- Hopefully just an off night for Seasons 52OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 11/23/2014Have eaten here before and have always enjoyed the food and service. This time was different though. We had an early Sunday dinner, so the place wasn't busy yet. Our server was VERY "attentive", she spoke fast; it came off as being rushed. We ordered an app, and as our entrees came out I had to ask for the app. The server apologized and took it off our bill, but again - just contributed to feeling rushed. The crushed potatoes that came with a couple of entrees appeared like an after-thought by the chef and were not that good. Some of the veggie sides were also below par. Each of our main dishes were very good though (pork tenderloin, rainbow trout and the branzino)! We will go back, but this was a bit disappointing - maybe just an off night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LenaDined on 11/22/2014This was me and my boyfriends first time dining here and I must say it was just great!! Food , wine, the pianist was very good she had a beautiful voice. Sitting was great our waitress awesome we would definitely go again and bring friends . I am highly recommending Seasons 52 .Special Features:
- reviewer1Dined on 11/22/2014Incredible food, great atmosphere, and excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedBuffettJamesVIPDined on 11/22/2014Prices were reasonable, nice atmosphere, Food was bland, service was fair, left disappointed in our restaurant selection.
- Very Nice RestaurantLindaDined on 11/22/2014'Had lunch with my cousins there and the food was delicious. Everyone had something different so there was a chance to see/taste a little bit of it. Every entree was warm and tasty. For dessert, try the "flights." They're mini-parfaits that are just enough "sweet" to top off your meal, but not a huge portion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeBusinessmanVIPDined on 11/21/2014Very good food and superb service. Love the atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service not up to parOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/19/2014We have frequently turned to Seasons 52 as the 'spot on' place to go for a great meal and excellent service. Our recent visit was a bit of a disappointment. Through Open Table, we requested a few, easy seating requests which have been met in the past without exception. Not so this time without having to be redirected to an alternate table. The alternate 'table' was a window-facing booth, from where cold air poured in. We were dining with an elderly parent who was uncomfortable, as were we. Celebrating any special occasions today? My birthday... that was the last time my birthday was mentioned...I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is excellent, but there are a few negativesKMM29Dined on 11/17/2014This was my second visit to Seasons 52. The food was excellent, the wine choices are great, the mini desserts are delicious. I love the concept of changing the menu to showcase food that's in season. I also love that they let you try the wine before you commit to a whole glass. My problem on this visit was two-fold. The first two wines I selected were sold out (but this was not called out on the menu). The server tried to recommend alternate selections, but I could tell he was not very knowledgable about wine b/c the choices he selected were nothing like the two I originally requested and when I asked him what region the wine was from he said "Sonoma. I think that's in California." He was very unattentive, which I felt stemmed from the fact that he was agitated that I did not like the 2 additional wine selections he brought to the table. Our appetizers were served but they forgot the individual plates for us, it took a long time to get refills on water and to see the desserts. I'd like to think this is an exception, because the first time I went, service was impeccable. I will give them one more chance to see if the service thing is the exception or the norm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect dinnerbdaygirlDined on 11/16/2014We had a group of 6 and were seated in a round booth which was perfect. We were celebrating a birthday and had an excellent meal. Our service was great. Would definitely recommend Seasons 52 and will be returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a treatPhilDined on 11/15/2014Seasons 52 changes it menu every season to feature fresh seasonal ingredients. We were seated immediately at our reservation time and greeted by our server. She answered all our questions and was very patient. I had the wood fire grilled tenderloin which was the best I have ever tasted. My wife had the scallops which were cooked perfectly and the butternut squash risotto was to die for. I like the mini desserts that are easy on the wallet and the waistline. Good fresh food, good service in a beautiful space made for a lovely evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Back againWontDined on 11/15/2014this please is great! Perfect to bring customers or family. Everyone I have brought to Seasons 52 (both in Oak Brook and Schaumburg) have loved the place. Staff has always been very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great spot for entertainingRebeccaDined on 11/15/2014Season's 52 is a great choice for just a couple's night out or an unpretentious choice for entertaining that presents a delicious menu that can satisfy most foodies and also the calorie conscious. While we often start with the calories in mind, we usually splurge on appetizers and sides (because they are so good!). As a side note, the pianist in the bar right now is so good that its worth just stopping in for a drink and an appetizer to enjoy his smooth and charming entertainment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice piano Bar atmosphere but...NikovonDined on 11/14/2014Only drawback for this romantic and quasi fancy restaurant was that when you go to a piano bar restaurant it would be nice to, well, see the piano bar! We were seated in the spill over/banquet room way in the rear. We could hear music piped in, but that is NOT why you go to a p,ace with a live pianist! Otherwise, great everything else....So, when making reservations I suppose you need to make that request? We were at the Oakbrook location...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AvidDinerDined on 11/14/2014Very good fresh menu. A good date night or out with the girls choice! Be sure to make a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BartlettDined on 11/14/2014Our waiter gave us excellent service and the food was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good solid dependableDogMomTravelVIPDined on 11/13/2014A nice spot for a dependable meal, especially gluten free. Service was good Can be noisy even at lunchSpecial Features:
