How can I begin to explain this wonderful, horribad, hot mess that is Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro to you--and why you really ought to give it a chance? I've no idea. Maybe it's personal taste. Maybe, after months of desperately searching for an anime series to fill the flap-gaping hole of quality my ancient soul desires, I've finally lowered my standards and let my hair down. Relax a little. Give something less than perfect a try. Chances are, that's not it though and I'll try my best to explain what appealed to me about Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. First, let's talk about the story.
To be frank, the story is muddled with and hidden by quickly hashed together episodic stories that come across as rushed deals just to pad the series up to its 25 episodes. Each episode generally dishes us some hilariously bad mystery which desperately needs to be solved by Neuro and his pretty-much-useless side kick, Yako. At one point, the series introduces a minor, reaccuring character in the first few episodes simply for plot reasoning, and later on completely drops the character for no apparent reason that I can see. Other than, "KK THNX U DID UR JOB BAI OUT U GO!!!!" type of laziness. I like to call it the Magical Disappearing character. There you see them explaining or pushing the main character toward the plot aaaaand, oops, 3-8 episodes in there you see them NEVER. AGAIN. EVER.
A young, and I mean much, much, much younger audience will no doubt actually enjoy the single episodes and their moral of the story sort of endings that wraps everything up in a pretty little bow with as much hurried lackluster--"guys this could have been a great story but we need to wrap this up in 20 minutes so can we cue the expected ending and all have lunch?" sort of deal.
There were moments in the story where I felt my eyebrows attempt to escape my head and fell into a heap of disbelieving oh my god, is that supposed to be scary? gigglesnorts. And yet--and yet, I found myself watching another episode. Another. And another. And yet another because there were flashes, brief, beautiful snippets of the main story which were like flakes of gold dust on an otherwise botched, half-burnt cake.
There is something exceptionally great in the very subtle approach to the story of how the characters came to be and how the main characters are learning about one another that makes all the gigglesnorting ridiculousness + "ha ha we r so funny," mediocre comedy of the episodes worth wading through. Almost. In short: Character relationships? Good. I wanted more.
Bad: Sadly, the ending was like a b***h slap by a giant tuna. It did not make sense, left a whole lot of head scratchin' behind, giant plot holes and a funny smell behind. The story sort of went on its own the last episode explaining abso-lutely-nothing. But hey! Shiny colors!
The animation is a cross between the usual water-colored backgrounds I have come to know and love with anime and horrific laziness with character design. Exceptional painting of buildings and settings that I envy artistically are strewn through-out the series. These are mingled with some terribly sloppy character designs. Even though some of the backgrounds may be recycled, I end up feeling like laziness or maybe even budget restraints come into play when we're looking at the way main and minor characters are drawn.
Too many noodly appendages without any spaghetti. Too many odd shots where characters are suddenly stretched unbelievably so and appear to be draped over some sort of warped fish eye. But. There is some effort to make the major characters seem unique. There are a few ticks to the main characters that make them amusing and far more unique than the paper cardboard cut-outs around them. In short: It's not drawn by a four year old in mid sugar induced space-time-warp. It's not drawn exceptionally well, either. It's okay. Okay enough not to want to stab your own eyes out with sporks. That's a plus for me.
Honestly, general sound effects are what I expected. The voice actors are a little on the cliche side but so is the story and the characters themselves. This anime seriously got this mark because of the opening song. It grew on me. Like a delightful little speck of algae on a pretty rock, I couldn't quite make myself dislike it. And the more I listened to it with each episode's beginning, the more I enjoyed it. Especially the change of tempo in midsong. Nifty.
This is where the anime snuck up behind me and buried a meat-hook of ooooo, shiny in my gnarled, twisted, must have epic story and art anime soul. To be blunt, all the other characters outside of the two main were wasted spaces: an annoyance I tolerated so that I could have more moments between Neuro and Yako.
On the surface you could easily think that Neuro absolutely despised Yakuo and was pretty much out to crush her spirit and soul into itty bitty weepy pie....Okay, I'll be honest again: I kinda wished he would. Because in the beginning and for the majority of the series, Yako appears to be the most useless speck of lint. She has her uses and her places (which I won't discuss so as to spoil it for you) but past that, for the first six or seven episodes I began to despair if she was just going to be the typical female lead--tripping over her own shoes and looking soooooo cute and helpless in her itty bitty school gurrrrl skirt, traipsing along behind the ooooh so big strong male lead!
And on the surface, it really looks like this might be the case.
But as I continued watching, I realized the relationship between Neuro and Yako was far more than that. Inspite of his obvious nature, through the series he pushes Yako toward developing herself, shoving her into situations that force her to think fast and deal with what comes. Most of the time, Yako seemed to be there to make up for what Neuro obviously lacks....But occasionally Yako's mental light bulb clicks on and we see an interesting dynamic between the two. That, right there--the last line you just read--is precisely what kept me watching the anime from beginning to end. I have this weakness I guess, for subtle, delightful character relationships. It is indeed, my kryptonite.
