Googlephone Will Cost the Same as the iPhone
Quoting The Wall Street Journal, Reuters reports that T-Mobile will price the forthcoming HTC Dream, the first Googlephone, at an iPhone-matching $200. More importantly, the WSJ says that "T-Mobile USA plans to release new data service plans in conjunction with the Google phone that will be 'aggressively priced.'"
This makes it clear that T-Mobile sees the the Android phone as an antidote to AT&T's exclusive on the iPhone. Whether AT&T sees it the same way is another matter. The hope is that competition will bring down the price of AT&T's iPhone plans, but really, if somebody wants an iPhone, they'll buy one. For instance, Creative's Zen MP3 players are great, and much cheaper than iPods, but just how many of them do you see around?
And frankly, the United States has it pretty good when it comes to iPhone plans. "Unlimited data" pretty much means unlimited. In Europe, "unlimited" means you get your data rate cut after a few hundred megabytes. It's not cheap, either: You'd better have your wallet with you when you bend over and say "Please, sir. Can I have some more?"
We have hopes for the Googlephone, but an iPhone killer it ain't.
Tag Clouds, you have seen them on delicious, Technorati or Flickr, are an easy way to get people explore your site deeper. Here's a sample tag cloud that uses Google AJAX Search.
Tag Clouds (provided they are not cluttered and display just the relevant words) help visitors quickly visualize what your website is all about since the topics you frequently cover are mentioned in bold or relatively bigger fonts.
WordPress community already offers some excellent plugins for generating tag clouds (like the Ultimate Warrior) plus the upcoming release, WP 2.3, has inbuilt support for tagging.
digital inspiration tag cloudHowever, if you are on Blogger or have a non-blog website, there's no reason that you should miss Tag Clouds.
Here's how to add a good looking tag cloud to your Blogger blog:
1. Type your Blogger feed address in RainMaker
http://www.blogger.com/feeds/xyz/posts/default?max-results=999
Remember to replace xyz with your Blog ID. This URL will retrieve your latest 999 posts and supply that for analysis to RainMaker.
2. For the word link, type the following (where xxx is your blog name, e.g. labnol)
http://xxx.blogspot.com/search?q=%%enc_word%%
3. You can change the default font size, tag cloud dimension background image and colors to fit your site theme.
4. Now the tricky part. Once you have generated the tag cloud using RainMaker, right click over your tag cloud and click "View HTML source" - that the code you need to copy paste in your site.
Tip for Tag Clouds - If you really want visitors to spend more time on your site via Tag Clouds, always keep the number of words in Tag Cloud to an absolute minimum and that there is sufficient space around each word.

A physicist with more than 40 patents to his credit would seem to have his career clearly mapped out. But Robert J. Lang’s first love is…folding paper. One of the world’s foremost artists in origami—Japanese paper folding—Lang creates creatures of such realism and complexity that it seems impossible that each is composed of a single sheet of paper, no cuts, no glue.
Inspecting Lang’s eight-inch-tall ibex, for instance, you can see its beard, ears, horns, even its cloven hooves. His grizzly bear has teeth. His insects—Lang’s favorites—have fat bodies, twiggy legs, antennae, sometimes even spread wings.
And some of Lang’s origami creations are life size, like his eight-piece orchestra commissioned by a European paper company, or the Pteranodon with a 14-foot wing span created from a single, four-meter-square piece of paper. It flies on permanent display at the Redpath Museum of Natural History in Montreal, Canada.
No wonder Lang is swamped with commissions and commercial projects. His are not your children’s flapping birds.
Putting Math to the Fold
In his pleasant garden studio, Lang uses his MacBook Pro, TreeMaker and ReferenceFinder—two freeware programs he created—and Wolfram’s Mathematica to conceptualize his creations and and map them out for rendering in paper. On a shelf above a 30-inch Apple Cinema display connected to his laptop, a zoo of origami critters stands watch.
Lang, a lanky scientist with a boyish face, salt-and-pepper beard and the inevitable Birkenstocks, says “The cool thing about origami is that it is a very mathematical art. In many arts, there’s pure artistic skill. In origami, it’s almost half and half. You can do things with pure art, you can do things with pure math, but if you put them together, you get far more satisfying results than either one alone.”
