Google unveiled a brand new self-driving car prototype on Tuesday; the first company to build a car with no a steering wheel, accelerator or brake pedal.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The car's arrival marks the next stage in Google’s self-driving car project, which was born from the Darpa Grand Challenges for robotic vehicles in the early 2000s. Google kickstarted its own self-driving car project in 2008, and it has been rumbling on ever since, first with modified Toyota Prius and then with customised Lexus SUVs, which took the car’s existing sensors, such as the cruise-control cameras, and added a spinning laser scanner on the top.</div>

It is the first truly driverless electric car prototype built by Google to test the next stage of its five-year-old self-driving car project. It looks like a cross between a Smart car and a Nissan Micra, with two seats and room enough for a small amount of luggage.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
It is the first real physical incarnation of Google’s vision of what a self-driving car of the near future could be.</div>

<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Where is it?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
It operates in and around California, primarily around the Mountain View area where Google has its headquarters.<br style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></b></div>

<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What does it do?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
It ferries two people from one place to another without any user interaction. The car is summoned by a smartphone for pick up at the user’s location with the destination set. There is no steering wheel or manual control, simply a start button and a big red emergency stop button. In front of the passengers there is a small screen showing the weather, the current speed and a small countdown animation to launch.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Once the journey is done, the small screen displays a message to remind you to take your personal belongings – reinforcing that this is not aiming to be a substitute for your personal car at the moment, but more as a replacement for the taxi without the human driver.</div>

Very few people outside of Google have been allowed to ride in the new car. Most of the people depicted in Google’s promotional videos for the new car described the experience as “smooth” and “nothing that feels the least bit threatening”.<br style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></b></div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Kara Swisher and Liz Gannes from technology site Recode <a href="http://recode.net/2014/05/27/a-joy-ride-in-googles-new-self-driving-clown-car-video/" style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; color: #005689; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">were one of the few independent test riders</a>, who described the car as having “ample” room despite being small, likely due to the lack of the normal controls taking up space in the cabin, and "that this felt a lot like a theme park ride".</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Who built it?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Google has designed the car from scratch, starting with the sensors and a frame to interconnect them, then adding a cabin that does not block any of the sensors or create blind spots and eventually the body shell. The manufacturing of the 100 or so prototype cars will be done by a firm in the Detroit area, but Google declined to comment on which.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How does it work?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Powered by an electric motor with around a 100 mile range, the car uses a combination of sensors and software to locate itself in the real world combined with highly accurate digital maps. A GPS is used, just like the satellite navigation systems in most cars, to get a rough location of the car, at which point radar, lasers and cameras take over to monitor the world around the car, 360-degrees.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The software can recognise objects, people, cars, road marking, signs and traffic lights, obeying the rules of the road and allowing for multiple unpredictable hazards, including cyclists. It can even detect road works and safely navigate around them.</div>

Photograph: Google</figcaption></figure><div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The new prototype has more sensors fitted to it that can see further (up to 600 feet in all directions) and in greater detail than the ones available on the previous repurposed Lexus and Toyota vehicles.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How safe is it?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The new car is the next evolution of Google’s self-driving car. While the new frame is untested, the company’s previous versions have clocked up over 700,000 miles of testing on public roads, mainly around California, including over 1,000 miles of driving in the most complex situations and cities like San Francisco’s hills and busy streets.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The car itself is limited to 25 mph, which restricts it to certain roads, but also minimises the kinetic energy it could carry into a crash if one should happen. The front of the car is also made to be as kind to pedestrians as possible with a foam bumper and a flexible windscreen that is designed to absorb energy from an impact with a person’s body.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Seat belts are also provided – a safety requirement for vehicles on the road – while the car has redundant systems, a “fault-tolerant architecture” as Google calls it, for both steering and braking, should the primary systems fails; plus that emergency stop button that passengers can hit at any time.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Google has also taken the data and behaviours it learned from its previous vehicles to create a defensive, considerate driving style that is meant to protect both the passengers and other road users. For instance, the car will wait a second after the traffic lights turn green before it moves off, although this could incur the anger of drivers stuck behind it.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Google also says that making it drive in a natural and predictable way has been one of the key goals, so that it behaves in a familiar way on the road for other drivers.</div>

<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Why now?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Google says it has gone as far as it can with the current customised vehicles and that a new platform is needed to take the project and technology to the next step and closer to a product people can actually use.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
For instance, the previous generation Lexus vehicle had blind spots right up against the car where the sensors couldn’t see, something that needs to be eliminated in any vehicle open to the public.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The cars will first be used to test the software driving the car and push its capabilities. Google says at some point, when it deems its software safe, it will start putting real people into the cars beyond Google engineers. It will use the cars in a similar manner to the company’s Google Glass explorer programme, analysing how people use them and what works and what doesn’t.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Why do damn cute?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The car’s cute looks and friendly “face” were created intentionally to be “very Googley” according to its designers, to put both other road users and passengers at ease with the new technology. The shell is also designed to give the sensors the best view of the surroundings.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
Why does it still look like a car on the inside?</h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
The new car has two traditional car seats, primarily because in this iteration passengers have to be strapped in like they would in any other car to meet safety regulations, which means using standard seat belts. It also provides a more familiar passenger experience, which at this stage is likely important to aid adoption.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Is this something I’m going to be able to buy?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Google’s vision for this kind of self-driving car isn’t an exact replacement for the one parked outside your home. They are designed to be more like shared vehicles, possibly within a family or more likely as a replacement for taxis.</div>

These cars are still very much in the early prototype stage still, and Google is still trying to figure out how to make a product out of the technology, how much it is likely to cost and when it will be available.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Apparently it will not have ads according to Google, although whether it’ll eventually have a small screen like some taxis now that plays video adverts, who knows. That will likely be up to the operator rather than Google.</div>

<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Google is proving the technology, but it is unlikely to make the cars for sale once that technology is ready for the mass market. It has said in the past that it is actively seeking car manufacturing partners, which means we could see a Toyota, Ford or Fiat-made Google car in the future, but that is all very much still up in the air.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">When can I get one?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Google says the cars should be road-ready by early next year, but that testing would take more than two years. At that point the technology will be ready for the next stage, which is likely to be greater pilot testing.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
Current expectations are that these self-driving cars are at least five years away from being mature enough to create a real, non-prototype product, but it may be far longer until you can buy or hire one for personal use.</div>
<h2 style="background-position: 0% 100%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: rgb(153, 153, 153); border-top-style: dotted; border-top-width: 1px; clear: left; font-size: 1em; line-height: 17px; margin: 20px 0px 10px; padding: 2px 0px;">
<b style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What about legislation?</b></h2>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
One of the biggest hold-ups to the progression of the technology onto the open road of Britain, the US, Australia and the rest of the world will be legislation.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
A law was passed in California over a year ago that made the testing and operation of self-driving vehicles on roads possible, as long as they had manual override controls. The Department of Motor Vehicles in California is expected to issue regulations on the operation of self-driving cars soon, after which self-driving cars may become a bit more common place.</div>
<div style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 13px; padding: 0px;">
However, there is still much to work out, primarily revolving around what a passenger in a self-driving car and can’t do – will they have to be able to take control at any moment, for instance – as well as questions around what happens when an accident happens, who is at fault and who pays.</div>

