X headphones do it all. Theyve got best in class noise cancelling, impressive sound, a sleek design, and loads of app powered goodies. Thats precisely why I was excited, when Sony showed me the new WH 1. M2. Theyre just like the old 1. X headphones but better. Much to my dismay, theyre also 5. Now I wouldnt say all these nice things about the 1. X headphone family if I didnt mean it. Having tested dozens of different wireless headphone models, I can confidently say that the original MDR 1. X really are an excellent set of cans. Any upgrade seems like icing on an already delicious cake, but the things Sony chose to tweak are particularly appealing to me. First, theres improved noise cancelling. Not only does Sony claim that its made the noise cancelling on the new 1. X headphones more powerful, but its also more adaptable thanks to improved ambient noise control as well as Sonys so called Sense Engine. The ambient noise control essentially means youve got different settings so you can block out loud sounds but still hear voices, for instance. The Sense Engine actually uses feedback microphones on the inside and outside of the ear cups as well as a new atmospheric pressure sensor to offer personalized noise cancelling thats especially great on airplanes. I have not used the new 1. X headphones on an airplane, but all the buzzwords sound neat. Next, theres the sound and design. While Sony doesnt mention any big improvements to the audio hardware in its announcement, the company does talk a lot about the accompanying app. As with other wireless headphones in this class, the new Sony app offers a built in equalizer as well as different preprogrammed scenarios, like outdoor concert or sound studio. One new feature called Listening Position, lets you control which direction you want the sound to come from. So if youre sitting down with a friend to the left and you want to move the music to your right, you can with two taps in the app. All these tricks, and Sony says the new 1. X headphones have a battery life of 3. And last, the price. The original MDR 1. X were 4. 00. The new and improved WH 1. M2 cost 3. 50 and will be available in September. Cheaper and better is always a good combo as far as gadgets are concerned. And aside from our initial excitement, well reserve final judgment for when we get to spend more time with the new 1. X headphones for a review. Until then, we can only assume theyre just as good as the old 1. X headphones but 5. That alone is great news. Films. info button v 1. Vote for ice. Films.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances using short wavelength UHFradio waves in the ISM band from 2. GHz4 from fixed and mobile devices, and building personal area networks PANs. Invented by telecom vendor Ericsson in 1. RS 2. 32 data cables. Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group SIG, which has more than 3. The IEEE standardized Bluetooth as IEEE 8. The Bluetooth SIG oversees development of the specification, manages the qualification program, and protects the trademarks. 7 A manufacturer must meet Bluetooth SIG standards to market it as a Bluetooth device. 8 A network of patents apply to the technology, which are licensed to individual qualifying devices. The development of the short link radio technology, later named Bluetooth, was initiated in 1. Nils Rydbeck, CTO at Ericsson Mobile in Lund, Sweden, and by Johan Ullman. The purpose was to develop wireless headsets, according to two inventions by Johan Ullman, SE 8. Windows 2013. Download the free trial version below to get started. Doubleclick the downloaded file to install the software. SE 9. 20. 22. 39, issued 1. Nils Rydbeck tasked Tord Wingren with specifying and Jaap Haartsen and Sven Mattisson with developing. Both were working for Ericsson in Lund. 9 The specification is based on frequency hopping spread spectrum technology. Name and logoeditEtymology of the nameeditThe name Bluetooth is an Anglicised version of the Scandinavian BltandBltann Old Norsebltnn, the epithet of the tenth century king Harald Bluetooth who united dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom and, according to legend, introduced Christianity as well. The idea of this name was proposed in 1. Jim Kardach of Intel who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers. 1. At the time of this proposal he was reading Frans G. Bengtssons historical novel The Long Ships about Vikings and King Harald Bluetooth. 1. The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications protocols, uniting them into one universal standard. 1. The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futharkrunes Hagall and Bjarkan, Haralds initials. 1. ImplementationeditBluetooth operates at frequencies between 2. MHz, or 2. 40. 0 and 2. MHz including guard bands 2 MHz wide at the bottom end and 3. MHz wide at the top. 1. This is in the globally unlicensed but not unregulated industrial, scientific and medical ISM 2. GHz short range radio frequency band. Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency hopping spread spectrum. Bluetooth divides transmitted data into packets, and transmits each packet on one of 7. Bluetooth channels. Each channel has a bandwidth of 1 MHz. It usually performs 8. Adaptive Frequency Hopping AFH enabled. 