The Denver Broncos need to pick a QB to help calm fans

Fans of the Denver Broncos set records with their attendance at training camp this year. It was an impressive show of support for the team, and not an uncommon theme. Broncos country is one of the best fanbases in the NFL. However, Broncos Country is a little uneasy right now.

There is a dark cloud over the franchise. Every report, tweet, or crow about the Broncos is met with fear, anger, arguments, and consternation. The reason for this uneasiness? The obvious football cliche that all franchises hope to avoid. If you have two quarterbacks, you actually have none.

There is an interesting phenomenon in football that Denver fans have been dealing with over the summer. With no true QB, every little issue seems like the end of the world. As Ian St. Clair and I discussed on the MHR Radio podcast, not having a solid starter at the QB position makes everything else murky.

Just think back to August 12th. Derek Wolfe goes down with an injury, and Twitter blows up with the end of the season. Losing Wolfe would have been detrimental to the season, but the cloud of darkness crept in pretty quickly. Then Chris Harris Jr. seemed to tweek something. Nothing major, but the reaction on Twitter was deep fear and panic.

Derek Wolfe is not putting any weight on his right leg. Now being carted back to the main building. Awful news.

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) August 12, 2017

The observation here is actually a simple one. There is a calming affect a starting QB has on a franchise. Imagine the reaction of Broncos Country during the Peyton Manning era. Yes, fans would have been unhappy. Yes, a small amount of panic may have set in. But no, it would not have been the apocalyptic scene of today’s fans.

At this point, the Broncos need a starting quarterback to simply act as a Xanax for the fans. Whether Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch is named the starter, the sooner it happens the better. It seems as if this will all be over soon. The second preseason game will be Lynch’s chance to impress the coaching staff. Siemian looks like he has done enough to retain the starting job for now. Of course, even after a starter is named everything could change.

Not only is the season far from over, it is far from started. If the last few weeks have been hard on your ticker, you may want to get some heart medication. Until the Broncos have the QB situation figured out, even the smallest blip will cause the sky to tumble. It might be time to buy an umbrella.

Smart Money Launches MePay with Rocket Internet’s Zalora Philippines

Wireless services leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), through its leading mobile money service Smart e-Money, Inc. (SMI) and in partnership with Zalora Philippines, the fashion brand of Rocket Internet, has launched a breakthrough electronic and mobile payments platform for the unbanked and uncarded that will allow users in emerging markets to participate in the digital economy.

MePay, the new payments platform that only requires any Philippine mobile number upon sign-up, will now allow for secure and convenient online shopping with Zalora even for customers without a credit card. Initially, MePay users can top-up their accounts through direct transfers from Smart Money accounts or through any of the 30,000 Smart Money Padala centers nationwide.

Initially available in the Philippines, MePay will soon provide a robust and effective payments platform for emerging markets like the Philippines, especially those countries with low banking and credit card penetration.

“The Philippines has one of the highest growth rates for e-Commerce in the Southeast Asian region but credit card ownership is still at just around 4% of the entire population—a long-time hurdle which MePay intends to address. Since many Filipinos do not have a bank account or have yet to own a credit card, e-Commerce has not flourished in the country as much as everybody expected,” said Benjie S. Fernandez, Chief Operating Officer at SMI.

“With MePay, we are expanding the space for e-Commerce around the world by enabling secure and convenient online payments through a service that’s easy to use and access. In the next few months, you will see more features added to MePay,” he added.

MePay can now be used with online lifestyle portal Zalora (, a Rocket Internet company operating in the Philippines, as part of the series of collaborations with the global Internet firm following PLDT’s strategic investment in the company back in August. During this launch “sneak peek” of MePay, Zalora is offering 25% off for shoppers if they checkout using MePay during the Christmas Season.

“ZALORA is more than thrilled to team up with with the country’s leading telecommunications network through MePay. As ZALORA is constantly looking for ways to improve our customer experience and offer the highest level of service quality to our portfolio of payment options, we are excited to be the first to partner with MePay to extend this innovative service to end users,” added Paulo Campos, Managing Director, ZALORA Phlippines.

Next-level e-Commerce

An established leader in innovation, Smart has paved the way for mobile money with the launch of Smart Money in December 2000, a first-in-the-world service that has made payments and remittances easier and hassle-free for consumers.

“Today, with the launch of MePay, we are kicking it a notch higher and taking e-Commerce to the next level by opening up the platform to merchants, big or small, so they can easily accept electronic and mobile payments from their customers,” Fernandez said.

For the launch, MePay users can initially link their Smart Money funds to their accounts, or “top up” their MePay wallets through the expansive network of more than 30,000 Smart Money Padala Centers nationwide, more than the branch networks of all banks and pawnshops combined.

“We are aggressively rolling out the MePay platform across more online merchants in the Philippines, as well as activating the ability to add more fund sources in the months to come,” Fernandez added.

To set up a MePay account, users only need to go to, enter any Philippine-based mobile number, and fill up the short registration form. A verification code will be sent to their mobile number to activate the account, after which they can immediately begin using their MePay accounts for online shopping.

And because it’s mobile-linked, MePay users are assured that every transaction is safe and secure because they will receive an SMS notification each time they do something with their account, such as when topping up or when using it to pay at e-Commerce sites.

