Apple's new Operating System, Mac OS X Lion, has roared into existence and ready to download if you're a member of Apple's developer programme. While there are still months to go before the official launch, we downloaded the preview build to see whether you should be getting excited.
Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, first announced the new Operating System in October giving a preview of things to come. Five months later Apple has released a developer preview build allowing developers to see what new features the new OS offers so they can take advantage of them in their own apps before the OS becomes officially launched to the public in the summer.
We loaded up the new operating system on a MacBook Pro (late 2009) to see how the new features work, whether you'll want them, and whether they'll make a difference to how you work and play.
It used to be the case that you would buy a new Operating System on a stack of floppy disks and spend umpteen hours in front of your computer swapping disks over. Windows 95 came on a dozen we recall. Then CD, then DVD, then with the Apple MacBook Air a USB stick as the optical drive had gone.
Chances are if you are upgrading to Lion in the summer you'll be buying your OS from the Mac App Store and downloading it to your computer before installing it. That's how the developer preview works and shows the likely move Apple will make when it comes to releasing Lion OS X.
Should that be welcomed? Yes. While the initial download did take some time (it's around 1.6GB) once downloaded we were ready to go - no swapping of disks, no losing of disks, just clicking on an icon and 25 minutes later (we have an SSD in our test machine) and you are watching the "Welcome" video that you get whenever you start up a new Mac for the first time.
User Interface
Nothing has changed, everything has changed. That might not make sense, but Mac OS X Lion is all about changing the way you interact with your desktop, with your apps and with the system, while at the same time making you wonder if anything has changed at all.
First reactions are good. There are plenty of tweaks with graphics as long as the app/software you are using supports them. Across the entire operating system you'll find that Lion is very much "iPad meets OS X" with lots of features coming from the tablet to the desktop, including the focus on using the touchpad.
Scroll bars automatically hide when not in use, selecting and grouping desktop icons gives you a number in a red circle so you know how many you've grabbed.
Everything now also has a rubber band feel to it like iOS (pull down to the bottom of a page and it will spring back up). The highlighted dock icons by default have disappeared (you can turn them back on) to represent a one app at a time mentality, while the aqua blue menu drop down colour has been lost for a squarer, simpler design.
Also in are sliding switches to access different panes within settings. They are everywhere, even if at first you don't notice them. This is an operating system that is all about touch as Apple continues its education on why your fingers are important to you.
Worried perhaps that there is too much of a change and a new reliance on touch, Apple has, for the time being, retained a number of ways to control your computer not forcing you to "do or die". It's a welcomed approach.
If the interface is all about sliding switches from a graphical point of view, from an interaction it point of view its all about gestures. Apple has gone to town here adding loads of new gestures. The biggest initial change and the one that will confuse the hell out of you is "When using gestures to scroll or navigate, move content in the direction of finger movement".
It makes your scroll pad react in the same way as your iPhone or iPad. Move your fingers down the trackpad and the document or web page or whatever you are working on will scroll upwards because that's the way you are moving the page. While that makes perfect sense on a touchscreen device, it is the complete opposite to how you are used to working on a computer. Five days in and we are still struggling to get our heads around it, although wouldn't have it any other way on the iPad. It changes from a "touchpad replicates cursors" to "touchpad replicates touchscreen" type of interaction.
Back to the every day gestures and there are one, two, three, and four fingers movements and we aren't just talking swipes left, right, up and down. You can have scroll with inertia, rotate, pinch, secondary click, swipe to navigate, swipe to open Mission Control, swipe to switch Spaces, pinch to launch LaunchPad, Spread to see the Desktop, the list goes on. The end result? You end up with an iPad with a keyboard effectively as you swipe your way around the system.
How does all this work with a mouse? Well it doesn't really - this is a trackpad experience through and through. You can use it with the Magic Mouse of course (but it's uncomfortable). We tested the system using the Apple TrackPad and the bigger space on the dedicated device certainly helped. We suspect Apple will push buying one very hard come summer time when Lion is on sale.
The old smiley face is still here and still acting as the hub of your computer, although for how much longer we aren't so sure - personally we aren't expecting it survive beyond Lion's successor. But before we pen its eulogy, it too has had an overhaul getting a newish look and new icons down the left-hand side.
There are two main additions: All My Files and AirDrop. All My Files is as it sounds, a way of seeing all the files on your computer in a stack of scrolling icons as if you were buying an album from iTunes.
You have a number of options of how you view the information here either by the standard format which is: Documents, Images, PDF documents, Music, Videos, and Presentations, or by application, by Size (handy for tracking down big files), Date last opened (Today, Yesterday, previous 7 days, etc), or other relevant options that we are sure will be useful. In all cases we found the files displayed in reverse chronological order.
AirDrop is also new and is a way of sharing files with other people locally. Unable to meet up with other people who also installed Lion, we've yet to try this ourselves, but have been privy to a demo by Apple product managers at a briefing. The idea is that both of you log into AirDrop so you can then share files over an ad-hoc wireless peer-to-peer network that you've created. You don't need a wireless network for it to work but you will need to be local. It will be handy when your colleague wants a document or picture off your machine and you don't have an internet connection just to email it use a Dropbox type service.
Security and Privacy
Security is taken more seriously in Mac OS X Lion too. Disk Encryption has been overhauled (it encrypts the whole disk not just the home directory) and you now have privacy settings that work in a similar way to the iPad.
You can now enable or disable location based services on specific apps and control it all from a single pane within the System Preferences area.
There is also an Internet Accounts section, again similar to iOS, that allows you to manage all your Mail, iCal, Address Book, iChat and other accounts from a single pane. It makes it much much easier to manage and makes setting-up your system to work with your existing email account a doddle. It doesn't currently work with Microsoft's Outlook or Entourage apps however, only core Apple apps.
Backing Up with Time Machine and Versions
Time Machine is still here, but it has been enhanced with new tweaks. You can now "Create local snapshots" as well as set to turn off back-ups when you are on battery allowing you to save power. The local snapshots mean that theoretically you could back-up your files to a partition on your internal hard drive, but we are still struggling to see why you would need this.
Versions plans to take this one step further and records the evolution of a document as you create it. It works in an interface similar to that of Time Machine, allowing you to scroll back through your work as long as it has saved it. If you find that the documents you create take less than an hour then this feature might not be so helpful. There is no word as yet as to whether you'll be able to change the frequency at which it saves.
In the preview build there is currently a 1 hour fixed version save which can't be changed. This is great for when you are working on long projects but if you are typing for an hour then you'll stand to lose a lot of work if you're relying on this to get you out of trouble.
If you wanted your Mac to look like an iPad or iPhone then this new feature will be right up your street. Click the new icon on the dock and LaunchPad will fire up giving you a grid of apps as if you were on iOS.
Organising the apps is as laborious as it is in iOS and for us the experience meant 15 pages of apps randomly scattered around. Apps can be arranged and put into folders, or left on pages and pages. With no auto sorting capabilities it's a bit of a mish-mash at the moment.
We would like the ability to sort by type, alphabetically or even some attempt at organisation. If you are trying to think ahead, no you can't just organise your applications folder and the results appear in LaunchPad, although it would make it a lot easier.
Once you have got things organised we can see that it is going to be a quick way to access the app you are looking for, especially when you grasp all the gestures available to you.
Mission Control
A cluttered desktop full of windows, Dashboard, full screen apps, LaunchPad. It's understandable that you'll get lost quickly in the new operating system from Apple. An attempt to manage the transition and multiple ways of getting to different parts of the system is Mission Control.
It's ultimately a suped-up Expose allowing you to access different parts of the OS quickly. Now your app windows are clustered together so you can see multiple document windows together for example. Above that is a list of what Apps are open full screen, plus Dashboard and Desktop. Find what you want, click on it and it brings it to the front of the screen so you can work on it. You'll know it from Snow Leopard already and it works very well here in Lion too.
Shut down your Mac and you've got to then re-setup your desktop as you like it every time, opening apps and documents. It can, say Apple, force you into putting off that mission critical update because you've got lots of apps and documents open and running. Not any more thanks to Resume, which will make sure everything is as you left it. Have we found ourselves turning our Mac off any more since this feature has been available? No, but over time we can see ourselves doing so.
One of the big focuses for Mac OS X Lion is the ability to run apps full screen just like you do on the iPad. The idea of the developer preview is to give developers the ability examine and experiment, then implement the same features as Apple has with its core apps.
So we get Mail, Safari, iCal, and Address Book to try out. Running apps full screen is an interesting experience and one that works at times and not at others. It's also something that you can kind of do on Snow Leopard already if you want to hide the Dock and maximise apps windows completely: using Spaces recreates the experience more closely allowing you to swing from one to the other quickly. Modern computing is all about multitasking, having a chat with a friend while you surf the web, or checking your emails while you find a date in your calendar. Here however the idea here is that you focus on one task at a time and then slide between the two - it makes sense on smaller screens, but not necessarily on a large iMac display.
It works when you want to read an article on a web page (like this one) in Safari and take your time to enjoy it, but it doesn't work when you're trying to do many things concurrently. It's almost as if Apple are saying "whoa, slow down!" Whether you're the kind of person that can or can't slow down will really determine whether you like the idea of going full screen or not. That said with a flick of a couple of fingers you can be back to the desktop.
Actually using the apps within Lion is more like using them on the iPad. Mail has taken the iPad's landscape interface (we wouldn't be surprised if we saw the changes here going to the iPad as well), and using Safari full screen is also virtually identical to the iPad experience. Can we see ourselves using iCal full screen on a big display? Probably not.
And for those interested, using full screen apps when you've got two displays running leaves the other one just greyed out - it's dead space. We'd love to be able to go full screen on one display and have smaller apps running on another, but currently that's not an option.
Other bits and bobs
We've detailed most of the new features, but there are plenty more that we've not yet found, or have yet to be added in future builds before the official launch.
They include Podcast Producer for producing and hosting your own podcasts, SSD TRIM support that will mean your SSD drive will work better with the new OS than it has with previous versions, improved About this Mac changes that gives you a more iTunes style overview of your computer, Find my Mac that, when enabled, is likely to help you find your computer should you lose it or it gets stolen, Signature Capture that lets you use the camera to get a picture of your John Hancock.
What's missing
Remember this is a preview build and that means stuff will change. So far a couple of things have gone, but to be honest none you'll probably notice. Support for Power PC apps appears to have been ditched, as has Front Row.
So what should you make of Mac OS X Lion? Well the simple way of looking at it is that the Mac operating system has been iPad-ified. When Apple first announced that the new OS was coming they talked about how it would bridge the gap between the iPad and the Desktop and they weren't kidding.
The biggest usability change will come in the adoption of the gestures, and the sliding switches rather than the creation of LaunchPad. What is certain though is that Apple have continued to evolve the OS embracing the way most of us interact with mobile devices and tried to replicate it here on the desktop.
We very much believe that this operating will be seen by future generations as the "Empire Strikes Back" rather than the "Return of the Jedi" when it comes to telling the story of Apple's journey through the land of the OS. Apple believe that the future is about touch rather than the traditional way of computing, and everything we see here reaffirms that.

