Not sure if this is the right forum to open up the discussion about the sound quality of the Beatles 2009 remasters, but to me it made more sense to discuss it in the albums section, rather than in the individual songs section.
As a lifelong Beatles fan, I am very keen on hearing their songs in the highest possible fidelity. Despite the fact that their songs sound awesome even on the cheapest little transistor radio from the '60s, they do tend to sound progressively better when listened to on high end audio systems. I have throughout the years managed to assemble a fairly esoteric, high resolution audio system, and am indeed finding renewed pleasures in listening to the familiar Beatles catalog.
The only limiting factor for me now becomes the quality of the very source. I have the old scratched vinyl records, which, to be honest, don't sound that great, what with the pops and clicks and all that. The original 1987 remastering of the Beatles catalog had always sounded tinny and harsh to my ears. I have been buying the so-called 'needle drop' masters (Dr. Ebbet's etc.), where sound enthusiasts would get a pristine vinyl copy of the Bealtes LP and play it back and then convert it to a digital signal and then burn a CD. The results have been spotty, but in many cases sounded a bit better and fuller than the original '87 CDs.
Now finally we have an officially remastered Beatles catalog, which, to my ears, surpasses in sound quality both the original catalog on CD, and any of the LPs I have. The reasons for that are, in my view, twofold:
1. The new CDs have been produced from the original master tapes that have been carefully refurbished and cleaned up, revealing new layers of depth in sound.
2. The actual analog-to-digital conversion was performed using the state-of-the-art latest technological achievements, which resulted in much warmer, sweeter overall sound.
Where I personally hear the most improvement is in the vocals. The Fab Four voices now sound as if Paul, George, John and Ringo are literally present in front of me, as they're singing. It is now easy to hear every bit of enunciation that transpired while they were signing into the recording microphones. This experience alone is worth the price of the admission.
The next improvement that really jumps at the listener is how much more melodic Paul's bass now sounds. It is now much easier to follow his bass, as it bobs and bounces and swings from one song to the next. And these bass notes SING!
After that, I'm also hearing huge improvements in the way Ringo's drums sound. They now sound much more natural, with greater clarity that reveals subtler details, previously unheard on the familiar tracks. Ringo's kick drum now really drives the band, and it has nice melodic overtones that contribute to the overall warmth of the way the band sounds.
Moving on to the guitars -- they are now blistering! It is easy to hear, when listening to these remasters, why were the Beatles considered an epitome of a guitar band. Their sound is fully electrifying, because they knew how to utilize the sound of electric guitars to the fullest.
I'd be curious to hear other people's experiences with these new remasters. Which do you prefer, stereo or mono masters?

I ordered the mono box In August. The stereo, I bought as individual CDs the paycheck after they were released. You are correct, everything pops out right at you! Having to choose between the two if I had to pick would be the stereo. However, the mono is just as enjoyable as the stereo. In some songs, the instrumentaion, vocals, tempo are different between the two. Sometimes I'll be listening to the mono or the stereo and I'll hear or notice something different or unexpected. I'll go the the differing version, confirm what I noticed.
From what I've read, the mono mixes are where the most time was spent and is what the Beatles themselves were satisfied with. That's the main reason I bought the mono set, so I could listen as the boys intended.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

I tend to side with you in that I prefer most stereo versions. However, that may be simply because I'm still not used to the mono versions.
I've conducted (yet another:) experiment last night: played "Strawberry Fields Forever" (stereo first), then immediately after that skipped to the mono version. Now, the stereo version sounds amazing, it simply melts your heart. But the mono version... hmmm... I may be missing something, but it just does not deliver the way the stereo version does.
To confirm this impression, I've played the stereo version once again, and, by golly, yes! the music in stereo just opens up. Even the very intro, the sound of mellotron, it just sings. It pirouettes across the room, it's just lovely.
I don't know why, but overall I find the mono tracks sounding a bit muddy when compared to their stereo counterparts.In contrast, the opening mellotron in mono just sits there, barely moving, sounding a bit dull.
I should hasten to add that I'm only listening to these remasters on the speakers. I detest listening to music on headphones. Even the most expensive high-end headphones make music sound a bit cartoonish (to my ears); what's missing is the sound of the room you're listening in.
Maybe if I were to evaluate these stereo/mono versions using headphones, the mono version would win. But on the speakers, my impression is that stereo rules!

I have yet to get them, but by the sounds of your description, they're a buy that can't be missed! I've asked for them for Christmas, only thing is, I don't really know the differences between stereo + mono.
Could anyone help me out? With what I've read of your posts, I think I'll be going with stereo, but really, what's the contrast between the two? I guess I just don't know the difference between the terms- can someone help me out?

Back in the early 1960s, when the Beatles came to prominence, most people were listening to music on a home radio that contained only one speaker. People who played back records at that time mostly used record players (so-called turntables) that also contained only one speaker. The term 'mono' refers to the music that is played back using only one channel, through a single speaker.
It was around that same time that the new technology, called stereo, was gaining popularity. Stereo uses two channels (left channel and right channel), and the music is reproduced using two speakers. This is how most of us listens to music today, but 45 years ago that was still a novelty.
When the Beatles were releasing their songs, they would record their instruments and vocals and would then mix them all together, producing the final track. What that basically means is that even though they would record drums on one track, guitars on another track, bass on another, and vocals on another track, in the end they would combine all four tracks to produce one final, master track. That track was then used to create the mono recording.
The engineers at EMI (later renamed to Abbey Road) studios would also, after the Beatles have left the studio, produce a different version, by combining the four or more tracks into the final two tracks -- the left and right channels. That version was a stereo version, which was then offered for sale mainly to the audio enthusiasts who at that time had stereo equipment.
Because of that, you will be able to hear that there are differences in the mono and stereo mixes of the Beatles songs. The originally intended way how these song are supposed to sound was indeed mono. However, many of us have subsequently found that stereo mixes tend to contain more depth and clearer sounding instrumentation and vocals.
In the end, it all boils down to individual taste. I recommend you try to hear both versions before making a purchasing decision. If you like to listen to music that contains lot of details, I think you will find stereo mixes more to your liking.

