadnt heard of this movie before, so perhaps it went straight on dvd, but I found it to be an above average feel good film. It's not your typical rom-com, the acting is pretty good and there are quite a few hilarious moments. I enjoyed watching this. There's bound to be other reviews focusing on how simple the plot is at times, but that's what makes it all the more enjoyable.- Was this review helpful to you?

A huge disappointment.
By wlf29 (10 reviews) from Brighton , 03 Oct 2011A star studded romantic comedy? Barely. I'm a big fan of both Seth Green and Stuart Townsend and yet even they fell short of making this film watchable. It was dull and uninteresting, with very little comedy. It lacked sincere romance and failed to hold my attention...I think I even started cleaning during one of the more boring scenes. With people like Green on board it could have been a great film, however the unoriginal storyline and slow pace left me falling asleep by the end. Very disappointing!- Was this review helpful to you?

Seth Green steals the movie!
By HazelFairy (28 reviews) from Bedford , 16 Jun 2011Got this movie as it's not one I've heard of, and I rather like Seth Green. Also spotted 'Malcolm' (In the Thick of it) dressed as a vicar, so decided it was worth checking out.
Thought the film was fairy amusing, it had one or two 'giggle moments' but I have to say it was a bit disappointing overall. It was a nice gentle movie, but I thought that the characters were rather 1 dimensional, with the exception of Seth Green's character who was marvellously cheeky and mischievious and totally lifted the film out of blandness for me.
Not awful, but not outstanding either.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Kela23 (640 reviews) from Wickford, Essex , 08 Mar 2011So when I started to watch this film I realised within about 2 minutes that I had only recently watched it on Film 4!!
Needless to say I carried on watching it and I enjoyed it just as much the second time round. Nothing offensive, light hearted romantic comedy that filled an otherwise boring Friday night in!!- Was this review helpful to you?

"it appeared that he was about to shoot the deputies. At that point, the two deputies inside shot at him." So, why not just shot him in the arm or something. Why do they always have to shoot to kill? Weren't they were trying to prevent a tragedy? maybe they should have left him alone it ended with the same results anyway.

Here's a few starters for improvement:
Destroy police organized labor. You'll improve nothing as long as unions are involved. (Oh they call themselves "associations" but they're your common, everyday thug/punk union.)
Do NOT hire from the military. It is a dangerous myth that military people make good cops. Military and civilian peace keeping are two completely different disciplines. Great military folks are trained to be the best at two items: Killing people and breaking things.
Revamp the laws regarding the various levels of immunity granted cops AND prosecutors. They've been granted too much immunity for too long.
Stop having an insurance company pay the tab when a city is successfully sued for police misconduct. If a cop (and their "union", if you must keep it) had to pay for beat-downs, illegal arrests, illegal warrants, illegal searches and illegal detainments, you'd no doubt find them behaving better.

You can row or sail, play golf or climb the mountain formations along the fjord. Enjoy shopping or try salmon fishing or a salmon safari where you float down the river. You can hike on the moors, cycle on the islands, swim in the fjords, or take a cruise on the Lysefjord.
If you want a local guide, the local tourist information offices can help you.
Kjerag rises 3556 feet above the Lysefjord and is popular with hikers and base-jumpers alike. A rock known as Kjeragbolten is wedged in a crack in the cliff-face. No special gear is required to get onto it, but care is advised - it is far down.
Not as high up but still more popular is Preikestolen (The Pulpit Rock) which juts squarely out from the face of the cliff, 1881 feet above the sea far below.
If you prefer not to hike, you can still experience Kjerag and Preikestolen, but from below - looking up - by taking a fjord cruise in Lysefjorden.
Ryfylke has many festivals and events - these offer great opportunities to mingle with the locals.
Throughout the region, there are monuments from various historical periods. The rock carvings at Solbakk show the early importance of boats to people along the fjords.
The Ryfylke Museum has numerous and varied facilities throughout the region, for example Kolbeinstveit Farm by Lake Suldalsvatn. Here you will find the 13th century Guggedalsloftet, which is the oldest non-ecclesiastic wooden building in the county of Rogaland.
During the summer, you can sail on the old sloo Restauration. The original carried emigrants to America in 1825.
Visit the zink mines at Allmannajuvet in Sauda, where even the walk up to the mines is impressive. Summer season only.
Beautiful churches include the two Renaissance style churches; Old Årdal Church and Jelsa Church. On the islands there are numerous stone churches worth seeing.

