HTC EVO 4G LTE (Sprint)

Written by  on May 20, 2012 Categories: kudos Tags:

The most powerful Sprint cell phone?(but just by a nose), the HTC EVO 4G LTE ($199.99) is both fabulous and frustrating. It has a powerful processor, the best camera on Sprint, and a long list of great little convenience features that make it our Editors’ Choice for a Sprint phone. But not knowing where Sprint is installing 4G LTE is getting old.

Physical Features and Call Quality
The EVO 4G LTE ?is a large, slim phone at 5.3 by 2.7 by .35 inches (HWD) and 4.7 ounces. The front is a typical black slab, dominated by a 4.7-inch, 1,280-by-720 Super LCD screen. It’s bright and not PenTile, if such things matter to you, and colors are a bit less saturated than on OLED screens.

The back is a little more controversial. The bottom half is anodized matte black, all well and good. But above that you have a bright red stripe, a glossy black panel and a red ring around the 8MP camera; I’ve heard that called garish, but it doesn’t bother me. The red stripe flips out to become a metal kickstand. The black panel at top snaps off to reveal a microSD memory card slot, and the camera’s actual lens is recessed so it won’t scratch. In any case, this feels like a premium device, and it’s considerably slimmer than the LG Viper ($99, 4 stars) or the Samsung Galaxy Nexus ($199, 4 stars).

The phone is closely related to HTC’s One X for AT&T ($199, 4.5 stars) and One S for T-Mobile?($199, 4.5 stars), but has some Sprint customizations. For more on that, read “Why the EVO 4G LTE isn’t an HTC One X .”

The EVO 4G LTE is the first U.S. phone with HD voice calling, but that’s impossible to test right now. Sprint says HD Voice will come online in early 2013. As a regular standard-def voice phone, the EVO is very good, although I like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus a touch more. The EVO is certainly loud enough, with a bassy voice quality that verges on (but doesn’t achieve) muddiness and no side tone. Transmissions had decent noise cancellation, but voices with background noise became a bit computery and distant. I had no problem triggering voice dialing through Bluetooth, but the voice dialing wasn’t very accurate.

Battery life was acceptable on CDMA, at 6 hours and 22 minutes of talk time. That said, it’s unclear how battery life will fare when LTE is in the mix, but I’m encouraged by the relatively large 2000mAh battery.

The Irritating Mystery of Sprint LTE
For now, the EVO 4G LTE runs solely on Sprint’s nationwide CDMA EVDO 3G network, which is a lot like driving a 365hp Ford Taurus SHO solely on narrow side-roads with traffic. According to our Fastest Mobile Networks 2011?report, Sprint had the slowest nationwide 3G network, with average download speeds of 480kbps. If it helps, I got consistently faster 3G speeds on the EVO than on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the same location, though none of them were worth trumpeting about.

This is called the EVO 4G LTE, right? Sprint has so far only announced six cities for LTE service: Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, and San Antonio. The carrier has also said it will cover 120 million Americans with LTE by the end of 2012, but steadfastly refuses to say which 120 million Americans.

So if you pick up a Sprint LTE phone now, you might be speeding along on fast 4G LTE soon. You might have to wait until 2013. Until then, it’s a good thing this has Wi-Fi, supporting 802.11 b/g/n networks, excitingly including the faster and less crowded 5GHz band.

Processor and Apps
The EVO 4G LTE is packing the most powerful processor available in a U.S. phone today: the 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm S4. We’ve benchmarked the S4 against Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3, and they’re pretty much a wash. The Tegra 3 has more cores, but each Qualcomm core is faster, using a newer 28nm process compared with Nvidia’s 40nm.

Handsets based on this chip deliver the best overall performance benchmarks we’ve seen from Android phones, and the Chrome browser running on Android 4.0 is a huge leap faster than previous Android browser versions. Games should also run well here, with the Nenamark graphics benchmark topping out at 58fps.

You get Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” with HTC’s Sense 4.0 extensions here. They include attractive widgets and relatively little bloatware (a lot of HTC’s old apps are gone), and they fold Facebook and Twitter back into your contact book where they belong. That said, HTC’s look is busier than the very spare stock Android look on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Different strokes for different folks.

Google Play offers up more than 400,000 Android apps, and all the ones I tried ran well on the EVO. The only thing you might miss are the few dozen high-end games exclusive to Nvidia’s Tegra phones. The EVO integrates NFC and supports Google Wallet.

