Fast & smooth - Project Butter video uploaded by Google Mobile

During yesterdays keynote presentation of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean at Google I/O, you will have heard talk of 'Project Butter.' This is the new, 'buttery smooth,' UI coming along with Jelly Bean. To highlight just how good this is, Google Mobile has uploaded a demonstration/promotional video to their YouTube channel. 

In the video, you see a vastly slowed down comparison between two different Galaxy Nexus phones. One runs Ice Cream Sandwich, the other is packing Jelly Bean. We won't spoil the ending, but it's pretty impressive.

PST: Germany needs complete game to beat Italy

source: AP

Germany will be the fourth team in FIFA?s top eight on Italy?s road to Kiev. Nobody thinks FIFA?s rating are worth much, but as a quick-and-dirty way to describe Italy?s level of competition, they work pretty well. Spain, Croatia and England are all good teams, as is Germany. Yet to this point at the European championships, Italy remains undefeated.

It?s a strange kind of undefeated, though. They?ve only won one match, beating Ireland 2-0 ? the fewest goals Ireland allowed in a match. Based on those results, it?s hard to describe how good Italy actually is. Conclusions have to be succinct. They?re good at prevention, seemingly bad at goal creation and stay close to any opponent. Aside from Italy?s ability to induce draws, we don?t have much to go on.

That?s what makes projecting their semifinal versus Germany so difficult. Reflexively, Germany has to be favored. The implied logic: We?ve seen Germany play to a certain level; Italy?s highs haven?t reached that level; Therefore, Germany is the better team.

And they may truly be the better team, in a cosmic, irrelevant, let?s run Monte Carlo simulations until we can tease this out kind of way. All that matters on Thursday is how they match up with Italy, and based on what we?ve seen throughout this tournament (and through most of the Azzurri?s history), the Italians will be able to hold their own.

Whether Germany will be able to do the same is a more interesting proposition. The favorites are talented, skilled, and prolific, but they?re far from perfect. The malaise they?ve shown during second halves is the type of characteristic Italy can exploit. Against the Azzurri, Germany?s going to have to play much closer to mistake-free soccer than we saw in the quarterfinals, when an underdog Greek side was able to pull even in the second half.

Germany?s going to have to play their first complete game of the tournament. Thursday at 2:45 p.m. Eastern, we find out if they have it in them.

1. Attrition condition

Right back Ignacio Abate had to leave the England match with a leg injury. Midfielder Daniele de Rossi came out with symptoms of sciatica. Central defender Giorgio Chiellini missed the match with a thigh injury. All three are expected to be back for Germany, which is good because with Christian Maggio suspended, Abate?s the squad?s only natural right back.

Antonio Cassano can?t play a full match. Andrea Pirlo looked to be slowing before a long rest ahead of the quarterfinal. Head coach Cesare Prandelli admits the squad is tired. Throw in injured Thiago Motta, and more than half of Italy?s choice starting XI have questions surrounding them coming into Thursday?s match.

Italy is losing a battle of attrition. With Germany coming in off two extra days rest already having a deeper squad, fatigue may cancel out all of Italy?s guile, leaving the Azzurri there for the picking.

2. Our one launching pad

Against England, Italy again showed that everything goes through Andrea Pirlo, a dangerous proposition given the 33-year-old?s apparent trouble with short rest. But even if the Juventus maestro is fine for Thursday?s match, there?s the tactical aspect to Italy?s lack of other options.

Over their quarterfinal?s first 15 minutes, Pirlo had trouble dictating play. England forwards Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck did a good job of either preventing the ball from getting to him or hassling him once it had arrived. Then they stopped, and Pirlo went back to being his normal orchestrating self. Italy dominated the rest of the game.

Are the Germans as likely to sacrifice marking for shape? Or, if you don?t feel like giving England the benefit of the doubt, are they as likely to ignore Italy?s best player?

It?s hard to imagine Joachim L?w being so brazen about his team?s chances. Pirlo?s likely seen his last free ride of the tournament.

3. Not afraid to change

L?w made three surprise changes for Greece, shaking up a team that went undefeated through the ?Group of Death? ? an effort to craft a more fluid attack. In hindsight, this seems less a response to Greece?s defense than preparation for the England-Italy winner. Defeating Greece was never going to be a problem, but getting an attack in place that had the movement and skill to best the Italians? Perhaps L?w didn?t think he could just flip a switch.

