ASUS Announces Transformer Book T300 - Windows 8 Detachable Tabletby Jarred Walton on 9/4/2013 2:37 PM EST

p1esk - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThat's 4.2lbs total!
Sony Vaio Pro 13 ultrabook weighs less (2.34lbs) than just the tablet part (2.42lbs) of this transformer. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkMaking a tablet that will be durable and 13.3" likely requires more thickness/materials than the VAIO Pro 13. Sony has made some very interesting devices over the years, but personally I find that they're often very flexible and cheap feeling. I keep hoping we can get a VAIO Pro 13 or similar in for review, though, so I can actually get some hands on time with it. Reply
teiglin - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI have a Vaio Pro 13 and I really love the absurdly low weight. That said, the materials are definitely in line with previous Vaios. The chassis has a ton of flex. I don't find it worrisome--it never feels like it's in danger of breaking--but it is bad enough that I can click the touchpad just by squeezing on either side of it (though Windows doesn't register the click if you don't have a finger on it, thankfully). They also didn't manage to make the laptop openable with one hand, which is annoying.
Seems to me the problem is that you need most of that weight in the tablet part, so you need to balance that weight in the dock if you want the combination to be a remotely useful laptop, unless you go the Surface route (i.e. built-in stand).
Of course, that raises the obvious question of "who actually thinks a 13" tablet is a good idea?" I certainly don't. Reply

Me. I'd like to use a tablet/laptop convertible for note taking. So something roughly the size of a notebook is rather nice. A 14" would actually be closer, but the 13" should be close enough. On the laptop side of things, 13" is the minimum for a full size keyboard. Anything smaller than 13" is awkward for my hands and really takes away from the experience. A 7" is more portable and I can see a use for it as a dedicated tablet, but 10" is getting large enough that it really isn't much more portable than the 13". The major detractor for most people is weight, but that really doesn't effect me much. At this point, I'd rather add more weight for better battery life. This transformer is basically what I've been waiting for. However, if what Jarred said about no battery in the dock is true, I'll be sorely disappointed. It'll make the difference between buying one immediately upon availability and waiting to see if another manufacturer will give me what I want. Reply
peterfares - Saturday, September 07, 2013 - linkI would have loved a detachable 13" tablet in college. I had a 12.5" Lenovo X230T convertible which is the kind where the screen swivels around and folds back down outwards. I used it in two modes: 1) laptop with touch screen for tapping and scrolling, and 2) notebook tablet.
A 13" detachable would have served both purposes better than my X230T did, or at least just as good with added flexibility. Reply
ImSpartacus - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI know what you mean.
It's funny how something can be proficiently durable, but can FEEL cheap. Reply
blandge - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkIt comes down to preference I suppose. I'd rather have a 4.2lb device with a solid chassis than a 2.3lb device that feels fragile. I am undecided between this and the sony duo 13 which manages to stay at about 3lb Reply
blandge - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI'm most likely going to get one of these. The only thing that has me on the fence is that I was expecting additional storage and battery capacity in the docking keyboard, but I'm very glad they increased the RAM to 8GB. Reply
miahshodan - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkyeah, I just bought a Fujitsu stylistic q702 because I wanted at least a battery in the keyboard dock. even if you don't care about the storage and battery, you need some weight in the dock to keep it from falling over backward when touched or leaned back.
The other problem is a 16:9 13" screen is ridiculous in portrait. Reply
ellroy80 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkLooks pretty good! The tablet part might be a bit too heavy, though. Still waiting for a Haswell Surface Pro 2, and might even hold out until Broadwell. Reply
fic2 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link"Seriously, other than children, does anyone use the rear-facing camera on their 10" and larger tablets? I know I don't."
Yes, come to one of my gf's daughter's swim meets. Parents holding up these huge tablets to record their kids "achievements". Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkWhat's sad is that most tablets have worse cameras than smartphones, so the same people recording with tablets would be better off with their smaller smartphone (assuming of course that they have one). Reply
Ktracho - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkOr go to a parade like after a World Series. It used to be you could step on something like a light pole to be able to see over the crowd. Now, even that doesn't help because so many people are holding up their large 10"+ tablets to record the parade. Reply
pixelstuff - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkA rear camera comes in handy, in a pinch, if you are creating badges. Or maybe if you are interviewing people and want to take a photo of each applicant. Reply
snoozemode - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThis but with Bay Trail. Lighter and longer battery life. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkAnd don't forget slower. Bay Trail will be a good step up from current Clover Trail chips, but Anand posted that note about a 1.5 multi-threaded score in Cinebench, which is half of what you get from Haswell ULT. More importantly, Haswell i7-4500U scores nearly as high on the single-threaded result (1.33), and I'm betting the top Bay Trail CPUs will be more like 0.5 or less for single-threaded workloads.
If the price is right, it would definitely be a nice option, but the rest of the hardware in this detachable tablet probably ends up with a $550 BoM, so $600 BoM with Bay Trail or $750 BoM with Haswell and you can sell the latter for $1200 vs. $700 if you're lucky with Bay Trail. Just speculation of course, but I think we're more likely to see something like the X102BA first. Still, ASUS has the Transformer line of tablets, so put Bay Trail in that form factor and charge $50 extra to cover the Windows 8 license? Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkI'd be all over a Transformer with Bay Trail and Windows 8 for ~$600... Anything larger/pricier and I'drather just have a more powerful/normal laptop. Reply
nerd1 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkAny active digitizer support? Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkNo, it doesn't appear so. Reply
JNo - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link"though I'd love to be surprised and see it below $800"
That would be a *massive* surprise. I'd be surprised to see it at £1000 for i5 and 128gb ssd. This is Asus and they're never cheap. They're quality sure but you don't get bargains with them from what I've seen.
The HP Split X2 (would love a review) starts at $750. That's core i3, 64gb ssd, 4gb ram and very very sadly a 1366 screen (Why HP? Why?!).
BUT it does have a battery in the base. And room for an extra ssd/hdd in the base. Such a shame Asus don't think to have these things in their keyboard bases.
Can configure HP Split X2 for core i5, 8gb ram, 128gb ssd + 500gb hdd, ac wifi, just not the screen... Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkFWIW, Vizio should be doing something decent with a $800 price point, so it can certainly be accomplished. I just don't think ASUS is interested in that market, which I suppose is fine, but I don't think many people are buying $1000+ Ultrabooks. What they end up doing is picking them up for $700-$800 when they go on clearance. Heh. Reply
JNo - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkLove the Vizio, look, ethos and reviews. Just wish they had presense in the UK!
If Vizio really are doing a convertible then that'd be awesome. Luckily good ol' ebay has sellers willing to post laptops abroad... Reply
pjcamp - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - link"Seriously, other than children, does anyone use the rear-facing camera on their 10" and larger tablets? "
Yes. Students in physics labs for video analysis of moving objects. The laptop provides a steady base when you don't have a tripod and web cam handy. Reply