- Great place to try something newlunchwithcustomersDined on 11/12/2014I had heard many good things abo u t Seasons 52 from friends and colleague s at work prior to my visit. They were all correct. From the raspberry lemonade to the very flavorful fish, I was impressed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wine listSuzyqDined on 11/11/2014the wine list is long and complicated, but our waiter was knowledgable and provided tastings. We love the attention to freshness and calorie count. If you are shopping at Oakbrook and need some down time, stop in here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hostSusanVIPDined on 11/11/2014I am not sure what to call the guy who walks you to your table but he was uncharacteristically rude. The only reason why I am saying something is that it is such a contrast to the rest of the staff. My waitress addressed me by name (thanks to the Open Table reservation) but, the host had two menus in his hand and seemed surprised when we didn't follow him. There was no greeting. When he was seating us at a table I asked if we could sit at a favorite booth and he rudely said "those are only for people who make a reservation." You could have one if you want to wait 10 minutes. Isn't open table a reservation? It was just an odd experience considering how terrific my experience has always been with the staff at Season's 52!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Looking for variety-look no furtherenjoys2eatoutDined on 11/11/2014Great place with fantastic service! Love the seasonal theme and every week different items on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh & InnovativeRobMDined on 11/10/2014There was no single aspect that made Seasons 52 a great choice for our recent monthly team dinner. The food is excellent. Recipes are creative, portions sensible and prices reasonable. I like the idea of having so many good wine choices, by the glass, poured at our table. Even the desserts were sensible-scale and creative. Each of us likes a good steak now and then but so many restaurants in this range want to create value by ridiculous portion sizes. We left Seasons with that satisfied, just-right feeling. I wish more restaurants would adopt this approachSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 11/9/2014Food was very good. It was very loud, we went on a Sunday night. But service was good and as I said, food was delicious The only problem we had was that I had asked for a booth becauae I wear hearing aids and although I wa assured over the phone that we'd be seated there there was no booth available for us.I would recommend this to a friend.
- No brunch ...DaveseeVIPDined on 11/9/2014Although we were looking forward to trying Seasons 52 since none of the four of us (two couples) had ever been there, we were mistaken in thinking there was a Sunday brunch on the menu - our fault for not checking. In waiting for the other couple to arrive, we reconciled ourselves to simply having a very nice lunch and ordered coffee - we ended up not staying because breakfast was a must. The waiter was very courteous and considerate!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great for vegans!stellapuellaDined on 11/8/2014i loved that this restaurant offers a separate vegan menu, and they were even willing to customize additional dishes to make them vegan. i dined with two carnivores who were also thrilled with their meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a hit....TinaRDined on 11/8/2014I just love this place... The ambiance, the food, the great service... I can go in there with high expectations and never be disappointed. Bliss!Special Features:
- Variable experiencespsychsolDined on 11/7/2014My first trip to Seasons 52 was so exquisite, that I recommended it to friends for a night out. The food was amazing, the ambiance in the private room was superior, and the service was outstanding. When I returned with my friends, despite the consistently excellent food with great vegetarian options, the ambiance was subpar since we were seated in the bar (with plenty of room in the dining room), and the service was one of the worst I have ever received. Our waiter was not at all attentive, and despite the fact that we stayed well after paying for the check (with a generous tip), he did not return to the table to see if we needed water, or anything else. I left embarrassed that I recommended it.Special Features:
- travelerVIPDined on 11/6/2014This restaurant has everything going for it. Went on a Thursday evening and waited at the bar until the rest of my party arrived. The live music is placed on a pedestal in the middle of the bar, which was full, making it very lively in a good way. The food is interesting and there are choices for everybody. The dining areas have tall built-in wine racks adding the high end atmosphere. Definitely will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food great but terrible servicejschulDined on 11/6/2014As soon as our group sat down (4 girls) we were told at 7pm that the restaurant closes at 10pm! Wow! Once we ordered drinks, half of our group had to return drinks twice so the mixologist is not impressive or consistent. We were incredibly frustrated with drinks with the cost at 11.00 per cocktail. Our food arrived and it was all very tasty, really really good between the steak, salmon, and scallops. The food was outstanding! The service was not outstanding! For a new, upscale restaurant in OakBrook, telling us to get out before 10 we had to ask for our waitress a few times. Overall, an expensive meal and drinks with poor service.Special Features:
- Business DinnerbiztravelDined on 11/6/2014Excellent choice to end a day that was full of meetings. The food was great just enough without feeling "stuffed" the Dessert is great. Will recommend this to other business travelers who are looking for a different restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/6/2014Very noisy at noon so hard to carry on a conversation unless you're next to your companion. Best for really early or late lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Change Will Do You GoodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/6/2014Changing up the menu 52 weeks in a row must be a tremendous task. Seasons 52 meets this with a flare for the creative. Many thanks to Seasons 52 for yet another great business lunch. We shall return in the near future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great for bdayOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/6/2014They were wonderful and so kind for my friends bday. They went over and beyond. Nice treat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 11/5/2014We had a great meal, and the quantity and quality were very fresh and the best part is that everything on the menu is 475 calories or less.Special Features:
- Great food and live piano music most nightsMooseVIPDined on 11/5/2014This is a great place for a casual dinner or holiday dining. The piano music from behind the bar is not overwhelming and is a nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently good food and serviceTrishaVIPDined on 11/3/2014I never doubt that everything on the menu will be good and the service will be energetic and and attentive. Whether dining with clients or friends, I know it will be a good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent restaurantMo52Dined on 11/2/2014Seasons 52 at Oak Brook is one of my favorites. Food is always delicious, low cal, and service is great. Beautiful restaurant.Special Features:
- Birthdaygirl29Dined on 11/1/2014Food was very good. restaurant was busy and understand that it can take some time for wait staff to get to you but we waited long periods of time for everything. We will go back but hope service will be better. Luckily we were not pushed for time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All around greatgetsoutonceortwiceDined on 11/1/2014We loved the food, the service and the wine. This place is all around a great dining experience. If I had to pick one negative, it is a loud atmosphere. If you have any slight hearing issues, you may have some trouble if you're dining with a larger group.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014Excellent quality food choices in perfect portion sizes and appropriately priced. The wine selection has something for everyone, as well as cocktails and craft, local & imported beers. And excellent service to boot. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Be sure you make reservations or plan on waiting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just the right attention...scottpfeifferVIPDined on 10/31/2014We had a delightful evening, with a waiter that seemed to let the evening unfold at just the right pace, and was there when needed, but gave the right amount of space to enjoy the evening. The food was excellent.Special Features:

Great Colors
michael from sedona, AZ– Verified Buyer
Having a bed and breakfast, these plates have held up so well over the last ten years, that the only reason i have to buy more is that human error( being dropped) lol color doesnt fade, and after years of washing thats a real plus.
judith from Arlington, VA– Verified Buyer– Top 100 Reviewer
A nicely weighted dinner plate. Color as shown. Good buy.
Time for dinner!
Laura from Oklahoma– Verified Buyer
I purchased several pieces of serviceware and dinnerware from the Sorrento line and I love them all! It's great quality stoneware for the price.
Very nice
Jennifer from WA
I had ordered this set before same brand and style but these arrived a bit smaller and less distressed like they were maybe from a different manufacture site or something. Still very nice. I would recommend.

I'm very happy with these dinner plates overall. No surprises here, quality was as expected.
Sorrento dinner plates
Mari from Raleigh, NC– Verified Buyer
I like the quality and color of the dinner plates. However, they are too heavy and are 11 & 1/2 inches, not 11 so I cannot completely close the kitchen cabinet door. I will keep them because the rest of the set is beautiful. The dinner plates could definitely be lighter and not as large.
Chips very easily
Kelly from Candia, NH
I have a variety of theses pieces, plates, bowls, cream, sugar, salt and pepper, platters in both the ruby and the off white. The plates and salad plates, which of course are used daily, chip VERY easily, making them not worth the price. The occasional pieces, serving pieces and pasta bowls haven't chipped. I was disappointed as the set is beautiiful, but I have resorted to buying other plates as can't keep up with replacing them at their price.
Bill from Mokena IL– Verified Buyer
Big,thick and heavy duty plates. The bottoms are pretty rough and are capable of scratching wood or counter tops so be careful.
Love them
Robin from Huntington– Verified Buyer
I bought the sorrentino ruby bowls from [@] and just fell in love with them. When it was time to get new plates, I went looking for their match. The price was higher than I wanted to pay, but to my mind, there was no second choice. We use them for a monthly dinner party for 12, and when it comes time to set the table, for some ridiculous reason, they always make me smile. I'm glad I made the splurge.

Undergraduate Courses at Bangor University
Location: Lectures are held in Bangor whilst all practicals are held at the Menai Bridge site
This specialist degree regularly recruits 20-30 students and is taught within the College of Natural Sciences between the Schools of Ocean Sciences and Biological Sciences. The Marine Biology element covers animals, seaweeds, plants and microbial life in the seas and their interactions. The Zoology part covers all animals whether on land or in water. The degree therefore gives a wide overview of the diversity of animal life and ecosystems on this planet, ranging from the mountains to the deep sea trenches. The course shows how interactions between animals and their environments apply equally to marine, terrestrial and freshwater habitats. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of biology, ecology, and evolution of marine organisms and all animal groups. In addition, more applied aspects such as aquaculture and fisheries, parasitology and immunology are covered.
There is also a 4-year Master of Marine Biology MMBiol option available. In Year 4 of the Master of Marine Biology, you will carry out a substantial piece of research which forms your Year 4 dissertation.
The course is ideal preparation for careers in research, conservation, fisheries and aquaculture, government advisory bodies, the scientific media, ecotourism and other leisure industries and pressure groups.
For more on studying degree courses see our Study at Bangor section.
The Marine Biology and Zoology course course typically involves up to 30 hours per week of lectures, practicals (laboratory and fieldwork), private study, tutorials and project work. Many modules include day field trips. In year 2 there is a day trip and a field course based on the research vessel and in year 3 hypothesis testing exercises are undertaken during the intertidal field project. These are free and compulsory. You also have the option of an overseas field course in Virginia, USA. Your practical work is continually assessed and examination of each module is by multiple choice questions (MCQ), laboratory tests and written examinations. The dissertation is assessed by a presentation and a report.
You study 120 credits in each year.

Steal These Hotel Touches, Get a Stylish, Comfy Home
Half the joy of staying at a hotel is marveling at the cool style ideas and comfy details. Use these tricks in your house, and put a mint on your pillow tonight.
By Elizabeth Jenkins
Make your bed cozy with layers
The Lodge & Spa at Brush Creek Ranch, Saratoga, WY
Forget hospital corners and starched sheets—who has time, anyway? The hotel bed to covet is one that's rich-looking and soft. Designer Lisa Simeone used a half-dozen textures like a linen duvet, a faux-fur throw, a chenille bolster, and wool pillow shams. Nothing's perfectly straight, it's all just lush.

I'm too busy doing things, meeting people, hanging out that when I sit down to blog it all comes up blank.
Not to mention my bed is still a giant mess from trying to locate my iPod charger this morning and I need to clean it before I can sleep.
The new flat is working out nicely. The location is fantastic, the flatmates are lovely and I'm just generally... happy.
I'm usually quite a pedantic person, but I'm beginning to realise the more organised, the more pedantic I am, the less happy I am.
Right now I'm not at all organised or pedantic, I'm floopy and happy and enjoying myself.
It's an interesting way to be. I'm trusting things will happen - and for the most part they are - I'm trusting that the things I don't usually leave to chance will be OK - and they are.
Letting go and enjoying things - the ride - as it comes, isn't something I normally do, but I'm having a ball doing it at the moment. My room remains unpacked, my trip to Wellington next week remains unorganised, but these things will sort themselves out slowly and I'm just going to keep having fun in the meantime.

