| Top Swimmer to Quit Twitter During Olympics, Blames Trolls Posted: 31 May 2012 06:29 PM PDT      Two-time gold medalist swimmer Rebecca Adlington will take a Twitter timeout during this summer's Olympics in London. Why? Because of trolls who send vile comments about her looks, she says. Adlington has about 50,000 followers, and looks like a normal — albeit very fit — person. She interacts with Twitter followers and posts training and personal updates regularly. But that level of engagement has apparently come with a price. Adlington recently told the Associated Press the online hate is "awful" and gets under her skin. "Even if there are 10 nice comments, you get one idiot," she says. "I can't help the way I look … but that has nothing to do with my swimming." As an athlete competing in her sport's biggest event, Adlington says, "you don't want that added stress." Adlington posted a message to her @BeckAdlington account on Thursday saying that, while she does find an Olympics break wise, she "would never" quit the social network outright. She also blocked at least one troll, posting this message Thursday after a lengthy back and forth:  On the other side of the female-Olympians-on-Twitter-spectrum, hurdler Lolo Jones has become a darling among media and fans. An attractive 29-year-old who recently spoke candidly to HBO's Real Sports about remaining a virgin until marriage, Jones has added more than 20,000 followers — and increase of almost 40% — over the past two weeks. This summer's games are being hyped as the most social Olympics ever, and the International Olympic Committee has made social engagement a high priority. Earlier this week, the IOC launched Foursquare check-ins, and last month unveiled an Olympics Athletes' Hub to connect fans with verified athlete Facebook and Twitter feeds as well as additional digital content. Some stringent restrictions on what fans and athletes are allowed to post from where during the event, however, has some worried the Olympics won't end up being so social. Who are the athletes you'll be following on social media during the Summer Olympics? Can it be more of a distraction than a help to them? Let us know in the comments.

| Beware the Laptop Mutants! Intel Launches Ultrabook Ivy Bridge Chips Posted: 31 May 2012 06:04 PM PDT    Intel officially launched the next wave of its new processing technology Thursday — this one including the chips meant for ultra-thin laptops or, as Intel calls them, Ultrabooks. The dual-core Ivy Bridge chips won't just make for speedier, better performing laptops — it should also lead to never-before-seen hybrid designs. Mutant laptop-tablets, if you will. But that isn't necessarily a great thing for consumers. In a blog post Thursday, Intel said it would show off many PCs based on the new chips at next week's Computex trade show. "There will be more choice in style with a variety of both traditional but sleek and ultra-thin clamshell designs," the statement said, "as well as new convertible systems which means that the device can change physical form based on how you want to use it – in laptop or tablet mode." "Change physical form" is overstating things a little. These aren't Transformers. But the designs are novel. Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga, which folds the screen over 360 degrees to convert from laptop to tablet is a good example, and there are others that remove their keyboards altogether. Some go even further. It's only a prototype, but Intel's Nikiski laptop (shown in the pic above and the gallery below) sports a large transparent touchpad. When it's folded up, some of the screen is still visible through the touchpad — which can display a customized Windows 8 interface that lets the user do basic stuff, like check calendar appointments. While the Nikiski itself isn't coming to market, you can bet models like it are. It's an exciting time for laptops. Ivy Bridge is making bolder designs possible, and it's hard not to see that as a good for the industry and designers. I'm just not so sure it's going to be great for consumers — at least not in the short term.
But what if you buy something with a crazy design that totally tanks? As early adopters who opted to buy the Nokia Booklet 3G, PowerMac G4 Cube or any "Ultra-Mobile PC" can tell you — you have junk, or at least a machine that gets a lot less useful a lot more quickly. If the Intel's hype is to be believed, we're about to enter a period of varied and experimental laptop design. It's exciting, but it's also worth exercising a little caution in the coming months, at least when you're thinking about where to spend real money. We're still not even sure if consumers will respond positively to touchscreens in laptops. While it makes some sense, especially when you consider Windows 8 is designed from the ground up for touch, it adds a significant premium (which is why full capacitive touchscreens are a rarity even in all-in-one designs), and there's some evidence that the experience isn't great. So unless you count yourself a serious early adopter, take the interesting and unusual laptop designs we're sure to see next week with some sizable chunks of salt. And if you're in the market for a new model, plenty of manufacturers have designs that'll suit you fine, even if they can't bend backwards.

Buying a new laptop is an expensive proposition, something most people do every few years (I'm still riding a machine I bought in 2009). It's a commitment, and more important, it presumes getting good support.| You are subscribed to email updates from Dating To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