Without spoiling the series, however, I will say they entirely undermine all that they were trying to portray in the Yako/Neuro relationship by ending the series they way they chose to.
Its really up to you to come away with your own conclusion when it comes to this series. I liked it, but in the same reason why I can't really look away from a horrific car/train/airplane crash, or like how I can't explain to my husband why I still secretly enjoy watching General Hospital.
I really do have to recommend that you take the time to watch a few scenes of it on youtube or read up on Wiki first before deciding to purchase and watch. Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro is, like a strange and unique exoticly lame and weird food-- an aquired taste. It's not red wine and caviar of the anime world but more like the 5 guys burger with spicey fries: a guilty but delicious pleasure.
I love your review. So much thought and feedback without giving anything away. Thank you :)
I don't know, I didn't think it was that bad. It was simple; just something to snack-on in between more detailed series'. Oh, and this was very well written by the way.
What an awesome review! You summed up exactly why I love/hated this show so much. The ending was so much more than I had come to expect from the preceding episodic fluff, so I may have scored the story a point or two higher. Or maybe it was because what came before the finale wasn't as good that it made it shine so much... I'm not sure....
But please keep it up! Such an enjoyable read!

WIMBLEDON, England -- History is the exhaust in Andy Murray's oxygen. Each intake of clean air is contaminated by bits of Fred Perry here, particles of Bunny Austin there. He says it doesn't bother him. Murray said he is playing for himself first, his country second and the history books third. All exist in tandem, however. The order matters only to him.
Outside Centre Court, on the rolling hill where fans have access to the grounds, the Union Jacks shot up and flew when Murray's spectacular service return vanquished a surging Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. It sent Murray both into Sunday's Wimbledon final against Roger Federer and away, finally, from Austin, who in 1938 had been the last Brit to appear in a Wimbledon final. No one under the age of 74 could say they had seen what Murray brought them Friday.
Murray will play Federer for the third time in a Grand Slam final. Federer beat Murray in straight sets in both the 2010 Australian Open and the 2008 U.S. Open. Federer will be playing for his 17th major title; Murray, his first.
"It's a great challenge, one where I'm probably not expected to win the match, but one that, if I play well, I'm capable of winning," Murray said.
"But, yeah, I mean, if you look at his record here over the past 10 years or so, yeah, it's been incredible. So, you know, the pressure that I would be feeling if it was against somebody else I guess it would be different.
"But there will be less on me on Sunday, you know, because of who he is."
With Tsonga serving 15-40, the winning ball landed cross-court into the deuce court and ended the match. Murray dropped his racket and bowled over. His box -- girlfriend, mother, coaches -- erupted, but not stoic coach Ivan Lendl. He himself had come close to this championship on seven occasions -- reaching two finals and five semifinals -- but each time was unable to capture the title. Lendl remained seated, eyes shielded by sunglasses, his head resting on his left palm.
"Well, I think, like after the match today, you try to make sure you don't get too excited on the court, never get too high, never get too down, which maybe in the past I was too up and down," Murray said. "Needed to try and be a bit more stable on the court, not be so emotional.
"I'd say that's the one thing that I've learned from kind of being around him was that, like I explained after the match today, it wasn't like it was jumping around the locker room with excitement. It was, 'There's one more match to go. Well done today, but let's focus on the next one.'"
It was an afternoon of nervous energy, increasing pressure, personal triumph and nationalism. As Murray exhaled, British Broadcast Channel television cameras zoomed close-ups on the bronze statue of Fred Perry, the next piece of history Murray is trying to conquer and who was the last Brit to win Wimbledon, back in the stone age of 1936.
When Murray said he was playing for himself, it was apparent, for throughout the afternoon he played as he has played for years, trying to prove to himself that his talents will translate into championship deeds, regardless of the competition.
Murray was the superior player, the more precise player, but also the one who had to win after the departure of Rafael Nadal in the second round. The opportunity presented would never be so great.
Murray responded by being the steadier player, and in the end, his consistency simply overcame Tsonga. Murray hit 40 winners to 12 unforced errors, while Tsonga, an electric player prone to remarkable sunbursts but unforgivable lapses against the world's best, hit 47 winners but committed 42 unforced errors.
When the moment appeared perhaps too big for him, Tsonga rose, but belatedly. Throughout the fortnight, he had delivered on his promise to challenge for the championship here. After losing a heartbreaking quarterfinal match to Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros, Tsonga had played exceptional offensive tennis. He protected his serve and used movement and a vicious forehand to control the momentum of the point on his serve.