Google stiffs Samsung on price, now wireless charging too
Not content with undercutting Samsung's Galaxy S III mobile by two hundred quid, Google's Nexus 4 handset is using the Qi charging standard to provide the wireless charging Samsung still can't offer. Sammy's handset was announced with support for wireless power charging, and will get it eventually, but in the meantime Google ( …
"So for the additional notes the Samsung gear delivers 4G, a tenth of an inch in screen estate and an FM radio"
You mean 4G on some versions
And you forgot to mention the SD card slot on the S3, which was the reason I bought mine rather than the HTC One X and which it still has over the Nexus 4.
Although, granted, if the Nexus 4 had been announced earlier I would have probably gone for that instead considering the cost - an SD slot and FM radio I never use isn't worth £200.
This is new...
This is new, Android Fandroids at each others throats and not a whiff of Apple in the air!
Just shows how fragmented Android and the Fandroids are.......
Re: This is new...
One man's fragmentation is another's consumer choice.
A Fandroid decides if he wants his chosen OS on a phone with an SD card or not. He chooses the screen size he wants, if he wants a real keyboard or just a virtual one. FM radio? NFC? Or maybe he fancies a stylus... etc.. etc.
A Fruitdroid just crosses his fingers the great west coast oracle will give him what he was missing with the last model, and when it doesn't he still queues up and buys it.
Re: This is new...
A "Fruitdroid" who needs to do something an iPhone won't let him do will – and this might surprise you – buy another phone. Shocking, I know, but, contrary to what you appear to believe, Apple don't point a gun at your head and force you to buy their stuff when you walk into one of their stores. I've certainly never been held hostage in one.
I've even heard one Apple blue-shirt suggest a customer buys a particular model of (Windows-based) laptop instead of an Apple one after hearing their litany of requirements and budget. If they know you can't afford the model that would fit their needs, they'll be happy to suggest a low-priced competitor. It's not as if the customer was going to buy from them anyway, and they'll leave with a good impression of Apple's customer service too. (See one of my other posts on this thread for why that's a good thing for Apple.)
On styluses
Having owned a Sony-Ericsson P900 (and its predecessor) in the past, both of which were stylus-based, I can't say I've ever felt the need to own another stylus-based device since. My carpal tunnel hates the stylus grip position with a passion bordering on righteous anger, so I'd be in pain within minutes. (In fact, I haven't been able to write much of anything longhand for years as a result. In any case, I've been able to type at over 120 wpm. since my primary school days, so it's no great loss. My handwriting has always sucked anyway.)
That said... I'm surprised there hasn't been more call for handwriting recognition of Gregg* Shorthand on stylus-based devices. It seems such an obvious move for those who can write, and I'm well aware that many find handwriting more comfortable than typing. Despite a brief flurry of research papers dating back to the early '90s, there don't seem to be much work on this in the Android space today, which seems like a gap in the market to me.
* The UK's preference is for Pitman Shorthand, but that relies on line thickness as well as line length, which means the stylus would have to support pressure-sensitivity. It also adds complexity to the recogniser code. Studying the two, it seems to me that Gregg's is the better fit for tablets and 'phone-pads' like Samsung's "Note" series.
Re: This is new...
No its Android users deciding between all the different choices available.
I realise that as an Apple fanboi that may be a new concept to you...
Re: This is new...
@Sean Timarco Baggaley "On styluses"
If you have a spare moment, I'd suggest to try a Samsung Galaxy Note II somewhere and put it through some handwriting recognition moves. I have a crappy handwriting at best and the Note II gets it still...
It's rather amazing to see how far this technique has come given that there are a lot less devices with styluses these days.
@Gob smacked - was Re: This is new...
Agreed. There is a world of difference between the old, Nintendo DS style touch screens of old and the Galaxy Note implementation. They use licensed Wacom technology which is not only pressure sensitive, but also proximity sensitive.
If you can't get to a galaxy note, then go play with a Wacom tablet and do some photo retouching in photoshop, it's another world!
(My missus has a wacom tablet on her Mac Pro, and she won't let me "borrow" it for my photo work, I have to go and use it on her fruit flavoured machine instead... I feel unclean afterwards).