German website Computerbase.de is reporting, that there are several users out there, who have received GeForce 8800GTs, which do not have the usual 112 Shaders and 256 bit memory interface you would expect from this model. Their cards seem to have only 96 shaders and an 128 bit interface. While the 128 bit interface is clearly advertised, the 96 shaders are not. This would make the card even slower than a 9600 GSO. The problem is, that these cards are still being sold as 8800GTs and you won't know that you have gotten a slower one, until you check it after installation. The card in question is from Point Of View with the model number R-VGA150868. UPDATE: Looks like one affected user has heard back from Point Of View, he will get his card replaced. All shops selling this card should clearly advertise it as 128-bit variant. The number of shaders on the R-VGA150868 product is intended to be 112, not 96. That's why Point of View offered to replace the card. Update no. 2: Both Point Of View and NVIDIA have commented on the issue. Point Of View states that they are only the first to offer this card at such specs and other manufacturers will follow. Meaning, that all 8800 GTs will suffer this change. NVIDIA on the other hand is not aware of any such change and has underlined, that Point Of View is acting alone on this one. Source: Computerbase.de (german)
How is that possible? Is it a 9600GT with a 8800GT ID? Either way thats just terrible on PoV's part :shadedshu
When my dad got his POV 8800GTS, it actually had more shaders than his Asus 8800GTS. wtf?? This is just wierd, you expect progression but not stepping backwards!
lol, I wonder if this is all POV 8800GT's for if this is a one off?? Could just be a monumental cock-up at the factory.
One wonders how they even passed quality check. I mean, surely they would have a test system running a quick perfomance chart on all assembled boards?
their lack of quality control can go both ways for us. Either it can bring nice little gems like said gts with more shaders than asus, or monumental fuckups like these 8800gt's. Perhaps in an attempt to cut cost and compete, they've got rid of a lot of quality control steps in the process lol
Everyone knows a GeForce 8800GT has 112 unified shaders and a 256-bit memory interface. Selling anything less and still naming the GPU the same is called FRAUD! :shadedshu Someone let the dogs loose on PoV...
That isn't anything surprising. There was a brief period during the transition to the G92 where nVidia released the 8800GTS(112). Which was the G80 based 8800GTS with 112 shaders enabled instead of 96. http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=41924
Yes, it is the same chip. No, I BIOS flash will not enable the extra shaders, they are physically disabled.
Yeah, I remember that. The good old g80 SSC versions. Here's one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130317 . Edit: jeez, it is so weird to see that card ~150$ after MIR and the fact that the SSC version is cheaper than the standard card.
POV did a similar thing with the 7600GS. Wasn't pleased to find that out when I bought one when I was looking for a half decent passively cooled card back in 07.
i think POV might have thought since 9600GT has a greater model number when compared to 8800GT it must be faster. The htf will 8800gt run faster than the 9600gt. So reduced the shaders and interface on 8800gt so the 9600gt will become faster. Thats my theory.
It is pretty well known that the theory of bigger number means faster card doesn't work, especially in the graphics card industry. We wouldn't think the 8400GS is better than the 7900GTX would we now? The uninformed might make that mistake, but they get what they deserve then. If you don't do the research before buying, you deserve to get ripped off.

