How To watch the Olympics on your mobile phone
Mobile Video:
NBC Olympics Mobile Video will provide highlights, daily news, and exclusive feature videos on-demand to mobile video users. Mobile video is available on the NBC Olympics Mobile Web site and on-deck with select mobile providers.
Mobile TV:
NBC also provides a mobile TV services called NBC Olympics 2Go, a 24/7 mobile TV channel featuring the best of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Bell Subscribers:
Bell and CBC/Radio-Canada have an agreement to distribute Olympic coverage to Bell phones so you can access them live and on the go. Through Bell, you¡¯ll have access to 11 video highlight packages and SMS alerts, as well as Bell Olympic Moments and 16 Days in Beijing with Steve Omischl will be available each day during the Games for a one-time fee of $8.
Mobile-TV Equipped TD-SCDMA Handsets:
Does anybody know what the hell the above technology is? It would take years of Wiki searching just to start to understand that acronym. In any case, if you¡¯re an expat living in China, and use China Mobile, you likely have access to these devices and thus will have no problem watching the Olympics on your mobile. On the other hand, if you¡¯re an expat living in China, why aren¡¯t you at the freaking games?
Use watch mobile phone instead of your watch and mobile phone.
Safety level of lithium-ion systems
There are two basic types of lithium-ion chemistries: cobalt and manganese (spinel). To achieve maximum runtime, cell phones, digital cameras and laptops use cobalt-based lithium-ion. Manganese is the newer of the two chemistries and offers superior thermal stability. It can sustain temperatures of up to 250¡ãC (482¡ãF) before becoming unstable. In addition, manganese has a very low internal resistance and can deliver high current on demand. Increasingly, these batteries are used for power tools and medical devices. Hybrid and electric vehicles will be next.
The drawback of spinel is lower energy density. Typically, a cell made of a pure manganese cathode provides only about half the capacity of cobalt. Cell phone and laptop users would not be happy if their batteries quit halfway through the expected runtime. To find a workable compromise between high energy density, operational safety and good current delivery, manufacturers of lithium-ion 346970-001 batteries can mix the metals. Typical cathode materials are cobalt, nickel, manganese and iron phosphate.
Let me assure the reader that lithium-ion batteries are safe and heat related failures are rare. The nx9600 battery manufacturers achieve this high reliability by adding three layers of protection. They are: [1] limiting the amount of active material to achieve a workable equilibrium of energy density and safety; [2] inclusion of various safety mechanisms within the cell; and [3] the addition of an electronic protection circuit in the battery pack.
These protection devices work in the following ways: The PTC device built into the cell acts as a protection to inhibit high current surges; the circuit interrupt device (CID) opens the electrical path if an excessively high charge voltage raises the internal cell pressure to 10 Bar (150 psi); and the safety vent allows a controlled release of gas in the event of a rapid increase in cell pressure. In addition to the mechanical safeguards, the electronic protection circuit external to the cells opens a solid-state switch if the charge voltage of any cell reaches 4.30V. A fuse cuts the current flow if the skin temperature of the cell approaches 90¡ãC (194¡ãF). To prevent the presario r3000 battery from over-discharging, the control circuit cuts off the current path at about 2.50V/cell. In some applications, the higher inherent safety of the spinel system permits the exclusion of the electric circuit. In such a case, the battery relies wholly on the protection devices that are built into the cell.
We need to keep in mind that these safety precautions are only effective if the mode of operation comes from the outside, such as with an electrical short or a faulty charger. Under normal circumstances, a lithium-ion pavilion zv5000 battery will simply power down when a short circuit occurs. If, however, a defect is inherent to the electrochemical cell, such as in contamination caused by microscopic metal particles, this anomaly will go undetected. Nor can the safety circuit stop the disintegration once the cell is in thermal runaway mode. Nothing can stop it once triggered.
laptop battery rebuild
Admit it. Come out of denial. You know your laptop that was supercool 2 years ago now gets 15 minutes of VGP-BPS2A battery life. It sucks and we all share the same problem eventually. Laptop batteries (and many others) will start to lose their total charging capacity after awhile. It's slow so we usually don't notice it until years later. But when it happens, you can't help but go insane. Laptop batteries usually cost a fortune (my 12-inch powerbook VGP-BPS2B battery is like $130). This is why you should take the road less traveled and rebuild your battery.
So what do you have to do? Well it's not too complicated, you just have to basically replace the individual cells inside of the latitude d620 battery casing. Ever have an R/C car and you had to buy those $20 battery packs at Radio Shack for them? Well if you take a close look, it's usually just 6 batteries saran-wrapped together with a proprietary plug. Same goes for these laptop batteries.