Except the Samsung Note S-Pen is pressure sensitive.
Not just wireless charging.
They also stiffed Samsung - together with all users who already had adapters - by dumping MHL and going to a new HDMI-via-microUSB system called SlimPort.
That said Samsung - founding member of the MHL group - had already stiffed users by using an incompatible MHL on the S3.
Nothing like changing "standards" every year.
Re: Not just wireless charging.
"Nothing like changing "standards" every year."
Oh do come on, old chap, you're right, but you're also obliged to include this:
Re: Not just wireless charging.
Unlike MHL, SlimPort adapters don't require power if your TV only supports HDMI, so not to worried about this aspect.
Re: Paul 135 "SlimPort adapters don't require power"
HDMI standard specification is only good for 5v at 50mA. I'd love to see how they power a smartphone using that.
Sounds like they've invented a "Special HDMI" to go with that claim.
Well you know what they say...
...it's the nice thing about standards, there are so many to choose from.
Re: Paul 135 "SlimPort adapters don't require power"
They aren't going to power the whole smartphone with 5mA, merely act as a normal HDMI. Power will work with TVs that support SlimPort, or if only HDMI then you can connect an external power source to the adapter (just like MHL). The difference with MHL is that with MHL you are forced to connect an external power source to use it with a normal HDMI TV at all -- SlimPort does not force you to do this.
Never mind Samsung...
This move looks like it will flatten the entire Android phone platform, possibly bankrupting a few phone manufacturers with it.
I would be interested in knowing the profit margins involved, and the details as to whether Google is funding this etc.
I always thought back in 2007 that the Nexus model was a bad one for what was supposed to be an open platform, and that Google should have stayed out of it on the hardware side. Instead it seems that Google have absolutely no interest in applying fairness to the Android platform, whereby unless you are in bed with Google (getting subsidised devices sold with minimal margin, getting access to early source-code that your competitors do not, getting the final AOSP release and all updates made specifically to only work on your device) then you have absolutely no chance to compete. I believe thisto be a major factor in why firstly HTC (now struggling) and then Samsung came to dominate Android.
I can see why Google could have wanted to do this for where Android was behind in tablets, but for the phone market where Android dominates already it is just destructive.
Remember people, while short-term the Nexus 4 is a great bargain for consumers, long term reduced competition is in nobody's interest.
Re: Never mind Samsung...
I predicted this not long ago, saying Google would starting locking down Android and screwing the OEMs.
Vertical integration means Google obviously doesn't pay itself for access to Google Play. Welcome to the future, this is why Samsung invested in Tizen as they could see this coming.
Re: Never mind Samsung...
When you think about it the idea of paying Google to have Google Play just so Google can get a 30% cut of everything sold on it then it just makes Android look all the more preposterous. I also find disconcerting the amount of apps that are sold on Google Play that are essentially DRM-locked to Google Play -- something that I rarely see highlighted as an issue of concern by Android users.
If I were an Android manufacturer I would be looking to try and form an alliance with all other Android manufacturers to fork quickly and kick the Google spy machine out of the loop. It would be in their interests to also come up with a viable alternative to Google Play where any cut on apps is distributed amongst themselves.
Re: Never mind Samsung...
I'd say it is much more likely HTC's problems are caused by things like - poor customer service, slow software updates, bad software, too many devices on the market (I'm starting to think HTC have an aim to create a different smartphone for every single person on the planet) - despite starting this year unveiling the One line of phones and claiming they weren't going to release as many phones as last year..... The HTC One X is a nice looking phone - but - I get 2 bars less signal continuously than a motorola defy+, 90% of the time I pick it up and it says it has no signal - and yet in the battery section it says "time spent without a signal: 0%", the GPS is not great, battery life is not great, multitasking sucks, power management of the quad core processor is still rubbish - the phone spends more time at full speed than it does at low speed. The only thing that is actually really good about the phone - is the camera. I'm seriously considering selling One X and getting a Nexus4 if nothing else - it's got to have better software!
Re: Never mind Samsung...
I don't disagree. What I am arguing is that a major reaon why HTC even came into contention in the first place is because Google put them there.
Re: Never mind Samsung...
> I predicted this not long ago, saying Google would starting locking down Android and screwing the OEMs.
I took the same position. It's bad business to compete with your own customers.
Re: Never mind Samsung...
I disagree. The retail price of contract-free handsets is artificially high at the behest of the telcos, who can then offer you the phone "free" or heavily subsidized as a carrot to tempt you onto a nice fat contract. That kind of market distortion is rarely good for consumers. What Google's Nexus 4 pricing might do is bring a bit of reality to contract-free handset pricing, making it more attractive to buy a handset outright than with a contract, and thus make both the handset market and the contract market a bit more transparent. Low margins and cut-throat competition deliver great value for consumers in the PC market, and as smartphones are commodity items these days, there's no reason why that market shouldn't go the same way. If a few of the existing manufacturers can't handle that, there are plenty of others that will step in.
Re: Never mind Samsung...
Damned if they do and damned if they don't. Without the DRM locked apps, as you say, would there not be rife piracy? Oh.... piracy is rife!
Damn you Google! You aren't doing enough to protect developers! But that DRM! Google - you have to lighten up!
Cheap compared to the opposition
Did they save money by making it out of plastic?
Re: Never mind Samsung...