It's horses for courses, really. There are the purists who say 'The mono mixes are the ones The Beatles personally worked on, whereas stereo was an afterthought,' and give short shrift to the stereo. It's true that sometimes the mixes are quite different, but whether they're better is often open to question.
However, I've found that I prefer the first few albums, in particular, in stereo. There are details that the stereo separation reveals that is harder to pick out in mono. Maybe it's because I've been listening to those albums in mono all my life, and to hear them in stereo is still something of a novelty.
I think for most Beatles fans the stereo box is absolutely all they need. The mono one is for when you need to pick out absolutely every detail in all the different versions available. Let's not forget, most people just enjoy listening to She Loves You, Hey Jude and the rest and singing along, rather than scrutinising every tiny detail in the background.
Me? I've got both boxes. Personally I love hearing the tiny little details, many of which I never spotted before. I probably prefer listening to the stereo mixes more, as I'm used to hearing music that way (the mono era was before I was born), and the mono ones - despite being what The Beatles intended in the 1960s - are more of a curio.
21 August 2009
Well, that helped loads- thanks to both of you for clarifying.
I'm one to rewind bits of their songs if I hear a particular little musical bit I like- so I think stereo's for me. I want it to sound like they're right there, performing it to me personally (hey, a girl can dream, right?)
On my iPod now, on particular songs, I take out one headphone to listen to "half" the song, like in Rain, I only get the harmonies in the background and the higher pitch "Rain-ain-ain-ain" of John's, which I find preferable, or in A Day In The Life, paying attention how John's voice grows more distant and quiet as the lyrics go on.
I'm almost sure that I'll be asking for the stereo box set this Christmas and eventually move onto the mono version when my wallet won't scream in protest, haha! Thank you again!

I also have both box sets and find it difficult to pick for the same reasons as mentioned above by others.
I have noticed that some of the stereo mixes (especially on Past Masters) are a bit annoying if listening with headphones. Take "I'm Down" as an example: the separated guitar solo sounds like George is playing it from a dustbin out in the street! And some of the vocals have far too much reverb.......thankfully this isn't so noticeable through speakers.
I read a review recently where a critic was complaining that the mono remasters of the easly CDs (Please Please Me,. With The Beatles etc) had no bass........what tosh! As soon as I Saw Her Standing There starts, Paul's bass is thumping out and it continues........
"If we feel our heads starting to swell.....we just look at Ringo!"

As I do have a recollection of hearing these albums originally on Long Playing 33rpm and being blown away by it, I have found various re-issues to be a little disappointing. For example, the CD collection (which I am now Album by Album, upgrading to the new digital masters),did have some area's of intrigue, but I remember being in a factory once where somebody had set up a stereo speaker in one area of the factory and the other in another part of the factory. What tended to happen when any track from the sixties was played, is that part of either the vocal or the instrumentation would disappear. Take 'California Dreaming' Mama' and Papa's for example, you would hear the picked guitar intro, but then the full frash chord which precedes the harmony would not be there... then, the vocal would start, 'All the leaves are brown...of course, now expecting the girls to mimic the same line, again yoy would hear nothing... and that was the problem with the CD's. I also remember listening to Datytripper on one of those old Walkmans, and being annoyed that the bass was playing in one ear and the vocal in the other.
In 1999, revelation. Yellow Submarine was released, and the sound quality was dripping with citric fruitfullness. 'Hey Bulldog' for example, just danced its way around the room rearranging the ornaments. so far, I have bought Please Please Me, With The Beatles and A Hard Days Night. I wanted to only buy each album one at a time, so as to spend some quality time with each one. Today I plan to get Beatles For Sale. So far, I am quite happy with the quality of each album. But, I still plan to buy the mono box set also. I just want to hear these tracks like they used to sound. Technology hasn't always been a good thing!

Since I last posted on this site, I have purchased both 'Beatles For Sale' and 'Help.' These are, of course, the re-mastered version's. and they both only go to underline just how good The Beatles are. 'Ticket To Ride,' has always been a favorite, but the one thing that I noticed on Help (Re-mastered) is that the whole album seems to have been a step forward in the use of percussion, more so than any previous album. There are little tam fizzes that may start as a quaver at the beginning of each eight bar segmant, and merely be the pre-cursor of the main off-beat. Listen to Ticket To Ride. During the first verse it sounds like Ringo is just hitting the rim (Rim shot) of the snare, and then you hear what sounds like a tambourine which at first seems slightly off beat. As the verse continues you cannot help but be drawn into this rythmn which by the time of the second verse now sounds like Ringo on the first beat of each bar is hitting the snare full on. There are numerous little tricks like that throughout the 'Help' album. There is also a snaking upright bass tone that seems to be meandering around 'I Need You.' Sometimes it sounds like it has no interest in the song it is accompanying, but every now and then it underscores a particular line. This again, seems to pop up on various other tracks. There are sounds on here that I haven't been aware of before. This is why The Beatles are as relevannt now as they have always been.
I've been meaning to start a thread about things I never noticed before getting the remasters, although this seems like a good place for it. This week I discovered that Paul's ad-libbing on Hey Jude starts well before the "Jude Judey Judey..." bit. I think it's a different vocal take (a guide vocal?) that was never used; possibly it leaked through headphones like the guitar solo in Can't Buy Me Love.
It's a funny thing, but I've found the most disappointing remaster to be Abbey Road. I've not noticed a great improvement in it; certainly I haven't discovered much new stuff by hearing it. Possibly that's because it sounded pretty good to begin with, unlike some of the other premasters.

I own the MFSL Original Master Recording of "Abbey Road" on vinyl. I agree, it can't get any better than that! (If anyone dissagrees, please let us know!)
I recently downloaded (I know, I'm bad) the Mono Masters set. Love it! "Revolution" sounds great, like a MINT copy of the original mono 45. "It's All Too Much" has quite a bit of music that is brought forward and was burried in the original stereo mix. John's voice in the beginning even has a little reverb! All of the voices seem to be brought out more. Now I know what Paul was saying after he listened to the remasters. "It's like John is right there next to me..."
Sunday's on the phone to Monday, Tuesday's on the phone to me.

