005.18.12 Mad Men Style: The Drapers and the Francises

to wondrous — Tags:  

Had Betty even the slightest inkling as to how this evening was going to go, you can bet she never would have worn this large, sturdy coat. When you think of Betty from the first 3 seasons, you remember an incredibly stylish young wife and mother, but here, she’s dressing in a more standard suburban-housewife style of the period. She looks both older than her age and larger than she actually is. We could say this all represents her state of mind, but the fact of the matter is, women over a certain size and over a certain age had little in the way of style options. This was the uniform, like it or not, and it was expected to span a range of ages from the late 20s to the late 50s.

Interesting :P Once you get it up and running, let me know. I already have many pictures and an expansive story thought up for the Dark Lord of the Dead.

The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man’s life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.

And this facility is offered when the people depend on quick payday loans that are helpful in all the possible way for the salary-based folks. These loans are fit for the salaried people because they pay back the amount on the time. Therefore, the jobbers are given the first priority by the lender.

005.15.12 How To Raise A $1M Seed Round

to wondrous — Tags:  

moneyWhen I talk to my friends who are not currently at startups, or the Silicon Valley, the perception is that VCs and individual investors are throwing around investment dollars like drunken sailors. Outsiders think that there is a bubble, and that any company with two engineers and an idea will get funded (though there is some truth to that in certain cases). The reality is, competition has never been fiercer for startups, especially at the seed stage, to close a round. The pendulum may have swung for Y-Combinator companies, but not everyone else.

005.14.12 Jawbone Big Jambox

to wondrous  

Last year, headset vet Jawbone stepped into the wireless speaker market with the Jambox ($199.99, 3.5 stars), a portable Bluetooth speaker that doubles as a speakerphone accessory. Now, the company is taking the idea and making it bigger with the Big Jambox ($299.99 direct), a larger, heavier, and more-powerful speaker. For $100 more, it bumps the Jambox up from a good portable personal speaker to one that could easily drive a small party or handle a conference call for a large group. The sound quality isn’t quite as clear and robust as what you get with the Editors’ Choice Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker ($299.95, 4 stars), but a long battery life and a handy speakerphone feature make the Big Jambox a top choice if you’re looking for a wireless speaker to take with you.

Design
Like the Jambox before it, the Big Jambox is a blocky brick of a speaker. It measures 3.6 by 10.1 by 3.2 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.2 pounds, dwarfing the Jambox ‘s 6.0 by 2.2 by 1.6 inches and 12 ounces. (In the photo below, the original Jambox is on the left.) Available in red, black, or white, the speaker is surrounded by a metal grille, and slightly rubberized panels on the left and right sides help protect it in transit. It features most of its controls on its top side, including Playback and Volume buttons along with a Jawbone button for accessing various smart features including voice dialing and battery status. The right side holds a Power button and button for Bluetooth pairing, plus a 3.5mm output, microUSB port, and a power plug connector.

Pairing a smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth device with the Big Jambox is simple. When you first turn on the speaker it will automatically enter pairing mode, and after you’ve paired it with one device you can pair it with additional devices by holding the pairing button. You can also connect an audio device directly to the Big Jambox through the 3.5mm input with the included cable. The microUSB port is solely for updating the Big Jambox’s software, since unlike the Jambox, which charged via USB, it has a dedicated power jack and AC adapter. As a Bluetooth device, the range of the speaker is about 30 feet. According to Jawbone, the Big Jambox can last up to 15 hours on a single charge, much longer than, say, the Bose SoundLink, which is rated to last eight hours at moderate listening levels. I ran all of my tests on the Big Jambox, and after three days it still said the battery is “about full.” It actually said that. Pressing the Jambox button summons a female robotic voice that can tell you battery status.

Performance
The Big Jambox sounds clear, and its larger size and more power lets it get much louder than the Jambox. I filled the 5,000-square-foot PC Lab with music by cranking the volume to max, and while my fellow editors preferred “Bye Bye Birdie” to Glenn Benton, most everyone heard both the show tunes and death metal. Vocals and strings sounded crisp but slightly bright, and midrange notes were full and accurate.

Our bass test track, The Knife’s “Silent Shout,” sounded deep and forceful. The low end sounded slightly crunchy, and other bass-heavy songs like the Beastie Boys’ “Shake Your Rump” distorted slightly when the volume was turned up to maximum level. The Big Jambox is still a portable speaker, though, so don’t expect driving sound to rock a room. It can deliver music to a small party, but it won’t compete with a larger iPod dock or a full sound system.

In my test calls with an Apple iPhone 4S, voice call quality was clear, and the 360-degree microphone and larger size of the Big Jambox make it great for conference calls. Voices are picked up by the speaker easily at normal levels, and callers can be heard very loudly with the volume turned up.?

The Jawbone Big Jambox doesn’t quite deliver the power and clarity of our Editors’ Choice wireless portable speaker, the Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker, and it’s three times more expensive than some other wireless options like the Logitech Mini Boombox ($99.99, 4 stars), but it works well as a speakerphone and boasts a long battery life, which is key for a portable speaker. The Beats By Dre Beatbox Portable ($449.95, 3.5 stars) offers stronger audio quality given its larger size, but it requires six D-cell batteries to be portable. If you value flexibility over audiophile-grade sound quality, the Big Jambox should be at the top of your list.