LONDON (Reuters) - Saudi billionaire <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1370616782488_1" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;">Prince Alwaleed</span> bin Talal has sued <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1370616782488_2" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;">Forbes magazine</span> for libel in a British court, alleging its valuation of his wealth at $20 billion was short of the mark by $9.6 billion, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported on Friday.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The prince, a grandson of Saudi Arabia's founder and nephew of King Abdullah, had attacked the U.S. magazine's ranking of world billionaires as flawed and biased against Middle Eastern businesses after he was ranked number 26 in this year's list.</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_22_1370635078856_212" style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
An official at the High Court in <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1370616782488_5" style="cursor: pointer;">London</span> confirmed that <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1370616782488_3" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;">Prince Alwaleed</span> had filed a defamation suit against Forbes, its editor Randall Lane, and two of its journalists on April 30. Details of the claim were not immediately available.</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_22_1370635078856_219" style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Through his <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1370616782488_7" style="cursor: pointer;">Kingdom Holding Company</span>, Prince Alwaleed owns large stakes in Citigroup, <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1370616782488_9" style="cursor: pointer;">News Corp</span>and <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1370616782488_8" style="cursor: pointer;">Apple Inc</span>, among other companies. He is also owner or part-owner of luxury hotels including the Plaza in New York, the Savoy in London and the George V in Paris.</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_22_1370635078856_214" style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This year's Forbes World Billionaires list was published on March 4, and the following day <span class="yshortcuts cs4-visible" id="lw_1370616782488_4" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(54, 99, 136); border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 2px; color: #366388; cursor: pointer;">Kingdom Holding</span> said the valuation process used "incorrect data" and "seemed designed to disadvantage Middle Eastern investors and institutions".</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The public spat attracted a lot of comment, but Forbes stuck by its estimate of Prince Alwaleed's wealth and published an in-depth article in its March 25 issue entitled "Prince Alwaleed and the curious case of Kingdom Holding stock".</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The article gave details about how Forbes had arrived at the figure of $20 billion and criticized what it described as a lack of transparency by Kingdom Holding in detailing its assets.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The article also described Prince Alwaleed's marble-filled, 420-room Riyadh palace, his private Boeing 747 equipped with a throne, and his 120-acre resort on the edge of the Saudi capital with five homes, five artificial lakes and a mini-Grand Canyon.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The High Court official in London said the two journalists named in the defamation claim were Kerry Dolan, the author of the article, and Francine McKenna, who was credited with additional reporting.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
No date has been set for a court hearing in the case, which is in its very early stages, the official said.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The law firm Kobre & Kim, which the Guardian said was acting for Prince Alwaleed in the suit, declined to comment. New York-based Forbes could not immediately be reached for comment.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The Guardian article quoted the magazine as saying: "We're very surprised at claims that Prince Alwaleed has decided to sue Forbes, particularly if he has done so in the United Kingdom, a jurisdiction that has nothing whatsoever to do with our recent story which raised questions about his claims about his wealth."</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_22_1370635078856_217" style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Media lawyer Jonathan Coad, of the London firm Lewis Silkin, said <span class="yshortcuts cs4-ndcor" id="lw_1370616782488_6" style="cursor: pointer;">London</span> was seen as a more attractive place than New York to bring defamation suits because U.S. libel law made higher requirements of claimants.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
"In the U.S., a high-profile claimant has to prove firstly that the article was untrue and secondly that the publisher knew that the article was untrue, which is what we call malice. Those are two hurdles that a UK libel action does not present," said Coad, who is not involved in the Prince Alwaleed case.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Under British libel law, a claimant has only to prove that a publication was defamatory. Then the burden of proof passes to the defendant, who has several possible defenses, including that the publication was true.</div>

So did the <a href="http://laughingsquid.com/burrito-bomber-an-open-source-airborne-mexican-food-delivery-system/" style="color: #5d4370; text-decoration: none;">Burrito Bomber</a>.</div>

But now, the skies, at least in the U.K., have finally opened up to fast food: <a href="http://laughingsquid.com/domicopter-a-dominos-pizza-delivery-drone/" style="color: #5d4370; text-decoration: none;">Domino's Pizza has carried out a delivery order by drone helicopter</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.453125px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Video of the <a href="http://tandbiscuits.co.uk/project/domicopter/" style="color: #5d4370; text-decoration: none;">DomiCopter</a>—developed by Aerosight—was posted by <a href="http://tandbiscuits.co.uk/" style="color: #5d4370; text-decoration: none;">T + Biscuits</a>, the creative agency brought in by the pizza chain's U.K. headquarters. The copter reportedly can deliver up to two large pizzas over a four-mile radius in 10 minutes or less.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.453125px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
“If anything, it went quicker than a pizza boy," T + Biscuits founder <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/06/04/dominos-pizza-is-testing-pizza-delivery-drones/" style="color: #5d4370; text-decoration: none;">Tom Hatton told Fox News</a>. "We were amazed at how easy it was going to be.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.453125px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Of course, there are a few caveats about the drone delivery.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.453125px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
First, it was not technically a drone mission. While Domino's said GPS coordinates could potentially be used in future delivery flights, this inaugural mission was controlled by an experienced drone copter pilot who had the benefit of several cameras to help guide the flight.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.453125px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Second, drone flights come with several restrictions in the U.S. For example, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/drones-enter-public-skies-2015-safe-095826982.html" style="color: #5d4370; text-decoration: none;">commercial drone flights are illegal in the U.S. until 2015</a>. Even then, in most states, drones can fly up to around 400 feet but must have the permission of landowners before entering private property.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.453125px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
That could easily be handled by a one-click legal agreement with each online drone delivery order. But for now, the politics and science of drone food delivery remain complicated.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.453125px; margin-top: 11px; padding: 0px;">

In the meantime, Domino's U.K. says it will conduct further tests, including whether the drone can handle a larger payload to incorporate items such as 2-liter bottles of soda into future deliveries.</div>

I love my iPad mini but after I <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/ipad-mini-and-samsung-galaxy-note-8-0-together-on-video-7000014618/" style="border: 0px; color: #005399; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">borrowed a friend's Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 recently</a> I had to buy one. The Note 8.0 has a similar size to that of the iPad mini but the resemblance ends there. Samsung has added features that are unique to the Note 8.0 that makes it stand out from the crowd.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Galaxy Note 2 has similar features but the extra 2.5 inches (diagonally) of screen size on the Note 8.0 brings them to life. The Samsung S Pen made famous on both the Note phones and the bigger Note 10.1 tablet really comes into full usefulness on the perfectly sized Note 8.0. Taking notes on this tablet with the pen is such a good experience it could easily make its way into conference rooms at the office.</div>

Some folks don't like Samsung's special flavor of Android but as it does on the Note 2 phone it shines on the Note 8.0. There is the right combination of features that take advantage of the hardware and standard Android functionality that makes it work well.</div>
<figure style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Notes 8 and 2" height="562" src="http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/r/story/70/00/015643/notes-8-and-2-600x562.jpg?hash=ZQN0BGZ3Mw&upscale=1" style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; height: auto; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto 15px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" title="Notes 8 and 2" width="600" /><figcaption style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5; margin: -10px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Similar style of Note 8.0 tablet and Note 2 phone- Image credit: James Kendrick/ZDNet</figcaption></figure><div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 8-inch display makes the Note 8.0 the perfect size to use comfortably in the hand. The tablet is thin and light and it is nice to use in either portrait orientation or landscape. While the build quality feels "plasticky", it is durable and can handle light bumps.</div>

The front of the Note 8.0 has a large physical Home button flanked by two touch buttons (Menu and Return). There is a web cam (1.3MP) above the display in the normal portrait orientation. The top of the unit has a headphone jack and the right side finds the power button and volume rockers. There is also an infrared transmitter on the right for use as a remote control for entertainment devices with an included app.</div>

Two features that beat the iPad mini</h3>

The Galaxy Note 8.0 compares favorably with the iPad mini in size and function. Both are solid tablets that handle apps well and are fun to use. Samsung has included some special hardware and apps that beat the iPad mini in functionality.</div>
<figure class="alignRight" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 5px 0px 0px 20px; max-width: 220px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: auto;"><img alt="Note 8 pen note" height="286" src="http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/r/story/70/00/015643/note-8-pen-note-200x286.jpg?hash=ZGMvA2R1BT&upscale=1" style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; height: auto; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto 15px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" title="Note 8 pen note" width="200" /></figure><div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The S Pen rests in a silo on the lower right of the Note 8.0. Removing the pen from the garage optionally makes a confirmation noise and fires up the S Note app for taking notes. The pen has a hover mode that works like a mouse on a PC, information is displayed by holding the pen above screen controls. Windows can be scrolled by hovering the pen over screen edges which is very useful.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Taking notes in ink on the screen works very well on the Note 8.0 The tablet is a good size for using as a notepad and the pen smoothly flows over the screen when writing. While the included S Note app is a nice simple note-taking app, there are a number of third-party apps in the Play Store that turn the Note 8.0 into a real notepad.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The second feature that leaves the iPad mini behind is the multi-view mode that allows displaying two apps on the screen at once. I discovered the <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/samsung-android-better-than-googles-android-7000011401/" style="border: 0px; color: #005399; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">usefulness of multi-view</a> on the Note 2 phone, and the larger display of the Note 8.0 makes it really shine.</div>
<figure style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Note 8 multiview" height="375" src="http://cdn-static.zdnet.com/i/r/story/70/00/015643/note-8-multiview-600x375.jpg?hash=ZGNjLGqzAw&upscale=1" style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; height: auto; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto 15px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: top; width: auto;" title="Note 8 multiview" width="600" /><figcaption style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5; margin: -10px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Tweetings and Chrome browser in multi-view</figcaption></figure><div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Multi-view allows doing things like having Gmail in a window on the left and working on an Office document using the included Polaris Office app on the right. This is only one use for multi-view, you can have any two supported apps (and there are quite a few of them) side-by-side on the screen at once. I like having the Chrome browser on half the screen and the Papyrus note-taking app on the other to take notes from reference sites in the browser.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Big bang for the buck</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is an outstanding tablet for the price of $399. While some feel that's too expensive, when you factor in the outstanding hardware and features not available on any other tablet it is a reasonable price.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The price is already coming down for the Note 8.0 as Amazon has it for $379.99 at the time of this review. There are cheaper Android tablets out there but none offer the total package as does the Galaxy Note 8.0. I am very happy with this purchase.</div>

Having earned an IT certification, many individuals think they are automatically entitled to a huge raise. The truth is that several factors, including geography, industry, experience, and yes, certifications, combine to play a major role in determining an individual's salary. However, certain certifications do have greater impact on the earning potential of an individual. Here, we take a look at the 15 certifications with the highest earning potential for 2013.</div>
<div style="color: #555555; font-family: CartoGothic, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 12px; text-align: justify;">
Note: The rankings below are derived from certifications that received the minimum number of responses to be statistically relevant in the Global Knowledge annual salary survey completed in October 2012. Certain certifications pay more, but are not represented due to their exclusive nature. These include CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert and VCDX: VMware Certified Design Expert, for example.</div>

Access to information is critical in today's fast-paced, global environment. Corporations are even more dependent on quick and reliable systems to process and retrieve information. This means they must operate their own database servers and business intelligence software to access this information in order to grow and become more successful, and Microsoft Certified Database Administrators (MCDBA) are the ones who provide this expertise. An MCDBA-certified individual has proven his or her ability to design, implement, and manage SQL Server 2000 databases. This certification was retired on September 30, 2012, though if you achieved it before that date it will still appear on your transcript as a legacy certification.

