Mundane science fiction
|This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (October 2011)
Mundane science fiction is a sub-genre of science fiction, similar to hard science fiction, which is characterized by its setting on Earth or within the solar system, and a lack of interstellar travel or contact with aliens.
The Mundane SF movement, inspired by an idea of Julian Todd, was founded in 2002 during the Clarion workshop by novelist Geoff Ryman among others.[1] It focuses on stories set on or near the Earth, with a believable use of technology and science as it exists at the time the story is written.
The central ideas are:
- That interstellar travel remains unlikely; that warp drives, worm holes, and other forms of faster-than-light travel are wish fulfillment scientific fantasies rather than serious speculation about a possible future.
- That unfounded speculation about interstellar travel can lead to an illusion of a universe abundant with worlds as hospitable to life as this Earth. This is also viewed as unlikely.
- That this dream of abundance can encourage a wasteful attitude to the abundance that is here on Earth.
- That there is no evidence whatsoever of intelligences elsewhere in the universe. Although absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence, it is considered unlikely that alien intelligences will overcome the physical constraints on interstellar travel any better than we can.
- That interstellar trade (and colonization, war, federations, etc.) is therefore highly unlikely.
- That communication with alien intelligences over such vast distances will be vexed by: the enormous time lag in exchange of messages and the likelihood of enormous and probably currently unimaginable differences between us and aliens.
- That there is no present evidence whatsoever that quantum uncertainty has any effect at the macro level and that therefore it is highly unlikely that there are whole alternative universes to be visited.
- That therefore our most likely future is on this planet and within this solar system, and that it is highly unlikely that intelligent life survives elsewhere in this solar system. Any contact with aliens is likely to be tenuous, and unprofitable.
- That the most likely future is one in which we only have ourselves and this planet.
Geoff Ryman has contrasted mundane science fiction with regular science fiction through the desire of teenagers to leave their parents' homes.[2] Ryman sees too much of regular science fiction being based on an "adolescent desire to run away from our world." However, Ryman notes that humans are not truly considered grown-up until they "create a new home of their own," which is what mundane science fiction aims to do.[2]
In 2007 the magazine Interzone devoted an issue to the genre.[3]
The 2009 short story collection When It Changed: Science Into Fiction, edited by Ryman, is a collection of mundane science fiction stories, each written by a science fiction author with advice from a scientist, and with an endnote by that scientist explaining the plausibility of the story.[4]

- Excellent place for SundayYummiestVIPDined on 9/21/2014I had received 2 gift cards for Redstone and asked a couple from church if they wanted to join my family for brunch! They accepted and enjoyed it just as much as we did. I am glad I was able to treat my family and friends to a great place as payment for them babysitting my daughter. My family and I will come back again for supper! I had heard that your dinner menu is just as good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- amazing, high $ but food surpassesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/17/2014Plenty of parking except when everyone for groips drives separate. Apparently wed night is a night for this because we couldn't find a spot. Luckely the valet was only $3. Requested patio but its first come first serve. We were 5th on the list for patio and could hardly get our drinks at the bar and we were seated. Place was packed and we struggled to find a spot for 2 at the the indoor and outdoor bar. Service was awesome and food spectacular. Going here again and again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014Food was just ok except the ribs were good also the banana cream pie music was too loud for a group to talk service was not up to par
- Divine2dineDined on 9/12/2014Excellent food, drinks, ambiance, service, total experience was excellent, would highly recommend to friends and relatives.Special Features:
- Worst service we've had at RedstoneLisieVIPDined on 9/7/2014We dine at Redstone about once per week. This was by far the most disappointing service we have had. We ordered an appetizer and our entrees at the same time but specified we wanted the appetizer first. After waiting about 25 minutes, neither had been served. We flagged our server down who apologized but he never but our appetizer order in. I based my entree selection on having the appetizer as did the others in our party.
- Don't BotherJHJ123Dined on 9/4/2014Ridiculously overpriced mediocre food. Chaotic atmosphere with poor, uncaring service. Unless you are rich and want to be seen there is no reason to spend a dime here. No less than $9 for dessert. Owners want to retire early.
- Always Great!AlbarinoWineGreatVIPDined on 8/31/2014Redstone is one of our favorite restaurants in Minnesota and certainly in the southwest suburbs. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their meal: chicken salad, halibut (two entrees), and steak. The drinks were also great as well as the service.Special Features:
- Exceptional RestaurantMaryDined on 8/25/2014Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch meeting at Redstone! The staff and ambience was fantastic and the food was outstanding! We had the buffalo shrimp appetizer - delicious!! And our lunch entree's were excellant! Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday Brunch BirthdayPamellDined on 8/24/2014I love this Redstone & we were here for a birthday party with a party of 12. The staff were lovely but service was slow & the food just alright. It wasn't very busy, so I was surprised because I've had so much better here. I'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great BrunchKAB1Dined on 8/24/2014Complimentary banana nut bread and mimosas! Need I say more?Special Features:
- Red Stone BrunchfoodfareDined on 8/24/2014I think Red Stone has the best brunch in town. The "Morning Bread" is such a treat and the food is fabulous.Special Features:
- Great FoodNYSandy23Dined on 8/20/2014Redstone continues to provide outstanding American food. Steaks and other great meat, Chicken, Fish and salads. Vibrant and humming, the place is always busy. Noise levels in the restaurant are high at peak times. Kitchen can get a bit backed up but management is on top of things. Top of the moderate budget scale it is worth every dollar sign.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnhappyDined on 8/20/2014The hostess was great as my guest was going to be late so she adjusted my reservation to fit my needs. However I was very upset on how long it took our food to get out. We were seated and we ordered right away as my guest had limited time and the restaurant was seemingly a lot less busy at 8:00 vs. 6:30. We had no idea there was a private gathering and the server said our two orders got behind the lare group, which to me seems very wrong. You could easily prepare two orders so we dont wait and then start te large group. Our salads came out right away but we waited probaby 40 minutes for our food after that and he had some bites but ended up leaving his food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much more than what we expected...ChickendinnerDined on 8/17/2014Our recent experience at Redstone was exceptional. Other than a table setting for six (our party was three) and a very cool draught from above, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. In fact, this was once of the best meals we have had at a restaurant in a long time. Very good service as well. Definitely on our return-to list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MortDined on 8/16/2014Redstones in Eden prairie is an outstanding place to go for good food and a relaxing facilitySpecial Features:
- off night bad customer serviceBLONDIEVIPDined on 8/16/2014We had the worst experience at this Redstone in Ep. I had made a reservation for 4 people, 2 of us arrived and the host was going to seat us immediately and then asked if we would like to dine outside. I said yes. but they wouldn't let us sit outside until everybody was there. ok you can seat 2 of us inside but not 2 outside, doesn't make sense. the young Host was very rude and kept saying the same thing over & over. Had a special on Salmon & Kale salad, over priced and the word was yuck. our reservation was for 6:45 didnt get out until after 9:00 service was slow, waitress indifferent, felt like we were black listed,
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/11/2014Was here with a group of clients. I bit louder than I would have liked but the service was great. I had a chopped salad something I have enjoyed here before. My clients seem pleased so over all the experience was good.Special Features:
- my customer's special favoritetrifectaDined on 8/8/2014Our schedules don't seem to allow time for lunch in our busy working world, as compared to past experience.

