1.No Multitasking This is DISSAPOINTING. This was meant to compete against netbooks but without multitasking? Not even close. You cannot even download music from iTunes while browsing the web or using an IM app while listening to your music. Sorry, I will wait for iPad 2.0
2. No Camera No words can describe or explain the lack of a “tiny” camera on this thing. Perhaps it is related to the multitasking issue? or it is because of the huge load to the new Arm processor? We will never know for sure
3. No Flash No Hulu? What about those millions of websites with full flash elements? I’m pretty sure Apple was thinking on all of us – users – when decided to let this one out…yeah right!
Temporary residents seeking work permits or an extension of their visit in Canada can now apply online, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.
“Extending our online services to more temporary residents will significantly facilitate the application process by providing faster, more accessible and efficient services,” said Minister Kenney.
Forms submitted by mail often need to be returned because they are incomplete, adding additional time to the process. Applications online can only be submitted if they are complete, thereby contributing to faster processing. The service is open to all temporary residents except for co-op program work permit applicants.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) intends to make all types of applications available online in the future.
CIC first began offering online applications in June 2008, international students studying in Canada being the first to have access. Since then, international students have submitted close to 33,000 online applications. International students at over 200 participating educational institutions have been able to apply online for an off-campus work permit, confirm their eligibility online and renew their study permit while in Canada. They can also use our online services to apply for or extend the status of their dependent family members currently living in Canada.
Furthermore, applicants who gain skilled work experience in Canada may be eligible to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class.
Videogamer.com has posted an extensive PES 2010 review. Even though it is a better game than its predecessor, it is evident that EA has won the battle with FIFA 10.
PES 2010 is a better game than PES 2009, but not significantly so. PES 2010 is an enjoyable, satisfying football video game, but FIFA 10 is the best football video game ever made
Playing and reviewing FIFA 10 a few weeks before PES 2010 does the latter game no favours. In comparison, PES 2010’s players feel sluggish and unresponsive. PES has always felt this way to a degree, but it’s never been so pronounced. The ball moves with minimal realism. Run animations are as robotic as ever. Cross field passes often trigger kicking animations that defy the laws of physics. Shooting motions fail to convince.
For those looking to get a REAL street view of the GTA, there is no tool like Google Street View. The quality and details provided are simply OUTSTANDING. Google Street View allows you to get an “in-situ” idea of the surrounding for a specific address, in this particular case, Toronto, Canada.
Additionally, if you pay closer attention, you will find that almost all people faces and license plates are automatically blurred for privacy protection purposes. I was able to experiment with Google Street View at the beginning but having it in a familiar “neighborhood” gives you an idea on how good, crisp and accurate this piece of technology is. There is so much potential – like embedding augmented reality technology in order to show ads from real stores. The possibilities are endless.
Another cool feature from Google Street View is the ability to post user’s photos from that address, providing up-to-date information on the constantly changing surroundings.
Can you imagine having a 360 virtual tour of your next vacation spot? Checking restaurants and attractions offers in real time? At a Street Level?
Hitachi is implementing Natal like technology on their new HDTV lineup. Looks like the 3D motion sensing technology is the new trend; as Hitachi demonstrated their prototype of a gesture control at CEATEC JAPAN 2009. You can see how the user can navigate through the menus and tuning the sound volume up and down using his hand only…