Microsoft Bing (Spring 2012)

Written by  on  Categories: kudos Tags: , ,

It’s undeniable that Google does a great job at quickly providing useful Web links and more. Yet I’m often surprised at how unwilling people are to even experiment with another search site. Underdog Bing from software veteran Microsoft has been innovating and offering its own twist on this central Internet activity since 2009. It’s gotten to the point where most people would probably not even notice if you switched search-engine results on them, and blind search tests and some other studies point to Bing delivering preferred results.

The site has not been without its successes: According to Experian and comScore, Bing has overtaken Yahoo as the number-two search engine. Of course, Bing’s search technology now powers Yahoo, so you could add that sites numbers, putting Bing-powered US share at about 30 percent versus Google’s 65 percent.

The highlight of Bing’s latest attempt to win favor over Google is its new integration of social networking with search. But the service’s designers are also working on the underlying technology to understand queries better and deliver results faster. Bing’s Stefan Weitz told me that they were working on a “connecting the real world to the digital world,” building an entity engine code-named Satori that attaches relevant terms and relationships to objects, and then tags relevant Web pages with the object ID. So far, they’ve added over 300 million objects ranging from wine bottles to PC monitors. It’s an offshoot of the “semantic Web” concept, which tries to categorize things and ideas rather than simply scan text on Web pages for terms.

The point of all this new plumbing as well as the new social network integration is to make Bing’s new slogan?Bing is for doing?a reality. The site is a lot more than straight Web search. Hitting the Explore link at top left gives you an idea of the sites multifarious roles: Entertainment, News, Maps, Social, Finance, Videos, Local, Shopping, Travel, Translator, and more. We’ll dive into several of these as the review progresses. The new social tools will be rolled out to all users by this June, and users can head to www.bing.com/new to be notified of its availability.

Interface
Google Doodles get all the noise, but every single day you can see an often dazzling and always enlightening image on the Bing home search page. The image doesn’t affect the page load time, as it loads after the search box. Occasionally it will even come to life as a short video, and mouseover links always lead to more photos, maps, and info on the photo subject. The home page has a menu along the top for vertical search like Images, Videos, Shopping, News, Maps, Travel, Entertainment. You can also check your search history (if you’ve logged in), Hotmail, and MSN from menu items here. On the left you’ll see your login accounts, Bing Rewards point total (more later), and search settings, such as safe search.

Like any other self-respecting, up-to-date search engine, start typing in the search box and you’ll see suggestions drop down. You don’t get Google’s Instant results, but frankly, that can often just be a distraction, and most people I’ve asked don’t use it, instead simply typing their whole query in before looking at the results. Another behavior in Bing that I definitely prefer is that when you switch, say, from Web search to news search, Bing maintains your search term and applies it to the new function. With Google, if I search “sports car” and then click the News link at top, I get the day’s general news and have to type “sports car” again to see news related to that term.

One of Bing’s real contributions to Web search, which was copied by Google, was the consistent sidebar it placed along the left rail of the result page. With the latest revision, this is gone from Bing. Gone also are the site text previews you used to see when you hovered the mouse over a result entry. Google now shows a large thumbnail of each site when you do this, complete with images. This gives you a visual clue, in case seeing the design jogs your memory that, yes that’s the site I wanted. The removal of these thumbnails is part of a cleanup at Bing, which also put the ax to the tab filters above results, and a trimming down of the Bing daily image border to a sliver at the top.

Bing intends to replace the quick information encapsulation that site preview used to provide with Snapshot. This feature isn’t yet implemented though, so I couldn’t test it myself. I did get a demo of it. A Snapshot arrow will show up when you search for a restaurant, hotel, movie or event, or person. You’ll see ratings, business hours, maps, and even interior panoramas for the establishments, and social network info for people searches.

Results
As I mentioned at the outset, most users wouldn’t notice a difference in the quality of search results between Bing and Google. Both are perfectly capable of turning up any fairly well-known site. Blind taste tests have even shown that more users actually find Bing’s results more useful. You can try such a test for yourself with BlindSearch. I’ve occasionally not found the result I was looking for, and sometimes Google would get it for me. The fact that so many sites try to game Google for higher placement through SEO could actually be an advantage for a non-Google search engine. Other extended tests, too, like Conrad Saam’s in Search Engine Land have shown the results too close to call a clear winner.

