Sony unveils 9 new Cyber-shot cameras

21 hrs.

The eagerly anticipated invite just went out: Apple will host an event on March 7 in San Francisco where it promises "something you really have to see. And touch." The accompanying image clearly depicts an iPad.

While we can't guarantee that we're seeing the expected "retina" display on the iPad, in the words of our colleague Rosa Golijan, the screen "does look suspiciously sharp." The chief criticism of the iPad 2 is that its display, at 1024 x 768, reveals pixels, making reading less pleasant. It's also not "true HD," that is, 1080p, though it supports 720p HD video.

The expected resolution of the iPad 3 is 2048 x 1536, according to Cult of Mac. In order to support such a massive graphics upscale, there's likely to be a much more powerful chip inside, a quad-core one. No matter how much Apple magic goes into this, that will add up to more battery drain. At the very least, this means a larger battery is in order, as suggested by prior reports. As such, there has been some speculation that the iPad 3 will be a tad thicker than its predecessor.

There may be even more surprises in store. As The Verge's Josh Topolsky pointed out on Twitter, there doesn't appear to be a home button. That would indicate a clear design departure. That or the tablet in the image is in landscape view.
Bear in mind, none of this, not even the name "iPad 3," is confirmed at this point.
We will of course be present to cover the launch of what promises to be an amazing third-generation iPad. (Here's hoping there's news of a cheaper iPad too -- a scaled-down iPad 2, perhaps.)

Introduction and Important Information


In the year 2030 a gaming company called DEMO Corp. premiers it's newest game Hero's Squall. This game is a game with interactive technology that immerses the player's five senses and enables them to experience the game in a way they could not. Unfortunately, on the first day of their debut, all the money funding their project is hacked from their account by an in-game player character from Hero's Squall. Not only that, but they hacked the game itself and made it extremely unsafe for first time users by using monsters to kidnap players.

DEMO Corp does not like what has occurred at all with their money and these missing players, so they decide to get together a group of the world's ten best video game players from across the internet and take back charge of their video game before the hacker strikes again and does even more terrible deeds. The only problem is, he has struck again, and made all attempts made by DEMO Corp. to contact the world's best video game players impossible. Arguably making the the corporation choose from a less desirable group of players.

You who join have unfortunately been selected to fight this video game hacker. It is up to you to make sure the hacker does not go any farther than he has. Good luck...

That is about all that I have on had at the moment for this in terms of magic users. Oh, actually there's more to this.

Magicians use basic elements of fire, water wind, and earth.

Necromancers use dark and shadow magic.

Summoners summon unique monsters. I don't want any Carbuncles or other summoning creatures from other video games and such. Go find a picture without them in it.

Priests use light magic and healing magic.

Beast Tamers can control monsters up to their level if they successfully weaken or defeat it. I'll provide the monsters.

Tacticians use skills to boos the attacks of those they are in a party with. If they are not in a party they can boost their own temporarily, but they are not considered the best by gamers in this capacity.

Copy Cats can copy the skills, stats, and equipment of those that they fight. They can have up to two avatars saved on their character that they've previously fought and defeated. So if they beat a warrior and a ranger they can use those skills, but only when they change to either of those specific classes.

--

Also in terms of Trappers and Nomads. They can train horses, but other characters are allowed to use them as well. Basic horses give fifty extra points in speed whereas some of the highest grade horses give five hundred points in speed. Horses can give other stats as well, but it varies from horse to horse. If you come across a horse in your travels to tame one costs a certain number of turns and you have to have a higher perception then the horse. The horse's level determine the number of turns you need to tame it. The basic equation is horse's level divided by ten equals the number of turns it needs to be trained. If your approachable horse it level fifty then you have to spend five turns after checking perception to determine if the horse will go with you. Other people in your group can play the horse that you're trying to tame in order to convey it's emotions. When you start off if your perception is lower than a horse's own it will run away possibly.

Rules

The rules for this game are extremely extensive so please read them.

1. No god moderation or auto hitting.

2. Please fill out all the slots on the character submission page with information that is pertinent to your character in each of the categories provided. Under the description section by sure to give your character's in game avatar information like their name and stats. You can put their battle equipment and real life equipment under the equipment section and their history under the history section. Put a character's class skills under the equipment section as well. You can make skills up to level twenty, but be sure not to make them too strong or a huge number of them.

3. Please respect me, the role play creator, and be patient when it comes to making a character.

4. Please no sex, drugs, or overly gratuitous violence.

5. There are six basic game stats to Hero's Squall, when your character is in the gaming world, these are agility, attack, defense, perception, health and magic. Every level one character starts off with one hundred stat points and depending on their class gets +2 or -2 in each area they can put their stats into. Every level up gives a player twenty five stat points.

