I remember from back in the days on windows 2003 this could be a nightmare, but on windows 2008 R2 with a few registry keys in AppSense and some GPO's it's quite easy to get this right. Continue reading »

Ford Mustang RTR knocks on the door of the Boss 302
As customers continue to throw handfuls of dollars at Ford to get their hands on the Mustang Boss 302, the popularity of that car might leave some discerning Blue Oval buyers wanting something more unique.
Enter Vaughn Gittin Jr., world champion drifter and Mustang fan, with his vision for the perfect 'Stang—the RTR.
Designing and building the 2013 Ford Mustang RTR was a combined effort among Gittin Jr., Ford and Classic Design Concepts. The aim was to create a more streetable performance car suited for track, drift and cruising duties.
The RTR is a dealer-offered and -installed package that comes with a bevy of upgrades on the inside, outside and under the hood.
"Dealers receive a pallet with the complete set of RTR parts and can install them in, ideally, one day," a RTR representative said.
There are two RTR options for buyers: the $6,250 Spec 1 appearance package and the $11,995 Spec 2 Ford Racing performance option. The latter bumps horsepower on the V8s to either 525 hp or—for an unannounced additional price—a supercharger-enabled 624 hp. Prices include the recommended cost of installation.
A Spec 3 package with additional high-end suspension components and more power is rumored and might be released by the end of the summer.
Calls to local Ford dealers listed on the RTR Web site elicited more questions than answers. One was unaware of the vehicle and had to "ask around," while another didn't believe that it was qualified to install the packages and suggested "tuning shops" might be installing them. So if you plan to order an RTR Mustang, you should contact your local Ford dealer first and determine if it is a RTR authorized dealership.
A base-model V6 Mustang with RTR Spec 1 equipment can be had for $28,245, including destination charges. A base V8-equipped GT model with the added RTR Spec 2 equipment costs $42,090. That puts it within spitting distance of the $42,995 Boss 302.
For more information on the Mustang RTR, check out the spec page here.

Skulls of the Shogun now available for Windows Phone
It's a little early but Skulls of the Shogun is now live in the Windows Phone Store.
Due to be released tomorrow, January 30th, the newest Xbox title not only breaks the drought of Xbox game releases but also spans the full gaming spectrum with versions for Windows 8/RT and Xbox Live Arcade as well as for Windows Phone 8 and 7.x.
With the release comes special pricing as well. The Windows Phone version is discounted to $4.99, the Windows 8 version will run your $9.99 and the Xbox Live Arcade version launches at 1200 Microsoft Point (about $15).
While we are seeing the Windows Phone version of Skulls of the Shogun appearing in the Windows Phone Store, it's yet to make it to the Windows 8 or Xbox Store. Hopefully it's just a case of the other stores being a little behind our Windows Phone Store front.
There is a trial version available for Skulls of the Shogun and you can pick up your Windows Phone version here in the Store.
Thanks, Kei, for the tip!

Mister Gore says:
Downloading it now, been excited for this for a while. Planning on getting the WP8 version and the XBLA version as well.
inside man 55 says:
Sweet present! I didn't expect a trial...
nrask7 says:
Getting it now!
WinEXMan says:
missionsparta says:
Anyone see if it was released for the Surface yet?
missionsparta says:
Yeah...it could have changed since I read it, duesch-bag.
missionsparta says:
Sorry. Some tool asked me of I could read, then deleted his comment.
igadget says:
I thought it great entertainment with just your comments. keep up the good work :)
K_lando says:
Ummm... your inter-webs spelling of 'douchebag' doesn't really help your cause though.
Also seems like a rather unnecessary question to be honest....
Win 8 Store> SEARCH> 'Shogun'... thats certainly gotta be more efficient and quicker than posting the question in comments and waiting for replies, no?
gunnerou says:
Just purchased for the surface!
ChrisLynch says:
Yep, it's live in the Windows 8 Store. Just downloaded it on my L920 and Win8 laptop.
expectafight says:
Anyone notice the entry in the windows phone store says it was last updated 1/11?
Judge_Daniel says:
What exactly is the connection between the three versions? Are they three separate games with the same name? Can you pause on one and play on the other?
Iskassasya says:
I haven't seen any log stating they sync together. I believe they are stand alone version available on multiple platforms...i would love to be proven wrong though.
