Mobile broadband has revolutionized our Internet experience. As more and more people are logging on to the Internet on the go, the need for a faster connection has become imperative, what with all the music downloads, video streaming and other Internet activities that consumes bandwidth. Thanks to mobile broadband, the bandwidth that is being delivered to consumers increased. Broadband actually refers to a term that pertains to a wide array of frequencies in a certain transmission system. If the bandwidth is larger, so does the frequency.

In general, the whole idea of having a broadband connection is to have a "high-speed" connection to the Internet. Being "high-speed" means having a high rate of data transmission. But too often, the mobile broadband speed of a Internet service provider does not measure up to what is advertised, leaving broadband users frustrated. While there are legitimate reasons for slow data transmission, such as traffic management or software on the computer, there are times that a slow mobile broadband speed is unacceptable and is due to poor service.

What to do about this? The first thing you may do is check your mobile broadband speed. It is important to determine the speed of your mobile broadband in order to calculate the necessary steps that you should take. The best way to check your mobile broadband speed is by using a credible speed checker.

Checking your broadband speed is easy, quick and most of all, it's free. You may do so now if like. This website gives you the opportunity to know your mobile broadband speed. Take note that it is to your advantage to test the speed of your mobile broadband. Annoyed that your every download takes so long to be finished? Always having trouble streaming music and videos to your computer or mobile device? Put the speed of your mobile broadband to the test to see if your Internet service provider is true to their promise.

Once you have checked the speed of your mobile broadband and find it unsatisfactory, give your broadband provider a call. Find out if there is anything they can do to improve your broadband speed. You may need to upgrade your modem or have a technician check your line. If there's no improvement you have the right to file a formal complaint to the company. You have the option to take your case to the small claims court in accordance with the Supply of Goods and Services Act if actions were taken but you are still not satisfied or the company failed to act on your official complaint. Or you may just want to switch to another broadband provider if all else failed. Check out the market for Internet service providers that offer faster and reliable speed. Ask around to find out if these providers deliver on their promise before signing up with them. Just always remember that optimum broadband speed is rarely achieved accurately so the thing to consider is which provider gives the most consistent speed.

iPhone Gaming in the Year 2009

While traveling, in school, or my be when it's too bored at home, almost all of us have played a mobile game at least once in lifetime. May be not the 100% of mobile phone subscribers are the mobile gamers, but the percentage is nowhere less than 90%. This fact makes mobile gaming the most active area of mobile content. The question that why people play mobile games may have many answers but a simple answer is simplicity and ease of use of these games, so anyone can play them anywhere. "Where are iPhone games?" was the first quetion that raised with the launch of iPhone.

Technology has always brought revolutions, especially the infrastructure of entertainment economy is the outcome of it. From simple computing to innovations, it always brought a drastic change in the lifestyles not only for individuals but also for business of all types. Just for a little example, touchscreen have renovated the business economy till yet, but it's just one half, the other and the big one lies in the entertainment economy. iPhone when launched was an innovation in the mobile handsets and sort of threat for the competitors, but since mobile is the industry with a lot of business models associated with it, it's now having impact on many other areas of economy, especially the marketing industry with ad-funded games and applications. Particularly in gaming, it's also considered as Nintendo and Sony PSP's rival, being richer in experience, and providing same sort of game development environment to the developers. One other reason for the popularity of iPhone is the network gaming experience it gives with simple WiFi connections, that'll get richer with 3G.

iPhone became a big success and the reason for iPhone to revolutionize the arena of mobile marketing is nothing other than that it's the best mobile gaming platform as compared to others existing in the market. And, it's not just the iPhone buzz, instead the facts. According to the stats released by AOL in the mid of 2008, iPhone gamers generate four times of the page views as compared to players with other handsets, i.e. iPhone players have an average session of 21 minutes with 65 page views, while for others an average session is of 11 minutes with 15 page views. Still thinking, why is it so? Ofcourse it's ebcause of the fact that iPhone is not only a phone but also a good gaming device as well as your mobile computer.

Screen Digest which is a Global Media Market Research firm, reports that by 2012, advertising on mobile will worth $2.79 billion, and ad-funded games download will go upto 60 million per year. Since it'll be touchscreen, ruling the mobile gaming world in near future, iPhone sounds to have the major market share. But the reason for iPhone's lead in the market is not touchscreen only, instead it's price and it's popularity among all age groups and from different spheres of life, while other touchscreen handsets are having a target market of business professionals.