If that was Italy was in his sights when L?w picked his Greece XI, Miroslav Klose will almost surely play in place of Mario Gomez again. Marco Reus will also likely find a way into the team, his work with Mesut ?zil too much to resist. The only question is whether Lukas Podolski or Thomas Muller will make way.

The midfield could also change. L?w and Bastian Schweinsteiger insist the German midfielder will play despite the player?s confirmation that a late winter ankle injury has not fully healed. The effect on his movement has been obvious, even if he?s been able to compensate in other ways. Against Italy, having Schweinsteiger as a fulcrum at the base of midfield wouldn?t be a bad thing, though if L?w feels he?s too limited to have the needed impact in a Euro semifinal, Toni Kroos could get the call.

4. No more like before

Having allowed only three goals at Euro 2012, Germany?s far from a leaky ship. That all three goals were very preventable begs the question of whether the Germans will be able to contain an Italy team attuned to exploiting their opponent?s errors.

Granted, every team tries to take advantage of their opponents? mistakes, but for Italy, it?s the prime directive. Almost everything they do is predicated on being ready to exploit others, and while Cesare Prandelli is slowly trying to change this, Italy?s still a team that sacrifices the ability to generate their own chances for the possibility they can take advantage of others?.

Instead of Mats Hummels losing Robin van Persie for the goal Germany allowed the Dutch, it could be Mario Balotelli on Thursday. Instead of Michael Krohn-Dehli being the beneficiary of poor corner kick marking, it could be Claudio Marchisio. Instead of Georgios Samaras getting ball side of Jerome Boateng to score after the German defense was caught out, it could be Ricardo Montolivo.

And then the Germans would see Italy?s real danger: They can make that one goal hold up.

Obama to address Latino leaders a day after Romney

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is basking in the aftermath of his breakthrough directive on illegal immigration and pressing his jobs agenda before a meeting of Hispanic leaders, one day after they gave a cool reception to GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney and his newly softened stance on immigration.

The president was to speak to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials on Friday near Orlando, his first speech to a Hispanic group since he decreed that many young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children would be exempted from deportation and granted work permits valid for two years.

The immigration initiative, announced less than five months before the November elections, delighted many in the Latino community and drew renewed attention to the key Hispanic voting bloc and its potential for affecting the presidential election with its turnout and energy. Obama won 67 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2008, and aides believe he could do even better this time.

Romney, who spoke to the group Thursday, backed off the tough anti-illegal immigrant rhetoric of the Republican primaries and vowed to address illegal immigration "in a civil but resolute manner." He outlined plans to overhaul the green card system for immigrants with families and end immigration caps for their spouses and minor children.

But while he attacked Obama's new plan to ease deportation rules as little more than a "stopgap measure," he was vague about how he would treat immigrant children brought to the country illegally by their parents and refused to say whether he would reverse Obama's policy.

Obama and his advisers clearly see an advantage on the issue, and Obama was expected to draw attention to his initiative Friday and call for an overhaul of the entire immigration system. He also was expected to renew his call for Congress to pass his job creation measures, which he has proposed to pay for with tax increases on the wealthy, an idea Republicans reject outright.

Though hardly monolithic in their approach to politics, a majority of Hispanics have been voting Democratic in recent elections. But Obama risked losing some support in part because Hispanics have been hard hit by the economy. What's more, Latino leaders had also grown frustrated with Obama because he failed to deliver on his 2008 pledge to overhaul immigration and because his administration was deporting illegal immigrants in record numbers.

Then came last week's announcement, which could benefit anywhere from 800,000 to 1.4 million immigrants in the U.S., depending on separate estimates.

Obama was to speak about two hours after Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who has been promoting a plan that would have dealt with young illegal immigrants in a similar fashion to what Obama accomplished administratively. Rubio's effort was a response to Democratic legislation, called the DREAM Act, that would have created a path to citizenship for some children of illegal immigrants.

Rubio, mentioned as a possible running mate for Romney, criticized Obama's policy, saying it ignored the Constitution and bypassed Congress. Romney has said he was studying Rubio's proposal but has not endorsed it.

During the Republican primaries, Romney said he would veto the DREAM Act ? formally the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act ? and complete a 2,000-mile border fence with Mexico to help stem illegal immigration.

Obama senior campaign adviser David Axelrod this week said Romney is "hopelessly twisted" on the issue of immigration. "He went as far to the right as he could in the primaries in order to become the nominee," Axelrod said. "Now he's desperately looking for a way out."

