George Ou Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives A geek's trip to Capitol Hill on Network Management Posted in: Mobile/Wireless Networking News Technology policy Net Neutrality I appeared before congressional and government staffers on Capitol Hill for a panel on Network Management sponsored by iGrowthGlobal. This was my first time in Washington DC and while it was a little cold for my Californian bones, it was a beautiful city and seeing the capitol of the nation was certainly a worthwhile experience. One thing that struck me was how large and spread-out the Capitol was with so many Government buildings several miles apart. The panel was moderated by Scott Wallsten, VP for Research and Senior Fellow of iGrowthGlobal.

Cocksure Courteeners' rise continues
AS magical moments go, hearing that you've just sold out your biggest hometown show yet while drinking in the picturesque vista provided on the banks of Loch Ness is not a bad one to tuck away for the grandkids. On route to yet another sold out date, this time in far-reaching Aberdeen, Manchester's brightest new hope in ages are revelling in the attention currently being showered upon them. But as the cocksure and ever quotable frontman Liam Fray is quick to point out, they believe their forthcoming debut LP St Jude will cement their position further. “It's a work of art, I'm so proud of us. There's been a lot of pressure with people hyping us, but I'm openly, openly confident that people will see - with those 12 tracks – that there is worth to what we are doing." Relatively inexperienced in the machinations of the studio and recording process, Fray does however concede, he has been surprised about how well the sessions went.
The Radio Stream Transcoding Bible
With the advent of cheap and/or unlimited data plans, good coverage and the increasing presence of Internet radio stations, the importance of listening to streaming radio stations have become much bigger than ever. In this Bible, I mostly elaborate on practices that may make the sound quality much better using the same bandwidth, and/or may save you tens or hundreds of bucks a month by heavily reducing data usage, while providing the same (or even better!) sound quality should you not be able to access any unlimited data plan (Canada with its ridiculous data rates comes into mind), and/or may heavily increase your battery life by letting you falling back to the much more battery-friendly 2.(7)5G Internet access technologies instead of the power-hungry 3(.5)G ones, and/or in cases, may even let you listen to some radio stations you would never have thought of because of the network / operating system restrictions, and/or makes the central administration of your radio station favorites much easier no need to switch between different radio programs if theres a difference between the protocols / formats they use.
Nikon announces its latest D-SLR camera called the D60
Nikon is one of the largest and most successful makers of digital cameras on the market and has made a full line of D-SLR and point-and-shoot digital cameras for years. Today Nikon announced the newest member if its D-SLR line called the Nikon D60. The camera will sit in the line between the D40x and the D80 in both price and features. While Nikon has declined to comment on pricing at the moment, we can get an idea of the price range the D60 will retail in be looking at the D40, D40x and D80. The Nikon D40 sells for $549.95 in kit form, the D40x sells for $699.95 in a kit and the D80 sells for $999.95 all with a kit 18-55mm lens. That would likely put the new D60 in the $800 price range. The New D60 has a 10.2 megapixel DX-format CCD sensor and exclusive EXPEED image processor.