Adnan Oktar: Dying is a blessing. I sometimes see people crying at the funerals of martyrs. The martyrs go to heaven directly when they die. So, why do you cry? Rather, you should rejoice and be proud. The family of a martyr receive honor and their son goes right to heaven. In the world, they won't see the difficulty… Their son in the heaven will welcome his family. If they are the people who hope to go the heaven, they will be together forever in the heaven. What else one desire?
Thanks to Allah that a martyr's going to heaven is guaranteed. Martyrdom is a kind of living. They directly go to hereafter. They live there in separates but they really have no idea that they are in fact martyrs. So, when the people die or martyrize one should not cry. This is something improper. Do we cry when a baby is born? But they cry when a person dies. Allah creates the birth and the death. In both cases, trust in Allah and see it as a blessing Insha'Allah.

SOMERS, Wis. - Matheus Assis has earned the Philip Hunsaker CollegeSwimming.com Men's Division II Swimmer of the Week as it was announced by the organization. He earns the NCAA Division II for the period over the Christmas holidays.
Assis collected two NCAA automatic qualifying times and two NCAA provisional qualifying times at the Nova Southeastern Invitational. He swam the 50-yard freestyle preliminary with an NCAA automatic qualify time of 20.02 seconds. This time also tied his original SSC and Saint Leo school record set last year, while also setting a meet record.
In the 100-yard freestyle preliminary, Assis set another conference, school and meet record with an NCAA automatic qualifying time of 43.89 seconds. Both his 50- and 100-yard freestyle times are currently the fastest in Division II this season.
The native of Brazil recorded an NCAA provisional time in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 48.32 seconds. His time also set conference, school and meet records. Assis was the lead leg for the 400-yard freestyle relay team that captured an NCAA provisional time of 3:00.29 for second place in the race.
Assis and the rest of the Lions' men's and women's swim teams have returned to campus and will be celebrating the New Year preparing for the Orange Bowl Classic on January 3, 2014. Saint Leo will begin the meet in Key Largo, Fla. at 2 p.m.

Benjamin Franklin always accepted the US constitution might be changed; "the only things we can be certain of are death and taxes," he wrote to French scientist Jean-Baptiste Leroy (if Leroy had known about the planned new top rate of 75 per cent in France he'd surely have agreed).
Death is not really relevant to investors; you can't take it with you, after all. But taxes are vital – and often ignored by those looking back at past returns.
This makes some charts from Stanhope Capital, which runs money for wealthy families and charities, particularly handy. Jonathan Bell at Stanhope looked back at past tax rates in the UK and calculated the returns needed merely to beat inflation, for a top-rate tax payer. Read more

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Belt-tightening broadcasters continue to take hard-line stances against older, modestly performing shows.
CBS has canceled long-running military action-drama "The Unit" and veteran crime drama "Without a Trace," and NBC is putting an end to Thursday night comedy mainstay "My Name Is Earl" and thriller "Medium." The moves come after late-in-the-game saves for relatively new fan favorites like NBC's "Chuck" and Fox's "Dollhouse."
There's some potential silver lining -- "Medium" producer CBS TV Studios is close to setting the show on CBS, while "Earl" studio 20th TV is talking to Fox and ABC about one of the networks possibly picking up the comedy.
And hours after 20th TV-produced "The Unit" was canceled, the studio's syndication arm, Twentieth TV, announced that the military drama starring Dennis Haysbert has been sold in syndication for a fall 2010 launch.
In the wake of NBC's cancellation of "Medium," CBS Studios issued a statement blasting the network about its decision and the way it was handled.
"NBC's cancellation of 'Medium' is inexplicable to us," the statement said. "The ratings don't lie: 'Medium' outperforms many of NBC's renewed shows."
ABC in particular has been receptive to picking up rival shows, having taken "Scrubs" after NBC canceled the series last year and committing to take on "The New Adventures of Old Christine" should CBS have canceled the series (The eye network opted to renew the comedy).
Both "Earl" and "The Unit" ran four seasons; "Medium" for five; "Trace" for seven. "Earl" averaged 4.5 million viewers this season, "The Unit" pulled 9.6 million viewers, and "Medium" drew 7.2 million viewers.

|SW Chute/Traverse
Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2011
|A LOT of snow in Dusy Basin still and all the way up the SW Chute. Went in approach shoes w/ no axe or crampons, had to stick to the moat on the side of the couloir. Wandered too far left and topped out near the north (smaller) summit. Dicked around trying to get on top of it for a while until we realized it was the wrong one. We were attempting the traverse so instead of wasting more time once we got to the real summit trying to lasso the block, we headed on.

|Ascended the right hand Underhill couloir with SMG. Bergschrund was passable by end running it - a few more cracks present around it too. The slope angle in the couloir was up to 50 or so degrees in places. We passed the chockstone on the left with an awkward move. A pitch of rock at the end of couloir puts you on the summit ridge, where 3rd class and exposed 4th/low 5th climbing leads you to a short, easy but exposed traverse to the base of the summit block. Thanks to Darren and Alex for the leads. Lassoed and free-climbed the summit block - a lot of fun (a short bouldering problem, essentially)!