The OEM's could release timely updates if they would stop screwing with the UI and underlying components that they have to upgrade for each release.
So who's selling the Nexus 4?
I need a new phone you see and I'd quite like to order one.
Re: So who's selling the Nexus 4?
Although it's not out yet. It's some time this month I think.
Otherwise you can get ripped off by O2 on contract (see Reg article from earlier today).
Re: So who's selling the Nexus 4?
Carphone Warehouse are only selling on contract too. Since I live in Ireland I'd only be interested in SIM free. I can deliver to the UK if I must but I'd rather not. Google's page doesn't even show up from Ireland so I had to use Tunnelbear to get my name on the list.
The only thing I don't get is that Google bought motorola. And yet they still hire all these otehr companies to make their nexus stuff.
Wouldn't it be better for them to simply (he says) rename motorola to Nexus, and have them, an internal google company, handle all nexus handsets / tablets?
I know there's probably a good reason they get asus / lg to do it instead (probably cheaper) but still, right now it seems like the motorola buy was for everything but their hardware.
It's their way of avoiding anti-trust investigations, there's already one for their search operations. Won't be long before Android is under the spotlight.
Because they don't want to screw over their partners?
I'm guessing Google don't want to have a hardware company that is (unlike this story tries to make out) always undercutting and bettering their partners.
Samsung have had a crack of the Nexus whip, same to HTC and now ASUS and LG (and Samsung again). This helps to keep the partners on side, as well as the diversity of products.
Microsoft seems t be the one who tries to crap on its partners and suppliers (Nokia special privileges, Surface tablet, HTC etc).
Yeah it's cheaper
Those MicroSDHC Readers must be the thing that makes up the difference in price.
'Cause the Nexus 4 still hasn't got One.
Re: Yeah it's cheaper
You can always get an S3 if you really want one, it'll only cost £200 for the reader.
Lets at least be fair
All of the articles I've seen comparing the S3 to the Nexus 4 seem to use over-inflated prices for the S3.
Amazon are selling the blue 16gb S3 for 389.99 (not the £430 quoted in the article)
While the equivalent 16gb Nexus 4 is 279.99. (not the 8gb £230 price quoted).
It's still a bargain, and I would have bought one had I not bought an S3 last month (Doh!), but £110 is a far cry from £200.
"have comparable processors"
The S3 has a Quad Core Cortex-A9, the Nexus 4 has a Quad core Cortex-A15 and should be about twice as quick.
Re: "have comparable processors"
"...Nexus 4 has a Quad core Cortex-A15..."
Erm, no, the Nexus 4 has quad Kraits. You're right about being fast though :-)
The SD is required for quite a few excellent apps. NavFree comes immediately to mind. The SD allows you to add 64GB for £50... Which is a nice amount of music, vids and off line maps..
Anybody know why the nexuses don't have SD cards?
Re: SD
My guesses;
A. Google really wants you to use their cloud services.
B. It's to give their partners a slight advantage over Nexus.
C. Little bit of "B", a lot of "A".
Re: SD
Anybody know why the nexuses don't have SD cards?
Wireless charging
" but for most of us the Qi standard will fulfil our wireless charging needs. Just as soon as we work out what those needs are exactly"
Simple really. Combine with RFC to make in-car use simple.
Add a flat, non-slip pad to the centre console, which is a charging pad with a RFC chip in it. Get in a car, pop your phone on the pad, starts charging, and the RFC tells the phone to turn on Bluetooth, if it's the first time, it passes the connection details as well and instant connection with no messing around. If you open your car door without picking up your phone, the car starts beeping in the same way as leaving your keys in or lights on. Pick your phone up, loses RFC connection and turns off Bluetooth.
Car manufacturers... no need to thank me, a free car will cover it.
I don't know...
where this persistent belief that Google charges manufacturers to license its apps on Android (mainly Google Play, since once you have that, you can get everything else) . As detailed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play#Device_compatibility , the license is free of cost if your device passes the compatibility test. Somewhere in the depths of the Android documentation, they even say that they'll help you out, free of charge.
Predatory Pricing
Would this be considered Predatory pricing. If so, wouldn't that mean that it could come into the competition commissioners spotlight anyway?
Re: Predatory Pricing
Wouldn't it be difficult to prove that, by selling an LG-manufactured phone, Google are involved in predatory pricing, as such a practice would damage Google-owned Motorola Mobility. Probably why Google didn't commission Motorola to build any of the Nexus line, to avoid such allegations.
No SD to avoid some of the M$ tax?
There's no "M$ tax" for having an SD slot. They could put one in and only support ext4 formatted SD cards, and not have to license anything from Microsoft. It just wouldn't be particularly user friendly for users who wanted to pop the card out and stick it into their camera or their laptop.
Also UFS to be MS friendly I think, though its probably more for TV usage than PC. Onboard HDMI means there's less need to pull a card and pop it in the TV.
You could use run a samba server when there's a ready power supply and talk over wireless.
Any news on screen quality & brightness rather than just resolution?
Also, LCD not Super AMOLED
But hey, it's a Nexus phone, which are always missing a feature or two.
No-one mentioning Nexus vs Nexus comparison? Galaxy Nexus, last Nov/Dec model, was dual core with truly ancient gpu.
Nice to know we have so much spare energy capacity
I was worried when I read here about the coming brownouts but I guess that's sorted if we're switching to charging systems that throw away 30%.
No SD card - not much of a problem
There is software on the Play market and leads from all leading electrical retailers which together allow you to connect any USB storage to your droid phone. So for the sake of about £5, you can take a small lead and e.g. a USB microSD card reader and carry TBs of video with you on holiday.
So the missing SD issue is only fairly major, not very major.
Re: No SD card - not much of a problem
Surely this is the kind of feature that the Apple crowd have been saying is so great for years - 'so what if it's missing it, I don't need it and if you do you can buy an extra adapter'