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
Smartphone manufacturers must optimize both hardware and software configurations to improve battery life, according to new report, compiled by research firm Yankee Group, analysed correlating features of more than 850 smartphones introduced between 2009 and 2013 with measured battery life.
The size of smartphones has increased dramatically in the last five years, the report confirmed, with phone manufacturers improving battery life by using physically large batteries. But while large batteries increase charging time, they release more heat and cost more.
On the other hand, if smartphone manufacturers keep making components that consume more power and require bigger batteries, the phones will grow increasingly uncomfortable to hold. Overall, consumers rank battery life as the top factor in their buying decision, ahead of price and internet access.
Advances in battery technology itself are unlikely to yield any significant increases in battery life without other changes. Battery efficiency is easier to achieve for manufacturers that can optimise both hardware and software configurations for longer operating time, according to the report. While there is no single solution for poor battery, intelligent software solutions which reduce overall power consumption such as offered by Magnolia Broadband's new Adaptive Antenna Solution can create better user experiences while increasing battery performance up to 20% in certain instances.
Smartphones sales are set to increase by 300% between now and 2019, as demand for mobile data skyrockets by a factor of 10. This presents enormous opportunities for solution providers such as Magnolia Broadband. Magnolia Broadband's beamforming technologies improve by magnitudes, both the performance, capacity and ultimately the user experiences for smartphone (and tablet) users according to Osmo Hautanen, Magnolia BroadBand's CEO.
The total number of devices subscribed to mobile networks will reach 9.3 billion by 2019, according to Ericsson, of which 5.6 billion will be smartphones. That means more than six out of every 10 devices connected to wireless broadband networks will be smart devices with an operating system such as Android, iOS, or Windows Phone.
Today, smartphones outsell feature phones and other devices, but still make up only between 25% to 30% of all the mobile subscriptions around the world. Most devices connecting to the cellular networks are feature phones or other networked gear, such as mobile hotspots or machine-to-machine units. Smartphones made up 55% of phone sales during the third quarter of 2013, according to Ericsson.
With new tablets being introduced this month and in October, data shows that tablet shipments will soon surpass those of personal computers. A report by research firm IDC predicts that for the first time more tablets will be shipped in the fourth quarter of 2013 than PC shipments; and, by 2015, annual tablet shipments will top PC shipments. By the numbers, tablet shipments are expected to reach 84.1 million units in the fourth quarter, while PC shipments will be 83.1 million. PC shipments are looking to drop by 10 percent for all of 2013.
Tablets have recently come a long way -- many now have speedy processors, razor-sharp HD screens, and heaps of apps. Competition in the tablet market has also become fiercely saturated with a whole host of new devices, from simple machines without a lot of bells and whistles to fancy hybrids toting tons of features.
While tablet shipments are on the rise, smartphones will continue to rule the market over the next few years. By 2015, IDC predicts 1.4 billion smartphones will be shipped, which will equal 69 percent of all smart connected device shipments worldwide.
A new Wi-Fi standard 802.11ad (WiGig) which uses 60GHz band and delivers speeds up to 7 Gbps was approved by IEEE in early 2013. The very first 802.11ad capable products are likely to enter market around the end of the year.
Worldwide consumer Wi-Fi customer premises equipment (CPE) shipments surpassed 43.3 million at the end of 1Q-2013; a 16.8% increase from 4Q-2012.
802.11n device shipments still dominate the market, accounting for more than two thirds of total device shipments; however, 802.11ac access point adoption is starting to gain traction according to ABI Research
Devices with the very latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac, started to enter the market in late 2012. According to ABI Research's "Wi-Fi Equipment" Market Data, a total of 0.2 million consumer 802.11ac Wi-Fi APs shipped in 1Q 2013. "802.11ac protocol enables speeds up to 1.3 Gbps as well as better coverage than 802.11n. ABI Research expects that 1 million of 802.11ac consumer access points will be shipped by the end of 2013."
ENGLEWOOD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magnolia Broadband, the inventor of Adaptive Antenna Systems (AAS), a "Beam-forming" technology for wireless smartphones and tablets, said today it has secured $3 million in funding from individual and institutional investors, led by SCP Partners. Magnolia Broadband will use the funding for further development of its AAS technologies for smartphones, tablets, small 3G/4G base stations and Wi-Fi access points.
Osmo Hautanen, Magnolia Broadband's CEO, said, "With global mobile data traffic forecasted to increase 26-fold over the next 5 years driven by video and multi-media data traffic, Magnolia Broadband's solutions provide enhanced real time HD video and multimedia experiences which will broaden the range of applications and services that can be shared, creating a highly enhanced mobile broadband experience." Hautanen added, "SCP Partners has been an outstanding supporter of Magnolia Broadband since its inception. With this additional capital, Magnolia Broadband will further solidify its leadership position by expanding its patent portfolio and advance licensing efforts with wireless network operators around the globe."