All About The BiPAP Machine Treatment Of Sleep Apnea Using A BiPAP Machine

Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) machines are devices which can be useful for the therapy of sleep apnea. They’re also referred to as Variable Positive Airway Pressure (VPAP) machines. The important function of those devices would be to push air through the patients’ nostrils when they exhale, and also to restrain the air pressure. This guarantees that the suitable balance is preserved. The atmosphere driven down a patient’s airway is pressurized to stop throat tissues from failing. These apparatus are rather much like Constant Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, although they will have some fundamental attributes which make them a more attractive alternative to some patients. Benchmark Sleep Services provider of a good quality BiPAP machine in Australia.

How Can The Machine Function?

The device features a little pump which is fixed on the mouth of a patient using a mask. It tracks breath and controls the type of pressure for breathing in and outside desired with a patient. It’s a humidifier that helps in keeping skin across the nostrils damp. As it will not always help in breathing that is natural, it acts more. Nonetheless, it keeps by helping in man-made breathing, the lungs active.

The important difference between the CPAP machine and also a Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure machine is that the pressure can be controlled by the former. Pressure is lowered, when a patient breathes out. Pressure is raised when breathing in. Patients who changed to Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure machines and formerly used CPAP machines find it simpler to breathe. CPAP machines normally possess a constant administration of pressure making a patient feel uneasy.

The machines usually are used to deal with obstructive sleep apnea; but when coupled with other treatment choices, they become an excellent remedy for central sleep apnea. The disadvantage of the machines is patients might feel uncomfortable wearing the mask and the fact that their price is generally high. Because using the BiPAP makes them sleep throughout the night but these disadvantages are overlooked by most patients.

These sleep apnea treatment machines come with one of three forms of masks, which are:

  1. Nasal Mask – Such a mask is appropriate for individuals who have trouble sleeping. They’re suitable as they have been mobile to utilize.
  2. Oral Mask – This is a humidifier kind of mask, crucial for individuals who sleep using their mouths open. It can help keep the mouth area from drying
  3. Triangular Mask – This sort readily fits any face shape.

BiPAP Machines Have Three Major Functions:

  • Complete oxygenation within the body improves by helping in respiration.
  • Heart function of a patient improves.
  • In respiration, they reduce the exertion of your lungs.

Licensed physicians typically fix this kind of device. They ascertain the pressure which is necessary generally throughout the night time and to assist patient’s breath. Additionally, physicians can enable a patient when the patient experiences any difficulties together with the mask to prevent utilizing the mask. When you are given a prescription by your physician in case you are in need of it, you can buy the device.

At Standard Slumber Services we expressly deal with sleep disorders. Christian Rabatsch at Benchmark Sleep Services has varied experience coping with sleep disorders for several years.

Orthodontics has been beneficial both as an artwork, and many particularly as a science in the business of dentistry. Countless mouths are spared from prolonged discomfort. However, what is orthodontics, actually? And what particular roles does an orthodontist play which makes them stand out outside the ordinary dentist?

Orthodontics is a area of dentistry that focuses on The most important concern of orthodontics isn’t merely teeth, but on the mouth as a whole. These irregularities are rebuilt or repaired through particular mouth apparatus, with braces and retainers being the hottest.

The field of orthodontics, from the humble beginnings as place Of processes aiming to rebuild the mouth to check or fix mouth discomfort, has developed to a modern artwork that constantly adheres to make the best smile by enhancing the alignment of teeth, irrespective of the comfort already sensed by the individual.

Braces utilize a curved wire to pull and push misaligned teeth to particular instructions to “straighten” out the shape and location of the teeth. The conventional pull/push force (in the joint utility of both the brackets and wires) will essentially move the teeth with conventional 1mm proximity every month, based on either the orthodontist’s taste or the individual’s tolerance to pain. Individuals with recently installed braces are anticipated to display moderate to severe numbness and pain in the first couple weeks of getting their initial braces installed.

Recent improvements in technology have made these appliances more economical for the masses, which makes them a favorite option on both teens and adults who don’t wish to spend extra money on invisalign braces.

Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces, compared to metal braces, Use only composite substance with no sign of metallic ingredients. These types of braces are more costly and have a lesser “push/pull” force, when compared with metal braces. 1 clear advantage however, is that they seem aesthetically pleasing (occasionally even unnoticeable), because they may be tinted to mimic the teeth.

Those who have very nominal malocclusions. These types of braces are made from plastic, so that they do not stain and can also be unnoticeable such as ceramic braces. On the other hand, the purchase price of all Invisalign braces is rather hefty on the pocket, and shedding these means needing to pay for replacements. There are lots of instances with individuals dropping their Invisalign braces, on account of the simple fact that these may be removed in the teeth, including metal and ceramic braces, which are latched on to the teeth. Invisalign braces are currently becoming the most favored kind of braces by dentists in the Europe and the United States due to the same “push/pull” power with metal braces and as they’re easily detachable, so the patient’s eating habits aren’t compromised.

Assists you in making the proper choice in selecting your favorite kind of braces. It’s also critical that you adhere to the recommendation of your orthodontist in deciding upon the ideal orthodontic apparatus.

What Is The Best CPAP Mask?

The continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP therapy is normally recommended as treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. This treatment is recommended once you are diagnosed as suffering from sleep apnea. The diagnosis is made after you have gone through a sleep study. The study is able to determine the severity of your sleep apnea and the doctor can then write a prescription.

The prescription indicates the CPAP machine that you should use and the pressure settings of the machine. It also indicates that you should use a CPAP mask and the doctor may add a schedule for replacement of the mask.

What Is A CPAP mask?

In order to undergo CPAP therapy, you need a CPAP machine, a tube and a CPAP mask. The machine draws in air from the room and it passes through a filter. The air is then pressurized and the air is transmitted through a tube to the mask. You can breathe in the air by wearing a mask over your nose and mouth or over your nose only.

The masks are normally padded with a variety of materials including silicone, gel or cloth. The padded areas of the mask are those that come into contact with your skin so that you can get the comfort that you need. The masks come with a head strap which is fastened on the head in order to keep the mask in place during therapy. There is also an area in the mask that is designed to get rid of the air that you exhale during therapy.

Features Of The Full Face Mask

The full face mask covers your mouth and nose normally has supportive parts which are fitted on the forehead and the cheeks in order to create a good seal. This is the largest mask in terms of the contact it has with your skin. It is ideal if you typically breathe via the mouth when asleep. You may also find it comfortable to use if your doctor has recommended that you use a high pressure for your therapy.

Since this mask has a lot of contact with your skin, the possibility of air leakage is higher than the other masks. You should therefore ensure that you have a very good fit since air leakage reduces the effectiveness of the therapy. It is best to sleep on your back when using this mask as it tends to dislodge when you sleep on your side.

Nasal Mask

The nasal mask is worn over the nose and you should not breathe through your mouth when using this mask. The pressurized air from the tube is delivered into the space that is covered by the mask and you can then breathe it in. The pressurized air is therefore not delivered directly into your nostrils, which allows you to breathe in comfortably.

You can use this mask if you normally sleep on your side and if you toss a lot when asleep. You can use the nasal mask if you prefer to read or watch television in bed since it does not obstruct your vision.

Nasal Pillow

The nasal pillow is fitted at the edge of your nostrils and creates a very good seal. It is the smallest CPAP mask and is perfect if you are claustrophobic.

Travels and a Baby Something

Comments Off on Travels and a Baby Something

Baby Belly

Baby Girl or Baby Boy?

Before we flew to the States in July, we had our 19 week checkup with the doctor. She spent a few minutes examining our baby and then said, “Well, I see no penis.” So we think that means we’re having a GIRL!!! Our excitement for baby girl continues to grow as she does. We’re feeling, and sometimes seeing, her move all the time now. As we think through name options, we’re quite fond of the meanings “wished for child” and “my God is gracious.”

Over the next few weeks, we are taking an intensive class on the Bradley method of childbirth, also called the husband-coached method. This is usually a 12 week class, but we’re trying to fit in as many sessions as we can before returning to Germany mid-August.

No. 4 women’s soccer keeps on winning

(Photo courtesy of the sports information desk)

It would seem as though the women’s soccer team could not possibly get any better. Yet, they are relentless and improve on their remarkable season in ways you could not imagine. How can you perfect perfection? These Lions seem to know how.

The team plays with a kind of confidence that was not there last year — a new kind of spark that propels them each week to better themelves and bring home victories for the College.

This past week, the Lions triumphed in both of their games, scoring the most goals they have had thus far in the season.

The Lions took on FDU-Florham earlier in the week and outscored the Devils 4-1. The game began with both teams exhibiting great defense, holding off any goals until junior forward Leigh Applestein scored late in the first half, giving the Lions their first goal.

The Lions scored again in the second half when junior defense Jordan Downs scored on a penalty kick, boosting the Lions’ lead to 2-0. Only seven minutes later, senior midfield Sloan DePiero contributed a goal, assisted by freshman defense Brianna Petro, and upped the score to 3-0. The Lions’ defense was putting up a fantastic fight, holding off the Devils’ offense perfectly.

With 9:58 left in the game, the Lions scored once more. This time, it was freshman forward Chalen Noble, assisted by freshman midfield Lauren Malajian.  This was Noble’s first collegiate goal for the team.

It was not until the last few minutes of the game when the Devils scored and took the shutout away from the Lions, but there was not enough time on the clock for any more damage to be done. The Lions pulled out the 4-1 victory easily.

It is not hard to see the motivation these players have on and off of the field.

“This season is going really well so far,” junior forward Korrie Harkins said. “The team has become very close over the past month together, and we are all extremely focused on succeeding during the season.”

This team is continually positive and continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the New Jersey Athletic Conference.

On Saturday, Sept. 21, the Lions took on Ramapo College and completely ousted the Roadrunners 5-0. Downs led the team with incredible offense. Five different players scored the five goals — a season high.

The first came from Applestein, her fourth goal of the season. Soon after, DePiero, senior forward Katie Lindacher, freshman forward Christine Levering and junior forward Gina Caprara all scored as well, giving the Lions their highest win of the season.

Their defense was truly the best it has been all season.  The shutout was the combined effort of goalkeepers Kendra Griffith, Cristina Gacos and Jessica Weeder.

However, the team knows there is still a lot more work to come in their hunt for the NJAC title.