Aaron lasso'd the summit block quickly and we aided up, climbed the summit block via the Bob Burd method with the figure 8s on a bite. I will have to go back to lead it. :-)
We had some route finding issues and accidentally climbed the lightning rod. Desended via Underhill Couloir; lots of rappel slings already in place. Rappeled off a snow bollard over the bergshrund the base of Underhill due to not having crampons on the steep slopes.
We had ambitions to complete the traverse as a secondary objective but the route finding issues set us back.

Left the summit around 6 or so and descended back down the Chute to Barrett Lake where our friends were waiting for us at camp. Stumbled into the tent at dusk and passed out. Great outing.

#2: July 14, 2006 - Previous day's climb with Vlad Sofiyev took 'longer' than expected. We accidentally did a new route on the N Face of Mt Agassiz. Doh!
#3: March 28-30, 2007 - My canister stove failed and Mark Strahan's white gas stove failed at 3rd Lake. Doh!
#4: September 5-7, 2009 - via N Couloir with Jonathan Bye and Henry Steinberg. Bergschrund was a challenging brittle water ice on alpine ice climb, but a memorable lead. Took longer than expected due to the ice and my friends decided they didn't like the idea of sleeping on the ridge, so we bailed down the SW Chute #1 after finishing the route. Doh!
#5: June 19-21, 2010 - Made it to the summit block with Steph Abegg on our attempt at the Palisade Traverse. We were running late and couldn't get the rope on the summit block any better than slinging a bolt pin during our agreed 10 minute time limit, so we had to move on.

I'm still having trouble getting desired temps in my bullet smoker. While Queing a Roasted Garlic Butter Chicken yesterday, for only a few short moments did I achieve 170+ then it dropped back down. I'm thinking of drilling a few more holes in the fire pan for ventilation and if that doesn't work I'll be in the market for something new. I know low-n-slow is the philosophy and all but I would like to be able to maintain 200-250 at least.
I did a few mod's to my Mr. Meat Smoker to see if they would help and although I like the changes the temps are still down. I took the legs out from the inside and attached them on the outside. Since the fire pan rested on the legs, I made new legs out of bolts for the fire pan. Now I can lift the entire smoker off the fire pan for full access without having to open the smoker and let the heat out.
I also tried gravel in the water pan as a thermal mass instead of using water this time. I know this doesn't raise the temperature but it helps to regulate a more even temperature.
Being an older smoker, the fire pan was manufactured with a hole in the center for ventilation. They've since stopped putting a hole in fire pans because people were setting their wooden decks on fire when hot ash fell through the hole. I am on concrete so it's not a concern.
I do notice a nice low fire in the coals when I tend the fire, but how can I get hotter temps??? Do I need to drill more holes in the fire pan? This smoker doesn't have any vents…do you think adding an after market vent would help or just let out the rest of the heat?
I'm open for ideas and from what we've see if earlier posts, even simple ones that may be considered insignificant could make the difference.
Thanks, Bob.

There were delays this morning on the M65 and A59 after accidents.
At 4am, a lorry heading towards Blackburn from Clitheroe over-turned leading to the A59 being closed near Langho.
The driver was initially trapped inside the vehicle but was released and suffered no serious injuries.
Meanwhile, a pedestrian was hit by a HGV on the M65 westbound between Junctions Five and Four at about 6am.
Due to slow moving traffic there were no serious injuries and the road has now reopened.

Removals in Stockport
We are your removal company in Stockport. With affordable price rates and professional drivers, we are the leading company for removals in Stockport.
Established in 1988, Hillside Kitchens set out to build a business based on reputation and customer service alone. Through word of mouth, the business prospered and moved to a larger showroom with its own onsite warehouse. Over the next 21 years the business expanded into bathrooms, office, bedroom furniture and had begun to provide small building works as well. In 2011 the business was acquired by Graham Ormerod Jnr. and with a change of name to HKB, began a process of rigorous reinvestment. This involved updating the showroom to allow for larger displays and purchasing new equipment to create an even better end product. And yet despite these improvements, HKB still prides itself on providing exceptional customer service placing the client at the heart of every project. Unlike others, we spend the time to find out the desires and requirements of each and every one of our customers.

This Sunday, Mo Rocca double clicks on delicious as Food(ography) explores the food websites, bloggers, and social networking that are changing our culinary mainframe.
Log on to see bloggers like Matt Armendariz who meticulously style and snap food, a 12 year old culinary prodigy who masters the kitchen and the web, and internet sensation Hungry Girl, who shares low-cal recipes with 1 million of her closest online friends.
Plus detour down the information superhighway with the wackier side of the World Wide Web as viral video vixens shake up cocktails, and molecular gastro-girl Salty Seattle mixes fashion with food.
Catch it all this Sunday at 9pm ET on Food(ography). Keep reading for more details…
ALIE & GEORGIA from FOOD2.COM
Video vixens Alie Ward and Georgia Hardstark started with nothing more than a passion for crazy cocktails, but that's all it took to land them a prime spot on Food2.com, a hub for tongue-in-cheek web-surfing food people everywhere.
Try a Dot Calm — their version of the hot toddy — and watch some of our favorite episodes of Drinks with Alie and Georgia:
MATT ARMENDARIZ from MATT BITES
Rising star Matt Armendariz art directed food shoots for years, but wanted to figure out how to get the perfect food shot all on his own. After four years of diving into the ins and out of food photography and styling, he put his photography, writing and design skills all in one place — his food blog MattBites.
Matt is a regular contributor here on Cooking Channel's blog, Devour. Read some of his recent posts:
RITA LADANY of FOOD.COM
One of Food.com's 1.5 million users, Rita logs on as many as five times a day in search of new recipes to cook for her family. Just call her Mom 2.0. Indian? Moroccan? Thai? It's all there, recipes shared by other users of the site.
Rita found the perfect recipe to use up some leftover wonton wrappers from the previous week. Did you say Lasagna Cupcakes?
Rita has shared many of her own recipes on Food.com, and sometimes just added photos to recipes from other users of the site.
Are you hungry? So is Lisa Lillien, a woman whose recipe newsletters sparked an empire. So great was the demand for people seeking low-calorie recipes for their favorite foods, that Lisa's Hungry Girl newsletter circulation has grown to a whopping 1 million plus readers… daily!
Today, Hungry Girl recipes have jumped from online to New York Times bestselling cookbooks, to Hungry Girl TV episodes on Cooking Channel. Sample some of Lisa's most popular recipes:
- H-O-T Hot Boneless Buffalo Wings (175 calories)
- Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries (204 calories)
- Yum Yum Brownie Muffins (181 calories)
Etsy.com has taken everything we once knew about mail-order catalogs and put it all online. With over 400,000 vendors selling everything from handmade crafts to artisan foods, one is bound to find exactly what they're looking for. Etsy has made it easy for people to start their own food businesses and sell their wares to a very large customer base.
Chef Kitty Greenwald from Eatsy (Etsy's food program) makes a chocolate tart with a sweet caramel layer, all from ingredients sold on Etsy:
- Chocolate Orange Cardamom Shortbread Cookies from Whimsy and Spice
- Caramels from Have it Sweet
- Tangerine Kumquat Jam from Lemon Bird
The latest mobile app, Foodspotting, will figure out where you are, and point you to the best dishes within your vicinity. Over half a million food spotters, from Baltimore to Brussels, share their finds using nothing more than their smart phones.
Enthusiasts go on food treasure hunts for dishes featuring an ingredient du jour, bringing them to restaurant after restaurant, where the objective is not only to enjoy the meal, but photograph the experience.

