 Look,
this has nothing to do with films that air on cable television without commercial interruption. And
it's even hard for me to rant against films that air on television with commercial
interruption because this is the way it's been done for many years now. I can deal with that. I
have a DVR, I can record films that air on, say, NBC, and fast forward through the commercials.
Sure, from time to time I'll stumble across a flick like Lord of the
Rings: Return of the King on TNT HD, become sucked in because Peter Jackson created three
awesome movies, and have to deal with commercials since I never recorded it. This happened to me
yesterday.
But what I didn't sign up for was to watch some stupid character from whatever random television
show drop down the middle of my television screen and start waving at me during a key scene in the
film. Oh yes, from out of nowhere this guy swings right down the middle of the screen where he
meets some girl and -- whaddya know -- it's an advertisement for another TNT show airing later in
the week. Thanks. Because it's bad enough they have to interrupt these films with five-or-so
minutes of advertisements, but now they're advertising things DURING THE FREAKING MOVIE.
I got over the watermark in the lower corner because they've since made them a bit more translucent
(though MTV is notorious for covering up dialogue on the bottom of the screen with their stupid
watermark). But this ... I simply cannot get over. I've noticed these little miniature characters
walk on the screen during films and TV shows on both TNT and TBS, and I'm not sure who else is at
fault but it needs to stop now. It's literally so irritating that I've banned TNT and TBS in my
apartment. Not watching either station until they lose the stupid ads. Please join me.

Clearwire said
today that it has closed several transactions that will allow it to build out a nationwide
WiMAX network, including gaining control of Sprint’s Xohm network and a $3.2 billion
investment from several large companies. These
deals were announced in May, and despite the downturn that has pummeled stocks since then,
the terms of the deal have not changed. The new nationwide WiMAX service will be branded Clear.
Clearwire received the $3.2 billion investment from Comcast, Intel, Time Warner Cable, Google and
Bright House Networks. The cable providers will also resell the WiMAX service, even hinting that
they will integrate wireless into some of their other broadband and entertainment offerings, much
like AT&T and Nokia each hope
to do. Sprint will also resell access to its current 3G network to the newly created Clear,
paving the way for dual-mode 3G and 4G devices that will ensure that WiMAX devices work even
where there’s no WiMAX network. This will be important in signing up mobile users. Below
are other important bits from the call:
-
Baltimore,
Md., and Portland, Ore., will be the first cities to go online, with no mention of Chicago
and Dallas which were to go live under Sprint’s Xohm brand soon.
- Clearwire CEO Ben Wolff says most of the $3.2 billion investment will go toward building out
the nationwide network. Many of the pre-WiMAX markets that currently have Clearwire service will
get Clear service in 2009.
- Wolff also said that Clearwire is building the Clear network with equipment that can also be
used for LTE deployments, meaning if LTE becomes necessary, Clearwire can upgrade its network more easily.
- Barry West, the former CTO of Sprint Nextel and head of the Xohm efforts, will become
president and chief architect of Clearwire.
- Atish Gude, formerly senior vice president of Sprint’s XOHM mobile broadband
operations, is now senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Clearwire.
- First products on the market are embedded WiMax chips in laptops and USB modems, but by
mid-2009 consumers will see more mobile Internet devices, MP3 players and other consumer
electronics that can run on the Clear WiMAX network.
- The Clear network should provide customers with average download speeds initially of 2-4
megabits per second and peak rates that are considerably faster.
- Clearwire now has 100 MHz or more of 4G spectrum in most markets across the U.S.