For the first two sets against Murray, however, Tsonga played defensively and without energy, employing a somewhat reckless serve-and-volley game that Murray dissected with pinpoint returns and a variety of passing shots. Tsonga came to net 76 times but converted just 53 percent of his opportunities.
Instead of stepping into his backhand as he did against Djokovic in Paris, Tsonga returned with passive, loose slice backhands, which gave Murray even more opportunities to control the point. Tactically, he played Murray as he might play a lesser player, such as Alexandr Dolgopolov, slicing back returns and expecting to capitalize on a mistake.
It is an approach that works against players who cannot be counted upon to make routine shots or maintain rallies, but it was a recipe for death against a player as precise and talented as Murray, who during this tournament has stepped on the accelerator whenever challenged, overpowering his opponents.
Tsonga is a player who relies on rhythm, on his terrific ebullience and crowd-pleasing showmanship. He plays as though he is a Class 5 river: calm in stretches, capable of ferocious sustained current in stretches that overwhelm opponents and make spectators take note of his force. He draws energy from his surroundings, and when the elements come together, he is a special performer.
"You know, I'm not the most talented on the tour, but I like to go to the war," Tsonga said after the match.
In the third and fourth, the energized, revitalized Tsonga appeared. He began moving his feet quickly, creating space and angle for the big forehand. He ripped backhands and made circus shots that took him back into the match.
The eighth game, however, was a microcosm of the Tsonga afternoon. A sailed volley, an ill-advised rush to the net, an ace and a missed volley set up double-break point for Murray. Tsonga survived, but he played the final games under a constant stream of pressure both of his and Murray's doing.
Serving 5-6, Tsonga yielded the first two points of the game, putting Murray two points away. At 15-30, another Tsonga rush to the net produced a backhand volley he drilled into the net, setting up double-match point -- a moment for which Murray's country had waited nearly three quarters of a century.
Against Murray, and obviously Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, Tsonga's streaky brilliance was exposed. Murray protected his second serve -- in the second set, Tsonga did not record a single point on Murray's second serve -- and he returned and shook off the demons that crept and gnawed and nearly forced a fifth set.
"Maybe it's too early to say what's happened today," Tsonga said. "But anyway, for me it was a good moment. Even in the loss, I'm still proud of what I did. Even if I did [make] some mistake and it was not good every time, I fight."
At the end of the day, Murray took advantage of every looping volley, every sprayed backhand and every unfocused moment from Tsonga and transformed it into fuel, fuel for a showdown with Federer. It will be a chance to turn Fred Perry, like he did to Bunny Austin Friday afternoon, away from a suffocating present and back to the quiet of history.

Some NBA Finals series come to an end with a sweep, while others go seven games. In each and in everything in between, there's a player whose performance in the closeout game is the turning point. Part of the reason the public is so interested still in the Oklahoma City-Miami series is because of LeBron James' reputation as a non-factor in "clutch" situations. This may be the most anticipated Game 5 of a 3-1 series ever — has there ever been a series this seemingly over that's still been considered as wide open?
Tonight could, once and for all, cement LeBron's legacy as a champion. Maybe it will prolong a great series, meaning another day will become the chance to see an all-time great closeout game. We'll see if it becomes a legendary performance on the level of these 10 closeout performances.
Game 6 over the Lakers was a blowout party at TD Garden, one ensured by Allen's huge night from behind the arc. While his performance was buttressed by Kevin Garnett's 26 points and 14 rebounds, Paul Pierce's 17 points and 10 rebounds and Rajon Rondo's 21 points, Allen was the king. The all-time three-point champion knocked down 7-of-9 from deep for 26 points in 32 minutes to seal another Boston title over L.A.
Coming all the way back from an 0-2 hole was going to be memorable no matter how it was accomplished. Wade, however, made sure his performance in Game 6 over Dallas morphed him from young star to league's elite. His 36 points, 10 boards, five assists, four steals and three blocks in a 95-92 win came in 45 minutes. He didn't shoot a three the entire game, choosing to drive at every opportunity. He got 21 free-throw attempts (Dallas as a whole had 23) out of it and made 16.Subscribe to UPROXX
A series that was closer than everyone remembers finished just as dominating as once thought. O'Neal was at his top beast form to drop the Pacers, 116-111, in Game 6 behind 41 points and 12 rebounds. He went on to win series MVP honors as the Lakers won their first title since 1988. Indiana had 29 points from Jalen Rose and 24 from Reggie Miller, but its inside presence of Rik Smits was a dull blade compared with O'Neal's unstoppable force. Can youuuu dig it?
The game after the Flu Game was nothing to snuff at, either. Jordan took down the Jazz in six games for his fifth title overall by dropping 39 points and 11 rebounds with just one turnover to win 90-86. Jordan's assist was the biggest play of the game, though. Instead of forcing a shot against a double team of Bryon Russell and John Stockton on the game's penultimate possession, he sucked in a second defender and kicked to a wide-open Steve Kerr for the insurance three.