Goa building collapse toll rise to 16, probe begins (Roundup)
Panaji, Jan 5 (IANS) The toll in the building collapse in Goa rose to 16 Sunday, as the state government started a probe into why the accident took place, officials said.
At least 11 people were hospitalised and around 20 were feared still buried under the debris as rescue work continued on a day when politics overshadowed the gloom caused by what was termed the biggest building collapse in the state.
A five-storeyed under-construction building collapsed Saturday afternoon in the coastal town of Canacona, 80 km from here, trapping the on-site labourers.
A day after the accident, rescue officials said the chances of survival of those still trapped appeared bleak.
Bodies of 14 people were retrieved from the rubble Saturday, and two more bodies were found Sunday, according to officials.
The Pune-based National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team, which arrived Sunday, was also lending a helping hand in the rescue operation.
An official supervising the rescue efforts told reporters that it was not possible to know how many people were still trapped under the debris, because the building contractor and site engineer who maintained attendance records were missing.
"We do not know how many (people) exactly. But there was shouting and screaming from inside yesterday (Saturday) which suggested that there are around 20 people still inside. The number is unconfirmed," said Acting South Goa Collector Venancio Furtado.
The sounds came from a large cavity within the rubble, which was caused after a slab fell horizontally on some girders, creating a space within, he said.
But reaching out to the workers was tricky as the concrete slab threatened to cave in the moment the rescue team made efforts to reach out to the victims, he said.
"They (rescue team) are using gas cutters and other machines, but reaching to those trapped inside is not easy," said Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who was personally monitoring the rescue efforts.
Parrikar said official compensation for the deceased and injured people would be announced Monday.
He also said the incident has raised fears that the quality of construction was being compromised by the builders.
"We are coming up with guidelines for construction of buildings within the next two days. All buildings will have to adhere to them from now on," Parrikar said.
Fear has now gripped the few occupants of a building adjoining the Ruby Residency complex – the accident site – as the impact caused by the collapse led to cracks in it.
Officials said the state government's town and country planning department, which examines and authorises construction plans, had located the relevant plans and was examining the circumstances in which the permissions were granted.
"It appears that the construction had encroached into a neighbouring soft soil paddy field. Prima facie that could have caused one of the columns to collapse. But we have also asked for testing of the material to see if sub-standard quality construction material was used," an official said, not ruling out other real estate projects promoted by the accused firm Bharat Developers and Realtors.
Efforts by IANS to contact the real estate development company failed as the phone number listed on its official website was switched off.
The contractor as well as the company's directors were untraceable, police said.
Meanwhile, Sports Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Ramesh Tawadkar blamed the erstwhile Congress government for granting permission to the project.
"The Congress is to blame. They granted all permissions for the project. We were elected to power only in 2012," Tawadkar told IANS.
The Congress, meanwhile, questioned how Tawadkar, a former school teacher, managed to own a flat in an adjacent building in the same Ruby Residency project.