I notice that neither Abbey Road or Let It Be are included in the Mono box set because they were recorded deliberately in stereo. I was just reading George Martin's Recording notes which are contained in the booklet with the re-mastered Help. Whereas the earlier albums were issued at a time when stereo records sold to a small number of hi-fi enthusiasts, mono mixing took priority over stereo. Also, with the track 'Help' The Beatles started using four track to four track recording techniques. To create extra tracks, they would record from one four track to another. It wouldn't be until 1968 that eight track recording became available that they would abandon this method. So they would record perhaps the rhythm section, the bass and the drum, mix it onto one track of the second four-track, and then add more instruments, overdubs etc, as their music arrangements became more complex. Amazing to think what they might have created had 24 track recording studios been available???
There is a theory that having fewer tracks available makes musicians think more creatively about what they're recording. It's can be tempting when recording to add literally dozens of instruments - some of the stuff I've done in the past has ended up sounding like a Phil Spector wall of sound production - "I'll add a sixteenth guitar track just to make it sound more powerful..." You end up with an overproduced mush. Even today, with limitless tracks available, some of the best songs are very straightforward.
The freeing up of tracks is known as bouncing down, or making reduction mixes. I think the only song on Sgt Pepper not to have use than four tracks was the Reprise of the title track. Listen to a song like Michelle, which is fairly straightforward without any massed overdubs or reductions, and you notice how economical their recordings were before 1966.

These are all excellent points. One thing I would suggest people do is switch from playing back the CDs using a CD player to playing them back using a digital streaming (DS) player. The difference in sound quality is stupendous, and it is well worth the investment.
For example, only after switching to streaming the Beatles remasters to my DS player was I able to detect many of the subtle differences, like the ones you've mentioned above. The tambourine on "Ticket To Ride" is a super interesting phenomenon to observe. It starts by banging each second beat slightly off-beat (it almost sounds kind of 'wrong', but in a very exciting sense). The listening experience is uncanny. Only later in the song does the tambouring pick up the 'right' (mathematically speaking) beat. But the freshness of such 'anomalies' is what makes their music so outstanding.
Now, the best way to clearly hear these little details is to abandon the CD player altogether. That technology is archaic, and the player, no matter how fancy and high-end it may be, is messing up with the timing of the song. This is because the player is responsible for physically spinning the CD, and as soon as you have this mechanical thing happening, the precise timing is lost.
But if you store that same song on your computer, and then stream it wirelessly to the DS player, you will notice a stunning improvement in the timing of the song. Suddenly, the song picks up the pace, and comes to life with reckless precision.
Try it, you will be blown away by the difference in sound.

I think the best bang for the buck right now would be Logitech's Duet Squeezebox, although if you are willing to wait until February, Logitech's Touch Squeezebox is even better. Some people like Sonos (a bit pricier), but not me, because Sonos cannot play back high-definition (or high-resolution) music. Moving upward from there, Logitech's Transporter is a good choice, although at $2,000.00 a pop, it is indeed very pricey. Then, you get into the esoteric territory, such as Linn Majik, or even Linn Akurate, which retail for $8,000.00 (yes, you read it right, eight thousand bucks!)
I've listened to them all, and can say that even with Logitech Duet Squeezebox, the sound quality is so much improved, that it will blow you away.
If you decide to go with a DS player, make sure you contact me, because it's very important, once you get it, to set it up correctly, as they do not come properly calibrated from the factory. And believe me, that set up is crucially important.
Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea
Thanks for all the info - I think $2k is out of my range (let alone $8k), but the Touch Squeezebox does look good. I use a Mac at home, though, so Airport Express might be another way to do it. I'd like to hook up a Mac Mini to my TV and have an a/v media server running all the time - it's just a cost thing really (and time, as I'd want to get it right).

Joe, I was intrigued by your comments on mixing. A couple of years ago, I created a number of my own original tracks using what was known as a MTV Music Generator 2, and a four track. I do have musical knowledge. I am perhaps a better acoustic guitar player than anything else. I wouldn't attemp to create a realistic beat using a real drum kit. However, the music generator 2, which has a vast series of musical riffs, sounds of many instruments (All of which I cannot play) did allow me to create very good quality tracks. As you say, the temptation within a 24 track studio not to use every track wasnt easy. I had a habit of creating a rhythm along one track and then copying it to two more just to give it a heavier feel. Like you, my masterpieces were becoming a little too heavy. (Phil Spector's name came to my mind also) However, there are about half a dozen tracks that I think were really good. One track in particular, I would honestly say, could live in the Music chart. Since I bought my PC, I have been looking at various ways of downloading these originals. (I am still considering my options). I think its a question of habit. The more music I used to create, the more I appreciated that sometimes less is more. The influence to even attempt to create music on this format was yet one more example of how The Beatles have inspired most the artistic things I do in my life.

Stephanie picked a wonderful little saying to go along with the "Main Squeeze" couple. She's stitching again, this time mixing it up a little bit with her curvy lines around the happy couple. I tell you, this isn't easy because unlike fabric there's no ripping out seams – in paper, once the holes are there they are staying! Lovely, lovely card.

WILDOMAR -- Dog owners in this city will be able to continue obtaining licenses for their pets through a local humane organization rather than from the county, officials said Thursday.
The announcement came after Riverside County Animal Services last week began requiring residents who live in unincorporated areas to get their dog licenses directly from the county either by mail or by visiting a shelter.
Though Wildomar became a city in 2008, the policy would have applied to its residents because it still contracts with the county for dog-catching and licensing. Wildomar has a separate contract with the nonprofit Animal Friends of the Valleys allowing captured dogs and cats to be accepted at the group's shelter in Lake Elsinore.
For years, Wildomar residents have been able to run over to the Lake Elsinore shelter to get county-issued dog licenses, and in more recent years could get pets licensed at Animal Friends' Wildomar office.
The county's policy change meant Wildomar residents who want to get licenses immediately rather than wait on transactions conducted by mail would have to drive about 20 miles to the nearest county animal shelter.
Under an agreement Wildomar's finance director, Gary Nordquist, was able to work out with Animal Friends and the county, Wildomar is now issuing its own dog licenses through the nonprofit organization, so residents can continue to rely on the local service.
"This will be so much more convenient for residents," said Animal Friends' board President Kris Anderson.
While awaiting an order of the new red, heart-shaped city licenses, Nordquist said Wildomar dog owners will receive temporary yellow licenses from the shelter at 29001 Bastron St. in Lake Elsinore and Animal Friends' office in the Wildomar Chamber of Commerce building at 33751 Mission Trail in Wildomar.
Meanwhile, the city still must decide how it wants animal services done in the future, a decision scheduled for the City Council's meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, in City Hall, 23873 Clinton Keith Road.
Nordquist said the choices before the council will be to hire either the county or Animal Friends for all services, or to keep the status quo, with the county handling the field work and the Lake Elsinore shelter housing the animals.