Willis Reed's famous two buckets began this Game 7 after he walked onto the court with a limp and a stare that turned Wilt Chamberlain into a ghost. Once he walked off the court after his four points, however, it was Clyde's game. He scored 22 points in the first half and would shoot the Knicks to a 20-point lead. The game wasn't in doubt because of his maestro-like work by pouring in 36 points, 19 assists and seven rebounds in all. Reed and Frazier were the knockout bookends to this classic Game 7, the first of two titles for the Old Knicks in the 1970s.
In our 2012 tunnel vision we believe Rajon Rondo is what a playoff triple double means for the Celtics' franchise. Bird's, however, came in the most important game of the season, Game 6, to hold off the Houston Rockets, 114-97. He scored 29 points, with 11 rebounds and 12 assists in 46 minutes, and hit 11-of-12 from the free-throw line.
To beat the Lakers in Game 7 95-93, Russell had to have a huge game to offset Jerry West's 36-point, 10-rebound night. West, in a losing effort, would actually become series MVP, but Russell won another title behind this line: 25 points and 32 rebounds.
A series against the Detroit Bad Boys that went seven games was capped by a player worthy of a huge game. That is, you can count James Worthy's 36-point, 16-rebound, 10-assist masterpiece — in a tight, 108-105 win that needed every point — as perhaps the best closeout performance. Worthy played a game-high 44 minutes (Isiah Thomas played just 28) but didn't use all the time to score by volume: he shot 15-of-22 en route to the title at The Forum.
What makes this game stand out was the pure animosity between Detroit and L.A., a clash of styles — one of grace, one of grit — that placed this series in the public consciousness as less a basketball series but a referendum on the game itself. Detroit would get their titles later, of course, but Worthy — the old guard who represented the Lakers' transition brilliance — turning in this performance was perfect for the series it was.

Getting you more information on this room
I have been staying at this hotel the last 3 years. We usually love it. Beds are comfy, rooms are usually well taken care of. This time the room had a smell. The other people were loud and up all night. The place is falling apart and they need to update it, big time.
I do not expect a whole lot. I am an actual former hotel company employee with over 25 years service. I am quite aware of the different tiers of product, and am aware I elected a budget-oriented location. That being said, one of the things I do expect is the ability to have a satisfyingly hot shower. This location chooses...
Okay stay. Location is okay. Don't really have an issue with the place. Just for the price it could be nicer.
Good location for us to stay while visiting relatives that are in a care Center. The rooms are small but clean. The employees are nice and they are always working.
The breakfast food is good. The building is older than some other places but for us it is great for the price.
Hi my question is easy I have e mailed Mr Patel (contact name on hotels own booking form) 4 times regarding a booking in October 30th through to November 3rd the F 1 weekend, the booking says payment will be taken on the day of booking, 5 weeks later still no charge and no response to confirm my booking is valid.

As many of you know I handle room mates for the National Conventions
and I have been asked to handle room mates for the Median Convention in Lincoln, NE.
We are adding a twist to this effort this year. We are
going to pair up people who would like passengers to ride from Oklahoma
City to Lincoln
and people who want to ride along for the trip with people who are driving.
So you can fly into Oklahoma City and fly home
from Lincoln.
We can work on the details off line.
I will start this out by saying I am looking for Three
people to go from Oklahoma City to Lincoln.
Please send me your plan and requests and I will put you on
the list and I will try very hard to match you up..
Tell your friends and your Iris organizations too.

Murdered Innocence
An empty bottle of wine,
half a pack of cigarettes, smoked,
what started as a good time,
ended with death, choked.
Condoms lay unused,
clothing thrown around,
innocent soul left abused,
cold and stiff on the ground.
A chance meeting,
from a blind date,
leads to a beating,
stemmed from past hate.
A man mistreated as a child,
taught too many wrongs,
an anger grows too wild,
like words written in hateful songs.
Words of wisdom fail here,
hot blood has spilled,
motivation is not clear,
why a brilliant mind is killed.

Rumor: Apple's A11 SoC Reaches Tapeout at TSMC 10nm
Subject: Processors, Mobile | May 9, 2016 - 05:42 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: apple, a11, 10nm, TSMC
Before I begin, the report comes from DigiTimes and they cite anonymous sources for this story. As always, a grain of salt is required when dealing with this level of alleged leak.
That out of the way, rumor has it that Apple's A11 SoC has been taped out on TSMC's 10nm process node. This is still a little way's away from production, however. From here, TSMC should be providing samples of the now finalized chip in Q1 2017, start production a few months later, and land in iOS devices somewhere in Q3/Q4. Knowing Apple, that will probably align with their usual release schedule -- around September.