1. Bluetooth low energy uses 2 MHz spacing, which accommodates 4. Originally, Gaussian frequency shift keying GFSK modulation was the only modulation scheme available. Since the introduction of Bluetooth 2. EDR, 4 DQPSK differential quadrature phase shift keying and 8. DPSK modulation may also be used between compatible devices. Devices functioning with GFSK are said to be operating in basic rate BR mode where an instantaneous bit rate of 1 Mbits is possible. The term Enhanced Data Rate EDR is used to describe 4 DPSK and 8. DPSK schemes, each giving 2 and 3 Mbits respectively. The combination of these BR and EDR modes in Bluetooth radio technology is classified as a BREDR radio. Bluetooth is a packet based protocol with a masterslave architecture. One master may communicate with up to seven slaves in a piconet. All devices share the masters clock. Packet exchange is based on the basic clock, defined by the master, which ticks at 3. Two clock ticks make up a slot of 6. In the simple case of single slot packets the master transmits in even slots and receives in odd slots. The slave, conversely, receives in even slots and transmits in odd slots. Packets may be 1, 3 or 5 slots long, but in all cases the masters transmission begins in even slots and the slaves in odd slots. The above is valid for classic BT. Bluetooth Low Energy, introduced in the 4. Bluetooth low energyRadio interface. Communication and connectioneditA master BREDR Bluetooth device can communicate with a maximum of seven devices in a piconet an ad hoc computer network using Bluetooth technology, though not all devices reach this maximum. The devices can switch roles, by agreement, and the slave can become the master for example, a headset initiating a connection to a phone necessarily begins as masteras initiator of the connectionbut may subsequently operate as slave. The Bluetooth Core Specification provides for the connection of two or more piconets to form a scatternet, in which certain devices simultaneously play the master role in one piconet and the slave role in another. At any given time, data can be transferred between the master and one other device except for the little used broadcast mode. The master chooses which slave device to address typically, it switches rapidly from one device to another in a round robin fashion. Since it is the master that chooses which slave to address, whereas a slave is in theory supposed to listen in each receive slot, being a master is a lighter burden than being a slave. Being a master of seven slaves is possible being a slave of more than one master is possible. The specification is vague as to required behavior in scatternets. citation neededClass. Max. permitted power. Typ. range3mm. Wd. Bm1. 10. 02. Bluetooth is a standard wire replacement communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range based on low cost transceivermicrochips in each device. 1. Because the devices use a radio broadcast communications system, they do not have to be in visual line of sight of each other however, a quasi optical wireless path must be viable. 6 Range is power class dependent, but effective ranges vary in practice. See the table on the right. Officially Class 3 radios have a range of up to 1 metre 3 ft, Class 2, most commonly found in mobile devices, 1. Class 1, primarily for industrial use cases,1. Bluetooth Marketing qualifies that Class 1 range is in most cases 2. Class 2 range 51. The effective range varies due to propagation conditions, material coverage, production sample variations, antenna configurations and battery conditions. Most Bluetooth applications are for indoor conditions, where attenuation of walls and signal fading due to signal reflections make the range far lower than specified line of sight ranges of the Bluetooth products. Most Bluetooth applications are battery powered Class 2 devices, with little difference in range whether the other end of the link is a Class 1 or Class 2 device as the lower powered device tends to set the range limit. In some cases the effective range of the data link can be extended when a Class 2 device is connecting to a Class 1 transceiver with both higher sensitivity and transmission power than a typical Class 2 device. 2. Mostly, however, the Class 1 devices have a similar sensitivity to Class 2 devices. Connecting two Class 1 devices with both high sensitivity and high power can allow ranges far in excess of the typical 1. Some such devices allow open field ranges of up to 1 km and beyond between two similar devices without exceeding legal emission limits. 2. The Bluetooth Core Specification mandates a range of not less than 1. Manufacturers implementations can be tuned to provide the range needed for each case. 3Bluetooth profileseditTo use Bluetooth wireless technology, a device must be able to interpret certain Bluetooth profiles, which are definitions of possible applications and specify general behaviors that Bluetooth enabled devices use to communicate with other Bluetooth devices. These profiles include settings to parameterize and to control the communication from the start. Adherence to profiles saves the time for transmitting the parameters anew before the bi directional link becomes effective. There are a wide range of Bluetooth profiles that describe many different types of applications or use cases for devices. 2. List of applicationsedit. A typical Bluetooth mobile phone headset. Wireless control of and communication between a mobile phone and a handsfreeheadset. This was one of the earliest applications to become popular. 2. Stock Just Arrived At Promenade Music.