“We cannot get comfortable,” Lindacher said. “Especially with the NJAC games coming up. We just have to keep working and keep fighting for a win every game.”

This week, the Lions take on Stockton College at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Motorsport Industry Association – Recommended Training Provider. We’re really pleased to report that the Academy of Motorsport Sciences has just been recognised as being one of only four officially Recommended Motorsport Industry Training Providers by the Motorsport Industry Association! The other three providers are in “soft” industries such as sales and management.
This is quite an accolade and dove-tails nicely with our other strategic partners such as the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI), Ford Motor Co Dunton Research & Development Centre, Northbook College etc.
You can read more about the Academy and the training courses in engine management systems and dyno tuning here

The Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) is the world’s leading trade association for the motorsport, performance engineering, services and tuning sectors. The MIA represents the specialised needs of this highly successful global industry as it undergoes continuing rapid development throughout the world.

In April 1994, leading personalities in British motorsport joined forces to form their own trade association – the MIA – with the aim of promoting one of the UK’s most successful industries – motorsport. The original concept was proposed by Founder and original CEO, Brian Sims, with the first Executive Committee comprising Rob Baldock (Accenture); Dick Scammel (Cosworth);Tony Schulp (Haymarket); John Kirkpatrick (Jim Russell Racing Drivers School); Tony Panaro (Euro Northern Travel) and Tony Fletcher (Premier Fuels).

Rob Baldock became Chairman – a post he held for many years, whilst John Kirkpatrick has successfully remained on the annually elected committee since inception, thereby helping to maintain an element of continuity in the MIA’s governance. Lord Astor of Hever DL accepted the invitation to become Honorary President in 1996. To read the original papers announcing the launch of the MIA please click here. Lord Astor stepped down from the role upon his appointment as a Defence Minister in the new UK Government in 2010, following 14 years of outstanding leadership and diplomacy on behalf of the motorsport industry.
Right Honourable The Lord Drayson of Kensington accepted the invitation from members to become the new Honorary President in January 2011. Lord Drayson brings a unique range of business, motorsport and Parliamentary experience to the MIA, having been a working peer in the UK Parliament since 2004, and managing partner of Drayson Racing.  To read the press release on the announcement of Lord Drayson as Honorary President, click here.
The MIA has embraced an ever-expanding international network of business contacts, the result being that today it boasts nearly 400 Global members, whose companies transact more than £5 billion of motorsport business worldwide.

The MIA:

  • Helps its members to grow their businesses and increase their profitability
  • Raises and maintains a positive profile for the motorsport industry and, when necessary, speaks for the sector as a whole
  • Works with the British and European Parliaments to secure support which ensures the sector has a sound, long-term role within the economy
  • Maintains a close, well-informed dialogue with UK politicians via the All Party Motor Group of which the MIA is joint secretary
  • Works with UK Regional Development Authorities to promote their regions and their motorsport industry development

  • Organises Technology Transfer conferences and events – aiding cross-sector interaction between Motorsport and the Defence, Marine and Aerospace industries
  • Organises relevant, cost effective, events to improve knowledge of critical issues
  • Provides sources of research for industry to discover new markets and develop fresh opportunities
  • Promotes and encourages energy efficient technologies in motorsport through the MIA’s ‘Cleaner Racing’ initiative, first conceived in 2001
  • Works with government agencies in the UK and around the world to develop international trade and motorsport investment

The MIA enjoys membership of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), in turn providing members access to the UK’s “Voice of Industry”.

Just One Lousy Improper Shutdown

Last night I forgot to attach back the AC power cord of the laptop and had left it on all night running Ktorrent and amule, so obviously all the battery drained out and next morning, the laptop’s backlight dimmed out everytime I reached the grub so I could not see what was on the screen, but what’s more was that I got a press Ctrl + D to continue or give root password for maintence and also message about it not being able to read the superblock.

Hunter helped me around, we did the fsck, changed the UUID in menu.lst and fstab, nothing worked. So I had to reinstall, this is the 2nd reinstall Ive done in just 2 days, I can’t help but believe that am cursed about being stable with linux.

Although since /home being on a different partition, I don’t have to worry about losing out on settings, I also set up a /usr this time, so I won’t lose out on the applications.

Pulseaudio, NFS and Other shit

Before I successfully fix something, there comes a post where I whine, you’ve been warned.

With every new distro I have strange quests to achieve, with OpenSUSE I was hellbent on getting VIA to work, with Laptop running Mandriva I have new mission in life: Using the Desktop’s soundcard remotely to output audio being played on laptop.

Now twisted but simple as it sounds, Hunter helped me fix the shorewall (Mandriva’s inbuilt firewall) to mount the music directory via NFS, but like always, it’s this one question he asks me in the end, that brings the whole deal crumbling down, apparently NFS can’t mount NTFS partitions.

Then I dived into configuring SAMBA, successful, file transfers and access work but then a ssh’d amarok from my laptop don’t play local files, neither the other way around, installing xine-smb also didn’t help, nor did the Amarok XUL remote script, it even had a bug that I won’t bother to report.

Then out of exasperation, I googled “remotely use soundcard”, I came across an article that talked about something similar, I knew pulseaudio could do what i wanted it to, but how? what commands? where’s the frickin GUI?

