You know that saying "time marches on"? Well I wish it would stop. Now. I have just been informed that cyber-bullying, that scourge of the Internet, has stretched into the kindergarten set.
Kids as young as 6 years old are being bullied online. Six! My kid is 6, and she can't even tie her shoes yet (I know, I know, we are working on it). And now I have to worry about somebody stealing her self-esteem?
Now I know what you're thinking.
You're betting I'm one of those lazy moms who let her 6-year-old set up a Facebook account and doesn't bother to check what her little computer wizard is up to online. You know the type -- they sue computer companies for "addicting" their kids to games instead of taking the gadget out of said kid's hand. Their kids are practically begging to get into some kind of bad situation online, aren't they?
Not my kid. We've had our issues, learned from our mistakes, and that laptop is loaded down with so many locks that the most common complaint from her desk is "It's moving so slooooow." She doesn't Facebook. She doesn't Tweet.
So I'm doing pretty much everything "they" tell you to do. Which is the problem. While we're all focusing on how great we are because we've kept the little ones away from social media, the bullies have found ways around us.
Here's what you DO need to know: if your kid has a cellphone, it turns out they're more likely to be getting mean messages via text. And if they don't have a cellphone (really, at 6? mine doesn't), the messages are coming through systems like the Nintendo DS (yes, my 6-year-old has one). And then there's FaceTime and iMessaging on their iPod. And it goes on.
They're even saying kids are at risk on the Kindle Fire. We can't even let them read without somebody coming to harass them!
Message for parents? No one's safe. Watch them like a hawk on EVERYTHING.
I know I've heard it loud and clear. How about you?
What kind of bullying has your child encountered?

No sound out of the left side of your MacBook Air? Use this guide to replace the left speaker.
Remove the following ten screws:
Two 9 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
Eight 2.6 mm P5 Pentalobe screws
The special screwdriver needed to remove the ten 5-point Pentalobe screws can be found here.
These pentalobe screw sizes can't possibly be right - not even close. Should they perhaps be 0,8 mm and 1,2 mm?

My Wiha P5 screwdriver was too big for these screws, but my P4 worked fine.
BrianM -
The pentalobe screw size is 1.2 mm for Macbook Air.
The screw sizes refer to the length of the shaft, not the diameter of the head or socket. P5 is the standard pentalobe size for all these screws, regardless of length.
I agree that the notation is a little confusing. I think it's because, with standard sized hardware like for your house, you have shaft diameter (say 1/8" or 3mm) and shaft length (say 3" or 7.5cm). So we're programmed to think of small numbers like that as diameter. But in this case, they're length.

Draai de schroefjes voorzichtig los en leg ze op een stabiele plek neer en let erop dat de schroefje een verschillende lengte hebben.
It's probably not necessary but may be a little safer to completely discharge the old battery before replacing it.
im looking for a Logic Board for a
Apple - MacBook Air® - 13.3" Display - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB Flash Storage (Latest Model) - Silver Model: MQD32LL/A
Any help is appreciated.
P5 pentalobe screwdrivers are too big! The correct size for these screws are p4 pentalobe. P5 pentalobe was just able, with difficulty, to turn some of the screws. If the screws were at all tight, my p5 was unable to get them out, and started to strip the screws. A p4 screwdriver fit better and removed the screws with ease. (I was using high quality Wiha brand screwdrivers.)
Very simple installation. The screwdriver heads were exactly what we're needed, one head for the outside case screws, the other for the screws holding the battery in place. The computer started right up. Now to see how the battery holds up, but I have a good feeling about this!
My P5 and the T5 worked perfectly with my early 2015 Air 13"! And it is super fast! Thank you iFixit!
Wedge your fingers between the display and the lower case and pull upward to pop the lower case off the Air.
Remove the lower case and set it aside.
There is a nub on the inside of the case which is attached to the battery. When you try to pull it open, it appears to be attached to the plastic casing of the battery, which sometimes splits. I gently unhooked the nub from the battery before removing the case fully. This seems to happen if the battery has suffered some drop damage (plastic parts broken around screws and parts of plastic frame split). Just an FYI in case your lower case doesn't pull away easily.
Grab the clear plastic pull tab attached to the battery connector and pull it toward the front edge of the Air to disconnect the battery from the logic board.
The guide says: "Grab the clear plastic pull tab attached to the battery connector and pull it toward the front edge of the Air to disconnect the battery from the logic board", but the battery model that I was replacing did not have a clear plastic pull tab at all...
The battery model shown in this guide is: A1405
I was installing battery model: A1406
A1406 has the following connector:
By looking at the bottom of the new battery I saw how it could be removed. Simply by a gentle upward movement. I very, very carefully nudged it a bit upwards using a screwdriver on the left and right side, as shown here:
It came out fairly easy, luckily!
(And yes, I also cleaned up this MacBook before closing it again. It was a bit hairy in a literal way. Electronics and pets is not the best combination. ;-) )
This was a great guide!
I think you may have been reading the wrong guide by mistake.
Looking at the various MacBook Air battery replacement guides, all of the 13" models show the connector depicted in this guide. All of the 11" models (e.g. MacBook Air 11" Mitte 2012 Akku austauschen) show a connector like the one in your photos.
shamino -
The 13 inch's tab is a bit more difficult to reinstall than uninstall. Delicate care is needed.
I agree with Andrew and Joes. I also found that the trickiest part was to pull the tap back when reinstalling the new battery. A special hint at this point in the guide would be nice.
This is the tricky part if there is one. Just pull back towards the battery and not up.