How to get gorgeous looking fonts on ubuntu linux. Fonts on Linux. Fonts on linux have long been an issue due to various reasons like the BCI patent by Apple, lack of free quality fonts etc. Not too long ago I wrote a similar article Debian vs. Ubuntu vs. Linux Mint Which Distribution Should You Use Debian vs. Ubuntu vs. Linux Mint Which Distribution. Dj Dup. Dj Dup is from Ubuntu 11. 10 installed by default. It is a GNOME tool intended for the casual Desktop user that aims to be a simple backup tool that. Only windows updates are free, so how does Mac have cheaper updates Do they pay you to update Makes sense since Mac sucks so much. However over time things have changed and now its possible to get your linux system fonts look as good as, or even better than a mac or windows 8 as far as fonts are concerned. In this post I am going to show you couple of simple tricks that can make the fonts of your linux system look amazing However first there are a couple of things to know about how the tricks work. We are mainly going to do 2 things. First is, get better fonts for the system. Second, we are going to tweak the. The. fonts. conf file allows a user to override the system font settings like antialiasing, hinting, auto hinting, sub pixel rendering etc. Ubuntu b n t u uuBUUNtoo, stylized as ubuntu is an open source operating system for computers. It is one of the distribution systems of Linux, and. The tweaks shown in the post should give identical font rendering on any linux distro provided that BCI hinting Byte code interpreter is available which it is on most modern linux distros since the bci patent has now expired. Step 1 Get better fonts. Ok, so the first step is to get better fonts for our system. All of these fonts are free and available from the google webfont store at the following urlhttp www. Here is a list of the fonts you shall need. Install Both Gnome Kde Opensuse Vs Ubuntu Vs FedoraDroid Sans. 2. Droid Sans Mono. Open Sans. Download the font files. Google would give all of them in a single zip file. Make sure you download all styles and all encodings. Once downloaded, extract them in the following directory. usrsharefonts. And they would get installed. Step 2 Tweak your. The next step is to tweak the font rendering through the. This file exists in your home directory. In newer versions of ubuntu, if this file is not already there, then create one. The file is in xml format, and through its syntax we can define various settings on per font basis. Like replace a font by another, use autohinting for a certain font, dont use for another and so on. So copy the xml from the following url to your. If you already have a fonts. Later if you decide to revert, Make sure you installed the fonts mentioned in the previous step. After this you need to configure few font settings in kdegnome, firefox and google chrome. Move on to the next section or continue reading to know more about the fonts. Some background. The ubuntu wiki page on fonts has a font configuration xml provided by Obi Bok. It focuses on getting windows xp style clear looking fonts on your linux system with microsoft fonts. For this you need to install the microsoft fonts like Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Georgia, Times New Roman etc. On Ubuntu the fonts are available in the repository by the package name ttf mscorefonts installer. By installing those fonts, and putting the xml setting in your fonts. Infact they would look better than windows XP. Those microsoft fonts might work well for you, but I think they are out dated and its time to get some modern fonts. So I modified the original fonts. Obi Bok to suit more to Droid, Noto and Open Sans font families. You will see the results in a short while. Step 3 Configure font settings. Now we shall be configuring the desktop KDE or GNOME and the web Firefox or Chrome to get better font renderings according to our plan. Configure system fonts KDEOn KDE, launch System Settings, go to Common Appearance and Behaviour Application appearance Fonts. Select Droid Sans size 9 for all fonts. For fixed width font select Droid Sans Mono size 9. In Use anti aliasing dropdown, select System Settings. Leave force font dpi unchecked. On KDE the subpixel rendering cannot be enabled from the. Adding the following will have no effect. Hence it has to enabled from the Font settings box. The subpixel rendering setting for kde is stored in the file. Xft. Sub. Pixelrgb. Thats it. That should make your fonts look better. Try logging out and relogin, if the settings dont take effect properly. Gnome. The