![]() Heck, the M1 iMac even starts at $1299-the exact same price point as its progenitor, a quarter of a century ago. The product has, in some ways, come full circle, the purest distillation of the iMac identity since that original version. Similarly, though those original USB ports gave way to a host of different options in the mid-to-late 2000s (FireWire of different flavors, video out, audio in), the connectivity has more recently also been whittled back down to essentials, with just the latest flavor of USB on the basic models. (And it does make me smile to see the default color pictured in the product’s tech spec page is, yes, blue.) The iMac went from a colorful gumdrop-shaped desktop to a hovering flat screen, moving from plastic to polycarbonate to aluminum, and though there was a long trek through the land of monochromatic white and silver (excepting a brief dalliance with black in the one-off iMac Pro)-the current M1 iMac has finally returned the device to its roots as a whimsical, colorful machine. Outwardly, of course, there were plenty of changes. It’s the only Mac model name that has survived, unchanged, since the company’s resurgence under Jobs, and though it has itself evolved over that time, the product’s core identity, as a powerful but easy-to-use all-in-one desktop, has remained unchanged. While the evolution of the computer market over the past decade has shifted decidedly in favor of laptops, the iMac has remained, in many ways, Apple’s standard bearer. And while the iMac may not have accomplished that adoption single-handedly, there’s no doubt that it sped the process along-transforming the computer industry in the process. Gone were Apple’s legacy serial and Apple Desktop Bus ports, replaced with this strange new rectangular connector that, over the next two decades, would become as ubiquitous as a standard power outlet. Likewise, the iMac ushered in the era of USB, a new protocol that was just getting its foothold at the time. When I went off to college that fall, you didn’t have to look far to find a freshman toting one of any number of new PCs that included small colorful plastic accent pieces-almost always in blue. RedHand is a pretty powerful Mac security app with a creepy icon that locks your computer using a myriad of protection options and scripting support, but I think the two best features by far are these: Bluetooth detection locking & unlocking, and the ability to take iSight pictures on failed login attempts. In that, it was very much an echo of the announcement of the original Macintosh in 1984, right down to its unveiling on May 6, 1998, by recently returned Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.Īs much as it was derided for being an underpowered toy, the iMac’s influence on the industry was undeniable. ![]() The original iMac on the cover of the July 1998 issue of Macworld (the printed version).

![]() The women’s Quest Barrier Convertible Jacket differs from the men’s in one small but important detail. BioViz delivers day and night visibility with a range of tactics, like the way this jacket pairs super-fluorescent colors with reflective trims that pop when headlights hit them. In 1990, the brand developed its iconic screaming-yellow color (available in both the men’s and women’s styles of this jacket), which is up to 300% brighter than the brightest whites. The brand has always been at the forefront of visibility research. One feature that makes this jacket stand out in both the men’s and women’s styles is PEARL iZUMi’s BioViz ® technology. When rolling in 70-degree temps, I simply unzipped the sleeves and enjoyed the cooling breeze against my arms.” One Southern California customer recounts a ride that took full advantage of that adaptability: “The jacket provided protection against strong ocean headwinds and temps in the low 50's. Now you have a wind vest rather than a full-blown wind jacket. When the weather hits that tweener stage where core wind protection is precisely what you need-and nothing more-you can zip off the Quest Convertible’s sleeves and stash them in the zippered back pocket. Fully put together, the Quest Barrier Convertible Jacket offers water- and wind-resistant coverage in sizes that run to XXXL. The large back pocket doubles as a storage pouch to hold snacks or other essentials, and two mesh-lined hand pockets double as vents if the need arises.Ĭonvertible jackets like this one offer an alternative strategy for cool and potentially misty conditions. The Cloudburst fits that niche perfectly, and it’s exactly the right weight and cost for me.“Ĭloudburst has other noteworthy performance touches, including an aerodynamic fit, fully taped seams, a rain flap covering the front zip, a drawcord hem and reflective accents. “I want something that’s light, windproof and rainproof, and I can easily throw in my back pocket. Product Specialist Chris Cook of the co-op’s Seattle-area sales and customer service team says, “The biggest selling point for the Cloudburst is how breathable it is compared to other high-performance rain jackets.” The secret breathability sauce is the brand’s proprietary eliteAIR™ fabric, which Cook says offers another key trait: “This fabric’s 4-way stretch is rare among performance rainwear materials, so the Cloudburst is one of the most comfortable jackets you can get.”