Earning a certification does not guarantee that you will walk into a higher paying job. Certification counts, but employers look at several factors, including experience. There was a time when certification holders were reasonably assured of landing a job. Today it is more of a qualifier - not having a certification means you may not even get an interview.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Windows' built-in roll-back feature will undo recent changes to the registry and hardware and software setup of your computer, without affecting your personal files and holiday photos. It's a good place to start if something has very recently gone wrong. You'll find System Restore via Control Panel.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Tap F8 during boot-up to access the boot menu. Choose Safe Mode to launch a special stripped-down version of Windows that keeps drivers and background utilities to a minimum and looks like it's straight out of 1995. Safe Mode can be used to uninstall programs or devices, or run fixes, if you can't get into Windows normally.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If your PC crashes at seemingly random times -- in other words, there's no particular software program or hardware device that prompts it -- it's possible that your computer or laptop is overheating. Invest in another fan or a laptop cooler if you think this may be the cause.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">A whole bundle of problems are caused by viruses and spyware, from slow performance to unexplained reboots. It goes without saying that you should keep your anti-virus and anti-spyware tools right up to date, but you might want to run an on-demand scanner as well to get another opinion -- </span><a href="http://www.safer-networking.org/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">Spybot Search & Destroy</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> and </span><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-gb/default.aspx" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">Microsoft's own Safety Scanner</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> are two good choices that won't interfere with your existing security tools.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Sluggish performance that degrades over time can be due to more and more programs deciding they'd like to run in the background. Open Task Manager (right-click on the taskbar) to see what's actually using up the RAM and CPU time on your PC -- if any of the entries under Processes and Services don't make much sense, run a quick Google search for details of what they are.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If you find any superfluous entries in Task Manager, chances are they're being launched with Windows. Scour the Startup folder on the Start menu to find and remove anything you don't really need all of the time. For more control over the Windows startup process, type "msconfig" into the Start menu search box and hit Enter -- the subsequent dialog lets you make detailed changes to which services and tools can launch automatically at the same time as the operating system.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">When Windows deletes a file, it doesn't move the 1s and 0s, it simply removes the references to them and marks the disk space as free. Unless you've overwritten the file with something else, you might be able to get it back -- </span><a href="http://www.piriform.com/recuva" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">Recuva</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> is one of the best and most straightforward free tools for the task.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Windows comes with various system recovery options (besides Safe Mode) that you can use if the operating system won't boot. Tap F8 when booting and choose 'Last Known Good Configuration' to revert back to the settings in place when Windows last launched. Another trick you can try is to unplug all non-essential peripherals -- sometimes a badly configured device will cause the startup process to hang.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If your PC gets so far and no further, and you find it beeps at you and shuts down before Windows even starts loading, the problem is at a lower level. Motherboards will alert you to what's gone wrong by the number of beeps -- check the user manual to find out what they mean, or look for a digital copy on the manufacturer's website.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If the PC or laptop doesn't get going at all, either you're in the middle of a power cut, your power cable is faulty, or the power supply unit/battery is bust. See if you can source a cheap spare cable or battery first, as a PSU replacement will cost significantly more.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If you do have to turn to the web, locate the developer or manufacturer's official support forums before you turn to Google. You may find there's a particular fix available or advice from other users. For smaller freeware programs, you may even find posts from the developer.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">The labyrinthine settings file that is the Windows registry can cause errors, program crashes and system restarts if something has gone wrong deep within it. There are plenty of third-party tools that will scan it for problems for you, though not all of them are trustworthy -- </span><a href="http://www.glarysoft.com/products/utilities/registry-repair/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">Glary Registry Repair</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> is one of the ones you can depend on (though as with any advanced tweaking tool, use at your own risk -- you do back up, right?).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">This is the scorched earth policy -- but it's not as drastic as you might think. Many PCs and laptops come with recovery discs or a recovery partition on the hard drive that you can use to return your computer to the state it was in when it arrived from the factory. Of course, it goes without saying that you'll need to install your software again and you'll lose all your personal data, so you'll need copies of your important files (photos, university essays etc). This process is set to be made even easier in </span><a href="http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/software-and-web-apps/windows-8-review-50005313/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">Windows 8</a><span style="background-color: transparent;">.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Use another computer to test your malfunctioning mouse/camera/printer, or just another USB port, to help you work out where the fault lies. If the problem vanishes, it's not the device itself that's to blame.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Head to the manufacturer's website and hunt down the latest drivers and/or firmware for your device -- installing these updates will replace damaged files, add the latest bug fixes and improve compatibility with other hardware and software.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Windows and devices themselves sometimes install new drivers without asking and these occasionally cause problems. To roll back to a previous version, find the hardware in question in Device Manager, right-click and choose Properties and open the Driver tab.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">It's not easy to tell when your memory is failing you and it doesn't happen often -- intermittent system instability and software crashes are the usual signs. A decent memory diagnostics tester like </span><a href="http://www.memtest.org/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">MemTest86+</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> can help by scanning the installed modules and alerting you to any potential issues.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Modern hard drives have something known as SMART (Self Monitoring And Reporting Technology) built into them. It's a standardised technology the disks use to report their status and general health back to Windows. Plenty of free applications can read and report this SMART data -- </span><a href="http://www.panterasoft.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">HDD Health</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> is one example, which also supports SSD drives -- and they will display warning signs if you need to buy a replacement drive in the near future.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Windows has its own disk-checking tool that looks for problems on your installed hard drives -- right-click on a drive in Windows Explorer, choose Properties and then the Tools tab to find it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Problems with the display can be caused by the graphics card, the monitor itself or the connecting cable (if you're not using a laptop). Using a spare cable (if available) or switching to on-board graphics (again, if available) can help you work out exactly which link in the chain is the one going wrong. If your monitor or screen is found to be faulty, there's not much you can do except dig out the warranty or pay a visit to the local repair shop.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">You don't have to be a PC-building expert to take a peek under the case -- just make sure you ground yourself to remove any static electricity first, and unplug the computer from the mains. Check for loose connections and screws or an excessive build-up of dust (a can of compressed air can help here). Laptops are less easy to poke around in, but some do allow access to the memory and hard drive, so you can check these connections. You may find more guidance from the manufacturer's website or the supplied documentation.</span></div>

It's worth checking via the developer's website or the built-in update tool that most software has, though the majority of updates now install automatically.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If problems persist, strip out all traces of the program in question using a third-party uninstaller --</span><a href="http://www.revouninstaller.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">Revo Uninstaller</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> will do the job for free -- then start the installation process again from scratch with a fresh download or the original discs. Why? It ensures any corrupt or damaged files are replaced and all of the software's settings are reset.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">28. Plug-ins</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Bear in mind that the problem may not lie with the software itself but with one of the program's plug-ins or extensions -- try disabling these add-ons one by one to see if the issue is resolved.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Many applications will create caches of temporary files that can occasionally interfere with program behaviour -- look for an option that will wipe these files. </span><a href="http://www.piriform.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">CCleaner</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> is a handy third-party freeware utility that cleans up temporary files for many different applications.</span></div>

<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">30. Conflicting programs</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Is the troublesome application having problems because of another program on the system? This can be particularly common with security tools that try and do the same thing at the same time. Try temporarily disabling other programs that might be causing interference.</span></div>

<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">31. Find the fault</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">First step: find where the problem is. Check if you can connect to the web on other computers and devices. Ideally plug a laptop into the router directly and run the router's built-in testing diagnostics -- your ISP may be experiencing issues. If there's only one PC that can't get online, there's likely to be a problem with its network adaptor or settings.</span></div>
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">32. Adaptor problems</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If you suspect the adaptor is to blame (a wireless USB dongle, for example), check the hardware tips above. Try updating the adaptor's driver, uninstalling and reinstalling, or simply plugging it in another USB port.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">33. Update firmware</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">It's possible there's a firmware update for the router that you're using, though some ISPs frown on users taking this much control over their network setup. The best place to start looking is the customer forums for your ISP, where you should find details of which free router you've been lumbered with and how you can update its firmware.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">34. Reboots all round</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">The reboot process is something of a troubleshooting cliche, but that's because it often works -- turn the router off for 30-60 seconds to re-establish the connection and reset the router. Reboot your PC for good measure to attempt to connect again.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">35. Change channels</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Routers typically share the same frequency as other devices, like microwaves and baby monitors, which can slow down your connection -- either move other wireless devices away, or change the channel used by your router (see the router settings for help with doing this).</span></div>