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) "I know not what my past still has in store for me," testified the Indian spiritual poet Tukaram. I believe most of us can say the same thing, and here's why: The events that happened to us once upon a time keep transforming as we ripen. They come to have different meanings in light of the ever-new experiences we have. What seemed like a setback when it first occurred may eventually reveal itself to have been the seed of a blessing. A wish fulfilled at a certain point in our history might come back to haunt us later on. I bring up these ideas because I think you're primed to reinterpret your own past.

In that spirit, I encourage you to consider insuring your imagination. To be clear, I don't anticipate that you will have occasion to collect any settlement. Nothing bad will happen. But taking this step could be a fun ritual that might drive home to you just how important your imagination will be in the coming weeks.

text: Where Are the Republicans Defending Civil Liberties? Print article Send a Tip by Mike Flynn 6 Mar 2013 post a comment As I write this, Sen. Rand Paul is entering his 7th hour filibustering the nomination of John Brennan to head the CIA. His filibuster is driven by fundamental constitutional questions regarding due process and the powers of the Executive Branch. His performance is a one-man "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" over a core principle. I've already noted the lack of Democrats echoing his concerns. A perhaps more fundamental question is; Where are the Republicans? I have to admit, I've been fascinated by this afternoon's turn of events. Rarely has a Senator commandeered the Senate floor over a basic constitutional principle. Paul's concern isn't partisan. He is simply seeking assurances that the Executive Branch will commit to not use unmanned drones to kill US citizens, within the US border, who are suspected of supporting terror. That a US administration can't unequivocally give that assurance speaks volumes about how much liberty we've lost since 9-11. Sen. Paul is making a very courageous stand. Since the filibuster started, he has received support from GOP Sens. Lee, Rubio, Cruz, Chambliss, Toomey and Cornyn. He has also received support from Dem Sen. Ron Wyden. Where are the other GOP Senators? It isn't a rhetorical question. Without assistance from his colleagues, Sen. Paul has to keep talking in order to hold the floor. Where are the other GOP Senators? They could take a few minutes to make speeches of their own and give Paul a needed break. They could at least speak for a bit to allow him to go to the restroom. Instead, they are joining with Dems to wear him out. Do they not care about the issues raised by Sen. Paul? Are they comfortable with the Executive Branch acting as judge, jury and executioner over a US citizen suspected of involvement with terrorism? Where is Sen. McConnnell? Or Sen. Flake? Where, in particular, in Sen. McCain who wears his commitment to constitutional rights on his sleeve. Sen. Paul is walking the walk. The other GOP Senators only know how to talk. Pay attention to who comes to Sen. Paul's aid. If your Senator doesn't, be sure to ask them why. Follow me on twitter

Phone: 607-777-2956
Men's swimming and diving tops St. Bonaventure 165-135 for sixth straight dual meet win, Women drop 181-117 decision
Graham sets school-record in 3-meter dive
VESTAL, N.Y. -- The Binghamton University swimming and diving squads split a dual meet against visiting St. Bonaventure Saturday afternoon from the Patricia A. Saunders Aquatic Center.
The men's team swam past the Bonnies 165-135 to record its sixth consecutive dual meet win and improve to 6-4 on the season.
On the women's side, the Bonnies took down the host Bearcats, 181-117.
"We swam great," said head swim coach Sean Clark. "I am just ecstatic about the way our men came out today and performed. We showed a lot of heart and showed great determination in defending our home pool."
Reigning America East Diver of the week junior Ryan Graham (Vestal, N.Y.) swept the diving events and in the process broke his own school record in the 3-meter dive totaling 348 points. Graham won the 1-meter event with a score of 290.70.
In Wednesday's tri-meet versus Stony Brook and Lafayette, Graham had surpassed Jeff Cohen's school record of 306.20 set in 1996 with a score of 322.10. His recent performances have secured him a spot in the NCAA Zone 'A' Championships on March 14-16 at the University at Buffalo.
Junior Brenno Varanda (St. Petersburg, Fla.) picked up a pair of individual wins for the Bearcats. Varanda won the 200-IM in 1:55.09 and the 200-breast in a pool-record 2:06.81. His time topped former Bearcat Chris McGuire's 2:07.21 performance back in 2002.
Also contributing with individual victories for the men, was
senior Joe Rogan (Ithaca, N.Y.) and juniors Sean Lorenz (Norwich, N.Y.) and Andrew Palumbo (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.).
Rogan captured the 100-free in 48.89, Lorenz led a BU sweep in the 100-back in a time of 53.75, and Palumbo took the 100-breast in 59.44.
Juniors Kristin Maney (New Paltz, N.Y.) and Kate Hassfurter (Horseheads, N.Y.), as well as freshman Brittany Detlef (Rochester, N.Y.) led the women's efforts on the afternoon.
Maney and Hassfurter claimed the top two spots in both the 1- and 3-meter dives. Maney won the 1-meter dive with a score of 238.12, while Hassfurter claimed first in the 3-meter with a score 258.97.
Detlef captured the 200-IM in a time of 2:17.72 to record her sixth win of the season.
The Binghamton women next host conference opponent Vermont on Sunday at 11 a.m, while both teams will be back in action on Saturday, January 26 at 1 p.m. when they host Colgate in the final dual meet before the America East Championships on February 14 at the University of Maine.

SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - Shreveport police say an accused shoplifter tried to hit a store employee and deserted her two children.
The Times reports 31-year-old Natasha Robinson, of Shreveport, was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated battery, theft of goods and child desertion following an incident at a department store.
Police say Robinson was approached by a loss prevention officer about the theft and fled, leaving her 12 and 1-year-old kids in the store.
As she was driving away in her car, police say she swerved at the store employee as she drove away.
The children were released to a relative after their mother's arrest.
It was unclear whether Robinson has an attorney.

TALLAHASSEE — —The state's highest court Friday weighed whether the GOP legislature and Gov. Rick Scott broke the law when they began requiring hundreds of thousands of teachers, prison guards, nurses and other public employees to begin paying for their own retirement.
The lawsuit, led by the 140,000-member statewide teachers' union, argued that requiring public employees to contibute 3 percent of their salaries to their retirement was tantamount to a breach of contract because those workers accepted their positions with the promise of certain benefits. That included a pension plan paid for by the government.