We really had fun!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outstanding All AroundOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014We had a wonderful meal and experience at the Redstone! Great food, serivce and sertting! I had the Pesto Crusted Halibut which was hands down the best meal that I have ever eaten in my life! Food Coma for sure! My husband had the Cajun Ribeye which was also wonderful.

- Great Food and CocktailsChiFoodieDined on 7/20/2014I went to MN for my birthday! I shopped til I dropped! But my dining experiences were mediocre at best, then I spotted Redstone from the passenger window of the car as we drove by! I immediately made a reservation! No regrets! The buffalo shrimp are enormous and taste amazing. I love the grilled chicken wings... best bet is the appetizer sampler. I didn't order an entrée this visit but everything I ate was delish.Special Features:
- Usually great, but...OpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 7/20/2014Our Sunday lunch/brunch was quite a disappointment today. Delivery of our entrees took quite a long time, and then all 3 were slightly incorrect (such as a caesar salad ordered with chicken on top that arrived with no chicken). Our coffee drinker's cup was never refilled. Outside dining itself was lovely, and the singer added a nice ambience. We dine at Redstone quite frequently, but sometimes the service is hit or miss.
- Never a bad time!AlbarinoWineGreatVIPDined on 7/19/2014We go to Redstone frequently and always enjoy our visits. The food is consistently good, the service wonderful, and the drinks great! We highly recommend Redstone to everyone.Special Features:
- Always terrificsteve0309Dined on 7/19/2014My wife and I contemplated where to go for our Anniversary and after spending a couple hours going through websites and such we finally decided that we would go with our favorite restaurant in our home town. As usual we were not disappointed at all. The dinner and service were great and we had a wonderful romantic evening outside in the fresh air. I would always recommend Redstone to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoy123Dined on 7/19/2014Service was very friendly. Atmosphere was very relaxing . Steaks were both over cooked
- Good food - like usualkonakraverDined on 7/17/2014My boyfriend and I made reservations and were seated immediately once we got there. We love eating at Redstone. I typically get the Parmesan walleye with mashed potatoes but this time I tried the turkey burger while my boyfriend had the Prime dip (one of his usuals). They were both really good. The service could have been a little better however - we both asked for additions to our sandwiches and neither of us received them. The drinks were a little slow to arrive, as well. Overall though, we're pleased with Redstone. It's definitely one of our favorite places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Erick "The Ab Pro" put pen to paper and created a book that explains in detail how he got six pack abs.
Similar Ebook are available online and while many authors claim their ebooks provide the answer or truth about getting six pack abs, the content is lacking. Most are filled with scientific hype and often refer to studies that "suggest" their technique is effective. In reality, many of these techniques do not prove to be as effective as these authors would lead you to believe, which is why many fitness models and competitors don't use them. Oh, and most of the time you also have to use a special product that you can purchase from that author to get better results