Applying mathematical principles to origami, he adds, has enormously advanced the art. Though origami is several hundred years old, Lang explains, it has been limited to simple creations such as paper cranes or boats. “The modern art form,” he says, “was born in the 20th century when a Japanese artist named Akira Yoshizawa started creating new figures of artistic beauty that inspired other origami artists to expand their horizons.” Yoshizawa also created an instructional language that then enabled them to share their creations and build off of each others’ work.
Still, the idea of creating a fully detailed insect—say, a dragonfly with all its legs—from a single sheet of paper was often dismissed as an impossibility. But the art has advanced enormously; “In fact,” says Lang, “now, not only can we do dragonflies, but mosquitoes and spiders and even centipedes.”
Computer-Aided Origami
Lang acknowledges that one of the watersheds in the development of origami as an art form came from his own work, which includes his software contributions: TreeMaker and ReferenceFinder. These two freeware programs convert simple stick figures into full-blown origami crease patterns and even detail portions of the folding sequence for artists to follow.
Using TreeMaker, for example, Lang draws a stick figure of an animal—say the legs, body, head, antlers, ears of a deer—on his Mac. Then he enters the desired length of each stick. TreeMaker constructs a set of equations—in this case about 200—to describe the graph completely, then performs an optimization and analysis and creates the crease pattern for the deer. ReferenceFinder analyzes individual points and lines in the crease pattern and spits out the folding sequence for those elements.
“If you fold the crease pattern, you get a shape, called a “base,” that is a collection of points. You then apply shaping to make the points thinner and turn them the right direction,” Lang says, “and you get the folded deer that you set out to create.”
Lang began developing TreeMaker using THINK’s Lightspeed Pascal on his Mac SE/20 and then migrated it to subsequent machines and languages as the Mac and programming languages evolved. Today he uses Xcode for his primary programming environment and C++ for his programs. “I started on a Mac,” Lang says, “and while I’ve used other OSs in my career, I love Mac. On the Mac, I can shift effortlessly and seamlessly from program to program, whether it’s designing a figure, analyzing its underlying mathematics, creating folding instructions for a book, or documenting it on my website. The Mac simply becomes an extension of my hands and mind.
“But probably the biggest reason I’ve stayed using tools on the Mac is that, in my origami work, I use a lot of programs. There’s no giant origami program. You have to use lots of programs for bits and pieces of it. And Mac programs just cooperate with each other.”
Folding Paper for Fun and Profit
For Lang, every day is different. He creates origami insects for fun, and once was commissioned to make one for an entomologist, but he confesses “there’s not much commercial demand for insects.”
The call for Lang’s commercial work comes from advertising agencies commissioning interesting images for ads, artworks for private individuals, and communities that commission bronze versions of his origami for permanent display. What Lang considers remarkable, however, is that computational origami has a surprisingly wide range of practical applications—from space telescopes and automotive applications to medicine and consumer electronics.
For a project such as the entomologist’s favorite insect, Lang begins by taking measurements from photographs: How long are the legs? How are they connected? He measure distances manually so he knows exactly how long each leg should be. In many cases he shoots his own pictures in a corner of his studio and pulls them into iPhoto, where he organizes images by subject or job for his website and client presentations.
Then Lang fires up TreeMaker and sketches a stick framework for the insect. “The first thing,” Lang says, “is to get a sense of how to allocate paper on the page and to decide whether I want the symmetries of the creases to be square, hexagon or irregularly oriented. One of those is going to be a more natural fit for the subject, and I want to use the paper efficiently.”
He works on the 30-in Cinema Display to handle the many windows he has open at one time. “I love this display,” he says. “It was my little splurge present to myself a few months ago, but it has more than paid for itself in productivity. I can show many windows that show lots of code; I can put five different projects visible at once and cut and paste and move things around. I just hadn’t realized how much time I was spending scrolling around or hiding windows in order to accommodate all of my projects and programs.”
Working in TreeMaker on his Mac, Lang can set up and specify all of the relationships for the patterns in less than 15 minutes. “I can take that exact pattern and start folding,” he says.