DigiTimes also reports that Apple will likely make their split-production idea a recurring habit. Currently, the A9 processor is fabricated at TSMC and Samsung on two different process nodes (16nm for TSMC and 14nm for Samsung). They claim that two-thirds of A11 chips will come from TSMC.
Yes it's Apple but OWC does good work, meet the Aura 1TB PCIe SSD
Subject: Storage | April 20, 2016 - 09:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: owc, apple, PCIe SSD, Aura, 1TB, mlc
It has been a while since we heard from OWC, over a year since Al saw their offerings at Storage Vision, so it is interesting to see a new PCIe SSD from them. Their days of Sandforce are over, two SMI 2246 XT 4-channel controllers are paired with a Marvell 9230 RAID controller which allows the four unbranded 256GB MLC flash chips to act as a 1TB RAID 0 drive. The SSD Reviews found the Macbook Air upgrade drive to run slightly slower than the original 256GB SSD but with quadruple the storage the slight slow down is offset by the extra space. Check out the Aura drive if you have a Mac in need of upgrade, or if you are simply interested in a tiny 1TB SSD.
"Because of its limited storage capacity and Apples horrendous cost for upgrades, it was very close to being replaced, at least until OWC contacted me a week ago asking if we might like to review their latest 1TB Aura PCIe SSD replacement for mid-2013 and later MacBooks."

QuickTime For Windows Apparently Won't Be Updated...
Subject: General Tech | April 15, 2016 - 06:37 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: apple, quicktime, Adobe
So TrendMicro has published a blog post that lists two unpatched vulnerabilities that affect QuickTime for Windows. Worse? They announced that Apple will no longer provide security updates for that software, either. These exploits will continue to exist until you uninstall the software (unless Apple has an abrupt change of heart). Basically, uninstall the software.
OSX users are unaffected. QuickTime is still supported on that platform.
For most users? This shouldn't be a big deal. There really isn't anything that the free QuickTime Player does which cannot be accomplished with VLC. Then again, I'd expect that many of those users (who would also be reading our website) have already moved on.
QuickTime Pro and Adobe users will likely be more affected by this. The formats and utilities that Apple provided are very useful in professional applications. For instance, QuickTime is one of the only reliable video formats (unless something came up that I was unaware of -- correct me if I'm wrong) that had an alpha channel for transparency. This allows you to share translucent footage between applications without resorting to some frame-by-frame solution, like a PNG sequence. It is also required to handle QuickTime footage in Adobe Premiere, if you need to collaborate with a Mac user or you have QuickTime-centric hardware.
This is mighty annoying of Apple, but that's a downside of relying upon proprietary software.
T'is but a flesh wound! The PC market shrinks by about 10% this Q1
Subject: General Tech | April 12, 2016 - 04:41 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Lenovo, apple, asus, market share, doom
That rustling you hear outside your door is the press getting ready to once again predict the impending doom of the PC industry, ready with bon mots describing how the world, including statisticians, engineers and animation creators will be using tablets for their work from now on. As is always the case, these doomsayers are vastly overstating their case, though this is not to say there are some hurdles facing the PC industry as a whole.
Windows 10 has failed to drive consumers to update their hardware, for a variety of reasons obvious to everyone but Gartner, IDC and Microsoft's marketing team. Intel's latest offerings have not provided a solid reason for enthusiasts to upgrade their machines and AMD is worryingly quiet lately. This has lead to a fall in sales compared to this time last year of between 9.6-11.5% depending on which of the two sources The Inquirer quoted you choose to believe is more accurate.
Apple and ASUS are the only two companies showing growth and a 1% increase is nothing you should brag about, even if you are beating the competition. Even Lenovo is seeing their sales shrink, to the tune of roughly 10%. There is new hardware slated to arrive soon and the falling price of M.2 and PCIe SSDs may provide some impetus for enthusiasts to pick up a new motherboard at the very least, so hopefully we will see this trend begin to reverse itself before the end of the year.
"Gartner's report said that PC shipments reached 64.8 million units in the first quarter of 2016, while IDC offered the more pessimistic figure of 60.6 million. This represents a decline of 9.6 per cent or 11.5 percent, depending on which figure you go on."

Hardware Experience
Seeing Ryan transition from being a long-time Android user over to iOS late last year has had me thinking. While I've had hands on with flagship phones from many manufacturers since then, I haven't actually carried an Android device with me since the Nexus S (eventually, with the 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade). Maybe it was time to go back in order to gain a more informed perspective of the mobile device market as it stands today.
So that's exactly what I did. When we received our Samsung Galaxy S7 review unit (full review coming soon, I promise!), I decided to go ahead and put a real effort forth into using Android for an extended period of time.