Ĭycling Specialist Dave Delo in the Tacoma, Washington, REI store has owned several Showers Pass jackets and has his eye on the Cloudburst for his next purchase. There’s more to the Cloudburst, though, than its outstanding packability. Because it weighs less than 10 ounces and packs up into its own pocket, you’ll never hesitate to bring it along for weather protection. We care about our planet and aim to help reduce the carbon footprint left by our industry, one shoe at a time.This relatively new piece from venerated outerwear brand Showers Pass is a worthy contender for many performance categories ranging from best packable jacket to best all-around rainwear. This means we achieve a lifelong waterproofing quality without a harmful chemical or coating. Vessis are 100% Vegan, with each pair made with 30% less water, 600% less energy consumption, and less material trim waste by 97% in comparison to conventional practices.Īnd last but not least, we developed our waterproof layer "Dyma-Tex" which is a membrane made from polyurethane with millions of pores small enough to prevent water molecules from entering, and large enough to allow heat and moisture from our feet to escape. ![]() That's why we've developed mindful manufacturing practices to reflect our values. We recognize the impact that our industry has on the planet. Sometimes animal products are used in raw materials such as glue or accessories which makes the process even less sustainable to the environment. Typical manufacturing processes consume large amounts of energy, water and material trim through processing, dyeing textiles, and cutting. ![]() The Japanese Version was censored from the beginning, but Western countries got the uncensored Version. In Germany, the game got banned pretty fast so that it was just available on request and not in any shop. To play the PC Version, the file "doom2.wad" from the full version of Doom II was necessary. Some of the secret levels belong to the standard levels now. ![]() Furthermore, the PC Version contains two new monsters. The light effects were altered and advanced so that they look more sophisticated. Besides the N64 levels, there were additional levels in the PC Version. In 2002, Samuel Villarreal transfered Doom 64 to the PC and offered the download for free. You're the last survivor of the unit and you have to take these mothers down for good. Being on the mars, your last complete unit gets overrun by demons. Just having arrived on earth, you have to go back to mars with your special unit. ![]() But one demon made it and he builds a new body out of body parts from dead people. Especially the Doom community critized that.Īfter you figured all demons were gone, you return to earth. Former Commando, Revenant, Arch-Vile and Spider Mastermind had to be removed. Unfortunately, not all the monsters found their way to Doom 64 due to the limited memory on the cartridge. New enemies were "Nightmare Imp" and "Motherdemon". Once the gun was upgraded, it was capable of firing three laser rays at the same time.ġ/3 of the game takes place on the mars, the rest in hell. And there wasn't a pentagram in each of the secret levels. To get these pentagrams, the path to the secret levels needed to be found first. The pentagrams were also necessary to close the gates in the last level where new enemies show up all the time. ![]() To upgrade it, up to three pentagrams needed to be found. The Unmaker is an expandable laser weapon. Besided the standard weaponry from Doom II, the "Unmaker" is in the game as well. The sound effects were taken from the PlayStation and Saturn Version and some new ones were added. The monsters and weapons were completely remodeled. Animated skyboxes were added, rooms lighted with color and combining used rooms was also an option. Moreover, there was no multiplayer mode.Īs already tried to explain, Doom 64 is based on an advanced Doom II Engine. The most common points of criticism: still no capability of jumping, ducking or looking up and down. Good ascpects of Doom 64 were the good graphics, the sinister sound, the nighmarish atmosphere and the uncomplicated gameplay. His test report about Kane & Lynch - Dead Men was also his last one because he got fired after he rated the game with 6.0. But that wasn't very surprising because test report was written by Jeff Gerstmann who is infamous for his test reports among gamers and other critics as well. The game was released in Europe, the US and Japan. There were also plans for a sequel to Doom 64 but the project was cancelled because the designer prefered to work on other projects like Quake 64 plus the Doom 2 engine was considered obsolescent. Hodges also composed the score for the PlayStation Version. Developed by Midway, the score composed by Aubrey Hodges. To emphasize the exclusiveness of the game, the title was changed to Doom 64. The working title was "Doom - The Absolution". But this is not just a transfer but a stand-alone sequel to Doom 2. Five defense officials spoke at the hearing. John Tierney, D-Mass.Īnother source of controversy surrounded the decision not to allow family members of the fallen servicemembers to testify. So … we should acknowledge that not all of the families affected by this tragedy support these proceedings,” said Rep. They’ve asked for privacy and they seek closure. “There are other families and their representatives who have contacted the subcommittee and expressed grave concern about this hearing. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, the chairman of the oversight committee, said in his opening remarks. “If I did not believe that a majority of families wanted a forum like this to exist, we would not be conducting this hearing,” Rep. Even the decision to hold a hearing and decision about who was allowed to testify were controversial. The police have launched a probe hoping to get some breakthrough very soon.The event raised many questions over the planning and execution of the SOF mission, as well as the way that memorial ceremonies and the transfer of remains were conducted. In some cases, they dressed as cops and made video calls asking them to pay huge money," he added. "They use the name of senior police officers to threaten people. They shared it back to people asking them to pay, otherwise they would make it viral on social media," he said. "Even then, they recorded the video of such people, morphed it and made it obscene. When they do that, these criminals record it and share it back to the people threatening that if they don't pay money, it would be made viral on social media."Īccording to him, there have been cases in which people merely received calls but refused to indulge in any obscene act. In the recorded call, these women ask people to undress or indulge into some obscene act. Initially people think that they have got a call from a woman. The police officer added, "In these types of cybercrime, fraudsters use recorded obscene videos of women which they play on video call to people. Then the ACP shared a video of a dead body to Mr Joshi and told him that Anjali's mother has committed suicide and so he should pay Rs 4 lakh into her account.Ī police officer, privy to the investigation, said that Mr Joshi paid Rs 7,34,500 in total on three different dates. He introduced Mr Joshi to a person called Ajay Kumar Ghagat and told him that Ghagat is an ACP and Mr Joshi should pay him Rs 2 lakh for "chai pani" (tea and snacks - a euphemism for bribe). The person who posed himself as Rakesh Asthana and his gang cooked up bizarre stories around Anjali to extort as much money they could from Mr Joshi as possible. Mr Joshi thought that his plight would be over after paying Rs 64,500 in two installments but the fraudsters kept asking for more money on one excuse or the other. ![]() He also shared a copy of the email stating that the video was deleted," the FIR, registered on April 25, reads. "This made me gain some trust that they are actual police. When Mr Joshi contacted Bajirao, he demanded Rs 21,500 and Rs 43,000 through a digital wallet to get those videos deleted and also assured him that he would get back the money. ![]() He said that the video is going viral on YouTube and gave me the number of Dhyaneshwar Bajirao," he said. He said that Anjali is a drug smuggler whose actual name is Neha and shared a copy of the FIR. He said that he got information about the video call with Anjali and asked me whether you have contacted her," Mr Joshi told the police. "I called back on the number and the person told me that he is Rakesh Asthana, Police Commissioner of Delhi. Then on January 25, he missed a call from an unknown number. Mr Joshi said that he immediately blocked the number. Two days later on January 17, she shared a morphed obscene video of Mr Joshi and threatened that if he didn't pay Rs 61,000, she would make it viral on social media. She then asked for a video call and appeared nude, he said in his complaint, adding, "In a few minutes the call was disconnected." ![]() Matuzak sends Walker back to the past to restore history, and is shot by agents of the now-corrupt TEC.īack in 1994, Walker finds Fielding in the hospital. ![]() They realize that the original time machine prototype was never dismantled and that McComb has access to it, allowing him to neutralize the TEC. After a shootout with McComb's henchmen, Fielding is wounded and Walker escapes back to 2004.Īrriving in an altered future where McComb is a wealthy presidential frontrunner and has shut down the TEC, Walker appeals to Matuzak, who has no knowledge of the changes to history. Fielding turns on Walker, revealing she works for McComb. ![]() The older McComb warns his younger self that they must not touch because the same matter cannot occupy the same space, then kills Parker. They are interrupted by McComb from 2004, who advises his younger self that the chip will become highly profitable. They are sent back to 1994 to investigate McComb, and witness a disagreement with his business partner Jack Parker over manufacturing a new computer chip. ![]() Surviving an ambush by McComb’s henchmen, Walker is assigned a new partner, TEC rookie Sarah Fielding. Walker and Matuzak agree McComb is a criminal, but need solid evidence. Refusing to testify, Atwood is sentenced to death and returned to 1929 to complete his fatal fall. Fearing McComb will erase him from history, Atwood jumps to his death, but Walker catches him mid-leap and returns them to 2004. Atwood admits to working for Senator McComb, who is abusing his oversight of time travel technology to raise funds for his upcoming presidential campaign. Ten years later, Walker is a veteran TEC agent, and is sent back to October 1929 to prevent his former partner Lyle Atwood profiting from the stock market crash. Walker is left for dead as the house explodes, killing Melissa. Leaving home, he and his wife Melissa are attacked by unknown assailants.

