New Prometheus Movie
PROMETHEUS was the Titan god of forethought and crafty counsel who was entrusted with the task of moulding mankind out of clay. His attempts to better the lives of his creation brought him into direct conflict with Zeus. Firstly he tricked the gods out of the best portion of the sacrificial feast, acquiring the meat for the feasting of man. Then, when Zeus withheld fire, he stole it from heaven and delivered it to mortal kind hidden inside a fennel-stalk. As punishment for these rebellious acts, Zeus ordered the creation of Pandora (the first woman) as a means to deliver misfortune into the house of man, or as a way to cheat mankind of the company of the good spirits. Prometheus meanwhile, was arrested and bound to a stake on Mount Kaukasos where an eagle was set to feed upon his ever-regenerating liver (or, some say, heart). Generations later the great hero Herakles came along and released the old Titan from his torture.
PROMETHEUS (Promêtheus), is sometimes called a Titan, though in reality he did not belong to the Titans, but was only a son of the Titan Iapetus (whence he is designated by the patronymic Iapetionidês, Hes. Theog. 528; Apollon Rhod. iii. 1087), by Clymene, so that he was a brother of Atlas, Menoetius, and Epimetheus (Hes. Theog. 507). His name signifies "forethought," as that of his brother Epimetheus denotes "afterthought." Others call Prometheus a son of Themis (Aeschyl. Prom. 18), or of Uranus and Clymene, or of the Titan Eurymedon and Hera (Potter, Comment. ad Lyc. Cass. 1283; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 987). By Pandora, Hesione, or Axiothea, he is said to have been the father of Deucalion (Aesch. Prom. 560 ; Tzetz. ad Lyc. 1283; Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. ii. 1086), by Pyrrha or Clymene he begot Hellen (and according to some also Deucalion; Schol. ad Apollon. l. c.; Schol. ad Pind. Ol. ix. 68), and by Celaeno he was the father of Lycus and Chimareus (Tzetz. ad. Lyc. 132, 219), while Herodotus (iv. 45) calls his wife Asia.
The following is an outline of the legends related of him by the ancients. Once in the reign of Zeus, when gods and men were disputing with one another at Mecone (afterwards Sicyon, Schol. ad Pind. Nem. ix. 123), Prometheus, with a view to deceive Zeus and rival him in prudence, cut up a bull and divided it into two parts : he wrapped up the best parts and the intestines in the skin, and at the top he placed the stomach, which is one of the worst parts, while the second heap consisted of the bones covered with fat. When Zeus pointed out to him how badly he had made the division, Prometheus desired him to choose, but Zeus, in his anger, and seeing through the stratagem of Prometheus, chose the heap of bones covered with the fat. The father of the gods avenged himself by withholding fire from mortals, but Prometheus stole it in a hollow tube (ferula, narthêx, Aeschyl. Prom. 110). Zeus now, in order to punish men, caused Hephaestus to mould a virgin, Pandora, of earth, whom Athena adorned with all the charms calculated to entice mortals; Prometheus himself was put in chains, and fastened to a pillar, where an eagle sent by Zeus consumed in the daytime his liver, which, in every succeeding night, was restored again. Prometheus was thus exposed to perpetual torture, but Heracles killed the eagle and delivered the sufferer, with the consent of Zeus, who thus had an opportunity of allowing his son to gain immortal fame (Hes. Theog. 521, &c., Op. et Dies, 47, &c. ; Hygin. Poet. Astr. ii. 15; Apollod. ii. 5. § 11). Prometheus had cautioned his brother Epimetheus against accepting any present from Zeus, but Epimetheus, disregarding the advice, accepted Pandora, who was sent to him by Zeus, through the mediation of Hermes. Pandora then lifted the lid of the vessel in which the foresight of Prometheus had concealed all the evils which might torment mortals in life. Diseases and sufferings of every kind now issued forth, but deceitful hope alone remained behind (Hes. Op. et Dies, 83, &c.; comp. Horat. Carm. i. 3. 25, &c.). This is an outline of the legend about Prometheus, as contained in the poems of Hesiod.