Connecting A Solar Panel To An Electric Box
How To Connect A Solar Panel To An Electric Box?
Did you know that right now the electricity that is produced for your home is from fossil fuels? Fossil fuels are not something that can be produced forever and belong to the non renewable sources of energy. This implies that there will eventually come a day when the fuels are depleted and you will need to find another source for getting electricity to your home. You could either wait until this time comes or you could take action now by installing solar panels.
In comparison solar energy is renewable since it is derived from the sun and is eco friendly as well because its manufacture does not cause any emissions into the atmosphere. Connecting the solar device to an electric box is a task which requires the following paraphernalia -
1. Wiring solar panels
2. Charge controller
3. Batteries
4. AC inverter
5. Replace face
Solar panels are able to produce electricity by capturing the suns energy. When using the panels you are relying on the sun and not any fossil fuels.
Following the below instructions will help you connect a solar panel to an electric box appropriately:
• Wiring solar panels together gives them more voltages and amps. In order to figure how many to wire together it is important to calculate how many voltages and amps will be going out. You will also need to decide if you will use a circuit that is parallel, a series, or a combination of each.
• Locate the charge controller because this is what the solar panels will be connected to. The charge controller is going to help your deep-cycle batteries from overloading in order to ensure you get the maximum amount of life out of them.
• Converting solar energy into useable energy is done with the AC inverter. In order for the converter to work properly the deep-cycle batteries will need to be connected to it.
• Locate the wires coming out of the AC inverter. It is these wires that will be connected to the electric box. You need to kill the power before connecting any wires to the box. Once power is shut off then remove the face of the box. Look for the set of wires that are black and white. Strip some of the insulation from the wires so they can be connected to the AC inverter. Twist wires together and wrap with electrical black tape.
• Replace the face of the electric box with the screws that you removed. You are now ready to turn the power back on to the electric box. This not only gives the solar panels power but will help to power your home also. You are now ready to enjoy your solar panels.

|Release Date:
Strictly speaking, Kiyoshi Kurosawas already classic 2001 nightmare Pulse didnt score points by making linear sense. An almost unbearably scary-sad movie, the original Pulse used its trash-horror hook--the dead reclaiming Earth via telecommunication devices--as an unlikely go-point for existentially achy, uncanny meditations on urban spiritual squalor. Its "plot" was an intricate weave of seemingly disparate, uncanny images: a black splotch on a wall where a person should be, strangers furtively sticking red rape to a factory wall, a haunted woman wrapping her arms around nothing and telling it, "I love you." Dimension Films remake--directed by Jim Sonzero in color-desaturated Bucharest locations--has a decent idea of what made the original great but, in catering to American market needs, attaches to it an ungainly teen-movie frame, imposes what logic it can find in Kurosawas original, and loses the poetry in the process. Kristen Bell (TVs great Veronica Mars) plays a student whose suicide boyfriend seems to have uploaded a nasty virus that includes mpeg attachments of the deceased. Instead, it turns out the dead are Wi-Fi-ing their way into this world, leading to some OK re-creations of Kurosawas set pieces. Like Sarah Michelle Gellar in her J-horror remake, The Grudge, the intrinsically plucky Bell makes an unconvincing victim. Otherwise, not an awful picture, just profoundly unnecessary.

I just dropped mining on my prot warrior for JC. Is there a consensus on which would be a better investment for my first dragon's eye cut, dodge or parry?
Got a question? Try here: Evil Empire Guides and here: Tankspot Guides and Articles Library first!
Still, u get the max bonus from having it combined with BS Xtra sockets. Try going for the one that benefits your specific gear right now, i mean, if yo have heavy def gear, go avoid. (dodge). u might even consider a +def untill you get the def from other pieces.
Tanking since 14/feb/2006
May all your Hits be crits
honestly? 1 def dragon's eye in your trinket, the rest stam Or hit, since that's always a pain in the butt.
Don't gem for avoidance, defense, hit, or expertice if you can help it, do your best to get it from gear/enchants.
IMO, only use dragon's eyes for stamina. Use them in RED sockets first, yellow second, and NEVER put a gragons eye in a blue or prismatic socket. With three dragon's eyes, you should only have blue and yellow sockets left, use +stam gems for the blues, and +def+stam for the yellows.
u might even consider a +def untill you get the def from other pieces.Wow, there's a lot of bad advice in this thread. Defense is better in most situations because of the additional block chance it provides, and the fact that it is pretty darn close to dodge as it is.Don't gem for avoidance, defense, hit, or expertice if you can help it, do your best to get it from gear/enchants.
If you had 400 dodge rating, that's 9.488% avoidance. If you had 400 defense rating, that's 9.255% avoidance, plus 3.25% block chance (which isn't affected by DRs, btw). That's only a loss of 1/40th the avoidance, with the tradeoff being 3.25% increased block chance.
Personally, I'd never get the dodge gem, just the stamina and the defense gem.
(BTW everyone, NEWS FLASH: Defense Rating is still awesome over 540)

I am a keen runner originally attracted to yoga for fitness and to improve flexibility. I quickly learned that yoga can bring equanimity of mind as well as a release for tight hamstrings! I teach a dynamic style of Hatha yoga that is informed, creative and playful. I place a strong emphasis on correct alignment and personal assists to help each student get the most out of each session.
I have been practising yoga since 1998 and qualified with my Yoga Alliance teaching accreditation in early March 2011. My experience spans a broad range of styles and teachers, including Jivamukti, Iyengar, Bikram, Hatha and Vinyasa Flow. My initial teacher training was with Dr Elena Voyce of Teach Yoga Academy and I have studied with leading international teachers including Matthew Sandford, Kate Ellis and Françoise Freedman.
I have also recently undergone a rigorous Birthlight pregnancy teacher training course. I had a home birth in February 2013 by incorporating yoga and hypnobirthing and am excited to share the incredible Birthlight techniques with other expectant mums. I am also in the second trimester of pregnancy with my second child so I am on the journey with my pregnancy yoga students!