Community Invited to Ithaca College Veterans Day Celebration
ITHACA, NY — Members of the community are invited to join in honoring our nation's veterans at Ithaca College's Ninth Annual Veterans Day Celebration on Thursday, Nov. 10. The one-hour program begins at noon in Ford Hall in the Whalen Center.
The ceremony will feature a welcome by Carl Sgrecci, vice president for finance and administration, and musical performances by the Ithaca College Brass Choir and IC VoICes. LeBron Rankins, staff psychologist in the Center for Counseling and Psychological Services, will deliver the keynote address.
Rankins joined the U.S. Army at the age of 17, serving as a dental specialist on active duty for eight years and in the reserves for two years, rising to the rank of sergeant. His responsibilities included providing direct care to military personnel and their dependents, managing dental facilities and training enlisted personnel. Rankins held assignments at bases in five states as well as in Germany and the Netherlands and served in the Sinai Peninsula as a member of the Multinational Peacekeeping and Observers Force.
After leaving the military, Rankins earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from Central State University and his master's and doctoral degrees from Kent State. At Ithaca College he provides clinical services to students and coordinates the Suicide Awareness and Prevention Program.
On display at the event will be a set of red, white, and blue pillowcases that were sewn by a group of faculty, staff, students and Longview residents. The pillowcases will be shipped to military members serving overseas.
The celebration is sponsored by the IC Veterans Day Committee, School of Music and Division of Finance and Administration. For more information, visit www.ithaca.edu/veterans or contact committee cochair Jane Ray at email@example.com or 607-274-5773.

AT&T to turn on iPhone MMS switch late morning Pacific Time Friday
0. phoneArena posted on 24 Sep 2009, 12:34
Champagne corks will pop, cats and dogs will play in harmony, Yankee fans will hug Red Sox fans and the iPhone will send/receive MMS tomorrow...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. MrTmo (Posts: 9; Member since: 20 Sep 2009)
WOW.. a few years behind aren't we Iphone?
3. drewsky (Posts: 147; Member since: 04 Jan 2009)
YEP.Some blame ATT others Apple. I heard that Apple was saying MMS was outdated.
7. The Doc (Posts: 122; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
Maybe At&t should use the money that they are paying the celebrities for advertising towards their coverage... Mary, Hayden, etc... Verizon, IMO, uses their money on much more important things. Coverage, customer service, coverage, STI, coverage... No need to get a celebrity as a spokesman. The Network speaks for itself.
8. shimmyx20 (Posts: 280; Member since: 03 Mar 2009)
Now days, it seems that most people I know usually share pictures on Facebook or Flikr instead of MMS
12. Mateo8326 (Posts: 472; Member since: 15 Jul 2009)
It's both of there fault AT&T for not putting it on there early and Apple for not have the ability on there device to do it. it shouldn't of taken that long for them to do this i mean come on even the oldest nokia in history can send mms...lol AT&T is putting more money in there coverage, that way people are having problems with there iphone there too much networking at one time on the device then they excpected, so the supply is much more than the demand sill AT&T
2. shimmyx20 (Posts: 280; Member since: 03 Mar 2009)
Yay. People can now resume sending me stupid pictures...any MMS that I've gotten in the last couple years were dumb pictures that people forwarded on.
4. The Godfather (unregistered)
wow congrats mister advanced GOD phone, maybe you can now work on getting reception in more than 45% of America. God Bless teh Pay Phone Finder app
16. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
People say it's a great phone, but no one says it's the God phone. Maybe some of you guys get YouTube videos confused with real life. But like I said before, there are too many iPhone haters and Verizon users on this site. I always feel so underrepresented when I go to an iPhone article. I'm not too happy about MMS coming so late but why are some of you guys making more of a big deal than the iPhone users are? Why don't the Verizon users go to the thread about the Touch Pro 2 and talk about Verizon's success with the phone even before it has even launch. Currently only 1 person has commented there, and I think that's pretty sad. But I guess there won't be that many opportunities to bash Apple about MMS in the future so you guys are just getting out if your systems. No iPhone hater complains about copy and paste (as much) anymore, so I give MMS a month before you guys find something else about the iPhone to complain about. But you guys better think fast because you're running out of things to complain about.
20. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
i complain about the iphone's gay commercials. apps, apps, apps, enough with the apps! lets see what the phone can really do!
5. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
well it's about time. the network will probably get over loaded and there will be outages.
6. anarkie (Posts: 48; Member since: 28 Jan 2009)
I can't wait to see how this one works out. It'll either be a great success or colossal failure. For my friends on AT&T I hope for success, but for my personal entertainment, I hope for a fail.
9. knuckleballer34 (Posts: 119; Member since: 27 Jul 2009)
Maybe they can bring "America's fastest 3G network" to more than 5% of it's coverage area. I love hearing people where I live brag "I just got an iPhone 3GS", and then telling them "congratulations; there's no 3G services within 75 miles."
10. iceman23 (Posts: 31; Member since: 21 Sep 2009)
Do you live in the Democratic Republic of Congo?
11. Arielnyc2006 (unregistered)
But it is possible that in the jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo there is better cell reception than ATT offers in Chicago and NYC
13. ICanAffordVZW (Posts: 123; Member since: 15 Dec 2008)
Have you looked at ATTs 3G coverage map...there are plenty of places in America that you need to drive a long distance to have 3G coverage.
15. knuckleballer34 (Posts: 119; Member since: 27 Jul 2009)
No, rural Louisiana. There are places here where AT&T is the only coverage available, but there's no chance of ever getting broad 3G coverage around here. Which is sad, considering AT&T is supposed to be "dominant" in the southeast/gulf coast region.
14. bronxbomber (Posts: 82; Member since: 10 Apr 2009)
17. DOGIEFRESH (Posts: 309; Member since: 15 Jul 2009)
Maybe those guys who says theres no ATT 3G services for sure lives with the Amishs....!!!
18. knuckleballer34 (Posts: 119; Member since: 27 Jul 2009)
On the contrary, I live in a moderate size town of about 20,000. If your not in a fairly large city, the chances of getting 3G services are slim to none. At&t's 3G coverage area, in terms of size, is not very large at all. We get Verizon 3G here, but no At&t. It's not like it makes a difference anyway, since their 3G network really isn't all that great from my experiences.
19. trentsinmypants (Posts: 324; Member since: 29 Jan 2009)
Does anyone know if this update is getting pushed out via iTunes? I dont have the MMS option on my 3G iPhone and I would like to start using this feature (finally)

