No Comment

No Apps, No Sale: iPad 2 Vs. Motorola Xoom Vs. RIM Playbook Vs. HP TouchPad So, now that I’ve seen the iPad 2, see my short video above, or go and watch all the videos over on Apple’s website or view the pages of content poured into blogs over on Techmeme. We now know what the choice is: 1. Apple iPad 2. Has apps. 2. Motorola Xoom. Has no apps. 3. HP TouchPad. Has no apps. 4. RIM PlayBook. Has no apps. No apps, no sale. It really is that simple.

The top Tablets so far head to head. ( Read iPad 2 vs Xoom more… ) Tale of the Tape: iPad 2 vs Xoom vs PlayBook vs TouchPad Apple just announced the iPad 2, and it adds some sweet features, including a fast dual-core processor and dual cameras. You also get a considerably thinner and lighter design. But how does this much-anticipated tablet stack up to other high-profile slates? For your spec-comparing pleasure, we’ve pitted what we know about the iPad 2 against three other top tablets that are already available or coming to market soon: the BlackBerry PlayBook, the HP TouchPad, and the Motorola Xoom. Let’s get it on! ( Read iPad 2 vs Xoom more… ) iPad 2 vs. Motorola Xoom vs. HP TouchPad vs. BlackBerry PlayBook: the tale of the tape You might recall we ran this comparison about a month back when HP’s TouchPad was announced, but now we’re back with a full set of 2011 devices as Apple’s brand new iPad 2 has joined the fray. There’s no need for excessive introductions, really, just leap past the break to get swalloped up by an avalanche of next-generation tablet specs. ( Read iPad 2 vs Xoom more… ) New iPad 2 vs Motorola Xoom: Apple Comes Blazing Back Earlier this week we pitted the original iPad to the Motorola Xoom, however now that the new iPad 2 has been officially unveiled with specs in tow, we’re going to be able to put both 2011 models up against each other, leveling the playing field so to speak. So lets get to it. ( Read iPad 2 vs Xoom more… ) iPad vs. Xoom vs. iPad 2 Spec Comparison Chart [UPDATE] Apple’s much anticipated iPad 2 was announced Wednesday, and we were interested in comparing the specs to both the original iPad and Motorola’s recently announced Xoom Android tablet. As you can see below, both the iPad 2 and the Xoom each have a few specs in their favor, but the iPad 2 is clearly the best when it comes to size, weight, price, and battery life. Apple’s iPad 2 also has the benefit of LED backlighting, which for many will be enough to overcome the Xoom’s higher resolution (see below) in terms of picture quality). iPad also has both higher and lower storage options, making the device more flexible in terms of both usage and pricing. ( Read iPad 2 vs Xoom more… ) Tablet Tumble: iPad 2 vs. Motorola Xoom The success of Apple’s iPad tablet last year sent its competitors scrambling to come up with similar products, including the BlackBerry PlayBook, the Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy Tab. But despite all these new entries into the tablet market, Apple remains the definitive standard for what a tablet computer should be as evidenced by the release of its iPad 2 today. (See: “Jobs unveils sleeker, more powerful iPad 2 at same price”.) The launch of the iPad 2 not only took some of the buzz away from Motorola’s just-released Android-based Xoom tablet, but it also served notice to the rest of the industry that Apple wouldn’t be resting on its laurels anytime soon. In this article we’ll take a look at how the iPad 2 stacks up against the Motorola Xoom when it comes to hardware, operating systems, connectivity options and pricing.