All above is my limited research, and m' sure that iPhone will have lead in mobile gaming in the coming year. I'll, however, appreciate if I happen to find some twist in this whole scene, with some authentic information.

Qurratulain Akhtar has closely worked with iPhone game developers in Zigron Inc, which is a custom software development firm specializing in desktop and web applicationos and mobile development.

Goldie backs campaign to promote social care jobs

DJ and actor Goldie has become the star of a new campaign aimed at encouraging job-seekers to look into a career as a social worker.The star, who has appeared in the James Bond film the World is Not Enough, in addition to a number of more recent reality TV shows, has lent his weight to the initiative as he himself benefited from the care of social workers when he was growing up.Indeed, Goldie spent most of his young life in the care of social workers and as such was only too happy to agree to take on the role of a young single parent to help in the new Help Give Them a Voice campaign being rolled out by the government's Department of Children, Schools and Families."I wouldn't be where I am now without a lot of the help from social workers because I was this really frustrated young child who didn't have anyone to communicate with," he told the BBC.Other celebrities who have agreed to help with the 58 million campaign include Oscar-winning actress Samantha Morton, as well as Michelle Ryan and Sadie Frost.Unison recently reported that around 39 per cent of social worker jobs are currently vacant across the UK.For more information please visit: http://www.randstad.co.uk

Gobala ditahan ketika hadiri perbicaraan

Polis menahan ahli Parlimen Padang Serai itu di Mahkamah Majistret Bukit Mertajam hari ini dan dipercayai dibawa ke Tanah Rata, Cameron Highland untuk menghadap satu lagi perbicaraan.

If you found your way to this article because you are looking for more information on the Xbox 360 screen freezing error then this article will tell you a bit more about why it happens and give you a few tips that you can use to fix it.

The reason the screen freezes up is normally a prelude to the red lights error.

Let me explain:

While you're playing your games the console is taking ever so much heat on the main chips that have called the GPU and the CPU. This is not really anything to do with where you keep your console, but more to do with the design of the console and the P1 Wimax that there is not enough cooling inside.

So eventually through normal use the motherboard takes too much heat and actually starts to bend ever so slightly. If it bends too far the soldering becomes loose and eventually it will snap off completely and you will be left with a frozen screen and no error message.

This can happen for a period between a couple of days and a couple of months until the you normally see the red lights which means one of the chips is completely burnt out and then you will have to get it repaired.

To stop the screen freeze ups what you can do is make sure that you keep your Adsl Setup brick up off the floor as this will allow it to get better ventilation. Also make sure that you are plugging your console directly into a wall socket and not using an extension cable as the fluctuations in the amount of power the console receives can make a difference as well.

You may also want to look into getting a extra fan that will plug into the back of the Xbox and give it some additional cooling.

I hope that these tips solve your screen freezing problem and you can carry on with your games but if it does not you will have to find some way to get your console repaired!

Happy gaming!

Pioneer BDP-95FD Blu-Ray Disc Reviews For the Multi-Region Version

The Multi-Region version Isp available from Planet Omni.

This player is amazing. It's clearly better than the first gen players, bdps1, even the bd91. there are a few little things Connection Speedometer consider about blu ray. It SHOULDN'T play cds. if you have 1000 to spend on an Elite blu ray, then you should have good money, like 600 for a Cambridge azure or a like 24 bit cd player. blu ray lasers are very narrow, and will not read cds correctly, and to make them do so would be way more work than is considered worthwhile by the major manufacturers.

That being said, DROOL! best upscaling I have seen on any player to date, full streaming features, and the Pioneer Elite look. It's a really good player and I for one think that it's the best to date.

It plays CDs, internet firewall well as internally decodes advanced audio (minus DTS-HD Master) into PCM for transmission over HDMI or analog, for all the legacy receivers out there.

Very nice Blu Ray player though with many nice features. Loads like a computer not as fast as a regular player but no big deal. This model is much better than the last from this line. Picture and sound is so wonderful on a Pioneer Plasma TV.I also have the Elite VSX-91TXH amp to go with my system Great Work Pioneer but work on the prices ok.
WOW That is awesome player!

