Gillmor Gang: Tablet Stakes

The Gillmor Gang ? Robert Scoble, Keith Teare, John Taschek, and Steve Gillmor ? played Minority Report The Home Version as Google entered the Tablet Wars. The Nexus 7 or some such is actually a phenomenal device, and brings the Goog back from the Slow Death of Fragmentation and a step ahead of Microsoft SquareFace. Now we've got two push notification platforms that will actually get built out, as long as Google keeps the Nexus refreshed on the latest Android build. Whether the Gang members are right about the timing remains to be deciphered from the conversation, but it's clear sailing for a unification of the metadata if not the actual notification streams.

Former No. 1 overall NFL draft pick King Hill dies at 75

King Hill, the quarterback who was the first player taken in the 1958 NFL draft, has died at the age of 75, according to the Houston Chronicle.

After a stellar college career at Rice in which he had a phenomenal senior season as a quarterback, punter, kicker and safety in 1957, Hill was taken first overall by the Chicago Cardinals the following year. Despite the team?s high hopes for him, Hill never became a consistent starting quarterback, although he did play well enough to stick around in the NFL for 12 seasons with the Cardinals, Eagles and Vikings.

When his playing career ended, Hill had a successful career as an assistant coach for 17 seasons. He was the only offensive coordinator Bum Phillips ever had, first working for Phillips with the Houston Oilers and then working for him for the New Orleans Saints. Phillips remembered Hill as a fine player, a fine coach and a fine man.

?This is a really sad day,? Phillips said. ?King was different from almost anybody I?ve ever worked with. He was the most polite, gentle man. And, [on the] football field, he was polite but direct. When he said something, he meant it. He was the ideal guy to have on your staff. [Coaching] wasn?t work to him. He really enjoyed it. He could communicate without all that hollering. You don?t need to raise your voice when you know what you?re talking about.?

As a player Hill was active in getting the NFL Players Association off the ground, and he became a scout for the Eagles after his coaching career ended. He spent most of his adult life in the NFL.

How the Health Insurance Mandate Penalty Will Work

(U.S. News & World Report) Beginning with their 2014?federal taxes, many consumers who can afford health insurance but decide not to buy it will owe penalties to the IRS when they file their taxes in the spring of 2015?

There is a long list of people who do not have health insurance but will not face a penalty on non-financial grounds: ?????????? between jobs and without insurance for up to three months ?????????? have religious objections ?????????? are an undocumented immigrant ?????????? are in jail ?????????? are a member of an Indian tribe The financial tests to avoid a penalty include having family income that is too low to require filing a federal tax return. Using 2010 rules, this would be less than $9,350 for an individual and $18,700 for a family. Higher-earning households may also be exempted from penalties for not buying health insurance if their out-of-pocket cost for private health insurance is more than 8 percent of their taxable income. This amount is for any additional cost after subtracting employer healthcare insurance contributions.

DC chief: Reports differ on officer's 'threats'

(AP Photo/Donn Jones)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? If your job is protecting the first lady's motorcade, mouthing off about the boss can lead to more than a citation in a personnel file.

A District of Columbia police officer found that out this week when he came under investigation for threatening comments he was accused of making about first lady Michelle Obama, though police are still trying to figure out exactly what was said, Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Friday.

"Five people can be in the room and will relate five different kinds of stories or versions of a story," Lanier said. "As we take statements, there's going to naturally in every investigation be some inconsistencies."

Authorities have not identified the officer, a 17-year department veteran who has been placed on paid desk duty. He had been assigned to a unit that provides a motor escort for the White House and other dignitaries.

Lanier said the officer is accused of making a threat about the first lady ? a comment overheard by another officer and then reported to a superior. The department's internal affairs division and the U.S. Secret Service are investigating the remarks and taking statements from officers who heard them.

The Washington Post cited anonymous police officials in reporting that the officer allegedly told colleagues over breakfast at a restaurant that he would shoot the first lady and then showed a photo on his mobile phone of a gun he would use. He may also have used a phone application that makes the sound of gunfire, the newspaper reported.

Lanier said she couldn't say for sure exactly what the officer may have said.

"Right now, because we're still taking statements, I can tell you that we haven't gotten to that point where we can kind of figure out what the real, closest to the best-kind-of-story" is, the chief said.

It's also not clear how seriously the comments were meant to be taken, but the officer could be referred for criminal prosecution if investigators believe his comment constituted an actual threat against the first lady. He could also face administrative discipline for conduct unbecoming. While the Secret Service investigates threats against the first family as a matter of routine, the comments no doubt take on added seriousness given the officer's role within the department.

There was no indication of a legitimate threat to the first lady.

"We have in the 150 years we've existed assisted in protecting the president, the first lady and foreign heads of state as they travel around the city, and we do it flawlessly," Lanier said. "The amount of frustration and outrage and hurt to the members of this agency, if the allegation is true, cannot be overstated."

Mayor Vincent Gray said in an appearance on NewsChannel 8 in Washington on Friday that it was hard to believe a police officer would do or say the types of things alleged.

But, he added, "There's no room for jokes or frivolity when you're dealing with the first family."

Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said the agency was aware of the report and was taking "appropriate follow-up steps."

A White House spokesman said Friday that President Barack Obama was also aware of the investigation but had nothing to say about it, and he referred questions to the Secret Service. Typically, in the case of a threat against a member of the first family, the Secret Service interviews participants and witnesses and then decides how to proceed.

What?s Under the Hood of the 320 GB PS3

As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 320 GB system features an IBM ?Cell? processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 320 GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit?s smaller size and quieter fan possible.

Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 320 GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution*** for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 320 GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet.

Blu-ray, PlayStation Network Downloads and Beyond

PlayStation 3 utilizes the Blu-ray disc media format ? the only game console that does so. This gives users the best high-definition viewing experience on your television, by way of the format?s ability to hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This tremendous capacity, combined with the awesome power of the system?s processor and graphics card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing games and other multimedia content. This doesn?t mean though that the PS3 is limited to Blu-ray discs. It also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software includes BD Live support that allows you to play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE), meaning you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format to obtain additional features. And of course PS3 owners also receive free access to the PlayStation Network (PSN), where through the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home, they can download games, game demos, movies and other content, as well as chat with friends, play mini-games, compete in tournaments and explore dedicated game spaces.

By integrating all of these features into the popular PlayStation controller design, the DualShock 3 further enhances the advanced gameplay experience only available with the PlayStation 3 system.