Pia Toscano American Idol “I’ll Stand By You” Top 12 Girls (Video) Watch the Pia Toscano American Idol performance of “I’ll Stand By You” by The Pretenders… Pia Toscano was easily the best of the American Idol top 12 girls night, earning a standing ovation from the judges and audience! The judges had nothing but rave reviews for Pia Toscano’s take on “I’ll Stand By You,” with Randy calling it unbelievable, Steven echoing that and Jennifer dubbing it “out of this world.” ( Read Pia Toscano more… ) ‘American Idol’: Pia Toscano, Lauren Alaina & Thia Megia Wow the Judges Wow, what a difference a TV mix can make. Watching last night’s broadcast of “American Idol’s” Top 12 guys was a good reminder of the stark contrast between how the performances feel in the studio and how they actually sound to the viewer at home. It may be something Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler will have to address on Thursday’s show, once they’ve had the chance to watch the episodes back. They, in turn, might want to take a few of their comments back. Randy Jackson is, of course, well aware of the disparity, but also wasn’t nearly as fawning over the Top 12 guys as his fellow judges. ( Read Pia Toscano more… ) ‘American Idol’ Top 12 Girls: Thia Megia, Pia Toscano Show Star Power The fellas had their chance on Tuesday night, so on Wednesday (March 2), this year’s “American Idol” top 12 women took the stage in an effort to earn their place in the finals. By night’s end, Pia Toscano and Ashthon Jones emerged as the ones to beat, while teens Thia Megia and Lauren Alaina appeared to have also punched their cards into the top 10. Beyoncé impersonator Ta-Tynisa Wilson, 20, did the honors and went first, singing Rihanna’s “Only Girl (In the World),” while wearing a geometric-patterned poodle skirt. Though she looked the part, her thin, squeaky vocals were way off and the band’s tinny new wave arrangement did her no favors.

Chrissie Hynde’s songs are a lot tougher to sing than they seem, because Chrissie’s phrasing is so off the beat that most other singers sound stilted when they try them. Pia straightens the song out a little bit but not too much. She also nails the modulation into the last chorus effortlessly, and then she goes for a couple of big ol’ glory notes. It’s a classic old-school Idol performance. ( Read Pia Toscano more… ) Pia Toscano Brings ‘American Idol’ Audience To Its Feet Judges praise 21 year old’s powerhouse Performance of the Pretenders’ ‘I’ll Stand By You.’ On a night when Thia Megia gave a quiet, confident performance well beyond her 15 years and teen Lauren Alaina was compared to both Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, it was nevertheless Pia Toscano who stole the show on Wednesday’s (March 2) “American Idol.” Toscano, who anchored the episode with the final performance of the evening, took on the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand By You” and knocked it out of the park, building to a series of powerful glory notes in the closing moments that brought the entire studio audience — her fellow contestants and the judges included — to its feet. ( Read Pia Toscano more… ) Pia Toscano: Blowing The Crowd And Judges Away On Tuesday night the guys had their chance to shine on the American Idol stage. Wednesday night was the night for the top 12 ladies though. I wonder why this night gets better rating than the guys night? Maybe it partly had something to do with Pia Toscano. Pia Toscano blew the crowd and the judges away with her rendition of “I’ll Stand By You”. Not only did they love it but they even gave her a standing ovation! Wow, way to go girl! It looks like Pia Toscano might be the one to beat. ( Read Pia Toscano more… ) ‘American Idol’ judges love Pia Toscano, split on Haley Reinhart Talk about a glory note: Pia Toscano, a New York makeup artist who had tried out for “Idol” twice before, earned the year’s first official standing ovation for a flawless take on “I’ll Stand By You” that built to a crushing crescendo. “You were saving that for when it counts!” exulted judge Jennifer Lopez. Other standouts included bluesy Lauren Turner, 15-year-old Thia Megia, and country rocker Lauren Alaina. Randy Jackson described Alaina as a combo of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

The race is not nearly as close after Wednesday’s top 12 female show. By 11:15 PM on Tuesday night, Lusk, McCreery, Casey Abrams, Paul McDonald and Brett Loewenstern had all made impacts on Google’s Trending chart. As of 11:15 on Wednesday, the only female garnering interest is Pia Toscano. ( Read Pia Toscano more… ) Pia Toscano ‘American Idol’ favorite Newcomer Pia Toscano has proven that not only is she a front runner and an early favorite on American Idol, but even if she doesn’t win, she is going to have a successful career. The brunette beauty stunned the crowd (and America!) with her rendition of I’ll Stand by You and she received the first standing ovation of the season from the judges. Aside from wowing everyone in week one of the competition, Pia was a standout during Hollywood week. Whether she was performing by herself or with a group, she was one to watch. Perhaps the best singer out of the top 24, Toscano will make it to the finals without question.

Farhad Manjoo loves NPR, but he doesn’t like the listeners who write in every time the network dabbles in coverage of pop culture.