You wake up in the morning and use the bathroom and your toilet performs a quick health check-up and emails the results to your doctor.
Meanwhile, the coffee maker, which has already brewed a morning pot, is talking to the security system so it knows to shut off after you've left.
While you're gone, your heating system monitors the house temperature and lighting.
If the sun is heating up the living room unexpectedly, the blinds know to close themselves to save energy.
When you fall asleep watching late-night talk shows, your couch takes notice and shuts off the lights and TV set.
No, it's not the year 2030. Digital home technology is already here, although it's taking a while to reach the average household.
In Japan, Toto Ltd. has been manufacturing the Intelligent Toilet since 2005. The original version of its digital lavatory measured blood sugar, blood pressure and obesity, indicators related to diseases such as diabetes, says distributor Daiwa House In-dustry Co. The techno-toilet sends its data to a home computer, allowing users to track and graph personal health trends.
"It's programmed to send (information) to each family member's personal computer about each family member's condition. So, if the father's weight is gaining, all the family members know and will judge each other's health," says Kazushige Morimoto, sales manager at Daiwa House California.
The sophomore edition of the Intelligent Toilet also analyzes urine, measuring hormone levels that can help women track their menstrual cycles.
Daiwa House says 10,000 Intelligent Toilets have been sold in Japan since the product launched, but sales are on hold as the next version is in development.
A complete digitization of the home could involve the infusion of touch-screen technology, whereby doorknobs, furniture and appliances are programmed to react to different kinds of pressure.
In May, Disney researchers unveiled Touche, which measures different types of touches such as one finger, two fingers or a palm or grasp.
Lead scientist Ivan Poupyrev says Touche is "very simple technology" that can easily alter real-world objects to measure anything from a simple touch to gestures.
"For example, you can have a doorknob and when the postman comes over to leave a FedEx, he can touch with three fingers to leave a message. Or, if he makes a mistake, he can press with one finger and that would simply remove the message and he can record again," Poupyrev says.
The technology could be integrated into a sofa or blanket using conductive textiles, he says.
"The sofa suddenly can recognize whether you are sitting, whether you are lying down or standing next to it" and then you can connect it to anything in the house from the TV and lights to sound.
Technology that allows homeowners to remotely control lights, heating systems and security is already on the market in Canada.
The Smart Home system by Rogers Communications Inc. allows homeowners to synchronize lighting systems, water and carbon monoxide sensors and alarms to their smartphones to get instant alerts.
"Because all of those things are connected, I now am aware of what's happening in my house. But the kind of the next wave of these things is going to be the automation piece," says Robert Switzman, spokesman for Rogers Communications Connected Life.
He says the next step is getting your home's systems to talk to each other. "When those things are aware of each other's status - things automatically happen."
The technology is increasingly being updated to allow for more device connectivity, Switzman says and the possibilities for event-based programming seem endless; things like getting the blinds to close when a room heats up or turning off the coffee pot when the home security system is armed because you're out for the day.
Seventeen-year-old JeanMichel Laliberté, of Boucherville, Que., was recognized at an international science fair recently for his home automation system, which can be easily configured without a technician, he says.
"You can install it by yourself. You can plug it in the outlet and, after using the software that I made, program it and it takes like 10 minutes to program your system," he says.
His hardware controller system and accompanying software allows users to control their home appliances via the Internet.
"You can control it using a remote control and you can add automatic action like motion sensors, temperature sensors, light sensors and sound sensors about anywhere in your house and make them interact with your house configuration and your appliances," he says.
The high-school student is currently in talks with a local company about commercializing his project.
Automation will increasingly allow appliances in the home to talk to each other. For example, blinds will close when the thermostat reaches a certain temperature.
Doorknobs with touch screen technology will be able to sense different touches. A mail carrier could record a message for the homeowner by using a two-finger touch.
The Japanese Intelligent Toilet conducts a health check-up of users, monitoring blood pressure and body temperature, and can also do a drug test. The digital loo then uploads results to your computer.
A couch with touch screen technology can sense when a user has fallen asleep and automatically shut off the TV or dim the lights.