For other projects, Lang uses the TreeMaker pattern as a starting point. “I might refine the pattern in TreeMaker,” he says, “or I get out pencil and graph paper and sketch the pattern to adjust dimensions or proportions. Or—if the subject is really complicated—I’ll do the same drawing in Macromedia Freehand so I can precisely select shapes, move them around, and adjust their positions. That way I end up with a pattern where all the paper is used, all the parts of the insect have a corresponding region of paper, and the creases from the legs line up perfectly with the creases from the body and each other.”
For small shapes, Lang prints out the pattern and tests it. If he’s transferring a pattern to a large sheet of paper, such as the four-meter square for the Pteranodon, he exports his Freehand illustration to a generic format such as eps and imports it into Mathematica.

The middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world. Centuries before the arrival of the man called Jesus, early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. Many peoples rejoiced during the winter solstice, when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight.
In Scandinavia, the Norse celebrated Yule from December 21, the winter solstice, through January. In recognition of the return of the sun, fathers and sons would bring home large logs, which they would set on fire. The people would feast until the log burned out, which could take as many as 12 days. The Norse believed that each spark from the fire represented a new pig or calf that would be born during the coming year.
The end of December was a perfect time for celebration in most areas of Europe. At that time of year, most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter. For many, it was the only time of year when they had a supply of fresh meat. In addition, most wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking.
In Germany, people honored the pagan god Oden during the mid-winter holiday. Germans were terrified of Oden, as they believed he made nocturnal flights through the sky to observe his people, and then decide who would prosper or perish. Because of his presence, many people chose to stay inside.
Saturnalia
In Rome, where winters were not as harsh as those in the far north, Saturnalia—a holiday in honor of Saturn, the god of agriculture—was celebrated. Beginning in the week leading up to the winter solstice and continuing for a full month, Saturnalia was a hedonistic time, when food and drink were plentiful and the normal Roman social order was turned upside down. For a month, slaves would become masters. Peasants were in command of the city. Business and schools were closed so that everyone could join in the fun.

Also around the time of the winter solstice, Romans observed Juvenalia, a feast honoring the children of Rome. In addition, members of the upper classes often celebrated the birthday of Mithra, the god of the unconquerable sun, on December 25. It was believed that Mithra, an infant god, was born of a rock. For some Romans, Mithra's birthday was the most sacred day of the year.
In the early years of Christianity, Easter was the main holiday; the birth of Jesus was not celebrated. In the fourth century, church officials decided to institute the birth of Jesus as a holiday. Unfortunately, the Bible does not mention date for his birth (a fact Puritans later pointed out in order to deny the legitimacy of the celebration). Although some evidence suggests that his birth may have occurred in the spring (why would shepherds be herding in the middle of winter?), Pope Julius I chose December 25. It is commonly believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival. First called the Feast of the Nativity, the custom spread to Egypt by 432 and to England by the end of the sixth century. By the end of the eighth century, the celebration of Christmas had spread all the way to Scandinavia. Today, in the Greek and Russian orthodox churches, Christmas is celebrated 13 days after the 25th, which is also referred to as the Epiphany or Three Kings Day. This is the day it is believed that the three wise men finally found Jesus in the manger.
By holding Christmas at the same time as traditional winter solstice festivals, church leaders increased the chances that Christmas would be popularly embraced, but gave up the ability to dictate how it was celebrated. By the Middle Ages, Christianity had, for the most part, replaced pagan religion. On Christmas, believers attended church, then celebrated raucously in a drunken, carnival-like atmosphere similar to today's Mardi Gras. Each year, a beggar or student would be crowned the "lord of misrule" and eager celebrants played the part of his subjects. The poor would go to the houses of the rich and demand their best food and drink. If owners failed to comply, their visitors would most likely terrorize them with mischief. Christmas became the time of year when the upper classes could repay their real or imagined "debt" to society by entertaining less fortunate citizens.
I know this is a stretch, but I wanted to review this game because of the other giant monster game on the Wii, Rampage:Total Destruction. I know, I know, the game did not get very good reviews but my son really wanted to play it and darn it all, if we didn't have a good time playing and beating it. There was lots of laughs and enjoyment from both of us. Well, I figured I may be able to tap into the same magic and play a game featuring massive monsters slugging it out. I was wrong, very, very wrong.