Haley Reinhart – Fallin – American Idol Top 24 – Video MP3 Haley Reinhart sings Fallin on the American Idol Top 24 1-866-IDOLS-09 Rickey: This was OK. Haley has a lot of fans. She’ll get through I think. Steven Tyler: I heard just the right about of style and sexy. It was great. Jennifer Lopez: We saw a lot of different colors in your voice.

There’s a smoky, sultry quality that doesn’t always work with her material, but it fits here. She does several impressive runs, too. Not sure I’m all into that lip-curl thing she does, but I’ll go along with it on this tune. “It doesn’t do anything for you,” Randy says. He thinks that husky thing they loved has gone and been replaced by a karaoke singer. “If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong,” Steven says to Randy. He thinks it was just the right amount of everything.

Haley Reinhart and Thia Megia. ( Read Haley Reinhart more… ) American Idol Season 10: Haley Reinhart I have this sinking feeling that Haley Reinhart is falling for one of the oldest American Idol curses out there. She is choosing to sing “Fallin’” by Alicia Keys tonight as she and the rest of the top 12 girls take the stage and try to convince America to vote for them. Not only is “Fallin’” one of those songs that is way overdone on American Idol, but it is a very hard song to sing and a lot of girls seem to convince themselves they can sing it. Most of them, as we often find out, can’t.

Eastern Cougar

No Comment

Eastern Cougar Is Declared Extinct, With an Asterisk Seven decades after the last reported sighting of the eastern cougar, the federal Fish and Wildlife Service declared it extinct Wednesday and recommended that it be removed from the nation’s endangered species list. There’s one wrinkle, though: it may not be extinct, exactly. Scientists are moving toward the conclusion that the eastern cougar was erroneously classified as a separate subspecies in the first place. As a result of a genetic study conducted in 2000, most biologists now believe there is no real difference between the western and eastern branches of the cougar family. ( Read Eastern Cougar more… ) Eastern Cougar Declared Officially Extinct; Florida Panther Still Has a Chance If Reintroduced to Okefenokee SILVER CITY, N.M.— The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today declared the eastern cougar, a subspecies of the puma or mountain lion, extinct following a status review that could not authenticate any records of the animal since the last confirmed individual was killed in 1938 in Maine. Only one other subspecies of puma from the eastern United States — the Florida panther — survives. Florida panthers once ranged throughout the Southeast, but are now besieged by sprawl in a single, remnant population in South Florida. “Official confirmation of the eastern cougar’s extinction is a belated warning that our ecosystems are out of whack, as many a backyard gardener finds out when confronted with damage by voracious deer,” said Michael Robinson, with the Center for Biological Diversity. “But we still have a chance to recover the Florida panther by saving habitat in its current range and reintroducing the animal to its historic range. If we can do that, we’ll help restore nature’s balance at the same time.” ( Read Eastern Cougar more… ) Feds declare Eastern cougar officially extinct, despite continued reports of sightings AUGUSTA, Maine — Sorry, cougar believers. The “ghost cat” of the eastern woods is no more. Or at least that’s the official word from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which has determined after a three-year study that the species of cougar that once prowled from Michigan to Maine to South Carolina is extinct. As a result, the agency plans to move forward with plans to remove the eastern cougar from the federal endangered species list, officials announced Wednesday. ( Read Eastern Cougar more… ) Eastern Cougar Extinct: Mountain Lion Declared Gone From East U.S. ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The “ghost cat” is just that. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Wednesday declared the eastern cougar to be extinct, confirming a widely held belief among wildlife biologists that native populations of the big cat were wiped out by man a century ago. After a lengthy review, federal officials concluded there are no breeding populations of cougars – also known as pumas, panthers, mountain lions and catamounts – in the eastern United States. Researchers believe the eastern cougar subspecies has probably been extinct since the 1930s. ( Read Eastern Cougar more… ) EASTERN COUGAR DECLARED EXTINCT The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Concludes That The Last Eastern Cougar Was Killed Sometime During The Twentieth Century The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service today announced its conclusion that the Eastern cougar, or mountain lion, no longer exists. The negative conclusion of a five-year USFWS survey of the issue is certain to be controversial: During recent decades, many people have reported sightings of cougars east of the Mississippi, and some environmental activists have claimed that wildlife agencies have ignored or even concealed evidence of the Eastern mountain lion’s continued existence.