Malcolm Clement says:
Its the second bullet point down.
Terrin says:
THey have cloud saving so if you save a game you can pick up and continue on another and cross platform multiplayer so you can play people on xbox and w8 using async mp which is pretty cool *also you can take ur turn on wp8 and then do your turn on xbox* its the first true 3 screen game we have
hacer619 says:
gonna buy it now
wpwaukesha says:
I'm not a big gamer, nor do I play a lot of games on my phone but I have been watching the progress of this game. I love the aesthetics, the story line and music. I just downloaded this (1/29/13) and played the game through my blue tooth speaker. it is a cool game, looks so good on my Nokia Lumia 820! Highly recommend.
Nakazul says:
So small. With all the fuzz I thought this game to be 200mb+. Now I'm thinking that the hype around the game can only make us disappointed. Will try it when I get to WiFi.
elvisff says:
Not the size of the game, but how well it plays... :)
Nakazul says:
True for all your comments, but look at what im really meaning here, its telling how much content there is in the game. I was thinking that SoS would be a graphical master peace. A game can be fun being 10mb but I with the buzz around the game, I thought it to be a graphical heavy super game. I am longing for one. The style of graphics seems cool and all and the game might be fun (not my first impression), just was hoping for more.
sejgiul says:
Actually a game's size doesn't make a difference at all. Levels can be auto-generated from a script, the sprites can be re-used throughout different levels etc.
Malcolm Clement says:
Frustrating that you have to have WiFi to download larger apps and games... Let me use the LTE for what it would work best with... large files!
andrewq911 says:
I second that!
spyderzWPC says:
got it downloaded (WP8 version) so far so good...
navidee says:
Can't wait to get home so I can download over wifi
Terrin says:
also hope this is the end to the drought hopefully next week we get nova 3
MacDaMachine says:
I think the graphics could be a lot better than what they are imo. And everything is so blown up on the menu it feels like it isn't at 720p resolution...
MacDaMachine says:
And the battery drain was really bad...
ChazTyldsley says:
I thought this too... Disappointing
TechAbstract says:
This game is made for WP7 too. I don't expect crazy graphics. Games that are made for WP8 only, do look great.
MacDaMachine says:
I know wp8 games can look great. I got chimpact and it looks nice and crisp.
dubnukem says:
I was also hoping it would be optimized for WP8, but i think the awesomeness of the game makes up for the lower resolution.
JamesDax3 says:
Very good game so far. Great graphics and nice humor. Controls are easy to master.
Iskassasya says:
Just completed the trial, now buying. I got addicted straight away.
sqlchicken says:
sanders2232 says:
Nice, I like the graphics it seems very smooth and clear. Fun game so far.
DreadVenom says:
Great game. Now all we need it this to continue going forward. Come on MS, we have new hardware, so lets push it.
darth3pio says:
That's what was said about Games for Windows - LIVE ....
InkabodCrane says:
Been playing for the last half hour on the phone, it's already super fun and charming. Can't wait to get the Surface version.
bcasteel says:
Sulslim says:
Now this day must be the Holiday Because MS decided to release the Game !!!! Wow ??? And how much month should we wait till the next game ????
Paul Acevedo says:
Maybe you could not just complain all the time?
NickyNichols says:
It is probably the best game available for WP. And we need to buy the hell out of it so Microsoft doesn't forget about us, this is our chance to show them. $5 is pricy, but so is a value meal at mcdonalds and this probably won't give you diahhrea, its a win-win.
navidee says:
Haha this^
TonyDedrick says:
I'll try it. But I'm not gonna buy something just for the heck of it.
nathanb131 says:
Strange, mcd's usually constipates me. I'm assuming from lack of fiber. Taco bell though....woooosh!
CJ Thunder says:
While playing the intro movie my phone locked. Anyone else have that happen? To play multiplayer on the console, do you have to have Xbox Live gold? Multiplayer on two phones, do I have to be connected to the internet or just WiFi?
darth3pio says:
I'm afraid Gold is a necessity on XBox for Multiplayer.