It's not exactly surprising, but Brian McCann turned down the Atlanta Braves' one-year qualifying offer worth $14.1 million on Monday, braves.com reports.
Reports continue to circulate predicting McCann will land a deal somewhere between $75-100 million, but they all agree that McCann will likely be secure in his new place of employment for five years.
The teams McCann is said to be leaning toward right now are the Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.
Should a non-Braves team sign McCann, that team will lose their first-round draft pick, and the Braves would receive a compensatory draft pick between the first and second rounds.

Game Reviews (Revision 744)
The following text comprises IGN's official Review Scale for Game Reviews.
At IGN, we're all about having fun, but when it comes to reviews we take things seriously. Reviewing games is the most important thing we do, because this is when we help you make a decision about how to spend your money. Our goal is twofold: Offer a critical view of how a game succeeds or fails at what it's trying to do, and to give you all the info needed to determine if a game is worth your time and hard-earned cash.
Of course, not everyone wants to read through a review and some prefer a summary. For that reason, we provide a Verdict section, break down the biggest pros and cons of the game, contextualize the game with other similar games (or recommend others that are better in the genre) and provide an overall score. While the Verdict and score won't provide you with as much detail, it offers a snapshot of our impressions.
The IGN Review Scale
For more than a decade, IGN reviewed games on a 100-point scale. While we switched to a 20-point scale briefly, we believe scores should be as expressive as possible. Elevating the dialogue about a game via focusing on the content of the written and video reviews doesn't have to come at the expense of an expressive score. Hence, we've resumed using the 100-point scale in hopes of providing as much precision as possible to you. This does two things: Allows us to score within the score, and to more easily rank games.
Scoring within the score is simple: we apply a whole integer score (a 3, a 5, a 7, a 9), then we indicate what kind of 7 or 9 that is. Is it barely a 7? It's likely in 7.1-7.3 territory. Is it a strong 7? It's likely 7.5-7.7. Is it among the strongest 7's, or among the best GOOD games out there (as defined by our written descriptions below)? Is it just short of being a great game? It's a 7.8 or 7.9. It's a SCORECEPTION!
The second reason is ranking. We all love to rank things, and the 20-point scale felt limited, and ultimately diluted our ability to rank games against each other. Obviously not all games are reviewed and scored against each other (i.e. you can't directly compare Madden to Call of Duty or Mass Effect). But we know that when it comes to both purchasing decisions and your overall consideration and conversation about the best games of a franchise, on a platform, or of a generation, sometimes you want to contextualize games and know how games generally stack up against each other.
Scores are just a baseline for our opinion, though. All reviews go through a stringent editing process for fairness, transparency and accuracy by the time they finally appear on IGN and stand as the IGN Review. That being said, there's also a by-line on every text you see, and we encourage you to follow our writers on Twitter, get to know them on their IGN pages, and try to get an understanding of where they're coming from based on their pros and cons and recommended games. Basically, we don't want review scores to end the discussion, but encourage more of them, and we want you to interact with our reviewers throughout the entirety of the process in a smart, professional, and passionate way.
10.0 - Masterpiece
Simply put: this is our highest recommendation. There's no such thing as a truly perfect game, but those that earn a Masterpiece label from IGN come as close as we could reasonably hope for. These are classics in the making that we hope and expect will influence game design for years to come, as other developers learn from their shining examples.
Examples: The Last of Us, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Grand Theft Auto IV
9.0-9.9 - Amazing
We enthusiastically recommend that you add these games to your to-play list. If we call a game Amazing, that means something about it seriously impressed us, whether it's an inspired new idea or an exceptional take on an old one. We expect to look back at it as one of the highlights of its time and genre.
Example: BioShock Infinite, The Walking Dead, Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World
8.0-8.9 - Great
These games leave us with something outstanding to remember them by, usually novel gameplay ideas for single-player or multiplayer, clever characters and writing, noteworthy graphics and sound, or some combination thereof. If we have major complaints, there are more than enough excellent qualities to cancel them out.
Example: Rock Band 3, State of Decay, NHL 13
7.0-7.9 - Good
Playing a Good game is time well spent. Could it be better? Absolutely. Maybe it lacks ambition, is too repetitive, has a few technical bumps in the road, or is too repetitive, but we came away from it happy nonetheless. We think you will, too.
Example: Resident Evil 6, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, God of War: Ascension
6.0-6.9 - Okay
These recommendations come with a boatload of "ifs." There's a good game in here somewhere, but in order to find it you'll have to know where to look, and perhaps turn a blind eye to some significant drawbacks.
Example: Tom Clancy's HAWX 2, Wonderbook: Book of Spells, Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
5.0-5.9 - Mediocre
This is the kind of bland, unremarkable game we've mostly forgotten about a day after we finish playing. A mediocre game isn't something you should spend your time or money on if you consider either to be precious, but they'll pass the time if you have nothing better to do.
Example: Dust 514, Time & Eternity, Game & Wario
4.0-4.9 - Bad
For one reason or another, these games made us wish we'd never played them. Even if there's a good idea or two in there somewhere, they're buried under so many bad ones and poor execution we simply can't recommend you waste your time on it.
Example: Aliens: Colonial Marines, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Dark
3.0-3.9 - Awful
You're welcome. We just saved you from making a terrible mistake by buying this collection of poorly executed, bad, or unoriginal ideas – or even playing it for free. While even a Bad game generally has some bright spots, an Awful one is consistently unenjoyable.
Example: Samurai Warriors 3, Let's Fish! Hooked On, Legends of Dawn
2.0-2.9 - Painful
Let's face it: anything worse than Bad is a trainwreck. Worse than Awful? That's kind of impressive. Not only are these games not fun, but they're outright infuriating or insulting.
Example: Quantum Theory, Fast & Furious: Showdown
1.0-1.9 - Unbearable
The silver lining of these dark clouds is that they're often so poorly made that they crap out after a certain point (if they ever worked at all), so we were spared from any permanent effects that playing a game this terrible might have on our brains.
Example: The Simpsons Wrestling, London Taxi Rush Hour, Elf Bowling 1 & 2
0-0.9 - Disaster
One of the worst games ever made. Games that score this low are rare, because it's reserved for those that simply don't work or are outright frauds – they've really got to work for it. This is also probably where we'd put a game about how awesome Nazis are.
Example: Extreme PaintBrawl
Review Scale Questions & Answers
How do you determine scores? As stated above, our goal is twofold: Offer a critical view of how a game succeeds or fails at what it's trying to do, and to give you all the info needed to determine if a game is worth your time and hard-earned cash. In that we offer playing and/or buying recommendations, and strive to rank its quality based on how well it succeeds at what it's trying to do. We look for games that are fun to play, but we're also keen to find games that push the boundaries and explore new territory.
Unfortunately, there's no science behind a score, no algorithm that can be run to "get it right." It evolves as a process from an editor playing through a game, talking with the senior staff about the experience, going through several edits and revisions to make sure the argument is air-tight and looking at how it stacks up against other games in the franchise, in similar genres, on the platform and more. In short, we do our best to get it "right", if there is such a thing.
How do you decide who gets to review what games? We strive to pair up games with the person who knows the brand, the genre, and the style of game, so as to offer the most expert opinions. We also aim to find writers who care. Everyone has certain types of games that interest them. Some folks love shooters and others like a good role-playing game. There are those who want to get lost exploring an open world for a hundred hours and others who want a shorter, more directed experience. Editors at IGN speak up about the games they want to play so we make sure people are playing games that interest them, and more specifically, games that editors know and understand. Getting the right person assigned to the job is always of the utmost importance to us, and we try to make sure our entire staff is well-rounded, but also that the title ends up in the hands of an editor who can speak to the genre and platform in an educated way that serves our audience.
And yes, sometimes people are eager to play games that turn out to be really bad. No one wants to review just the AAA titles. It gets boring after a while to write high praise for everything.
Sometimes one person gives a game a great review, but another editor says they didn't like the game -- who's right? The IGN review is the official statement on a game's quality. It is the opinion of the reviewer, but we entrust each editor to speak for the site as a whole. No review happens in a vacuum though. Thus each review goes through a rigorous back-and-forth editing process that pulls in multiple team members to make sure we're stating things clearly and as accurately as possible. That said, we would never want to silence the voice and opinion of our other editors. Though there is often a consensus in the IGN office over the quality of a game, there are always going to be dissenting voices. We think one of the things that makes IGN special is that we have an office packed with people who absolutely love playing and discussing games. We want editors to continue that discussion, even if the opinion isn't always in line with our official review.
In short, they're both "right", because each person is allowed to have their own opinion. But the IGN review is the site's official statement on the game.
I see ads on IGN's site for games you review. Do advertisers affect your review scores? Absolutely not. IGN has a very strict separation between sales and editorial. Editors are unaware of upcoming ads and promotions. It's as much a surprise to us when we see an ad on our site as it is to the readers.
Do you ever change your review scores if a game is improved after its release? Currently we do not alter game scores even if there is a patch that fixes issues. We review games as they are "out of the box" and as you would experience it for the first time.