hello there, My macbook air does not recognize a battery connected, anymore.
It looks like I damaged the connectors while trying to connect the battery back, although it does not look damaged. I must say, I tried a little force to squeeze the connector in the middle instead of the edge. May have damaged the connector ?
Once, after this, the MBA recognized my battery when pressed the connectors edge to the pins on the board. However, this did not last long and my MBA does not recognize the battery anymore. Any solutions on how I can fix this ? Please help.
Had the same issue where my Macbook did not recognize the battery on the first try. I opened it back up and re-seated the connector and that fixed the problem. That particular connector does not seem to have a positive engagement. It does not appear to seat all the way down. It's charging now and I hope it will remain stable and connected as I travel.
When we were putting the new battery in, it was easier to fit the tab back on and then fit the battery in place. I had someone helping me and they held the new battery up whilst I pushed the tab in. It was quite tight, and I ended up easing it in with the tip of a screwdriver on each edge in turn.
The plastic pull tab broke off with the tiny tug I gave it (Mid-2011 Air). I just unscrewed the battery and carefully pulled out the connector when I had the extra room.

for my 11inch mac air [mid 2011] the connecter is connected vertically and not horizontally - so you need to pull up, not back. thanks to Will for the links to the illustrations that made that clear. Getting the connecter to release was the hardest part of the job - otherwise, it was just removing screws.

Remove the following five screws securing the battery to the upper case:
Three 6.3 mm T5 Torx screws
Two 2.4 mm T5 Torx screws
The screw heads are made of a soft butter like chinese metal and will easily get f*cked up. take care when reinstalling to not mess them up.
The battery doesn't actually need to come out for this repair if you're confident working in tight spaces.
Lift the battery from its edge nearest the logic board and remove it from the upper case.
Quick note about the replacement battery, if you bought from iFixit and the battery sections have a thin film over them, peel them off. They're to protect the battery during transit, and if you leave them on they might cause heating issues.
Here is a link to my question about it: Replacement battery has thin film on each section do I need to remove? plus, I just got an email from iFixit customer support that it needs to be removed.
thank you for the help! I installed the proper batt properly following the advice from here;-) Mahalo from Hawaii-
Does replacement battery for Macbook Air 13" Mid 2012 works with Mac OS Sierra 10.12.3 and up?
Replaced it in no time! Thank you and cheers from Slovenia (that's the one who beat you in hockey few days ago

iFixit should really clarify whether the film covering each of the battery packs should or should not be removed. Based on dpchoung's comment I removed this film. It was not obvious or easy to remove and as I was doing it I realized that maybe this was not a good idea as I was concerned the packs might be damaged in the removal process. I suspect most people don't bother with this film. Later, clicking on the forum exchange I see conflicting advice. My guess is that the film provides added protection and has minimal impact on thermal issues. I am sorry I went through the bother of removing the film and hope no damage was done.

text: I've always been pumping after nursing so don't manage to pump too much at a time (between 1/4 oz up to 1 1/2 oz depending on time of day and if I get to pump for 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes.) Even the couple times I've tried power pumping I don't think I've gotten much more than 1 3/4 oz during the session. I'm not sure how long it would take to pump an entire feedings worth (say 3 oz) if trying to EP but I don't even have the luxury to try since DH is out of town working till the end of the month. (getting DS to let me put him down for 10-15 minutes so I can pump now is a challenge.)