I am starting to flavor Pioneer the most.

According to the manual for the BDP-94FD, the connector diagram on page 11 shows 8 RCA connectors to support 7.1.

I doubt there will be any major physical changes between the BDP-94FD and the to-be-released BDP-95FD.

I don't claim any special expertise but my experience with Pioneer Elite has been my barometer. I bought a second DVD a couple of years back to support both DVD and SACD which my Denon did not. The Pioneer bested the Denon in both Picture Quality and musicality in my setup AND the Pioneer is still working, the Denon's motor went about 6 months ago. Sounds real simple to me...........

Pioneer's new Elite Blu-ray player, the BDP-95FD, is geared to audiophiles as much as it is aimed at videophiles: In addition to HDMI 1.3a and x.v.ycc color, it has bitstream output of even the highest audio codecs, including DTS HD Master Audio. In other words, if you just bought one of the latest, most kick-ass A/V receivers, you might actually be able to use its audio decoders.
The receiver does a few other things too, most notably acting as a media streamer for PC content from Pioneer's Home Media Gallery system.

Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD Blu-ray Disc Player

The new Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD offers unprecedented high definition picture and sound as a result of HDMI 1.3 connectivity. In addition to superb picture performance, the increased bandwidth capacity means the player has internal decoding of high resolution audio formats: Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital+, and DTS-HD?as well as bit-stream output for all advanced audio formats including DTS-HD Master for 7.1 surround sound performance. The BDP-95FD can faithfully reproduce the 1080p 24 frames per second (fps) rate needed to preserve feature film sequences as the director intended. The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player incorporates HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) to ensure streamline integration with other HDMI-CEC enabled high definition theater components. This feature allows users to control a whole home theater setup with a single remote for maximum convenience capability.

The new Blu-ray Disc player offers Pioneer's exclusive Home Media Gallery that allows users to directly access and playback music, movies and photos stored on a home PC. The user-friendly home networking feature also provides IP networking for immediate downloading and of new digital media files straight from the computer through the BDP-95FD to a connected flat screen television. The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player is compliant with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), Window and Apple computers video, Windows Vista or Windows Media Connect as well as Microsoft playsforsure?DRM technology.

How very happy am I that I was a Pioneer Elite "Target"...The VSX-94 is beyond comprehension, when matched with the Bdp-95, life becomes absolutly, hilariously in harmony..that, and after it took two weeks complete a very effective hook up, I WAS AT ONE WITH ELITEZEN MANUALS....
I just picked up a Pioneer Elite BDP-95HD from the Pioneer Store in Costa Mesa.

I will keep this first post for answers to common questions so that new owners get answers quickly.

Does the Pioneer Elite BDP-95HD generate the DTS-HD Master Audio Bitstream that can be decoded by the receiver / processor?

-- Yes. My Integra DTC-9.8 displays 'DTS-HD MSTR' when I select DTS-HD Master Audio sound track from disk. Audio is un-frig'in-believable!

Are the load times improved over the 94HD?

-- Using POTC: COTBP as a benchmark, it took 22 seconds from pressing START on the remote to the POTC "loading..." message to appear and a total of 38 seconds for the Disney screen to appear

How does the PQ of the 95FD compare to the 94HD?

-- Very similar - 95FD just slightly sharper

How well does the 1080p24fps work:

-- Flawlessly

How is good is the DVD SD upconversion on the BDP-95FD?

-- Excellent (better than the BDP-94HD and the HD1)

REPORTED ISSUES or PROBLEMS: None.

I have been watching Kingdom of Heaven Blu Ray while listening to the DTS-HD MA sound track (Integra displays DTS-HD MSTR :-) Sounds un-frig'in-believable.

Player seems to be operating flawlessly. Boot up time very acceptable. Responds to remote immediately. It is difficult to tell if there are any PQ differences from the PS3 that I had but the DTS-HD MA is mind blowing...

It just took 35 seconds from pushing the close button on the remote to Kingdom of Heaven to begin playing...

With Disk in DVD player and player on stop, using POTC: COTBP it took 22 seconds for the POTC loading message to appear and a total of 38 seconds for the Disney screen to appear...