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Local postal workers said they are pleased that authorities arrested a Spokane man accused of sending a deadly poison, ricin, in the mail.
Authorities arrested Matthew Ryan Buquet, 37, on Wednesday. He was immediately charged with one count of mailing a threatening communication.
Court documents alleged that the Browne's Addition man sent ricin laced letters to a Spokane post office and a federal judge. The letters were intercepted by the Postal Service, and no one was injured.
The President of the local union for postal workers said he is glad someone is in custody.
"I had been confident that they would make an arrest," said Union President Jack Talcott, "but on the other side I was a little disappointed I learned it from the news and not my employer."
The FBI searched Buquet's apartment in Browne's Addition on Saturday, However, they will not confirm whether any evidence was removed from the apartment. They also would not reveal where Buquet was arrested on Wednesday.
Postal workers in Spokane told KREM 2 News that they were worried about this case because they often get letters addressed to the post office.
"That's where some of the employee concerns came from," said Talcott, "hey if this was addressed to the post office, am I in danger by opening these letters?"
The judge set his bail hearing for Tuesday, May 28th at 2:00 p.m.

John Ridley
Adult Fiction RIDLEY
Summary: He was Charles Harmon, a black man "living white" and living well--beautiful wife, German car, big house--in an upper-upper-middle-class suburb of Los Angeles. He is Brain Nigger Charlie, a train tramp eking out a ragged existence on the railroads, leaning on drugs to keep him from thinking about everything he had, everything his creeping dementia has forced him to run from. Charlie's been asked a desperate favor: find the seventeen-year-old niece of the man who taught him how to survive the rails--a girl lost somewhere on the High Line, the "corridors of racist hate" along the tracks of the Pacific Northwest. Charlie has little hope of finding her alive, but the request is an obligation he can't refuse. The search is a twisted trail that leads from Iowa to Washington State, mixing lies and deceit, hate and hopelessness, and brutal, stubbornly unsolved murders. All of which Charlie is prepared to meet in kind. What he isn't prepared for is a path that will eventually lead him back to what he thought no longer existed--his own humanity--though the toll may turn out to be his life. At once stunningly visceral and psychologically complex, furiously paced and deeply empathic, The Drift is John Ridley's most ambitious, most galvanizing novel yet. From the Hardcover edition.

A.Architect and roofing consultant Harrison
McCampbell responds: There are several factors that may
have affected the sealing of your shingles. One factor is
climate: Many parts of Montana do not experience stifling heat
during the summer months.
The second factor is the slope of the roof. The sun's
rays will strike the roof at different angles, depending on the
roof slope. If the roof has a low slope — between 4/12
and 6/12 — then the effect of the sun on the north and
south sides will be similar. But with the steeper roof slopes
typical on newer houses — from 10/12 to 18/12 — the
north roof might stay in the shade, no matter what time of day
or year. If the north roof slope with the unsealed shingles is
parallel to the sun's rays, then the sun never had a
chance to soften the asphalt. Conversely, the south side sealed
well because the slope probably put the shingles nearly
perpendicular to the sun's rays during the hottest time
of day, thereby sealing the shingles well to each other.
The slope of the roof can affect shingle sealing in another
way as well: On steeper roofs, the weight of each shingle does
not bear as heavily on the course below. The flatter a roof
gets, the more the weight of the shingle can contribute to
effecting a seal.
One solution to the problem of unsealed shingles is to
install a dab of roofing cement or an asphalt-based caulk below
each shingle. Otherwise, it is a moot point unless you have
high wind conditions that cause a blowup of some shingles or
blow off a section.
Much of the year, the
rays of the noon sun can be almost perpendicular to a
south-facing roof slope, while the north-facing roof slope is
mostly in the shade. This may prevent northfacing shingles from