AG says no voter fraud committed in Clark caseStaff Report
August 25. 2013 9:40PM
Four campaign workers who voted in New Hampshire and who listed the address of state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark as their residence did not commit voter fraud, according to the state Attorney General's Office.
"As the allegations of voter fraud are not supported, we are closing our file without further action," a letter from Assistant Attorney General Stephen G. LaBonte states.
"While working and living in New Hampshire, these individuals established a physical presence at 152 Middle Street in Portsmouth, which continued for several months," he wrote. "There is no evidence to conclude they falsely claimed New Hampshire as their domicile at the time they registered to vote."
In July, state Republican Party officials asked Attorney General Joseph Foster to investigate what they considered voter fraud related to the campaign workers who temporarily resided at the home of Martha Fuller Clark, a Democrat.
Votes were cast in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
LaBonte said the four workers recently notified the Portsmouth City Clerk's Office that they would like their names removed from the voter checklist.
LaBonte also said "there was no discussion regarding registering to vote in New Hampshire between Senator Fuller Clark and any of the campaign volunteers who lived in her house."
"From the very beginning this was a petty witch-hunt and a waste of taxpayer money," Harrell Kirstein, communications director for the New Hampshire Democratic Party, said Sunday night.
"People on both sides of the aisle who have moved here and worked here and are domiciled here have voted here for years and years and years, and that's why this has never been an issue before," he said.

LONDON (AP) — A British businessman jailed in the U.S. for trying to sell missile parts to Iran has been returned to serve his sentence in a UK prison.
Lawyer Karen Todner told the BBC on Monday that Christopher Tappin is now in a British prison.
Tappin pleaded guilty in a U.S. court in November to trying to buy missile parts from undercover U.S. agents for possible sale to Iran. He had initially denied the charges.
He received a sentence of nearly three years with the understanding that part of it could be served in Britain with the approval of British and U.S. authorities so that he could be nearer to his ailing wife.

Here's a look of photos from Sunday's games which included Tom Brady tossing three touchdowns as the New England Patriots tied their single-game scoring record with a 59-24 rout of the Indianapolis Colts. Also, the New Orleans Saints got back to .500 with a 38-17 win over the Oakland Raiders and the Broncos defeated the Chargers 30-23.
In earlier action, Mark Sanchez helped the New York Jets end a three-game losing streak with a 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams.

If you want to strike terror into the heart of a developing birder, shout "Peeps!"
I don't mean the marshmallow kind, but the tiny shorebirds that worry mudflats in flocks of a dozen to a hundred or more during migration. There are many different species that must be considered when attempting to identify them, and all look so similar they might as well be the same.
Shorebirds, in general, are dressed in grays, browns, blacks and whites, nothing flashy. There are few reds and no blues or greens on their palette. Yes, the black-necked stilt and American avocet are both elegant and distinctive as they parade about the shallow ponds of the Klamath Basin, but these are the exceptions.
On top of their dull colors, it is usually impossible to tell male from female. There are slight differences in bill size and shape in some species, but little more.
Dull-colored birds are not unusual. Sparrows and small flycatchers are also on this rather long list. It's the safe thing to do to avoid becoming someone's lunch. It's also not unusual for males and females to be similar. This is especially true for monogamous birds such as robins and sparrows.
However, if we consider all the shorebirds that pass through Oregon or breed here, there are a few notable exceptions to the pattern of plain and uniform appearance. These are the phalaropes, and they are different.
There are only three species around the world, and all occur in Oregon.
The red and red-necked phalaropes migrate along the Oregon Coast and breed in the Arctic. The Wilson's phalarope breeds on lakes in western North America.
They are unquestionably related to other shorebirds, but unlike their kin that scurry on the mudflats and beaches, these are more content swimming than wading. Their toes have flaps of skin on the sides of their toes, much like webbing, which helps them swim.
Two of the three species spend nine months of the year far out to sea feeding on minute crustaceans and other plankton. They often feed by spinning in tight circles. This creates a little whirlpool that draws up food from lower in the water. The Wilson's phalarope winters on the lakes high in the Andes of South America doing much the same.
Unlike most other shorebirds, male and female phalaropes wear different plumage in the breeding season. And even more unusual, it's not the male that wears the bright colors. Females are strikingly patterned, including rich reds and chestnuts while the male wears the somber colors.
And it doesn't end there. It's the female that courts the male. And once the clutch is laid, it is the male that settles down to incubate the eggs. At this point many females take off to court another male. The young never see the mother.
Why do phalaropes differ from other shorebirds in so many ways? I am unable to offer a convincing answer. I invite you to check phalaropes out for yourself and see what you think. Wilson's phalaropes breed in the Klamath Basin and can be seen easily along Stateline Road at White Lake near Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge.

