Apple finalized on April 3 for sale in the United States iPadWiFi version in April to hit the shelves later this WiFi +3 G version. The iPad a full range of products will be available in April in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom sales. Other areas available later this year. 

Air jordan said that from March 12 onwards, consumers can order through the Apple retail stores iPad. China, Beijing is not yet accepted iPad reservations, but some dealers Shanghai launched iPad booking services, consumers can deposit pre-paid a few hundred dollars, the fastest at the end of this month will be able to get the spot. Minimum configuration iPad price of more than 4,000 yuan but the 3G phone can function properly in the domestic use, is still unclear. 

Consulting firm iSuppli estimates, iPad cost of 219.35 U.S. dollars each (about 1500), where manufacturing cost is 10 dollars. 

Steve Jobs announced iPad in the process, the core of the Apple iPad description of A4 chips are rather limited. air jordan 1 said: "It is by our own production of the silicon chip drivers --- 1 Ghz chip --- Apple A4 it is great. Conference soon, the experts began to speculate that the chip with the iPhone and iPod touch based on the same ARM architecture. 

"I have found no official information to confirm A4 chip applied to ARM," Microprocessor Re-port, chief analyst Tom Hafuxier said. However, it was also speculated that the chip may be based on the latest ARM designs, such iPad have more space for the batteries, allowing engineers to be at a higher voltage, higher clock frequency drive A4 chips. 

PiperJaffray senior research Michael air jordans said, Apple's own production of chips, "they want to save money on the chip," in a single iPhone, a Samsung chip worth 15 dollars --- "This is the phone on the third most expensive parts. 5 U.S. dollars from 15 dollars down to sound much, but you will it multiply by 15 million, it is very impressive. " 

Munster also believes that Apple's own production of chip technology, a more likely reason is that energy consumption should be minimized. "They have developed a chip may be non-quickest, it may be the most energy-efficient."]]></description>

My shortlist would be:

Halo 3
Gear of War
Gear of War2
Call of Duty-Modern Warfare
Call of Duty-World at War
Half-Life 2

Ok so obviously Halo 2 is the most critically acclaimed - but it is also a pc port. I think my favorite is still modern warfare. the cinematography and tension of 1plr beats all the rest and multiplayer still reminds me of counter strike for the 21st century. with css bein my favorite game of all time then this is a big compliment for me.

Other things I am impressed with? the map editor in halo 3 should be in ever fps cause it adds so much more life to the game. the cover system in gear of war-2 makes all other fps feels sluggish when trying to take cover.

Ok so whats everyones favorite 360 shooter?? did I miss any other "biggies"?

Just thought I didn't mention bioshock, which I love, but I don't count it as a proper fps like the others.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi all,

I'm trying to understand how JPEG compression works, and was hoping that somebody could explain it to me in (very) simple terms. As my background does
not lie in Multimedia or maths, my knowledge about data compression is practically 0. There are a lot of online tutorials, none of which I could
make much sense of as soon as they dived into DCT.

Essentially, what I did understand was the following:
When compressing into JPEG format, the input image is first cut into 8x8 tiles where each color (R,G,B) is represented by a separate tile. Then,
each 64 pixel tile is converted into 64 frequency values (and this is already the part that I don't understand / can't visualize. What does this mean?)
Next, a discrete cosine represents the overall background brightness of the tile. Anything following this, I don't understand. Could anybody help explain?

Essentially my question is: what is DCT and what role does it play in JPEG compression.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States.

The first heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often critically reviled, a status common throughout the history of the genre. In the mid-1970s Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence; Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Bands in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal such as Iron Maiden followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the decade, heavy metal had attracted a worldwide following of fans known as "metalheads" or "headbangers".]]></description>

Enjoy this poem, it really sounds cool:

Today I Got a Valentine
from everyone but Kay.
But that's alright...
I never liked her that much anyway.

She never trades her Oreos.
She isn't good at catch.
She doesn't like my favorite bands.
Her socks don't often match.

She doesn't play computer games.
She wears her hair in braids.
She's something of a teacher's pet
and always gets good grades.

She dots her i's with little hearts.
She's always reading books.
Whenever I'm around, she gives me
such confusing looks.

But, oh my goodness, here comes Kay,
and what is this I see?
It seems she has an extra special
Valentine for me.

It's big and red has the words
"Will you be mine today?"
I always said there's no one else
I like as much as Kay.]]></description>

from everyone but Kay.
But that's alright...
I never liked her that much anyway.

She never trades her Oreos.
She isn't good at catch.
She doesn't like my favorite bands.
Her socks don't often match.

She doesn't play computer games.
She wears her hair in braids.
She's something of a teacher's pet
and always gets good grades.

She dots her i's with little hearts.
She's always reading books.
Whenever I'm around, she gives me
such confusing looks.

But, oh my goodness, here comes Kay,
and what is this I see?
It seems she has an extra special
Valentine for me.

It's big and red has the words
"Will you be mine today?"
I always said there's no one else
I like as much as Kay.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Every February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering, "Who is St. Valentine"? Time to brush up on your Valentine's history!
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions he had him put to death. 
Another legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailor's daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first 'valentine' himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it 'Your Valentine', words still used on cards today. 



"Love is blind but after experiencing it for a long time you should become familiar with some particular spots."

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you ;)]]></description>