Formula One might be the main event in Singapore this week, but it hasn't been immune from the chaos caused by the launch of the iPhone 5. The queues for the latest Smart phone were at their worst on Orchard Road, the main shopping artery of Singapore, and they meant that a proposed appearance by Force India's third driver Jules Bianchi had to be cancelled because he couldn't get to the merchandising shop where he was expected!
They were crazy scenes, but not as extreme as watching the mechanics working in the sweltering conditions during practice at the Marina Bay Circuit. A mid-afternoon rain shower prior to FP1 generated unbearable humidity, in addition to an ambient temperature of 33 degrees. The conditions prompted Williams F1 team manager Dickie Stanford to come up with an amusing analogy.
"If people at home want to know what it's like for the mechanics," he said, "they should stand in a hot shower fully clothed and hold a spanner." Nice.
One man going to an extreme to keep cool is Nico Rosberg's PR manager Georg Nolte. He's still sporting the 'crew cut' inflicted on him by the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS mechanics prior to the summer break in August, which was a delayed celebratory snip following Nico's win at the Chinese Grand Prix in April.
"They wanted to shave it after China," says Georg. "I managed to persuade them to wait until the break so that it had time to grow back before the next race! My wife thought 3mm was too short, so I've let it grow to 8mm since then and she seems happy with that. It's my hot weather specification!"
The hot equatorial conditions mark the return of the paddling pool to the F1 paddock. Yes, several drivers have brought the pools to Marina Bay – but they're strictly used for work. They are filled with water, which is chilled to 11 degrees and the drivers jump in at the end of each on-track session to bring down their core temperature.
No-one on the grid has continued former Williams F1 star Rubens Barrichello's slightly odd tradition of sitting in engineering debriefs with his feet wrapped in ice. At least none of the drivers are admitting to it this year...

From now through the start of the NHL season on Oct. 4, TSN.ca presents '30 Teams In 30 Days,' a quick glimpse at each NHL club as the 2008-09 campaign approaches. Get the lowdown on every lineup, storylines to follow and Scott Cullen's fantasy analysis. It continues today with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Penguins' ascension to the upper echelon of the National Hockey League appeared inevitable, but few anticipated it occurring this quickly. Thanks to a run to the Stanley Cup Final last year, the bar has been set extremely high for this young team.
With Sidney Crosby coming off a Hart Trophy-winning campaign, Michel Therrien capturing coach of the year honours and Evgeni Malkin getting the nod as rookie of the year, expectations were high for the 2007-08 season. The team added some veteran leadership in the form of Petr Sykora and Darryl Sydor, a pair of players with three Stanley Cup rings between them. They also took care of the future of the franchise by signing Crosby to a five-year deal with a slight hometown discount.
Despite a great deal of optimism, the Pens were very mediocre to start the season, struggling around the .500 mark into December.
Interestingly enough, the turning point appeared to be when No. 1 goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury went down to an ankle injury, leaving the duties to Ty Conklin and Dany Sabourin. Instead of crumbling, the team rallied and went on a tear, winning eight straight games in late December and early January. Included in that stretch was a shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres on New Years Day in the Winter Classic.
Everything appeared to be going fine until Crosby badly sprained his ankle in a 3-0 loss to the Lightning. Many predicted the Penguins to go into the tank without their best player, but what could have very easily been their death rattle turned in to a blessing in disguise.
With Crosby out, the entire team raised the level of their game - none more so than Evgeni Malkin, who put the team on his broad shoulders. After scoring only 15 goals through the first three months of the campaign, Geno exploded for 32 goals in the final three months of the season. Riding shotgun to Malkin, Ryan Malone also enjoyed a breakout campaign, setting career highs in goals, assists, plus/minus and penalty minutes.
The team then made a huge splash at the trade deadline by landing Marian Hossa and Pascal Dupuis from the Thrashers for Colby Armstrong, Erik Christensen, Angelo Esposito and a first-round draft pick. By the time Crosby and Fleury returned to the mix, the Pens were a well oiled machine, firing on all cylinders and capturing their first division title since the 1997-98 season.
Full of confidence entering the playoffs, the Pens ran roughshod over the Ottawa Senators; took out the New York Rangers and eliminated their cross-state rival the Philadelphia Flyers.
But there was no storybook ending for the Penguins against the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Final. The team was to stretch out the series to six games, but it was apparent that the Wings were the better team. While the loss may have been heartbreaking, what the Penguins were able to achieve throughout the season was quite remarkable.