...overnight charging will be a fraction of the price of daytime charging?
A new study claims to show that if three million of us went out tomorrow and bought plug-in electric cars, the UK's national grid could support our charging needs without missing a beat. The report was carried out by a consortium called the Range Extended Hybrid Electric Vehicle (REHEV) project, led by Jaguar-Land Rover and …
There have been a number of other reports that might throw this one into doubt. For example, we know that we will be losing several power stations in the next few years as they have to close due to their age, and they don't yet have replacements nor will have in the next decade. In fact, I understand that the UK already has to buy electric from France on a very regular basis (like daily).
However, I would like to have an electric car one day...
Everybody just using normal 13A domestic sockets.
Which'd mean dog slow charging, not the fast-fast that keeps getting pitched. I wonder how likely the National Grid is to cope with the "uncontrolled charging" scenario then..?
No use saying "Ah, well, that could be managed and staggered" - if I want to recharge for another 100 miles range in 15mins, I want to do it now so I can leave in 15mins, not in four hours when it's all got less busy.
Our energy use is unsustainable as things stand. Everyone who isn't part of a special-interests lobby and has read beyond the powergen propaganda knows this to be true. So where will we be getting the power to drive these electric cars, even if they ever become viable for the mass market? Unicorn piss?
Honestly, I can't help thinking we could probably figure our way through this crisis if we didn't waste so much effort fooling the public into thinking the future can in any way resemble the status quo. I despair. We deserve extinction. Just a shame that we're using up all the fossil fuels in the process, so whatever species follows us up the evolutionary ladder will never have an industrial revolution...
Even if the national grid is up to the job (it's certainly possible), the "research team emphasise that local improvements may nevertheless be necessary", according to the press release.
I'd like to see the costs for that.
That's potentially a lot of new substations, new cables to be laid, new electrical installations in each house (if you want anything faster than an overnight charge). At a modest £500/house the additional infrastructure cost comes in at well over £1billion...
We have a pretty good national power infrastructure, but not enough juice to put on it. Sure we might be able to support many leccy cars plugged in over existing wires but we would have to actually buy the leccy from France as we don't produce enough and are destined to produce less thanks to the Labour inability to do anything unpopular for the long term good.
This is like saying that you Virgin Media 20MB is good enough for anything. Sure the pipe is big but if they don't have any good content then it's next to useless.
The only thing that surprised me was the claim the grid/power generation system can sustain unrestricted charging. Which is surely not an issue anyway as most people would choose to do most charging at 'white meter' charges (look how far people drive to say 2p/litre on petrol).
Overnight there is plenty of capacity - even with the projected loss of nuclear and some major coal fired plant. Indeed it can help the system by using otherwise unused power capacity (particulary nuclear and wind with almost zero marginal cost and CO2 impact). Electric car batteries provide a user paid solution to the grids perennial problem in not be able to store electricity.
BTW chacking the Nat Grid monitor - the channel link from France is nearly always 'full-on' supplying 2Gw to us from their nuclear/wind fleet. Presumably because they can make a better offer than local generators. I wonder if another 2Gw link might be better than the projected Kingsnorth coal power station blowing our CO2 target from the same Kent coast.
The whole POINT of leccy cars is that they're massively more efficient than those using ICEs. Overnight charging (the obvious approach for most cars, most days) will have bugger all effect on on generation needs, or may even make more efficient use of baseload power that's already being generated to do little more than keep office lights on all night. You could turn off HEP, wind, coal at night, but there would be little point and/or major problems if yo so did.
As for you, Steve, have you not heard about our government's brilliant ideas to tax you as you drive via road pricing?
Is this report just stating that the power grid has the capacity to carry sufficient power to charge all these cars? As I have no difficulty believing that.
I'd be slightly more surprised if they were attempting to say that we have enough generation capacity to *produce* the electricity required to charge all these electric vehicles. After all, we have been getting warned repeatedly that the UK is dangerously low on generation capacity even with the *current* demand.
Perhaps it should be pointed out that it's not the National Grid that supplies the power, but the generating stations at the other end. The National Grid was evolved when this was an industrial country, with heavy power demands. Since we've now turned to selling each other promises to pay, the generating side has declined, whilst the distribution side being largely passive, remains.
They are already paniking about the Olympics coming to town and causing rolling blackouts. I personnally don't want to sit in teh dark so a bunch of people in leotards can leap about (more so if I can't see it on my telly and have a cuppa at the same time, whilst charging up my electric car and listening to an internat radio station and all this while I wait for my dinner to cook on the electric hob, whilst my boiler keeps me warm.)
Demand goes pretty low during the night (30GW min), so I can understand that overall it's possible that "no new power stations would be needed".
What I don't quite understand is the claim that it's still OK even with "uncontrolled charging". Presumably, most people will come home from work at more or less the same time, plug the car in and pop the kettle on. When is peak demand? Usually early evening.
Small (overnight) EV chargers apparently pull ~3kW. 3 million of these means up to 9GW extra peak load - right when you don't want it...
None of you have yet pointed out the slight problem of (I quote the Digest of UK Energy Statistics 2008 report):
"In 2007, every 1 toe of secondary electricity consumed by final users required, on average, 1.0
toe of coal, 0.9 toe of natural gas, 0.4 toe of primary electricity (nuclear, natural flow hydro and
imports) and 0.2 toe of oil and renewables combined."
I am currently looking into this whole area for my PhD. My point is a lot more energy goes into providing electricity than electricity actually gets delivered. I don't yet know the maths involving just how much more energy efficient electric vehicles are, but I have understood that unless they are substantially more efficient, in theory we could end up burning MORE fossil fuels were road transport to go electric, not less.
However, there is yet hope - I've spotted a few papers on Vehicle-to-grid power (V2G) you might find worth looking into. There are a few researchers who believe that electric cars could balance an increase in renewable energy supplies by offsetting their intermittency (and tendency to over-produce electricity) by providing distributed managed storage (amongst other things). This could also offset the costs of infrastructure, or possible upgrades to local network capacities (allowing the faster charging you are interested in).
But still one resounding problem remains: implementation. Should we find ways to make charging universal - not mattering where you park your car, then all should be fair. Otherwise, people rich enough to afford houses with garages or at least driveways, could benefit from the virtue of selling power back to the grid, while those of us who for instance live in converted-to-flats town houses in unsavoury areas will be prevented from doing so. Truly, the more money you have, the more money you get. I have heard a few physicists musing the idea of inducive charging (hands free, plugs free).
Apart from the smallest digit on your foot, toe is an abreviation for 'tonnes of oil equivalent' and is a unit for energy. It really threw me when I first started reading that thing! I know there will be physicists screaming about non-SI units (I also found it frustrating) but for some reason the government uses this one.
The DUKES report has an excellent section where they have kindly converted all energy use in the UK to this unit, so one can compare say road transport use directly to the amount of energy used for domestic purposes, not only this, but it also shows what the constituents were in this same unit e.g. coal, natural gas and secondary electricity. Obviously people quibble over the conversions, and what is and what isn't included in this report and the details. But I'm finding it very useful in my studies.
Not quite sure what Will is getting at with regards to coal fired powerstations... Does he mean that there would be no need for fossil fuel derived coal powerstations if we used renewables for electricity generation, backed up by storage and regulation (keeping the grid stable) from V2G power provided by our new electric cars? One can hope so. There is no surplus generation of electricity at the moment (that I know of) although it's true wind farms have to be disconnected at the moment when they are producing too much power.
Does anyone know if the report mentioned in this article includes V2G power? I'd be very interested to know. Also, does anyone know how environmentally friendly the batteries are for these new electric cars?