The Federal Communications Commission is expected to
address the issue of creating a nationwide, filtered broadband network at its Dec. 18 meeting
according to the Wall Street Journal. That gives that meeting the potential to be as
controversial as the one held last month on election day. The November meeting approved two
mergers and created the potential for
free wireless spectrum over the protests of broadcasters. This upcoming meeting could create
free, licensed wireless spectrum in the AWS-3 band, ticking off T-Mobile,
which paid $4 billion to lease the adjacent AWS-1 spectrum.
The FCC had issued a rule making on the topic back in June with a proposal that would create two
tiers of wireless Internet service in the 2155-2175 MHz spectrum band. The lowest tier would
provide free wireless broadband for the 100 million Americans who don’t have access to
broadband right now, and a carrier would sell access to the faster tier for all comers. The rule
making was similar to a proposal created by
the Kleiner-backed startup M2Z Networks, which had asked the FCC to give it the spectrum for
free.
Originally, the FCC had talked about filtering that free wireless network to rid it of
objectionable content for everyone, but in October, when the FCC issued a report saying that such
a network
wouldn’t interfere with T-Mobile’s network, a spokesman for the regulatory agency
said the filtering provisions would only be aimed at children. That could stop some consumer
advocates from protesting the FCC actions, but it won’t stop T-Mobile, which shows no signs
of backing down, even though its efforts to stop the proposal on the grounds that it will
interfere with the T-Mobile network have failed.
At the meeting, the Commission is also expected to take up the issue of a la carte cable, as well
as cable providers’ tactic of switching some formerly basic channels to a higher service
tier — in effect raising the price for service for some subscribers, angering consumers and
content providers. Much like the outgoing Bush administration is striving to issue its own rules
before the changing of the guard, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is attempting to make his mark on the
nation’s communications
before his exit.

pKevin Martin, the outgoing FCC chairman, has pushing for a controversial free wireless internet
plan, as part of the agency's plan for the next slate of spectrum auction, a

title="reports WSJ"reports WSJ/a. At its December meeting, FCC wants to put forth a plan to offer
free, adult-material-free wireless Internet service to all Americans, despite objections from the
wireless industry and some consumer advocacy groups. The plan involves that the winning spectrum
bidder set aside a quarter of the airwaves for this free service, and would also charge for a
faster wireless Internet connection. The free service could be slower and would be required to
filter out pornography and other material not suitable for children, the story says. The consumer
groups object to the filtering part, for which FCC has a runaround: adults could opt out of the
filter and access all Internet sites. /p p FCC could also discuss some other digital-media related
plans, including the evergreen-debate of cable unbundling. The agency has however shelved plans to

Mac Forums - iPod touch -
12 hours and 24 minutes ago
I inadvertently went afoul of Apple's submission policy by submitting the contents of a bug report
to the forums (apparently you can't do that).
I've reposted the full post here (I'm hopeful it might be useful to other with similar issues).
My personal opinion is that much of the "preparing to backup" issues are related to 2 things.
1) Very slow transfer speeds between computers and the TC. Specifically wireless network transfer
is very slow. There is something seriously wrong here. It doesn't appear to be universal (in fact I
myself had it working fairly well for over a month). I wonder if we can't figure out the
combination of factors that lead to poor performance. I tried a number of things (see below), but I
wasn't able to get at a root cause. restarting (physically taking power from the TC) seems to help
for a while.
2) A backup algorithm that reads enormous amounts of data over the wireless network (from TC to
Computer). (for example in one case I read 2.5 gigabytes of data in order to determine we needed to
back up 18 megabytes)
Eventually I gave up on wireless, and ran a 1000baseT network cable to my iMac -- Time machine
seems to be working just fine now.
The combination of these things leads many users to hours of frustration.
If anyone out there with a bit more network savvy than me can confirm theses findings (and perhaps
indicate what the heck time machine is doing while it is preparing to backup), maybe we can file a
few more reports for the engineering team to look at.
(While writing this, I noticed my 18 megabyte backup had "finished" -- That is, had gotten to 18
out of 18 megabytes, but is still processing. While "still processing" it has transferred another
300 megabytes of data from the TC to the computer)
One other interesting fact -- I did all the testing of time machine with spotlight turned off (that
is the main hard drive excluded from spotlight). After I got it working directly connected to the
mac (not over wireless), I re-enabled spotlight.
While it was re-building it's index, I noticed a rather significant amount of network traffic. I
don't believe spotlight indexes network drives (at least you can't exclude them in the privacy
pane).
I'm thinking that spotlight and time machine are somehow related. I've seen cases where when time
machine is running, spotlight is re-indexing. If this drives significant network traffic then the
wireless network performance will introduce long delays into the backup (and likely expose other
defects -- I doubt apple engineers thought that backups would end up taking 10's of hours just to
do the prepare stage.
Mike
---
I've had increasing difficulties getting the time capsule to work with time machine.
I see failures
1) preparing to backup takes forever.
a) Deep node traversal that never ends
b) Waiting for index that never ends.
2) Very very slow wireless networking speeds. I'm seeing speeds of about 2Mbits per second over
wireless. That seems quite slow.
I've done an "archive and install" and wiped my time capsule clean to start over. The initial
backup went fine, but subsequent updates got me back into this state.
I've tried disabling spotlight (as well as re-doing the spotlight index) but to no avail.
I've also "fixed" any permissions problems that might exist.
Regarding the wireless bandwidth, I've checked my Signal to Noise ratio (I'm about 30DB, which is
in a reasonable range), I've tried G, N and B, 5ghz, as well as 2.4 ghz. Performance was always the
same. I've disabled WDS.
I believe that some of the "preparing to backup" problems are related to the amount of data that
has to be transferred (or that is being transferred) between the TC and the Mac. For example, I've
been "preparing to backup" for about 30 minutes and I'm seeing sustained incoming rates of around
800 KBytes per second (I'm on 1000 base T, no longer wireless), and outgoing rates of about
100KBytes per second.
Note I haven't actually gotten to the part where it copies files to the time machine yet. In the
course of "preparing" to back up, it has copied over 1.6 gigabytes of data from the TC.
(brief update, while writing this, I transitioned to backup up data (I have 18.7 MB to back up, and
it ultimately transferred 2.5 gigabytes over the network. That's seriously messed up)
I'm not sure what exactly it is doing, but either it is caught in an infinite loop, or it is
copying too much data to determine what to back up. (Note: Not an infinite loop, it did
finish).