The pulseaudio wiki is hopeless for somewhat-intermediate users like me, I stormed into their IRC chatroom, the first nick that responded told me about loading modules… he didn’t tell me how to.

Just when i left the window inactive and got to look at facebook, another kind soul told me about a GTK application called Padevchooser. DAMN, bless that soul! I had music playing on the desktop’s soundcard in less than 2mins.

      « Megaupload White Paper | Main | Megaupload Submits Brief Arguing Due Process Violations and Requesting Dismissal »

      DOJ flip flops in Megaupload case: argues one thing to the Court and the opposite to the federal rules committee

      Megaupload filed in Federal Court today in the Eastern District of Virginia a Request for Judicial Notice that demonstrates the US Department of Justice advised the Megaupload Court that a foreign corporation did not need a US mailing address for proper service of a criminal indictment while on the other hand advising the Federal Rules Committee of the opposite view in order to change the law. Please see a summary of the submissions below.

      Specially appearing Defendant Megaupload Limited (“Megaupload”) respectfully requests that the Court take judicial notice pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 201 of a letter submitted by the United States Department of Justice to the Advisory Committee on the Criminal Rules, recommending amendments to Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure “to permit the effective service of a summons on a foreign organization that has no agent or principal place of business within the United States.”  (See Letter from Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer to the Honorable Reena Raggi, Chair, Advisory Committee on the Criminal Rules, dated October 25, 2012, a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.)  Specifically, the Government asks the Advisory Committee to “remove the requirement that a copy of the summons be sent to the organization’s last known mailing address within the district or principal place of business within the United States,” and to amend the Rule to “provide the means to serve a summons upon an organization located outside the United States.”  (Id.)  In doing so, the Government implicitly acknowledges that it cannot properly serve Megaupload—a Hong Kong corporation with no U.S. agent or office—under the existing Rule.

      The Government’s letter is directly relevant to the Court’s consideration of Megaupload’s pending motion to dismiss without prejudice (Dkt. 146) as it contradicts the Government’s repeated contention that it can validly serve Megaupload—a wholly foreign entity that has never had an office in the United States—without complying with Rule 4’s mailing requirement.  To the contrary, the Government explicitly acknowledges in the letter that it has a “duty” under the current Rule to mail a copy of the summons to a corporate defendant’s last known address within the district or to its principal place of business elsewhere in the United States.  (See Exhibit 1 at 2.)  Moreover, by seeking to have the mailing requirement eliminated, the Government implicitly admits it cannot validly serve Megaupload consistent with Rule 4 as currently written.

      The Government’s letter to the Advisory Committee thus confirms what Megaupload has argued all along—that the Government indicted Megaupload, branded it a criminal, froze every penny of its assets, took its servers offline, and inflicted a corporate death penalty, notwithstanding the fact that the Government had no prospect of serving the company in accordance with current law.  Megaupload should not be made to bear the burdens of criminal limbo while the Government seeks to rewrite the Federal Rules to suit its purposes.

Meet the ad-free, user-supported music service that wants to take on Pandora

It would be great if the app included a set-up guide, as you're really thrown in to figuring out how to craft a station, not to perform most functions.

We'd have also liked if the subgenres provided examples of what kind of songs and artists would be found in each. Perhaps someone with more musical know-how than us would have an easier time of it, but we thought it would helpful to know what songs we could expect in more ambiguous categories.

The Curated Genres doesn't lack for songs, but perhaps this is where Radical's 25 million figure comes into play. Search for Don't Stop Believin' and your confronted with just about every cover there is of the Journey classic.

All said, as with many apps, once we got the hang of it Radical.FM got a lot more enjoyable. There were glitches to be sure (McAlevey noted the app wasn't perfect when we spoke) but it was reassuring to sit back and know a modern indie rock song wouldn't pop up in between Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin.

If you like that kind of thing, however, you can add that genre to your station, giving it as much value as you like. It's in this control, customization and option to subtract or add that Radical.FM stands a chance of succeeding beyond a few birthday bumps.

Taking on giants

Radical.FM is entering a crowded field - not only does Pandora alone boast 200 million registered listeners, but the likes of Spotify, iTunes Radio, Google Music, Rdio and are all jostling for users.

McAlevey doesn't seem phased.

"By the end of the year, we'll have a two-year leap on the industry," he said. "Pandora and Spotify, they're big battle ships, and it take a while for them to do turns, but we're small and quick. We have a cutting edge platform, we're using almost bleeding-edge technologies."

"Let's not underestimate the competition," he added. "Don't think I don't think Pandora is a pretty good service, but it's an old monster. Picking your songs through a computer program, that was hot once upon a time, but it's not the way to generate a great playlist now."

Custom Genres

Pandora utilizes the Music Genome Project to analyze songs based on 400 attributes, organize them according to a mathematical algorithm and plays tracks based on users' determined preferences.

Pandora is of course a familiar, typically seamless service, and offers an ad-free option through Pandora One. A company spokeswoman informed us its library has over one million songs, and Spotify told us its library consists of over 20 million tracks.

Radical.FM beats them both with 25 million, but the proof will be in how easily users are able to find what they're looking for, whether human-crafted genres and Curated Genres really satisfy listening needs and if the service can survive without ads. Oh, and if it can fix all those glitches. That'll be a big one.

