Today its Friday may sixth 2011 mining Steven — – Im Wilson day. Im Brian Tong with the book download. Episodes at 1460 port here on the NPR news — Will — here joining us they will. — saying from the oral or in the house in Minneapolis Friday Wilson youve been — – — – for a week. Yup yup I love your city beautiful. To be ended immediately thought it when hes when hes based at a concrete jungle — your — – — got on the screen here. Deathly deathly isnt going down the street its so comfortable I could see why everybody theres a lot Asian people. Well yes how. I it was a very diverse plays just like dealer. There there is a little extra — persuasion — Owns most and I remember getting out of the Bart train and being completely surrounded by agents per second I thought it was actually in China town if you look. There are also begin at the knees and — every — is. The — beautifully legacy music. — isnt just like how would — talent there. Anyways guy if you — – indicates how is look them up because you shed now definitely. But it is Wilson — are coming on the show today were gonna try and bring a little more a serious than out of — – we will have plans. — – trust and trust me on this well I gotta get you on my show the full force sometime next week. And trust — guys if you listen to this so I guarantee. HR will burst through the door its gotten what it — seven staff. Us beyond the few times Ive been on — other reason why havent come back price often is we might shut the show how I dont — and there are some. — we do we knew we it to goes the — and and I legally and — with — a mine it should Ive done that I can just shut them down that was when too many neat and yes the I — absolutely grab a bite so thats — the classic. Okay guys on the news because really do you care about us talking up thats up now you dont care about whats happened in the tech world we must — things — There is still. Still plenty of Sony — to talk about. Exclusive from cnets own air target or circuit breaker blogger circuitry to block a group of hackers say its now planning — another wave of cyber attacks against Sony in retaliation. For its handling and of the PlayStation network breach. The observer and observer of the Internet relay chat channel used by hackers told CNET directly at their third — – is planned for this weekend against Sonys web sites — – — this time. I dont see that its getting to a point — why — like. Okay you took down in this allegedly. Is the same group that did target Sony they — outright — that there anonymous. But they did say that they were related to the earlier — as well. The people involved plan — publicize them the information they were already able to copy from Sony servers include customer names credit cards addresses. All the information that we talked about I dont see whats the point in doing this the third time. Its really like taking some — again paying yet yet and hes getting to a point where its like cmon guys. People are pissed they cant play a playstations and more but I think theres incredible long term damage for Sony on this. I mean like — end. What their response the whole thing. I mean this is its eight took too long for them to do absolutely but them for a hacker group to come in sort of — kick a mother down. Completely unacceptable — – people spent good money. On the PlayStation this want to play. — there it doesnt it doesnt help this do I really. If theyre just mad that Sony said sorry and it wasnt they need a hug — – You have good guys and you go after Sony for a third time you need a — I will give you — hunt personally and youll — and. — – — – — does do you think is the bigger issues like for the long term. Would you ever trust Sony with their credit card information even — like you know to be — – probably — way more about security than anybody else now after the ct. Were — Mikey this for future of downloadable content are you ever gonna feel safe putting your credit card number. In one of the devices. I think the question is goes even beyond that is do you even feel safe giving anyone on the Internet your credit card because — because we all know. Everything is hackable PPS and has been now of the whipping boy. And kind of a model for what what can go wrong and possibly. What will go wrong the feature because hackers be they wont stop and this is this is another example they wont stop for myself. — – Im just part Im part of the generation that is going to do all my behavior on land its not gonna stop me I just hope that companies are gonna take. More precautions and really beef up their network to take care — now Sony in response Howard Howard Stringer we had actually talked — two days ago. About where is his apology — his letter to customers. He released a letters apologizing but again. Theyre theyre wears no there if I recall right and I looked through his entire letter I do not even use the find searcher I did read through once. I dont think he actually used the word sorry at all and you know — Im correct I just — search. He did not use the word sorry and all he said dear friends I know this has been of pressuring time for you all let — issued resource the company have been focused. He continues to go down. Go down in the story I — said it. He heres the catch light as a company we and I apologize for — in canyons and concern caused by the stack and thats the classic we apologize for the inconvenience. Just say the word sorry. Well beyond that like okay sorry apology — semantics the things is that they should have said sari. We screwed up when it comes to our security not be inconvenient to — like we did not do enough. To secure service — – customers when he. Yes — Sony they are stepping up though and trying to show that they are really serious about this. In the recent announcement of other measures that theyre gonna be taking Sonys offering. Free debt makes identity theft protection for PS and security curiosity — victims in the US so what. — exposes if your data your personal data shows up on boards on in a hat and with also if its. Revealed that has become public they monitor criminal activity known — – showcase your private digits of — not. Youll be covered for up to one million dollars — ID. Theft insurance coverage weve. Ive never heard of — – until now so we dont know really. Im not miliar with how legitimate — services normally people do you pay ten dollars a month for this but this is a way telly show people that they are serious and at least care. For them to cover you for a year I Id Id definitely like that in addition and then just saying okay heres a free month of PlayStation whats. The Fremont doesnt bother me so — doesnt — Wipe the slate clean for me as much but this is like what I expected. Because what normal companies — IKEA it happens all time somebody from finance lease a laptop out. And everybody Social Security come number at a company gets revealed. And the standard procedures for an insurance company. Or ninety theft compete like this to come — Now I dont think this that I think its unprecedented on this scale and this companys got to be millions and millions of dollars cousins. We found that there — about seventy plus million just from PS and on top of 25 million from a I guess Sony online entertainment so this is a hundred million customers signing up for this. I think that the guy that went out the most is dead X you know this. All this new business for them. Great idea will see how it actually works — that what happens when. Your credit card gets charged whats procedure like is it gonna be a pain in the — in the but. And thats — the big thing because at Yemen based Sonys argument holding up the big chunk of via insurance million. This one and one reason why thinks Sony is also doing this is up to this point Sony has said based on the hack on the — a network none of the credit card companies have filed that. Criminal activity has been directly related to the credit cards that — – now people were writing in again we reiterate this that they had some suspicious charges but. At the same time if — time to — of a hundred — people there are always people that are getting suspicious charges from other for other reasons as well. — – other reasons and then that opens up the possibility hay island at PS3. — should I go in charge a couple thousand dollars some gold watch is — And you Leone and Angola. I let — – But — – — – the details of academics. Our plan theyre offering cyber monitoring and surveillance of the Internet today at tech exposure — customers personal information. Theres also priority access to licensed private investigators and identity restoration specialist. As well as the one million dollar identity that — – policy per user. One other — note is that — only at the moment will be covering. Users in the United States theyre looking to find similar programs internationally. But at the moment. Just US users and another thing is — its probably legal in — users. That are currently using PS — if you sign up Europeans — network account once the service opened back up. I highly doubt youll get covered but you might as well try. While the service is gonna be opening back up in the next couple of days hopefully hopefully somebody says — in the final stages of internal testing. I dont know and I — feel like hed — actually this is the one time did they should bring dual — back in the whole thing they do. Take a crack at it. — – break this before they release again thats — – the first thing that happens as soon as it opens up a flood of hackers are gonna be like oh its you can take this on badly. I was I was the first to say I just want them to take their time and make sure it works and have is that you know these security teams they have working on this. Are no doubt trying to — it anyways so what they said there in the final stages and internal testing — and of — – towards restoring the place if you know or give you guys wanna find out what is really going on. At least for the most part — it is possible to go to blogs Sonys PlayStation blog widgets — blogger dot US dot PlayStation dot com. They have once they started releasing information they pretty much but at the post every day for the past — – keep you in the loop which is a good thing. It do you think that the sort of the new service though is gonna be over print overly protected or you can happily walking with your password. Every time wanna play video game is that sort of like that the approach to happen with a Windows Vista as the inmous — user account settings. Every time you need and might download a a JPEG off the Internet have heard your password. Is — considerably — in the gaming experience. Its