After setting it up I can't help feeling dj vu all over again. As you can see in the pic it does look nearly identical to the 94HD and HD1. I do like the class look it has though. I really like that high gloss piano finish look. As Tony said it takes about 35 seconds for titles to start playing. Which actually is a pretty BIG improvement over the two older models. Just like the others initial set up is a breeze. I do like the Pioneer start up screen better on the 95FD. It just looks cooler. I am not only comparing this unit to its brothers (or cousins) but also to the Samsung 1400. This ELITE unit costs more but you feel like it is money well spent.

Once again I love having the resolution button on the remote. Being able to change it on the fly is so much nicer then having to stop the movie and go into the set up menu (like the 1400 and HD DVD players). If there is one feature other manufacturers could learn from Pioneer that would be a good one to start with. Also, having 1080p/23.98 (24) done without issues is a breath of fresh air. Toshiba has been struggling as many of us know so it is nice to get a unit out of the box (just like the 1400, 94HD and HD1) that can do 1080p/23.98 without any EDID issues. I have not spent a great amount of time with this unit but from what I have I can say it is THE best Blu ray player on the market.

The picture Q is very colorful and very sharp. It bests the very impressive (especially for its price) Samsung 1400. Not by a lot in terms of pic Q but when you add the entire package together you know why the Pioneer is more. Picture settings, menu options, great remote (which is light years ahead of the competition) and of course a great picture with great sound. Speaking of sound I have only done a couple of comparisons so far but it is too easy to select bitstream passing in the menu. No confusion here. You are either sending D.D. or DTS via HDMI or PCM... Your call. That easy. I will do more on audio soon but sending the audio to my receiver (Onkyo 905) sounded great just as I expected. It also sounded good the few minutes I had the 95FD doing it. I am not going to say which is better because I do not want to open that can of worms again. So do not ask here. PM me.

I am using the new Sony VPL- VW60 "Black Pearl" (which is the 3rd pic) for all of my comparison so far. It handles 1080p/23.98 like a champ. I can also send it straight into my crystalio II and then tweak the image before sending it to the VW60 in 1080p/23.98. The Pioneer 95FD gets along with all of my other components which I do not take for granted these days.

And yes I am making reference to the XA2 and A35 which are stubborn when it comes to sending 1080p/24 to some displays. In direct comparison to the 94HD the 95FD is obviously a more flexible unit with a little quicker load times. Being able to pass HBR audio directly to the receiver for decoding is a really cool feature. Especially if you purchased one of the newer ones that can decode it. The picture Q is very close. I keep going back and forth. Going straight to my pj it does look like the 95FD is just a little more sharper but their brilliant colors are nearly identical. I will say the home media gallery looks more refined on the 95FD. I have never really got into that feature before but now I am intrigued so I may just jump in!

Bottom line is if you have the 94HD and do not care about the bitstream audio feature then there is absolutely no reason to dump it for the 95FD. However, if you do not and are interested in getting the best Blu ray unit in terms of features and pic/sound Q then look no further than the 95FD! I hate to keep picking the new Pioneer units as my favorite Blu ray unit but honestly the other companies are still two steps behind. The 95FD is the starter in my set up. More to come (SD DVD versus the A35 and XA2 and even 1400) as well as a few more thoughts on audio...BTW, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (BR) is looking and sounding awesome on this unit! Pick up a copy!

Well, I am pleasantly surprised to post that the 95FD has excellent upconversion. Much better than the 94HD and HD1. I even put it through the HQV Blu ray benchmark tests and it handled them very good. Especially my favorite stadium torture test! And as tradition lately it even made my adult videos look great! It is right on par with the A35 and XA2. I will work harder tomorrow and do real side by side comparisons (1400 included) but my first initial impressions are very good to excellent... More to come..

Great report Joe. Thanks. Looks like a winner. I too LOVE the "classic" look and finish of "Elite" equipment. This is definitely the machine I will purchase when my Onkyo 885 Pre/pro arrives.

Have you compared a 5.1 PCM track coming out of the PS3 vs. 95? I know there should not be a noticeable difference, but if you would not mind doing a comparison I would be curious to know for sure.

It is not surprising that DTS-MA sounds better from the 95 as we are getting the full signal vs. only the 1.5 core of the PS3. Can't wait to hear this!
The DTS-HD hi res is from the King Of New York's DTS HD soundtrack (I am reviewing) and the DTS-HD MASTER is from the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer soundtrack which states it is DTS-HD MASTER...