'With your help...'

The journey to get to this iOS app has been an unconventional one, to say the least.

After founding and selling Sweden's immensely popular Bandit Rock radio station, creating the "far ahead of its time" and now-defunct and trekking across Africa in a red beach buggy, Radical.FM is a sort of amalgamation of these experiences for McAlevey.

Ad-free access to a large music collection is part of it, but so is the app's "pay-what-you-can" funding structure.

"Everybody should have the right to great music," McAlevey mused. "We give you a really, really nice experience, and if you can send us a few bucks when you can, great. We believe this will work very well, but then again, it's never been tested before."

"People don't want to be as cynical as they have become," he added, recounting his experience trekking dangerous swaths of Africa, only to encounter men with AK-47s who wanted nothing more than help him on his journey.

McAlevey drove through Africa in the early 2000s

Radical.FM is focused on paying artists, composers and labels at rates "identical to what everyone else pays," he said, and to keep those people compensated and its own doors open users will see and hear prompts to donate. In using the app for about an hour and a half, we only had one interruption for a donation pitch.

It's a dreamy proposition, but McAlevey is convinced donations will work and keep Radical.FM growing beyond today's app.

An Android app should arrive in a matter of weeks, with a web client a few weeks after. With a desktop version, will include "all typical" sharing features, plus RadCasting and TALK, but at launch the iOS app is more limited to ensure users understand the basic music radio service first.

As for growing beyond the U.S., he said Radical will expand with label music as licensing deals are secured, with the U.K. and Australia high on the company's list. Even more interesting (according to McAlevey) will be the launch on all platforms worldwide of an indie music offering this fall.

As of Day One, Radical.FM has a long way to go to topple the likes of Pandora, but it's a challenge McAlevey seems to relish taking on.

"I've never gotten into a bar fight with someone smaller than me," he said.

Benchtest: Windows XP SP3 vs. Windows Vista SP1

Vista logo

What's the point of Windows Vista? Worryingly for Microsoft, the increasing consensus among savvy consumers is that it offers little or no benefit.

The slicker-looking interface aside, all you get is a wide range of drawbacks, including sluggish performance, painful hardware demands, patchy software support and irritating but ineffectual security measures such as the infuriating User Account Control feature. Leaner, simpler Windows XP remains the best operating system for home users in that context.

Of more immediate relevance, especially to PC enthusiasts, is the release of new service packs for both Windows XP and Windows Vista. The former indicates that Microsoft realises that Windows Vista is so off target it may never reach truly widespread acceptance and hence support for Windows XP must continue. The latter, meanwhile, is probably Microsoft's last chance to salvage the crumbling reputation of Windows Vista.

> Jump to our overall verdict and performance results

Windows XP SP3: the features

Historic upgrades: said to be the last major service pack for Windows XP, SP3 brings your installation fully up to date with all historical upgrades, although it does require an SP1 installation as a minimum starting point. SP3 includes a number of incremental post-SP2 upgrades and patches, too, such as the latest WPA2 wireless networking security protocol, and also delivers a few unique features.

That said, cosmetically it's essentially identical to SP2. Installation requires around 20 minutes depending on the precise hardware configuration.

Security upgrades: the key additions for Windows XP SP3 involve the age-old Windows bugbear: security. First up is Network Access Protection (NAP), a feature already present in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

To put it at its simplest, it's all about giving network administrators a straightforward way in which to validate the health, in security terms, of a system connecting to a given network. This new feature also allows for automatic "push" updates onto connected systems with a view to preventing them from turning nasty.

Next up is an improved cryptographic module, including the random number generator. This addresses a specific weakness that made encryption keys generated by Windows XP theoretically vulnerable to exploitation. More expansive description text can also be found in the options' dialog boxes.

Licensing: Finally, with SP3 Microsoft has brought Windows XP into line with Windows Vista in terms of product activation and license key management. As with Windows Vista, a Windows XP installation disk with SP3 included will allow users to install and run the operating system for 30 days without inputting a license key. Overall, it's hardly a show-stopping list of enhancements. but then Windows XP is a mature and relatively well-developed OS.

What you don't get: still, what SP3 notably doesn't do is tread on the toes of Windows Vista. There's no updates to the ancient user interface or addition of Vista-only features such as the DirectX 10 API. Microsoft may be learning lessons from the troubled Vista launch, but it clearly hasn't given up on its latest OS yet.

Windows XP SP3: the performance

Performance-wise, Windows XP in SP2 trim is already pretty lean and mean by Microsoft's standards, so users shouldn't be expecting dramatic improvements from the latest service pack.

Indeed, Microsoft itself makes no claims regarding performance, and our results shown at the end tend to confirm that. For the most part, performance across a wide range of tasks - including file transfers to and from various devices, encoding, rendering and gaming - is essentially identical to SP2. Likewise, as with previous builds of Windows XP, SP3 is pretty easy going in terms of hardware support: it zips along at a decent lick even on extremely modest systems.

Samsung UE46D8000 review

Samsung's 3D LED TV justifies its premium tag

TODO alt text

Samsung ue46d8000

From the moment you first lay eyes on it, the UE46D8000 is a very special TV. The thin bezel, super-slim profile and gorgeous silver stand make it an absolute stunner design-wise. But its feature list is equally attractive, offering the latest mod cons like network media streaming and Smart Hub, as well as support for 3D, external HDD recording and multimedia formats.