not a question you know I I ideally I hope not I dont. Its up to them secure their network in the back — and not let back in the way I dont I dont think they would change it — a security expert we talked about like TD — ago. During some of the hearings or during some of the when Sony was invited to talk about what it — a security experts said that in forums. That there are now Sonys PlayStation network was using outdated Apache servers with no firewall and it was posted on forums around the — three months before the attack. This is according to him okay — thats ridiculous and so. You know it dont change the user experience just change your security — all right — also just a follow up with we mentioned last passes. Kind of sensitivity towards all these things are happening around network intrusions last passes CEO explained the possible — and he said. That he might have been a little too alarmist in assuming the worst but. Even if it ended up hurting his companys image he said they wanted to act quickly to make sure everyone is formed last past. Is and like the password aggregators that enables you to treat a master password to access a lot of the web — email accounts. — accounts that use one point that he did make clear is that if you had. A sophisticated. — master password the chances that even if they were acquired the data that the hackers were able to acquire any data. The chances that they would be able to access your — was very low the data that. They — might have been were released. Was very minimal so — billion won the yeah if there was made in humans they just were all to because — monopoly on the network didnt say exactly what it was but. At the end of the day. Data even if it was this — – and access it wasnt enough to really take down all their users otherwise they would have been even more aggressive about this. Do you think — like give in this attack given the last pass — a couple months ago there was the huge tech and the caucus sites. Its clearly. Six privacy and security become like the forefront of the biggest issue on the Internet. I mean do we need a new paradigm — password sort of like passe is just something else. Might be more effective but still balance — the usability. In the future I dont know the answer to that. But I am concerned — suspect that you know like I just I dont expect my email anymore and to be secure I dont expect my not by that and my email address. Expect anybody — network live. Now which is kind of upsetting. And all sorts — – its slew of personal information. And I know there are sort of the new regulations might not one other issue that has very much worry about. Is the whole identity — signing up for. A credit cards alone and — not all before all you really need it was your mothers maiden name you can kind of — that out just on FaceBook. The idea. They need to do ce scans. Its kind of data you basically hands. And I dont want you be able to hold a still picture of the IE I needed a little turtle — and the right double blink. — – — – Imaginative yet he is computer network provided urine sample list of current I like a blood samples and figured. That can tell — have a bucket here under the table doesnt have some — – — – so long. That I cannot leave this daylight is letting — So if if that is the new intece. A — – occasions that Ill get. And get Wilson. — right also in no more this is in the river of news but this is this could be pretty — a new rumor claims that Apple is planning to potentially deeds. In cell processors. Sometime by the end of 2000 — over early 2013 instead. To adopt arm architecture. Its currently found obviously in the devices like the iPhone and the iPad but this would be. Potentially implementing them in to their desktops. And laptops this is sources semi semi accurate which is sent — – for — connectors. They really dont. You know — got a — information in general but they were. One of the sites that did report that Apple was transiting from Nvidia chip — other vendors and — – — – Us and at least have a little credibility. This to be pre is to be pretty — Intel just announce their new 3-D architecture chip. And really — trying to say this will be great for mobile devices really trying to almost — about in order to get Apples interest but. It but some people are speculating that it might be too late in Apples already made the deal to lock down and move towards arm. I dont know I really dont like I think for especially high and use this is what you really what — desktop for. I know arms performs is certainly increase over the last couple of years to be desktop competitive but I dont know whether its like work. Workstation competitive just yet I think actually might one possibilities of — the hybrid solution. Where you still have — – Intel CPU but the GPU. May actually have an arm component which would make you know sort of this. Across — last Mac OS development a lot easier. Any given sort of Apples market — they certainly can do that. And they do own a big chunk of power PR which does do the graphics for the iPhone — the iPad. That might be a way to do — but I I dont know I think theres. Although people have said that they would never switch from power PC to Intel. Yes in time yeah I think one thing that you — arms calling card is really theyve had longer battery life with lower power chips but like you said it will arm be able to. Get — when it comes to the high powered — you know theyve proven their worth. More over and over in the mobile space but we timeout a desktop based processes that now requires a lot more juice and all the if theyve proved its Apple weve seen how optimize at least one Apple — their OS with the arm processors how how its and ally you know. Now that I also think like ten years from now that question is very much open and I think that ten years from now we may actually see. Mac OS-X solely on arm. But two or three years. I havent seen anything from then that would say Im gonna replace that when it comes to file cut editing or — – high in three graphic. Yeah this again this is very rumors speculation but. Just — can — you where maybe others in the industry are doing even Microsoft theyre planning use arm architecture in the future in windows in the windows eight platform. So — dont — – there are some bread crumbs but again. And these are bread — okay guys dont dont get all crazy on a solid what they said its happening now its not just test. Okay guys religious settle things down for a moment and take a little — – — return well be talking about AT&T. Other corporations and all the mobile carriers — in Washington next week as well as Smartphone growth. Apple taking numbers. Welcome back to buzz — – everybody on this beautiful. Bright it does it whats the weather like avenue or is it pretty — Arctic OK so this is the — I mean everything. Out but its its really the like two weeks of good weather we have an — and — right now yeah yeah I mean like in New York you do — like way — yes. Only to call them right now its sort of its in that 970 degrees. Thats — right now though details of this is on near lonetree dont know — Dont know. Let me tell you last week I was bundled — – its — you want in on the street it was a model — because they drive down the sixty Im sorry guys. Im just telling you also Id like to tell the viewers and listeners that. Wilson was adjusting his camera because he didnt like the angle and I — a few pointers and how it you know show his. — – a little thing Im really. Glad — and real about it but I he had no this isnt actually amazingly for whether its a beautiful beautiful city October losers in Canada and other cold. Areas like Wisconsin. — Im not gonna Im not — – — was — to but trust me this I mean. Im due to my hand my — from Hawaii still its a nice out here at the brown keeps in Browner OK I dont even know what that means that on this — – All that particularly — – start with an SRI. Next week. This week has been a big week in the news for the government but next week you know government meaning maybe Osama bin Laden getting knocked out but next week is going to be — big time. For some of the mobile carriers and the tech world. AT&T CE OT mobile CEO sprint CEO and though was the other smaller us cellular south. — CEOs will are on the witness list. To talk about the proposed 39 billion dollar acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T. Youll. One of the notes that they make about the hearing is that its title. The AT&T T-Mobile merger is Humpty Dumpty being put back together again. This clearly vors AT&T and T-Mobile to be there in such a non — style environment but at. Dan — has been adamant about the merger and now cellular south CEO Im not even Im not a musher who — what areas — what — cellular south. A covers theyll be there at the Syrians in addition — that it wont be the only big — – Capitol Hill next week Apple and Google are also. Scheduled to appear before judiciary subcommittee on privacy technology and law about the location based data. Location based data practices. Well I mean these are two very. Sort of intermingle but separate issues. The AT&T and T-Mobile — it — – I think has stirred a lot of our passion in late customers not super techie people who have experienced the hell that might be AT&T service. And T — merger because they dont want to see that. And its only good to see you know congress stepping in Indian whoa. You know Im sure a couple of them have — – a. The couple got a lot different theyre not — Blackberry — get to that later and it. Yeah but you know I I. — sort of a lot of people about this whole AT&T and T-Mobile merger and the word is is — – — that theres too much money involved not to happen. And and the thing is though is that theyre not gonna look at national. And theyre looking at her market and eighteen hes can make just. Enough right moves locally for — to get through and I would be really disappointed because its its gonna be almost what is it thirty years since the break up. Twenty or thirty years since the breakup. And — and hes essentially to be put back together. — get the band back together New Kids On The Block of — – needed in five years. Lets — AT&TS so long I want it that way. Open it but you see what happened afterwards — went AT&T broke off. UB. I gotta though it didnt. Bonnet that — We — very well. — really knows what is that — but dont start a little like colonizing on this Im not gonna start today. I think youve got another career in your just mean — answers on that — the other big. Issue is is the privacy concern. And a lot of companies that are sort of looking — that — for the instant gratification walking down the