Truth is, women's basketball needed this. The Big East certainly needed it.
They needed a game to feel good about between national powers, archrivals, conference antagonists who pulsed and punched from start to finish.
They got it.
They needed excitement, suspense, a result that went undecided until the final bleep of the clock. What they didn't need was UConn-Stanford.
They needed credibility Saturday on CBS, the network of Cronkite, as far from ESPNU in terms of audience impact as Pluto is to Earth. This was showtime for women's basketball.
And showtime it was. UConn's hold on No. 1 is over after just one week.
Notre Dame All-American Skylar Diggins, in the midst of a 4-for-15 night, scored the last two of her 19 points on the foul line with 49 seconds to play to give the No. 5 Irish a 73-72 victory at sold-out Gampel Pavilion.
The last gasp was a three-point shot by Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis with three seconds to play from the right side.
"We got a great shot at the end of the game," Geno Auriemma said. "It would have upset me if someone we didn't want to take it ended up taking it. We came out of a timeout and got the shot we wanted."
It missed and Notre Dame dribbled out the clock.
"I took it. I missed it," Mosqueda-Lewis said. She came into the game shooting 52.6 percent from three.
"We thought about our football team putting up a goal line stand," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. "We thought, 'If they could do it, we can do it."
Kayla McBride led the Irish (12-1, 1-0) with 21 points. Freshman Michaela Mabrey had 11. Jewell Loyd and Natalie Achonwa had 10 each.
Stefanie Dolson and Mosqueda-Lewis had 17 for UConn (12-1, 0-1), which just became No. 1 a week ago with a win over Stanford. Kelly Faris added 13 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and five steals.
"I take responsibility for this loss," Faris said. "I don't just say that because it sounds good. As a leader on this team, I am supposed to set the tone. And I didn't do it defensively, which is usually expected of me. McBride got any shot she wanted and she made just about all of them [10 of 21].
The Irish have now won five of the last six games played against UConn since its national semifinal win over the Huskies in 2011.
Diggins' free throw with 7:17 to play tied the score at 63 and the game swayed like a branch in the wind down the stretch.
With 3:42 to play, Mosqueda-Lewis, by then saddled with four fouls and a sore right ankle, scored under the basket and was fouled to give UConn a 70-68 lead on her three-point play.
Diggins put Notre Dame up for good after she was fouled by Bria Hartley trying to score. Hartley, who played only seven minutes at Oregon on Dec. 31, had just nine points in 39 minutes against the Irish.
After a few more hectic moments, and two misses from Stewart, UConn took possession with 21.1 seconds to play. And the final stage played out.
"I thought it was a battle until the end," Diggins said. "And it came down to 20 seconds of defense, just like we practice it."
On Friday, Auriemma, a man of many words, picked the right one when asked if he expected this to play out like last Saturday's monstrosity in Palo Alto, when No. 2 UConn held No. 1 Stanford to 35 points.
"That was an anomaly," Auriemma said.
He was correct. Everything Stanford wasn't, Notre Dame was. The No. 5 Fighting Irish, deep and athletic, took it to UConn in a way the Cardinal never approached. They pressured UConn, essentially taking the free out of its freewheeling offense.
The Irish pushed and prodded, dared UConn to do something about it. They irritated Dolson, bothered the Huskies' shooters outside and opened a 29-20 lead against a team that hadn't trailed by more than two in its first 12 games.
Notre Dame's defense held UConn to 14 first-half field goals and 4 of 15 from three. It dismantled Stewart, turned the highly touted freshman into a spectator with zero first-half points in 10 minutes. She ended with 10 points, shooting 5 of 17 in 22 minutes. But she had nine rebounds and six blocks.
"This definitely opens our eyes," Stewart said.
It's not that UConn wasn't responsive. The Irish shot only 38.2 percent in the first half, and if not for McBride, the indefatigable junior, the Huskies might have been better off. But she scored 11 in the first half with muscle and will.
With 8:20 to play in the first half, the game was tied at 20. Then the Irish rolled off nine straight, including a three by Mabrey that was accompanied by a foul under the basket on Morgan Tuck that sent Achonwa to the foul line for one more point.

Yeah, Hellshing and Vimpire D: Blood Lust are the best vampire shows ever.
And for those who said that Shingetusan !#@ (i don't know how to spell it) is better than these vampire shows. I think that hey are worng because that anime doesn't have much relation with vampires. It has no action and terror. In another words it is not an anime about vampires.
So yeah Hellshing and Vampire D are the best vampire shows ever.

Indeed the atmoshere of Hellsing is really excellent, too bad that they completely messed up the end of this show...
I recommend to read the manga, at the beginning the drawing is a little odd but the history is 100 times better than in the anime.
And the volume 6 is out lately ^^

Hellsing was really cool. Sorta like a poor history (anime) IMO (compared to the manga), but it was really worth watching

Hellsing was a great animation put into a poor story... they have a really good manga that they felt the need to compress into just 13 episodes which was impossible... so there you have it... the characters are great I hope they make a bigger second season but the story is shit...
In the manga, for instance, the girl isn't soooo childish as it is displayed in the anime, she is a lot eager to drink human blood and be mean and run amok... in the anime she seems to have lived with Madre Teresa de Calcuta...

What? I am washed up!
Gonzo ran out of HellSing manga fairly fast. I think the anime was made when there was only 2 or 3 volumes of manga out...
HellSing 1-8 = EXCELLENT!!!
HellSing 9-13 = err... barely watchable
Thankfully Dark Horse are releasing the manga now and I read the first volume the other day. While the manga loses Gonzo's magic touch on things of course, it still seems excellent, so check it out.
And oh yes, Arucard = BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He seems even more of a badass in the manga, I'm a'hippen ^_^

oops haha , got that wrong, anyway i play that game before and he was very cool, when i watch hellsing, i would actually prefer the game's character rather than the anime's bud since .. alucard might have grown tired of his black and white costume, thought of something reddish

I won't lie, I enjoyed Hellsing. Alot. Everything was awesome...until the last eps. Since the manga hadn't been finished at the time, the creators decided to make up their own story and that's the reason for the rushed ending. The whole Incognito thing was just...bah just read the manga. Much better IMO and you get to see what ACTUALLY happens.
Yes Alucard is the vamp man.

I quite enjoyed it, as far as quick ending GONZO ending an anime series quick seems to be their "thing". There ending Chrno Crusade at episode 13 too. He at least they didn't kill it by putting like 20 episodes of fillers in it right. Like unfortunately too many other anime's we know.