Now before we go any further, let me issue a warning. Although most of us think we're invincible, we're not. This is something that could lead to harm if you don't follow everything directly. If you're new to hacking apart electronics and what not, don't proceed. Have a specialist help you. We're not responsible for anything that may happen, mkay? Kay.
Allright so let's get started. Take your fork out of the electrical socket for a moment and check it.
Remove your vgp-bps2c battery from your laptop. Try to get it drained all the way if you can. Look at the label on your battery. Somewhere near the warning where it says 'Don't do this, don't do that'blah blah blah' you should see a model number for the battery pack. Probably something along the lines of 'Lithium Ion Battery Pack No.' Pry off the cover of your vgp-bpl5a battery pack like so.
....which will reveal something like below.
Individual cells.
If you have a powerbook like me, it'll look like this:
So. Now we've got a bunch of cells. Cute. Find the part number for them. As you can see in the pic above the powerbook pavilion dv9000 battery, the number is printed directly on the wrapping. In this case it's CGP345010. Ok great. What's that mean? Google it and see. Ahhh! It's made by Panasonic. Wonderful. Now we have to go get replacements. If there's 6 cells, you'll obviously need 6 new ones. Try this website for ordering them.
Get out your xacto knife, wire cutters, etc. for this. You'll need to carefully remove all the cells. Each battery pack is different so we can't say how it'll work out for you. Just be careful and don't throw away the old ones.
Take out all the l contacts etc. until you have yourself a blank thinkpad t42 battery tray.
Chances are your battery cells will come with wires on there for connecting it to something. No. We don't want these. We need this to lay in the tray! Remove your black and red wires but keep any others left. It's usually to keep them from short-circuiting. Next, take any coating and tops off your old batteries and move them carefully onto the new ones. After you're done, you should have naked old batteries, and new thinkpad x61 battery that look like the old ones.
Next, you need to get contact going. Obviously using l. You can either solder them together properly with a l strip on the front, or just try positioning the l correctly inside the case with the cells. I did the 2nd method and it worked for me after some tinkering around.
Almost there. Put everything back together like it was and make sure you check out your finished product with a multimeter to make sure there's a current. If all is well, throw it all back together and then into your laptop. Charge it up completely without using it and voila. You my friend, are set.
Much thanks to electronics lab, and reader [surfer] for the tips and pics! In my opinion, the PowerBook laptop battery is much easier, but don't let that stop you! Just take care!
Figures from ICM not from Tamiya
I've just been updating the Tamiya News Story about their future releases and one interesting little snippet has come to light: The new (or re-pops in many cases) will be including figures from ICM not from Tamiya...Curious little fact what are we to make of this?
Oh, the French Infantry DO seem to be Tamiya...
Yeah, I noticed that was mentioned on the Tamiya America site.
Interesting that the Mechanics and Field Police figures with the Kubel and Marder limited releases are from ICM.
Hopefully it's just a cooperative move with ICM a'la their association with Italeri.
I'd hate to see a capitulation by Tamiya to the other figure makers.
BTW, is that a Citroen Traction 11CV Staff Car I see in one of the photos?
Yes. It is the 1/48 Citroen with ICM figs as well. It too is noted on the Tamiya America site.
I would suppose that to use anothers (ICM) product can inject some immediacy into what is in effect a slow year for Tamiya 1/35th releases, 1/48 is plodding along nicely!
ICM have some fine figure sets and I would hope that Tamiya would only release the best of the ICM offerings, unlike Italeri with some of their Figure Sets (those old Heller sets - old they may be, but even then they were pretty bad).
A collaberative move which will form a small resurgence in Tamiya's visibility in the marketplace, and certainly more cost effective with not having the initial research and tooling costs.
We shall see if Tamiya change weapons, add etch, decals or other titbits or just re-box them.
Just when I sound off Tamiya set up those new releases.
The JS2 should be really nice.
The CharB1 German Army - I don't know, how different is it from the original kit (other than the decals)?
On the face of it though, it seems an awfully cheeky move to re-do the same kit with different decals.
You have to believe that Tamiya's been taking a huge shot lately with all the fabulous releases from DML, Trumpeter, Tristar, etc...I mean, I know their 1/48 market is probably making up for some of it, but I think that this is just a cooperative venture to spiff-up their new releases because they just don't have anything right now that's really burning up the sales charts--and lets face it--Me and a lot of other guys are about as likely to buy that diminutive French tractor as I am the next Britney Spears record!!
The Char B1 bis or Beutepanzer Pz.Kpfw. B-2 740(f) in their nominclature, was modified by the Germans to suit their needs.
The cupola was replaced or modified with one with top hatches, some additional armour was added to protect the turret ring.