street. Whether they contract you bet there incident whether they cannot view — deal so I think congress is finally looking distancing any. In — this might actually kind of dangerous. Yet. We had talked about Apple released their updates IOS four point 3.3 which. Pretty much res alls or Jess is a lot of these location data issues that they had with the logging on and wonder of data show like any. We fix that — what have I done. Peace out I really dont make more money now. I was really the timing of it gonna be and it couldnt be better where the — You know why are you doing this were not — anymore. Its done why were doing this reluctant anymore — – — – in via the bugs and we use the bug — Also under — one reason — T-Mobile probably want this merger to happen. T-Mobile reported losses of 471. Contract customers thats — net — customers in the first quarter compared to. 3181000. — in the fourth quarter and thats a 77000. — a year from a year ago. T-Mobile said the decline in net contract customers was driven primarily. By fewer contract — customer additions and continued — contract churn due to. Competitive pressures. — The iPhone at the thunderbolt to the amazing phones. Its — This is these are just some of you know T mobiles — theyre not doing so hot but they would they want this merger happened more than anyone else. Well I mean theyre hemorrhaging employees and Im pleased — customers. And the question is now that their board obviously wants this happened is if — AT mobile shareholder. I youre gonna be getting an actual premium. On the Clinton — – — – silver lining. But as the T-Mobile customer. It it doesnt incentivize them in any way to compete now. And I think one of the blessings that — could be doing is really getting these new funds to be honest I actually really love T-Mobile service. In New York City out and it sucked in some other parts of the country but in New York because nobody. Nobody thinks to use it yeah. We did — with test is the stest service in New York City I love it I wish that we could have more. Legit competition and — T as revealed in the news — com article actually owns the most spectrum. — – — Just not just not higher broadband frequency that support four — spectrum right. Is valid is well they they all — – — using it effectively. They own more than Verizon more than anybody else and theyre not using effectively and I dont think theyre — – effectively when they get it from T-Mobile. To be frank they dont — T mobiles customers. NYT mobile spectrum. — – They want the bandwidth — yup and just to let you guys know that was not Wilson tang and at T-Mobile — where the guys like in the dwindling media. And Newton and you know what Im talking about — – — Wilsons covered in pink. I wonder if I let that if I — – — you look like captain Zeta-Jones right now. T-Mobile — you may be — Im never coming on this dance a Im just — about it. Also on in the Smartphone world the IDC says Smartphones — Sony nine point 7%. The biggest — behind this Apple has now slid up to — number two spot behind Nokia. In shipments for phones in the first quarter 2000 women Nokia shipped when he four point two million phones market — 24%. Apple shipped eighteen point seven million phones a market share at eighteen point 7%. — Oh no sorry you guys actually mean — yeah — – rhetoric rhetoric that was why the numbers the same button and why are the numbers for the same. — – not a huge surprise I I dont think Im actually more surprised that Nokia is up there in terms of Smartphones and theyre really popular in Europe. But I have never heard anybody in the last year to be stoked about a Nokia Smartphone. — rim attorney rim hurting the most drop being. Down to thirteenth when you know why this survey threw me off. It — the total of devices sold happened to be 100 million devices 100 million so. When I saw the number 24 and — 44% on reading this wrong Michael what — on. It just happened to be a hundred — places exit pretty much to the — Brenda — – Samsung and HD. Round out the top five but yeah. — – then the second charts of underneath all this. Is. All — so not just Smartphones but all phones and Nokia still — strong 108. Million units sold. But to be I — probably make only couple bucks off each one of those. — well — – market right off — feature phones as in — rate the the average growth of the market — 79 point 7%. Rim had probably rim and Nokia specifically. Had some of the light — growth Nokias was only twelve point 6% Apple had a 114%. Growth this is your — and rim came in at 31% so. Those two companies that are hot in competition is theyre not growing at the rate the market is and its been really the although Samsung isnt one of the largest players they had 350% growth — DC 229% growth NE TCs becoming more more of a bigger plans. Im very very worried actually about rim as I remember. Earlier this week on Monday they released the Blackberry people within 99 and announces. And there was nothing — – theres like it was a — Newsday because everybody was looking at Osama stuff. But even then that none of the attack the it was pretty much one news article about. These Smartphones and the new O less. You know you would expect a lot of times new — – get a lot of coverage and we talked about it here but we — People are excited about it. Now now I have not heard anybody even in the tech world be remotely excited thats beyond as it — – — in 98 under yeah I cant tell the difference. I can I just looked at if I had both of her next feature that depriving the OK this — looks a little. If youre I dont know I can tell you how many Blackberry users because they just felt like they were outdated were like I dont care that my phone doesnt have keys anymore and going to touch screen bulletin. Its and these are women with long fingernails let me tell — thats a challenge to which phones when you have long fingernails and Im not even — about — Have you ever — – — with you press on studies and iPhone that is funny right there but thats a like this. And the economy around literally that okay. All right. Also this is a really cool cool story game developer David brain and treats a USB stick PC or 25 dollar soul why should we care why does this matter. Well David — and hes his. New video game career has spanned games hes one of the you know the developers who runs — studio that has helped develop. Place games like roller coaster tycoon I think you guys know about that — – and that doubles. And I hold all right — – out if you just the name yet he hes behind that the what hes done now — hes argue mean. Hes argue that education since — into the 2000 does. — more towards. I CT education which is what they call information communications technology and — really doing in his mind. Its kind of watering down the passion for computers that were teaching a lot more about. Writing documents and were processing how to — presentations but not having people deep into more computer science like skills on the basic you know on a — – — Elementary entry level so hes design. This ridiculous computer thats. Maybe the size of two — three quarters wide it. — is loaded with a 700 megahertz arm processor weve seen how those processors due in phones — is it more than ample 120 megs of ram. Runs open GL ES 2.0 for pretty good graphics performance really you know web browsing that if this is really more — Hackers — that hackers and an education tool to get involved in computer science program as an html to — to screen and a USB port to — keyboard 25 dollars. Though. I mean this is incredible in ridiculous thing that ridiculous would be actually the word that hes I would say amazing. This is ster than the computer I had. Ten years ago you really wanna have a conscious of hyperbole used. I. — – Im constantly. Earth shattering its historic but little else on the hook up. Lets get — I ever really contest will — no but I hope. This is really cool why they expected to be ready in a range of Linux distributions — Ubuntu might be the main one that it ships with or the initial that it ships with. But on the — Hot — Hes really — about this do so on — – can be available to the mass market at the moment. This is — theyre also looking to distribute this — for charitable foundations one called the raspberry — foundation will promote computer science studies and schools. Well I mean I am also I think is really cool for the remember the One Laptop Per Child project and that whole — – sort of — creating a unit for under a hundred bucks. The consultant developing countries in this guy sort of in his spare time did it. Really almost everything you need all you need is a keyboard connected to and has at least — – port so you can pick connected to almost EH DTV. — got a full on computer. It can browse the Internet they can do all sorts of things. And — as Sonys network yup. And theres that for people that ask in the chat room there is a storage. Look theres a storage slot with — theres an SD card slot on their for storage. And it looks silly you can also — other modules the image shows a twelve megapixel camera image sensor on top of the actual — the chip board. So. And almost out thats why we had to bring it via home. It would also makes you wonder what about all — cellphones because it essentially sounds like the innards of a modern Smartphone. With HDMI port I know we saw the HX four — earlier this year this day. — – — But I think the future might be a Bluetooth keyboard you bring home your Smartphone plug it into an HDTV now youve got your full on computing experience and extrapolate that to — three years out. You might go to some real desktop class — And lets lets not take this illegal way overboard this guys dont put this on your key chain in rock in a day I dont know. I know there are some people out there that are going to try to do that youre the same got — I think the nano watch is cool — – was. I dont do — today is not also lives just a heads up whats coming out next — big news. The Google I — this is the their main developer conference where they really release a lot of kind of some of the new toys — the working with and you know we — wanna do a rundown of some things that you guys can expect. Yeah — first and foremost for most people listen to the show its probably gonna be the update to Android. Now the biggest question that we have is whether theyre finally — – — – Thats three point — with the gingerbread fro — line 2.2 2.3. I dont know the word on the street is that they may still do a separate release and we may have to wait for another one thing that and keep it separate — – because it does the user paradigm is still very different from I had an Android Smartphone — – — – tablet. Some of the news coming out of the conference we hope to see is an update to the long awaited Chrome OS project that was — the Weiler. Year ago actually last years — – — And they — they were saying its gonna be out before the end of the year weve only really — the CR 48 notebook. But hopefully we may actually see some other notebooks and other manucturers like Samsung. Dont know yet and the other you know big update there were also looking for — global TV Google TV last — – found out. — pretty heavily with the logic reviewed annually — about 150000. Units. The word on the street is that they finally got their act together fix that the UI so its actually usable. But those — the three big ones and you might hear something about remembered the Google plus one. Announcement couple weeks ago. — – And anyway it really isnt how its gonna work Im not gonna work — is no — its not gonna work. This last two. On the bus plus one is when I looked on this list Ill tell you arent already and I dont wanna be mean about it but — the — Google TV theyve already burned their bridges that manuctures with the first rollout it was even from a sales standpoint. They rolled out a product that they probably promise to — ctors. A lot of things and all the content deals that were not in place were severed after that first weekend you know Viacom content lot of Internet content that was part of the heres the Google TV experience immediately chopped up now. Do I like using their search algorithms to find programming yes but its gotta be more than that. If they dont if theyre — – Google TV and they dont have any manuctures. On board scene this is what Google TV to when itll run on until you right now to get done. Well I dont know I might disagree a little bit in them as much as the other big rumor about Google T — finally usable version is a — They may add enjoyed app support somehow. It might change things. — – — things that I dont think that we year. Or you know I agree and disagree we can agree to disagree look at — I know it — we can degree should turn. A but I — you know people start at the political gamble no one has shown that — coupled — Mobile apps on — you know our Android — slashed — apps on their TVs yet lets wait a blur but through a tablet. Probably but if its through Google TV. Im gonna say now. Well lets wait for developers and even jump over honeycomb before they jump over to go to him yet but yeah Im excited to see what they have to bring in the Android ice — Because Android OS for the mobile phones and mobile devices does keep and gain better Chrome OS. They really they have to partner with more manucturers — – that people on board like you mentioned Samsung and Acer are planning to notebooks but we need to see more than that. — – I dont know I I would person what the CA. Polish up to — a honeycomb — why thats my biggest clone with the the honeycomb. You know platform right now its actually prefer. The 2.2 intece to three point — it looks really cool juvenile looks really cool but to actually use it is entirely different thing. I and thats why — sort of see a lot of manuctures come out these new tablets shockingly still running 2.2. Yeah and noble and then also what we had talked about is how many of these main ctors actually got their hands on honeycomb because Googles. You know Im not gonna say that its not useful because I think theyre really just trying to target completely different audience — and then in it was. When you say is — will compare the an iPad. For your mom. Probably not but I dont think they want those people at all. Well I mean I and — as Apple has shown that that thats opened up the market for people who never wouldve considered buying. A computer essentially on the go. And I you know the thing about Google the reason why its so popular in the first place. — that its main product is a box on the screen with two buttons. And I dont know I think that — so — that philosophy with honeycomb — like to see something more like that. You know it lets. Innovate and — to — – — two — – youll take over the market. In spades and just as Europe you feel lucky that the elderly are looked and at some of the — – guys who. Thats not good for you. Got a little Italy did a lot actually a pretty I dont Polly pocket and take the — actually — left because I kicked his ass every — – — – Its really unfortunate — you arent alone in its — is likely that it doesnt all right. Just the — Asus is transformer tablet really cool tablet talks directly — to this. Keyboard pad if you want it and also its running honeycomb is well. Theres rumors or rumblings about a shortage so you know. People decided to maybe some — – — Wii news we just ask — whats going on. I know people say Asus Asus I think theres — officially — – I think its its loose yet. This — – — what they have said — it wasnt necessarily a component shortage but the demand is so much higher than they expected. Because I think the waters had intended for other tablets at the moment they — you know the in game wasnt like — rolling out 500000 units so. They had 100000 units produce in May 200000 plus he in the streets around June and they said after that point. They should be good and but looking no — – — initial sales of around 300000 units but this is. Struck a chord with users and is pretty popular so this is good thing for tablets. Yeah no Im Im excited about it it — I think this is what the H friction event should have been and zoom with a — global — But matrix as excited as many tech people where about it not too many people adopt it. Nominee tech people are even using an honest as as a laptop dock as a phone — great phone. Also quick hit IOS four point 3.3 the untethered jailbreak is available now that means you dont — do. Attach it your computer every time if you have to restart the phone or whatnot. This supports devices like the iPhone three G 3GS iPhone — the iPod Touch Apple TV. An iPad so you guys in the jail breakers — – listening to us. I stopped overeating because Im just tired of playing the cat and mouse game buttons. For those you — have time to — to do it because there are definitely benefits that. On thats available also in our final — – Mozilla. Jeff Barr is the Department of Homeland Security does an update will — you wanna — – the story a little bit. So are a couple months ago there was that sort of big hoopla about the Department of Homeland Security in the FBI coming in and — – all these domains are retired at least piracy web sites. So some hackers and some programmers on the Internet. — come together and actually put together if Firefox add on that if you typed in the original domain and URL it would — direct you to secondary or backup. So heres — service circumvent the ct that FBIs CD seize these domain I guess. You why they dont like that now this is a quick update the Department of Homeland Security did not serve Mozilla the court order they just requested them to do it so Mozilla pushed back. And they wanted to prove that way how is their add on called mafia with two days at the end. Just occasionally tried out if its illegal or not so their site and you know it come until they actually service in — were not gonna do anything about it so I — Allah I can like acting like that thats — – — – thats been bullet in the in my case and prove it. Yet its being legal in that was the biggest issue with these in the domains is that like — is OK can — government is committed. Take cnet.com away from — even now. Just because were being sued by the media because little Lime Wire thing is that okay I mean that — this would be if — – if functional equivalent young. I think its different — by proxy like rate. I mean it doesnt pass my taste tests I. And easily — and — Okay. Were gonna gonna gonna — well Wilson giggles like — schools are not an analytic. — business with you — gonna go check out some of the cool lag gadgets that we implement. — – — Engines gadgets. In a flexible phone created boomer research from the human media lab McKinney Canadas green university — – — fully punk — Floppy. Its in your pocket. — the way you want it to fold they refer to — as a computer. As a rigid. A body — counterparts. You can make and receive calls or. It theres also — an example of it that can be used as a wrist band that. Im not gonna use it that way. I Im not gonna but it — because is that this is this is local stuff I love this. This is minority report that in real life — picking up PC through a piece of plastic — – actually type I did it updating real life. CU I guarantee within a year policy Lady Gaga wearing something like this and — – out. This is gonna revolutionize football game patent Manny and well be able to just dominate even more. Which is what treasure chest and — – I was actually in the NFL needs to take notice the thing is gonna blow off. — – it on his wrist its free its the end of all its the little — on Israel as its — it is really cool. Also in other kick — gadgets. If you like you — You like this an excellent company who doesnt like — yeah — – hands in digital jello agility Eagles like that. Gyrating — New York this is from — a company called. Movie seats they that we talked about tennis of these interactive experiences. — SD box technologies — – at a Montreal is introducing a physical motion. To the movie viewing experience. Emotions range from — its board backside aside experience momentary. Free ll. Probably not good for — Lets they — like a character leaps off a cliff sites he controls let viewers dialed down the intensity. Theyre rolling it out in the the theaters now but — find in any of the major ones. Like that MC theaters or a Regal Entertainment Group the company is — to expand it to 200 locations from — up to 1000. The — – for years. I I want it I had — a st. I I would be dot. I — – awesome — incredible. I know I I think weve talked extensively about this many — – talked about this. — like the movie industry really needs to innovate and before you always hear crap about like — no vision yet I really wanna smell the diesel. I dont mind it. I dont. But I actually might want to feel like Im in the car or like in Lord of the Rings you know theres a battle that — – that might be. And the union and you — – — – — – — But. I think actually I want to bring these to my home yet a lot of from India for videogames absolute idiot while you were in that whole body test that like you — the shots — – underneath the back a bit like these and think bodys needs and — – Of late like quality of yet shot — like the late in the lower area — there — – And your mom would be laughing in the background because depleted in her living room.