It's almost as well known a video-game curse as making a game based on a movie, Godzilla games generally stink. Oh sure, there will be people out there who say Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters Melee is a fine game, but it isn't, not really. Remember, this is the king of all monsters, an entire generation of children with cable and a VCR spent countless hours wasting their precious youth watching movies of grown men dressed in rubber suits duking it out over cardboard cities. Half the time there was some incoherent plot about little children and their ability to communicate with these monsters but did it really matter? We watched because it was goofy, and violent, and goofy, and the voices didn't match their mouths and it was goofy and it was one of the few guilty pleasures that I still partake in to this day. Plus, if you have seen any of the recent Godzilla movies, you would probably be somewhat impressed; the big G still has it in the movies. But I am getting off topic, the movies may rock, but this game is a real stinker and being a professional reviewer, I can back that claim in the following paragraphs.
The first thing that makes you want to cry is the fact that "Unleashed" is a horribly, horribly designed as far as the controls go. If someone were to walk into the room when you were playing they would see you swinging the wiimote around in a desperate attempt to get the character's attack to engage. Using the nunchuk attachment, you run around the screen trying to get dialed in on your opposition as you flail around the tiny controller in a pathetic disco move. Fighting is just as bad, switching from melee attacks to ranged attacks might as well have been aerobics, I swear I was sweating and breathing like I just ran the 100-meter dash after my first battle. Now that in itself wouldn't be so bad, but the game does not want to respond to the movements at all. It's an exercise in futility and it stinks. After a somewhat decent intro, to be smacked with the one-two punch of wiimote and nunchuk incompetence is almost enough to drive a Godzilla fan crazy.
Now, the visuals of the game aren't so much a step up from the GameCube's own Godzilla title, and - in fact - borrow heavily from creature design and locations. The thing that made me keep playing, and this is something only the hardcore Godzilla fan would care about, is the fact that I wanted to see as many of the famous monsters as possible. And I can happily report that all of my favorites are here: MechaGodzilla, Megalon, Biollante and my all time fave, Jet Jaguar (a robot who would reprogram itself to fight and in turn, grow to giant sizes). It was a real pleasure to see all the monsters from pretty much all of the movies. TOHO (the folks that own Godzilla and it's characters) also managed to throw in some new monsters as well. And while the game looks alright, I had high hopes for this title and was thinking it could at least push the Wii's possibilities of greatness. It does not, like I said; there are some recycled visuals and the disappointing battle locations do nothing.
Of course, the graphics stumble can be loosely attributed to the very weak storyline that the game attempts to follow. Now, at it's core, this is a brawler style game, but they could have cleaned this mess up quite a bit. By providing any number of the more popular storylines that the umpteen movies follow, the game could have had some real weight to it. For example, why not make it a more linear storyline? There are good monsters and bad ones, (they could even keep the lame crystal plot) by selecting one, you could play through the game as a hero and take on all the different bad monsters in various locations around the world. Likewise, you could play as a bad monster and take out the good ones at the some points around the planet. Reaching the end means you either save the world or enslave it for your alien masters (another common theme in the movies). Instead, there are several misguided attempts at a plot and then an all-out battle with several monsters. What's worse, you can hold back and watch the others duke it out until a winner is left, weakened. Then you slip in and kill the remaining monster. Now, it isn't as easy as this, but it is entirely possible to play the game this way since the A.I. is really lacking. Oh sure, you will need to do some fancy footwork, but eventually the monsters will turn on one another, clearly a misstep by the developers.
In addition, the game also has this horrible auto-target feature, Let me set the stage for you - you are playing as Godzilla, you are fighting King Ghidorah (a real baddie) as you have him on the ropes you wind up your radioactive fire breath. Just as you are ready to unleash a serious barbequing on him, a tank rolls into range and your auto target switches to it. You roast the tank instead of Ghidorah and he comes to and then fries you with his three dragon heads of doom. Now, this is exactly what is wrong with this game; you cannot decide 100% of the time who you are going to attack, whether you like it or not. And that, along with the poor control scheme, makes this game fail miserably.
The sound effects of the game can be argued that they are pretty accurate to the movies. There are the screams of monsters and really bad voice acting are actually par for the course in a Godzilla movie; so, the bad sound effects, horrendous voice acting and other cheesy noises are normal. However, we are all used to wanting (or needing) the coolest sound effects. This is not the case. Now I am split when it comes to this because I can appreciate bad sound effects in my Godzilla action, but since the game doesn't possess 1/10th of the fun a movie does, then I fall to the side of poor sound effects for the sake of them being just poorly made.

Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn is pregnant at the age of just 16.
Jamie Lynn has revealed she is "shocked" to be expecting her first child with boyfriend Casey Aldridge.
She said: "It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he."
The 'Zoey 101' star, who is 12 weeks pregnant, kept the news a secret until she got used to the idea. She told her mother Lynne shortly before Thanksgiving.
She told America's OK! magazine: "I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody.
"Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me.
"My mom was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all. A week after she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."
Jamie and Casey, who have known each other for years, began dating in high school.
Although Jamie is pleased about the pregnancy, she has advised her young fans to abstain from sex until they are married.
She said: "I definitely don't think it's something you should do, it's better to wait. But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in."
Lynne - who has had to postpone the release of her parenting book about raising her famous daughters indefinitely - admitted: "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."
Britney, 26 - who only has supervised visits with her sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and 15-month-old Jayden James after losing custody to ex-husband Kevin Federline - did not know her sister was pregnant.
The 'Gimme More' singer was shopping late last night (18.12.07) when she was told the news by a photographer.
She replied: "My sister's not pregnant!"
A source close to the star said: "This is going to kill her. In the end, she'll be supportive, but this is a big shock.
"Britney doesn't have to listen to anyone now but her sister still does so who knows what people are telling her. She has her career now too."
Christina Aguilera has reportedly scheduled a Caesarean section for January 10.
The 'Dirrty' singer - who is expecting her first child with her music executive husband Jordan Bratman - has allegedly decided to go for the operation to avoid the pain of natural childbirth.
A source close to the star said: "Christina has a C-section scheduled for January 10 but she might need to push the date of the delivery up." Despite having a baby shower earlier this month, Christina - who turned 27 yesterday (18.12.07) - is planning another event for her family and close friends.
The source added: "Christina will be having a second baby shower at the Hotel Bel-Air over Christmas with just her friends."
Christina and Jordan are said to be considering the names Jackson Jake and Max for their first-born.
An insider said: "Although Christina and Jordan want to make up their minds on a name before the birth, part of them wants to wait and see what the baby's personality is like before assigning a name for life."
Britney Spears' pregnant sister Jamie Lynn has split from her boyfriend.
Jamie, who revealed she is 12 weeks pregnant with her first baby with childhood sweetheart Casey Aldridge, is now seemingly single.
Yesterday (19.12.07), Casey, 17, set his mood to 'Blah' on social networking site MySpace and changed his status to "Me and Jamie are over :(". Jamie, who stars as a schoolgirl in hit Nickelodeon TV show 'Zoey 101', revealed she was "scared" to tell her parents she is expecting a baby.
She said: "I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody. Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision.
"Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me. My mom was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all. A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive."
Jamie's father, also called Jamie, is said to have been left "devastated" by the announcement. A source close to the Spears family told Us Weekly magazine:
"Jamie is devastated by the news. He is extremely depressed and feels Jamie Lynn has ruined her life." It has also been claimed Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline found out about the pregnancy before the 'Toxic' singer so he could be prepared for the "fallout".
The source added: "Kevin knew before Britney that Jamie Lynn is pregnant. In fact, Britney's mom Lynne, told Kevin about it on Monday, because Lynne wanted Kevin to be prepared when Britney found out."
It’s a technology that many people have heard of, but few may have seen. To me, 3D technology brings back memories of early Jaws films and those 3D Rollercoaster films, where people stood in a cinema watching the
ride, and even sometimes falling over.
I had never actually been to either of those 3D experiences, I just heard people talking about them, and also the funny looking cardboard glasses with a blue and green lense. I had also never watched a U2 concert before, so to do both at once (albeit in a cinema) was an exciting prospect.
I had always heard that a U2 gig was something to behold, one of those shows that everyone should try and see. The thing that intrigued me, was that with more and more people experiencing HD TV and HD films, and virtually having cinemas in their own front room, would a 3D show would be one step up? Would it be the next best thing from actually going to the gig?