005.12.12 HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint review

to wondrous — Tags:

HTC is on a roll in the US, first releasing the One S for T-Mobile and the One X for AT&T. Now, with the EVO 4G LTE on Sprint, it’s ready to shift to the CDMA realm in a different costume. Internally, it’s incredibly close to what’s offered in the One series’ flagship, but the Now Network has made a few tweaks to the device so it’ll adjust to life as the latest smartphone in the fabled EVO lineup. This time it’s packing a powerful processor, gorgeous display and the ability to connect to the still-dormant LTE. It’s eager to show its face in retail stores beginning May 18th for $200, placing it in the high end of Sprint’s selection.

This review, however, is just a bit different from any we’ve done before. How so? To our knowledge, we’ve never done one in New Orleans before. But when a phone gets dropped in our lap at CTIA 2012, we’re naturally going to put it through its paces, regardless of location. As it shares so many commonalities with its One brethren, we’ve been expecting a very similar fit, feel and performance. In our review, we’ll take you through what’s different and what’s better or worse. Is this the best device to grace the hands of Sprint customers? Follow us past the break to find out.

005.11.12 Hasan Minhaj, Indian Comedian, Mocks Ashton Kutcher Popchips Ad

to wondrous — Tags:  


Simply put, yes, the Ashton Kutcher Popchips ad was racist and offensive and deserved to be taken down.

That’s the general message sent in the following video by Hasan Minhaj, an Indian comedian who says in the missive to Kutcher in the missive:

“You have a sh-tty accent and you’re not even being racist correctly. Okay, look. Maybe Popchips didn’t consciously want to offend minorities. But subconsciously they knew they could get away with clowning Indians and Asians. Because that’s the way it is now. They wouldn’t do that with any other ethnicity.”

While making some funny jokes, Minhaj goes on to make some solid points, saying examples such as this paint Indians “in a little box.” Watch and react now:

005.10.12 Algeria opposition bastion Kabylie to shun vote

to wondrous — Tags:  

In Algeria‘s proud Kabylie region, a traditional opposition stronghold, few entertain any hope that Thursday’s polls can spur a democratic uprising, and voters are a rare and discreet breed.

“I’m not going to vote, that’s for sure,” said Lamine, who sells air conditioners in Tizi Ouzou, a city of around 150,000 nestled in the green hills rolling down from the snow-capped Djurdjura mountains to the Mediterranean.

“And in this part of the country, I don’t think the minority who plan to vote will shout about it from the rooftops,” said 29-year-old who is more comfortable speaking French or Tamazight than Arabic.

Kabyles are a large non-Arab Berber community and, while they resent the term Arab Spring, they were at the forefront of the protest movement that briefly erupted in the wake of Tunisia’s revolution last year.

President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has trumpeted the May 10 legislative vote as a historic democratic overture but many Kabyles argue that the reforms only tightened the regime’s grip on the country and see a boycott as the only option.

“We only had the birth pangs of a revolution last year. It aborted because of government manipulation and propaganda and because the Algerian people have seen enough violence,” said Ahcene Djema, a local law student.

“But support for a boycott is overwhelming among the students and when a father cannot provide for his family, the situation is not tenable. It won’t be too long before something happens,” said Djema, also a political activist.

One of the two main parties with strong Kabyle roots, the Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD), has campaigned for a boycott on Thursday, arguing that any semblance of trust in the institutions was gone.

“Amid the ongoing electoral sham, Algerian men and women are convinced more than ever that the institutions, as crafted by the regime, cannot be a suitable platform for them to express their grievances,” Atmane Mazouz, the head of the RCD’s parliamentary group, told reporters on Monday.

Turnout hit a record low in the previous legislative election in 2007 with an official figure of 35 percent but many Algerians and observers predict it will slump even lower on Thursday.

While Mazouz and 18 other RCD lawmakers will not seek to keep their seats in the national assembly, the election sees the return of another opposition party traditionally well grounded in Kabylie.

After a 10-year boycott over fraud accusations, the Socialist Forces Front (FFS), Algeria’s oldest opposition group, took the unexpected decision earlier this year to return to the fray and contest Thursday’s polls.

“There are forces that did everything they could to demonise the parties and discredit the election,” said FFS spokesman Chafai Bouaiche.

He says the people “trust the FFS because it did not take part in the government” but the decision to enter such a controversial election appears to have taken the party’s own base by surprise.

Tizi Ouzou residents say longtime FFS supporters were just as zealous as others in tearing down campaign posters in a town where youths overran the motorway Tuesday in a bid to block trucks delivering ballot boxes.

Many consider voting a betrayal of their decades-old struggle for a secular democracy and recognition of their cultural identity.

A famous Kabyle singer, Takfarinas, had to issue a contrite apology on Facebook after an appearance on state Algerian television in which he urged people to vote triggered furious reactions from his fans.

Hocine Ait Ahmed, the historical leader of the FFS, announced his party’s decision to contest the polls from Geneva, where he has lived for years, but did not return to Algeria to fire up the campaign.

The party spokesman himself admitted “the decision to take part is tactical because we don’t believe in this national assembly” and has had to fight off persistent suspicion that the FFS struck a backroom deal with the regime.