Some vehicles were fitted out as Flammpanzers or converted to 105mm SP's.
The new kit shouldn't be much different from the original issue, hopefully Tamiya will give us the Flammpanzer option.
Seems a bit unfair to me to welcome numerous issues of similar German halftracks from one company, then criticise another for doing a second version of a rarely modelled vehicle - but then what do I know? I do know that there was a company of these Char B1 bis @ Arnhem - they were shot up in quick time by AB 6 pdrs. The photos I've seen all have the hull gun replaced by a flamethrower as John has mentioned, so I might be out for one. Come to think of it, Viktor Grabner (CO of 9th SS Recce battalion) was rumoured to have been driving a captured Humber scout car at the time of his death on Arnhem bridge, so I might be after the Bronco one.
So Tamiya are using other peoples figures in their sets, who really cares? Most people don't think of Tamiya as a major player in 1/35th any more, lets face it most modellers will be anticipating the next Dragon Gen 2 issue. Got to give credit for the French soldiers though - Tamiya do spring the occasional surprise. I suspect that there may be a tie-up with a French company to get Tamiya stuff into the EU through a "back door" to avoid import duties, this would explain the sudden interest in French subjects.
Karl, what you have to remember is that 1/35 scale models make up a very small percentage of Tamiya's sales. The RC market is where they make most of their $$$.
I think that from a marketing perspective it is probably a win-win for Tamiya and ICM. It broadens the market for both companies for very small cost. ICM is of course much smaller, much less well known and less widely distributed, so this gives them a new outlet for their product. For Tamiya it allows them to go back to something they used to do so well - diorama's in a box - and do it quickly and at minimal cost.
My first diorama as a teenager was a Tamiya FLAK 36/37 because the gun looked cool and the kit came with the limber, the crew, extra ammo and cases, etc. The entire diorama was parts from that kit and a base I made from scratch and it got me hooked. Ever since I have always had a soft-spot for kits that could make a diorama right out of the box. The new Miniart Russian 57mm anti-tank gun is a great recent example of what I am talking about.
What's up with Tamiya? DML Cranks kits out like crazy with tons of extras and insane detailing. Tamiya released what two kits so far? DML releases that many a month, almost every freaking month. AFV Club's modern stuff is crazy awesome as well and much better than Tamiya's stuff. I remember just a short time ago when I started modeling Tamiya was on top how far they have fallen since then. But uh 1/48 is pretty cool ya know build the same things again only slightly smaller
I'm looking forward to the JS2. I'll always have a spot for Tamiya on my bench, if it wasn't for them I probably would of never started modelling.
Hi kiddies,
Not to knock on Tamiya too much, they never seemed to get their 1/35th figures just right. It always seemed to me that except for some 1/16th scale figs, I was always dissapointed by them. Some of the figures I might use with different heads, hands,feet and equipment. But that is all that I can do with them.
So that is my tale of attempting to use Tamiya figs.
Threads appear almost every week, referring to Tamiya in the "Past Tense". Remember how good they used to be. Remember when they turned the market upside down with inovative, accurate, nice to build kits. Remember Tamiya is concentrating on 1/48 scale. Remember when they used to make nice molds that were state of the art.
I think Tamiya needs to remember who buys their kits. I think they also need to remember why a lot of those old loyal customers would rather buy Dragons kits now. Value for the money. Are they just giving up and turning the market over to newer companies because they forgot how to compete? I am puzzled at their decision making process.
Karl, check out my post six back from your's.
As for the first part of your post, well to me at least Tamiya is still turning out good, accurate, nice to build kits. Have you bought any of their latest releases? The subject areas may not be your cup of tea but the kits themselves are still good, ie. the Char B1 bis, the UE, and the Hetzer, just to name a few. No, they might not give you all the "stuff" Dragon does but they are a joy to build and look great even OOTB.
Another thing to remember is Tamiya has never been what you might call prolific in releasing 1/35 military kits. Even several years back when they were still considered the king of the hill by many, they didn't release more than two or three 1/35 kits a year, if that. They are also releasing kits in their 1/48 and 1/32 aircraft range, their model ship line (sorry don't know the scale(s), their 1/16 line and finally their 1/24 (not sure if I have the scale correct) cars and motorcycle line. That's not to mention their big money maker the RC stuff, as I said in my earlier post. Now I would daresay if you added all of the releases up it would equal or surpass Dragons output, but of course us armor modelers forget about all that other stuff, and we get PO'd that Mr. Tamiya isn't making what we want. I for one am just glad to be able to be around right now, as many people have said before me, we are living in a good time to be an armor modeler. I don't care who makes it as long as I'm interested in it. Sorry to be so long winded but it just seems that people get wound up anytime this subject appears.