2009 Buyers' Guide Sneak Peeks: Kensington, Speck, more
Along with the V-Moda Vibe II and Griffin Navigate, noted in our prior news story, several other products made their debuts in the 2009 iPod + iPhone Buyers' Guide. Speck Products debuted its QwickDraw Holster for iPhone 3G and fabric-covered Fitted Case for iPod nano 4G, both of which are expected in stores next month. Kensington debuted two similar Bluetooth kits, the Bluetooth Hands-Free Visor Car Kit and the Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit, the latter of which plugs directly into a cigarette lighter power port, removing the need for the rechargeable battery packs used in the visor-mounted model. Expect these to be released between December of 2008 and February of 2009.
Maximo unveiled its 5-Series Isolation Earphones, including the iMetal iM-590, the microphone-laden iP-595, and the iP-HS5, which uses a better microphone, soft-touch remote, and both shirt clip and lanyard options. All three models are slated for release next month. Newcomer Phantom debuted its Remixx Dock-mounting audio enhancement accessory, offering dual headphone ports, and supposed improvements to both the apparent soundstage and separation. It is expected to hit shelves in December. Finally, Scosche revealed its upcoming IDR450M and IDR600 earphones, offering metal enclosures, drivers designed to accentuate the midrange and treble in audio, and, in the case of the 450M, and integrated microphone. Both models should be available in December. For more information on these and thousands of other products for the iPod and iPhone, check out our 2009 iPod + iPhone Buyers' Guide.
V-Moda debuts Vibe II, Griffin debuts Navigate in 2009 Guide
The Sneak Peeks sections of iLounge's iPod + iPhone Buyers' Guides often see the first public debuts of new and exciting accessories for iPods and iPhones. This year, two of the most notable new products debuting in the 2009 iPod + iPhone Buyers' Guide come from V-moda and Griffin, in the form of the Vibe II headphones and the Navigate remote and FM receiver for iPod and iPhone. As the sequel to the popular Vibe ($128), V-Moda's Vibe II with Microphone carry over some of the original's best features—such as fabric cables, an integrated microphone with a music/call control button (found on the Vibe Duo), and separate black and clear eartips in multiple sizes—while adding a new smaller size of eartips, new casings, and detachable earhooks.
Griffin's Navigate is the first in-line display remote control for iPhones and iPods, and a spiritual successor to the company's earlier iFM. Navigate features a two-line OLED screen, play/pause, track forward/backward, stop, scan, EQ, playlist, and shuffle buttons. In addition to showing song information on the screen, Navigate also allows users to tune in FM radio stations, complete with RDS information. Both products are slated for release in November.
Mix: Opera Mini, Tap Tap NIN, Classics
According to recent statements given to the New York Times by Opera Software co-founder Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, Apple has rejected a version of the company's Opera Mini browser from the App Store. The report states that Opera's developers have produced a version of Opera Mini that can run on the iPhone, but that Apple is barring its release because it competes with Apple's own Safari browser.
Tapulous has released the Nine Inch Nails edition of its popular iPhone and iPod touch rhythm game Tap Tap Revenge. The game includes 13 NIN tracks from The Slip and Ghosts I-IV, multi-player mode, and NIN-themed graphics. Tap Tap Revenge: Nine Inch Nails Edition is available now from the App Store and sells for $5.
Andrew Kaz and Phillip Ryu have released Classics, a new book reading application for the iPhone and iPod touch. Classics offers users a unique interface that mimics that of a real book, along with an integrated progress display, a table of contents button for quick navigation, visual bookmarks, and a virtual bookcase view for sorting through the offerings. Classics comes pre-loaded with books such as The Time Machine, Paradise Lost, and The Jungle Book; the developers promise to add more books to the collection via free updates. Classics is available now from the App Store and sells for $3.
Griffin intros iTrip Auto for iPhone
Griffin has released a new version of its iTrip Auto FM Transmitter for the iPhone and iPhone 3G. Functionally identical to the updated iTrip Auto released in September, iTrip Auto for iPhone employs a one-cable design combining a FM transmitter and auto charger, featuring an in-line control box with a backlit LCD screen, SmartScan automatic FM frequency-finder button, four presets, and tuning buttons, and a charging stem with power switch and a three-color charging indicator. Griffin's iTrip Auto for iPhone is available now and sells for $70.

Available in a variety of color combinations, it sells for $95 and up.
AT&T launches free Wi-Fi for iPhone users
After several gaffes which saw the company prematurely activate and then pull the feature, AT&T has finally launched its free Wi-Fi access for iPhone users at all AT&T-branded hotspots in the U.S. The service will provide free high-speed Internet access to iPhone users at all AT&T hotspots, including those found at Starbucks. To access a hotspot, users must launch the Safari browser, enter their 10-digit phone number on the page provided, agree to the Acceptable Use policy, and tap continue. AT&T will then send the user a text message containing a link, which the user must then open in Safari, and tap a link on the page. The company notes that the link sent via SMS will be valid for 24 hours, and only at the location from which it was requested.
iSkin rolls out fuze for iPhone 3G [updated]
iSkin has introduced its new fuze case for the iPhone 3G. Like the company's prior fuze case for the original iPhone, fuze for iPhone 3G blends a soft inner rubber layer with a hard-shell rear and front covers. The case features a built-in Dock Connector cover, complete button coverage, open access to the ring/silent switch, an included screen protector, and compatibility with iSkin's revoClip. The iSkin fuze for iPhone 3G is available now in black, red, and silver, and sells for $45.
Updated: In addition to the fuze, iSkin also announced new Vibes and Duo cases for the fourth-generation iPod nano and second-generation iPod touch. Vibes for iPod nano 4G are soft, flexible cases featuring a glossy finish and one of seven original artistically-designed patterns to complement the nano's existing color. Other features include integrated screen protection, an adhesive-free Click Wheel protector, and an included Dock Connector cover and custom Universal Dock Adapter. iSkin Vibes for iPod nano 4G are available now for $25. iSkin's Duo case for iPod nano 4G combines a silicone case with a hard polycarbonate ViSOR screen guard to offer improved protection. It includes a Click Wheel protection film, a Dock Connector protector, a custom Universal Dock Adapter, and a removable low-profile belt clip. iSkin's Duo case for iPod nano 4G is available in 3-pack combos of white, clear, and black, purple, clear, and blue, or red, clear, and pink, each selling for $35.
The iSkin Vibes for iPod touch 2G, like the Vibes for iPod nano 4G, is a soft, flexible case featuring a glossy finish and a finely-detailed design in the case itself. It offers open access to the headphone jack, coverings for the volume and sleep/wake buttons, and includes a screen protector, a Dock Connector guard, and a custom Universal Dock Adapter. Available in five different colors, it sells for $30.