But there's substance behind the style too. In terms of picture quality it may not boast the direct LED backlighting of its higher-end brethren, but deploys its edge LEDs to devastating effect, bringing yousharp, nuanced and deep hi-def pictures with both 2D and 3D material.

We liked

There are few TVs that can match the UE46D8000's level of aesthetic exuberance – its drop-dead gorgeous design will make it a real talking point in your living room. Smart Hub provides a hugely generous range of apps in a slick, attractive interface, while the rest of the network capabilities are nicely integrated.

Add generous connections, built-in Wi-Fi, extensive multimedia support, 2D-to-3D conversion and you've got a set that many brands would call their flagship. And in terms of operation, it's as if Samsung designed this set for a child, but jazzed up the GUI for adults.

The set's 2D pictures are excellent by LED standards, offering inherently bright, vibrant pictures teeming with clean, sharp detail and subtly rendered colours. And apart from a few instances of crosstalk, 3D images are stunning.

We disliked

Some crosstalk is noticeable with 3D pictures, and Freeview SD pictures don't dazzle in quite the same way as HD with some noise issues and slightly unnatural colours.

The web browser is a chore to use with the remote, and although it's better than some flatpanel TVs, the sound system's lack of bass makes sound quality unbalanced.

Final verdict

With stunning looks, a hugely generous feature list and largely knockout picture quality, the UE46D8000 is a premium TV in every sense of the word, and easily justifies its asking price.

In fact, the presence of the brilliant Smart Hub alone might be enough to make some whip out the credit card. Its few flaws are nowhere near grave enough to mar your enjoyment, making this Series 8 set an unmitigated success.

When Nokia announced the Lumia 2520 back in October, it was hard to see past the fact that it would run Windows RT. Unfortunately, despite a number of excellent features - from its near 11-hour battery life to one-hour charging, decent speakers and excellent outdoor readability - the fact that you just can't do much with it in the absence of useful apps or legacy desktop programs means that it's difficult to recommend.

We Liked

First the good: the Nokia Lumia 2520 has set the gold standard for tablets to aspire to when it comes to battery life, going the distance and powering up quickly when asked.

It also features a mighty impressive IPS display that, despite not being the highest resolution out there, is fantastic for reading outdoors and really brings Windows 8.1 RT's vivid colors to life. Holding the tablet is a joy too, its curved dimensions smooth to touch without coming across as poorly constructed, even if it feels a little unevenly balanced at times.

It could be something of a killer games machine too - so long as you stick to the ones from the Windows RT 8.1 Store. Our benchmarks served up Surface 2-beating numbers, meaning there isn't really any contest between the two if light gaming and battery life are at the top of your list.

That decent performance extends to other areas of the tablet - anything you do from opening and switching between apps using the OS's charm menus - is seamless and stutter free.

We didn't like

Windows RT, Windows RT, Windows RT. We can't say it enough: it was always a massive gamble opting for the much-maligned operating system, and it's one that simply hasn't paid off.

It's difficult to deny that the Lumia 2520's hardware impresses, but once that sheen has worn off, there's little underneath to keep you returning for more at this moment in time. Unless you use the Lumia 2520 for one or two specific purposes - whether that's browsing websites in Internet Explorer 11 or typing up documents in Word - there's simply not much to do with it.

And even if you're only planning to use the Lumia 2520 as a casual content consumption device, you're sure to be irked by its lack of a kickstand and full-sized USB port. Splashing out on a pricey Power Cover is even more of a must than buying a keyboard cover was for a Surface 2 (you could use a wired keyboard with its built-in USB if you was desperate), which drastically limits the Lumia 2520's appeal as a pick-up-and-go device.

The bottom line goes like this: if the Lumia 2520 ran full-fat Windows 8 and added a kickstand, we would be looking at the most compelling Windows 8 tablet ever.

But it doesn't, so we're stuck with one featuring a half-baked operating system that benefits from some incredibly nifty and unique features while taking away ones that seem incredibly simplistic and even taken for granted these days (kickstand, we're looking at you).

Microsoft's Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets suffered from something of an identity crisis, so the company didn't hold back when offering configurations and accessories en mass.

I feel like the Nokia 2520 should have done the same to avoid becoming the watered down, lightweight offering that it has. Compromises have been made in the wrong areas, and the overall package is much less appealing as a result.

I'd love to see a tablet outed that's halfway between a Surface Pro 2 and a Nokia 2520 - one with outstanding battery life and charge times, a vibrant bright screen and a playful polycarbonate shell. Of course, it would have to run Windows 8.1 and have a kickstand too.

Come on, Microsoft. Give Nokia a pop at a successor and show us what it's really capable of.

Hands on: Archos 50c Oxygen review

Breathe, breathe in the air

What is a hands on review?
TODO alt text

  • Good price
  • microSD
  • Speedy octa-core

  • Jut 1GB of RAM
  • Fingerprint lover

Archos has been hitting MWC 2014 headlines for a certain unfortunate event involving a water-resistant phone demo and a misunderstanding of IP ratings, but it's brought a lot of positives to Barcelona too.

