This perceptual battle between ears and eyes may cause irritation and listening fatigue, or if your ears win the perceptual battle (which happens for many people) then you will perceive a change in height of the soundstage as sounds pan from side to side through the center channel. If your center channel is below the height of the L/R speakers, your ears will pick that up and your brain will process the sound as being somewhere other than where the visual clues (screen) say it should be. Human ears have evolved to accurately localize sound at eye level and below, but have more difficulty localizing sound coming from overhead. You will almost always be better off with the speaker above rather than below the TV/Screen. I think I'm going to take the advice to DIY something for on top of the TV for now until I have the RPTV, and maybe even experiment with it if I can find something of the proper height to put the center on in front of the set as well, then I should be able to decide before I get the RPTV and order the center stand if necessary. Plus the center stands angle upward slightly. So one reason I was thinking about the stand for the center is I did figure it would put the center tweeter a little closer to the height of the mains, at worst, 1 foot below vs 2 feet above I'm guessing. The speakers are about 11" high and I'm estimating the tweeter as 8" up the speaker so one of those stand heights should put the tweeter at ear level. My center will be a JBL S-Center, my mains are S38II bookshelf speakers, I plan to put them on either 24" or 30" Wood Tech metal stands (once I measure listening level, I move into this apartment next week, I have the speakers, haven't ordered stands yet). So I'm just looking for any reasoning I might have missed, or if its a matter of personal preference, what do you prefer and why? I read an article suggesting on top was preferable but w/o any specific reason, plus I figure if you had a front projector you'd have no choice but to put it below (unless you wall mounted the center speaker). I kind of like the look and idea of the below placement with an RPTV but a lot of people seem to put theirs on top too. Mainly I'd like to avoid buying 2 $30-40 stands (the shelf top vs the down-in-front). My question is basically is there any particular reason to choose above over below or vice versa? So the center channel will probably go on top of his TV but if it won't sit there securely I may have to get the Sanus TV-top shelf, or possibly just wedge something in behind the speaker (though that doesn't sound like the greatest idea acoustically).Īnyway, I'm thinking when I get the RPTV I might get a center stand, the kind that goes down in front of the TV. This is probably a pretty trivial question, but I figured I'd ask it anyway since I can't quite seem to decide based on the information I have.īasically, I'm putting together an HT setup with my roommate and until I buy a nice big HD RPTV, we're using his analog 25" Sharp (*shudder*). It seems that this is more of a formality, as this applies to all fans after the Cole Cassidy name change. It’s already filled, only leaving you to fill in the reason as to why you want the change. It automatically redirects to a support ticket with the name change option selected. A link at the bottom of the piece leads to the request you can shoot over to the support team.

In a statement, Activision Blizzard said it was cooperating with the investigation. Securities and Exchange Commission is also investigating Activision Blizzard, and has subpoenaed the company and several current and former employees. Legal experts are interested in the outcome of the lawsuit, noting that the DFEH is highly selective in the cases it chooses to fight in court and that the suit could set a precedent for California labor law.Content creators on Twitch and YouTube who often feature games made by Activision Blizzard have wrestled with how to approach the topic on their streams and videos.Several sponsors for Activision Blizzard-run esports leagues have pulled back advertising, The Post reported Aug.Employees also organized a walkout July 28. In response to the lawsuit and the ensuing statements of company leaders, Activision Blizzard employees wrote an open letter to the company’s leadership on July 26, rebuking them what they perceived to be an “abhorrent and insulting” response to the lawsuit.The same day, Activision Blizzard confirmed that an executive in Blizzard’s human resources department was no longer with the company. Brack stepped down from his position as president on Aug. It also alleges he did not effectively mitigate those issues. Allen Brack, the president of Blizzard Entertainment, was personally aware of employee complaints of sexual harassment directed at men with senior positions at the company. The report resulted in an employee walkout, a letter from an Activision shareholder group and a petition signed by employees demanding the resignation of several executives, including Kotick. 16 report from The Wall Street Journal alleged that Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick was aware of sexual misconduct allegations at the company but did not inform the board of directors. 17 current and former employees interview by The Post detailed a workplace culture where women faced multiple incidents of harassment from men in leadership positions, and alcohol was free-flowing.Activision Blizzard disputes the allegations, saying the lawsuit’s claims were “distorted, and in many cases false.” The lawsuit followed an investigation by the DFEH that began in 2018 in response to complaints from Activision Blizzard employees.On July 20, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) filed a lawsuit against video game publisher Activision Blizzard, alleging widespread, gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment.

UI elements retain functionality and looks of the native Mac OS X (Cocoa) components, but is slower, uglier and buggier.Microsoft-designed graphics (including typographic) rendering on Mac OS is a big no, no.Most of the preferences (and in my opinion, the most important ones) are stored in a non-standard location in a proprietary binary format, unreadable by the user.(like slowly animated zooming-in-sliding-serial template icons in Word) Alot of slow and graphically heavy user interfaces.a new word, it will only be recorded for either all applications except Office, or only Office. Does NOT use the system-wide user-customizable dictionary and spell checking, which all other OS X applications use.Veeeerrryyy slow blinking non-system text cursor.Lack of text cursor while typing (what where they thinking?!).And let’s face it - Word and Excel is what keeps Office alive. Okay, so Entourage was probably not what you where looking for either. Well, not a very good move in my point of view. It's not perfect (far too many books are lending-disabled by the publisher), but it's still a great way to score some mainstream books without having to buy them.Was quite a big disappointment, actually.Įntourage is probably the biggest joke in modern Software history - it looks like something from the dark dungeons of windows 3.11, mac os 7 and some wicked Microsoft fantasy about Apple not being able to make good UI design, so MS had to reinvent alot of wheels.