Gardens play an important role in lessening pressure on the environment. Depending on the steps and approach you take, your garden can make a positive impact on the slowing down of climate change, cutting energy use and reducing waste. Below are some ideas which can assist in making your garden eco-friendly.
Consider companion planting
The most beautiful and healthy gardens are those with a diverse mix of plants. Furthermore, certain combinations of plants are said to complement each other to boost growth and vitality. Marigolds, for example, are said to help deter unwanted flying and soil insects from plants. Tall plants can also naturally provide shade for more sun-sensitive and shorter plants.
Set up a compost bin
Compost is the most important supplement you can have in your garden's soil. Not only is the process of composting an easy way to give your garden the nutrients it needs to grow, it's also a more satisfying solution for both your wallet and the environment. By adding compost to your garden, you're essentially introducing new and beneficial micro-organisms that will help aerate the soil, break down material to encourage further plant growth, prevent plant diseases from spreading, retain moisture in the soil, and it serves as a natural alternative to chemical fertilizers.
Re-use and recycle
A large part of reducing waste is to reuse what you already have, such as fencing, vegetable peelings, plant clippings, and even a water bucket to decrease the amount of fresh water you use when looking after the garden. Plastic bottles and wooden containers can all be reused in a variety of ways around the garden. Plastic bottles, for example, can be used as seedling protectors by cutting off the base and placing them over the seedling patch.
Pest control products
Use the right products at the right amounts and at the proper time of the year. When using such products, follow label instructions carefully, understand the products you are using and make sure they will be effective for the task at hand.
Use reclaimed water
Using recycled water or treated sewage water for irrigation of landscapes is a great water conserving practice as it greatly reduces the need to use portable water or well water for irrigation.
Your garden landscape is bound to change with time. If you have a problem with part of your landscape that requires extraordinary inputs of water, pest control or labour week after week, it is advisable to make drastic changes.
The ideas listed above should assist you achieve an eco-friendly garden.

Not expected until October, the iPhone and iPod touch version of FIFA 11 has arrived on iTunes a day before its console big brother hits the stores, presumably to capitalise on the buzz by offering fans something to play before their Xbox 360 and PS3 pre-orders arrive.
And it's already entered the top ten paid app charts, so Electronic Arts is clearly no fool.
But, considering its rush release, does that mean that it's not up to scratch, and that the software company is hoping to shift units before everybody gets wise?
No, is the short answer. It's brilliant.....
- Format
- iPhone, iPod touch
- Price
- £2.99
- Where
- iTunes
Having played the Xbox 360 version of FIFA 11 for 2 whole days - morning, noon and night - in order to review it in considerable depth (review now live on Pocket-lint), we thought it would be hard to see the stripped-down iPhone version as anything but an under-featured distant cousin. But we were wrong.
It may not have all the grandstand features that the new console iteration of the game now sports, nor will it ever look quite as good on a 3.5-inch display, but FIFA 11 is a mighty game in its own right - a wonder of modern programming that crams so much into its diminutive stature that you'll be scratching your head as to why EA kept the price down to a measly £2.99.
Take that price for starters. Bar some touchscreen tweaks and shenanigans, the Apple device version is as good, if not better, than the PSOne or, even, PS2 FIFAs that came out a few years back. Yet, while they cost roughly £30, this is ten times cheaper.
It has also been optimised for the Retina Displays of the iPhone 4 and iPod touch (latest generation), so is better defined, more colourful and crisp than either of those SD consoles were capable of.
This is most apparent in the wide shots during replays and breaks in play. You can actually see the tiny players on the pitch.
Admittedly, the close-ups aren't really anything to shout about. Certainly, as the console versions feature more and more realism in player models as iterations progress, the players rarely look anything like their real-life counterparts in this instance. You only need look at the picture of Fernando Torres at the top of this review to see that (and who exactly is he standing with? Could be Daniel Agger. Could be Kevin Spacey).
That said, the kits are fully and accurately rendered, and considering that there are over 500 teams from a large number of world leagues on offer, and you realise the scale of the game. Additionally, there are 50 representations of real stadiums in the game, and they look superb, even if there's just a fuzz where the crowd should be. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself to realise that this is a game running on a mobile phone.
Naturally, another sacrifice from the grown-up versions of FIFA 11, is the number of game modes on offer. However, you can play entire league or cup seasons with your chosen team. There's no transfer market, like with the console equivalents, but come on? This should provide plenty of action for the casual gamer.
If you can get to grips with the control system, that is. We've got to be honest and say that virtual D-pads on the iPhone or iPod are fiddly at best, and if you've got big thumbs you may find it hard to get the direction or button you want at that moment. Plus, they may crowd out the action so that you can't quite see what's happening underneath.
To help, EA has introduced a new "floating D-pad" which only appears when you place your left (or right, depending on dexterity) thumb on the screen. It will also appear exactly where you want, so you needn't miss the control entirely in the heat of the action.
Also, alongside buttons for pass, shoot, etc, you can tap any player on the screen, and the ball will be hit towards them. Plus, you can create runs for players off the ball by swiping them in the direction you want them to go. This is all expert stuff, admittedly, and extremely hard to pull off for a while, but at least it rewards those who want to put in the effort.
Ultimately, though, what makes FIFA 11 on iPhone and iPod touch so appealing is it provides an excellent game of football. Yes, it doesn't have the jostling, passing or personality features of the latest console version, nor is it as in-depth, but it plays very very well indeed. And that's more than enough for a train or bus journey, surely.
And did we mention that it's only £2.99?
Have you tried the iPhone/iPod touch FIFA 11 yet? If so, let us know your thoughts in the comments below...