Earlier there outside my — – ready. I can — any — award due to sit out the door no problem. — – — – Is Apple okay Bryan — hes mean first of all your name — the same as mine we have something in common. If you listened and didnt get a little — – yourself I was the one that said it was a tablet. Journals like the — not a tablet Im like dude its a tablet. A case OBrien united. Where did okay just make sure just just if you play back the podcasts — music just listen. And dont get all your panties up in a bundle because I — said — as a tablet.

And hes telling us that Intels not the only one with the — processor architecture. — – — Equity mention Apples specialty chip architecture. You — opt out. The publisher of the great work. He is right this silicon on that have product — chip was three dimensional there were multiple. I like Kenneth square arrangements. — Cuba right yes definitely deftly and — the rumor is he will be back.

Is being shopped around — – — Justin — the director of t diet is on board to direct it — – We better get those movie seats in every theater by the time that comes out — islands.

You know I dont know how much how many Botox injections are gonna open — man believes Apple is — be a lot but it can keep up with. Continuity of you know his appearance. All right — the emails this one come from Danny from does points paid — – actions it has pointed at people like Dick Tracy that. — branded todays guest have you noticed that no matter how many times you go into account settings on basement and turn — email and text notifications. FaceBook randomly turned some of them back on just last week I turned off about when he notification that randomly were turned on. And now again I — randomly — upper basement deals emails and group notifications I never click to subscribe to anything and this is unacceptable. By FaceBook. I — a degree Ive. The new I have to assume well I guess what deals I just surf the web page — in subscribed — did not click subscribers look to the page adults and Im getting — – — – left and right. I happens it certainly happens and they get so planet were like I feel like. I need and email address just for FaceBook. I wanna kill my profile start all over again I want a new Digital Life. — – — – — You — the next — – you have it on your street. Yeah it says hey buzzes Im in the military and I — stationed overseas I think companies moving from — to digital is a terrible idea. Besides being deployed to areas of the world — we dont have Internet access. They still can get Amazon packages via the post office and a lot of things are reasonable restrictions like music and movies on the and it ends up costing a lot more for a lot of people — – a really good point about how going pure digital. Doesnt does it a benefit are gonna servicemen. Overseas but it just makes accessing this content a lot harder. — in our little tech bubble world like we love digital downloads we love these indiscretion but — is that I like to have the disk handy just because I. I dont wanna if you if youre on the go — and youre like oh can I update my OS oh you dont have an Internet — you dont have a disk will youre screwed but. — – — – — – — Yeah I — physical goods to and it sort of just what youre seeing distorts reality Id be very curious what would happen to — – San Francisco involves on the Internet. Turn off. Like one — somebodys actually cut — cut the fiber optic link here what mayhem but that. All they right now Twitter would go down because — – — theres still and the world would end up. — world lit and does the mess and people arent getting tweets. For some reason or another — divided by an on the latest — discount and a half. As well as a — – — okay guys you know what its Friday. And even — miss Molly isnt here we still have one special you know where you you know what I that is. — – — – — – Theres he loved the give as it is — you listen you — – but never in her. Okay here we go this is an email hasnt seen like that they like they know we give love advisable and not so were gonna take ever. Viewers and listeners — – crew trying to make a very long story short I was dumped last June 2 days before my 27 birthday two weeks before what would have been her seven year anniversary. I found out he was cheating with girls online and over the phone again. While it worked and paid to build a confronted him expecting the same — promises that changed since then I came home from work to find him packing his truck and he moved back — Texas. I — I was gonna — this guy as soon as — found as soon as he found a job we can afford it then — gun after a lot of tears which I still find while I type this Im better. Im trying to start over I dad my hair new — – lost almost fifty — the joint — keep — about three months ago. — – — a couple of nice guys obviously had coffee with — and Im really into these 28 a programmer. Makes me laugh we have a tiny comet and he even owns his own home thats — thats a mandated. The problem having with someone — Prominent having is how do I tell about my — – the ct that I was with someone for seven years I dont wanna make a big deal but I need is still slow because of what happened before and like it or not. My acts as part of major part of my past. Attract a broad subject knowledge refer to — act as a friend when I tell stories and involve them which I try not to do but we really did everything together. So its a bombshell and I know not to drop it on the first date but the longer I wait right — – got more feels like a bigger bomb. I like to bring it — – conversation but second — – — Think those who have had a hell of a year including getting. — last Friday but youve always been able to make me smile I just keep — you guys keep make me feeling a little less alone in this day. And the anyway yeah I have. I — – your advice. A bullet my advice yeah I — – there is is — Dont — not. As as a man in in its a religious. Previous relationship several backtracked — certain bacteria carried final ever Lauren was. Now dont its never good never bring up an — and when you referred to a situation that you you were in with — acts. Column your friend thats it thats the best way to go about it has no matter what happens. Someones gonna get jealous umi at oh you didnt take me out to the ballpark you didnt get me flowers in this game you think we can do this together and thats whats gonna happen. Why we we have — – ally with anyone before I click my friend. Okay thats not how — – here heres my take actually its actually a little different because. No guy wants to hear about the dudes here the current earlier with your hooking up with — – got ray — and how well — ever but its. Heres the thing. If he. Ask questions about it and hes willing to deal with that I think its okay to tell because to me when you cant like when you really cant talk about an — It to — it indicates youre still hurt and youre still trying to get over things like when you like I can talk about the alliances because Im way past it but when I could it. It was because I still kind of had an attachment to them — – ready so. I really feel that something that you might have to work through and — seven years thats a major party like ignite an emeritus — – big deal. But really dont serve up that information he doesnt ask where you know — high. Wants to hear no — dont hear it and it sounds like as a first date. Or in the first I guess couple of weeks of — does — Making it — it will your voice is very sage once youve been dating for a couple months. Slide first couple no guy wants to hear about your ex on the first night of conversation. Even have you ever you know your your married man — years youve been youve been through the ups and downs. Oh what youre — have you ever been in a situation where some enlightenment — – — you know have youve gone you that. I I dont know why shes compelled — I dont know why — – I think to keep it yourself it becomes maybe like — – then you know maybe like preannouncement. Youre just gonna like tell that show the got — you have all the baggage yen and one thing that we dont like. Is — I let me tell you right now know that the reports seriously and go back to us that the country Al Franken I dont want it. Okay guys — thats gonna deal for this we show. Think its a much wheels were coming out there and now yet at a time Ill be able to laugh and deliver news at the same time. Is it possible. Stressed who has yet but I do wanna talk about people that dont know — from about. — so if you havent listened. I host — show with Jeff Bakalar and just — Other editors at CNET New York. A — – for — mostly sort of a very different take. From actually — well its more about tech and culture so — really later pop culture weird stuff that you have on the Internet. Is that — we just try to have a good time. — its a fun show lets not lets lets cut. Lets not candy color — – on that show. And — to have mr. Brian Tong back in the show I — we broke the show notes on climate. If you think we got the rails here you know you wanna listen that — I I would not advise my moment to even to developers. I. It — it gets that bad but — – excellent so — so were gonna get some get a didnt. Makes — in the audio feed our guys lets get a deal makes sure to send us if you guys wanna check out. Our show notes on — – that we covered here below that cnet.com also you can call us at 800. 6162638. You voicemails around thirty to 45 seconds and we love you guys are actually doing really good — about that lately via Ill also said she knows the buzz at cnet.com we will read your emails talk about what you really think about what you like and also we keep on — connected computer loves so.