Aeschylus, in his trilogy Prometheus, added various new features to it, for, according to him, Prometheus himself is an immortal god, the friend of the human race, the giver of fire, the inventor of the useful arts, an omniscient seer, an heroic sufferer, who is overcome by the superior power of Zeus, but will not bend his inflexible mind. Although he himself belonged to the Titans, he is nevertheless represented as having assisted Zeus against the Titans (Prom. 218), and he is further said to have opened the head of Zeus when the latter gave birth to Athena (Apollod. i. 3. § 6). But when Zeus succeeded to the kingdom of heaven, and wanted to extirpate the whole race of man, the place of which he proposed to give to quite a new race of beings, Prometheus prevented the execution of the scheme, and saved the human race from destruction (Prom. 228, 233). He deprived them of their knowledge of the future, and gave them hope instead (248, &c.). He further taught them the use of fire, made them acquainted with architecture, astronomy, mathematics, the art of writing, the treatment of domestic animals, navigation, medicine, the art of prophecy, working in metal, and all the other arts (252, 445, &c., 480, &c.). But, as in all these things he had acted contrary to the will of Zeus, the latter ordered Hephaestus to chain him to a rock in Scythia, which was done in the presence of Cratos and Bia, two ministers of Zeus. In Scythia he was visited by the Oceanides; Io also came to him, and he foretold her the wanderings and sufferings which were yet in store for her, as well as her final relief (703, &c.). Hermes then likewise appears, and desires him to make known a prophecy which was of great importance to Zeus, for Prometheus knew that by a certain woman Zeus would beget a son, who was to dethrone his father, and Zeus wanted to have a more accurate knowledge of this decree of fate. But Prometheus steadfastly refused to reveal the decree of fate, whereupon Zeus, by a thunderbolt, sent Prometheus, together with the rock to which he was chained, into Tartarus (Horat. Carm. ii. 18, 35). After the lapse of a long time, Prometheus returned to the upper world, to endure a fresh course of suffering, for he was now fastened to mount Caucasus, and tormented by an eagle, which every day, or every third day, devoured his liver, which was restored again in the night (Apollon. Rhod. ii. 1247, &c. iii. 853; Strab. xv. p. 688 ; Philostr. Vit. Apoll. ii. 3; Hygin. Poet. Astr. ii. 15; Aeschyl. Prom. 1015, &c.). This state of suffering was to last until some other god, of his own accord, should take his place, and descend into Tartarus for him (Prom. 1025). This came to pass when Cheiron, who had been incurably wounded by an arrow of Heracles, desired to go into Hades; and Zeus allowed him to supply the place of Prometheus (Apollod. ii. 5. § 4; comp. Cheiron). According to others, however, Zeus himself delivered Prometheus, when at length the Titan was prevailed upon to reveal to Zeus the decree of fate, that, if he should become by Thetis the either of a son, that son should deprive him of the sovereignty. (Serv. ad Virg. Eclog. vi. 42 ; Apollod. iii. 13. § 5; Hygin. Fab. 54; comp. Aeschyl. Prom. 167, &c. 376.)
There was also an account, stating that Prometheus had created men out of earth and water, at the very beginning of the human race, or after the flood of Deucalion, when Zeus is said to have ordered him and Athena to make men out of the mud, and the winds to breathe life into them (Apollod. i. 7. § 1; Ov. Met. i. 81; Etym. Mag. s. v. Promêtheus). Prometheus is said to have given to men something of all the qualities possessed by the other animals (Horat Carm. i. 16. 13). The kind of earth out of which Prometheus formed men was shown in later times near Panopeus in Phocis (Paus. x. 4. § 3), and it was at his suggestion that Deucalion, when the flood approached, built a ship, and carried into it provisions, that he and Pyrrha might be able to support themselves during the calamity (Apollod. i. 7. § 2). Prometheus, in the legend, often appears in connection with Athena, e. g., he is said to have been punished on mount Caucasus for the criminal love he entertained for her (Schol. ad Apollon. Rhod. ii. 1249) and he is further said, with her assistance, to have ascended into heaven, and there secretly to have lighted his torch at the chariot of Helios, in order to bring down the fire to man (Serv. ad Virg. Eclog. vi. 42). At Athens Prometheus had a sanctuary in the Academy, from whence a torch-race took place in honour of him (Paus. i. 30. § 2; Schol. ad Soph. Oed. Col. 55; Harpocrat. s. v. lampas).