What differentiates today’s Web search is how the results are enhanced. For example, I searched for “lobster bisque recipe” and at the top of Bing’s results was a Bing Recipes choice. Google helpfully listed ingredients, cook time, and calories along the left rail, while clicking into Bing Recipes laid out this information attractively. When I switched gears and typed USS Indianapolis into the search bar, Google found nothing, since the search wasn’t recipe-related, while Bing had no trouble switching gears to World War II battleships. (This relates to a usability issue with Google News I mention below?an inability to shift gears.)

One option I definitely prefer in Google is the abilty to specify a date range to search for. Bing has done away with its sidebar, and thereforeany search refinements like those offered by Google’s search tools. Yahoo, too, will let you restrict a search by past day, week, or month, but Google is the clear winner here.

A search for the Mets’ ailing shortstop Ruben Tejada had Bing displaying his stats and performance in the most recent three games, while in Google I had to click through to one of the Web results to get this info. The first Google result was Wikipedia, rather than a sports-specific site. In fact, though it’s amazing for both search engines how many results come from Wikipedia. You might as well just start with that online encyclopedia for many of your searches.

Written by  on May 19, 2012 Categories: kudos Tags:
sad face

I write the words ?I wish I had better news for you? almost every day.

They?re usually in an email to a consumer with a complaint and they?re preceded by a brief explanation that they don?t have a valid case against the company they?re complaining about.

Consumers usually think it means I?m telling them, ?No ? I can?t help you.? But it?s actually much worse than that: it means the case is unsolvable.

Unsolvable cases ? not to be confused with cases I refuse to mediate ? come in all forms.

This morning I wrote ?I wish I had better news? to someone who wanted a refund from a business that had declared bankruptcy in 2010 and no longer existed, after telling him I couldn?t help him get his money back.

Yesterday, I sent the message to someone who was treated rudely by a customer service agent (how do you compensate someone for rudeness?). And the day before, I said it to someone whose credit expired, in accordance with the terms and conditions of his purchase.

I hate having to say it, by the way. That?s why I?m writing this story.

Here are my four favorite ?lost? causes and how to avoid becoming one.

The bankrupt business.

When a company is struggling to survive, it may have a last-minute fire sale to drum up business. Tempting? Sure, but watch out. If that company folds, you may find yourself holding a service that?s worthless or a product that isn?t covered.

But you can avoid this lost cause by doing business with a company that is healthy and protecting your purchases by making them with a credit card, which can sometimes retrieve the money you thought you?d lost.

The slight.

In this ?always-on? society, the idea of good customer service often takes a back seat to profits. So when readers complain to me about bad service, I?m sympathetic. But to what are you entitled when your server sneers at you or your mechanic tells you ?your car will be done when it?s done??

Nothing, actually.

You are entitled to take your business elsewhere, to a company that values it and wouldn?t dream of letting one of its employees sneer or snub you. Sadly, that?s the only solution I can recommend.

The onerous terms.

If you?re a regular reader of my posts on this site, then you know that companies try to slip some of the most outrageous contracts under your nose (and sometimes they don?t even let you read them). All the more reason to pay attention to the terms and make sure you know what they are before making your purchase. Once you?ve plunked down your credit card, it?s too late ? you?ve agreed to the terms and the company policy governing it, whether you like it or not.

My advice? If you don?t like what you read, move on and find a business that offers a fair contract.

The rules you should have known (but didn?t).

I get a fair number of questions about travel visas and passport requirements. These rules can be complex, but one thing never changes: meeting them is your responsibility before you get on a plane or board a ship. I?ve seen many cases of people buying a product or service without being aware of all the rules, even though they should have.

You are unlikely to persuade a business to drop the sales tax on an item or let you board a flight without the right visa. I can?t persuade them to, either. Know the rules before you make your purchase.

The world is filled with lost causes, and every time I have to tell a consumer that theirs is one, it pains me. But these simple steps can help you avoid the worst of them.

Solar eclipse visible from 154 national parks Sunday

Written by  on  Categories: kudos Tags: , ,

Sunday’s solar eclipse will be the first visible in the US this century. The annular eclipse will be best seen from 33 national parks, including the Grand Canyon.

By Nola Taylor Redd,?OurAmazingPlanet Contributor / May 16, 2012

On Sunday, a solar eclipse ? a partial disappearance of the sun behind the moon ? will be best seen from the western US. Here, a partially eclipsed sun sets on Oct. 13, 2004 as seen from Waikiki, Hawaii.

When the sun vanishes behind the moon for the first time over the United States in this century, what better place to enjoy the view than from one of the 154 national parks that stand in its path?