"Magnolia Broadband has been on the forefront of developing technologies which offer significant benefits for both wireless carriers and consumers on quality of service providing faster data throughput, better coverage and wider range both on macro wireless networks as well as Wi-Fi coverage areas," said Yaron Eitan, Chairman of the Board of Magnolia Broadband, Inc., and a Partner at SCP Partners, the company's largest shareholder, and President of Selway Capital. Furthermore he added, "Magnolia Broadband's technologies have been valued by leading companies such as Google which acquired over 50 of its patents in 2012."
The small cell industry is at a defining moment. Over 98 percent of operators think small cells are essential to their future and femtocells alone outnumber macrocells globally and are expected to constitute over 85 percent of all base stations by 2017. The total number of small cells deployed globally increased from 6.4 million to 10.8 million in the last three months of 2012. Second, femtocells number 9.6 million and now outnumber macrocells.
Mobile patent grants as a percentage of the total patent grants in a given year have risen significantly for the US market indicating the importance innovators attach to mobile in their business. In the US, one out of every five patent granted in 2012 was related to mobile. Less than a decade ago, this number was less than 10%. The European market has seen lower growth relative to the US market. Roughly one out of every ten patents granted in Europe are mobile related.
The growth of 4G networks around the world is boosting average connection speeds to 3-4 Mbps and on some networks upwards of 14 Mbps, paving the way for high-definition video to grow more commonplace on mobile networks, according to Roman Kikta, author of "The Wireless Internet Crash Course". Kikta points out that leading edge technology enhancements such as Magnolia Broadband's Adaptive Antenna Technology (AAT) is showing to increase carriers data networks performance by doubling connectivity speeds, while improving coverage and capacity by 40%. Kikta states that AAT will benefit mobile carriers as they address Video, which accounted for half of mobile traffic in 2012, and is expected to make up over 75% of it within the next few years. Kikta cites HD cameras on devices and consumers needs for uploading to their social networks as key contributors to this mobile data consumption. Furthermore, Video chats, GPS apps, handheld games, and other applications could add to the demand for mobile networks as well.
Wireless data traffic is expected to grow 66% a year for the next five years. That means, by 2017, monthly mobile data traffic will reach 11.2 exabytes per month, or 13 times what it is right now. Other data points in the report underscore how big the mobile world has become and how quickly it will grow to be much, much bigger. Last year, some 4.3 billion people around the world had mobile devices, a population that will grow by close to a billion in five years.
A new report just released from Cisco states that global traffic on data networks grew by 70% in 2012. Cisco offered a comparison that suggests how big mobile has become: The traffic on mobile data networks in 2012 -- 885 petabytes -- was nearly 12 times greater than total Internet traffic around the world in 2000, back when the web was taking off.
The way to win in mobile is to solve an exceptionally difficult problem. Apple first did it by streamlining the mobile experience through an integrated OS and app-discovery and installation experience. Google then went a step further and crunched mountains of data to make mobile services breathtakingly powerful. The next big mobile company needs to be prepared to do something equally hard. And probably different.
Yet there's no sign that Google has stopped pushing itself to do even harder things. And that is why I think Google is both the mobile company of the year in 2012 and 2013.
Two-thirds of the world's mobile data traffic will be video by 2017. Mobile video will increase 16-fold between 2012 and 2017, accounting for over 66 percent of total mobile data traffic by the end of the forecast period.
Mobile-connected tablets will generate more traffic in 2017 than the entire global mobile network in 2012. The amount of mobile data traffic generated by tablets in 2017 (1.3 exabytes per month) will be 1.5 times higher than the total amount of global mobile data traffic in 2012 (885 petabytes per month).
The average smartphone will generate 2.7 GB of traffic per month in 2017, an 8-fold increase over the 2012 average of 342 MB per month. Aggregate smartphone traffic in 2017 will be 19 times greater than it is today, with a CAGR of 81 percent.
By 2017, almost 21 exabytes of mobile data traffic will be offloaded to the fixed network by means of Wi-Fi devices and femtocells each month. Without Wi-Fi and femtocell offload, total mobile data traffic would grow at a CAGR of 74 percent between 2012 and 2017 (16-fold growth), instead of the projected CAGR of 66 percent (13-fold growth).
Global mobile data traffic grew 70 percent in 2012. Global mobile data traffic reached 885 petabytes per month at the end of 2012, up from 520 petabytes per month at the end of 2011.
Mobile network connection speeds more than doubled in 2012. Globally, the average mobile network downstream speed in 2012 was 526 kilobits per second (kbps), up from 248 kbps in 2011. The average mobile network connection speed for smartphones in 2012 was 2,064 kbps, up from 1,211 kbps in 2011. The average mobile network connection speed for tablets in 2012 was 3,683 kbps, up from 2,030 kbps in 2011.
In 2012, a fourth-generation (4G) connection generated 19 times more traffic on average than a non-4G connection. Although 4G connections represent only 0.9 percent of mobile connections today, they already account for 14 percent of mobile data traffic.
The top 1 percent of mobile data subscribers generate 16 percent of mobile data traffic, down from 52 percent at the beginning of 2010. According to a mobile data usage study conducted by Cisco, mobile data traffic has evened out over the last year and is now lower than the 1:20 ratio that has been true of fixed networks for several years.
Average smartphone usage grew 81 percent in 2012. The average amount of traffic per smartphone in 2012 was 342 MB per month, up from 189 MB per month in 2011.