What they did: The Penguins ensured that their core would be around for a long time as they signed Malkin, Fleury and rugged rearguard Brooks Orpik to multi-year extensions. The team also secured head coach Therien's services for another three years. They also took a dip into the free-agent pool picking up a pair of new wingers for Crosby in Miroslav Satan and Ruslan Fedotenko, along with agitator Matt Cooke. But the team's success meant that they were unable to keep several key pieces. The Pens were hurt deeply by Hossa spurning their multi-year offer and taking a one-year deal for less money with the team that eliminated them from the finals - the Red Wings. Conklin also defected to the Wings after a career year to back up Chris Osgood. The Tampa Bay Lightning - backed by an ambitious new ownership group - decided to set up a Penguins-South franchise, acquiring the rights to Malone and Gary Roberts and signing Adam Hall. The team also lost Georges Laraque and Jarkko Ruutu to the Canadiens and Senators respectively.
What to watch for: The question on the minds of many people is whether or not the Pens can overcome the hangover that seems to affect every team that loses the Stanley Cup. Though it is extremely unlikely that the Pens will miss the playoffs altogether, could an Ottawa Senators-type drop from last season be in the cards? A full season of Crosby and Malkin should ensure that the Penguins will be competitive, but the secondary scoring and depth of the forwards took a big hit with the loss of no fewer than five regulars. The Penguins are hoping for Jordan Staal to rebound after the dreaded sophomore slump grabbed a hold of him early in the season and refused to let go. The talented two-way forward saw his goal production drop from 29 in his rookie season to just 12 last year. There has been talk of shifting him to the wing on one of the top two lines in an attempt to jumpstart his offensive numbers.
Pittsburgh also took a chance by signing both Satan and Fedotenko away from the Islanders. Neither enjoyed particularly good seasons, but neither player skated on a line with Crosby, either. That fact alone should be good enough for a major jump in production.
The newly signed Matt Cooke should provide the aggravation to opponents lost when Ruutu moved to Ottawa, but the team may miss Laraque more than they would like to admit. Eric Godard will replace Big Georges' penalty minutes but the does not have the same presence in the locker room nor does he have Laraque's ability to take a regular shift without taking a bad penalty.
The Pens' blueline took a significant hit when they discovered that Ryan Whitney would need surgery to repair a chronic foot injury, sidelining the promising defenceman and power play quarterback until at least January. The injury to Whitney means that the Pens will be depending more than they would like on greenhorns such as Kris Letang and rookie prospect Alex Goligoski, who have a combined 66 NHL games between them. Softening the blow a little is the presence of Sergei Gonchar, but he injured his shoulder over the weekend and could miss time. Gonchar worked significantly on his play in his own end and is considered one of the top two-way threats from the back-end in the entire league.
Players and management all breathed a sigh of relief when Orpik agreed to a six-year extension with the team. The bruising rear guard was a revelation for the Penguins in their run to the Final, leading the league in post-season hits and blocked shots. Sydor, Hal Gill and Mark Eaton will all add veteran experience.
Between the pipes, this could be the year that Marc-Andre Fleury elevates his status to the upper-echelon of starting goaltenders in the league. Fleury's game is all about confidence and a deep run in the playoffs should give him the tools he needs mentally to be among the league's best this season. The Pens will no longer have Conklin to lean on if Fleury gets injured or struggles. Sabourin will serve as backup, but if Fleury develops the way the team hopes it will be very unlikely that Sabourin starts in the 24 games he did last season.
Parting Shot: Thanks to a young, exciting team and an extended playoff run, the Penguins were able to shift the focus in Pittsburgh away from the Steelers for a couple of months. For the first time since the glory years of Lemieux and Jagr, hockey is a big deal in the Steel City once again. But with that excitement come a lot of expectations. The fans want the team to win now and management believes they have assembled a lineup good enough to capture the Cup. If they are able to do so they would be the first team since the 1982-83 Edmonton Oilers to accomplish the feat after losing in the Final the year before.
Scott Cullen's Fantasy Analysis: As long as the Pittsburgh Penguins have Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, they will be one of the most appealing teams in fantasy hockey. More.