newer gnome desktops dont have a direct option to change the fonts. Use a tool like gnome tweak tool and change the fonts. Gnome with the default Ubuntu Font at size 1. Gnome with tweaked Droid Fonts at size 1. Configure web fonts ChromeFirefox. Now open the browsers google chrome and firefox and go to font settings area. And use the following settings. Standard Font Sans. Serif Font Serif. Sans serif font Sans. Fixed width font monospace. Minimum font size 1. Chrome. Firefox. That much is enough for configuring the browsers. Final Results. The dialog boxes shown above already show the final rendering of the fonts on the desktop. Now I am putting up some screenshots of how the fonts look on webpages. Here is quick comparison between our font tweaked google chrome on linux and Google chrome with default fonts on windows 8. Ubuntu default Chrome. On a fresh installation of Ubuntu 1. Ubuntu TWEAKED Chrome. Here is the same result with our font tweaks applied. The fonts look rich and well fed. Windows 8 Chrome. And for some comparison take a look at how Windows 8 looks. It should be easy to spot out right away how rich the fonts on ubuntu look, when compared to windows 8. I have not checked with mac. May be you should try that and let me know the results. Monospace. For monospace we have 2 great choices. Droid Sans Mono and Inconsolata. However each has got issues. Droid Sans Mono does not have a Bold version. So making them bold looks ugly on webpages. Inconsolata has got a bold version. Inconsolata is smaller in size than Droid Sans Mono. So at the same size of 9pt or 1. Inconsolata looks much tinier than Droid Sans. Comparatively Droid Mono is clearer than Inconsolata. Here is a screenshot of how each looks on KDE with full hinting. Droid Mono at 9pt. Inconsolata at 1. So Inconsolata at 1. Droid Mono at 9pt. Also note that Droid Mono looks nicer than Inconsolata. Both are at full hinting with autohinting disabled. Droid Mono vs Ubuntu Mono. Droid Mono at 9. 5pt in KonsoleKDE with full hinting. Ubuntu Mono at 1. KonsoleKDE with slight hinting. What tweaks have been done. Now I shall explain the tweaks done to your font settings. Arial, Tahoma, Verdana has been replaced by Noto Sans. This will affect the webpages. Those 3 fonts are used a lot on websites, because most websites are still living in the old age. So we replace them with Noto Sans, a modern and beautiful looking font from Google. Georgia, Times New Roman replaced by Noto Serif. This will also affect the webpages. Same reason as before, Noto Serif looks very good. Droid Sans is made the default sans and sans serif font. This is used on desktop and also on webpages as fallbacks. Droid Serif is made the default serif font. Droid Sans Mono is the default monospace font. This will be seen in the terminals and code editors. Different fonts for desktop and web. It is important to note that we are using the Droid fonts for the desktop and the Noto fonts for the web through replacement trick. We could have used the same droid fonts on the web too but it would not work very well for a couple of reasons. To make Droid fonts look the best on the desktop we use bci hinting by disabling autohinting. Due to this the fonts look very good, but there is a tradeoff. At size 1. 2px which is very common on websites the font look tiny. Using such a tiny font on a webpage hinders readability. With auto hinter, the size would go up but rendering quality is hampered on the desktop. On web pages Noto Sans with autohinter looks more clear compared to bci hinter, but slightly stretched compared to bci. So to get the best looks on both the desktop and the web, I came up with the solution of using Droid on the desktop with BCI hinting, and Noto on the web with autohinter. So do these tweaks matter. The tweaks shown above were tested on LCD monitor at 9. On laptops fonts perform better, so even if you were to use a less nicer or a little bad looking font, it would look good on laptopspads where the pixel density is higher. Moreover if you are using gnome, then your fonts are by default 1. At big sizes fonts again perform better. Thats the reason the Ubuntu fonts look good enough on gnome. At smaller sizes the performance or the clarity becomes more testable. That was the desktop part. On webpages fonts come in various sizes and 1. So this is the place that needs most of the beautification. So even if you are content with the gnome desktop with ubuntu font, the web fonts are surely not very upto the mark, as already shown above. So try out the tweaks and suggest me further improvements.