Will this support iPod out?

"iPod Out" is an audio/video technology developed for certain cars whereby the iPod's native interface is displayed on the car's display. This mode involves sending a video and an audio signal through the 30 pin connector. This feature is unavailable with the lightning cable.
Most cars display their own interface for interacting with music. Those cars will continue to work as before.- Answered by William I from Portland

If you are really talking about "iPod out", then no it won't.
If you are just looking to connect your iPhone to your car stereo with a single USB cable (no headphone output or AUX input), then it should work. I use one in my 2011 Chevy Equinox and it works great. I can control the iPhone from my stereo just like before.
My understanding is iPod out is only used by a few high end BMW's, etc. I believe iPod out was actually a type of video out with the iPod interface - it is NOT the way most car stereos handle iPhone connections.- Answered by Alan R from East Lansing

Not sure for all applications of iPod Out.... However, I was able to connect my iPhone 5 with this cable to my 2010 Cadillac SRX's audio system. I was able to access all menus, functionality, etc. through the car's onscreen menu. It worked just as well as the 30 pin connector and other iPhones/iPods. Hope this helps.

Yes, it works for iPod out. I tested it this morning - using the cable and my iPhone 5 - and it worked perfectly in the car (just like it did with the old cable and my 4/4S).

During your adventure in Rapture you bump into a couple of ghosts. Will Delta bump into Jack's ghost?
During your adventure in Rapture you bump into a couple of ghosts. Will Delta bump into Jack's ghost?
That would be pretty cool to see in the game. I agree with Panda Rave though; if you've seen so many other "genetic memories" in the first Bioshock, why not in the second? :P
Could be very true, but that would mean we'd have to visit an area from the 1st game. I don't know if we do or not, though. Seems possible.
Sure, considering how much adam Jack was taking I'd bet he'd give off one heck of a ghost too. Hmmm, sence ghosts are given off via adam I wonder if you could see a Big-Daddy ghost, that'd be cool.
It's a possibility, myself personally while it isn't a ghost I've always thought it would be cool returning to Fort Frolic and seeing Jack's photos in Cohen's masterpiece (all be it degraded and falling apart) or something along those lines.
i would love to see his ghost fighting Atlas
You know, I didn't even think of Jack leaving a ghost. :O I really hope Delta runs into one or two. Granted, Jack wasn't exactly the most talkative of guys, but he could well have left his signature somewhere recognisable like Ryan's office or the Fort Frolic atrium. (Gotta love the idea of the Masterpiece still being there, too.)
It would be cool just too see the ghost of a guy with a wrench (jack) fighing off a big daddy ghost
I'm hoping for Bioshock 2 to feature some extreme hallucinations.
Huge mind****s.....Bathyspheres leading to the surface being completely imaginary giving even more depth to Bioshock
Hopefully The ghost models will be updated as sometimes the ghosts seemed cheap and easy to miss..Non grey ghosts,Rooms becoming rebuilt for breif seconds etc
I think that it would be cool if pictures, shrines, posters, ect were used to show how Jack has affected Rapture even after he leaves. The makers of the game have already stated I believe that Jack has left a signifigant aftermath behind himself. You could probsbly find the interviews easy.
Im not sure where i saw it, one of the gameplay videos or something, but there is a room that has very large picture showing jack's wrists with the infamous tatoos holding an eve hypo. I think this was some sort of shrine to him. Very cool
Edit: Found the video. Warning, a few early game spoilers. The picture is at 1:42