The film is taken from their Vertigo Tour last year and most of the footage from two concerts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Right from the start, you could sense it would be a visual feast. The words U23D come out of the screen. I thought I heard faint gasps, but on reflection I think it was just me.
As the camera swoops over the crowd towards the stage, the 3D imaging begins to really show its worth. The hands of the crowd sweep past you and as you get to the stage you are instantly hit by the placing of the band members. Bono genuinely looks in front of the Edge and it feels like there is space between them. (I know that is what it is meant to feel like but I was sceptical before I went). Anyone at the front of shot looks like they are projected out from the screen. I am sure Bono is there, a matter of metres away from me. Instinct says 'reach out’, but I remember where I am.
There are also other moments when Bono reaches towards the camera, his hand reaching out from the cinema screen. In addition he swings a mic stand and it feels like it sweeps out across all of us watching. It is these short moments that illustrate why 3D technology is so impressive. It really brings things to life.
The Irish band fly through their classics, from Pride (In The Name of Love), Sunday Bloody Sunday, to Beautiful Day and Vertigo. You don’t have to be a big fan of U2 to appreciate this film and its technology. I must admit I got goose bumps when they finished to With or Without You, the whole of the Buenos Aires crowd singing. Not only did it look like an amazing concert but the technology took it to another level, in other words, the next best thing to actually being there,..
Opens in the UK February 22nd 2008.
Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z have married in secret, it has been claimed.
The superstar couple are said to be "blissfully happy" after tying the knot in a small private ceremony in Paris, during which they reportedly had personal inscriptions tattooed on their ring fingers.
A source said: "They didn't want all the attention that usually follows them around, they just wanted it to be intimate and romantic. It was lovely and they are both blissfully happy.
"They thought the tattoos would be a lovely personal touch." It had been rumoured that Jay-Z proposed to the Beyoncé, 26, during a luxury holiday in Cannes at the end of May.
The 'Irreplaceable' singer said previously: "I want to get married and I really want a family. In a perfect world I'd have two boys and a girl. You know someone loves you by the way he treats you and respects you. Me and Jay respect each other."
Earlier this month the pair celebrated Jay-Z's 38th birthday by watching an erotic cabaret show at Paris' famous nightclub le Crazy Horse Paris. They began dating after collaborating on the hit single '03 Bonnie and Clyde' in 2002.
Cadillac's latest attempt at grabbing a piece of the European- and Japanese-dominated compact sport-luxury market, the CTS wraps in a smaller package most of the electronic systems found in its larger siblings. The OnStar telematics system is standard, and the Stabilitrak stability-enhancement system, one of the least intrusive in the industry, is part of the $1,325 Sport package. The $3,125 DVD navigation-system package includes real-time traffic data and XM satellite radio and has a simple-to-use interface. Mechanically, the CTS combines GM's new front-engine, rear-wheel-drive Sigma chassis with a choice of 2.8- or 3.6-liter twin-cam V-6 engines with variable valve timing or, in the high-performance CTS-V, a 400-horsepower version of the LS6 V-8 found in the Corvette.
With the exception of the optional systems mentioned previously, CTS technology is more oriented toward driving than gadgets, as highlighted by the usual contemporary engine-management electronics and the ultra-high-strength steel welded into the chassis structure. RDS radio and DSP are available with only the optional Bose audio system. There is no backup camera or any form of cell phone integration. DVD movies can be played in the navigation DVD player, but you must first remove the navigation disc and put the car in neutral (manual) or park (automatic).
Angles and curves
Onlooker reaction to the 2005 Cadillac CTS's angular stealth-fighter exterior styling is of the love-it-or-hate-it variety, but the car definitely gets noticed. Inside, the center console looks somewhat like a PC tower case of the curvy variety designed to fit in at home--but it is functional. The LCD screen for XM radio and the DVD navigation system dominates that interesting piece of styling, and Cadillac thankfully has not overcomplicated the user interface. Audio, navigation, and traffic modes are controlled by two rotary push buttons at the bottom, hard-coded buttons on the left side, and context-sensitive buttons to the right of the screen. Everything is either well marked or very logical, and using the system doesn't require intense study of the owner's manual.
Hard-coded buttons on the left make it easy to call up functions on the LCD, while context-sensitive buttons on the right allow for more flexible controls.