Players control their own Sims activities and relationships in a manner similar to real life. The game play is open ended and does not have a defined goal. Challenges occur randomly based on aspects of each Sims lifestyle, such as relationships, skills and job. Career opportunities such as working overtime or completing special tasks can yield a pay raise, cash bonus, or relationship boost. Skill opportunities are requests by neighbors or community members for Sims to solve problems using their acquired skills for cash or relationship rewards. If the opportunity is connected to a Sims school, the reward may be increased school performance. The new reward system Wishes replaces the Wants And Fears system in its predecessor The Sims 2. Fulfilling a Sims wish contributes to the Sims Lifetime Happiness score, allowing players to purchase lifetime rewards for the cost of those Lifetime Happiness points. The game includes an optional feature called Story Progression which allows all Sims in the neighborhood to autonomously continue free will without the player ever controlling those sims. Sims live for a set duration of time that is adjustable by the player and advance through several life stages baby, toddler, child, teen, young adult, adult, and elder. Sims can die of old age or they can die prematurely from causes such as fire, starvation, drowning, electrocution. Further causes of death were added in the games expansion packs. Create a SimeditThe Sims 3 introduces many more character customization options than its predecessor The Sims 2. The player has a larger selection of body types for Sims as muscle and body weight sliders have been introduced. However, toddlers do not have the option to have their weight customized. The Late Night expansion pack also added sliders for breast size and muscle definition that are also included in the base game. Expanded skin tone options have also been added. Each skin tone can be further customized with a light to dark slider. The player is able to pick their Sims shoes, a feature previously limited to console versions of The Sims and The Sims 2. There are a total of 2. Sims and 1. 7 hairstyles for male Sims with more available through either expansion packs, stuff packs, The Sims 3 Store or third party custom content. Hats and accessories may be applied and may also have their colors and textures altered. Each Sims hair color can be chosen from one of eight basic colors, or the hair color can be customized using a color wheel to choose the base hair color, roots, highlights or tips. The Sims 3 offers many more character customization options than its predecessors. With the addition of Advanced Mode, players can focus on single features on a characters body to modify, allowing for detailed customization. Players also have the option of giving freckles, beauty marks, and tattoos to their Sims. There are several skill dependent abilities, such as more social interactions available from high charisma, special songs for guitar players, and appliance upgrades self cleaning, more TV channels, etc. for high handiness. Sims can begin building skills as early as their toddler days. While skills do not show up in the meter right away, using skill building objects is rewarded once the toddler grows into a child. The basic skills include Logic, Cooking, Painting, Gardening, Writing, Guitar, Athletic, Handiness, Charisma and Fishing. New skills were later added in expansion packs. When Sims reach level 1. Each skill has a tab in the skill journal detailing the level of the skill, statistics, what the challenges are, and sometimes other special information. Various challenges are also available in the skill journal. When a challenge is completed, Sims can earn rewards. All of these rewards earn some kind of benefit, such as quicker completion, better results, etc. With the Ambitions expansion pack, the skill journal also shows hidden skills that a Sim has learned. CareerseditMany of the careers from The Sims 2, and The Sims, such as the Law Enforcement and Athletic tracks, are in The Sims 3. The careers in the core game are Business, Culinary, Criminal, Journalism, Law Enforcement, Medical, Military, Music, Political, Science, and Professional Sports. Professions in the Ambitions expansion pack include Firefighter, Ghost Hunter, Investigator, Architectural Designer, and Stylist. The part time jobs available include such positions as a Bookstore Clerk, Grocery Store Clerk, Spa Receptionist, Spa Specialist and a Mausoleum Gravedigger. Part time jobs have a lower pay than full time jobs and do not give career opportunities. Part time jobs are also available for teen Sims. The Ambitions expansion pack also introduced professions, careers that allow the player direct control over their Sims work and how they spend their days, and the ability for Sims to register at City Hall as self employed in a skill career. Sims can look for these jobs in the newspaper, the computer, or apply at the rabbit hole building where they would like to work. Sims are also able to make a living at home through their skills such as selling their own paintings, writing novels, playing guitar for tips, or growing fruit and vegetables. Jobs such as nectar making is also a profession with the Sims 3 World Adventures. Sims can also buy out businesses and receive a percentage of the profits they earn. Advancing in a career still depends on mood and skills, but with the addition that relationships with colleaguesboss and even certain goals that have to be fulfilled. Players now have more control as to their Sims work, with the option to Work Hard, Take It Easy, Suck Up To Boss, etc. Depending upon which of these the Sim is directed affects the performance bar. If the performance bar is maxed out, this will help to increase a Sims chances of being promoted. A new feature The Sims 3 offers is branching careers, which allows Sims to choose a certain path in their career such as a Sim in the Music career can eventually choose to specialize in Symphonic music or Rock. These branches are generally offered around level 6 of a career, depending on which career the Sim is working. Neighborhoods are now being officially referred to as worlds, or, when moving, towns, possibly due to Electronic Arts use of the Create a World tool and the neighborhoods scale. Worlds are now seamless, open to exploration between lots and are affected by a new game mechanic called story progression. Kotaku.