Mix: Artist apps, Canada, iPhone 2.2 + Podcasts
As expected, rock group Snow Patrol has released a free iPhone and iPod touch application as a companion to their new album A Hundred Million Suns. The new app offers lyrics, videos, and links, hidden inside origami stars (as seen on the album cover) which need to be opened using two-finger gestures. In addition, the artist Pink has also released a free application, Pink's Funhouse, which offers previews of her new album, artist news, images, and more. Both apps are available now from the App Store.
New legislation introduced in Canada this week would make it illegal to use your iPod while driving. Under Ontario's proposed "distracted driving law," drivers who use their cell phones or portable DVD and media players would face fines of up to $500. Transportation Minister Jim Bradley called the fines "significant," adding, "If I want to change stations on the radio ... I can do so; that is not prohibited. But if I were holding a hand-held device and did that, I would be in trouble."
An alleged screenshot from the latest beta version of iPhone Software 2.2 suggests that Apple is preparing to enable user to download podcasts directly to the iPhone or iPod touch. The inclusion of such a feature might explain the rejection of the app Podcaster, which Apple said duplicated "the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes."
Xplay 3.1 adds iPhone, iPod touch drive access
Mediafour has released Xplay 3.1, the latest version of its iPod utility software for Windows. Version 3.1 adds the ability to access the iPhone and iPod touch directly, mounted as external drives, making it easy to access and backup music stored on the device, and enabling the device to function as a portable drive. In addition to drive letter access, the new version offers improved control over photos, and allows direct copying from one iPod to another. XPlay 3 is available now and runs $30 for a single license, or $40 for a two computer license. Previous owners of XPlay can upgrade to the new version for $15 ($25 for 2-pack upgrade).

Mix: Rogers, Wal-Mart, iPhone 2.2, Credit Card, David Cook
Reporting its third quarter financial results, Canadian iPhone carrier Rogers revealed that it activated around 255,000 iPhone 3Gs in the quarter. The activations, about one-third of which were new subscribers, helped the company post an 84 percent boost in quarterly profit. Overall, the company added 191,000 new subscribers during the quarter.
Wal-Mart has re-launched its DRM-free MP3 downloads store, with select top songs available for as little as $0.74 per track. The company has also added an iTunes-like free track of the week, and support for both Firefox and Safari browsers (the store was previously IE-only). In addition, it will begin offering a free MP3 track with every CD purchase—both in-store and online—beginning in mid-November. Wal-Mart claims it now offers more than 3 million MP3 tracks.
According to a screenshot posted to the Greek website iPhone Hellas, iPhone Software 2.2 will prompt users to rate an application when deleting it from their iPhone or iPod touch. The screenshot shows a standard iPhone alert box, asking the user to "Please rate [App Name] before deleting," and instructing them to tap a star (from one to five) to rate the app. Buttons at the bottom allow the user to say "No Thanks" or to rate the app.
Inner Fence has released its new Credit Card Terminal application for the iPhone and iPod touch. Terminal allows users to process credit card payments through Authorize.Net directly from their device, operating over Wi-Fi, 3G, or EDGE connections. Credit Card Terminal is available now from the App Store and sells for $50.
USA Today reports that American Idol winner David Cook will release a special $2 version of his single "Light On" through iTunes this week that will include a lighter application for the iPhone and iPod touch. According to the report, the application will begin playing the song as soon as the user lights the virtual lighter. As of this writing, the enhanced single has yet to appear on the iTunes Store.

Post subject: replaying... w/ Mericious/PyanPau/Grace vs. first play
first time I played through w/ Charlotte (?--the blonde rifle girl), Kaltos, and Enshadu aka the same party everyone else uses
I found a lot of fights e.g. the Count hard, but granted it was first time I played
but this time I'm playing w/ 2 priests and 1 rifleman (Meric. Pyanpau and Grace)
Maybe it's solely b/c I know the mechanics, but I am finding the game far easier in battles, in a matter of 3-4 hours I am already at the Institute and only suffered two defeats (but keep in mind I am rushing the entire time through fights, being lazy)
Most fights are pretty easy, I damn everyone, grace unloads, and PyanPau does trick
To really collapse enemies I have both Pyanpau + Meric spamming Wrath and Grace doing empowder
I don't need Grace wasting time on smoke barrels usually b/c I can also spam heal with each priest to recover entire party quickly
Meric. has the staff + book dropped by the Inquisitors so his damn/wrath are really good
And finally I can sometimes have one priest spam Aurora and another Heal, and grace just deal empower + aimed shot for example to drop bosses--I literally just set the combat speed on fastest, walked off, came back and Cloud Child was dead
So I am wondering does anyone else feel 2 priests + rifleman is a killer party?
Plus it's fun listening to Mericious and PyanPau argue or debate, and the former mock the latter's "grandfather" invisible friend

Dodge backed by multiple heals should be very good at tanking damage too. Are you playing on normal difficulty?
Grandfather was going to have a real speaking part in the finale ( heard by PyanPau only of course ) To my regret, I decided to drop it to save time.

Post subject: yes, normal difficulty
Normal difficulty, unlocked
Just beat the game w/ this party, 8.75 hrs total
I should have played it on Locked Hard
Anyway, based on end-game tallies, my KOs were half that of my Kalt/Char/Enshadu playthrough, and I got through most fights easily
Itemwise, I gave the one evil book to Mericious, the one that poisons everyone in combat every minute or so that you get by defeating the priests in the snow town. This worked out wonderfully, it would infect guys who had fled to the back ranks, which would knock them off. Further, it would easily knock out revived targets, so basically once an enemy died, they were gone for good.
The Inquisition subplot was awesome, I figured halfway through the dialog that things were going to come to a fight, but it was still shocking b/c Mericious was willing to possibly kill members of his own priesthood.
I don't recall PyanPau or Grace Winters having a deep subplot role, the story certainly revealed interesting facts about them, and at the time I didnt realize it, but now I wish there had been a bit more to it, like PyanPau having a subquest or combat etc.
But that's just a minor quibble--overall, even on playthrough 2, game was just as amazing as first time, and more insightful since I knew the core plot going in. Now what Mama Yaga was saying to the party makes way more sense... hopefully what she says is correct, that mankind will go to the stars again.
I hope all the Rakari weren't killed by Batiste, they were awesome...
BTW, I think the best art/background of the game, is just all the subtle propaganda the Rakari have made, like "Protect" "Serve" etc., and also how in the Trader Town, the traders have written propaganda all over the pro-Rakari posters.