Yeah I think in an interview I saw on the web said that Jack is becoming somewhat of a religeous factor in Rapture in Bioshock 2.
I don't think you'd see a 'ghost' genetic memory of Jacks due to the simple fact that his adam was never recycled back into the supply by little sisters. Thus no one is going to be injecting any residual genetic matter of his while using adam available in rapture.
Well if they have "ghosts" of Jack then lets hope he doesn't have a voice. He didn't have much of a voice in the first game except painful ones. Maybe he will kind of show you hidden pathways here and there.
yeah it would make sense becausee he uses adam for his plasmids and hes been spliced so it makes sense
Although Jack's genetic material has not been recycled into Rapture's system (as far as we know...) we would not see his direct genetic memories, but maybe we might see those of splicers who encountered Jack throughout Rapture; like, Steinman's genetic memory might show scenes of his fight. However, I feel that in Bioshock 1, the memory flashes existed to reveal plot points or to enrich the setting/history. Since we've all (hopefully) played Bioshock, we all know what happens to Jack so I don't see "ghosts" of him being all that interesting.
ghost was a brilliant feature to add to the game makes not having many cut scenes not that noticable
I'd be curious to see major ghost flashbacks where Delta gets lost in them
i thought the ghost where there because the person died and the tramma was carrired over through genetic sampleing...wait...wut o_o

Methanol (Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol, and Addictive Behavior)
Methanol is the simplest alcohol, containing only one carbon atom, four hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom (CH3OH). It is also called methyl alcohol, WOOD ALCOHOL, carbinol, wood naphtha, wood spirit, pyroxylic spirit, and pyroligneous alcohol or spirit. It is a flammable, potentially toxic, mobile liquid, used as an industrial solvent, in antifreeze, and in chemical manufacture. Ingestion may result in severe acidosis, visual impairment, and other effects on the central nervous system. Methanol does not produce significant inebriation unless a very large amount is consumed.
Methanol itself is not toxic, but it is metabolized by enzymes in the body to create formaldehyde and formic acidoth of which are very toxic substances. The formic acid can cause blindness. Ethanol (ethyl alcoholrinking alcohol) can be used as an antidote for methanol poisoning, because it competes with the methanol for the enzyme. As a result, there is a delay of formaldehyde and formic acid production, and these toxic substances do not rise to such high levels. Although methanol is frequently added to ethanol-based cleaning solutions, its addition denatures the solution and makes it unsafe to drink. Only desperate alcoholics will drink methanol, but it is sometimes drunk by accident by people experimenting with various alcohol substitutes.

Wood Alcohol (Methanol) (Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol, and Addictive Behavior)
Methanol (methyl alcohol, CH 3 OH) is the simplest of the alcohols. It is the natural by-product of wood distillationn older method of producing drinking ALCOHOL (ethanol). Chemically synthesized methanol is a common industrial solvent found in paint remover, cleansing agents, and antifreeze. It is used to denature the ethanol found in some of these solutions and thereby render them unfit for drinking.
Methanol ingestion is usually accidental, but some alcoholics resort to the desperate measure of consuming methanol when they cannot obtain the beverage ethanol. Persons working in poorly ventilated areas can suffer ill effects from inhaling methanol-containing products, and ingestion of methanol is considered a medical emergency. Methanol is metabolized to formaldehyde and formic acid by the same liver enzymes that break down ethanol (these are alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase). The formaldehyde and formic acid are toxic metabolites responsible for the symptoms of methanol poisoning; these appear several hours or days after methanol ingestion. Blurred vision, leading to permanent bilateral blindness, is characteristic of methanol poisoning. The accumulation of formic acid results in severe metabolic acidosis, which can rapidly precipitate coma and death. Other symptoms of methanol toxicity include dizziness, headaches, cold clammy extremities, abdominal pain, vomiting, and severe back pain.
The treatment for methanol poisoning is sodium bicarbonate, given to reverse the acidosis. In more serious cases, dialysis may be required; in addition, ethanol is given intravenously because it competitively binds to alcohol dehydrogenase, thereby slowing the production of toxic metabolites and allowing unchanged methanol to be excreted in the urine.