In 1863 Gainesville, Georgia, a time traveller with modern laserdot-equipped machine-pistols slaughters five Confederate States Army soldiers and steals their shipment of gold. Although met with mixed reviews, it is generally regarded by critics as one of Van Damme's best films. Timecop remains Van Damme's highest-grossing film as a lead actor (his second to break the $100 million barrier worldwide), having become a cult classic with fans. The story follows Walker's life as he fights time-travel crime and investigates the politician's plans. It also stars Ron Silver as a corrupt politician and Mia Sara as Melissa Walker, the agent's wife. federal agent in 2004, when time travel has been made possible. The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Max Walker, a police officer in 1994 and later a U.S. It is the first installment in the Timecop franchise. The film is based on Timecop, a story created by Richardson, written by Verheiden, and drawn by Ron Randall, which appeared in the anthology comic Dark Horse Comics, published by Dark Horse Comics. Richardson also served as executive producer. Timecop is a 1994 American science fiction action film directed by Peter Hyams and co-written by Mike Richardson and Mark Verheiden. ![]() ![]() True, they could spot some signature characteristics, such as additional wiring between the frontal lobes (involved in analytical thought) and the seahorse-shaped hippocampus towards the side of the skull, an area thought to be our memory's "printing press". “It’s not like they had some extra lobe or a ‘third’ hemisphere of the brain,” says Stark. “It must be something about the way they hold on to the information that the rest of us aren’t doing,” Stark says.ĭisappointingly, brain scans have failed to reveal any huge anatomical differences that might explain how this occurs. In reality, the differences only emerged months down the line: whereas for the other subjects, they had become faded and vague, for the HSAM subjects the events were still just as fresh. He thought, for instance, that HSAM subjects begin at a richer starting point, encoding more details as soon as an event has occurred. Craig Stark at the University of California, Irvine recently questioned HSAM subjects one week, one month and one year after events in their life to see how their memories of events change over time. Some clues come from observing the way their memories evolve over time. ![]() They can be primed to remember world events that never actually occurred, for instance.Ĭlearly, there is no such thing as a “perfect” memory – their extraordinary minds are still using the same flawed tools that the rest of us rely on. ![]() And although their memories are vast, they are susceptible to some of the mistakes we all make: in 2013, Lawrence Patihis (now at the University of Southern Mississippi) and colleagues found that people with HSAM still suffer from “false memories”. “Sometimes I don’t remember what happened five minutes ago, but I can remember a detail from 22 January 2008,” explains “Bill”, who asked us not to use his full name to avoid unwanted attention. Nor are they necessarily better at remembering a round of drinks, say. Intriguingly, their memories are highly self-centred: although they can remember “autobiographical” life events in extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information, such as random lists of words. During one of his visits, Veiseh’s memory proved to be so accurate that he even found himself correcting the scientists’ test about the exact date that Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It didn’t take long for magazines and documentary film-makers to cotton on to her “total recall”, and thanks to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects (including Veiseh) have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California, Irvine. “None of us was able to recall this list,” McGaugh and his colleagues noted, but comparing her account with their own records, they found that she was absolutely accurate. In an instant, she reeled off a list of their appointments. After a few years of these sporadic studies, they decided to give her a further, spontaneous test: “Name the dates of every single time you’ve visited our lab”. Luckily, Price had also kept a diary throughout that period, allowing the researchers to verify her recollections of personal incidents too again, she was right the vast majority of the time. True to her word, she was correct almost every time. Intrigued, McGaugh invited her to his lab, and began to test her: he would give her a date and ask her to tell him about the world events on that day. Emailing the neuroscientist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh one day, she claimed that she could recall every day of her life since the age of 12. ‘Highly superior autobiographical memory’ (or HSAM for short), first came to light in the early 2000s, with a young woman named Jill Price. ![]() Points are earned through culture, and boosted 10% by each of your additional Wonder and cultural City-States.