As I posted earlier in this thread the 1400 is very close but the 95FD produces a sharper image. I also prefer it for SD DVD upconversion. I also prefer all the other cool features like the resolution button on the remote. It is much nicer being able to change resolutions on the fly then having to hit stop and go into a set up menu. Especially when you are trying to compare them! I have spent awhile this afternoon playing different blu ray discs but tomorrow I will do my comparisons between the XA2 for SD DVD upconversion. I predict the 95FD will be on par with the XA2. We need to find out which chip it is using because it is by far much better than the 94HD and HD1... More to come tomorrow...

If the 95 can match the XA2 on SD upscaling this is a tremendous plus. The XA2 makes new DVDs almost look like HD and the only players so far that can do the same job are the very Hi-end Denon's or players costing 5 times more. The Samsung 1200 has the same Reon chip and should also be great but lacks the new audio features. Depending on your tests I will be a new 95 owner soon.

I have the bdp-95fd and the pdp-6010fd display. Extremely happy with it. Firmware support has been excellent. I am using it with a TacT 2.2x digital preamp, TacT digital Boz amp, Escalante Pinyons and a pair of Escalante subs. My connection is through the coax digital output. I have had an signature upgraded Denon 3930 in my system using the same set-up and I must say the sound quality and bass impact blows me away on the bpd-95fd In stock form, the Pioneer bpd-95fd is an excellent performer in terms of audio and video.

Given my system can only process two channel audio through the digital output, am I getting the two channel version decoded Dolby Digital Plus?
Me too, I have the 95 and a 94 receiver and it is quite impressive in the sound department. It is a definite benefit to have the ma tracks. If you have good equipment.

High resolution picture and sound performance come together in the new Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD Blu-ray Disc player introduced at the CEDIA Expo today. Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. is showcasing its highly anticipated player, the industry's first to offer bitstream output of all advanced audio formats including: Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital+, DTS-HD?High Resolution and DTS-HD?Master Audio.

The BDP-95FD ensures a near cinematic experience with its ability to handle 1080p 24 frames per second (fps) reproduction rate preserving a feature film's original sequence. Taking advantage of HDMI 1.3 connectivity, the new player provides smooth, pristine imagery and dynamic 7.1 surround sound to deliver the full emotional impact of Blu-ray Disc feature films as the director intended.

The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player leads the industry with sophisticated home theater offerings including HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) to ensure seamless integration with other high definition theater components. In addition, movies, music and photos can be easily streamed from a home PC to connected 1080p television via the player's enhanced home networking functionality for unrivaled entertainment.

"Our newest Elite BDP-95FD player is like having a movie theater projector delivering best-in-class picture and sound at home. Its high performance is a testament to our optical disc heritage and commitment to delivering the ultimate home theater by introducing lossless high resolution audio that entertainment junkies will truly appreciate," said Chris Walker, senior manager of marketing and product planning at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "When combined with a KURO television and Elite A/V receiver, the BDP-95FD immerses home audiences in a seeing and hearing experience like never before."

Next Generation High Definition Performance

Leading high definition home theater, the BDP-95FD delivers unprecedented picture and sound as a result of HDMI 1.3 capability. The new generation HDMI version is designed for smoother connectivity to emerging 1080p flat panel televisions and other high resolution devices. With increased bandwidth capacity, the Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player can transfer larger amounts of uncompressed high definition video and audio resolutions as well as standard DVD that will immerse viewers in an unforgettable viewing experience.

Stunning colors and enhanced picture reproduction are complimented by the player's additional support of lossless digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital+, DTS-HD?High Resolution Audio and DTS-HD?Master Audio. As a result of HDMI 1.3, the BDP-95FD brings the highest quality sound performance of Blu-ray Disc film titles to the living room giving audiophiles up to 7-channels of pristine audio that defines ultimate home theater.

High Definition Integration Made Simple

Streamlining the integration of multiple home theater components, the BDP-95FD offers HDMI-CEC technology. This new convenience feature synchronizes the Blu-ray Disc player with other CEC-enabled products and controls an entire setup with a single remote. With an easy to navigate graphical user interface, HDMI-CEC requires minimal user effort while ensuring premium performance and maximum entertainment.