Meathooks says:
If I was to buy one version between Windows RT or WP8, which might be the better experience?
snarkysnickerdoodle says:
Probably Windows RT. Bigger display, the battery on the phone dies pretty fast, and the resolution will probably be a bit better too.
blindfromthesun says:
Definitely the RT version. Played on my L822 first at first and then with an Xbox controller on my surface. Gaming bliss.
hacer619 says:
downloaded it on my lumia 920 and now my mozart
Ignotum666 says:
downloading the trial version...
joeynox says:
Great game but it is eating my battery
KevlarGibs says:
Windows 8 version is live now.
Keith Wallace says:
Downloading the trial now, hoping it's amazing.
aaa6112 says:
Sorry for the ignorance, but why does the last updated date show 1/11/2013 in the store?
snarkysnickerdoodle says:
That can possibly be when the game had gone "gold" and finished being developed.
johaas says:
Darn it, my my Microsoft gift card account from bing rewards was 3 cents short after tax (but not buying it was never an option). Oh well, now I have some credit to buy Mehdoh with!
simpkijd says:
Kinda tedious on a Lumia 920 screen. Cool looking graphics and and the animation is fun.
Kei Square says:
man, surprise to see it when i did the search earlier... this game is a battery killer!
CrackFachry says:
Yay! Finally a new game that's available straight away in our Region. Gonna buy it when I got a wifi connection.
jhoff80 says:
The graphics are horrible on the phone. Tons of jagged edges, and altogether blurry; my guess is that part of it is upscaled.
It's a shame, because it looks a ton better on the Surface RT (which nearly has the same resolution). It's too bad that the Windows Phone 8 version doesn't take advantage of the better quality assets they're using on the tablet.
JamesDax3 says:
Must be something wrong with your phone. Looks great on my 8X.
MacDaMachine says:
Agreed jhoff. Graphics are seriously underwhelming on my 920.
ChazTyldsley says:
Same here on my 920. Very underwhelming looks like a title made for pre-wp8 phones. Low res blown up
blindfromthesun says:
This is why we can't have nice things... If we don't buy WP games with large production values like SoS (not to mention exclusive) we might never see its like again. The game play is top notch and the artwork is great. Not sure I agree with your numerous complaints about the graphics.
pfroo40 says:
It's not native 720p, has black bars on my 8x and I'm pretty disappointed that they didn't make a version that showcases the quality of newer screens. There are tons of Android games that have different texture packs, resolutions and graphical effects based on what chipset you're using so they could have easily done the same. That being said, I think the graphical style, polish and performance are great and IMO it's easily the best game available for WP.
brandoshido says:
Bought without a trial. But there's already 5 star reviews. Good old hype machine, how is it 5 stars when the games been out for not even a day yet?
Hanhua Yin says:
Must be first impression roses.
Bill McGee says:
Not bad, playing trial on L920. Sure cranks some heat on the processor!
Milk21 says:
Yeah same here Bill.
TechAbstract says:
Fun game, not bad graphics at all.
Hanhua Yin says:
i have trouble signing into xbox live on windows 8 version. wp8 version works ok
CodeFuzion says:
CodeFuzion says:
Same. Also can't see saved game from phone version on surface version. Other games can log into live.
cowboy620 says:
Just downloaded trial version no issues will buy full version reminds of total war shogun for my PC great game.
jlynnm350z says:
Played for about 3 minutes on my Lumia 920 and you could have cooked a hotdog on my phone. If I played any longer it would be a pile of melted plastic.
insi says:
HD graphics where are you? Hello? C'mon, it looks a little awful without you...
DaSchnee says:
For 4,99€(6,99€) this game should have HD textures... Really disappointing. I bought it anyway to support the platform...
marbig says:
Fun game, wish it were made for wp8 though. My 920 screen feels so wasted here...
Dare2Blink says:
Played for about 20 min and bought it straight away. Awesome game play, controls and art style. The humour is the icing on the cake
jlynnm350z says:
How about a first person shooter game? God, halo would be sooo amazing!!
lemonsteveo says:
Looks like it's restricted to certain regions, can't download in Hong Kong.
tranite says:
So there is no HD graphics? I was worried that is was my Lumia, because I felt it was better the first time I played it. Then my phone froze and I had to soft reset and then I saw the low resolution.. So it's not HD?
MacDaMachine says:
Its definitely not HD, very disappointing. And it isn't optimized well at all because my phone cooks while it played the trial. No buy for me until those two get fixed.