The map display can be viewed in North Up, Heading Up, or Bird's-Eye views. Although you can beam address-book information into the car's contact database from a handheld or a cell phone via infrared, you can't directly feed these addresses into the car's navigation system--a disturbing oversight. Voice-recognition technology allows a voice-activated command interface for most audio and navigation functions. Volume and channel switching can also be controlled from the steering wheel; the rotary volume control is particularly useful.
The front seats, similar to those found in larger Cadillacs, are power adjustable and relatively flat for easy access, with adequate bolstering for performance driving. The front shoulder straps anchor directly to the seats. The rear seats have more room than those of most competitors. A pass-through is standard, with a split-folding feature optional. Unfortunately, although the navigation and audio systems get high marks for design, the same can't be said of the textured plastic used for most interior panels. It looks and feels cheap, not like anything that should be in a Cadillac.
Earning a place in its class
Our test car had the 3.6-liter V-6, an aluminum-alloy twin-cam, 24-valve unit with variable valve timing. Mated to a six-speed Aisin manual transmission, it's rated at 255 horsepower at 6,200rpm, with 252 pound-feet of torque at 3,200rpm. The available automatic is a five-speed, comparable to the automatics in competitive cars. Sound like a recipe for performance? Indeed, but like many modern high-revving engines, this one is merely adequate at low revs. It gets happier as it revs higher, with a strong midrange and high end.
Although you can beam in addresses from your PDA, they are not integrated with the navigation system's route guidance.
The standard-equipment six-speed gearbox is a good match for the engine, although we weren't impressed with the shift linkage. We got 21mpg on average, driving mostly moderately and with a good mix of city and highway miles--competitive with most other cars in this class. Like the engine, the suspension gets happier as it gets pushed harder. Even with the firmer springs and shocks of the Sport package, ride comfort is very good in normal operation. Ride it harder in the corners, and the 2005 Cadillac CTS digs in, with enthusiasm. It's very comparable to the best from the German and Japanese competition.
Like most modern luxury cars, the Cadillac CTS has standard dual-stage front, front-side, and side-curtain airbags. Cadillac includes OnStar with a free one-year subscription to the Safe and Sound feature package. Xenon High Intensity Discharge headlights are available. The Stabilitrak 2.0 stability-enhancement system comes as part of the Sport package. With relatively transparent operation, it controls understeer or oversteer by gentle application of one or more individual brakes and gently decreases engine power if it deems that is necessary. It can be disengaged for high-performance driving. Strong brakes are a necessary match for a strong engine, and the Cadillac CTS scores high with four-wheel vented discs with standard antilock and traction control. The CTS is covered by a four-year/50,000-mile warranty.

Sometime within the next few months, a Russian device may dip into a place where no man has been before. It won't be on another planet, or even the dark side of the moon. It will be on this planet, in one of Earth's most austere regions, in a place that has not been disturbed in millions of years.
Story
A Russian drilling rig has penetrated through more than two miles of Antarctic ice and is within about 70 meters of a huge subglacial lake that may harbor microbial colonies that are unlike anything ever seen on Earth. It's an exciting time for some scientists, and a matter of concern to others.
Lake Vostok is a huge body of fresh water, about the size of Lake Ontario, that is part of a recently discovered network of at least 150 lakes beneath Antarctica's massive ice sheets. The immense pressure of the ice keeps the water in a liquid form. The lakes are fed by subglacial rivers that pump water throughout an astonishing aquatic system, at least a couple of miles below the top of the ice field.
The rivers and lakes are now thought to play a key role in regulating the flow of Antarctica's ice sheets toward the ocean.
"The water under the ice sheets is what lubricates the glaciers and controls their movement toward the ocean," said oceanographer Mahlon "Chuck" Kennicutt II of Texas A&M UniversityCollege Station. in
Kennicutt is involved in several international programs to explore Antarctica, which, for more than 50 years, has been a model of international cooperation.
Photos
A team of scientists reported earlier this year that ice above some of the subglacial lakes was moving at a significant pace, at least a couple of meters a day.
"It's really ripping along," Helen Fricker, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, said at the time.
The problem is that no one knows enough about those giant subsurface aquifers — which seem to be key players in the movement of the ice — to really evaluate their potential impact on Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise, due to global warming.