Bramble Bank is a well-known hazard to shipping, and an unlikely venue for sport!
Despite being well documented and clearly marked on charts it has claimed some notable casualties over the years, including the Queen Elizabeth 2. But when low tides allow, it's also a venue for an unusual cricket match. Malcolm Shaw spoke to Mark Tomson of the Royal Southern Yacht Club.
Salvage operation underway to free grounded ship
A major operation is under way tonight to free a car transporter ship which ran aground in the Solent.
Twenty-five crew members had to be rescued from the Hoegh Osaka, which was heading out of Southampton water when it ran onto the Bramble Bank sandbank in The Solent yesterday evening.

Salvage team on its way to ship stranded off IoW
The car transporter ship the 'Hoegh Osaka' remains grounded on the Bramble Bank in the Solent after running aground last night.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has said there is no reported pollution from the vessel which is listing at an angle of 45 degrees. The MCA's Counter Pollution Team will continue to monitor the vessel, which is currently assessed as being stable.
The Hoegh Osaka's owners have appointed the salvage company Svitzer to deal with the incident. A salvage team is on its way to make an initial assessment.
The salvage plans will be developed by Svitzer and then reviewed by the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage & Intervention.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency says there is no impact on vessels travelling along the Solent because the vessel is not within a shipping channel.
Cricket match played on Solent sandbanks
The Bramble Bank match is an annual cricket challenge that takes place in the middle of the Solent. Representatives of sailing clubs at Cowes and Hamble take part in the event until the tide rises and declares the game finished. Sally Simmonds reports.
A rather wet cricket match at Bramble Bank
Representatives of sailing clubs at Cowes and Hamble have taken part in a cricket match mid-Solent. The Bramble Bank match is a challenging one, played on a sandbank - with the players negotiating the ebbs and flows of the water, getting very wet in the process.
No stranger to challenging circumstances - as the first person to sail single handed and non-stop around the world between 14th June 1968 and 22nd April 1969 - Sir Robin Knox-Johnston also put in an appearance.

Quote:I dunno man. I come from "a place" (in my mind I guess) that Aikido is "so much more than techniques, self-defense, MA, fighting art, etc". As I'm sure you know Jiu Jitsu is where a majority of our Aikido techniques come from, so it is difficult to answer the question: Are there Aikido techniques that are effective in ground work? I'm sure there are, assuming you can catch the opponents hand while he's pummeling your cranium. But other than that, I would say the answer is NO. However, there was a "junior sensei" at my dojo a couple of years ago that is now teachin UFC type classes at his place now; so, maybe there are. Good luck to you while on your path. -Belvy

St. James' Way – a European pilgrimage trail for the body and soul. Follow in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims on this historical route of approx. 170km from Nuremberg to Lake Constance.
Everyone should travel along the St. James' Way in their own way and at their own pace. The route leads from the Franconian hills, across the Nördlinger Ries depression and through the hills of the Swabian Alb to the city of Ulm with its minster, before continuing through the baroque Upper Swabian region and picturesque orchards to Lake Constance - known as the 'Swabian Sea'. If you embark on this route from Nuremberg to Constance, you'll come across more than 30 towns and villages with churches, abbeys and special places of historical and artistic interest. An incredible array of religious art treasures along the way reflects the cheerful piety of a region in which the local churches and inns still work in perfect harmony. When the St. James pilgrims arrive in Constance, they still have quite a way to go, having only completed around a sixth of the approx. 2,400km journey to Santiago. This route is best explored on foot, as simple pilgrims did back in the Middle Ages, or by bike. Starting a pilgrimage tour, you gradually leave behind the world you know, slowly getting used to carrying your rucksack and setting out on the next leg every day. This is also an opportunity for you to gain confidence in yourself and your ability to deal with the surprises that each new day brings. An ideal way to prepare yourself is to start off with a short tour through Upper Swabia and get a taste of what it's like to go on a pilgrimage.