Vheissu says:
Runs great looks awesome, definitely worth the $4.99.
busngabb says:
Those complaining about the lack of hd graphics need a bit of perspective. This is a fully fledged console strategy game that in terms of playability hasn't been dumbed down AT ALL. It is a fantastic game, easily the best game on Windows Phone and up there with the best on any mobile system, if not better.
Paul Acevedo says:
Als, the Windows Phone version was in development for quite a long time and went into certification back in August, before WP8 became available. It couldn't have been optimized for WP8 without causing all three versions to suffer another delay.
inside man 55 says:
Like the game, but two issues, one it drains battery real fast, two, I only played the trial but with large number of troops it is difficult to find and position people, I also had an issue where the second round no words were spoken, the dialogue is witty...i feel it would be much better on w8 or rt
jhoff80 says:
Neither has Civilization Revolution, but that doesn't stop me from saying that port looks like garbage too. One can enjoy a game and still wish that they had put out a version that takes advantage of the hardware.
Besides, people are using the fact that the WP7 version was already near the end of its cycle by the time the WP8 SDK came out... but the fact that the developer has a WinRT version means that they were already most of the way to getting a native WP8 version.
Paul Acevedo says:
It still would've meant a delay for all three versions though.
KingKapa says:
Phone battery died!!! WHILE PLUGGED INTO CHARGER!! for a game thats far from graphically intence (great artwork but its not hardware taxing) thats insane!!!
busngabb says:
It is insane. What phone do you have? I have played an hour on battery with no problems.
soumitro316 says:
difficult game
Banstyle says:
Played the first level this morning, geniunely awesome. First game in a long time that I can't wait to pick up and play again.
whitecow says:
do i need xbox gold to play skulls in multiplayer?
Paul Acevedo says:
Not if you're playing the WIndos 8 or Windows Phone versions.
segadc says:
Asking again (asked via games forum) can you save your progress in campaign and pick it up from Surface/W8 or 360? I read it does but I don't see how. Are all saves on Windows Phone synced via the cloud? Haven't bought it for W8 and/or 360 until I know for sure I can do it. Thanks!
edit: opps now I see (loading online) so that answers my question.

Most products today are picked and packed multiple times before they reach their final destination. These jobs can be difficult because they require speed, skill, accuracy, and tirelessness.
Picking and packing robots are helping many industries increase throughput. Find out about the perks of letting robots take over material handling.
The faster and more efficiently you can pick and pack, the better. Robots are capable of moving very quickly with excellent accuracy. Fanuc's 5-axis M-430iA handles 120 cycles per second. You can save production time with picking and packing robots.
Manually picking and packing parts can be taxing. Robots can be chosen to fit the payload requirements of a particular product or products. Need to handle pillows, teacups, huge crates? Regardless of your product's weight and dimension, a robot can pick, place, pack, or hoist it to where it should be.
Picking and packing jobs require dexterity, exact repeatability, and flexibility. Robots offer unmatched flexibility. A wide diversity of EOAT is available. Grippers alone can accommodate a wide variety of different parts. When it comes to building mixed-load pallet, this EOAT is essential.
There are so many choices! Interested in a 4, 5, or 6-axis robot? Need a flexpicker or an articulated model? The world of picking and packing robots is far from boring. Choose a robot from a variety of manufacturers, price tags, and sizes. Fit your needs to the letter.
Picking and packing robots can lower your overall production costs. Excellent ROI is just the beginning. With robots lending a hand on these labor-intensive jobs, you can restructure your entire workforce.
Robots will transform your picking and packing applications. Call RobotWorx today for a free quote - 740-251-4312.

So, the new Friday the 13th. What follows will probably be the most inconsequential review I've ever written, in that people are completely predisposed to seeing or not seeing this film, and I don't think anything is going to change anyone's mind about it one way or the other. I mean, it's Jason. It's Friday the 13th. Calling it the most craptacular piece of crap that ever crapped a crap won't make people avoid it, and claiming that this film healed the lame won't make people seek it out. It is what it is, and either it's your bag or it ain't.