Forget the Rockies. Winter blahs melt away as you hit the gas on a snowmobile and blast along ancient mountain ridges or wander through pristine woodlands in Newfoundland and Labrador.

What can I say… I was inspired by both the screensaver on Apple TV and the ease of use of Adobe Flex. So, in a day, I whipped up a little side project that combined those two elements along with the images of flickr.
It is not often I toot my own horn, but in this case toot toot. I'm actually proud of it.
My creation is the flickr ticker.
By default the ticker shows the currently uploaded photos in an Apple TV like stream. But if you go to http://explore.flickrticker.com you will see flickr's most interesting stream by. Additionally I added a way to show both flickr member's and photos in flickr groups in this manner. The easiest way to see this (if you are a flickr member) is to use a little Greasemonkey script I wrote (found here).
If you have feature requests or find bugs, let me know.

HOUSTON - A man was flown to a hospital after a tree came crashing down on him in northwest Harris County.
Two men were cutting the tree from the base of the tree at a home on Bamwood near Ella about 10:15 a.m. Thursday, which officials said caused it to topple over.
Some neighbors said the men did not appear to know what they were doing.
"He seemed to be really uncoordinated," Flor Sanchez said. "He kept cutting and watching."
Witness Albert Sanchez said the men seemed to have an unconventional way of cutting trees down.
"We were worried because after he cut it, he started to put the rope on the tree," Sanchez said. "We figured he should have supported it first."
Sanchez said he thought the men should have taken the tree down in pieces instead of taking all of it down from the base.
"The guy just cut straight through and whenever they were trying to get the support ropes to throw it on there, it was just wobbling around," he said.
Officials said the men were trying to get the tree to fall north, but it fell west instead. The tree hit one of the men and threw him into the air.
The man was taken by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Officials said he suffered head injuries.
Officials have not said if the men were licensed tree cutters.

Brussels - EU ministers held crisis talks Wednesday to seek a rapid regional response to a scandal over mislabelled frozen meat products that is widening across Europe by the day.
The snap talks, starting at 1700 GMT, came a day after British police searching for the source of horsemeat found in kebabs and burgers raided two meat plants, and France became the second European Union nation after Britain to report horsemeat posing as beef in frozen food.
Earlier Wednesday, Germany announced a find of suspect lasagne in its most populous state, and just as the talks were to kick off Swiss supermarket giant Coop reported horsemeat in its lasagne.
"We need a solution fast," said Britain's food and environment minister Owen Paterson on arriving in Brussels for the food scandal talks.
"The quicker we get this resolved the quicker we can get confidence established across Europe in our food systems and the products."
Paterson, as well as Ireland's farming minister Simon Coveney, called on arrival for the EU to agree the introduction of DNA testing of frozen foods.
"We have the technology now to test food," Coveney said. "We need to test to ensure food is what it says it is. I think that will involve DNA testing across Europe."
Both the Irish minister and France's minister for consumer affairs Benoit Hamon said another protective measure would be to slap country-of-origin tags - currently used only for freah meats - on processed foods.
"What's happening here is fraud." Coveney added. "People are selling cheap horsemeat as beef. We need to get this out of the food chain fast."
The hastily convened talks between the EU states most affected by the food scare - Britain, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania and Sweden - and the EU's health commissioner Tonio Borg were aimed at exchanging information and deciding a plan of action.
Further action will be examined Friday at an extraordinary meeting of an EU "Food Chain" committee, and at February 25 talks of the bloc's 27 farm ministers.
French President Francois Hollande warned the scandal could seriously damage the country's frozen food sector.
Since Britain last week discovered horsemeat in frozen lasagne sold under the Findus label, but processed by French firm Comigel, the scandal has engulfed Europe.
German supermarket chain Kaiser's Tengelmann took its own frozen lasagne off shelves, 24 hours after supermarkets in Switzerland and the Netherlands became the latest to pull ready-made meals as anger grows across Europe.
And then Switzerland's supermarket giant Coop said it had found horsemeat in its own-brand frozen lasagne produced by Comigel.
Comigel, based in northeastern France, has denied all wrongdoing, saying it bought meat from another French firm, Spanghero, through its own Luxembourg subsidiary. Spanghero said it was supplied by two abattoirs in Romania.
Traders in Cyprus and the Netherlands were also reportedly involved in the supply chain.
Romania denied being to blame and its agriculture minister Daniel Constantin again insisted on arrival that "all the horse meat provided by the Romanian companies that was placed on the EU market was correctly labelled."
"We participate today in this meeting ready to support the common effort to clarify the situation created at EU level," he said.
As pressure piled on the EU to act, Interbev, an association representing the French cattle and meat industry, said this week that both consumers and professionals wanted swift action on better labelling.
Raids by British police and officials from the Food Standards Agency on Tuesday at a slaughterhouse in northern England and a meat-producing factory in Wales however opened a new front in the pan-European search for the source of the horsemeat.
Both sites were shut and all meat seized.
Andrew Rhodes, operations director of the FSA, said he had ordered an audit of abattoirs that produce horsemeat in Britain when the scandal arose "and I was shocked to uncover what appears to be a blatant misleading of consumers."
French retailer Picard has said tests had confirmed that horsemeat was present in two lots of frozen "beef" lasagne meals made by Comigel.
Retailers in Britain, Sweden, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands have been removing Comigel products after the firm alerted Swedish frozen food giant Findus to the presence of horsemeat in its meals last week. - Sapa-AFP