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Mike Smith stopped 30 shots and the Phoenix Coyotes became the first team to shut out Chicago this season with a 2-0 victory over the Blackhawks on Friday night.
Coming off a disappointing loss to Dallas, the Coyotes charged at the Blackhawks following a pregame ceremony honoring the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team.
Keith Yandle scored 69 seconds in and had an assist on Radim Vrbata's goal late in the second period. Smith made it stand up with some tough saves late in the third period, closing out his second shutout of the season after rocker Alice Cooper played a three-song set during intermission.
Antoine Vermette extended his career-high point streak to nine games on Yandle's goal in front of a raucous, sold-out crowd.

It's Fakes News...employing the Goebbels Big Lie technique in their desperate last ditch efforts to bail the sinking Good Ship Willard and their tea party brownshirts

Somebody that saw the jobs report that came out yesterday, please explain this to me. How can anyone that watches this channel give one shred of credibility to anything that comes from this bunch?
It's Fakes News...employing the Goebbels Big Lie technique in their desperate last ditch efforts to bail the sinking Good Ship Willard and their tea party brownshirts
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
what I can't understand, Marano is why you think seeing a graphic on Fox News that is a total lie in favor of their beloved Right Wing agenda is surprising
Goebbels was reporting to the Germans that Der Fuhrer was winning the war as the Russians and Americans were deciding which should enter and conquer Berlin first
It was obviously a mistake. The reporter accurately reported the fact verbally, the mistake was corrected and they continue now to report the correct information.
Perhaps a wishful thinking kind of mistake, but do you believe this doesn't happen elsewhere? Do you really care about Foxnews? Do you think you're breaking new ground pointing out their bias? Are there not many media outlets biased for one side or the other?
Spare us the outrage. It's old. And unrelated to the real topics of the day. But I guess screen captures are just much easier to discuss than actual issues that require reading, understanding and original thought
How about responding to what he said? You're acting like they're purposely reporting lies, yet they reported the truth and corrected the typo
You're supporting a president that has lied over and over and over about the circumstances around the death of a US ambassador, but you're "outraged" over a typo?
I heard that on Tuesday Faux news has a plan to fool the country by flashing Romney Wins on their screens sometime around midnight. Watch it and you'll see I was right.
We get it. You love Obama. You hate Fox News. What else you got? So far you've brought to the table for us the topics of "4 more years" and "FoxNews made a dumb mistake".
3 days before the election. Not the economy. Not Benghazi. Not health care.
Fox News.
Like I've said, this country gets what it deserves.

Rochester cabbie robbed by man with gun
March 10. 2013 1:21PM
ROCHESTER — Police are looking for a man a cab driver says robbed him at gunpoint at about 3:20 Saturday morning in Rochester.
Police said they were told by the driver of a Frank's Taxi cab that he picked up a fare on Portland Street in downtown Rochester for a ride to Somersworth.
The driver told police the suspect pulled a black semi-automatic handgun and directed the cab to Salmon Falls Road where he demanded the driver's money. The suspect then ran off on foot.
A canine unit pursued a scent near Salmon Falls Road, where it was lost.
Police said the cab driver described the robber as a thin white male, about 6 feet tall, with a goatee and a tattoo on his right forearm. He was wearing a puffy grey jacket and black trousers,with dark sneakers and gloves.

A Vermont Fish & Wildlife grant program that's creating more access to safe places to shoot still has money available this fiscal year.
Shooting clubs, sportsmen's groups and government agencies involved in the operation of shooting ranges, including archery ranges, have until 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 to submit applications for funding from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.
The Shooting Range Improvement Grant Program was developed in 2010 to encourage the improvement of shooting ranges and to enhance their safety and operation.
The department made $80,000 available this year, of which $40,000 was obligated in the first round of funding. Examples of projects that could be eligible for funding include noise abatement structures, safety berms, shooting pads and stations, and the construction or improvement of access roads and parking lots. Grant money can be also used for lead mitigation. This could include recycling, reducing range floor surface drainage or liming range property.
These funds come from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Wildlife & Sport Fish Restoration Program and are derived from Federal excise taxes on hunting, shooting and fishing equipment. This is a 75 percent reimbursement grant program and requires a 25 percent non-federal match from the grant recipient. This can come through "in-kind" match, such as volunteer labor and donated equipment or cash.
Federal rules associated with this funding include a requirement that a range receiving one of these grants provide at least 20 hours of public use per week when in operation, and that the facility is open and made available at reasonable times to hunter education courses. Vermont nonprofit organizations, municipalities and clubs are eligible.
For further information or to download an application packet, visit the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department website at www.vtfishandwildlife.com. Click on "Hunting and Trapping," and then on "Shooting Ranges in Vermont." Or, contact Chris Saunders, Hunter Education Coordinator at 802-241-3722.