<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">36. Is it down?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">If you're having issues with a particular site, look it up on </span><a href="http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="" title="">www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com</a><span style="background-color: transparent;"> -- the problem may not be at your end. Note that if something large scale suffers a failure -- like Amazon's S3 storage -- it can affect many different sites and services at once.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">37. Network management</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Delve into the Network and Sharing Centre in Windows to make sure there aren't multiple programs trying to manage your wireless connection. Laptop manufacturers will often bundle their own network management software with their machines, which is fine as long as these applications aren't trying to work concurrently with Windows' own utilities.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">38. Browser woes</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Switching to an alternative browser is a simple way to test if your Internet-related problems are being caused by your favourite browser. If the browser is to blame, try some of the software tips I mentioned earlier, and take a long hard look at the plug-ins and extensions.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">39. Firewall settings</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Firewalls can be temperamental and might be blocking the site, service or program you're trying to use. Consult the incoming and outgoing settings when you've found them (if you're using the Windows Firewall, head to Control Panel). If you're struggling to get online with a particular game or networking tool, you might find instructions for allowing firewall access in the supplied documentation.</span></div>

<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">40. View connections</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Head into the Network and Sharing Centre to make sure your PC is trying to connect using the right connection (wireless versus wired, for example). While all of this should configure itself automatically, rogue programs or security tools can make changes they shouldn't. There are also some troubleshooters built into the Network and Sharing Centre, which are surprisingly useful.</span></div>

Instead of missing out on those great syncing features, though, you can create your own cloud storage service that <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">you</em> control with a service called own Cloud. With it, you'll get syncing files, notes, calendars, and more. The best part: it only takes about five minutes to get it set up.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

It's robust enough that it has replaced Dropbox for me in all except a few choice cases. It's also quick and easy to set up, and doesn't require advanced technical knowledge. OwnCloud is about as powerful as Dropbox, but it also allows people to make and share their own apps that run on ownCloud including text editors, task lists, and more. That means you can get a little more out of it then just file syncing if you want.</div>

Beyond that, you also get a music player built directly into ownCloud, a simple place to store contacts, a task manager, a syncing calendar, a bookmarking service, and a robust photo gallery. You'll be able to sync ownCloud with almost any desktop or mobile calendar and contacts app. That means if you want to ditch the likes of iCloud, ownCloud makes it easy to do. A recent update also added a simple install method so anyone can start using ownCloud right away.</div>

You don't really need much to get started with ownCloud. Just gather up:</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">One of the most interesting things you can do with ownCloud is set up a personal cloud server for all your music. Just upload some MP3 files into ownCloud, and you immediately have access to them alongside a web player. That alone is useful, but you can also set up a desktop client to access those files.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Your ownCloud server is compatible with a few <a href="http://doc.owncloud.org/server/5.0/user_manual/mediaplayer.html" style="border: 0px; color: #719602; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">different music apps</a>, but we like<a href="http://www.tomahawk-player.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #719602; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tomahawk</a> because it's simple, cross platform, and suprisingly powerful. Here's how to set up Tomahawk to read music from ownCloud:</div>
<ol style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 13px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; list-style-image: none; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 8px 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">In Tomahawk, head to the Preferences (Tomahawk > Preferences), and select "Services."</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; list-style-image: none; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 8px 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Scroll down and select "Ampache."</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; list-style-image: none; list-style-type: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 8px 2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">In the dialogue box that opens, enter in your ownCloud username and password, followed by the URL you copied above.</li>

Now, all the music you have stored on ownCloud will be playable in Tomahawk. If you're not a fan of the simplistic web player, Tomahawk works great.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">Now it's time to extend ownCloud's functionality further with apps. If you click your username from the ownCloud web interface and select "Apps" you're taken to a list of installable applications. You can also browse through a few more </span><a href="http://apps.owncloud.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #719602; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">here</a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.5;">.</span></div>

To install any of these apps, just select the app, and click "enable." After a few moments, it will be installed and you'll find a new icon on the right panel. As you'd expect, the apps range in their usefulness, but here are a few I found helpful:</div>

The nice thing about ownCloud is that with the recently added web installer, pretty much anyone can get it up and running on their own web host in a matter of minutes. Once you're set up, you can extend that functionality as much as you want, or just use it as a cloud-based file syncing service. You won't find the same amount of in-app support on mobile devices as you would with Dropbox, but as a free, private cloud server ownCloud does its job very well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The eye tracking feature allows the driver to select a function, while the 3D system allows him or her to use minimal gestures to make their selection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These new technologies help the driver control audio, navigation, HVAC, and smartphone connectivity functions. Combined with a head-up display, Hyundai says eye tracking and gesture recognition keep the driver’s eyes on the road the majority of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This may be a concept car, but Hyundai decided to make it drivable as well. However, the drive train is more realistic than the styling or futuristic infotainment interface. Under the hood is the same 5.0-liter Tau V8 from the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec and Equus. It’s mated to an eight-speed, paddle-shifted automatic transmission.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To give the HCD-14 Genesis a sporty feel, Hyundai also gave it five-link front and rear suspension and performance tires. Electronic nannies include a yaw control system and multi-mode power steering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The HCD-14 is just a concept car, but seeing as it shares its name with Hyundai’s current premium sedan, it seems likely that certain features will make it onto future production cars. The styling and infotainment system are the standouts, but whether they can make it to production undiluted is the big question. First, Hyundai should do something about that grille.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
While the iPhone has the app market wrapped up, and Android touts its customization bona fides, BlackBerry has traditionally been the security phone of choice for businesses and super spies. RIM can continue to ride the security wave with news that its unreleased platform is ready for government duty.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
On Thursday RIM announced that BlackBerry 10 smartphones and enterprise servers had received FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard Publication) 140-2 certification from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In order to pass, a device must have certified encryption algorithms when data is transmitted or the phone is at rest.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
One of the features RIM has been most proud of is its security. Thursday’s announcement is good news for a company that has been <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/05/rim-ditches-physical-keyboards-as-it-bets-everything-on-blackberry-10/" style="color: #007ca5; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;">struggling to remain relevant</a>in the post-iPhone era. This is the first time a RIM product was certified before its release. Government agencies can start using the devices as soon as they become available on the market.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
RIM is expected to release new BB10 phones during the first quarter of 2013.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 15px;">The Cadillac Cimarron was possibly the lowest point in the entire 111 year history of Cadillac. Their decision to sloppily re badge a Chevy Cavalier and then double the price was the supreme example of everything that was wrong with the American automotive industry for years to come. Cadillac has, in recent years, done a much better job of distinguishing its brand from the rest of GM, but those of us who remember the Cimarron still got nervous when </span></span><a href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/cadillac-elr-enters-ev-market-in-2014-will-share-enhanced-chevy-volt-powertrain/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 94, 153); color: #607890; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cadillac announced it would be building a plug-in vehicle based on the Chevy Volt</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 15px;">. The Convert concept, which the new plug-in was based on, looked promising, but it wasn’t until the debut of the ELR production model at the Detroit Auto Show that fears of a plug-in Cimarron could be laid to rest.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 15px;">To start with, the ELR doesn't just have a different body, it has a different body style altogether; it’s a coupe, not a sedan. And although we certainly wouldn't call </span></span><a href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/2013-chevrolet-volt-review/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgb(255, 94, 153); color: #607890; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">the Volt</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 15px;"> ugly, the ELR is definitely more attractive. The drive train is the same as the Volt’s, with an electric motor and battery pack that can carry the car for 35 miles on a single charge, and then there is a 1.4-liter range extender. With a 240V charger, the battery can be fully charged in about 4.5 hours. Cadillac hasn't set a price for the car yet, but with the huge void in the market between the $39,000 Volt and the $100,000+ plug-in vehicles like the Fisker Karma, the business case for a more luxurious and pricier car to slot in above the Volt is pretty clear. The ELR is a solid contender, and it’s not difficult to imagine that it could be one of the more popular plug-ins around.</span></span></div>