LONDON - Day One:
The refreshingly crisp London air and glorious sunshine are the perfect welcome to start our Olympic coverage. I'm even doubting I'll encounter a mosquito, compared to our juicy medal winners at home.
Traffic, on the other hand, well... at least it's good bonding time with my crew as we map out our day: Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, the usual places to find Brits and tourists who won't mind talking to this Texan about all things Olympics.
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying our driver's accent as I resist the temptation to mimic him for fear of doing an inadequate job. He's a gentle bloke, so I don't think he'll mind. Before I belt out my first "Blimey," I'm distracted by people on bicycles who are passing us. It's beginning to give us a rash.
We pick up the pace on the Tube from the Tower Hill station heading to Westminster to capture video of the crowds and make TV magic happen. I noticed we're on the line that leads to Richmond, which is where I went to college for a semester my freshman year. Something tells me I won't have time for a visit this go around.
A young lady chats us up. Toting a large camera always leads to questions, which we gladly answer. I wonder how many media types she's encountered this day alone? It's like a sea of tripods around here.
All in all, everyone seems pretty pumped about the games. I'm amazed at how many people have tickets to events, and frankly they're amazed as to how they got them -- lottery, friend, friend of a friend. All of the locals' previous gripes about traffic and security took a backseat to today's weather, which by British standards was incredibly toasty -- mid 80s. For us, not too much of a royal pain.
Don't miss my reports today on KPRC Local 2 News at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Oliver Schulze Managing Director, agorum® Software GmbH
Obtaining software easily from the cloud is clearly one of the most important recent innovations in IT, but the actual steps into the cloud can be a challenge, particularly for medium-sized software companies. In addition, Software as a Service (SaaS) requires high-performing and secure data center capabilities. This is where Fujitsu Cloud Services steps in to support ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) in customizing their solutions. Baden-Wuerttemberg–based agorum® Software GmbH profited from this approach and is now one of the independent software providers who offer their products worldwide via Fujitsu's SaaS platform. For the customers of agorum®, using the company's software in the cloud is now possible.
As the provider of document management system (DMS) agorum® core, the company agorum® Software GmbH has been in business since 1998. The firm's DMS solution is aimed primarily at small- and medium-sized businesses. Previously, sales followed a classic per-user license model. In today's IT environment, this approach no longer suffices. "The requests for cloud-based document management solutions are constantly increasing," explains Stefan Roecker, head of marketing for agorum®. "To meet this demand, we decided to work with Fujitsu Cloud Services."

Thank you.
After the CF-28, Panasonic switched from a magnesium case to some sort of hardened plastic. I actually went from a CF-29 down to a CF-28 because I preferred the magnesium over the plastic. All CF-xx Toughbooks pass the same stringent strength and durability tests so one could conclude magesium versus plastic is just a personal preference.
Brand new Toughbooks carry a hefty price tag. I was trying to save you some money by suggesting a used Toughbook. If you're dead set on buying a new laptop, I'm sure there are many other quality laptops out there that will you suit your needs at a much lower cost than a new Toughbook.
what about mini laptop of hp?
I have Lenovo X60 .....works great!

Impressively, the Lions tallied 15 total wins between the two squads.
The men posted a 7-3 combined record between singles and doubles, while the women went an astounding 8-3.
For the men, the 12th-seeded Victor Lozier, got things rolling for the Green and Gold as he paced Florida Tech's Brent Gutierrez in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. He advances to play West Alabama's Nathan Leavitt on Friday at 8:30 a.m.
Tim Balz-Herrmann fell in straight sets to fall to the backdraw, but the sixteenth-seeded Alou Adjenak put the Lions back on track with an overwhelming win over Valdosta's Bernhard Wallner, 6-4, 6-3. He advances to play Lynn's Vlad Cirla on Friday at 8:30 a.m.
The fourteenth-seeded Matt Nicholson-Lewis kept the moment going as he used three sets to upend Florida Tech's Nicolas Clerc, 6-1, 2-6, 10-4. Nicholson-Lewis advances to Friday's second round to play Palm Beach Atlantic's Giuseppe Guarnieri at 8:30 a.m. on Friday.
Newcomer Antoine Raffaelli impressed in his Lions' debut as he dumped Rollins' Jason Alabaster in consecutive sets, 6-4, 6-0. He advances to take on West Florida's Leandro Ferreira at 10:00 a.m. on Friday.
Jose Morales wrapped-up singles play by dropping his match to Lynn's Alessio Iannozzi, 6-2, 6-2. However, Jake Fleischer posted two consecutive wins to top off singles action. He blanked New Orleans' Daniel Popilous, 6-0, 6-0, before taking down West Alabama's Nestor Vargas in a hard-fought three set victory, 1-6, 6-1, 7-5 (10-5). He awaits Rollins' Lucas Jovita for a 10:00 a.m. showdown on Friday.
Doubles action saw the tandem of Adjenak and Fleishcer open doubles with an impressive 8-1 win over Eckerd's Stephen Felman and Kyle Zugelter. After a slight 8-5 setback to Barry's Olivier Lemaitre and Kevin Sielmann, the Lions' top-ranked doubles pair, and two-seeded tandem of Lozier and Nicholson-Lewis dominated the New Orleans pair of Dominik Kardell and Daniel Populus, 8-2.
On the evening, Head Coach James Bryce stated, "It was great to get back on the court and watch the guys compete again. We got off to a good start and have 5 men in the main draw still. I'm particularly happy for Jake Fleischer and Antoine Raffaelli for getting their first wins in a Lions' uniform.
The men will return to the court Friday, September 23, when they take part in second round and backdraw action from the Valdosta State Tennis Facility. For the latest news, information, and updates on both the men's tennis teams, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

