Western Digital intros My Passport Studio 2TB portable HDD, twin FireWire 800 ports included

Just days after WD revealed new 2TB My Passport drives for the USB 3.0-respecting world, along comes an option for those running OS X. Aside from the conventional USB 2.0 socket on the My Passport Studio, the Mac-friendly unit also packs a pair of FireWire 800 sockets. Not surprisingly, it ships with hardware-based encryption and password protection software, and while it'll probably come formatted for an Apple, there's nothing at all stopping other platforms from taking advantage. It'll ship in any capacity you want so long as you're happy with 2TB, and it'll be available at fine retailers around the globe this month for $299.99.

Why it makes sense for Sprint to launch the Galaxy Nexus with LTE turned off by default

There's something sadly funny about seeing training docs for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus, nearly half a year after its initial launch in the rest of the world. But that's where we stand today, as Engadget's gotten its hands on some internal Sprint materials showing employees how to sell the thing. There's not much in the way of anything to tell you ?when? it's coming, but obviously training's a pretty big step toward launch.

The one interesting thing we see is that LTE won't be turned on by default. On one hand, it suggests that Sprint's LTE network might not actually be up and running when the Sprint GNex launches.

But consider this: Even if Sprint were to flip the switch on its LTE network tomorrow, it'd still only be live in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Baltimore and Kansas City. Barring any new announcements, that leaves, oh, every city but those without Sprint LTE -- and there are a lot of Sprint stores in the rest of the country that will be selling the Galaxy Nexus.

So while it looks like Sprint will launch the Galaxy Nexus with LTE turned off by default, maybe it's not quite as crazy as it sounds. On the other hand, it doesn't do much to persuade me to to with Sprint's LTE network over more mature networks like Verizon, or even AT&T.

How to deal with iPad 3 screen uneveness

Guys, I returned my ipad3 after getting a replacement which still can't satisfy me.

There are several points I want to make, or say to summarize related posts, to stop this storm where people calling others OCD or something.

1. New iPad is not guaranteed to have an even backlight for the screen(It's crazy and it's true). It's due to the limitation of the manufacturing.

2. It's obvious when you are in following condition:
1) read webpage/document with pure white background
2) It's obvious when you have a split keyboard
3) It's obvious when you compare the colors on you bookmark bar in Safari

3. Not only people in US are discovering this. People in XXX China also are being fXXked up by these issues, needless to say that they can not get a decent customer service since they were not getting their iPads in apple store.
So be happy, since you can return it to apple store if you don't like it.

4. If you found the issue bothers you, simply return it. Exchanging it many times is cumbersome and doesn't worth the time.

BTW check out the following link, chinese customers are getting the same crap...

Barry Rubin: The bizarre Jewish movement to destroy Israel by pretending to save it.

I can only laugh at the idea of dilettante Peter Beinart and J Street as leader of the anti-Israel (oops, I meant save-Israel-from-itself) movement. After all, imagine people parading as self-defined heroes while peddling ideas that have absolutely nothing to do with reality. But behind the stupid ideas is a very poisonous hidden agenda.

We live in an age of intellectual absurdity in which a book by someone who has no notion of Israeli reality and who is, at best, decades (I?d say three) out of date is treated as if he could possibly be of some relevance. Or an organization that has literally never made a single pro-Israel initiative can claim to be the country's best friend and is uncritically accepted and promoted as such in the mass media.?

Contrary to the title of Beinart?s book, there is no crisis of Zionism, certainly not in the way he and similarly thinking American Jews believe. The crisis is simply that Israel has become an actually existing country that is defined by an Israel-Jewish patriotism based on a historical Zionism. In fact, regarding Israel itself, Zionism has been so successful that it simply isn?t needed in the same way as it was in 1947.

Regarding American Jews, the problem is that of the left-wing and those liberals they have fooled, not Zionism. This ?new? approach is based on the debate of the 1970s and 1980s, more specifically the 1974-1992 era.

At that time, there were three points of contention that Beinart and others try to revive in a totally different world:

--Continuation of the occupation endangered Israel?s soul and society through hubris, brutalization, fanatical religiosity, and ambitious nationalism.

--If Israel didn?t make peace and get rid of the territories as fast as possible it would be destroyed by?well, it isn?t exactly clear by whom, since its enemies had failed so continually and were weaker than they?d been in the past. But this meant that Israel had to rush to make peace at any price.

--There was a real opportunity for a stable, just, and lasting peace. Merely offer the Palestinians and Arabs a reasonable settlement?particularly a Palestinian state?and a peace agreement would quickly follow.

?This way of thinking has long since been discredited by the experiences of the peace process. First, Israel withdrew from large portions of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, bringing virtually all Palestinians under self-rule. Later, it pulled out of the Gaza Strip completely. There was no more ?occupation? as there had been in the 1967-1993 period.