The small, light, fill-in blog
I've been saying for a while that blogs are dead — certainly the one-person, one-voice blog, and also the big splashy expensive blog launched by a new or old-media company. Both I think had their heyday a few years ago. But as bloggish tendencies get incorporated into the broader news business, and as the sharing-and-linking part of the blogosphere moves to social media, something quite encouraging is happening: media organizations are finding it easy to set up small, light blogs which they're not particularly invested in.
On the basis of 2=trend, I present to you: Overheard, the new blog from the WSJ's Heard on the Street team; and Occupy Wall Street: The Wealth Debate, from Bloomberg Businessweek. Both are places where shorter-form quick hits can get published without laborious editing; neither are particularly important strategically; but both fill an empty niche in terms of their organization's coverage in a cheap and effective manner.
This is a lot easier than having to re-architect the broader news outlet to make it more amenable to such materials. All websites have some kind of blog content, so if you need something fast, adding a new blog should be pretty easy. And it doesn't involve lots of unreliable technology from outside vendors, either, which is always an advantage.
Well done, then, to the WSJ and Businessweek for seeing how blog technology is a good way of powering things which don't need to last forever, or get lots of traffic — they're just another part of the big package which the newsroom provides.
I doubt many people will bookmark either of these blogs, but that's fine — individual posts will get shared socially and placed on the home page, the news will get covered effectively, and that's all that's needed. These aren't throwaway microsites — they're important to the broader function of the newsroom. But they're also small enough to experiment and push the envelope with respect to voice and content type. And if certain ideas work well on these blogs, they can always percolate up to the rest of the site over time.
"I've been saying for a while that blogs are dead — certainly the one-person, one-voice blog, and also the big splashy expensive blog launched by a new or old-media company."
I have no idea what the hell you're taking about. I get more information from blogs (mostly the one-person one voice, but occasionally reuters.com-clones as well) than virtually any source.
Maybe if what you care about is making money from blogs, but if you just care about reading interesting stuff, I find new blogs that are good all the time.
Relevant to this article is a comment I made on an earlier article
link here
http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/20 11/10/17/link-phobia-and-plagiarism/comm ent-page-1/#comment-32190
Additional comment includes that blogs are not dead but are dieing, I will elaborate as time allows.
I still haven't figured out how to extract information using social media. Maybe I need to take a course or something. Twitter streams are like watching the messages on my microwave oven display, though less informative and entertaining. Facebook seems to be a thin gruel of occasional updates, usually pointless, accompanied by a cloud of gibberish responses that make blog comments look like Shakespeare and Darwin rolled into one.
Exactly how has this killed blogs?
Blogs provide a combination of diary and essay collection, both forms of which have been around for centuries and have proven durable. My guess is that the traditional media are spreading this "blogs are dead" thing the way they spread the Obama is a muslim and there is no housing bubble.
You might try taking a gulp of the air the rest of us breath every once in a while ..
You have to be kidding, social media replacing essay format? Not in the next 100 years. "Blogs" as defined by the main stream media for a while are sort of dead. Meaning that the single person screed is something that has stopped as more people have turned to social media for that kind of drivel (I don't think there are many people who want to read someone regularly getting over a broken romance but that's person's close friends). But something else is happening…
The definition between "blog" and "newspapaer/magazine" is now completely blurred. Take a look at Krugman's blog as part of the NYT constellation, or yours, or Huffpost, or Calculated Risk, or The Big Picture. Are they "blogs" or are they "oneline magazines"? Hard to say for certain, isn't it?
The MEGA important difference here, IMHO, is that with a blog I KNOW I'm getting opinion mixed with my news, very unlike FOX that screams "fair and balanced" when it is anything but a right-wing sensationalist propaganda operation. I think most thinking people like to be up-front about knowing when the opinion/fact line is blurred and "blogs" represent that. That's the future Felix, not some social media drivel. I work in the industry and I'll tell you that everyone is still searching for a reason Twitter exists because, frankly, no one I know really does anything with it except the marketing people who swear it does something but can't really tell you what. Then read the stats and see who actually creates content on Twitter and who just passes it along to be "popular". It's very instructive as to what's going on there and it isn't information by a long shot.
skyman123, I would say completely the opposite. Newspapers don't bother fact checking any more. If you read something that is factually correct in a newspaper it is an accident.
Blogs can be written by people who have actual expertise in the field and as such far far more valuable than any "news" outlet. Also not sure why FOX comes in for such a canning. Never actually watched it or read one of their articles but it would be hard pressed to be worse than the NYT or Reuters for sheer dishonesty, fabrication and incompetence. I have never ever read an NYT article on a subject that I have a passing acquaintance with that was not factually incorrect.
I think that if you are really engaged with social media then blogs come off seeming a bit clunky. Felix lives in an interrupt-driven world where fast and informative updates and insights come from a variety of sources. I think the Toyota Venza commercials (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpeoRIvn xfk, and others) capture this culture exactly. In Felix's defense, that's what everyone around him does, too.
I blog, and tweet once every couple of days, and it serves my larger purpose, but I don't have anywhere near the level of engagement that Felix does. In his world, blogs aren't cutting edge, and are slow, and he's ready to move on. Direct feeds into the brain, perhaps?

Dietician Rebecca Turner told WLBT that one ingredient hurting hearts worldwide is salt. According to the American Heart Association, American adults eat almost 3,600 milligrams of sodium daily; that's more than double the American Heart Association's recommended amount.
It's not just salt from the salt shaker that we need to watch out for, but lots of foods that appear healthy, like canned soup are loaded with salt.
Turner took us down an aisle at the grocery store, using a package of Ramen Noodles as an example.
"When you're looking at foods you want to look on the side that says percentage daily value and you're going to find the word that says sodium. This particular food has 33 percent per serving. You want to make sure you're getting items that say five percent or less when it comes to sodium-obviously when you see 33 percent you're going to want to put that back down," explained Turner.
The American Heart Association also reports that most pre-packaged meals and snacks for toddlers contain too much salt. Turner said fresh whole foods, rich in potassium can help reduce you and your child's sodium levels.
"That would be low fat dairy, pineapple, bananas, avocado and sweet potato," said Turner.
Keep in mind when shopping at the grocery store that foods without a label are always the most nutritious.