FACEBOOK Takes On Google, But Private, Personalized, Social Search Has No Clear Winner Yet</h1>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/15/facebook-announces-its-third-pillar-graph-search" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">Facebook launched Graph Search today</a>, its own version of a private, personalized social search engine. It’s somewhat of a competitor to Google’s “Search Plus Your World” – Google’s more recent take on blending personal data with that of the greater web. Although Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was careful to frame it as <em>not</em> being a web search product, that statement was not entirely accurate. It <em>is</em> web search, after all – it’s search and it’s on the web. It’s just not web search as we know it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Don’t be mistaken – these two companies, Google and Facebook, are now battling for your private data, and to some extent they’re both betting on personalization as the future of search.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Facebook, as we know, has over 1 billion users, and today noted that it has over 240 billion photos as well, and “more than a trillion connections.” In other words, it’s home to a wealth of private data, which Google can’t know about and index. A vast landscape built in Google’s blindspot. That’s a niche it would be ignorant to ignore, obviously.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Whether that niche is the definitive future of search, however, is yet to be proven.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Facebook Graph Search, the company says, is rolling out slowly. It will leverage the social network’s own private data, honoring users’ privacy settings in the process of building this new search engine. Some things aren’t yet included, like individual Facebook posts and Open Graph actions (like song listens), the company says. But they’re coming.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/15/facebook-takes-on-google-but-private-personalized-social-search-has-no-clear-winner-yet/screenshot-peoplewholikethingsilike/" rel="attachment wp-att-737362" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;"><img alt="Screenshot-PeopleWhoLikeThingsILike" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-737362" height="461" src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/screenshot-peoplewholikethingsilike.png?w=640&h=461" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 640px;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It will make Facebook far more usable, and will therefore suck up even more of users’ time from Google Sites, which will be another blow to Google’s ads business.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Facebook users will be able to search for friends, photos, restaurants and businesses nearby, games and music friends play, photos friends like and more. Much of this you can do on Facebook today, it just hasn’t been well-organized. Facebook currently has a search interface, but Graph Search will re-envision Facebook Search for a more powerful combinations of various search queries – “restaurants in New York liked by chefs,” “cities my family have been to,” “photos of friends from before 1999,” etc. Facebook Search is all about exploring your personal social connections, and those across Facebook.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/15/facebook-takes-on-google-but-private-personalized-social-search-has-no-clear-winner-yet/screenshot-peoplenamedchris/" rel="attachment wp-att-737357" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;"><img alt="Screenshot-PeopleNamedChris" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-737357" height="396" src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/screenshot-peoplenamedchris.png?w=640&h=396" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 640px;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This is a major step forward for defining what Facebook is to users: a social network turned search engine. And while it’s true that Facebook has leveraged a wealth of private data to build its engine on top of, it’s not the only company which is capable of doing so. Yes, Google may be starting from the other direction (search -> social instead of social -> search), but it’s not powerless here, despite the giant, and growing, private web behind Facebook’s doors.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Google, too, has been building its own social graph of sorts for its user base. While those visiting the destination site Google Plus may chalk up Google’s social efforts as that of building a Facebook clone with a few Google-fied bells and whistles, like video Hangouts, for example, Google’s true social efforts lie in unifying its user data across all its properties and services. Over the past year or so, Google has <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/14/google-axes-more-services-jaiku-code-search-more/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">shut down</a> <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/28/googles-spring-cleaning-in-fall-adsense-for-feeds-classic-plus-spreadsheet-gadgets-get-the-axe/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">unneeded and underused</a> services (yes, <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/02/google-kills-aardvark/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">including social search startup Aardvark</a>!). It has <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/01/24/google-consolidates-privacy-policy-will-combine-user-data-across-services/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">combined its various user Privacy Policies into one</a>, and have made users’ Google login the identification they use everywhere on Google from checking email to watching YouTube to searching for answers. It has streamlined Google and added a social layer to all of it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
YouTube is a pretty big social network, too, when you think about. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/t/press_statistics" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">800 million</a> monthly uniques. And Google hasn’t even fully realized the potential of switching on social on its mobile install base, via Android.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The company has access to other private data, too, which recently became available for public search tests. In August, it began letting <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/20/google-launches-new-experimental-search-features-for-tracking-your-online-purchases-reservations-events-from-gmail/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">users search their Gmail messages using Google.com</a>. December, <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/20/google-launches-new-experimental-search-features-for-tracking-your-online-purchases-reservations-events-from-gmail/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">it then enabled an opt-in feature</a> that lets users search for their online purchases, reservations, and other events using Google.com. The trick here is being able peer in users’ inboxes, and identify messages like order confirmations and receipts. It only feels vaguely intrusive because we believe our email is private. It’s not.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
And Gmail, one could argue, is a social network filled with far more practical data for searching than “which photos my friends liked.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Yet when it comes to the less practical – those photos, for instance – Facebook has the clear edge. 240 billion photos is just massive scale. Google, meanwhile, has let its Picasa photo-sharing service stagnate, confusingly, while also offering Google Plus Photos in its main social product. It’s time that Google stepped up its game on this front, and begin to merge the two properties properly, and transition users. (As a side note, <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/28/google-plus/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">Google offered instant (automatic, background) photo uploads from mobile</a> a year and half <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/19/facebook-photo-sync/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">before Facebook did</a>. It also now has <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/17/google-launches-dedicated-youtube-video-camera-app-for-iphone-and-ipad-touch/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">a dedicated easy upload app for YouTube</a>.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Photos could easily be Facebook’s battle to win.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
As for the other data – venues suggestions and recommendations, travel ideas, etc. – well, remember that <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/08/google-acquires-zagat-to-flesh-out-local-ratings/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">Google bought Zagat in 2011</a>. Yes, Google saw this whole thing coming. Who hasn’t? Google is still making good on that purchase, too, having <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/11/google-launches-a-new-zagat-app-for-android/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">only recently relaunched Zagat on mobile</a>. It has also merged Google Places (its business listings) into Google Plus Local. In Google’s preferred vision of the future, you might search for a restaurant, dine, rate and review the meal, <a href="http://www.google.com/wallet" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">and pay</a> the establishment, all on Google. This could happen. That’s a lot of proprietary data, too.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Perhaps the biggest reason of all as to why the search battle is just now beginning is because we don’t yet know that search built on <em>social</em> search will definitely win long-term. Does social show early progress, in terms of Facebook ads, and specifically Exchange Ads? <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/13/facebook-exchange-results/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">Yes it does</a>. Can it transition that to mobile? <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/19/facebook-exchange-mobile/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">Also possible</a>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Social search, likes, recommendations, etc., however, are built upon a potentially flawed idea: that our friends know best. They do not. Not always. Some friends have different tastes, and different interests. And some have just poor taste, let’s be honest. Does the fact that a friend bought a G&E washer mean I should too? (Maybe it was just on sale.) Does a friend’s check-in at Chez Louie equate to a recommendation? (Not without their accompanying rating or review. The food may have been terrible.) My friend went to Uruguay – should I consider that for my vacation? (They may have hated their hotel, who knows?).</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
A check-in, a place, a photo is not an answer. There’s more data needed here.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Then what about Facebook Likes? Sadly, Facebook advertisers have corrupted that data – “like our page for a coupon or deal!” Okay, liked. Hmm, now does the need for a discount mean a recommendation for a brand, though? That becomes less clear the more promotions are run.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/01/15/facebook-takes-on-google-but-private-personalized-social-search-has-no-clear-winner-yet/screenshot-photosoffriendsbefore1999/" rel="attachment wp-att-737363" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;"><img alt="Screenshot-PhotosOfFriendsBefore1999" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-737363" height="473" src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/screenshot-photosoffriendsbefore1999.png?w=640&h=473" style="border: 0px; height: auto; max-width: 640px;" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
While building a graph around what our friends and network is doing is an obvious no brainer for Facebook, it’s not necessarily the “next new thing” for search.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
And if social is not the future of search, or if it’s only one small part, where then, is search going?<em>Real answers</em>. Facebook alluded to this in its announcement, saying exactly that: Graph Search is about answers, not links. But it doesn’t yet really have them.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Google is building its own answers engine too, however. It launched <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/16/google-just-got-a-whole-lot-smarter-launches-its-knowledge-graph/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">Knowledge Graph Search</a> last year, which now delivers answers to fact-based questions. It launched a predictive, personalized search interface called <a href="http://www.google.com/landing/now/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Google Now</a> on mobile, which knows what you need to know…and before you know you need to know it. That’s pretty disruptive.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

Microsoft's ambitious Windows 8 gamble may have launched this past October, but it's 2013 that will make or break the new operating system. I have five recommendations that Microsoft should implement sooner rather than later to keep Windows 8 from going the way of Vista.</div>

Waits wasn't talking about Windows RT when he wrote and recorded "Step Right Up" in the mid-'80s, but he could've been. Microsoft wants the <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/" section="luke_topic" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">tablets</a> that run the OS to be unifying devices that are portable like a tablet but powerful enough for the heavy lifting of <a href="http://www.cnet.com/microsoft-office/" section="luke_topic" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Microsoft Office</a>. Claiming that the OS can step up to that challenge, and actually proving that it can, are not the same thing.</div>

