  • With all the buzz about Amazon's new Kindle 2, you'd think this revamped e-book reader was the most advanced piece of technology this side of designer babies. After all, for $359, you get a color screen, Wi-Fi and Web browsing, video playback, 60GB of storage, and a reasonably usable keyboard.
  • Not only is there a wide range of PC software available for buying and displaying e-books (and tons of free content as well), when you're done with all that highbrow readin', pop open a Web browser and rot your brain with some Hulu videos.

No, that's what $350 can get you if invested in even a low-end Netbook, such as the new 10-inch Acer Aspire One.

    BlackBerry Z10 is the touchscreen version which is very similar to the other smartphones available in the market. Display with 4.2inch screen gives a resolution of 1268 x 768 pixels i.e. 768 pixels per inch. The BlackBerry Z10 is easier to use than Android and more powerful, giving faster access to e-mails, tweets, facebook updates and messages. The Z10 has 16GB on inbuilt memory. Unlike the iPhone, the BlackBerry Z10 will allow user to extend the storage with microSD card slot. It sports a chip letting the phone act as a credit card at few payment terminals and share data wirelessly when tapped against some other phones. BlackBerry Z10 comes with handsome cameras with 8MP on back and 2MP on the front. The rear camera can record is a 1080p high definition camera while the front has 720p resolution. One more good thing about the BlackBerry Z10 is its battery life. The talk time is upto 10hrs on 3G. Upto 60 hours of audio playback and 11 hours of video playback. The BlackBerry messenger (BBM) in BlackBerry Z10 includes voice calling and video chatting and allows user to share its screen with another. Another distinguishing feature is the BlackBerry Balance which allows two personas on the same device still keeping the individual data secure. One can set Work mode and personal mode and can switch between them easily. The Time shift is a camera feature that lets you capture a group shot where everyone is smiling with their eyes wide open. BlackBerry Z10 introduces new browser which includes HTML5 support which has a reader mode.

    Does the flagship Gionee have what it takes to become the flagship of choice for Android phone fans? When Gionee released the Gionee Elife E7 the whole smartphone world stood back and took notice! The Elife E7 is the phone which has propelled Gionee in to the spotlight and the phone which will create a name for the long time smartphone maker. Although well known here in China and in India, Gionee have yet to really set the world alight but that all changed with the launch of the Elife series of phones. The first Elife model, the Elife E6, proved that Gionee know how to design an attractive, well made phone with capable hardware. The Gionee Elife E7 sealed the deal by taking the hardware level to 11 while remaining competitively priced! This is the flagship Gionee Elife E7 which boats 3GB RAM and Snapdragon 800 processor. The original Chinese review can be seen here, we have translated the review as best we can for English readers to enjoy. Gionee Elife E7 Review - 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 800 flagship phone The version of the Gionee Elife E7 on review here is the top-of-the-range version with all the bells and whistles. The quad-core processor is a 2.2Ghz Snapdragon 8974, there is an amazing 3GB RAM and the 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 display gets a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to help prevent scratches. The Elife E7 also receives Gionee's own Amigo OS based on Android and featuring some rather exciting camera features. Compared to Gionee's previous flagship phone, the Gionee Elife E6, with Mediatek chipset and 5 inch display the Elife E7 is a completely different beast: Gionee Elife E6 Gionee Elife E7 Screen Size 5-inch 5.5-inch CPU Mediatek MT6589T Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU Speed 1.5Ghz 2.2Ghz GPU PowerVR 544 Adreno 330 RAM 2GB 3GB Front Camera 5 mega-pixel 8 mega-pixel Rear Camera 13 mega-pixel 16 mega-pixel.

  • 翻译者袁天鹏说：罗伯特议事规则中有一条，是不能以道德的名义去怀疑别人的动机。这个规则背后有比较深刻的哲学理念。一来动机是不可证实的东西；二来会议要审议的不是某个人，而是某件事情，对动机的怀疑和揭露本身就是对议题的偏离；第三，利己性是人类共有的本性，在不侵害他人和社会利益的前提下，追求利益最大化并不为过，指责他人的动机本身毫无意义，不仅不能解决问题，反而增加矛盾。

    Comic books can be useful tools in improving literacy and teaching even reluctant readers some of the terminology typically associated with other forms of text. In this lesson, students will be introduced to onomatopoeia, which describes words that imitate the natural sound associated with an action or an object. Using comic books and strips, students will find onomatopoetic words, develop a vocabulary list from the words, and discuss why writers, especially writers of comics, use onomatopoeia. Students then use an online tool to create their own comic strips using onomatopoeia.

  • Arthur Miller once described a good newspaper as “a nation talking to itself.” If only in this respect, the Huffington Post is a great newspaper. It is not unusual for a short blog post to inspire a thousand posts from readers—posts that go off in their own directions and lead to arguments and conversations unrelated to the topic that inspired them. Occasionally, these comments present original perspectives and arguments, but many resemble the graffiti on a bathroom wall.