COLLEGE BASEBALL: Choosing Vandy proved a dandy decision for Amity grad Jason Esposito/Kansas City

It was a slow roller up the third base line and Jason Esposito, playing in just his fourth collegiate game for Vanderbilt and taking over the spot previously owned by the No. 2 pick in the 2008 major league draft, charged it a bit too quickly.

COLLEGE BASEBALL: Choosing Vandy proved a dandy decision for Amity grad Jason Esposito/Kansas City,Esposito fielded the ball and, rather than stop, plant his feet and throw to first, rushed things a bit and made a wild throw. The ball sailed wide of the first baseman, allowing Cal’s Brett Jackson to score from second for the winning run in the Bears’ come-from-behind, 4-3 win over Vandy.

Don’t worry about it, Corbin told him. The next time that happens, you’ll be able to make that play.

Since that error on Feb. 23, 2009, Esposito, now a junior, has emerged as one of the top college players in the land.

Esposito, a Bethany native and 2008 Amity High graduate, had a 27-game hit streak come to an end on Tuesday at Louisville but is still hitting a cool .343 with five home runs and 44 RBIs for the No. 2-ranked Commodores.

This on the heels of a sterling sophomore campaign, in which he hit .359 with 12 homers and a team-high 64 RBIs while leading the Southeastern Conference with 25 doubles.

What he’s learned to do here is hit the breaking ball, keep his bat in the zone, said Corbin. Because of that, he gets a lot of backspin on the ball. He’s one of those guys who is a gap-type hitter with home run ability.

But it’s Esposito’s defensive prowess at the hot corner that truly sets him apart and has elevated him to a potential first-round pick in next month’s 2011 MLB draft. Continued…

He’s very athletic, and he has an innate ability to slow the game down, said Corbin. It doesn’t matter how hard the ball’s hit, he’s got very soft hands, he catches the ball easily and he has a very accurate, strong arm. I think his personality comes through a lot in his defense: his range, how quick his feet are. He’s a very gifted defender.

While MLB mock drafts are even more unpredictable than those of the NFL or NBA, the general consensus seems to be that Esposito could be selected somewhere between the late-first and early-second rounds, possibly in the sandwich round between the two.

As of last week, the prospectjunkies.com website had him going to the San Francisco Giants with the 29th overall pick.

Several other sites have him going to the Red Sox, who own four picks between No.’s 19 and 40 and have certainly shown interest in Esposito.

Last week, they conducted a psychological exam of Esposito over Skype — something the organization does for all of its potential draftees.

Whatever hat my son puts on his head, I’ll be all right with, his dad, Michael, says with a smile.

His only concern — especially now that exams are over — is helping the Commodores earn their first-ever trip to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

That’s something that’s been on our minds as a junior class, he said. That foregoes what we’re thinking about until the end of the season. At this point, nothing really matters, as r as the draft goes. Continued…

Esposito’s advisor is Scott Boras, the super-agent whose list of clients includes Prince Fielder, Stephen Strasburg and last year’s No. 1 pick, Bryce Harper.

Assuming he’s taken somewhere in the late first or early second round, Esposito should command at least a $1 million signing bonus.

If, for whatever reason, Esposito decides to bypass a whole bunch of money and play another year of college ball, he could do that, as well.

In June, 2008, as his tremendous high school career that saw him earn Register Most Valuable Player and the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year honors was drawing to a close, Esposito was selected in the seventh round of the MLB draft by the Kansas City Royals.

That he was selected at all was a bit of a surprise, since Esposito had made it known to teams that he intended on going to school.

That the Royals wound up offering him a signing bonus of $1.5 million — first-round money — was even more of a shock. Continued…

Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore showed late interest in Esposito (Washington was offering about $900,000) and flew in the day of the draft to offer Esposito at his Bethany home.

He was going to take it, Michael Esposito said. But the more he sat on it,Baseball hats two or three days later, he was kind of quiet. He said, &lsKansas City Royals hatsquo;I don’t want to sign, I want to go to school. I’m too young to make this a job.’

Indeed, Esposito was still just 17. He wanted a college education, and didn’t want to have to go back to school as a 24, 25-year-old freshman if things didn’t work out in baseball.