Here's the problem with Windows RT: Even after writing <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-33642_7-57454524-292/just-what-is-windows-rt-anyway-faq/" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CNET's FAQ on Windows RT</a>, I still have problems clearly explaining what it is and why people should want it. It's "Windows 8 Lite," but it's so much more complex than that. Sure, the Surface is a nice piece of hardware, but besides its utility as a <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-57533996-75/windows-chief-rides-surface-like-a-skateboard-literally/" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">tablet-and-skateboard combo</a> it's a hard sell.</div>

I have a semibaked theory that Windows RT will become Windows 9, especially because of its ability to run on lower-powered, more secure ARM chips, but right now RT is closer to being the next Kin than the next <a href="http://www.cnet.com/xbox-360/" section="luke_topic" style="border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Xbox</a>.</div>

It's on more computers than any other OS, and that's not going to change anytime soon. We know Microsoft wants the world to move as quickly as possible to Windows 8 -- there's no other explanation for the soon-to-expire $39.99 upgrade and the push for new, interesting, touch-screen hardware.</span>Focus on apps</b></div>
</b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em;">Though some Microsoft defenders point out that it took Google years to bulk up Android's app catalog to 500,000-plus titles, Redmond doesn't have that kind of time when it comes to Windows 8.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

While it's true that Windows 8 can run legacy software just fine in Desktop mode, Metro apps are what will sell people. Some good apps currently available demonstrate the possibilities of Metro, but they don't offer a compelling reason to change your entire work flow.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The strength of iOS is that Apple's operating system is the cleanest around. Android basks in the glow of Google's best apps and services, from Gmail to Goggles to Translate to search. The Windows 8 app experience has yet to be defined, which could benefit Microsoft in that it has an open canvas to paint on.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The bad? Don't expect competitors to look the other way as Microsoft refines its app pitch to developers.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em;">The Surface hardware went a long way toward drumming up interest in Windows 8 and Windows RT, not to mention a lot of </span><i style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.333em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sturm und drang</i><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em;"> from Microsoft's hardware partners. While it could be interesting to see a Redmond-designed convertible or hybrid laptop, it's not strictly necessary. But what the burgeoning, occasionally confusing category does require is a hybrid or convertible that Microsoft can point to and exclaim to the public, "This!"</span></div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

It may not want to, but right now all that we've seen are oversize tablet-tops with hinges. You can't easily tell people why they must have a new category of hardware without a signature device.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em;">Settings aren't sexy, but they shouldn't be confusing, either. Microsoft ought to make some decisions, and fast, about cleaning up the confusing mess of its under-the-hood options.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Sometimes they're behind the Settings charm in Metro. Other times they're buried in some Desktop mode window. Currently, I find it easiest to simply start typing for what I'm looking for, and let the powerful search tool do the hard work. But if Microsoft wants Windows 8 to have long-standing appeal for nonexperts, it's going to have to demystify this stuff.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em;">Microsoft has done itself a great disservice by coming up with a fairly interesting, unique approach to the ecosystem problem, and then letting substandard marketing heighten people's questions and uncertainties.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Solving the above problems alone won't work without helping people realize what's so great about Windows 8. And without the massive license buys that businesses can provide, Windows 8 will struggle in a consumer marketplace that is increasingly turning to Macs to solve its problems.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.333em !important; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
How Microsoft can best do that I'll leave to greater marketing minds than myself. On some level, though, it would seem easiest to have compelling hardware that people want to use. The interest in the Surface is a step in the right direction, just as Samsung's Galaxy S3 and Google's Nexus 7 did wonders for Android. Maybe there's a killer "laptablet" coming at the beginning of next year, but there's little doubt that Windows 8 has a hard path to trek in 2013.</div>

<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Whether or not one believes Khan Academy is helping to reinvent education, it’s hard to dispute the fact that Khan (and now his team) are an educational video-producing machine, or that the platform <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/08/14/khan-academy-launches-the-future-of-computer-science-education/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;">continues to diversify</a>. In part, that started with the release <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/1823819/khan-academy-enters-next-era-ipad-app" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">of its iPad app in March</a>. This week, Khan Academy brought its 3,600 videos to the iPhone.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This means that the company’s learning library is now accessible on the web, tablets and the iPhone and will likely be showing up on Android in the not so distant future. It may not seem particularly shocking given the exploding popularity of mobile, but it does seem notable when put in context.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Sal Khan started out creating tutorials on Yahoo’s Doodle Pad to help his cousin do her math homework. When other family members began asking for help, he posted them on YouTube. Fast forward to the present and Khan has gone on to create some 3,600 videos, which collectively have been viewed over 210 million times. Along the way, his instructional library became <a href="http://www.khanacademy.org/" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Khan Academy</a> and gained support from the Doerrs, Bill Gates and many others, and Khan himself became the “<a href="http://www.tv3.co.nz/June-17th---Teacher-Of-The-World/tabid/1343/articleID/77908/Default.aspx#axzz2DaOq8IyW" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">teacher of the world</a>” and the “<a href="http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_22/b4230072816925.htm" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Messiah of Math</a>.”</div>

The platform has done wonders for the dialogue around learning, and it’s true that its founder is doing his part to re-imagine what modern education should be. Of course, it’s also true that the media hype partially obscured <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/post/khan-academy-the-hype-and-the-reality/2012/07/22/gJQAuw4J3W_blog.html" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">some legitimate questions</a> about the quality of Khan’s teaching, his pedagogy and whether or not video lectures really add up to Education 2.0.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/screen-shot-2012-11-28-at-10-44-57-pm.png" style="color: #0a9600; font-weight: bold; outline-style: none; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-708200" height="300" src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/screen-shot-2012-11-28-at-10-44-57-pm.png?w=174&h=300" style="border: 0px; float: right; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 1em 1em; max-width: 640px; text-align: justify;" width="174" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nonetheless, the online learning academy continues to press on. As part of the latest update to its iPad app, the company added support for the iPhone, which now allows users to access its library of videos on the go. Unlike Khan’s iPad and web apps, the new app doesn’t include the ability to download the videos so that they can be watched offline, subtitles, or track your progress through the academy and unlock achievements. Instead, the app simply allows you to watch videos.</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This might make the app seem undercooked — and in a way it is — but it could actually be a smart move given the limited form factor. Stuffing the entire Khan Academy experience onto the iPhone’s screen likely would diminish the experience of its visualization tools, interactive transcriptions and some of its better gamification and progress-tracking features.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Nonetheless, by opening up the Khan experience to iPhone users, they can now access Khan’s instructional videos on the go, while on the bus or during long car rides — all of which is huge for students and fans of the educational platform.</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It exposes a huge swath of potential learners to Khan’s 3,600 videos, which range from math and chemistry to physics and biology. While it may be old news to some, as Khan first leaked images of its new iPhone app over a week ago, it’s still a worthwhile addition to the lexicon and a sign that it’s continuing to push forward.</div>

With a name like Vuk Dragovic, one doesn’t need to go very far to find a unique name for any sort of design they’ve made and need to name. However! Dragovic does also happen to be a world-class name-creator too, so the concept you’re about to look at goes by the name “Atreides Yacht” and lives up to the elegance of the letters that title it. And it’s got some radical innovation on it’s side too, hooray! And not just in the greener section of things. It’s got a fully extendable shallow pool that shoots out the back.<span id="more-28740"></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is innovation in fear! That is, helping everyone have a fun time, a fun swimming time, even if you’re in your yacht in the middle of the deep blue sea. At the back of the boat there is a frame that slowly emerges out as it’s activated. Once extended, the swimming can begin. Stored in a sort of zig-zag pattern, extended this back section comprises of a border and a floor, all you need for complete safety from sharks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the front of the boat is meant for speed, the back is meant for rest and play. The roof’s got solar panels which help store energy to charge all the boat’s lights, pool mechanisms, and smaller fuel tank.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This boat comes in two sizes: rich and SUPER RICH. I feel obligated to say something to that effect every time I write about something there’s no way I’ll ever be able to afford. However, everyone should take the time to dream, especially if they happen to be a designer and want to be the person to take all the rich people bucks. Get that money!</div>

The Sony Digital Recording Binoculars are the first of it's kind. This unique concept is now a reality with 2 models to choose from. The world's first binoculars can capture Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution video in 2D or 3D—plus 7.1MP stills. Impressed?! With a 10X zoom it's perfect for wildlife watching or sporting events. These binoculars offers continuous auto focus while zooming so your videos won't be blurry. These binoculars will also perform very well in low light situations because of the Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor. A very nice piece of equipment for those who want to a camcorder, camera, and binoculars in one. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005I2YUTC/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ultraportab0f-20&link_code=as3&camp=211189&creative=373489&creativeASIN=B005I2YUTC">Sony DEV-3 Digital Recording Binoculars, Black</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ultraportab0f-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B005I2YUTC" style="border: currentColor !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />

Featuring four towering limestone columns and classic Flemish-bond brickwork, the century-old Mackay School of Mines Building at the University of Nevada, Reno, has long served as a bastion of Silver State history. Named after Irish immigrant and "Comstock Lode King" John Mackay, notable touches such as a cast bronze statue designed by Mount Rushmore sculptor Gutzon Borglum just outside the building helped it earn a spot in the National Register of Historic Places. Within its oak doors, however, are the makings of an intriguing experiment that's decidedly more new school. Like a mini museum, a collection of 3D-printed models are displayed within the building's sunlit, three-story atrium -- attracting a mix of students and teachers. Even more popular than the displays of plastic gears and molecule models, however, are the two <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/3d+printer">3D printers</a> that made them: a professional-grade <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/stratasys">Stratasys</a> uPrint SE Plus and a hobbyist 3DTouch machine by 3D Systems Corporation.</div>

<span class="gallery_title">The Future of Higher Education: Reshaping Universities through 3D Printing</span></div>
<a class="5368233" href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/the-future-of-higher-education-reshaping-universities-through-3d-printing/#5368233" rel="the-future-of-higher-education-reshaping-universities-through-3d-printing" title=""><div class="gallery_img" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</a><div class="gallery_img" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="gallery_img" style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this year, the building's DeLaMare Science and Engineering Library became one of the first academic libraries in the United States to provide 3D scanning and printing to all students and faculty, as well as the public. The move is part of a plan by director Tod Colegrove to transform the facility from a typical library that promotes knowledge through books to one that also encourages creative thought and discussion via hands-on technology. With 3D printers jumping from the realm of geek fantasy to something more accessible, Colegrove thought the devices would serve as the perfect vehicle for promoting education and pushing DeLaMare's evolution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If you look back at libraries over 2,000 years -- including the Library of Alexandria -- you'll see that they were involved in buying technology that many people cannot afford and making them more accessible," Colegrove said. "Along the way, it became all about having the biggest and best book collection so you ended up having identical libraries. We lost our way."</div>
<h5 style="text-align: justify;">
Paper or plastic?</h5>
<div class="image-container" style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="DNP Future of Higher Education Reshaping Universities through 3D Printing" data-src-height="413" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/620px-3d-printer-01-1350508683.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Colegrove, part of libraries losing their way involves the quiet, sanitized atmosphere that pervades many such facilities today. In the old days, libraries were largely about the conversation -- a fundamental part of learning and human nature, he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One section of DeLaMare Library's walls, for example, is covered in whiteboard paint, which makes it easier for students to write out their ideas or map out calculations in groups.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The biggest mistake we made is when we let books crowd out the users and libraries became a quiet place where there's no talking and no food and drinks," Colegrove said. "We need to adjust from having conversations in users' heads to a collaborative environment."</div>
<blockquote class="quote left">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The biggest mistake we made is when we let books crowd out the users and libraries became a quiet place."</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to take DeLaMare to the next level, Colegrove felt that it needed an anchor to draw in the diverse set of people needed to make creative collaboration possible. That's when he started thinking about 3D printers. Although the devices have been around since the '80s, 3D printers are still a relatively new concept to most people and just recently became more accessible to average consumers. The novelty of using layer after layer of melted plastic to "print" actual three-dimensional objects also gave 3D printers a "cool factor." Add the ability to turn people's ideas into something that's physically tangible and you have technology that could serve an educational purpose as well, Colegrove thought.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As great as 3D printers sounded, however, the library still faced one challenge: cost. Although it was possible to get a printer like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/makerbot">MakerBot</a> Replicator for around $2,000, Colegrove wanted a higher-end machine that could print faster at a high resolution while also being able to handle a heavy demand reliably. He decided to pick two devices -- the $20,000 Stratasys uPrint SE Plus professional-grade printer and a $4,000 3DTouch hobbyist machine. Throw in the cost of a 3D scanner and about a year's worth of plastic material and the library was looking at an expense between $30,000 and $40,000.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the university system facing steep budget cuts after the Great Recession razed the state budget, Colegrove was apprehensive about pitching his plan to his superiors. After much thought, he decided to take the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"When I first thought about getting funding from the school for the 3D printers, I was worried about the cost," Colegrove said. "But one of the people I talked to said, 'Oh, that's nothing, it's just the price of one microscope.' After that, I was like, 'OK, I don't feel so bad.'"</div>
<h5 style="text-align: justify;">
A matter of perspective</h5>
<div class="image-container" style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="DNP Future of Higher Education Reshaping Universities through 3D Printing" data-src-height="413" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/620px-3d-printer-13.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to a combination of university gift funds and grants, the library soon acquired its two 3D printers. The 3DTouch arrived first on April 27th and was printing its first job -- a rotor for an impeller pump prototype designed by a group of engineering students -- just minutes later. The rotor would take three days to finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The students just broke the box open and started printing right away," said Lisa Kurt, DeLaMare's engineering and emerging technologies librarian. "They just looked so excited and you could feel this tremendous energy."</div>
<blockquote class="quote right">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It's really heartwarming to see just how backed up the machines are."</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The library's Stratasys uPrint SE Plus arrived two months later on June 27th. The Stratasys, which prints four times faster than the 3DTouch and is jokingly described by Colegrove as their "Mercedes- Benz," has been running constantly since starting operation on July 3rd. Students have printed a range of devices that run the gamut from a bust of Master Yoda and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/reprap">RepRap</a> 3D printer parts to intricate models of molecules and an engine block. Several of the creations churned out by the devices are now on display next to the printers, along with a "Box of Disappointment" that contains discarded pieces that didn't quite turn out perfectly. For Colegrove, the strong demand for the printers validated his bet to bring the technology to the library.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It's really heartwarming to see just how backed up the machines are," Colegrove said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The waiting list got even longer in August, when the 3DTouch was taken offline due to a print head issue. The library also plans to replace the 3DTouch's build platform with a heated version after some projects printed from the device exhibited signs of warping.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the library's "one-year supply" of 35 total PLA and ABS plastic spools is down to just a third of the original amount after only a couple of months. The supply issue should rectify itself once the university starts charging for the material -- 50 cents per cubic inch for 3DTouch jobs and $4.50 per cubic inch for the higher-resolution Stratasys. Kurt says strong demand will continue to be an issue now that students are back for the fall semester.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Word has caught around campus and we were already busy even during the summer months," Kurt said. "But it's a good problem to have. I'd rather have people coming in to the library to use the printers than have an empty room."</div>
<h5 style="text-align: justify;">
A new dimension in learning</h5>
<div class="image-container" style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="DNP Future of Higher Education Reshaping Universities through 3D Printing" data-src-height="413" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/620px-3d-printer-16.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For many universities, 3D printers have become an indispensable asset for promoting learning and education. At <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/columbia+university">Columbia University's</a> Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP), the devices are considered a regular tool in student's everyday lives, said Carlito Bayne, manager of the GSAPP's Output Shop. He says the school has dabbled with 3D printers since 2000, including one that used wax. Their printers get so much use that the school is purchasing another machine. Other departments such as the fine arts, medical and engineering schools have their own 3D printers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"During presentations most students have models as well as renderings to show the design process," Bayne said. "It shows the students and professors what works structurally and what just looks good. This is something that a 2D render or drawing can't do because you only have one view."</div>
<blockquote class="quote left">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I think it's creating a Renaissance in manufacturing and the design world because even the average person can use it."</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/mit">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</a>, students such as Steven Keating are using 3D printers in cutting edge ways that go beyond simple models. The mechanical engineering student describes 3D printers as a valuable research tool because they can help accelerate projects that would normally take time using conventional modeling methods. The technology also helps democratize processes that may be too technical for the average person when done the traditional way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"3D printing allows you to prototype rapidly and iterate quickly so it really levels the playing field in terms of design," Keating said. "Anyone with a program like Sketchup can design something without needing access to a machine shop or knowing how to operate fabrication equipment. I think it's creating a Renaissance in manufacturing and the design world because even the average person can use it."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Keating's case, he is currently part of a team that's studying new digital fabrication techniques, including large-scale 3D printing. Their ultimate goal? To be able to print entire buildings. Part of Keating's research is to come up with an alternative to the current layer-by-layer printing method used by machines such as the Makerbot, which is too slow for their purposes. One approach they are developing is to "print in place" -- which allows for printing to be done on site. Their concept also uses "mobile swarm printing" via robotic agents that extrude a fast curing material. The material acts as a concrete mold for structural walls and also doubles as a thermal insulation layer. In addition to lower costs and the ability to print custom shapes, the unique approach gives the team the speed that they desire. "We estimate that for a regular single-story residential house, we can print the entire exterior wall in under a day," Keating said. "So far, we've performed a lot of small scale tests successfully so we're hoping to work on a larger scale within the next year."</div>
<h5 style="text-align: justify;">
The next level</h5>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although printing models of molecules, gears and even hobbyist projects in plastic are a good first step, one of the things that excites researchers about 3D printing involves its potential for using other materials. One example is using the technology for biological projects, including the creation of human tissue, said Ali Khademhosseini, a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/harvard+medical+school">Harvard Medical School</a> associate professor who's also involved with the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. Khademhosseini and his fellow researchers are currently trying to engineer 3D structures that mimic cells and tissues that can be transplanted into humans. Unlike the more inanimate materials traditionally used, printing tissue material requires a different kind of medium that comes with its own set of unique challenges. "We typically deal with gels and pregel liquids where you have cells encapsulated inside," Khademhosseini said. "Once printed, you can cross link them and make a gel-like structure, so the material is different ... and very hydrated."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The challenge now is making things like heart tissue, which is more vascularized and has all these blood vessels."</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the past, researchers tried to repurpose traditional printers for the job but ran into issues such as clogging. These days, they use printers from companies such as San Diego-based Organovo that specialize in printing biological material. The research could help speed up clinical trials by creating cells and tissues that can be used for testing drugs, Khademhosseini said. Larger trials, which can cost upward of a billion dollars, may also benefit by seeing reduced costs. So far, researchers working on biological printing have already created viable material for treating burned skin. More complicated tissues, however, will still take some time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The challenge now is making things like heart tissue, which is more vascularized and has all these blood vessels, or liver tissue, which has a metabolic function," Khademhosseini said. "There still are formidable challenges but we're making a lot of progress. Just being able to make tissues for drug discovery is already a big deal."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, printing speed remains a challenge for 3D printers overall, said Pedro Reis, an assistant professor of mechanical, civil and environmental engineering at MIT. Although 3D printing certainly has advantages as a prototyping tool, it still lags behind more traditional manufacturing methods when it comes to mass producing items, according to Reis. Nevertheless, its advantages as a tool for unlocking human creativity both individually and collaboratively can't be minimized.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"When you look at some of the crazy 3D objects that students come up with, you can't help but just go, 'Wow,'" Reis said. "It really empowers them and opens up their imagination. It opens up a completely new door for them to express their ideas."</div>
<h5 style="text-align: justify;">
More heads better than one</h5>
<div class="image-container" style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="DNP Future of Higher Education Reshaping Universities through 3D Printing" data-src-height="413" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/10/620px-3d-printer-15.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sunlight seeps into the bustling DeLaMare atrium on a sunny Tuesday afternoon as visitors arrive to hang out around the 3D printers and observe the progress of their projects. In one corner, a teacher checks out one of the molecule models printed by a colleague and starts chatting with a computer science engineering student who's fiddling with the 3D scanner nearby. For Ben King, an associate professor of chemistry at the school, one of the challenges in making the connection between science and technology is the gulf in communication between people. Using 3D printers, he said, not only encourages people to flesh out their ideas and potentially create the next cool widget; it also makes it easier to communicate one's results to people outside one's field of expertise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"For example, one of the very hard things about teaching chemistry is explaining that molecules have shape," King said. "This basically removes that obstacle ... so it will change how we teach chemistry and how we look at molecules on a daily basis. It's also just plain fun."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guilherme Martins, a graduate student in the computer science and engineering program, agreed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"In the field of robotics or mechanical engineering, the ability to create a moving part without any welding removes a lot of the barriers to prototyping," Martins said. "Using 3D printers also encourages you to learn something like a 3D modeling program so it pushes you to learn new skill sets."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other side of the room, one student can be seen interacting with another student at a nearby table while holding a sandwich in one hand and a drink in the other. Instead of telling the visitors to keep quiet and to dispose of their food, Colegrove joins in on the conversations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"When I first came in (a couple of years ago), I talked to the dean and said, 'You know, scientists and engineers are known for a lot of things but they're not really known to be quiet people,'" Colegrove said. "We need to get that community back in the library."</div>
<blockquote class="quote left">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It allows us to break out of the box and cross-pollinate in ways that we normally can't. Cool stuff happens when you get people together."</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The biggest benefit Colegrove has seen so far is the increase in visits from people of other backgrounds. As the library for one of the top mining schools in the country, DeLaMare has a strong history in the geosciences. With the addition of the 3D printers, the school's geological minds are now rubbing elbows with people from fields such as biology, computer science and even art.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chris Bennett, a computer science engineering sophomore, said he especially enjoys the networking aspect of his visits to the 3D printing area. He briefly chatted with civil engineering senior Alicia Veach, who is planning to use the 3D printers to create miniature prototypes of the concrete canoes she and her team use in racing competitions around the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You get your average engineering types but it's also nice to see the biologists and the artists coming in here," Bennett said. "It allows us to break out of the box and cross-pollinate in ways that we normally can't. It's basically tied to the Makerspace ethos -- cool stuff happens when you get people together."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This diverse meeting of the minds is exactly what Colegrove hopes to continue seeing as more folks become aware of the 3D printers. Colegrove alluded to the Gartner Hype Cycle, which explains the various phases that a technology goes through during adoption. The cycle starts with the creation of the technology followed by inflated expectations, disillusionment, enlightenment and the final phase of acceptance. Colegrove believes that 3D printers have passed the "disillusionment" phase that comes when a new technology fails to match the hype of inflated expectations. Instead, 3D printers are now starting to work their way up the "slope of enlightenment" stage, where most progress is achieved. How fast that translates to printing organs and Star Trek-style replicators, however, depends on how many people start playing with the technology now, he said. The key is collaboration, which speeds up the learning process, he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The old model -- where you have individual silos and people went into their individual towers -- I mean, what good is that?" Colegrove said. "Now you have engineers talking with artists and creating new forms of knowledge. Instead of the old teaching model where you have the sage on the stage, the new model is about learning from one another to create a spark that can be fanned into a flame. You end up connecting all these dots."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Clarification: </strong>The University of Michigan 3D Lab also provides limited 3D printing services to the public on a case-by-case basis, provided there is space in the printing queue after students and faculty.</div>