Romney seized on the temporary status of Obama's plan as his prime criticism. The Republican also vowed to offer illegal immigrants who serve in the military "a path to legal status," which the campaign says ultimately could allow for full citizenship.

But Romney's campaign could not immediately detail how many immigrants might be affected by his policies. Nor could they detail which would require legislative action.

"Despite his promises, President Obama has failed to address immigration reform," Romney said. "For two years, this president had huge majorities in the House and Senate ? he was free to pursue any policy he pleased. But he did nothing to advance a permanent fix for our broken immigration system. Nothing. Instead, he failed to act until facing a tough re-election and trying to secure your vote."

Romney also told the Latino officials that he would do away with Obama's signature health care law. Often a huge applause line with his audiences, his declaration prompted just a few to clap and one person in the audience booed.

Obama's campaign, which doesn't draw much attention to the health care law on the campaign trail, has made it a top issue in Spanish-language ads, targeting an audience that is among the most uninsured in the country.

Clay Guida?s hair won?t be flying free on Friday

UFC lightweight Clay Guida is as known for his hair as he is for his unlimited cardio and ability to withstand a punch. However, it won't be flying free on Friday when he faces Gray Maynard in Atlantic City. After a request from Maynard's camp to the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, Guida's hair will be braided back.

Though Guida usually fights with his long, curly locks flowing free and doesn't want to put his hair back, he also doesn't want a disagreement over hair to distract him before the fight. His manager said Guida plans to comply, which means the two sides won't have to go through a hearing.

"He doesn't want to do it, and I don't believe he's 100 percent happy about it, but he's being very understanding and very cooperative about it and he agreed to it," Nick Lembo of the New Jersey commission told MMAjunkie.com. "Otherwise, if he said, 'No, I'm not going to do that,' we'd have to have a hearing on it and let both sides present their case and have a commissioner's ruling on the issue."

Guida's hair has often been the topic of discussion. When the UFC's first video game came out, Guida was not included because the game's designers couldn't recreate his hair in video game form. UFC president Dana White offered Guida $10,000 to cut his hair, but he said to add a few zeroes on the number.

"The hair's here to? stay. It's part of my style, part of my trademark," Guida told Cagewriter in 2009.

Iconic science fiction writer Ray Bradbury dies at 91

Ray Bradbury, the author of classics such as ?Fahrenheit 451,? ?Something Wicked this Way Comes? and ?The Martian Chronicles,? died Tuesday night in Los Angeles at the age of 91.

Bradbury?s daughter confirmed the death of the legendary science fiction writer to the Associated Press Wednesday morning.

?Fahrenheit 451? finally released as an e-book

Bradbury began his career writing science fiction for fanzines in 1938 and became a full-time writer in 1943. His major breakthrough as a science fiction writer was the publishing of ?The Martian Chronicles? in 1950. The story of the effects of man?s attempt to colonize Mars after a massive nuclear war on Earth, the book reflected the anxieties over nuclear war in the 1950s and the fear of foreign powers.

Story: Ray Bradbury foresaw the future ? and didn?t trust it
    1. ?A Good Man?: Sargent Shriver, as remembered by his son
    2. ?Father's Day?: One man strives to connect with his son
    3. Vatican attacks popular US nun over sexuality book
    4. Rielle Hunter writes tell-all memoir on Edwards affair
    5. Prom: An American rite of passage

Perhaps his best-known book is ?Fahrenheit 451,? which was released in 1953 and tells the story of a professional book-burner who works under a totalitarian government that has outlawed the written word. The main character, Montag, flees for his life after he starts stealing books meant to be burned and falls under the tutelage of a professor out to educate him.

While Bradbury's books often focused on his vision of the future, he scorned modern technologies such as video games, ATMs and the Internet, the last of which he considered a scam to enrich computer companies.

Several of the author's works became movies or television shows, including the movie version of his novel ?Something Wicked This Way Comes.? Versions of Bradbury?s stories appeared on episodes of ?Alfred Hitchcock Presents? and ?The Twilight Zone,? and he also had his own cable series, ?Ray Bradbury Theater,? that ran from 1986-1992.

Risky reads! 5 books that have been banned

Among the awards Bradbury won during his career, he received the O. Henry Memorial Award, the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, and the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. His work also appeared three times in the Best American Short Stories collections.
