‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ reunion preview: Shannon Beador walks off
Walking off seems to be a tradition for many “Real Housewives” reunion shows, and during the third and final part of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” reunion airing on Bravo Monday night, we’re going to see yet another case of this happening. Surprised? Well, you really shouldn’t be at this point. We don’t even […]
‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ season 11 reunion part 2: Was Heather Dubrow going to quit over Kelly Dodd?
We have gotten through the first episode of the season 11 “Real Housewives of Orange County” reunion and it’s been dramatic to say the least. If you want fighting and rehashing old problems then you’ve come to the right place! They were even still talking about Brooks if you can believe that dead horse was […]
‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ reunion preview: Why did Heather Dubrow almost leave?
Never do we ever feel like we can blame “The Real Housewives of Orange County” and its cast for contemplating doing something a little bit different. Let’s just put it this way: There are many times when this show is a dumpster fire. People are saying things that are controversial and then some, and it’s […]
‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ reunion preview: Kelly Dodd’s past explored and more
If we were to compare a “Real Housewives of Orange County” reunion show to Thanksgiving Dinner, we figure that it’d go somewhat like this. In the first part of it, you see everyone starting to set the table and bring out the appetizers. By the second part of it, the main course is being served […]

With “The Real Housewives of Orange County” season 11 at a close we are ready to move into the reunion! What have the ladies been up to since they filmed and are they still harboring any bad feelings towards each other from the things that were said this season? Time to find out! Want to […]
‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ reunion preview: Vicki Gunvalson – Kelly Dodd drama galore
If you want to see as many different arguments as humanly possible crammed into a relatively-tiny space, we do think we’ve got the television program for you now: The upcoming reunion show for “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” Starting on Monday, this three-part event is going to rehash just about anything and everything from […]The F10 BMW M5 and the Nissan GT-R are two cars that aren’t often compared to each other. The GT-R is a more affordable super car, whereas the F10 BMW M5 is more of a super performance sedan. AutoCar however, believed that the two cars have more in common than we may believe, and put each through a series of tests to see who would come out on top.
Now both cars do cost close to $100,000 stock, and feature twin-turbocharged engines that produce over 540 horsepower. The Nissan GT-R may have two less cylinders and 20 fewer ponies, but it is an agile, all-wheel drive two-door that has taken down other, more powerful super cars before.
The F10 BMW M5 packs a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine under the hood and 560 horsepower with classic rear-wheel drive. It also weighs just under 400 lbs. less than the Nissan GT-R, but lacks the asphalt-gripping all-wheel drive system of the Japanese super car.
The team at AutoCar put the two cars through tests to see who performed the best, then picked a winner based on the results. The outcome may be a bit obvious before watching the video, but we’re not going to spoil it for you.
What car would you pick after watching the video: the BMW M5 or the Nissan GT-R? Leave a comment and let us know!

Tom macwave:.... no... stop it... quit that.... don't even go there...)
Mmmmmm shiny.....
However no way on earth can I justify this, I just hope that the apps don't all become iPad 2 apps
I wouldn't think that would happen. Look at the phones - new apps still support the older phones. Not ALL apps, but many. They know there are nearly 15 million ipad1 owners. They won't abandon them that quickly.
I think it said iMovie is for ipad2 only :/ but yeah I hope it doesnt go that way at least not so soon
iMovie & Garage Band are probably both going to be quite processor intensive so I don't think either will be available for iPad 1.
According to the Apple web site, iMovie is the one that's only for iPhone 4, 4th generation iPod touch, and iPad 2. No restrictions on Garage Band.
Tom macwave:... Sigh...)
imovie was not a great app for the iPhone 4 in any case and as I have said before I really can't see why anyone would be using an ipad as a video device
I hate myself for wanting one
I was really disappointed with iMovie for iPhone. It's not intuitive at all.
It's a disease.
You have successfully been infected.
There is no cure know to mankind!
Tom macwave:... congratulations!)
Did I ever tell you my cousins partner is a super duper whizzy clever Apple engineer in California....?
I will have an iPad 2 with (Product) Red smart cover. I will however be selling my children to the slave trade to finance this.
It will be so worth it, you won't regret it!
Separate names with a comma.On the merits of implementing a novel decentralized ethernet-based PON architecture for next-generation broadband access networks

To date, the mainstream Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) bandwidth allocation schemes as well as the new IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) Task Force specifications have been centralized, relying on a component in the central office, Optical Line Termination (OLT), to provision upstream traffic. Hence, the OLT is the only device that can arbitrate time-division access to the shared channel. Since the OLT has global knowledge of the state of the entire network, this is a centralized control plane in which the OLT has centralized intelligence. One of the major problems associated with a centralized architecture is the "single-point of failure" problem that is the failure of the OLT software will bring down the whole access network. It is the purpose of this work to propose a distributed solution to this problem, and to devise and experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a novel Ethernet over Star Coupler-based PON architecture that uses a fully distributed time division multiple access arbitration schemes. Specifically, we assess the viability of implementing a distributed control plane architecture that facilitates internetworking among connected users. In addition to the added flexibility and reliability associated with distributed control plane architecture, as well as emulating shared LAN capability among different users, the distributed networking architecture and the associated bandwidth allocation algorithms have characteristics that make them far better suited for provisioning Quality of Service (QoS) schemes necessary for multimedia services over a single line.visco-elastic behavior, when subjected to a load.