It wasn’t tough to pass up the money, he insisted. I had never really had money like that, so I didn’t know what I’d be missing if I didn’t have it. I just wanted an education, wanted to play for Coach Corbin, play at Vanderbilt, get my degree and have a llback plan as r as school went. I was too young. I felt like I wanted to mature myself a little more.

It had taken another home visit to convince Esposito that Vanderbilt was the place for him. He had been widely recruited — North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida, who wanted him to be their shortstop — and, while Vanderbilt was building a tremendous reputation with stars like David Price and Pedro Alvarez, Esposito had some misgivings.

I think the academics, the workload in the classroom was more intimidating to him than anything, Corbin recalled. I think he feared he’d spend so much time academically getting through school,atlanta braves hats it would affect him on the baseball field. I told him that was a fear of some kids we had recruited in the past, but it became a non-ctor once they got here and they got into a routine.

Corbin and his wife, Maggie, visited Esposito’s home to further push home the notion that Vanderbilt offers a nurturing, mily-type atmosphere to its players.

Esposito has kept his grade-point average around 3.0 while majoring in organizational management. He’s also matured greatly, to the point where his demeanor is one of his greatest strengths.

Ask him about his recent 27-game hit streak, the upcoming draft, virtually anything to do with his own statistics or success and he brushes it off, seemingly oblivious to it all.

Ever since he was young, the awards, the attention, he never cared about that, Michael Esposito said. If somebody got an award maybe he thought he’d get, he’d just say congratulations to the kid. He just wants to go out and play baseball. I think that’s why he’s where he is right now.

It’s become a cliché, but it’s true, and it’s a trait Esposito boasts in spades. He exhibited it early, feeling no pressure taking over third base from Alvarez, who had been the second pick in the draft the prior spring and is now the Pittsburgh Pirates’ starting third baseman.

The only pressure I felt was on myself, to do a good job defensively, he said. What they preach here is good defense. Offensively, I don’t think anybody can compare with Pedro. I was just trying to contribute to the team any way I can.

In ct, Esposito started this season at shortstop, where Vandy had a hole due to the graduation of all-SEC performer Brian Harris. Esposito played well, but eventually, Corbin just felt more comfortable with him at third and switched him back.

Apparently some major league teams (including the Red Sox) have inquired if he’d consider switching over to second. Corbin feels he could handle any position on the field, but believes he should stay at third.

Of all the kids I’ve seen play third — my time at Clemson, coaching the USA team twice — I haven’t seen many kids like him, he said. To move him to second, maybe offensively, if that’s what you’re looking for so you can get a bigger, power guy on the corner, possibly …

But Corbin doesn’t believe you’ll find a better defensive third baseman than Jason Esposito — or one who has worked harder on his game.

A few games ago, Esposito fielded a slow roller up the third base line. He stopped, planted his feet and gunned down the runner at first base with ease. It reminded him of a certain play from his fourth game as a collegian three years ago.

Corb, Esposito said to his coach, remember when that happened out in California? That doesn’t happen as much now.

Goal: As M.L.S. Grows, Concern for Charter Clubs

Mike Stobe/Getty Images For New York Red BuThe Red Bulls before a game last month at Red Bull Arena, where through four home dates, the team is drawing an average of 17,398.

Major League Soccer is bodysurfing a wave of optimism.

Real Salt Lake’s run to the finals of the Concacaf Champions League brought the league a bit of attention around the world, as have the recent signings of a number of players from South and Central America.

This summer will bring another invasion of some of

the top clubs in the world, including Manchester United and Barcelona, the likely European Champions League finalists, who are expected to play before large crowds at N.F.L. stadiums.


Steve Dykes/Getty Images The Portland Timbers, in their first season in Major League Soccer, are playing to capacity crowds. But attendance is lagging in some of the league’s older, important markets, like New England and D.C.

The Red Bulls, with a strong and entertaining team led by Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez, are still dealing with the residue of fallow years in Giants Stadium, where fans rattled around in a Wholesale cheap New Era 59Fifty hats huge arena where even a crowd of 30,000 looked meager. In the club’s first season in its jewel of a new building, Red Bull Arena, attendance increased by nearly 48 percent from 12,491 in 2009 to 18,441. Through four home dates this season, the Red Bulls are attracting 17,398 a game, according to the league.

In their previous incarnation as the MetroStars, the club and M.L.S. logged its highest average attendance in its inaugural season, 1996, with 17,406 a game. That number dropped to a low of Wholesale cheap snapback hats 13,756 in 2000, and has grown to 16,675 in 2010 and nearly 70 percent of capacity (an increase of 4 percent from 2009), a number that is loosely comparable to average regular-season per-game attendance in the N.H.L. and the N.B.A.

In M.L.S., however, the drag on attendance has come from some of the charter clubs, most notably the New England Revolution, the Columbus Crew, F.C. Dallas and the Colorado Rapids, the defending league champions; and to a lesser degree Chivas USA, which shares the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., with the Galaxy.

And in the Pacific Northwest, the three teams Wholesale cheap ED Hardy Snapback caps have little competition from other professional sports. Dallas, which built a soccer stadium in suburban Frisco, Tex., and the Rapids, whose stadium is in Commerce City outside Denver, have found it difficult to attract core soccer fans in markets saturated with professional, college and high school sports.

“I don’t think it makes sense to overemphasize attendance Wholesale Cheap Monster Energy caps on a day-in, day-out basis,” Abbott said. “It’s important, but trends take place over longer periods of time and we can’t really worry about numbers from one week to next, especially this early in the season.”

Twins 1, White Sox 0: Twins’ Liriano Throws No-Hitter Against White Sox

So much for those old stats. Now, he’s Mr. No-Hitter. Chicago White Sox. Twins ace Bert Blyleven, who’s headed to the Hall of Fame.

Liriano dodged six walks and struck out only two. Of his 123 pitches, just 66 were strikes.

The final out came on perhaps Chicago’s hardest-hit ball cheap snapback hats wholesale of the evening, with shortstop Matt Tolbert taking two quick steps to snare Adam Dunn’s line drive.

After lasting just three innings in his previous start against Tampa Bay, Liriano excelled on a cold night at U.S. Cellular Field. The Twins ended a six-game losing streak in a matchup of shaky teams.

“He was using all of his pitches. It was such a nice thing Wholesale cheap new era caps to see him smile like that,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “We’ve said that Liriano has electric stuff, no-hitter stuff. And, he did it tonight.”

This year, the Twins have told Liriano to forget the strikeouts, try to pitch to contact, let the defense do the work.

And on Liriano’s final pitch, Dunn hit a liner that appeared headed to left field. But Tolbert moved to his right, made the catch, spun around and raised the ball in triumph with his bare hand.

Tolbert sprinted to the mound, where the pitcher was being nfl jerseys from china mobbed by teammates, to personally deliver the prize.

Liriano survived a rocky ninth inning that began when Brent Morel grounded to shortstop, with Tolbert making a one-hop throw that first baseman Justin Morneau neatly scooped. Juan Pierre walked and Alexei Ramirez popped to shortstop.

Dunn dropped to 0 for 16 against left-handers this season.

For Tolbert it was the end of an unforgettable experience. He got the start at shortstop as the Twins moved Alexi Casilla to second base.

Liriano was backed by Jason Kubel’s fourth-inning homer. He won in a game that took just 2 hours, 9 minutes.