It's compact, fast, attractive, and, from what I've seen so far, totally file-compatible. Thus, I'm shopping for replacements, and Kingsoft Office Suite 2012 has emerged as one of my top picks for taking over Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. On my Core i7 system, Office 2010 takes forever to load. It doesn't support Visual Basic or macros, however, so if you're a power user, you might want to consider the $69.95 Pro version, which adds those features ( among others).Īlso, you don't have to take my word for it find out why CNET staffers rated Kingsoft Office 2012 4.5 stars out of 5.Īnother reason I'm jazzed about this suite is that I'm increasingly dissatisfied with Microsoft Office-and not just the ridiculous price tag. The free version is extremely capable, offering robust counterparts to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint-and file compatibility with all three. Maybe I'm over-rationalizing, but the fact is that I like the look of Kingsoft Office Suite 2012, and I like the price even more. What's more, the developers may have borrowed heavily from Microsoft's user interface, but so did the developers of OpenOffice and similar suites they just borrowed from an older Microsoft UI. (By the way, Kingsoft is actually based in Hong Kong.) My apologies for the error.) A few commenters last week accused it of being a "Chinese rip-off," but last time I checked, software created in China wasn't inherently bad. (Update: Only the Pro version gives you the option of an Office 2010-style interface. Kingsoft Office looks a lot like Office 2010, and consequently I feel right at home in it. The famed freebies mostly resemble Office 2003-if not an even earlier version. They're all OK-good enough, certainly, for most users-but I'll admit I've become spoiled by Microsoft's Ribbon interface, which made its debut in Office 2007 and carried over to Office 2010. I had, however, tried all the usual freebie Microsoft Office alternatives: OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Lotus Symphony, Google Docs, and so on. Until last week, I'd never heard of Kingsoft or this product. I mention this because although the Kingsoft Professional giveaway is over, you can still get Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012 for, well, free. Since then I've been test-driving the software on an old laptop. About a week ago I featured Kingsoft Office Suite Professional 2012 in a bonus deal.

You should be able to tuck that into a small project and still come out ahead, even if you're a freelancer. I haven't bothered seeing if I can update my auto-activation plug-ins without updating but here's why if you use software like this for professional purposes then a yearly upgrade at ~$30-40 isn't bad at all. Sure, it looks a little dated (it was supposed to be the iTunes of fonts) but I don't spend very much time activating/de-activating fonts to care that much. Currently its just Browsers and XYplorer under there as the export from the old driver didnt play nice. To preface: I have subprofiles under Desktop. FontBase is a super fast, beautiful and free font manager for designers. Issue with linked applications not activating profile. Well bundle only the icons and tools you need, so you can travel light wherever you go. Pack up your very own custom version of Font Awesome, and get started easily with a Kit lickity-split. It integrates with Typekit, SkyFonts, and give me the ability to manage fonts how I choose. Issue with linked applications not activating profile. If youd rather not host your own files for your web, we do have other options to add Font Awesome assets to your projects. When FontExplorerX came out I jumped right in and have been happy ever since. There were so many issued with fonts getting corrupted, not activating, or any number of other issues. That being said, I used Suitcase Fusion for a long time, long before FontExplorerX was even available and I hated it. If you only need a handful of fonts for digital work then Apple's Font Book is probably just fine. Pretty disappointed as I've come to really rely on XD when i was o. XD won't pick up any fonts from FontBase.all other apps i use (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign) have no issue. I have lots of fonts as O do both digital and print design so my opinion is skewed a little. Recently moved from Mac to Windows - installed the latest versions of Adobe CC apps - and FontBase for font management. I asked to speak to a manager and they said they would take my number and call me within 24-48 hrs. I am happy to pay more if I could use the rest of the images over the course of the year, but he said that option is not available to me! I honestly feel scammed. I called within 10 mins of my purchase! I wanted to purchase two images for $29 but since I had already downloaded 1 image Frank the customer service agent on the phone told me I was locked into the subscription and I would have to pay $49 for 10 images and use those over 30 days which I do not need and won't be able to use in 30 days. When I called to say I made a mistake and asked for them to help me they told me I was locked into a one year deal. They told me me that I could buy one package, adjusted my purchase template and locked me into a subscription service. This company has the worst possible customer service I have ever encountered in my entire life! I started a chat with an online chat agent, my boss walked over and asked me a question and when I looked back at my screen they ended the chat. Anyone else: Shutterstock is a great service but if you have to communicate with anybody in this industry just pass on it. Not really sure what she's going through but hope she gets better. Can't believe someone with that much lack of emotional intelligence is in charge of hiring potential employees. I understand that as a recent college graduate I may not have the most impressive work experience but to later make passive comments about the answers I gave in an effort to let me know Im not fit for the position is one of the most unprofessional things I've encountered thus far. She only asked me about my first internship, and downplayed it. She didn't make eye contact with me and seemed standoffish from the start. For those of you thinking about interviewing, read this: The interviewer had come late and with bad energy. I applied for an internship and actually found that the employees, especially my interviewer, seem to all hate their job. I used Shutterstock when I was younger because my computer teacher was very into the service. Why?