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your second play-through euthanatos!
Your experiences with the poison book are also interesting. I didn't take the time to fully test/ calculate the numbers on it myself. It is supposed to do less poison damage to the party than opposing creatures.
It's good that you didn't find normal difficulty... hard a second time around.
That's how it should be, hopefully.
Thanks for sharing your feedback.

Did the exact same thing - so much for me having free will haha. Agree with everything you said, and would also add that an enpowdered strike is GODLY. At least as good of an armor-breaker as charged slays, and possibly slightly better since it doesn't have to be set up. That was also the playthrough where I discovered how awesome black bullet was. So much damage!

+1, this would be nice. Mental arithmetic for plain attacks is easy for me, but when it starts getting into resistances I break out the calculator as well.
All damage prediction should take resistances into account, FYI. Or is this pre-planning for combat where you can't see the predictions?
Herborist wrote:Speaking of damage predictions, I think there's something wrong with how the game handles the sorcerer. It might be just me, but I don't think it's taking into account the sorcerer's second ability (he deals magic damage based on his level). I've killed things that said "safe" instead of "victory."

Hero of the Beach wrote:Sorry, this sounds like a step in the wrong direction. Currently the issue with the adventure loadout screen is that the buttons are small and the menu flow is counter intuitive, moving around the screen in odd directions. Taking those buttons and dragging them all over town will result in a minigame of hide and go seek every time you start a new adventure, at least until you memorize where everything is by rote.
I think the menu in the freeware version was laid out just about ideally, in that you had your races, you had your classes and then you had your destination, and there were clear dividing lines between them. Given the new number of dungeons, it makes sense for destination to come first, but the loadout still needs to be clear and cleanly organized.
If you wanted to split the difference you could do portrait magnifications that clearly pointed to where they're supposed to come from in town or something like that, which would allow for big buttons that could be easily moved, but I think it's fundamentally confusing to leave town, go to the world map, click on a dungeon, and then suddenly be back in town. I thought something had broken at first.
A better system, I think, would be to have a completely separate adventure loadout screen, and keeping the clickable buildings for their new town functions and upgrades. That way you still get to use the nice map in an interactive way, but nobody will be confused.
Snowy wrote:I really dislike the new grinding aspect of the money system, especially with the rewards decreasing for the boss trophies. I've been playing for like 6 or 7 hours now and the pace has slowed almost to a halt. I've only unlocked one of the third tier classes.
I don't mean to sound like someone who always says "but it was better in the oooollllld version," but I think what DD alpha did right was having classes unlock immediately after mastery of the previous tier, which was very satisfying, and then by having many challenges (defeating Snake Pit, Library, Boss Hive, with each class, etc) available to players who've mastered all the classes.
Having unlocks be gold-dependent (especially with gold being so scarce relative to the unlock requirements) just makes it grindy--even when you know you've mastered a class, you have to play seven or eight times or more, since the boss trophies decrease in value, agh, just to unlock the next level.
In short: having the pace of the game be controlled by grinding for gold is way, way, way less satisfying than having it be controlled by mastery of previous classes. If you want to slow the pace down, maybe just add more challenges, like "defeat Creeplight Ruins with all classes" or something?
(Speaking of which, right now there's no motivation to try out different classes on each dungeon--I just go with what's most well-suited. Even having a record of which classes have defeated what dungeons would be nice.)

In most situations the battle prediction rectangles tell you all you need to know, but there are situations like described above where you just have to make sure if it's worth the effort, or if you'll just waste your hp for nothing.
Also, please make the damage prediction rectangles darker, the way they are in the alpha.
Another thing - when I right-click to cancel a glyph while my mouse is on an enemy, the battle prediction needs to update to show info for a regular attack.
Where can I report all these bugs and suggestions in a proper way so that 200 people aren't saying the same thing over and over again?

Dolfin: Anise and Red Pepper
For a long time I was looking for the Dolfin chocolate in two flavors - Green Aniseed and Red Peppercorn. I finally gave up on finding them in stores (and believe me, I've been to a lot of stores) and ordered online from Chocosphere (I recommend them).
Both bars are dark chocolate (52% cacao) and feature more savory flavors than many other bars. I like the packaging because I know I'm not going to be able to finish a bar quickly and it enables me to save it and keep it fresh.
A L'Anis Vert - Dark Chocolate with Green Aniseed - I happen to love the combination of anise/licorice and chocolate. Anise is generally a milder flavor than licorice. In fact, it's more of the licorice flavor without the sweetness. It's mellow and woodsy with a little floral note to it. The anise also seems to bring out the vanilla notes in this chocolate. The bar is studded with aniseeds, which is sometimes a little clumsy as they can be quite fibery and crunchy. The anise flavor permeates the chocolate, so the flavor goes through and through with bursts of it around the seeds.
I know that the concept behind the Dolfin bars is that the spice or fruit is actually in there, but I might prefer just the flavor. I felt the same way about the mint bar I tried last year.
Au Poivre Rose - Dark Chocolate with Pink Peppercorn - this bar smells wonderfully peppery and slightly sweet. The chocolate is smooth, dark and has a slight bitter edge. There's a slight burn to the whole thing and of course the mild hints of peppercorn throughout. The bar is also studded with peppercorns which give the bar a little crunch like a nibby bar with a spicy bite. It's never unpleasantly hot though. It reminds me of carnations which always have that wonderful sweet spicy smell to them.
This one is definitely a winner in my book, but what's fun is having them together. It's a good flavor combination as they're both woodsy, spicy flavors. I still prefer the chocolate from Dagoba but they don't really have these flavor combinations, so it'll never be an apples to apples comparison.
The best indication of tastiness when eating more than one bar is which one is finished first. The Red Peppercorn won by three sections.