The Brooklyn Catholic Diocese announced that it is likely to close five schools in Queens and merge another three at the end of this school year as funding and enrollment problems continue to plague the parochial education system.
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio Monday proposed that 11 schools in the Diocese — which covers both Brooklyn and Queens and represents more than 1.5 million Catholics — close at the end of the school year.
In Queens, DiMarzio recommended closing St. Benedict Joseph Labre in Richmond Hill, St. Anthony of Padua in Jamaica, St. Catherine of Sienna in Jamaica, Blessed Sacrament School in Corona and St. Aloysius School in Ridgewood in June.
The reconfiguration plan also envisions merging St. Michael School, St. Ann School and St. Mary's Nativity School in Flushing into one entity on a single campus at the site of St. Mary's at 146−28 Jasmine Ave.
DiMarzio said the persistent decline in enrollment rates and rising costs have forced the changes to the regional Catholic school system, which has seen nearly a third of its schools close or merge during the last five years.
"I am committed to ensuring that our Catholic schools are accessible geographically and financially to the people of our diocese," DiMarzio said. "When we determined that our schools are operating at only 85 percent of capacity, it became clear that we had to consider why this was happening and how we might reverse the trend."
The drop in enrollment has forced the Diocese to consider a new tax on its congregants that would generate an estimated $3 million for the school system to balance dropping revenues from student fees.
The Brooklyn Diocese also recommended that three more Queens schools — Our Lady of Grace in Howard Beach, St. Anastasia in Little Neck and Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Ridgewood — close and reopen as academies by the end of the 2008−09 school year.
If they do not, they will also be subject to closure by the diocese at the end of the year. The Diocese is expected to make its final decision by the end of February.
U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D−Forest Hills), who led a summit of parents, business leaders and church officials in 2005 to find a solution to the Catholic school system's woes, expressed his displeasure with the diocese's recommendations.
"The loss of parish schools is a body blow to our communities. The Diocese of Brooklyn faces substantial financial challenges in operating these schools, but simply shutting them down is lamentable to the families of Catholic school students," Weiner said. "Losing these schools is a crisis not only for the families of students, but for students in our already overcrowded public schools as well. We have to find a better solution than wholesale school closures."
Bishop Frank Caggiano, who conducted the study that led to the recommendations, said although the closures are not the most ideal solution, it is the best decision for the diocese moving forward.
"We are confident that as a result of this process our schools will have more resources to ensure that children have greater access to Catholic education," Caggiano said. "Our schools will be better able to meet the diverse and changing needs of students and parents and we will provide thriving Catholic schools that are better able to offer teachers and staff competitive compensation and benefits while remaining vibrant institutions for generations to come."
Representatives for several of the schools contacted by TimesLedger Newspapers deferred comment to the diocese's press office, which had nothing further to say.

Hundreds of Minnesotans join legislators, clergy in highlighting need for commonsense solution to statewide problem
ST. PAUL (February 27, 2013) — A new report released today by Minnesota-based community organizations highlights the devastating impact of the ongoing foreclosure crisis on all Minnesota families. It was officially released this afternoon in an event on the south steps of the State Captiol where hundreds of concerned Minnesotans joined state legislators and leaders of various faiths in discussing the crisis.
State Senator Patricia Torres Ray and State Representatives John Lesch and Mike Freiberg addressed the crowd, giving an update on the "Homeowners' Bill of Rights," comprehensive foreclosure legislation currently being considered in the Legislature.
"Minnesotans are still reeling from the effects of the Great Recession, which brought record rates of unemployment and foreclosures and blew holes in the state budgets nationwide," the report states. "While it was Wall Street's toxic lending practices and recklessness that created the economic crisis, it is Minnesota homeowners and taxpayers who are still paying the price."
The full PDF of the report is available here: http://action.mnfaireconomy.org/page/-/wallstreetwreckingballmn.pdf
The report's introduction continues, "The big banks that caused this crisis have not done enough to fix it. Instead, they exacerbated it with 'unsafe and unsound' mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices that led to countless unfair and unnecessary foreclosures."
"These multinational banks gambled recklessly with our loans in the global marketplace, ruined our entire economy, and then were bailed out of their own well-deserved bankruptcies with our tax money because they were 'too big to fail,'" said Rev. Jin S. Kim of the Church of All Nations. "Since we bailed them out, they need to be accountable to us the taxpayers and do the right thing."
"The crisis has devastated rural Minnesota," said Sarah Larson, a Waverly homeowner and small business owner. "In Waverly, 20 percent of the homes have been foreclosed on—destabilizing communities and uprooting families. We have all been impacted by the housing crash."
The report, released by ISAIAH, Jewish Community Action and Minnesotans for a Fair Economy is available here: http://action.mnfaireconomy.org/page/-/wallstreetwreckingballmn.pdf
Some of the data included in the report shows the impact of foreclosures by the numbers.
Foreclosures from 2008-2012: 141,239
Lost home value from 2008-2012: $20.7 billion
Cost to local governments in 2008-2012: $1.5 billion
Children affected by foreclosure: 94,000
Underwater homeowners in Minnesota: 100,000
The report release occurs on the third day of the Unlock Our Future Week of Action, being coordinated by the organizations listed above and several others. This morning, security officers who protect Minnesota's most celebrated corporations, including Target and U.S. Bank went on strike in downtown Minneapolis. Later today, a large rally and march is scheduled to take place in south Minneapolis, ending at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

Park Rapids places third at Mid-State tennis meet
Karly Dickinson and Allie Girtz earned runner-up honors at No. 2 doubles to lead the Park Rapids girls tennis team to a third-place finish at Saturday's Mid-State Conference tournament at the Depot Courts and Century School courts.
Dickinson and Girtz, the No. 1 seed, lost to Staples-Motley's Caitlyn Robinson and Ashley Lisson in the title match. The Panthers had four third-place finishes in tallying 25 points. Staples-Motley had five individual champions and captured the conference title with 40 points while Pequot Lakes finished second in this seven-team tournament with 36 points.
Julia Renner at No. 2 singles and the No. 1 doubles team of Mary Kading and Alyssa Carlson lived up to their No. 3 seeds while Lydia Schaum also finished third at No. 4 singles. Schaum entered the tournament as the No. 4 seed.
Lexi Burlingame and Katie Walsh were seeded No. 2 and ended up placing second at No. 3 doubles.
Christina Smith was the No. 4 seed and finished fourth at No. 1 singles while Emily Klingenberg was seeded No. 4 and ended up finishing sixth at No. 3 singles as the Panthers took third at the conference tournament for the second year in a row.
Team scores: Staples-Motley 40, Pequot Lakes 36, Park Rapids 25, Detroit Lakes 14, Perham 14, Crosby-Ironton 12, Wadena-Deer Creek 6.
Panthers defeat NYM
The Panthers had to rally after dropping the first sets at No. 4 singles and No. 3 doubles to seal a 5-2 win over New York Mills Thursday.
Klingenberg won in straight sets at No. 3 singles while Kading and Carlson at No. 1 doubles and Dickinson and Girtz at No. 2 doubles were victorious in straight sets.
Schaum rallied for a three-set win at No. 4 singles and Walsh and Burlingame rallied for a win at No. 3 doubles as the Panthers improved to 5-6 in dual meets.