Astronomy lovers in the United States will be treated to a partial disappearance of the sun behind the moon this Sunday (May 20). Only the Eastern Seaboard will be totally exempt. Over the course of the solar eclipse, the sun won’t vanish completely, but will remain as a ring around the moon for what is known as an annular eclipse. When the eclipse occurs, the moon will be near its most distant point from Earth, making it appear smaller in the sky and thus unable to block the entire sun. But it will still be a stunning sight.

Thirty-three national parks will see the full effect of the moon’s interference. Many western parks will be offering an array of events for their guests, ranging from placing telescopes out for viewing up to a full-scale astronomy festival.

IN PICTURES: Solar eclipse

“We’re lucky that so many parks happen to lie within the path of the annular eclipse,” Grand Canyon park ranger Marker Marshall told OurAmazingPlanet.

A grand event

The Grand Canyon park staff, along with the help of the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association, will be setting up solar telescopes and helping people safely view the eclipse. NASA scientists will be present to talk about the eclipse, as well as recent lunar findings. They will also have eclipse glasses for sale and will demonstrate how to use binoculars to safely set up a projection of the eclipse on a piece of paper. After the eclipse, the park will host a star party. [Top 10 Most Visited National Parks]

Marshall noted that, like other national parks, the Grand Canyon boasts signs warning people not to look directly at the sun, or to view the sun through telescopes, binoculars or cameras without a solar filter. Doing so will damage your eyes.

At Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, the annual Astronomy Festival has been moved to coincide with eclipse weekend. Great Basin National Park in Nevada will hold a pre-eclipse party Saturday night with a presentation by an actor playing Galileo, and a special program on Sunday. Several parks will instruct guests on how to make a pinhole viewer of their own to safely observe the eclipse. Several other parks are receiving assistance from their local amateur astronomy clubs to help the public safely watch the show.

Garcia, Freese lead Cardinals past Giants

Written by  on  Categories: kudos Tags: ,

By JANIE McCAULEY

AP Baseball Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 12:55 a.m. ET May 17, 2012

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – David Freese delivered a crushing hit right after the Giants tied the game, and Jaime Garcia had a lead again when he headed back out to the mound in the bottom of the seventh.

Garcia matched his career high with nine strikeouts, Freese hit a go-ahead solo home run in the seventh inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals gave manager Mike Matheny a victory against his old Giants team with a 4-1 win Wednesday night.

Freese won’t go as far as to say he’s back on track at the plate following an 0-for-17 funk, but this is certainly a start.

“That’s one way to turn it around a little bit,” he said. “Just a big hit for Jaime. He pitched his tail off. Facing this type of team in this type of environment, it’s nice to help him get a win like that.”

Buster Posey hit a tying RBI single in the sixth against Garcia (3-2) for San Francisco, which missed multiple scoring chances yet again in what has been the biggest downfall for this bunch.

Pinch-hitter Skip Schumaker added a two-run double in the eighth for the Cardinals, who improved to 13-7 on the road.

In a matchup of the last two World Series champions, the Giants didn’t do enough to back Madison Bumgarner (5-3). He lost his second straight start following a five-start winning streak on a breezy Bay Area night featuring a hovering mist above the field.

Garcia, who pitched a three-hitter in a 9-0 win over the Giants on Aug. 22, 2010, in St. Louis, had another memorable performance on the mound – his nasty off-speed stuff keeping the Giants guessing.

“He had it right from the beginning,” Matheny said. “He gets going like that, and it’s going to be fun to watch him.”

While he allowed nine hits in 7 1-3 innings, Garcia didn’t issue a walk for the first time this year and threw an efficient 92 pitches. The lefty also struck out nine San Francisco batters on April 9, 2011.

“It was a really tough lineup and place to play, and I was able to stay in control of the game,” he said.

Jason Motte pitched the ninth for his seventh save in nine opportunities.

Slugger Carlos Beltran missed his third straight game for St. Louis with a sore and stiff right knee, but he could be available in Thursday afternoon’s series finale against his former club. Beltran spent the second half of 2011 with the Giants after a trade from the New York Mets.

St. Louis took the lead in the first when Rafael Furcal scored on Allen Craig’s fielder’s choice. Furcal and Freese each had three hits. Freese connected for his eighth home run with a shot into the tunnel area in left field with two outs in the seventh, then doubled in the ninth.

Freese also singled in the fourth to snap his hitless streak, helping the Cardinals win consecutive games after they avoided an 0-5 homestand by beating the Chicago Cubs 7-6 on Tuesday.

