Haswell is hardly a secret at this point: there's been a steady drip-drip of demos and technical leaks since as far back as 2011, and just a month ago we brought you the low-down on its integrated graphics. But today, finally, we have official pricing for a number of variants, a concrete date for availability (this coming Tuesday, June 4th) and, perhaps most importantly, some detailed benchmark claims about what Haswell is capable of -- particularly in its mobile form.
Sure, Intel already dominates in MacBooks, Ultrabooks (by definition) and in hybrids like Surface Pro, but the chip maker readily admits that the processors in those portable PCs were just cut-down desktop chips. Haswell is different, having been built from the ground up with Intel's North Cape prototype and other mobile form factors in mind. As a loose-lipped executive recently let slip, we can look forward to a 50 percent increase in battery life in the coming wave of devices, with no loss of performance. Read on and we'll discover how this is possible and what it could mean for the dream of all-day mobile computing.
Forex trading involves the simultaneous exchange between two currencies. Shares are bought and sold in order to make profits. The Forex market is not actually found in any physical place, instead is a network of banks and individuals all involved in the process of changing currency. Because of this, the Forex market is open 24 hours a day, following the three main markets, the United States of America, Europe, and Asia. The main currencies found in the Forex market are: EUR = Euro GBP = British Pound (Sterling, Cable) JPY = Japanese Yen CHF = Swiss Franc (Swissie) USD = United States Dollar NZD = New Zealand Dollar (Kiwi) AUD = Australian Dollar (Aussie) CAD = Canadian Dollar Forex trading is different from traditional stock trading as you trade on a margin, rather then the full sum of the contract at hand. With regular stocks, you must deposit the full amount of the shares. With Forex trading, a 1% margin is used, meaning you one have to pay 1% of the total amount of the contract. For example, if the contract price is 100,000 dollars, you are only required to place 1,000 into the account. The margin paid is more of an insurance policy just in case the trade goes bad. Successful Forex traders must learn the ins and outs of Forex trading before becoming successful. This often takes years of risking their money and time. In fact, new investors that try to trade on the market alone have a 95% failure rate. If you are new to Forex trading, you may have found that learning the basics needed to succeed may be a daunting task. The only real way to learn is to place yourself, and you money on the line as you learn the basics of the Forex trading system. This truly makes learning this new system a practice makes perfect situation. However, Statistics show that 95% percent of new investors who attempt to trade on the Forex market fail, meaning that you are potentially risking large amounts of money. Another option is hiring a Forex trading professional to do the work for you. This will take some of the pressure off of you. The only flaw with this option is you are still placing large amounts of money into the market through a human. While a professional would have the knowledge to rely more on statistics and numbers, they are still human, and human emotion can alter the way trades are completed. The only sure way a new investor can trade efficiently is by using a trading program. Trading programs not only rely on information rather then emotion, they have the potential to do all the work for you, eliminating the need for hours of studying to learn the basics of the Forex system. FreedomRocks is an online trading system that does just that. Once you account is setup, you define the preset limits and instructions, and then sit back and watch the program do the work for you. At the end of the day you have a potential of making large amounts of money, without the risk of doing it yourself. One alternative to going through the process of learning the system is using an online trading system such as FreedomRocks. FreedomRocks allows you to set the preferences you want, and will literally do the work for you. All you have to do is sit back and watch the profits build.

QUESTION: Which is the best way to become a millionaire on the stock/forex markets; speculating or investing? Just curious as to which option is the best option if you want to become a millionaire on the stock/forex markets out of speculating or investing? Also, which is the best recommended and what are the advantages/disadvantages to each of them?
ANSWER: Investing requires thoughtful study and the use of analytical techniques proven to enable one to track corporate progress. The uninformed tend to view stock investments as speculative but the stock investor will usually call currency markets a potential win-or-lose-it-all proposition.
You wouldn't believe the long hours an investor puts into his/her work. Credibility is on the line at all times for retail investors rely upon us for secure, meaningful information before making their investments in our recommendations.