Barack Obama has won the election! What does this mean to the future of innovation and the technology industry? Based on Obama’s record and statements released during the campaign, here’s what technologists can look forward to:</div>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Strong support for high-skilled immigration reform:</strong> The Startup 2.0 Act is most likely the first opportunity for reform, and probably won’t happen until next year. Specifically, the Startup 2.0 Act would increase work visa availability for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) graduates from American universities. Second, it would create an entrepreneurship visa for foreign workers who create jobs in the U.S. (right now, foreign workers have to be sponsored by another company, which makes it difficult to be a founder). Finally, it eliminates country-specific caps on visas. Pressure from Democrats to include immigration reforms for Mexico and other low-represented nations will be a challenge, however.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Open Government Reform: </strong>Obama’s political appointees, Chief Technology Officer Todd Park, and Chief Information Officer, Steven VanRoekel, will continue to open the vaults of government data for use by the private sector (much like Reagan did for navigation consumer tech, when he released the Global Positioning System data)</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Continued support for government investment</strong> in clean technology, and the technology industry, through the Small Business Administration, which gives millions to investors for early stage companies and those outside the typical startup zones (i.e. California and New York).</li>
</ul>
<ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong>Strong support for STEM Education.</strong> Obama will continue to support the federal government as having an important role in preparing the next generation innovators.</li>
</ul>

<div style="border: 0px; color: #474747; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<a href="http://mashable.com/follow/topics/samsung/" style="color: #1e598e; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Samsung</a> may have lost big to Apple in the courtroom, but it’s just scored a victory in the marketplace. The <a href="http://mashable.com/follow/topics/samsung-galaxy-s-iii/" style="color: #1e598e; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Samsung Galaxy S III</a> has stolen the title of the world’s most popular smartphone from the <a href="http://mashable.com/category/iphone/" style="color: #1e598e; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">iPhone</a> for the third quarter of 2012, according to data from <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/strategy-analytics-samsung-galaxy-s3-becomes-worlds-best-selling-smartphone-model-in-q3-2012-2012-11-08" style="color: #1e598e; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Strategy Analytics</a>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #474747; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The victory, however, likely won’t stick. While the GSIII has been on sale for the entire quarter — from July 1 to Sept. 30 — the <a href="http://mashable.com/follow/topics/iphone-5/" style="color: #1e598e; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">iPhone 5</a> first went on sale Sept. 21, just nine days before the close of the quarter. Many iPhone buyers were likely waiting for the 5, and sales will likely pick up for Q4.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #474747; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The numbers support this. Sales of the iPhone 4S fell drastically from Q2 to Q3, from 19.4 million phones to 16.2. Although <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/10/25/apple-earnings-q4/" style="color: #1e598e; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Apple’s own statistics</a> don’t break out iPhone sales by model, they also showed a big dip, which Apple attributed to anticipation for the next model.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #474747; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-top: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Once the iPhone 5 went on sale, however, it’s clear there was massive demand. Sales numbered 6 million phones, alone accounting for 3.6% of the global smartphone market. Combined, the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 actually outnumber the Galaxy S III, 11.3% to 10.7%, but as individual models, the Galaxy S III beats the 4S, which is just 9.7%.</div>