Hi guys,
So I spent 100 bucks on a top of the line Griffin FM Transmitter for my touch. i'm sure you know
how it works: one end plugs into cigarette lighter in car and other goes into ipod. you tune into
the frequency it sugggests and bobs your uncle. I tried it out. Here's what i like:
1. ability to change tracks without touching the ipod. it has buttons on the cigarette lighter
charger piece to let you do thid.
2. it charges the touch
3. It has good cable length so if i have saved a road map on my touch, i can bring it up to face
level and have a quick look at directions
a little dissapointed with
1. i had a 4 year old ipod mini before the touch and used it in the car with a cheap 5 buck casette
adaptor from china. The sound quality of this is better then the fm transmitter. There is just more
oomph from it. The car has a good stereo system and i am 99.9% sure my fm transmitter is in perfect
working order (i.e. not a fault one)
In your experience, do casette adaptors provide better sound quality then wireless fm
transmitters?
I am still gonna use the fm transmitter over the casette simply because i can change tracks without
touching the ipod. And when i have a passenger in car i will use the casette adaptor so they can
change track on the touch
Thanks
Sonny
ps. don't reply with "what is a cassette" cos you will make me feel really old :p

The sales of cable modems declined 32 percent in the third quarter of 2008 to $246 million,
according to research firm Infonetics Research. In comparison, $360 million worth of cable modems
were sold in the second quarter of 2008. One way to interpret this is as yet another data set
pointing to a severe slowdown in demand for broadband across the board. We had earlier pointed
out that the economic problems were impacting U.S. communications companies, especially those
with exposure to hot housing markets. No wonder UBS analyst Nikos Theodosopoulos is projecting
global service provider spending will go down by as much as 10 percent in 2009.
Any slowdown could be bad news for gear makers like Arris, which provides broadband gear to
companies like Comcast. At a recent UBS telecom conference Robert Stanzione, Chairman and CEO of
Arris, said his “key growth opportunities going into 2009 will be largely centered around
DOCSIS 3.0 deployments,” along with sales in the international markets. The company felt
that the cable capex could be flat or down net year, but Stanzione said Arris will do well
anyway, because it thinks DOCSIS 3.0 will be key priority for cable companies and they will spend
on it.
Not so fast. Infonetics analyst Jeff Heynen thinks that with consumers holding onto their purses
tightly, the cable companies might slow the rollout of DOCSIS 3.0 wideband services, as “it
remains to be seen whether consumers will want to upgrade their broadband connections when
budgets are already strained.”

D3X/strong no puede presumir de valores fuera de lo común, pero la empresa ha decidido
asegurar en un margen de entre 100 y 1600 span class="caps"ISO/span, pudiendo optar por otros
valores de 50, 3200 y 6400 en modo forzado. Y si hablamos de velocidad a la hora de tomar fotos,
con este nuevo modelo podemos hacer hasta 5 fotos por segundo cuando optamos por ópticas