Investments rarely lose all money invested in a day or a week. This isn't the case alternatively in the case of currency trading. A successful investor must be vitally aware of and able to summon up balance sheet stats on each portfolio investment. Working at this is a full time job and then some, it's not just calling the broker and placing your order. Still, it's the greatest woork in the world for me and anyone who happens to enjoy geopolitical drama and has a penchant for detail.
Some might argue that this isn't about safety but only about making million. When luck is the premise, anything can happen. But you also ask about which is "the best way" and I'll have to vote for investing as it can eventually lead towards big earnings. I've won some major gains, also have lost my share. But I know from experience a diligent investor with basic skills and lots of hard work can do it.

QUESTION: Day Trading Forex possible to make a living? Hey,
Are there people in the world who day trade forex for a living? I've read so many articles bashing day trading as gambling and impossible to make money, but I also read some forex trader interview who just trade a few hours a day and make a good living. Is it true? Anyone has experience?
ANSWER: I trade FX as well as stocks and I used to be a professional trader.
Succesful trading really has to do with emotional control and dscipline because its based on odds. The odds are usually not higher than 55:45 in your favor so expect to lose fairly often. It is extremely nerve wracking and it takes lots of money you can AFFORD to lose to do succesfully as a professional. Most likely at least 25K. It also takes years to learn and often with huge losses. You make the big money in usually only 20% of the time, the rest try not to get torn up in the markets. Its a good job for adrenaline junkies but its not for everyone.
Yes people say 90% of people fail to make it, however so do 90% of doctors and lawyers. Its about how much you want it and how hard you wanna work at it. But it most definitely IS possible.

At the U.S. professional national championships in 2010, a 21-year old rider on the developmental Livestrong cycling team, Ben King, broke away less than four miles in and held on to win the 115-mile race. In 2011, a former collegiate running star, Mathew Busche, 26, beat 16-time Tour de France finisher George Hincapie, 38, in a whisper-thin sprint. In 2012, Timmy Duggan, 29, who?d suffered a near career-ending head injury four years earlier, won solo, arms wide across the line.
?The three consecutive victories fed a narrative of a domestic cycling scene emerging from an era dogged by doping. The wins seemed to be evidence of a new, clean generation of American pros, whose time had finally come.
?Then, at the 2013 Volkswagen USA Cycling Professional Road and Time Trial National Championships on Monday, Jelly Belly-Kenda?s Fred Rodriguez, 39, outsprinted a select group of top domestic racers and up-and-coming European-based pros to win his record fourth national title. ?I?m back!? Rodriguez shouted as he crossed the line. The win inspired a slew of stories about an aging pro, claiming one last major victory. It also left a lingering sense that ghosts of cycling?s past had returned.
In the 2000s, racing for major teams like Mapei and Lotto, Rodriguez had placed second at Milan San-Remo and won a stage of the Giro d?Italia. He had gone toe-to-toe with top European sprinters like Mario Cipollini and Alessandro Petacchi, who?ve since been implicated in doping scandals or suspended outright.
?Though Rodriguez was never publicly implicated or suspended, he competed during an era we now know, especially in the wake of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency?s damning Armstrong investigation, was rife with cheaters from our own soil. And on Monday, when he crossed the line first in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, many people weren?t happy.
One rider crossed the line in a frenzy and yelled, ?Anyone but him.? Another pleaded to his soigneur, ?Please, tell me Freddie didn?t win.? On Facebook, a racer wrote, ?The entire field put their head down in disappointment.?
To be clear, sprinters, especially those who are uneasily shaken by steep hills, are often unpopular in the peloton. They suck wheel. They sit on. They win, a lot.
But in the discontent over Rodriguez?s victory, there was a deeper implication. In the online race recaps, many commenters lauded the victory by ?Fast Freddie.? Others wrote insinuating jabs, like, ?Not normal.?