Minnesota turned its third double play in the eighth, when Morneau took an offline throw from Casilla and umpire Paul Emmel called Gordon Beckham out — replays appeared to show Morneau missed the tag.

Edwin Jackson (2-4) lost his fourth straight start cheap baseball caps new era despite allowing six hits in eight innings. Then with Arizona, Jackson no-hit Tampa Bay last June 26 despite walking eight. Angels on Sept. 11, 1999. It was the first no-hitter in the major leagues since Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay’s against Cincinnati in last year’s NL playoffs.

Liriano was acquired in 2003 from San Francisco in the cheap nfl jerseys famously lopsided trade that also brought Joe Nathan to Minnesota for A.J. Pierzynski.

His road back has been a long and difficult one. He missed all of 2007, then struggled to regain his form over the next two years, leading some to wonder if he ever would make it all the way back after going cheap hats wholesale 5-13 with a 5.80 ERA in 2009. Jim Thome was put on the 15-day DL with a left oblique strain, and Minnesota will recall INF Trevor Plouffe from Triple-A Rochester. … The White Sox have lost 16 of 20 to fall into last place in the AL Central below the Twins.

Under a Microscope, Jeter Has a Powerless Start

He tapped meekly back to the pitcher, ending the rally. In that, it wasn’t all that much different from many of the 99 at-bats that preceded it. Jeter, five weeks into what is shaping up to be the most closely scrutinized of his 17 seasons with the Yankees, is hitting .250 — some 60 points off his career average, and 20 points lower than his disturbingly unimpressive average of last season. He had no home runs and only two extra-base hits of any kind, both doubles. The only offensive category in cheap baseball hats new era which he leads the major leagues is infield hits — and, well, it isn’t his speed that accounts for that.

Aware that Jeter’s every at-bat was being dissected and debated, Joe Girardi, the manager of the Yankees, in early April asked for calm and fairness: Give Jeter 100 or 150 at-bats, Girardi said, before even blank new era snapback caps wholesale thinking about drawing any conclusions.

Turnarounds happen, too, making early-season worry seem rash and even foolish. Just last year, David Ortiz, Boston’s slugging designated hitter, was hitting .143 with one home run through April. He hit .cheap mlb jerseys 363 with 10 homers in May and finished with 32.

The explosion in the collection and archiving of baseball statistics permits an even more varied appreciation of Jeter’s lack of impact. He has the highest ground-ball percentage (81.3) of any player in baseball, according to Stats LLC — an achievement that suggests an inability to regularly hit the ball with real authority. Only 4 of the 26 hits he has collected were classified as line drives by Baseball-Reference.com.

After Tuesday’s game, in which he went 1 for 4, Jeter cheap nhl jerseys did not play down his problems in the first weeks of the season, but he said he saw signs of improvement.

Jeter has begun backing away from the adjustments he incorporated over the winter with Long, who had urged him to simplify his mechanics at the plate by eliminating his stride, a change that, in theory, would give Jeter a sliver of extra time to adjust to any pitch. Paul O’Neill, a former teammate of Jeter’s and an analyst for the YES network, said by telephone Tuesday. “You inch back to your comfort level, and that’s probably a good thing.”

Of course, Jeter’s pursuit of hits has a larger context, one that makes his struggles so far all that much more awkward: he is 48 hits shy of 3,000 for his career. When he makes it to 3,000 — most people project he could do it by the end of June — he will be the first player to do so entirely in a Yankees uniform. Tigers’ third-base coach, said he grew Jerseys from china worried because he hated seeing Jeter bat in close games. Derek Jeter’s not driving the ball, and he hasn’t done that against us, but every time he comes up, we fear him,” said Lamont, who is in his 47th season of professional baseball. “I don’t want to see Derek Jeter in a big situation.”

Fast runners like Jose Reyes of the Mets, who had nine infield hits, and Michael Bourn of Houston and Juan Pierre of the White Sox, who had eight, often try to pound balls to the left side of the infield to cheap hats wholesale maximize their speed. Jeter has never been a fly-ball hitter, but he used to rip line drives, particularly to right-center field.

“If it goes on for three or four months, yeah, that would be alarming,” said Girardi, who added: “Maybe he won’t put up 40 doubles, who knows? I can’t tell you. But the bottom line is we want him getting on base, and he’s been getting his hits.”

But Palmieri, who played for the New Jersey Devils, started the comeback and also scored the winner after Jack Skille tied it at 2.

The Slovak Interior Ministry said security had been Wholesale cheap snapback caps stepped up around the U.S. embassy in Bratislava and the American team in Kosice following the death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.

“Every game for us is emotional,” U.S. captain Wholesale cheap new era fitted caps Mark Stuart said. “Playing for our country every game is big and emotional. Nothing’s changed for us. Our emotion level is pretty high to start with.”

Craig Smith finished the scoring with a power-play goal to put away the Norwegians, who stunned Sweden in their first game.

“We didn’t come out for the start we wanted to,” Stuart said. “But we came back and played pretty well in the second half of the game.”

In Group D in Bratislava, defending champion Wholesale cheap new era snapback hats Czech Republic also advanced by cruising past Denmark 6-0 while Finland edged Latvia 3-2 after a penalty shootout to make the next round.

Mavericks 96, Lakers 94: Lakers Unravel Late and Mavericks Seize an Opportunity

Pau Gasol noticed the matchup and tried to get the ball to Bryant, the Lakers’ closer who had rained jumpers on the Mavericks for much of the game en route to a game-high 36 points. But with the Lakers trailing blank new era snapback hats wholesale by a point, at 95-94 with less than 20 seconds remaining, Kidd physically disrupted Bryant, who fell to the ground.

Bryant missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer, sealing Dallas’ 96-94 victory and a transfer of home-court advantage between the Lakers and Mavericks, long-time rivals, but seldom playoff opponents. It was also the climax of a number of Laker errors in the closing minutes of the game.

It was the Mavericks first playoff victory in Loscheap nba jerseys Angeles. Meanwhile, the two-time defending champion Lakers have opened a second straight playoff series in a 1-0 deficit. Game 2 is Wednesday night at Staples Center. Phil Jackson said.

94-93 lead with under a minute to play, Bryant drove cheap new era hats Wholesale through the lane and with nowhere to go, threw the ball away to Jason Terry. Gasol fouled Dirk Nowitzki on he possession and Nowitzki converted by free throws to put Dallas up, 95-94.

With concern lingering over his sprained left ankle, Bryant scored 15 points cheap snapback caps wholesale in the third quarter. The crowd cheered, but Jackson said the Lakers lost the game in that stretch.

Dallas was the team that appeared out of sorts earlier. As the Lakers raced up court for a desperation heave before the first-half buzzer sounded, Terry fouled Lamar Odom as he put up a shot from half court with 0.7 of a second left. Odom sank all three free throws and on the last, Nowitzki and Ron Artest became tangled beneath the basket. nhl jerseys from china With his back facing Artest, Nowitzki freed himself by throwing an elbow and received a technical.

Despite vying for Western supremacy for much of the past decade, the Lakers and Mavericks have not met in the playoffs in 23 years. Still, Jackson and Dallas owner Mark Cuban, two of the game’s most unfiltered voices, have enjoyed trading verbal jabs through the years.

“It’s only fun to pick on somebody if they can fight back,” cheap hats wholesale Cuban said before the game.

“I’m not going there yet,” Jackson said. “I’ve got to go there Thursday, right?”