The Archos 50c Oxygen is one of them. A mid-range handset with a pleasant list of specs, the Oxygen gets a dose of Archos' favourite matt black finish. And at just 7.6mm thin, it also deserves a hats-off for keeping things compact.

Ok, so it's not the most inviting handset out there, but what Archos misses in flare it makes up for in price - the 50c Oxygen will retail for less than £200 ($200, around AU$223), which is pretty decent for this mid-ranger.

The rest of the spec sheet is also decent for a middle-of-the-road phone. The 5-inch 1280x720 resolution display with its 293 ppi showed colours vibrantly during our test, but it also loves fingerprints.

Seriously, it can't get enough - and we needed to give it a fair few wipe-downs during our hands on session.

Crack the phone open and you'll find a speedy octa-core 1.7GHz processor inside but that's paired with just 1GB of RAM.

While we found Android ran pleasingly smooth during our hands on thanks to those eight cores, we expect that over longer, more intensive use the 1GB may show its cracks.

The 8GB of internal storage is standard for a mid-range phone, but Archos is letting us bulk that up with microSD, which we're very thankful for.

All other things considered, it feels like this should come with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. Instead it will be running 4.3 for the time being, and no one was able to tell us whether we might see a chocolatey update in the future.

Flip the Oxygen over you've got a 8MP camera capable of shooting 1080p video, while it's a 2MP job on the front.

The screen was rich enough to show off the good quality of the pictures, helped by Archos's improved camera app.

Plus, the rear LED flash will help bring those low-light photos to life, making the Oxygen a pretty decent mid-range cameraphone.

Early verdict

The Archos 50c Oxygen is a box-ticker. There's no defining feature to make it stand out from the crowd, but it's got enough going for it to make it a strong mid-range competitor. The affordable price tag should only help strengthen that position.

What is a hands on review?

'Hands on reviews' are a journalist's first impressions of a piece of kit based on spending some time with it. It may be just a few moments, or a few hours. The important thing is we have been able to play with it ourselves and can give you some sense of what it's like to use, even if it's only an embryonic view.

nokia n97 mini

With the keyboard out, the angled screen position is great for viewing video when the phone's sitting on your desk or lap.

The display is large enough for a reasonable video-viewing experience, and playback looks smooth and bright on the display. It supports downloaded or streamed video, so you can watch footage online or get clips from compatible services downloaded to your phone.

Nokia aggregates video content in a Video & TV sub-menu folder; within this you can get onto Nokia's Ovi video service and find some free and paid-for content, including clips and movie trailers - though it's not a particularly compelling offering at the moment.

A RealPlayer app is standard Nseries fare. Unlike some handsets from the likes of Samsung, DivX and Xvid video formats are not supported on this handset.

While the N97 Mini's internal storage has been scaled back from the original N97's 32GB, it still has 8GB worth of space for loading videos, tunes and other content.

nokia n97 mini

The music player looks typically Nokia Nseries, and regular MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC, and eAAC+ files can be played, with the phones music library arranged as a familiar list of categories. These are automatically refreshed if you slip in a new card or load up more tunes.

Nokia hasn't introduced any eye-catching iPhone-esque gadgetry or graphics for the music player presentation - it's a fairly straightforward user interface. Cover art is supported, and it has intuitive, functional touch buttons and draggable timeline. Additional options are available for equaliser and settings adjustment - all standard issue stuff.

nokia n97 mini

The N97 Mini's audio performance is really pleasing to the ears. The supplied earphones are better quality than you normally get with a mobile (or iPod) - they're in-ear buds which come with alternative silicon gels to ensure a snug fit.

Music sounds rich and detailed through them, with a well-balanced frequency range including a heavy but well defined bass presence. The phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack socket on top, should you wish to try out your own headphones, though the in-box set are pretty good for a standard set of ear-gear.

The N97 Mini cuts one of the features from the N97's music functionality though - there's no FM transmitter on this model to play tracks back on nearby radios.

On top of your sideloaded tracks, Nokia offers a facility to buy tunes over the air from its Nokia Music Store portal, with an app in the music folder directing you there. An easy to tune and operate FM radio with RDS is featured too.

A familiar S60 Podcasting function adds to the listening package. It enables users to search for, subscribe to and listen to podcasts from the handset. A Podcast option is also included in the Music Library categories.

As mentioned earlier, the N97 Mini has a selection of online media apps pre-loaded into its Applications folder, giving access to services including YouTube and CNN Video's news service. Mobile network video services will also be supported on suitably configured handsets from operators.

Without Friendship

December 1, 2008
Without Friendship

Without friendship is like a day with out sun.
When you don’t have any friends to play with life is no fun.
A world without twosome would be a world with tiresome.
And if you don’t have any friends at all
You need to go out and look for some.
The world is full of lonely people
That would love to have someone to mingle.

Without friendship the sky is dark and gloomy.
The world’s society would be left cold and melancholy.
No laughs and no cries,
Just the absence of joy
And the silence of hollowed spirits.

A new beginning

December 4, 2008
You were once my main focus. I thought you love me for who I was, but now I see it was only a mere dream. You liked me because of my money, car, beauty, and all the shiny jewelry I liked to wear. You told me that I was your one and only and that I could have whatever I liked. We were like Bonnie and Claude, Peanut butter