?I felt a certain sinking in my stomach, too. In this new era of U.S. bike racing, one assumed to be much cleaner, we can?t help but treat impressive performances with a certain level of suspicion. Though I?d rooted for Rodriguez a decade ago, it was hard for me to cheer for him now. I wondered if another young, clean racer had been cheated. But I also wondered, was it fair for me to feel that way about Freddie?
Rodriguez, who?s raced domestically since joining the former bad boy outfit Rock Racing in 2008, had failed to sign with another domestic pro team after Exergy folded last November. Without a pro contract, he competed for the amateur Predator Carbon Repair team, and partook in a handful of national races like the Merco Cycling Classic, Redlands Classic, and Silver City?s Tour of the Gila, where he?d scored a few top-10 finishes.
Three weeks out from nationals, Rodriguez finally came to an agreement with Danny Van Haute, the director of Jelly Belly, who had been courting him since March. ?That?s when I really focused,? said Rodriguez, who told me he?d also been participating in grand fondos and charity rides to maintain his fitness. ?I went back to what?s always worked for me, doing four- to five-hour zone 2 rides, holding upwards of 300 watts at the end of the ride.?
Rodriguez said he?d adopted a vegan diet, which had helped him lower his weight previously in his career, and brought a conservative strategy to racing nationals. ?I knew I would be lacking race intensity, so I made sure to limit the number of accelerations I had to make during the race,? he said.
?I was not at 100 percent of my fitness,? Rodriguez told me.
?When I asked Van Haute about Rodriguez?s victory, he initially berated me for bringing up the fact that, you know, Freddie had successfully competed against this previous generation of dirty racers. ?I did my research before signing him, there?s not one mention!? Van Haute said. ?That era?s over, and so is this conversation.? Then, after he?d cooled down and apologized, Van Haute explained that it was fresh legs and smart team riding that snared Jelly Belly the victory.
?Freddie didn?t make it over the mountain with the strongest climbers,? Van Haute explained. As the leaders raced away, Rodriguez implored his teammates to stay with him. With no cohesion in the front group, Jelly Belly chased them down.
?Finally, on a media conference call hosted by USA Cycling Thursday afternoon, I asked Rodriguez himself about, what I felt, was the elephant in the room. ?As you know, many pro cycling fans are jaded and cynical,? I started.
?After your win at pro nationals, rightfully or wrongfully, there was some suspicion, and I?m wondering how you respond to that?? I continued, anxiously.
?You know, there?s always going to be,? Rodriguez said. Then he stopped. Then he started again. ?I look at this as a social problem, and I hate that just our sport has been thrown under the bus,? Rodriguez said. ?You look at life, you look at politics, you look at business, you look at anywhere there?s been success, and there?s always going to be people willing to take it to the next level.?
?Our goal as people, as athletes, as the majority,? Rodriguez said. ?Is to show there?s better ways of doing it.? (I later found Rodriguez gave a very similar response on Competitor Radio, only more eloquently, and less taken by surprise.)
Rodriguez went on to explain how his European victories had been hard fought, and described his work with the Fast Freddie Foundation to instill kids with life lessons through cycling. ?It?s hurtful what?s happened in our sport, and it?s made me doubt what?s real,? Rodriguez said. Then he asked, ?What is real??
?I feel lucky I was able to compete at a high level,? Rodriguez said.
?Are you upset that people might view you as being part of this generation of dirty racers, even though you, as you say, weren?t?? I asked.
?Yeah! Of course,? Rodriguez said. ?It?s hurtful. They don?t know how hard I?ve had to fight for everything I?ve done. They don?t know my life.?
Karen from Pedal Dancer piped in to ask Freddie a question, and I was left to contemplate what I?d learned, if I?d learned anything. So I went back and watched the finish of the national road race that Pedal Dancer had posted on its website.
I saw Phil Gaimon?s (Bissell) cadence slowing after a long solo breakaway, and Matthew Busche (RadioShack-Leopard) implausibly sacrificing himself to bring Gaimon back. Ben Jacques-Maynes (Jamis-Hagens Berman) surging early. Rodriguez accelerating for his wheel. A long, downhill sprint. Freddie?s arms in the air. Kiel Reijnen (UnitedHealthcare) banging his handlebars.