Cinematic Picture At Home

Mastered at 1080p 24fps, Blu-ray Disc movie titles preserve a feature film's original sequence to faithfully deliver stellar image quality. Pioneer engineers designed the Elite BDP-95FD Blu-ray Disc to handle and output high performance 1080p 24fps signal for natural, pristine film reproduction as the director intended.

Home Media Gallery

Digital media fans can playback their favorite downloaded video and music files as well as personal photos straight from a home PC hard drive to their high definition television through Pioneer's exclusive Home Media Gallery.

This home networking feature provides users a rich, high definition graphical interface with fast navigation to search, select and play desired content. Home Media Gallery offers IP networking for quick access and downloading of new digital media files straight from the computer for immediate viewing through the BDP-95FD on a connected flat screen television. The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray Disc player is compliant with Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) sources, as well as Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and Media Center editions, as well as 3rd party DLNA server software available for both Mac and Linux based computers.

Some Blu-ray players have Dolby TrueHD, some even have Dolby Digital+, DTS-HD High Resolution or DTS-HD Master Audio, but Pioneer's BDP-95FD is the first to pack all four - guess that's why they call it the Elite.

Pair it up with one of the latest high-end A/V receivers and you'll be able to hear a pin dropped in the background as Bruce Willis takes out a helicopter with a flying cop car (again) in Die Hard 4.0.

As well as its audio treats it ticks the usual high-end 24p, HDMI 1.3 and HDMI-CEC boxes - the latter for taking control of all your HDMI equipped gear from one ber remote.

Natch, it's also compliant with Digital Living Network Alliance (or DLNA for short) for accessing content on other compatible kit and it'll stream content stashed away on your PC using Pioneer's Home Media Gallery system.

Illegal Arowana Trade Implications: Lifting the Ban on Responsibility

The history of Asian Arowanas Scleropages formosus and CITES is well known by most Arowana enthusiasts. Their Appendix I classification has restricted and regulated their commercial trade for decades. The success in captive-breeding Arowanas by CITES certified farms throughout Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore resulted in a relax in the international ban on their export years ago. Today, their CITES status no longer impedes access broadband routers captive-bred Arowanas. Thanks to the Broadband Deal efforts of CITES certified farms, Best Broadband Deal hobbyists throughout the world now have access to legally imported, captive-bred, quality Asian Arowanas.

But for many Arowana fans including those in the United States, Asian Arowanas are still off limits due to Endangered Species classifications. It is Streamyx Account to possess, sell or import Asian Arowanas in the U.S. and several other countries. Frustrations with what many view as antiquated or unnecessary laws has contributed to illegal trade operations in many if not all of these locations. Such illegal trade does immeasurable harm to Arowanas in ways few engaging in it stop to consider.

What Harm Can it Do?

Think it cant hurt to buy your self just one illegal Arowana? It depends on how you define hurt,?and how much responsibility youre willing to take for the implications of your actions.

Considering smuggling a legally obtained, captive-raised specimen from a neighboring country? How many times is this likely to be permitted before that country restricts Arowana imports? What international message is sent when countries legally importing Arowanas fail to regulate populations?

Consider, too, that micro-chipping and CITES certification ensures each legally exported and imported Arowana can be traced to its farm of origin. Despite costly, stringent efforts on the part of farms to abide by international laws, illegal trade ultimately undermines all attempts at distribution. Where did your illegal, captive-bred Arowana come from? How would the farm feel about you illegally possessing one of their tediously bred and raised Arowanas?

Smuggling a captive-bred Arowana may not directly compromise wild populations. But having to chase after captive-bred Arowana smugglers detracts from the resources of enforcement agencies. While you are monitored and eventually caught and prosecuted for smuggling a legally traded, captive-bred Arowana, how many illegally exported or wild-caught specimens were sold unchecked while you engaged enforcement officers?

Passion and Patience Breed More than Conscience

While you (myself, and many others) may not agree with the laws restricting access to Asian Arowanas, consider the implications such restrictions have had in the past. Were it not for their initial CITES classification, the captive breeding of Asian Arowanas would most likely never have evolved to its present level of success. It is doubtful micro-chipping and the science of genetics now protecting and enhancing Arowana quality would have developed. When wild populations became extinct, our access to Arowanas would have been restricted for all time.