“I’m not looking at it like I’m finally getting breaks, because I’ve been terrible the last week,” Freese said. “It’s not like I’ve been lining balls, this and that. I had a rough week.”

The Giants squandered chances in the early innings. San Francisco had baserunners reach at least second base in the second, third and fourth innings, stranding runners at third in the second and fourth.

Bumgarner had his eight-start home winning streak snapped, a run dating to his last loss here on Aug. 4, 2011, against the Phillies. The lefty missed a chance to move closer to Ron Bryant’s streak of 10 consecutive home victories in 1972-73.

Bumgarner didn’t allow a walk for the first time this season, giving up seven hits in 7 1-3 innings. He gave up at least four earned runs for the second straight outing.

The Giants made a late lineup change, scratching left fielder Melky Cabrera with a left toe injury. Nate Schierholtz moved into the lineup in right field, with Gregor Blanco shifting to left.

Cabrera pinch hit with two outs in the eighth and runners on the corners and grounded out on the first pitch he saw. The Giants were 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position and are 6 of 37 (.162) in such situations in three games so far this homestand.

“Tonight was probably our worst night, I thought, the at-bats with runners in scoring position,” San Francisco skipper Bruce Bochy said. “We’re just getting too anxious, too aggressive and really chasing pitches. Their pitcher did a great job. He knew that and he let the guys expand the zone.

Bochy even pulled out one of former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa’s old stops.

Bumgarner batted eighth and Emmanuel Burriss in the ninth spot to give the Giants “a couple leadoff hitters, a couple speed guys back-to-back,” Bochy said. “I know Tony did it.”

Bochy did the same thing on May 20, 2010, at Arizona. He hit Tim Lincecum eighth and Andres Torres ninth.

Furcal was in an 0-for-9 streak before hitting singles in his first two at-bats.

NOTES: There were no walks. … Pagan has hit safely in 27 of his last 28 games. … It was 53 degrees with wind and fog at first pitch. … Giants 3B Joaquin Arias was off after being hit in the left forearm during Tuesday’s 5-4 loss to Colorado. … San Francisco 2B Freddy Sanchez received an epidural in his inflamed lower back and Bochy called it a “setback,” but the manager believes Sanchez will return this year. … The teams play their other four games of the year Aug. 6-9 at Busch Stadium. … Cardinals C Yadier Molina had the night off after playing the previous two games. … Bumgarner allowed only 10 earned runs in his first 39 innings this season but has given up eight in his last 13 1-3 innings.

It’s mid-May — do you know where your Ice Cream Sandwich update is? Six months after Android 4.0 made its debut on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, millions of owners of legacy Android devices are still anxiously awaiting the day the new firmware gets downloaded on their own electronic real estate. At least the scene today is much more pleasant than it was just a few months ago, as ICS is finally rolling out to several popular devices. But if you’re shopping for a phone or tablet, how can you possibly keep track of which device has what version?

Amidst the confusion, we’ve put together a handy list of the legacy devices that have already been updated to Ice Cream Sandwich, as well as the ones that are promised an upgrade at a future date.

Fishing Is Far More Enjoyable Using This Type Of Suggestions …

Written by  on  Categories: kudos

Maybe you have turned lower a sportfishing trip simply because you had been insecure in regards to the complete ordeal? A lot of individuals have previously uncovered the simple pleasure and relaxation that fishing can provide. When you discover a little bit more about the practice by looking over this post, you might find on your own much more desperate to go out and give it a try yourself.

Do adequate analysis. It is useful to understand the ins and outs of angling. Gather any awareness regarding your location before you decide to keep. Know what type of seafood will be in the areas that you are likely to. Be aware of currents within the water and also the greatest locations to get seafood. Have a look at the weather forecast.

Be sure you change the drinking water inside your bait often should you be not utilizing an aerator to obtain o2 within the water. Unless you, your bait will die and also be ineffective for your sportfishing trip. Even those who use aerators ought to alter the drinking water many times each day.

When using artificial bait, alter your hues once in a while. This word of advice is most valuable if you?ve been awaiting awhile and have not obtained a bite. Seafood can often turn into curious by bait which is brighter than normal, or even an unique color than they are utilized to, which might just equal a catch to suit your needs.

Before you manage a sea food, be sure both hands are wet. A lot of fish have slime on their body to shield them, when your arms are damp, you keep the slime shielded.