Full disclosure, I am still carrying my iPhone with me since we received a T-Mobile locked unit, and my personal number is on Verizon. However, I have been using the S7 for everything but phone calls, and the occasional text message to people who only has my iPhone number.
Now one of the questions you might be asking yourself right now is why did I choose the Galaxy S7 of all devices to make this transition with. Most Android aficionados would probably insist that I chose a Nexus device to get the best experience and one that Google intends to provide when developing Android. While these people aren't wrong, I decided that I wanted to go with a more popular device as opposed to the more niche Nexus line.
Whether you Samsung's approach or not, the fact is that they sell more Android devices than anyone else and the Galaxy S7 will be their flagship offering for the next year or so.

It's all in your Imagination; Apple is not on an expensive shopping trip
Subject: General Tech | March 22, 2016 - 06:39 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: apple, Imagination Technologies, rumours
Various sites have been abuzz this morning with rumours of Apple seeking to acquire the manufacturer of the PowerVR graphics chips they utilize, Imagination Technologies. Apple has now flatly denied this rumour; which means simply that they have denied that they are making an offer at this time. That makes sense regardless of the truth of the rumour, driving up the stock price makes the acquisition more expensive for Apple so a public denial makes financial sense whether they do plan to buy the company in the future.
It does make some sense to own your hardware provider and their patents, but it is not as advantageous as it once was. Many companies have found outsourcing their manufacturing to make more sense financially, preferring to buy out competitors to gain market share and patents instead. We will keep an eye out for any new developments but it does not seem likely that we will see a deal go through in the near future.
"From time to time, Apple talks with companies about potential acquisitions. We had some discussions with Imagination, but we do not plan to make an offer for the company at this time."

It's Easier to Be Convincing than Correct
This is a difficult topic to discuss. Some perspectives assume that law enforcement have terrible, Orwellian intentions. Meanwhile, law enforcement officials, with genuinely good intentions, don't understand that the road to Hell is paved with those. Bad things are much more likely to happen when human flaws are justified away, which is easy to do when your job is preventing mass death and destruction. Human beings like to use large pools of evidence to validate assumptions, without realizing it, rather than discovering truth.
Ever notice how essays can always find sources, regardless of thesis? With increasing amounts of data, you are progressively more likely to make a convincing argument, but not necessarily a more true one. Mix in good intentions, which promotes complacency, and mistakes can happen.
But this is about Apple. Recently, the FBI demanded that Apple creates a version of iOS that can be broken into by law enforcement. They frequently use the term "back door," while the government prefers other terminology. Really, words are words and the only thing that matters is what it describes -- and it describes a mechanism to compromise the device's security in some way.
This introduces several problems.
The common line that I hear is, "I don't care, because I have nothing to hide." Well... that's wrong in a few ways. First, having nothing to hide is irrelevant if the person who wants access to your data assumes that you have something you want to hide, and is looking for evidence that convinces themselves that they're right. Second, you need to consider all the people who want access to this data. The FBI will not be the only one demanding a back door, or even the United States as a whole. There are a whole lot of nations that trusts individuals, including their own respective citizens, less than the United States. You can expect that each of them would request a backdoor.
You can also expect each of them, and organized criminals, wanting to break into each others'.
Lastly, we've been here before, and what it comes down to is criminalizing math. Encryption is just a mathematical process that is easy to perform, but hard to invert. It all started because it is easy to multiply two numbers together, but hard to factor them. The only method we know is dividing by every possible number that's smaller than the square root of said number. If the two numbers are prime, then you are stuck finding one number out of all those possibilities (the other prime number will be greater than the square root). In the 90s, numbers over a certain size were legally classified as weapons. That may sound ridiculous, and there would be good reason for that feeling. Either way, it changed; as a result, online banks and retailers thrived.
Apple closes their letter with the following statement:
While we believe the FBI's intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products. And ultimately, we fear that this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.
Good intentions lead to complacency, which is where the road to (metaphorical) Hell starts.
So That's Where Jim Keller Went To... Tesla Motors...

Jim Keller, a huge name in the semiconductor industry for his work at AMD and Apple, recently left AMD before the launch of the Zen architecture. This made us nervous, because when a big name leaves a company before a product launch, it could either be that their work is complete... or they're evacuating before a stink-bomb detonates and the whole room smells like rotten eggs.
It turns out a third option is possible: Elon Musk offers you a job making autonomous vehicles. Jim Keller's job title at Tesla will be Vice President of Autopilot Hardware Engineering. I could see this position being enticing, to say the least, even if you are confident in your previous employer's upcoming product stack. It doesn't mean that AMD's Zen architecture will be either good or bad, but it nullifies the earlier predictions, when Jim Keller left AMD, at least until further notice.
We don't know who approached who, or when.