Similarly, it seems the bar is set rather low for this movie; attending the screening and subsequent press day, I heard variations on "Well, it's just Friday the 13th" more than a few times, as if that alone means the film is exempt from anything that makes a movie worthwhile. I'm bothered by this attitude. Sure, it's "just" a slasher movie and as such, folks don't expect much from it. I think, however, that it's alright to expect that a slasher movie should mostly make sense, and that- above all else- it'll be a bit scary. How did Friday the 13th fare on those counts?
The film quickly makes haste telling the backstory about Mrs Voorhees's homicidal rampage over her son Jason's death; the 90 minutes in the original film are condensed to about 90 seconds of freeze frame flashbacks. Essentially..."You let him drown!" *chop*...out of the woods strolls young Jason to collect his mom's head, his mom's locket, and the machete used to kill her. Take note, Part 2 fans, he does not collect her sweater. Feel the sadness.
Twenty years later, a bunch of douchebags set out to find a giant marijuana crop hidden somewhere in the woods. How do they know about it? Eh, who cares. Just know that two couples and the obligatory nerd set out to find mass quantities of drugs in the hope of reselling it later to reap a profit...it gets dark and they need to set up camp for the night. They do so in Jason's territory. Yes, the Mary Jane MacGuffin here is the same one used in that other Platinum Dunes production, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Let's hear it for...err, consistency.
One couple breaks off to explore the environs; they stumble across Jason's house, complete with mom's head, mom's locket, and a bed helpfully labeled "JASON". Upon finding the locket and seeing the photos inside, it's noted that Whitney (Amanda Righetti) bears a passing resemblance to the late Mrs Voorhees. Hmm.
When Jason finds all these kids stumbling around his domain, he quickly sets about doing his thing: by "his thing", of course, I mean "serving tea and petit-fours to his guests".
Okay, I don't actually mean that. But wouldn't that be kind of awesome? What really happens is, he kills them more than just a little bit, even working in a loose homage to Part VII. Whitney's fate, however, hangs in the air.
A month has passed and a new group of douchebags (this group is, like, douchebags with jerk sprinkles on top) head on up to Crystal Lake for a weekend of partying. Also cruising around Crystal Lake is Whitney's brother Clay (Jared Padalecki), convinced that his sister is still alive even though police searches have turned up nada. As he hands out fliers to the "locals", however, we're led to believe that something's wrong at Crystal Lake; one old weirdo lady (perhaps meant to be a more subtle, subdued Crazy Ralph) informs Clay, "Somebody go missin' round here, they gone for good." Again, I say: hmm.
So, the douchebags set about partaking in "teen activities", ie copious amounts of drugs, booze, and sex. Jason upgrades from a sack to the hockey mask after he finds it on the floor of a barn- a scene which has far less eerie impact than his simply standing on a dock being mistaken for someone else in Part 3. Jenna (Danielle Panabaker) finds Clay dreamy, however, and decides to help him search for his sister instead of hanging out with the doucheys. Eventually they find Jason's...underground lair...somewhere.... around the lake, where Jason has been keeping Whitney chained up.
In related majorly spoileriffic news, Jason kills everyone but the sibling combo. They chain him to a wood chipper, which apparently just grazes his head enough to smart real bad.
Then they unchain him, haul him to Crystal Lake, and dump him in. Then he pops out, the end.
Right off the bat, let me say: I really loved this incarnation of Jason. He's mean, he's fast, he's relentless, and he's definitely human- albeit a hulking human who apparently spends his days in the woods working out...and by "human" I don't mean he has a life story, necessarily- I just mean that he's not an unstoppable supernatural monster. Derek Mears really did a fantastic job with the character, and I'd rank it up there in my ultra-cool, extreme list of "Best Jasons Evarrrr".
Pretty much everything else in the movie, though...I just about hated. Please, don't bust out the "But it's a slasher movie, a Friday the 13th!, what did you expect?", because that just doesn't fly. Even in its own shallow, ridiculous universe, the film has to make sense.
Alright, so they've essentially done away with the plotline of the original film because people just want to see Jason, not some mom running around. I can deal with that- this is a complete franchise reboot. But...a young child is standing about 5 feet away from his mother as she's killed and he does nothing? I mean, no yelling, no anything. If he didn't drown and he's been lost, wouldn't he run to his mother? How did he find her? If he didn't actually drown, why is Mama V killing everyone?