The course was only 100 miles long, and it wasn?t out of the question for a racer without WorldTour miles in his legs to hang at the end. Rodriguez?s performance didn?t make me feel uneasy, only his perhaps unfair implication by association with a now-tainted time in American cycling. A time for which we?ll always be reminded, as much as we want to usher in the sport?s new heroes.
As the conference call with Rodriguez wound to a close, someone asked him if he?d change anything about the Chattanooga course. ?Yes,? he said, make it longer.

The deforestation of the Brazilian rain forest has created a hidden consequence: The seeds of palm trees have evolved rapidly to be smaller.
The change is the result of a domino effect that begins with human agriculture and hunting, which have devastated large bird populations in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. With these birds, which include colorful toucans and cotingas, locally extinct or barely hanging on, the palm trees have no way to disperse their largest seeds. As a result, seed sizes are smaller in parts of the rain forest where large birds are missing, finds a new study detailed in the May 31 issue of the journal Science.
Combined with climate change, the result could be devastating for palms, said study leader Mauro Galetti, an ecologist at Paulista State University in Brazil.
"If we think about climate change, we will have less rainfall, and we know that for smaller seeds, they lose more water than large seeds," Galetti told LiveScience. "That's a major problem for this palm." [Images: Palm Trees and Lost Birds of Brazil]
Shrinking seeds
The Atlantic Forest runs along the coast of Brazil, starting at the easternmost tip of South America and continuing approximately to the country's southern border. The region has been heavily altered by human agriculture, with only about 12 percent of the original forest remaining. Of that area, about 80 percent is disjointed fragments too small to support large animals. As a result, large fruit-eating birds have vanished or nearly vanished from much of the forest. These birds swallow fruit seeds and spread them through their droppings over many miles, making the animals crucial to the forest ecosystem.
Galetti and his colleagues studied seed sizes in 22 populations of palm trees, some in fragments where hardly any large birds survive and others where bird populations are relatively robust.?
They found that seeds are consistently smaller in sites without large birds. Seed sizes vary, but in areas with few or no large birds, common sizes range from about 0.3 to 0.4 inches (8 to 10 millimeters) in diameter, with almost no seeds a half-inch (12 mm) in diameter. In areas with robust large-bird populations, half-inch (seeds are common, with some seeds reaching 0.55 inches (14 mm). In sites without large birds, the researchers found that seeds with a diameter of a half-inch or larger had nearly no chance of being dispersed away from their parent tree.
Other factors ? such as soil fertility, forest cover and climate ? could not explain the change in seed size, the researchers reported.
Human action
Using genetic data from the seeds, Galetti and his colleagues created computer models to figure out how long it would have taken trees to evolve smaller seeds in bird-free zones.
"For the plants that we studied, it was 50 to 75 years," Galetti said. "It's quite fast."
Human deforestation in the Atlantic Forest dates back to the 1800s, more than enough time for the observed changes to evolve.
The researchers plan to study other plant species, and to take a deeper look at the genetics of the seeds, to understand how forest fragmentation might be affecting heredity.
The only way to turn the tide against the changes, Galetti said, is reforestation and conservation.
"First of all, we have to replant the forest and put back animals that are important, and stop hunting," he said.

Think same-day delivery is the bee's knees? In China, an e-commerce company called Jingdong not only delivers your package a few hours after you place your order, but also gives you power to track it in real time on a map. You can even bug the delivery crew while they're on the road, although they probably (hopefully) won't pick up the phone or text you back while driving. The company offers its services in six major Chinese cities, including notoriously populous Beijing and Shanghai. Jingdong is a young company that's yet to be profitable, but based on what it offers its customers, one can't help but feel that eBay Now, Amazon Prime, and Google Shopping Express should step their game up.