What's Your Favorite Song To Work Out To?
As I'm sure you've noticed in the two "Fearlessly Fit" videos I've done so far, I'm not what you'd call a fitness buff. I get my yoga on (sometimes) and I'm definitely game to try new types of fitness activities — like hip-hop dance or anti-gravity yoga — but strenuous physical activity that involves, um, clothing has never really been my thing. However, when it does come to those activities that do get my heart racing, I need music to pump me up and push me to continue on past the point of wanting to throw in the towel and eat a cheeseburger. For example, when I decide I'm going for a run I need some seriously catchy pop music on my iPod to motivate me and help me keep my pace. The song that does it for me every time? Britney Spears' "Gimme More." What can I say? I don't want to disappoint the woman who giggles and says, "It's Britney, bitch."
So tell me — what songs get you pumped up and motivated while working out? I'll make a playlist of all your suggestions next week! [Photo: iStockphoto]

Hynaman: "Hey Peer, I was wondering if you were going to continue your Q and A this year? I enjoyed reading all the answers your provided to the different reader questions. Anyway I would love to read about the 10 games you are looking forward to most in 2013!"
I am! And here I go… I'm going to limit this list to titles that we actually know something about. Otherwise it'd be "Next Zelda Game," "Next Smash Bros. Game," "Next Mario Game," "Next Uncharted Game," "Next Red Dead Redemption," etc. Also, Fire Emblem was of course on this list, but dropped off because it's now out. And yes, some of these games will likely not come out in 2013.
Here are my most-wanted games:
1. The Last of Us
I remember saying "games aren't usually this good" when I first played through Uncharted 2. That game just fixed so many issues I had with exploration/action adventure games! From the non-interruptive, natural banter and story-development to the way action scenes built up slowly and packed genuine surprises and led to moments of awe, it was obvious that Naughty Dog would be the one to figure out how to perfectly combine action and story into something truly exciting. And while Uncharted 3 didn't quite capture that same excitement in my eyes, it reinforced that the company knew what it was doing. The Last of Us looks like everything I've ever wanted: an intelligent, story-driven game with realistic human characters dealing with survival in a post-apocalyptic setting. I'm a big fan of the novel "The Road" -- especially the way the relationship between the two main characters develops in a world of death and mistrust -- and The Last of Us looks like it could turn out to be a game that brings the depth and maturity of a Cormac McCarthy novel to a tried "zombie game" genre.
2. Tomb Raider
We picked this one as our game of E3 last year, so it shouldn't surprise you that it's high on my list as well. My favorite franchises of all time are Zelda and Metroid – and like Arkham Asylum and Arkham City before it, Tomb Raider takes a familiar character and applies that Zelda/Metroidvania formula to it. I was a bit surprised by the fan backlash on IGN when we announced it as our E3 favorite, particularly the arguments that it'll be an Uncharted rip-off (irony, eh? Considering how much Tomb Raider inspired Uncharted). While I'm not sure just how good the final game will turn out to be, I really, really like what I've seen so far. How can you not want to jump in and explore this world, like, right now:
3. Pikmin 3
A lot of the games on my list are "heavy," gritty, and primarily story-driven games. The Pikmin games just make me smile. There's just something magical about these virtual ant farm RTS games. I love the creative creature designs and the trepidation (and, afterwards, reward) you feel whenever you encounter a new species and try to figure out what makes it tick. Nintendo hasn't done a great job at making us feel what's different about Pikmin 3, but I have faith that this one will turn out well. Must. Protect. All. Purple. Pikmin.
4. Beyond: Two Souls
Two words: Quantic Dream. I really, really liked Heavy Rain. The control system was flawed and the uncanny valley factor reared its creepy head, but I was totally hooked from beginning to end. Quantic Dream consistently creates the character connection and story development that we all (well, most of us) loved about games like Walking Dead, and makes it all look and sound really pretty. It's one of the few companies that dares to put pauses and moments of repose in between action sequences. When panic hits you in one of Quantic's digital dreams, it hits you hard. Beyond!
5. Grand Theft Auto V
You notice a theme yet? I love games that tell stories. There inevitably comes this moment in a GTA (or Red Dead) game where I'm just overwhelmed by all the things I can do, or I get annoyed by a particularly annoying escort mission. But then I remember all the amazing moments, the sense of freedom, and above all, the deliberate pacing and great story-telling. GTA's digital actors are utterly convincing and it's tough to walk away not knowing where the Housers' stories of crime and corruption will take us. Just when I think I'm out, a new GTA game appears and PULLS ME BACK IN.
6. BioShock Infinite
I'm a huge Jules Verne fan – and have vocally complained about how much it sucks that his great sci-fi material only gets mined for lackluster family movie fare, let alone adapted into video games. But the BioShock games are probably as close as you can get to being in a Verne novel, with its steampunk technology that lets humans go places they probably shouldn't be – deep underwater, and now, high up in the clouds in a floating city. BioShock brings a personality all of its own to the mix: a society that appears innocent and whimsical on the surface, but is thoroughly corrupted to the core and eventually turns into a terrifying nightmare. They had me at "would you kindly."
7. Splinter Cell: Blacklist
I am one of the few people who loved spies vs. mercs multiplayer. It's okay if you didn't get it. It was totally unforgiving. If you had three friends who were into it, you'd all get good at it together, learned the levels, and experienced some of the best stealth vs. action multiplay gameplay ever. Well, Blacklist could be bringing all this back, perhaps even in a more intuitive package. Well, and the single-player and co-op modes don't look too shabby either. Ubisoft's been one of the most reliable companies when it comes to delivering quality experiences. Perhaps I'll be done with Far Cry 3 by the time SCB is out!
8. Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Yes, that's a remake in my Top 10 most-anticipated games list. I loved Wind Waker when it first came out and my appreciation has only grown over the years. Resolution/blur factor aside, the game just holds up so beautifully. A redo that upgrades the visuals and fixes some of the small problems (character targeting/activation issues, tedious Triforce shards quest at the end), one of the best action adventures of all time is given new life. Apart from the fact that I'd just love to play it again, I hope that others who have never tried the game will get a chance to experience it for the first time.
9. Watch Dogs
This one's probably the most mysterious game on my list. We really don't know all that much about Watch Dogs, but I know that I love the near-future setting, the style, the stalking/listening elements, and what promises to be story-driven, but intense gameplay. As mentioned, Ubisoft's studios know how to entertain. And it's easy to forget the many innovations and clever themes our friends in France have invented and/or popularized (and have since then been ripped off and become commonplace). Remember the climbing in Prince of Persia (remake)? Blending into crowds in AC? The retina-burning, animated worlds of Rayman? Sailing ships, voice controls, shooting lights, clearing rooms with flash-bangs, and so on? If Watch Dogs manages to innovate yet again, it could be the start of a beautiful new friendship for me.
10. SimCity
StarCraft aside, no other game ate away the hours in my college years quite like SimCity. Maxis created a hellishly addictive sandbox; initially difficult to get into, but even more difficult to stop getting into. I really cared for all the citizens of my growing metropolis, even when they declared me to be the worst mayor ever. The new SimCity promises to make everything a little more intuitive, getting you into the intricacies of city building much faster. And that tilt-shift visual style is simply too sweet to pass up. I may have to call in sick when this one comes out.
I could rattle off quite a few honorable mentions at this point, but know that I'm excited about the future of gaming -- on all platforms. As long as there's Zelda, and Mario, and Halo, and Metroid, and Uncharted, and Fallout, and Elder Scrolls, and Rayman, and… Whoops, I should stop.
If you've got some good questions for my next update, ask away! You know how to find me. And don't forget to share your personal most-wanted 10 in the comments.