BERLIN (AP) — Swiss police say a couple was killed and their one-year old child seriously injured when the cable car they were traveling on fell onto a wooded cliff.
Police in central Schwyz canton (state) say the accident happened Saturday afternoon as the car headed downhill from its top station at Alp Baerlaui. The car came off its cable about 900 meters (985 yards) into its journey and dropped about 30 meters (nearly 100 feet).
The couple sustained fatal injuries in the fall. Police say the baby, which was being carried in a rucksack, was protected from the worst of the impact but still suffered serious injuries.
Police say the cable car is designed for transporting goods and wasn't supposed to carry people. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the accident.

UN humanitarian aid arrives in CubaNov 8, 2012
Santiago de Cuba - The first flight carrying 40 tonnes of United Nations humanitarian aid for Hurricane Sandy-affected Cubans arrived today in the hardest-hit city of Santiago de Cuba in the eastern part of the country.
The shipment includes essential items for hygiene and cooking, as well as school kits, waterproof canvas for temporary shelter, water tanks and water purification tablets.
Hurricane Sandy hit Cuba's eastern area on 25 October, affecting mostly the cities of Santiago de Cuba and Holguín. Eleven people died and nearly three million were affected.
"This is the beginning of a medium and long-term support process to recover the most affected provinces," said UN Resident Coordinator and UN Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative Barbara Pesce-Montero, adding that a second flight with another 40 tonnes of aid is scheduled to arrive in Santiago de Cuba 10 November.
In recent telephone conversation with Cuban President Raul Castro, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon conveyed his condolences for the deaths and damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. The Secretary-General expressed solidarity with the Cuban people and government and further reiterated the United Nation's support.
This first shipment is part of various UN agencies' response—including UNDP and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which has allocated US$5million to Cuba from the Central Emergency Response Fund to assist the hurricane-affected population. The Governments of Chile and Colombia joined the UN system's contribution and are currently supplying cooking kits and waterproof canvas.
The World Food Programme (WFP) has also mobilized nearly 800 tonnes of food, including rice, beans and vegetable oil, in addition to 15 temporary warehouses. The shipment is scheduled to arrive in 10 days.

TR10: Traveling-Wave ReactorApr 10, 2009 - Matt Wald - technologyreview.com
A new reactor design could make nuclear power safer and cheaper, says John Gilleland.
Enriching the uranium for reactor fuel and opening the reactor periodically to refuel it are among the most cumbersome and expensive steps in running a nuclear plant. And after spent fuel is removed from the reactor, reprocessing it to recover usable materials has the same drawbacks, plus two more: the risks of nuclear-weapons proliferation and environmental pollution.
These problems are mostly accepted as a given, but not by a group of researchers at Intellectual Ventures, an invention and investment company in Bellevue, WA. The scientists there have come up with a preliminary design for a reactor that requires only a small amount of enriched fuel--that is, the kind whose atoms can easily be split in a chain reaction. It's called a traveling-wave reactor. And while government researchers intermittently bring out new reactor designs, the traveling-wave reactor is noteworthy for having come from something that barely exists in the nuclear industry: a privately funded research company.
As it runs, the core in a traveling-wave reactor gradually converts nonfissile material into the fuel it needs. Nuclear reactors based on such designs "theoretically could run for a couple of hundred years" without refueling, says John Gilleland, manager of nuclear programs at Intellectual Ventures.
Gilleland's aim is to run a nuclear reactor on what is now waste. Conventional reactors use uranium-235, which splits easily to carry on a chain reaction but is scarce and expensive; it must be separated from the more common, nonfissile uranium-238 in special enrichment plants. Every 18 to 24 months, the reactor must be opened, hundreds of fuel bundles removed, hundreds added, and the remainder reshuffled to supply all the fissile uranium needed for the next run. This raises proliferation concerns, since an enrichment plant designed to make low-enriched uranium for a power reactor differs trivially from one that makes highly enriched material for a bomb.
But the traveling-wave reactor needs only a thin layer of enriched U-235. Most of the core is U-238, millions of pounds of which are stockpiled around the world as leftovers from natural uranium after the U-235 has been scavenged. The design provides "the simplest possible fuel cycle," says Charles W. Forsberg, executive director of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Project at MIT, "and it requires only one uranium enrichment plant per planet."