The Arowana farming industry has made remarkable and unprecedented strides in not only breeding, but developing the ultimate in Arowana care products and practices. As a result, more quality information and support is available to hobbyists than ever before. Not only are they supplying the best quality Arowanas the world can produce, CITES certified farms are now ensuring the world takes good care of them!

Farming research and practices continue to develop and cheap flights to kuala lumpur to serve the recently expanding Arowana market. Their efforts benefit both Arowanas and enthusiasts on a massive, worldwide scale. Perhaps more good can come to light if the gradual lifting of remaining Arowana bans keeps a pace in sync with the current farming industrys high standards and best practices. Like illegal trade, unscrupulous or compromised legal breeding and trade can be of no benefit to Arowanas in the long run.

According to reports, actor Burt Reynolds has had a stint in rehab after becoming addicted to prescription medication, given to help with the pain he was suffering with after an accident.Reynolds was treated for a similar problem in the 1980’s when he became dependant on sleeping tablets. It is believed that the actor has now

A couple of years ago, no one would have understood that title; not because the consoles didn't exist, but because DLC was anything but "Downloadable Content". We PC gamers are old time users of the "DLC", after all we've cable modem rental had mods, map packs, expansions, patches and the sort; however the console crowd is relatively new to this and how could they not be since up until this generation no console had a proper hard drive to speak of. So both the Xbox 360 and the PS3's gamers enjoy DLC in some form, however as of late (okay maybe since last year) Microsoft has been securing DLC for Xbox 360 multi platform games with large sums of money in order to gain the competitive edge. Sony's response? Basically "hey it's your game, if you want to sell less in one platform; it's your problem". As bad as that sounds, should console manufactures have to really pay for DLC? Do we want that market to exist? Is any party thinking on us, the gamers? Should we pay for it?

First of all, I think that the ones that will always have a win-win situation here are the devs; because they phone text messaging sms make money by accepting Microsoft "bribe" lets say and also by the DLC itself. This is the case of the really cool GTAiV's expansion The lost and The damned. Furthermore Xbox 360 owners also have exclusive DLC for Fallout 3, another hit multiplatform game. Microsoft really made an effort to bring exclusive content for these critically acclaimed top games and that of course will show in the charts. After all, if you havc 2 identical versions of a game but one has the option to increase it's gameplay value for a few more dollars; I think you, as well as I, would choose this last version.

Is Sony screwing itself over by refusing to pay for DLC? I think they obviously losing sales, but very little in that; because multiple console owners are not that common. And if we count the fact that Sony is still losing money on the PS3, I think they might have the right attitude on this. After all isn't the developers the ones that should be concerned in getting their game to as much people as possible? I don't want to sound all high and mighty, but does creativity and fan support all have a price? I know that when all is said and done, it's always about money; but I would like to think otherwise.

On the other hand I really like that Microsoft is willing to spend money to bring users new content and I would like to think(i might be a little naive here), that thanks to them DLC is getting made; regardless that it's being done for just one platform. Maybe Maguire is right and PS3 owners might get their DLC version as time passes by; but I wouldn't be counting on it. So out of all the parties involved in this process, I think however misguided their efforts may be, Microsoft is the only one thinking on us; the gamers.

But one question still remains, should we have to pay for DLC? The answer is yes ... and no. Think of it from a consumers point of view, you get what you pay for; thus obviously paid DLC will tend to be better. On the other hand, think of it from the devs point of view. Free goodies, bring happiness to consumers; happy consumers are loyal consumers and provide free advertising. Thus your next big game might have a loyal fanbase BEFORE it's released. In conclusion there isn't really one single answer on this, both options not only can but MUST coexist.

Ok, enough of my internet fax service on this; I am feeling quite spent right now. What about you? What do you think? Yay MC, boo Sony? DLC, paid or not? Let me and the rest of the gang hear your take on this!

I have loved video games since I was merely five years old and stumbled upon a friend's TK90 computer; I was simply amazed to see those pixels moving on the screen, after those long 45 minutes it took to load up games from an audio tape. Ever since then games have been my passion. So that's why i have this blog, basically to vent out on all my gaming related everyday crazy thoughts! ;) Please follow the link if you would like to know more!