Another point of note: Tesla Motors currently uses NVIDIA Tegra SoCs in their cars, who are (obviously) competitors of Jim Keller's former employer, AMD. It sounds like Jim Keller is moving into a somewhat different role than he had at AMD and Apple, but it could be interesting if Tesla starts taking chip design in-house, to customize the chip to their specific needs, and take away responsibilities from NVIDIA.
The first time he was at AMD, he was the lead architecture of the Athlon 64 processor, and he co-authored x86-64. When he worked at Apple, he helped design the Apple A4 and A5 processors, which were the first two that Apple created in-house; the first three iPhone processors were Samsung SoCs.
Android to iPhone Day 31: Battery Life and Closing
Subject: Mobile | October 29, 2015 - 01:46 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: iphone 6s, iphone, ios, google, apple, Android, A9
PC Perspective's Android to iPhone series explores the opinions, views and experiences of the site's Editor in Chief, Ryan Shrout, as he moves from the Android smartphone ecosystem to the world of the iPhone and iOS. Having been entrenched in the Android smartphone market for 7+ years, the editorial series is less of a review of the new iPhone 6s as it is an exploration on how the current smartphone market compares to what each sides' expectations are.
Full Story Listing:
- Day 0: What to Expect
- Day 3: Widgets and Live Photos
- Day 6: Battery Life and Home Screens
- Day 17: SoC Performance
- Day 31: Battery Life and Closing
It has been too long since my last update to this story, and I promised a final answer when it comes to our view of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in terms of battery life. If you remember back to some of our previous posts, the iPhone 6s actually has a smaller battery in it than the previous iPhone 6 did; the same is true for the Plus model as well.
|Battery Size
|iPhone 6
|1810 mAh
|iPhone 6s
|1715 mAh
|iPhone 6 Plus
|2910 mAh
|iPhone 6s Plus
|2750 mAh
Clearly Apple knew that would be a contentious specification change from year to year, but the company has clearly done a lot to make sure it doesn't affect the battery life and usability of the iPhone. First, the new Apple A9 SoC is built on a smaller process technology; both Samsung and TSMC are making chips for the phones at 16nm and 14nm, and along with that process technology change comes an inherent power efficiency gain. Changing process nodes does not always magically make an existing architecture better performing or more efficient, but Apple's engineers are more than capable of being able to achieve that. After all, when you have unlimited funds and an edict never make a misstep, it helps.
The other change that came with the iPhone 6s and Plus is the move to iOS 9, which promises to improve battery and processing efficiency along the way. In the past, we have all heard rumors or had experiences with users of older phone models seeing decreased performance or decreased battery life when upgrading to the latest version of iOS. That may be the true, and I am not going to attempt to validate those claims here today, but it does make some sense that the latest OS would be tuned for the latest hardware.
If you're Apple, you don't want to have to make the battery in the new phones smaller than the old phones. It's a line item in a review that stands out to the general consumer - "WHAT? This year's model has a SMALLER battery??" - and could have a dramatic impact on sales and perception. But Apple also couldn't make the new phone any thicker as the same immediate response would take place. In order to add in support for the new 3D Touch and Taptic Engine technology the phones had to sacrifice a bit of space behind the screen. The result is a slightly thinner, and smaller capacity, battery.
Image source: iFixit iPhone 6s Teardown
But let's talk about usability. In several instances in this series of editorials I have mentioned my extremely positive impressions from battery life in my normal use. The phone just seems to last longer than my Motorola Droid Turbo did, even with the Droid Turbo's much larger (3000 mAh) battery. Apple's control over the operating system, and to some extent the amount of interaction and capability that third party applications have, allows them to do more with less. And as a result you can drastically improve surrounding experiences: phone size, weight, design, included hardware features, etc.
There have definitely been days where my iPhone 6s would have been dead before I made it to my bed had I not had an external battery with me. But those were always extreme cases and include little to no service at a camp ground with the family, a wedding where I took hundreds of photos and videos, a 7am to 2am day where we had a site maintenance issue and I was on the phone (yes, talking!) for several hours in total. I don't think there is a scenario of use where the Android devices I have had would ever surpass the battery life of the iPhone 6s. And that's an impressive feat all things considered.
But like many of you reading this, I like hard numbers. Data, graphs and empirical results. To get some numbers I ran the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus through our standard PC Perspective Wi-Fi Battery testing process. We have a custom site that allows us to cycle through legit, real websites in a cycle of 20, pausing and scrolling on each to closely simulate how a user would surf.
The biggest winner here is the iPhone 6s Plus, pulling in nearly 9 hours of continuous use in our web browsing test. The OnePlus 2, with a battery size of 3,300 mAh, can't keep up with the flagship iPhone product of the class of form factor, able to muster only 7.5 hours of use, a full 20% less than the 6s Plus. The iPhone 6s, using the same Apple A9 processor, pulls in than 6.6 hours of battery life in our Wi-Fi test, more than 1.5 hours more than the LG G4, one of the flagship Android phones of this past summer.