-Attack determines attack power. It deals damage based on the defense of the character you are fighting. For example if you have 10 attack and the opponent has 2 then you deal 8 damage to a player's health points. If the defense and attack of an attacking and opposing player are the same then you deal no damage. If the defense of a player is higher then the attack of a player then the attacker's attack fails as well. If you attack someone with an attack that is ten points higher than their defense you achieve a critical hit and do ten extra points of damage to them.

-Agility determines who gets to attack first. If you have an agility that is higher than your opponent's you get to attack first. If you have an agility that is equal with your opponent's then neither of you can attack each other. This is where a skill would come in handy. If you attack someone with an agility that is ten points higher than theirs you can do a second attack, but the damage of this attack is cut in half.

-Health is your health points. It really helps determine your survivability. If you run out of health you get a game over and will need to be revived. Revivals cost 10 magic points.

-Perception is your ability to be found by other players. Those with high perception cannot be located easily and those with low perception can. If your perception is within a ten point difference of another player's you cannot follow them around and locate them, thus you are in able to interact with them during combat situations.

-Magic gives you the ability to use skills and revive people the more magic you have the more skills you can use. Magician Series characters rely on magic and without it cannot often do as much. Every level a character gets five magic points and for every point of magic they have they get an extra five magic points. Skills are how damage is determined for Magician Series characters who use magic. Other characters may use magic though for attack and defensive purposes but may not end up being as effective. Magic is also their defense against magical attacks. If a Magician Series character or any other character is hit by a magical attack the skill's damage is determined and the character's own magic acts as the determiner for defense against this skill. Normal attacks are still determined by defense and thus it ends up that characters are often weak in defense if they don't have much of it.

When determining the value of Magic Points' Recovery your Magic value divided by five gives you that recovery rate. If you have 30 magic points and waste 10 and then want to recover them the next turn you would do 30/5 which equals 6 and add 6 Magic points back to your character. If a value for recovery comes out as a decimal round up.

7. Please make sure that you check your stat points and make sure they are proper.

8. Make sure to follow through with spelling and grammar.

9. If your character is logging out of the game post in the place called Earth/Hero's Squall, if not then post where you last posted or intended to post. I'm sorry if I've just gotten mad at people. My second forum has had five misplaced posts already and I don't even think we're fifty posts in yet. I've had to go back and tell people to alter things. It's made me quite frustrated about the issue a little.

10. Money is in the form of coins. Besides basic equipment everyone starts off with 1,000 coins. I'm not about to post how much the administrator has just yet, but everyone else can if they want to).

AP Interview: Syrian official says West meddling

In this Wednesday Feb. 22, 2012 photo, a Syrian rebel aims his rifle inside a classroom at a school in Deir Baalbeh neighborhood in Homs province, Syria. Syrians began voting Sunday on a new draft constitution aimed at quelling the country's uprising by ending the ruling Baath Party's five-decade domination of power, but the opposition announced a boycott and clashes were reported across the country. In regions like the restive central city of Homs, where shelling by government forces has left hundreds dead, or the northwestern province of Idlib and the southern region of Daraa where rebels clash frequently with the security forces, turnout is likely to be minimal. (AP Photo)

(AP) ? A Syrian official says the West is trying to destabilize his country for geopolitical reasons and warns that militarizing the Syrian opposition is a big mistake that will backfire.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi says the only way out of the current crisis that has killed thousands of people is for all parties to sit around the negotiating table and engage in dialogue.

He spoke Monday in an interview in Damascus with The Associated Press.

The Syrian government of President Bashar Assad has for months been battling an uprising of Syrians calling for his ouster. Western countries, including the U.S., have condemned the increasingly bloody methods Assad's government has used to put down the revolt.

The Syrian government says it is fighting against armed groups.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) ? Red Cross teams reached Hama for the first time in more than a month on Monday, delivering food and other goods to the central Syrian city battered by a military crackdown on the anti-government uprising. Activist groups reported the death toll for 11 months of unrest has surpassed 8,000.

Hicham Hassan, an International Committee of the Red Cross spokesman in Geneva, said a joint team of the ICRC and Syrian Arab Red Crescent brought an emergency delivery of food and other items for 12,000 people. He told The Associated Press it was the first time the aid group has been able to enter Hama since Jan. 17.

The city has been hard hit by a government crackdown and villages and towns nearby frequently witness anti-government protests and clashes between troops and military defectors.

In Moscow, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned against military intervention in Syria or an attack on its ally Iran in scathing criticism of the West. He said the West had backed the Arab Spring to advance its own interests in the region, and that instead of promoting democracy, the revolts had given rise to religious extremism.

Russia has been one of Damascus' strongest supporters and, along with China, vetoed two U.N. Security Council resolutions backing Arab League plans aimed at ending the conflict and condemning the Syrian regime's crackdown. Moscow has said it will block any U.N. resolution that could pave the way for a replay of what happened in Libya.