      "A Nation Talking to Itself...Hmmm...Sounds like the Blogosphere to me...
  • Democratic theory demands that citizens be knowledgeable about issues and familiar with the individuals put forward to lead them. And, while these assumptions may have been reasonable for the white, male, property-owning classes of James Franklin’s Colonial Boston, contemporary capitalist society had, in Lippmann’s view, grown too big and complex for crucial events to be mastered by the average citizen.
  • Lippmann likened the average American—or “outsider,” as he tellingly named him—to a “deaf spectator in the back row” at a sporting event: “He does not know what is happening, why it is happening, what ought to happen,” and “he lives in a world which he cannot see, does not understand and is unable to direct.” In a description that may strike a familiar chord with anyone who watches cable news or listens to talk radio today, Lippmann assumed a public that “is slow to be aroused and quickly diverted . . . and is interested only when events have been melodramatized as a conflict.” A committed élitist, Lippmann did not see why anyone should find these conclusions shocking. Average citizens are hardly expected to master particle physics or post-structuralism. Why should we expect them to understand the politics of Congress, much less that of the Middle East?
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Dewey also criticized Lippmann’s trust in knowledge-based élites. “A class of experts is inevitably so removed from common interests as to become a class with private interests and private knowledge,” he argued.
  • The history of the American press demonstrates a tendency toward exactly the kind of professionalization for which Lippmann initially argued.
  • The Lippmann model received its initial challenge from the political right.
  • A liberal version of the Deweyan community took longer to form, in part because it took liberals longer to find fault with the media.
  • The birth of the liberal blogosphere, with its ability to bypass the big media institutions and conduct conversations within a like-minded community, represents a revival of the Deweyan challenge to our Lippmann-like understanding of what constitutes “news” and, in doing so, might seem to revive the philosopher’s notion of a genuinely democratic discourse.
  • The Web provides a powerful platform that enables the creation of communities; distribution is frictionless, swift, and cheap. The old democratic model was a nation of New England towns filled with well-meaning, well-informed yeoman farmers. Thanks to the Web, we can all join in a Deweyan debate on Presidents, policies, and proposals. All that’s necessary is a decent Internet connection.
  • In October, 2005, at an advertisers’ conference in Phoenix, Bill Keller complained that bloggers merely “recycle and chew on the news,” contrasting that with the Times’ emphas
  • “Bloggers are not chewing on the news. They are spitting it out,” Arianna Huffington protested in a Huffington Post blog.
  • n a recent episode of “The Simpsons,” a cartoon version of Dan Rather introduced a debate panel featuring “Ron Lehar, a print journalist from the Washington Post.” This inspired Bart’s nemesis Nelson to shout, “Haw haw! Your medium is dying!” “Nelson!” Principal Skinner admonished the boy. “But it is!” was the young man’s reply.
  • The survivors among the big newspapers will not be without support from the nonprofit sector.
  • And so we are about to enter a fractured, chaotic world of news, characterized by superior community conversation but a decidedly diminished level of first-rate journalism. The transformation of newspapers from enterprises devoted to objective reporting to a cluster of communities, each engaged in its own kind of “news”––and each with its own set of “truths” upon which to base debate and discussion––will mean the loss of a single national narrative and agreed-upon set of “facts” by which to conduct our politics. News will become increasingly “red” or “blue.” This is not utterly new. Before Adolph Ochs took over the Times, in 1896, and issued his famous “without fear or favor” declaration, the American scene was dominated by brazenly partisan newspapers. And the news cultures of many European nations long ago embraced the notion of competing narratives for different political communities, with individual newspapers reflecting the views of each faction. It may not be entirely coincidental that these nations enjoy a level of political engagement that dwarfs that of the United States.
  • he transformation will also engender serious losses. By providing what Bill Keller, of the Times, calls the “serendipitous encounters that are hard to replicate in the quicker, reader-driven format of a Web site”—a difference that he compares to that “between a clock and a calendar”—newspapers have helped to define the meaning of America to its citizens.
  • Just how an Internet-based news culture can spread the kind of “light” that is necessary to prevent terrible things, without the armies of reporters and photographers that newspapers have traditionally employed, is a question that even the most ardent democrat in John Dewey’s tradition may not wish to see answered. ♦
  • Finally, we need to consider what will become of those people, both at home and abroad, who depend on such journalistic enterprises to keep them safe from various forms of torture, oppression, and injustice.

    There's a long history of comics in the classroom, and the list of references at the end of this article is a great starting point for learning about this concept. While there's still resistance to this medium being used in education - whether by staff or students - there is also a growing movement to use every valuable tool available. Comics have some great uses in the classroom and in a variety of curricula. From pre-readers to high school students, from English to ESL to Science and Math, comics can help students analyze, synthesize and absorb content that may be more difficult when presented in only one way.