WORCESTERSHIRE will soon be awash with poppies thanks to the hard work of a Malvern woman.
Chantel Summerfield has organised the Poppy Project which encourages schools, colleges and other organisations such as brownies, guides and scouts, to create a garden of remembrance by giving them free packs of poppy seeds.
The project is part of this summer's plans to commemorate 100 years since the First World War broke out in August 1914.
Miss Summerfield, who is secretary for the Herefordshire and Worcestershire branch of the Western Front Association, has already seen 150 schools sign up to take part.
She said: "I appealed for a grant from the Western Front Association and we were given £400.
"We are aiming to get all the schools in Herefordshire and Worcestershire interested in the First World War and learning about it so it doesn't get forgotten.
"We are offering the seeds to all schools and organisations around the county.
"We've even sent seeds to Glasgow and Reading.
"All we ask is that they involve the children and send us a picture.
"It's a simple act which hopefully will go on and on."
The schools are being asked to plant the seeds over the coming weeks so the gardens begin to flower around August, to coincide with the centenary.
Seeds are also being planted at the grass verge, near to Countrywide, at Newland, by Malvern Town Council as part of the project.
Miss Summerfield, of Frederick Road, said: "We are hoping there will be red across the two counties."
Anyone interested in taking part in the project should email email@example.com

A playoff win at home isn't as easy as it used to be
Friday, January 14, 2005
By Chico Harlan, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Long ago, three words fused into one phrase -- Home. Field. Advantage. -- and when somebody dropped that phrase into the cauldron of sports debate, it became a term that warped under the pressure of myth and fact. It grew from a statistical trend into a built-in sporting phenomenon. It developed such a roll-off-the-tongue acceptance, who even bothered to notice that home teams in the NFL playoffs have lost six of the past 14 league championship games?
Peter Diana, Post-Gazette
The Steelers take their first step into the playoffs tomorrow against the New York Jets at Heinz Field, enjoying the coveted 'home field advantage' of football lore and legend. And the roaring support of their hometown fans.