In that case, Russia abstained from a vote that cleared the way for months of NATO airstrikes that helped Libyans end Moammar Gadhafi's regime.

Putin's comments came after the U.S. and its European and Arab allies met Friday at a major international conference on the Syrian crisis in Tunisia, trying to forge a unified strategy to push Assad from power. They began planning a civilian peacekeeping mission to deploy after the regime falls.

In Brussels, European foreign ministers increased the pressure Monday on Damascus to stop its crackdown, freezing the assets of several Syrian government officials and imposing sanctions on the country's central bank. They also banned the purchase of gold, precious metals and diamonds from the country, and banned Syrian cargo flights from the European Union.

The EU had previously imposed several rounds of sanctions on Syria, freezing the assets of 100 people and 38 organizations, and trying to cut the country's supply of equipment for its oil and gas sectors.

So far the EU sanctions have had little effect on Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.

On Monday, Syria announced the results of a referendum on a new constitution held the day before. The Syrian authorities lauded the new charter as a step toward political reform.

The U.S. and its allies have dismissed the vote as a "farce" meant to justify the regime's bloody crackdown on dissent.

Syrian state TV said 89 percent of eligible voters approved the new document, while nine percent rejected it. Less than two percent of ballots were ruled invalid. It put turnout at 57 percent of eligible voters.

Syria's main opposition groups boycotted the vote, and violence elsewhere prevented polling.

The new constitution allows ? at least in theory ? for the formation of competing political parties and limits the president to two seven-year terms. Such change was unthinkable a year ago. Syria has been ruled by the Baath party since it seized power in a coup in 1963 and the Assad family has ruled since Bashar's father Hafez took over in another coup in 1970.

Results of the referendum were expected later Monday.

Rami Abdul-Rahman, head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told the AP that 8,036 people, including 5,857 civilians have been killed since March through early Monday. He said the rest are either members of the military or army defectors.

Rima Fleihan, a spokeswoman for the Local Coordination Committees activist group, said their count until Saturday was 8,638. She did not immediately have a breakdown by civilians and military.

The Observatory and the LCC have activists around Syria and both have been a major source of information as Assad's government has barred almost all foreign journalists and human rights groups.

The Observatory said at least seven people were killed Monday, four of them in a rebel-held neighborhood in the restive central city of Homs. It said the rebel-held Baba Amr district was subjected to shelling by government forces. The LCC said 30 people were killed Monday.

Hassan, of the ICRC, said efforts to re-enter Baba Amr continue. He added that the humanitarian situation in Baba Amr after days of fierce fighting is increasingly dire.

Google reportedly (and unsurprisingly) picks Dennis Woodside to replace Sanjay Jha as Motorola Mobility CEO

Dennis Woodside

Google has selected Dennis Woodside to be the new CEO of Motorola Mobility, replacing Sanjay Jha, according to three people speaking to Blomberg. Woodside is a Google executive who led the company's ad business in North America before overseeing the Google/Motorola Mobility merger.

The deal was recently approved by both the European Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, so it makes sense that these decisions are being made now.

From the beginning of the acquisition, Google has insisted that Motorola Mobility will remain an independent entity. Google and Motorola Mobility have yet to issue an official announcement.

It?s also possible to be innovative regarding where by you retail store these home appliances, such directly below or previously mentioned cabinets.

You may ask the home improvement contractors to develop an island in the heart of your kitchen and that means you may do it for storage. Its convenient location will make certain you may access the appropriate cooking and baking equipment from any place in the your kitchen, even while you are among preparing a meal or this baking a candy bar.

To increase counter and cabinet space, you may store your pots and pans by dangling them in place. Doing the following leaves additional storage space and supplies your your kitchen a homey look and feel. Another remodeling option is to invest in a galley your kitchen design, which incorporates cabinets and appliances that line up on several sides on the corridor. This design may give your kitchen an added depth.

It?s also possible to create the illusion involving more space with smart, creative lighting. Light within the cabinets or counters to provide your your kitchen more dimension and to make that appear more substantial.

The Inner Wingman - Job Search Techniques

It?s Friday night and you?re stressed our perusing the web searching for job leads. In just two weeks you will be on terminal leave from the military and you?re nervous.? The economy is in shambles, jobless rates are at an all time high, and you have zero experience in the corporate world. To make things worse, you?re competing against folks with stacked resumes and a huge network, and the outlook appears dim.

You?re about to go to combat in the real world except you have a problem, you?re not ready for battle.

Fighter pilots don?t strap on our gear and fly unless we?re fully prepared (i.e. up to date with tactics, intelligence and skill.) Did you ever strap on your gear and deploy without being prepared?? I didn?t think so.? It?s called being Mission Ready (?MR?.) Becoming MR takes work.

Simply put, you need to fully trust yourself before you can go on a mission. You have to trust yourself to win.