Crystal Lake. Yes, the douchebag family has built a big beautiful home on the shores of Crystal Lake, where the teens head to party. This is not their first time at the house or frolicking on the water. Yet he comes after them- why didn't Jason kill them before?
The locals seem to know about Jason- and let me say, I kinda dig the idea that the locals know about him, that he's the boogeyman in the woods you don't talk about. But...how many people have gone missing around Crystal Lake? The authorities never find any evidence of missing people or of Jason himself? Kids go missing, and no one investigates the abandoned summer camp? Clay found his sister on the first day he hit the camp. Yes, law enforcement in slasher movies is generally inept, but if enough people go missing in a small area- so many that Kookadook Neighbor Lady Who Never Leaves Her House notices- and the perpetrator has a sprawling house and campus in the midst of it, you'd think the cops might figure it out.
And can we retire the "Hi kids, I'm here to help!" "Sheriff, BEHIND YOU!" *kill* horror movie cliche? Thanks in advance.
Speaking of the Kookadook Neighbor Lady Who Never Leaves Her House, the townsfolk (for lack of a better term) in Friday the 13th are just as "scary" and "gross" as those in Texas Chainsaw Massacre- in fact, they're even portrayed by the same actors. Again, let's hear it for...err, consistency. Yes, yes, we city folk are terrified of country folk, but is it a rule in Platinum Dunes Country that city folk are nothing but supermodels while country folk are nothing but filthy, stinky, toothless weirdos who would eat you as soon as look at you?
Notice I said "abandoned summer camp". As in, it's not being used. Of course, the setting isn't used in the film either. See, the action here takes place largely at Chez de Douchebag or in Jason's underground lair. Which is a disused mine.
Yes, someone built a mine underneath a summer camp. Next to a lake. What kind of mine? We don't know. Isn't it a bit...unsafe to build a camp over a mine? Or a mine next to a lake? Yes, we can assume so. Why is the mine there, and why is Camp Crystal Lake not utilized in a Friday the 13th movie? Well, during those interviews I did with the filmmakers I learned the answers to those questions. There is a mine (a general, all-purpose "mine") because director Marcus Nispel wanted one in the film. The film does not take place at summer camp because Michael Bay doesn't think camps are scary. And that's that.
All right then, is this campless Friday scary? Despite all of Jason's power and menace, I'd still have to say no. There are jump scares a-plenty, but there's no tension- and jump scare after sting after jump scare simply gets irritating. There's no stalking, no question about who might be lurking out there in the darkness. Harry Manfredini's famous score is sorely lacking here. That classic "ki ki ki ma ma ma" is used but once, at a time when it adds nothing to the atmosphere. How can you have a Friday film and not use that sound to its maximum potential? Again, you can thank Nispel- he thinks the sound "telegraphs" the scares and he just wanted Jason to "appear"...and thus "There are jump scares a-plenty, but there's no tension".
It mostly goes down like this: character stands looking at something with a big empty space behind him, Jason pops up, death. A few deaths might stand out as homages for Friday vets- otherwise they're not nearly as outrageous as those in that other recent slasher remake, My Bloody Valentine.
My biggest gripe, I think- even beyond the horrible characters populating this film, beyond the women as blow-up dolls, the guys as jerks- came at the end. I understand suspension of disbelief. I understand the "need" for Jason to pop up out of the water at the end. Though I try, however, I simply can't wrap my head around how they achieved that end. Upon enduring this horrible night, upon watching everyone get slaughtered, upon escaping Jason's lair after being held captive for a month, Whitney and Clay are going to loosen the tangled chains around Jason's neck, freeing his mangled body from a woodchipper...then they're going to haul his 200+ pound body all the way to the lake just to dump him in? This guy- he's just a guy, after all- who killed all those people? They're going to go through all this trouble and destroy the evidence? No...no, they're not. People don't do that. Yes, people do stupid things in horror movies all the time- splitting up, investigating noises, etc- but sometimes, screenwriters need to stop and say "You, know, this is a bit much..." and figure out ways to make the characters' stupidity seem plausible. Even in its own shallow, ridiculous universe, the film has to make sense.
Am I being too hard on it? Maybe. It's just a slasher movie, after all, right? It's Friday the 13th. Jason gets his mask, he kills people. That's what folks want, mission accomplished.