It's not exhaustive, but I think the results speak clearly about where the iPhone 6s stands in the current smartphone ecosystem. It has outstanding battery life, though there are plenty of rival Android phones on market currently that could match it. The key difference is that Apple is able to do it with less physical battery, and thus make a sleeker device. Seeing the added battery life of the iPhone 6s Plus does make me wonder if I would be willing to sacrifice my pockets for the extra security it offers. What I really want though is an iPhone 6s that is a bit thicker, offering up the same level of battery capacity as the larger phone. I know many users would be willing to swap the cache of sexy iPhone industrial design for the ability to make last call without a wall plug completely reliably.
Wrapping up the Experiment
It's been just over 30 days now in my Android to iPhone experiment, so the big question needs to be answered: will I be sticking with the iPhone 6s or going back to one of the newer Android devices like the refresh Nexus phones?
The Apple iPhone 6s will stay in my pocket.
Honestly, the answer surprises me - I did not expect this result when I placed the order button on Apple.com those many weeks ago. I have always been a proponent of the openness of Android, the flexibility that offered in terms of applications and OS access, but at the end of the day, I'm just a person using a phone. I have had only one instance of a crash/lock up on the iPhone 6s in my usage and it is reliably fast and responsive, something that eventually faded on the Droid Turbo. The camera takes fantastic photos, the application ecosystem offers more range than the Google Play Store and the global integration of Touch ID makes using LastPass less frustrating, accessing my eTrade bank accounts quicker and much more. Those are just some of the reasons for the switch for me.
I don't propose that everyone should make the same move. If you are a power user that likes to root your phones and change Android ROMs, you won't really find the same level of support for that on iPhones. If you welcome side-loading applications easily to your device (which is something I do miss) for development or experimenting purposes, Android is still the way to go. But it's hard to see the majority of the consumer base of smartphones in this country using both devices for extended periods and not see Apple as the more polished and friendly experience. That's what happened to me.
I look forward to trying out the upcoming Android phones in the near term and I won't ever say that I won't be switching back. Google continues to push the OS development further and offers features sometimes years of ahead of Apple. I'm working on getting both a 6P and 5X Nexus phone to try out; I'm curious to see how the implementation of the fingerprint sensor and improve cameras might shift my view.
And who knows, maybe in early 2016 we'll see a revamped editorial series going back to Android, or even Windows Phone? Easy now, don't get crazy Ryan.

Medigap is the official name applied to healthcare policies usually called Medicare Supplements. The Medigap Plans cover the gaps in Original coverage that aren't covered by Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B and are made to fit with Medicare like a key fits into a lock.
Medigap Insurance is not an stand-in for standard Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Plan, instead it works with standard Medicare. Plus, Medigap Plans differ from Medicare Advantage since they have no co-pays, no deductibles, and no issues with being "in nework" that could impede you healing when you can't see the right doctor.

Masking and Power by Gerard Aching
Book DescriptionDoes the mask reveal more than it conceals? What, this book asks, becomes visible and invisible in the masking practiced in Caribbean cultures -- not only in the familiar milieu of the carnival but in political language, social conduct, and cultural expressions that mimic, misrepresent, and mislead? Focusing on masking as a socially significant practice in Caribbean cultures, Gerard Aching's analysis articulates masking, mimicry, and misrecognition as a means of describing and interrogating strategies of visibility and invisibility in Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Martinique, and beyond.Masking and Power uses ethnographic fieldwork, psychoanalysis, and close literary readings to examine encounters between cultural insiders as these locals mask themselves and one another either to counter the social invisibility imposed on them or to maintain their socioeconomic privileges. Aching exposes the ways in which strategies of masking and mimicry, once employed to negotiate subjectivities within colonial regime, have been appropriated for state purposes and have become, with the arrival of self-government in the islands, the means by which certain privileged locals make a show of national and cultural unity even as they engage in the privatization of popular culture and its public performances.

>Words cannot express its beauty.
I knew it would get you folks drooling! :)
But I can not take credit for growing it. This is yet another totally
amazing seedling that Harald Mathes has developed. Lowell Baumunk posted
the first photo several days ago, and then Harald sent me this one shortly
afterwards. He is creating some truly amazing irises. And I only wish I
could have them too!!
For those that don't know him, Harald Mathes is a hybridizer in Germany.
And a really nice guy too!
But this T-99-1 seedling still has me swooning. I just can't get over that
amazing orange pattern, and how it flows down into the dark signal spot.
TOTALLY unlike anything I've seen before. It is pollen fertile as it set
pods on other flowers. But I don't think it has been registered or
introduced yet.