October 2012
October 26, 2012: The combination of summer like weather and late nights watching the Detroit Tigers square off against the San Francisco Giants have left the staff at TVD dog tired. Rather than spend our time sitting indoors, we enjoyed the 70-degree days and caught up on tasks that needed completion before winter sets in. Then we burned the midnight oil rooting for a team that seems more tired and confused than us. We'll be back next week with new storiess, but encourage you to search through the site and acquaint yourself with The Virtual Driver thus far. We think you'll be surprised by what you find.
October 19, 2012: Ever wonder what the engines of the future might be like? We have, and so have the people at Achates (a-kay-tees) Power. Their solution? An opposed-piston, two-stroke diesel. You can read more about it here. Then again, perhaps you're trying to figure out what Fiat will do to replace the Jeep Compass and Patriot or what to expect from the Dodge Dart SRT. We have some clues you might find interesting. Speaking of interesting, this weekend marks the running of the Petit Le Mans, and the Stateside debut of the DeltaWing. Unfortunately, the car was involved in a practice mishap. We have the video. If that's not enough excitement, Editor Sawyer takes a test drive in Ford's new Focus ST. Surprisingly quick and composed, is it good enough to knock VW's GTI from its pedestal? And Al Vinikour drives with raccoons, and shines a light on their dangerous habit.
October 12, 2012: This week Al Vinikour gets a First Run in the 2013 Audi A4 and S4, and spills the beans about one high-speed Audi trip in his past. Chris Sawyer also steps back to those days of yesteryear for his review of the Audi TT. Now that its well on its way with EcoBoost, Ford reveals its work in carbon fiber panels for future vehicles. And rumors about massive changes coming to the Speed network are true, but that doesn't mean all the speculation is right. Finally, Mr. Vinikour listens to the navigation systems in the cars he drives… and he doesn't like what he hears.
October 5, 2012: Lyonheart sets a production limit for its Jaguar E-Type homage, adds a convertible version, and denies U.S. buyers a chance to own its rolling sculpture. Al Vinikour is on the track of new cars. First, he insists on adding his two-cents worth to Editor Sawyer's intro story on the 2013 Accord. Next, Al gets his hands on five new Chevys, and tells us what he thinks of the Bow Tie Brigade's new offerings. Not to be outdone, Sawyer begins with a near-Tirade on last week's NASCAR race in Dover, a race that redefined the word "boredom". Next, he comments on motorcycle legend Willie G. Davidson's recent meeting with Pope Benedict XVI. That's followed by a look back at the career of F1's Michael Schumacher, who announced his second, and probably final, retirement this week. And Sawyer wraps it up with a First Run in the Lexus LS. To round out this week's offerings, Al goes off on instrumentation lighting… again. We have got to get his eyes checked.

Handling Specialty was approached by an international agricultural equipment manufacturer regarding a material handling challenge. The company, which makes equipment weighing in excess of 20 tons, needed a way to lift and hold equipment approximately 2' from the floor during one of the final stages of assembly, while the large wheels were being attached to the vehicle body. It is important that the equipment stay steady and level during this stage.
Handling Specialty custom designed and engineered an electro-mechanical lift system that could be installed in a pit under the assembly line. The lift has multiple safety measures built in, runs smoothly and quietly, and is operated by handheld pendant. Handling Specialty also installed the equipment and trained technicians on how to run and service it, in a true turnkey operation.

Look at the volume of any bar on a chart. You will notice that it is about the same on bars that, with hindsight, are obvious buy or sell signals. Casual observers might ask how that can be. Doesn't everyone enter on these clear-cut setups? The reason volume stays consistent is that while individual traders watch for these traditional setups so they can use tight stops, institutions see setups every second of the day.
A chart is a representation of what is taking place in a market — where buyers and sellers come together to determine a fair price at which to buy or sell. Of course, buyers want to buy lower and sellers want to sell higher, but what constitutes high and low is not that clear.
As a result of this uncertainty, traders rarely are more than 60% sure of whether the next several ticks will be up or down. Probability is only high during strong breakouts, but these are rare. Usually, confusion reigns; as a trader, you have to learn to trade when you are not quite as confident as you would like to be.
New traders often think of a setup as a reversal bar or pattern. A broader definition of a setup is any reason to take a trade, and it is composed of context as well as a specific signal bar.
Context is simply all of the bars to the left of the bar in question. For example, when you are looking to buy, you want the market to be testing a support level, such as a prior low, a trendline, a measured move projection, a breakout point or a moving average. You then hope to see a signal setup such as a bull reversal bar. This indicates that the market is reversing up from that support, and it increases your confidence that buying above the high of that bar will result in a profitable trade.
That said, if you wait for these perfect setups, you will not take many trades. Also, you will miss many of them because of complacency and you'll be unable to act when the setup forms. For example, there are 81 bars on the five-minute chart of an E-mini day session. If you are watching every tick for several hours and your setup has not formed, you naturally will begin to believe that it won't form any time soon.
This mindset will make you unprepared to trade. Great setups usually happen quickly and unexpectedly, and rarely are clear until many bars later. Beginners invariably miss them because they always are searching for certainty.
Such an attitude demonstrates a misunderstanding of how markets work. There has to be someone taking the opposite side of your trade, and if your trade is such an obvious buy setup, there will not be anyone willing to sell to you. Even the best trades are less certain than you would like them to be. At the end of the day when you print out a chart, the setup is clear, but that is because you now can see all of the bars to the right. In real time, you only see the bars to the left of your setup and signals are far less certain.
One way to handle this uncertainty is to scale into trades.

Christian Webster and the Crimson received one first-place vote (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's basketball team has been picked second in the 2012-13 Ivy League men's basketball preseason media poll, league officials announced Thursday.
The Crimson earned one first-place vote in the poll. Princeton, which was picked first, received the other 16 first-place votes. Rounding out the field in order of predicted finish are Columbia, Cornell, Penn, Yale, Brown and Dartmouth.
Harvard is coming off a 26-5 season in 2011-12, as the Crimson won its second straight Ivy League crown and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1946. Under head coach Tommy Amaker, who is entering his sixth season with the Crimson, Harvard went 12-2 in Ivy League play and established a program record with its 26 victories overall.
The Crimson also won the prestigious Battle 4 Atlantis tournament and earned the program's first national ranking in 2011-12, reaching as high as No. 21.
In addition to welcoming five newcomers to this year's squad, Harvard returns 10 players from last year's team, including senior co-captain Christian Webster and junior co-captain Laurent Rivard. Prior to the season, Harvard went on a 10-day international training trip to Italy, and the Crimson finished a perfect 4-0 in its exhibition games abroad.
The Crimson will open the 2012-13 season by hosting MIT Friday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m.
2012-13 Ivy League Men's Basketball Preseason Media Poll

2. Harvard – 109 (one first-place vote)
3. Columbia - 90
4. Cornell -- 80
5. Penn -- 74