-4righteous , May 9, 2008 3:32 PMUntil these clowns come way down on their prices, there is no end in sight for standard hard drives.
This has about the same marketing hype as ddr3 compared to ddr2.
I could care less about access times.
I am not paying their prices for a 32gig "SSD".
It is just not worth the money.
5martin0642 , May 9, 2008 3:50 PMDDR2 and DDR3 have very little difference in any realistic performance measurement which is not synthetic. SSDs have seriously noticeable differences that come into play with everything you do on the system, from bootup to shutdown. The access times alone make them hugely advantageous, especially for RAID.
The key here is that SSDs are optimum for big retailers & enthusiasts, because of the lower failure rate compared to mechanical drives means less hardware failure and RMA and tech support calls. For us, its performance based. Dell and others will flock to these when the pricepoint hits home, and as soon as they jump on, drives will sell in such volume that new plants will have to be made and we'll need SATA-1000 before long.
Anyone whose been in the industry professionally and watched tech roll out over the years can see the writing on the wall, SSDs will dominate at least the "bootdrive" sector within two years. It might take longer to ramp up capacity for the "data" drives for home users, but its coming, and every process shrink to a smaller fab makes capacity go up exponentially.
2martin0642 , May 9, 2008 3:54 PMAlso, these "clowns" cant lower the price yet. They dont have the manufacturing capacity yet to ship 5x the current volume and thus cut the cost. They have to use the higher profit margins in the professional and enthusiast market to make back the R&D used to make these drives and prove viability first, and as soon as that's done and new factories or at least retrofitted ones come online solely for SSD uses, then prices will drop as soon as a competitor finishes their sites and competition sets in.
2geralt , May 9, 2008 7:53 PMSSDs have weakness in random writes and reads. Unfortunately this was not tested here.
2N19h7M4r3 , May 9, 2008 8:47 PMI think the results will be very interesting as soon as SATAII drives become available its just a matter of time till we have some of thise babies on our rigs
personally i'm still waiting for the o dB (SIL) machines and for the 10 milisecounds to boot up an Operating system =D
-1doomsdaydave11 , May 9, 2008 10:53 PMSSD's are fast, but they're what, almost $20 per gig?
HDD's are slower, but they can be as low as a quarter per gig. I'll stick with my 160GB seagate.
-3Luscious , May 10, 2008 12:16 AMLet's see now, a velociraptor has 10x storage of a memoright ssd, the memoright ssd costs 10x price of a veliciraptor and the memoright ssd is about twice the speed of the velociraptor. Seriously, is Tom's trying to compare an F16 to a 747??? Give me some of what you guys are smokin.
The ONLY, and I mean only, area where ssd drives will get consumer exposure will be in the laptop sector, simply because of the size/power requirements. For that to happen, ssd prices will need to fall "tenfold" and conventional hard drives will need to die out, which won't happen any time soon.
Desktops will will continue to use conventional hard disks for at least the next 5-10 years as they will go down in price and increase in capacities. Sata III 6gbps and newer pmr technologies will keep the traditional hard drive alive for a long time yet.
Servers may transition into a hybrid environment with both ssd and conventional drives, but with the cost of raid now so affordable (controllers incorporated into chipsets) and the fact that traditional fast (velociraptor) and beefy (terabyte) drives will ALWAYS be cheaper than the ssd variants - it's going to be a hard sell.
I'm not saying ssd is bad, but for those who don't have 5-digit monthly income, it is merely a toy for the rich. Sure, prices will eventually fall, but until you can sell the technology for 25 cents/gig or better, it will remain insignificant.
2wingless , May 10, 2008 2:54 AMgeraltSSDs have weakness in random writes and reads. Unfortunately this was not tested here.
A mix of SSDs and HDDs will probably be the best solution for a long time. They each have their strengths depending on usage patterns. As soon as SSDs become more economical, mixed setups will quickly become the norm. I would have a couple of SSDs in a RAID 0 config to boot on and load applications off of, but I would have a some HDDs in a RAID setup for mass storage.
I really can't wait to build my next system. Gone is the day where I reuse a harddrive on a new build, and the new computer seems only as fast as the old one due to the HDD bottleneck.
0Anonymous , May 10, 2008 6:45 AMYou really need to re-benchmark the Mtron with the Pro Series.
2reasonablevoice , May 10, 2008 8:48 AMI want to say to the person bitching about price and calling the manufacturers of flash drive "clowns" that unless he knows what he is talking about he should stfu. Those prices are dictated by supply and demand. They have fixed costs involved in producing these drives and thus these are the prices they are able to sell enough drives at yet still make money. As technology advancements go to work on those fixed costs you will see a corresponding price cut in the retail space.
As someone else commented on I am HORRIBLY disappointed that Tom's didn't test random writes and reads. If they actually didn't that is, I haven't finished the article but wanted to respond to the "clown" guy. I've noticed a lot of stuff like that with tech sites and it makes me wonder what kind of enticements these guys have to talk up a given product. Please do a follow up with random read&write tests.
0reasonablevoice , May 10, 2008 8:50 AMDoomsdaydave, I bought a 750gb conventional hdd for $0.19 per gig not too long ago! That is value you can't argue with but as soon as I can get a flash drive thats at least 64gb for 200 or less it will become my system drive with the mechanical drives as storage.

1Anonymous , May 10, 2008 12:59 PMI am curious how this affects the price of those DDR2 Ram drives that have a 2.5" HD as their unpowered storage. Those seemed to be the best "sweet spot" storage for high end users. but AFAIK the cost was $3000 for 32gb.
as fas as the size goes. there is only a small amount of XP/Vista that needs benefits from super fast access. Your application and it's data are usually the best canidates for super fast storage.
/And yes show us the random access tests since you do talk about OS storage.