Dolfin Variety Tasting Squares
I was on a kick to find the Dolfin Peppercorn bar and stopped at the same liquor store that my husband bought the previous assortment. No luck. But they did have this assortment of tasting squares that I picked up.
There are 24 squares in the package, 12 flavors.
Cafe Noir - dark chocolate with coffee bean bits. I'm kind of tired of the whole idea of throwing something that I generally regard as garbage in my chocolate. There are ways of getting coffee flavor into my chocolate without putting the actual beans in there.
I think I prefer chocolate that comes in a slightly thicker piece. These very thin tasting wafers seem just slightly chalky to me and I'd prefer something with a bit more tooth to it.
I'm still looking forward to the Pink Peppercorn and Anise bars (which I ordered from Chocosphere) but I think I may prefer Dagoba and Lake Champlain as an overall brand to Dolfin.

Dolfin Chocolate Bars
Name: Dolfin Chocolat: Noir au Gingembre Frais, Au Lait au The Vert Sencha du Japon, Noir aux Fuelles de Menthe
I thought on the eve of the start of Whalewatch Season here in Southern California it was appropriate to review something under the brand name Dolfin (we see more dolphins on whale watching trips than whales anyway). The Man bought these bars for me recently at a wine & spirits store in our neighborhood. The gentrification of our little 'hood means that the former liquor store now carries a wider selection of wines, beers and of course Belgian chocolate.
What drew him to the bars wasn't the reviews but the fact that the bars are packaged in these plastic cloaked paper envelopes that reminded him of tobacco pouches. It's actually a pretty simple and successful idea, a long bag that you fold over several times to keep a good seal. The bars inside are additionally sealed in little plastic sleeves but at 2.47 ounces, I wasn't going to eat them all in one sitting and I appreciated having a clean and crisp way of carrying them around until I do.
Noir aux Fuelles de Menthe (Dark with Mint Leaves): Instead of being your common dark chocolate bar with mint oils in it, this bar contains real spearmint leaves. This was the least successful bar for me. The mint was nice and it being spearmint was a nice change from the more common peppermint, but the bar seemed a bit more chalky than the others. At first I thought it had bloomed, but the sheen was right and the snap looked good. I can only assume that it's the interaction of the real mint leaves in there. They also make the bar kind of grainy. The sugar balance is good though and the mint is smooth and has some good tannins in it that mix well with the rich dark chocolate.
Noir au Gingembre Frais (Dark with Fresh Ginger): I'm a ginger nut and many of the ginger/chocolate combinations that I find are with milk chocolate, so finding one that was in dark chocolate is exciting. The bar had a good woodsy mix of scents - the spicy ginger and smoky chocolate. The dark chocolate is only 52% cacao (as is the mint one) but it just felt really rich and dense. It was a little grainy but had a lot of flavors in the mix with a good buttery base to help the ginger and chocolate mingle.
Au Lait au The Vert Sencha du Japon (Milk with Sencha Green Tea from Japan): Wow, this bar smells like green tea ice cream. The wonderful lightly floral and woodsy tea blends wonderfully with the delicately dairy tasting milk chocolate. The bar is smooth and very sweet except for the green tea bits. It makes the bar better for doing a bit of chewing before letting it melt on the tongue instead of leaving a tab of it on the tongue first. This is definitely a bar that I could eat a lot of and I'm hoping that even though it only has 32% cacao, the benefits of both the green tea and chocolate will bring me good health in the new year.
Dolfin has a huge line of these "creation" bars, including Masala (hot spices), aniseed, pink peppercorn and Earl Grey tea. They have boxes with tasting squares that look like they would make for a fun evening.

At this point, I don't see any way to determine which AMSAT group will be able to get a satellite into space first. AMSAT-DL has been going with launching a complete satellite and trying to find some discounted space to put it in. However, there is no longer a hope of a discount. AMSAT-NA had the same problem but are trying to address it by purchasing space in another satellite. When building the complete satellite you have a much larger engineering program and more risk. Building transponders for inclusion within another satellite means less work and less risk but you have to accept the orbit provided by the host. Its good that both approaches are being persued. The AMSAT-DL and AMSAT-NA organizations have good relations with each other and assist each other with money and volunteers.

My mental escape hatch for bike related stories and other festivities. Your mileage may vary. Call now - operators are standing by.

Team Fat Chance Yo Eddy - Peek from Beyond
Feast your eyes on this specimen of all things old school cool. Yes, bike geek alert in full alarm. Team Fat Chance Yo Eddy in all its steel frame and fork glory, courtesy of Fat City Cycles. Please bow your heads. Fat City Cycles. R.I.P.
Suspension? Nada. Toe clips? Check. Top mount shifters? Check. Turbo saddle? Check. Fat ass tires? Check. Stare in awe at the green and black fade paint. Marvel at the correct stance of the thing. It just plain looks right. One of the coolest mountain bikes ever made. You know it. I know it. We all know it. Well, at least now you know...
Okay, I'm biased. I own one, now retired after many years of use. I still enjoy just seeing it hang in the garage. I occasionally buzz it around, still amazed how good it feels. Some frames appear to contain magic in their tubes. This is one of those bikes. Trust me.
I pulled this image off the 'net. Not sure of the original source, so apologize for not giving credit for the excellent photo of how things were. We now return to our regular programing, already in progress.

Rebuild it! Bring it back to life!That would be super cool!ReplyDelete
My Yo Eddy is actually in pretty good shape - totally rideable. Some paint and decal wear for sure from use. I've thought about sending it off to Groovy Cycles for paint and new decals, but doubt I will. Shows some history the way it is.ReplyDelete