You have to Prepare.
You have to Train.
You have to Sacrifice.

Just like transitioning to the military was very challenging for most of you, transitioning into the highly competitive job market also takes a tremendous amount of work. But it?s not the job searching and networking that you should be concentrating on initially. Rather, you should be working on yourself.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once said: Nobody ever got muscles watching me lift the weights! I have a question for you: Have you lifted your career transition weights today?

So, rather than spending most of your time delving deep into the job search and getting stressed watching the news, what you need to do first is get busy at preparing.

Here are a few wingtips.

Instead of watching ?Grey?s Anatomy? and playing online poker, head over to Barnes and Noble and find the best books you can on job interviewing techniques, resume writing, cover letters, and recruiters. Sit, read, and take tons of notes. Do this every chance you get.? You need to essentially get a private degree in career transitioning and you have to be willing to sacrifice your time. Plan to interview at least one civilian businessperson a week over coffee or lunch. Maybe that person you strike up a conversation with at Starbucks can be a perfect candidate. Sometimes, strangers can be a great resource of information. Just be friendly and inquisitive. People like to help. Get on Linked In or Facebook and search for people who are former military. Develop a relationship with them if you can and do what most military folks don?t like to do: ask for help!

Here are some great book resources you should check out (?Google? them):

Sweaty Palms: The Neglected Art of Being Interviewed Military-to-Civilian Career Transition Guide: The Essential Job Search Handbook for Service Members How To Win Friends and Influence People: Dale Carnegie Think and Grow Rich: Napoleon Hill

Notice I didn?t just list job resources. Personal development guru Jim Rohn says ?Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.? I agree 100%.

All these resources and strategies will help you develop what I call your Inner Wingman. When you trust your inner wingman, you become confident. Confidence breeds action which leads to performance. People who lack confidence are fearful. They fear change, failure, and rejection.? Fearful people have a survival mentality, but confident people have a winning mentality. Confident people have positive attitudes and companies love to hire people who are positive and trustworthy.

If you don?t trust yourself, neither will your interviewer.

So, before you start complaining about how difficult your job search is or how little opportunities are out there, ask yourself if you?ve done the heavy lifting necessary to build trust in yourself in this competitive job market.? In life, nobody is flying your jet but you. You have to earn your wings before you can fly.

PUSH IT UP!

Low Budget Films Are Not Hard to Make ? All About Film Making ...

February 21st, 2012 by admin Leave a reply ?

When something is done on a shoestring budget, people?s impression could be that it would be unsuccessful or it would be done in such a tedious manner. This is apparently because of the concept that money is like grease; it lessens the friction and it makes motion much smoother. This could be true in a lot of ways but not so much in film-making. In fact, big-budgeted films are more epic in nature and are therefore more difficult to produce. With low-budgeted films, however, film-maker is less pressured to come up with a product that is worth all the investments poured into it.

If you are the film-maker yourself, you would find out that not being tied to the high expectations of the investors or the studios allow you to concentrate more on your craft or your art. Therefore, your focus would be on the creation of a really good film, regardless of the small budget it may have. Big budgets after all are synonymous with special effects, box-office artists, and exotic locations. As a movie buff first and a director second, you should be able to tell that those are not the ingredients to make a really good film.

Work always based on what you have; this is a golden rule that you should follow as a newbie filmmaker. This means that you should not go out buying hi-tech cameras and stuff that you think you would need. Besides, if you are ambitious enough to buy these things you may just have in mind the reason why other newbie filmmakers fail: the unwise decision to compete with the more established names in the industry. Do not go into that yet, at least for now when you are still trying to make a name. You must have seen how those indie films gathered praises despite the fact that many of these were just made with a simple digital camera. Emulate the filmmakers of these low-budget masterpieces, not Steven Spielberg or George Lucas.

You may be tempted to hire professional actors and actresses to compose your cast. Sure, if they are popular already, they would certainly be money-makers too. But then, this would also require you to invest much more in the project. These artists would just give you a cold shoulder once they find out that you could not even afford a quarter of their talent fees. Why not hire amateurs? Believe it or not, there are still so many undiscovered talents out there waiting for an opportunity like the one that you have.

Intel puts CPU and WiFi radio together on same chip, with proper shielding of course

It's little notches like these that could eventually carve out a big Intel-shaped niche in the mobile universe. What you're looking at is a prototype chip codenamed 'Rosepoint' that somehow crams a digital WiFi radio and a dual-core Atom CPU onto the same piece of silicon. Interference would normally make such proximity impossible, but Rosepoint incorporates new anti-radiation and noise-cancelling shielding to prevent the components from corrupting each other. The aim isn't just to shrink everything, but also to deliver "state of the art power efficiency" by removing unnecessary circuitry. Intel even claims it can fit the RF antenna onto a chip too, but it doesn't want to show that off just yet. Too many prying eyes.
