Nokia Lumia 925 and Windows Phone 8 trial: Day 3

On Thursday I decided to check out the Nokia Lumia 925?s video capabilities. That?s a frame grab above I continue to be impressed with this phone?s image quality.

Indeed the video, which I?ve entitled Strathfield to Central for obvious reasons, is the highlight not only of Day 3 of my Nokia Lumia 925 / Windows Phone 8 trial but of the entire trial so far.

I had hoped to embed the full video here. But I?m on mobile bandwidth today, and unless I upload a gigabyte or two of data, it simply won?t do it justice. So it?ll have to wait a while. Stand by.

Meanwhile, here?s the rest of my bullet-point observations from Day 3.

1. Confirmed: Handling the phone while it?s acting as a Wi-Fi hotspot all too frequently causes client devices to drop out. Windows Phone 8 calls this feature ?internet sharing?. What seems to happen is that when the 3G/4G data link dies for any reason, the phone decides that without an internet to share, it?ll stop bothering with Wi-Fi to connect to it. This is in contrast to my Samsung Galaxy S III 4G running Android, which treats the 3G/4G link and the Wi-Fi link as independent network interfaces. Mind you, that?s all mere supposition on my part. I?ll confirm it with Microsoft and Nokia on Monday.
2. There?s no built-in flashlight app ? something I discovered at around 1am while trying to walk down a cold, dark, deserted rural road. I can?t remember whether Android comes with one by default, or whether it?s a default Samsung thing, or whether it?s a third-party widget that was carried across automatically from one phone to the next, but it was a surprise to suddenly find myself without it.
3. The phone?s numerical keypad and all the buttons for speaker, mute etc can?t be on screen at the same time. You have to switch between the two modes, as shown in the image above. This is somewhat annoying, particularly as it looks likes there?d be room for all of them on one screen.

The trial continues until the end of Tuesday. You can follow it live on Twitter, where I?m using the hashtag #LumiaWP8trial.

The UPS Store to offer 3D printing service in select San Diego locations (video)

Today, The UPS Store announced its plan to bring 3D printing services to the masses. The shipping company will soon roll out Stratasys Uprint SE Plus printers to 60 locations in San Diego to test out the new service; it'll be aimed at small businesses, start-ups and retail customers in need of a professional grade model to produce things like prototypes and artistic renderings. At $20,900 a pop, Stratasys printers aren't exactly the kind of gadget you'd purchase for home use, so their availability at UPS stores is a pretty major step towards making high quality 3D printing an accessible option for the common man. Though the company is starting small, it hopes to expand the service nationwide, provided that the San Diego experiment proves successful. For more info, check out the video after the break.

COULTER: O'Reilly's bad history | The Daily Caller

• 

Does anyone read anymore? I mean, besides tweets from Anthony Weiner?

During his otherwise excellent commentaries on race in America, Bill O?Reilly, host of the No. 1 cable news show, claimed on Tuesday night that the one person who tried to help African-Americans more than any other was ? Robert F. Kennedy!

No one laughed. I guess that?s what they?re teaching these days at the John F. Kennedy School of Government. (I can?t wait to hear how Ted Kennedy helped eradicate drunk driving!)

According to O?Reilly?s Bizarro-World history, Bobby Kennedy was ?the guy who was really concerned about African-Americans? and ?who really did something. ? He went in with the federal government and he cleaned out the rat?s nest that was abusing African-Americans in the South.?

Although this myth has been polished to perfection by the Kennedy PR machine (requiring all Kennedy stories to illustrate either courage or adorableness), it is simply a fact that helping blacks was not the Democrats? priority. Even the ones who wanted to, such as Bobby and John Kennedy, couldn?t risk upsetting the segregationists, more than 90 percent of whom were Democratic.

The job of actually enforcing civil rights and desegregating Southern schools fell to Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.

Five years after Eisenhower had shown the Democrats how it?s done by sending federal troops to desegregate Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., President Kennedy and brother Bobby still dragged their feet in helping James Meredith enter the University of Mississippi.

On Feb. 7, 1961, Meredith wrote a beautiful letter to the Department of Justice, describing his inability to enroll at the University of Mississippi, He wrote:

?Whenever I attempt to reason logically about this matter, it grieves me deeply to realize that an individual, especially an American, the citizen of a free democratic nation, has to clamor with such procedures in order to try to gain just a small amount of his civil and human rights, and even after suffering the embarrassments and personal humiliation of this procedure, there still seems little hope of success.?

The full letter is worth looking up. I would venture to guess there are not many college applicants of any race who write this well today. (You know why? Because Americans don?t read anymore. You watch cable news and fill your heads with nonsense history and false facts.)

In response to Meredith?s eloquent letter, Bobby Kennedy did nothing.?And that?s how Bobby Kennedy ?cleaned out the rat?s nest that was abusing African-Americans in the South?!

Remember: This was seven years?after?the Supreme Court had already handed down its decision in Brown v. Board of Education ? a ruling expressly endorsed in the Republican Party platform, but not the Democratic platform, I might add.

But Democrats were in the White House, so Meredith had to take his case to the Supreme Court. Liberals were engaging in their usual massive resistance to court rulings they don?t like and neither Bobby nor John Kennedy would dare try to stop them.