Home-field advantage became a duty. Strive for it. Earn it. Protect it.
"From the time you start with football," Steelers cornerback Chad Scott said, "everybody talks about winning at home. That's part of the football mentality."
At its foundation, home-field advantage is instinctive, a primal desire to protect one's surroundings. For athletes, the desire rings so true that the phrase has rearranged itself into a pop-culture omnipresence. In a commercial for sporting gear company Under Armour, a football player screams, with animalistic urgency, "We must protect this house!" A recent VISA television ad features several New England Patriots barking about their desire to prevent opponents from winning at home -- where, incidentally, the Patriots have won 19 consecutive games.
To heck with the facts and myths of home-field advantage -- we'll get to that later. Home field, more than anything, is perpetuated by pride. Right now, the Steelers find themselves on a walkway to the Super Bowl. They need only two victories, both of which would come at Heinz Field, to get there. "And when you come to Heinz Field," running back Jerome Bettis said, "you're not going to leave with a win."
As the AFC's No. 1 seed, the Steelers play host to the New York Jets tomorrow at Heinz Field, a stadium where they have yet to lose this season. If they win tomorrow they'll be back at Heinz next weekend.
But no guarantees, remember. For all one can say to evidence the truth of home-field advantage -- one example: home playoff teams, since 1970, have won 70 percent of their games -- the Steelers have done much in the past decade to raise doubts. On Jan. 15, 1995, the Steelers lost at Three Rivers Stadium in the AFC championship to the underdog Chargers. Three years later, they lost in similar fashion to the Denver Broncos. By the time New England shocked the Steelers at Heinz Field in January 2002, such losses had become a trend; a painful, embarrassing trend.
Advantage or not, failing to protect one's home field creates discord in the whole football cosmos. Strive, earn, protect ... strive, earn, protect -- that's what players have trained themselves to expect.
"Nah, man," Scott said, when asked about Steelers' playoff struggles at home.
Interview over. He walked away, unwilling to talk.
THE HOME TEAM, in Vegas, generally receives a three-point edge in the point spread. If, for instance, the Steelers and Patriots were judged as equals when playing at a neutral site, the Steelers would be favored by three points in a game played at Heinz Field; New England would be favored by three in a game played at Gillette Stadium. By a prognosticator's eye, a home stadium is good for a field goal.
But more accurately, home field, sandwiched between the gap of myth and fact, defies any general rule. By some accounts, home-field advantage is the push an NFL team needs to reach the Super Bowl. "It was a big advantage for us," said Franco Harris, a Steeler with four championship rings. "In playoff games, there's an energy and emotion in the stands that can play a lot into what happens on the field."
By other accounts, home field is an element so often assumed to be advantageous, people forget about the pitfalls. Said former Steelers coach Chuck Noll: "There are some downsides to being at home, too -- people asking you for tickets, family concerns. A lot of outside distractions."
Fact is, home teams win NFL playoff games at a remarkably stable rate. In each of the past four decades, home teams have won between 67 and 73 percent of their games. Despite that, many perceive that the advantage of home field has dissipated in the past decade. New stadiums, with their sterile ambience, tend to suffocate the loudest fans. Player movement through free agency melts away each team's identity. And most important, perhaps, a few statistical trends are starting to indicate that playing at home means less than ever.
Since the NFL created its current, 12-team playoff format in 1990, only half of all No. 1 seeds (14 of 28) have advanced to the Super Bowl. Teams playing at home lost just four conference championships in the entire 1980s; home teams have lost four times in four years since 2000. Even last week, three of four road teams won their wild-card playoff games.
"I would not say the league is inclined to be a place where home field doesn't mean anything," Steelers president Art Rooney II said. "The league has always understood that there should be a home-field advantage, but it's just a fact of life now that there is more parity than ever."
Even so, playing at home comes packaged with natural benefits. The top two playoff seeds in each conference receive an extra off week, perfect for healing injured players. Home teams depend on crowd noise to stunt opposing offenses. Teams spend their whole season, as the Steelers did in 2004, aiming for those rewards.
Then, once you earn all that, you just hope it makes a difference.
THE FIELD is a variable, a huge variable. Arrowhead in Kansas City? Ear-splitting. Any dome? Tends to be tough. Arizona? Most parking lots are louder.
When the Steelers opened Heinz Field in 2001, the team had concerns about losing a slice of its home-field advantage, and for good reason. Three Rivers Stadium, where Pittsburgh played from 1970-2000, had established itself as one of the loudest -- and most aesthetically unwelcoming -- venues in the NFL. Four championship teams played there. A legion of towel-waving fans hovered directly above the action. The unmistakable nexus of concrete and craziness, Three Rivers was just like Arrowhead -- ear-splitting.
Playoff games at Three Rivers produced such electricity, players are goose-pimpled simply by their memory. "I mean, the building actually shook," Bettis said.
"Three Rivers was special," said Darren Perry, who played for the Steelers from 1992-98 and now serves as the defensive backs coach. "It had a little mystique to it, and for some reason, it got noisier there. You can see the difference at Heinz Field. A lot of the older guys will say the same thing; they'll come to Heinz Field and say it's not nearly as loud. You know, it's the stadium of the new millennium -- a little corporate. Three Rivers was so old and beat up, bricks were falling down ..."
Perry chuckled at the thought. "So yeah," he said. "It was definitely louder."
The Steelers still feed off an intensely loyal and loud fan base, but several factors have diminished the noise at their new stadium. The Steelers, Rooney admits, likely has a fan base older than the usual NFL team. Moreover, Heinz Field, with 127 luxury boxes and 6,600 club seats, has more amenities than Three Rivers. That's good if you want to create fan comfort, bad if you want to stimulate fan craziness.
This season, the Steelers went 8-0 at home and inspired some of the loudest crowds at Heinz Field. After several games, opposing team officials approached Rooney and commented that Heinz had become an extremely challenging place to play.
What prevents Heinz Field from equaling the decibel level of Three Rivers, perhaps, is purely architectural. With the south end of the stadium open to the downtown skyline, noise can escape.
"There's some question about whether you lose crowd noise by doing that," said Dennis Wellner, a founding partner of HOK Sport and the principal architect involved in the Heinz Field project. "But you've got other things in that stadium" -- Wellner referenced Heinz Field's spiral rampways and under-the-scoreboard plaza -- "that play to the atmosphere. There, the visiting team can look up at the city they're playing in and see very evidently that it's not their home. It's kind of subjective, but to me, that adds to the intimidation.
"Even though sound is one issue, it didn't fit at the top of the list. If it did, maybe we'd just go on building stadiums with seats all around like Three Rivers."
THE ADVANTAGE of everything the Steelers now have -- the swagger inherent with a 15-1 record, the AFC's No. 1 seed, a bye week for rest -- might be particularly pronounced this season.
"Well this is just a huge advantage for them," said Howie Long, a Fox football analyst and NFL Hall of Fame defensive lineman. As Long, in Pittsburgh last week, paced the sideline during a recent Steelers practice, he started talking teams and matchups and scenarios ... a giant what-if game. And suddenly, home-field advantage, no matter what it has meant in the past for the Steelers, seemed like a harbinger of good things.
"For the Steelers to be here rather than having to go to a place like, say, Indianapolis -- that's huge," Long continued. "First of all, Indianapolis is a brutal place to play, and that team is built for turf. So I think this is a tremendous edge. And you don't want to be traveling to New England. Remember, New England hasn't lost a home game in two years.
"So let's say New England ends up here [in the AFC championship]. New England already came up here earlier this year and got hammered. Philadelphia came in here and got hammered. That's pretty impressive. The Steelers have turned Heinz Field into an extremely tough place to win."
But the Steelers, too, are a team with a recent history of playoff failure, and that's where the facts and the myths run together. Why have the Steelers lost three AFC championships at home in the last decade? Bad luck? A statistical anomaly? Or is there a chance, even a remote one, that the reassurance of those home games allowed the Steelers a comfort level no football team should want?
The past Steelers playoff failures create an interesting collision of expectation against actuality. Given the choice, any NFL player or coach will opt for a home game, confident that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks. But veteran Steelers -- those who have been around for one or more of the AFC championship losses -- know the truth: If home playoff games produce an appreciable edge, they can also lead to a painful -- and yes, embarrassing -- tumble.
"We worked very hard to obtain this," Steelers coach Bill Cowher said, "so it's good to be playing this first game at home ... "And hopefully," he added with caution, "the next game at home as well."

A painting of toucans features on the facade of the Wohngenossenschaft Soldaritaet co-op apartment buildings in Berlin, Germany, on Tuesday as part of a 22,000 sq m mural. A group of artists working for French-based Citecreation painted the walls of the three buildings in imagery inspired by a nearby zoo and in co-operation with the buildings' residents. Citecreation has applied to the Guiness Book of World Records that the mural, which will be officially inaugurated on August 22, be considered as the largest in the world on an inhabited building