3slyck , May 11, 2008 12:48 AMThe end of hard drives??
Give me a break. Maybe years from now but that's not exactly news. Anyway, when it finally happens this specific model will not be the one to do it. It may end up being an entirely different technology that ends the HDD if SSD's don't drop in price fast enough.
Drop the sensationalism, start labeling both the X and Y axis of your graphs like professionals, and try to regain some journalistic integrity.
Toms is going downhill fast.
2Xaphias , May 11, 2008 1:21 AM"Obviously, Mtron's Flash SSD still is quicker when it comes to starting Windows XP" I mean I see the graph, but why is it obvious, did I miss something? the only test in the article that can give a hint on real world performance, and the Mtron is almost twice as fast as the Memoright..
-1pocketdrummer , May 11, 2008 2:36 PMPerformance differences or not, I would rather set of some RAIDed hard drives with good performance, more storage, and a tiny fraction of the cost than buy 1 tiny, quick drive for over a grand. I could spend that money on a better processor or 2 video cards that would give me more performance where I need it.
In fact, even if the 32gb ssd drive was $300, I would still have a hard time justifying the cost for such little space. 128GB at $300-$500 and I MAY think about buying one or more of these.

VIENNA • Seemingly failed talks this week between Iran and the U.N. nuclear agency have instead increased pressure on Tehran to defuse suspicions before another meeting later in the month that it secretly worked on atomic arms, diplomats said Friday.
Commenting on discussions that ended Tuesday in Tehran, diplomats acknowledged the International Atomic Energy Agency mission fell short of hopes that it would come away with new information on the allegations. They told The Associated Press that Iran continued to deny any such activities.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Also disappointing was refusal by Iran to grant an IAEA request to visit Parchin — a military complex allegedly linked to secret arms work — and the fact the agency team was unable to meet with top Iranian officials, the diplomats said.
Instead of Fereidoun Abbasi, Iran's nuclear chief and a deputy president, or one of his senior aides, the Iranian delegation at the talks was headed by Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Tehran's chief IAEA delegate, they said.
The Vienna-based agency has regular access to Soltanieh and the Iranian decision to have him lead his country's negotiations could mean the Islamic Republic did not view the meeting as a top priority.
Diplomats differed on how effective this week's talks were. One said it was essentially a failure because the IAEA experts failed to dent more than three years of Iranian stonewalling on what the agency says is a growing list of evidence that Iran has worked — or is working — on nuclear arms.
But thee others took a longer view.
They said the IAEA team refused to accept an Iranian plan that would have limited the scope of its probe. Instead, the agency team left Tehran only after giving the Iranian side a concrete IAEA blueprint that would commit Tehran to answer all questions on the suspicions.
The next mission to Tehran will begin Feb. 19. If Iran rejects the proposals and continues to insist that it is innocent, the stage is set for further international action — first at a meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board that meets in March, and then potentially by the U.N. Security Council.
The board's 2006 referral of Iran to the U.N. Security Council for its refusal to rein in its nuclear program led to the first of the now four sets of U.N. sanctions on the Islamic Republic, along with a growing list of other penalties by Washington and its allies.
Iran remains publicly defiant. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei pledged Friday to aid any nation or group that challenges Israel and said military strikes over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program would damage U.S. interests in the Middle East "10 times over."
It also launched a satellite that it said was meant to gather weather data — but which raises concerns because of its possible military applications.
A British Foreign Office statement linked the launch to Iran's ambitious missile program, noting that U.N. Security Council resolutions prohibit Iran from "launches using ballistic missile technology," and adding: "The technology used in launching this satellite incorporates that used in ballistic missiles."
Still, Tehran may feel it is under the gun to defuse nuclear tensions with the most recent U.S. and European sanctions targeting Iran's oil exports — Tehran's lifeline — and fears high of an Israeli attack on its nuclear installation.
The Iranians are "acutely aware that they cannot come back and say the same thing in three weeks and that puts a lot of pressure on them," said one of the diplomats, who was briefed on the IAEA trip.
Iran insists the allegations of secret weapons work are based on documents faked by the U.S., Israel and their allies.
Faced with Iranian refusal to engage on the issue, the IAEA summarized what it knows in November in a 13-page document drawing on 1,000 pages of intelligence. It stated then for the first time that some of the alleged experiments can have no other purpose than developing nuclear weapons.
The IAEA team wants to talk to key Iranian scientists suspected of working on a weapons program. They also seek to inspect documents related to nuclear work and secure commitments from Iranian authorities to allow future visits.
Washington and its allies also want Iran to halt uranium enrichment, which they believe could eventually lead to weapons-grade material and the production of nuclear weapons. Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes — generating electricity and producing medical radioisotopes to treat cancer patients.Next Page >