text: So the yields are in the same ballpark, and both TIPS and pharmaceuticals have limited upside. What about the downside for health? This idea would make no sense if Pfizer and Merck ( MRK) plummet from here. But here is an anecdote that may point to a bottom. When I first wrote about my Pfizer revenue theory a year and a half ago on another Web site, I received an incredible amount of hate email. When I repeated the idea in a Columnist Conversation post last week, I only got one email that mildly disagreed. This leads me to think the selling could be about done. Three things might be enough to tie this theory together: similar yield, limited upside and limited downside. If the broad market provides below-average returns for the next few years, as some contend, and if my thoughts about pharmaceuticals hold water, it might result in the pharmaceutical-centric ETFs averaging 2%-3% returns plus the dividend. That's not much different from what TIPS are likely to do. But pharma ETFs offer something TIPS don't. Despite what anyone thinks about the fundamentals, the entire sector could rally significantly at any time for no reason at all. This has happened repeatedly throughout market history. Pharma-centric ETFs should participate to some degree in a broad market rally -- this can not be expected of TIPS. This idea makes some sense if you believe that, after being cut in half or worse, domestic pharma stocks have now seen most of the selling.

- Amazing Sinus Product!!! Review by Kylie
I had endless sinus infections on and off for over a year and they kept re occurring - the next step was a sinus operation. I had tried other sinus herbal products before. Then I tried this product and haven't had any sinus pain or sinus infections since. I haven't been on any other sinus medication and have been taking this product for a few months now.
I feel like a new person taking this sinus product - Amazing!!! Thank you!

- Mixed results Review by Rachael
I have suffered from terrible pollen and dust allergies for years and nothing from the chemist helps. I am on my 2nd bottle of the Sinus Nutrient. I have improvement in my breathing and there is definitely a reduction in feeling blocked up and snuffly (more so through the night and upon waking). But I am by no means 'cured'. I have started taking 2 tablets three times a day this week and if I have no dairy products this seems to be a good dosage for me at this time of year. Definitely worth trying for a season to get a good idea if it works.

Bought this for a friend who has had sinus/mucus troubles for years, resulting in a year-round 'sniff' and chronic snoring. She has tried many, many products through the GP, pharmacies and health shops but this is the only one that has ever really helped - and boy, has it helped!!! The sore throats have lessened remarkably and the 'sniff' has all but disappeared. Now she's asked me to order more. Thanks Vita-Fit - you're awesome!!!

- Fantastic product Review by Lynn
I have suffered with sinus and hay-fever for years. Anti-histamines are not working so good now. I started using Sinus Nutrient a week ago and cannot believe the difference. In only a few hours after taking Sinus Nutrient I noticed the difference. Have not taken any anti-histamine for 4 days now. Will keep using this product.

The P3P standards approved Tuesday represent the building blocks for software developers and Web sites to use.
Already, Microsoft Corp. has included a limited form of P3P in its latest browser, Internet Explorer 6. AT&T is distributing a free tool that can do more, but requires a download and installation.
The system is voluntary, and its usefulness will ultimately depend on how many sites embrace it.
According to the Internet Education Foundation, more than 40 percent of the top 100 Web sites already have or plan to apply P3P labels. But others remain unconvinced, waiting to see what their competitors do.
Regardless of whether a site uses P3P, the system won't prevent sites from collecting data or sharing the information with marketers, nor would it let users negotiate with sites on how information gets used.
Just like nutrition labels, P3P is all about disclosure, and users can either take it or leave it once they find out.
Some privacy advocates have actively campaigned against P3P, calling it "Pretty Poor Privacy." They complained P3P will do nothing to protect users' privacy and may make it more difficult to win passage of privacy-protection legislation.
Jason Catlett, president of the Junkbusters Corp. privacy organisation, worries that some Internet users may mistakenly assume the privacy label "represents an accepted and approved level of conduct."
"It's nothing of that sort," he said. "There are some things companies should not do with information without the explicit consent of the person concerned, and merely being upfront about it isn't enough."
The decision is the culmination of nearly five years of work at the World Wide Web Consortium, which had to battle a patent dispute, make the technology work and define the privacy terms well enough to reflect conflicting legal and privacy environments around the world.
The announcement was timed to the annual Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference, which started Tuesday in San Francisco.