PROMETHEUS (Promêtheus), is sometimes called a Titan, though in reality he did not belong to the Titans, but was only a son of the Titan Iapetus (whence he is designated by the patronymic Iapetionidês, Hes. Theog. 528; Apollon Rhod. iii. 1087), by Clymene, so that he was a brother of Atlas, Menoetius, and Epimetheus (Hes. Theog. 507).

Novo7 Tablet Which $99
Is $99 a magic figure, especially for a tablet computer? Several months ago, Hewlett-Packard company sold its WebOS-based tablet HP TouchPad with the price of $99 in a firesale (and it did sell like hot cakes). And now, reports say the HP TouchPad will hit the shelves again this weekend and will carry the same price tag - $99.
HP TouchPad will make a comeback in two versions: 16GB and 32 GB and will be sold for $99 and $149 respectively, starting December 11 at 6:00 p.m. Central time. The TouchPads will only be available on HP's eBay store.
And, that's not all - the Internet is also abuzz with the news that the world's first Ice Cream Sandwich-powered tablet - Novo7 - has a price tag of $99. Novo7, the result of a joint effort by MIPS Technologies and Ingenic Semiconductor, is expected to hit the U.S. market in the upcoming months.
Both HP TouchPad and Novo7 seem to be valuable tablets (read: something to get your paws upon) as they are selling for only $99. So, the $99 question is - which tablet will you buy?

The HP TouchPad, which features 9.7-inch multi-touch, 1.2GHz dual-core and WebOS operation system, makes a wonderful Christmas gift. But be warned - the TouchPads, which may go on sale this weekend, are refurbished versions with a 90-day limited warranty and HP will no accept any returns unless they arrive defective.
Novo7 has very good features too, including the latest Ice Cream Sandwich operation system that combines the best of Android OSes for the smartphone (Gingerbread) and the tablet (Honeycomb), two cameras (front- and rear-facing), 3D capability and 1080p video decoding. But If you decide to buy one, you have to wait for several months as the exact U.S. launch date is not known.
However, for the sake of convenience, we have listed some important things below that could help you make a good choice:
Tablet/Features HP TouchPad Novo7 Note
OS WebOS Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) Ice Cream Sandwich OS is obviously more popular than WebOS. Unlike ICS, WebOS may not see any updates.
Processor 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core APQ8060 processor MIPS XBurst 1GHz CPU HP TouchPad's CPU is faster. MIPS XBurst 1GHz CPU hasn't been put to acid test. So no comments.
Storage Capacity 16/32GB Unknown. The makers claim it supports exFAT storage format (over 4GB capacity) TouchPad has the advantage here.
Price $99/ $149 for 16/32GB $99 A draw
Display 9.7-inch multi-touch (capacitive) 1024x768 7-inch capacitive multi-touch screen TouchPad has the bigger display. Meaning less eye strain.
Battery Rechargeable 6000 or 6300 mAh Lithium-ion polymer battery8.5 hours for video playback 8 hours for video playback A draw. But note that TouchPad's battery powers a bigger screen and faster processor. So technically, TouchPad's battery is better.
Available Dec. 11 In the upcoming months. Basically unknown. A draw. Depends on what you want.
Camera a front-facing 1.3MP camera A front-facing 0.3MP camera and a rear-facing 2MP camera Novo7's cameras are better than TouchPad's
Others Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR with A2DP stereo Bluetooth 3D capability, 1080p video decodingGreat WiFi support (802.11 b/g/n)
Ports for USB 2.0, HDMI 1.3 and microSD
Novo7's supports 3D graphics.Novo7 is also a sheer delight for gamers and its manufacturers claim: "Using Vivant GC860 GPU graphics core, support for OpenGL ES2.0 and ES 1.0, OpenVG1.1 and operating frequency 444Mhz, games run smoother and they're more realistic."
Another thing to note is that TouchPad doesn't support 3G. However, Novo7 supports "external 3G."
Conclusion Get the TouchPad if you're a fan of HP. If you're more adventurous, wait for the Novo7. Apparently, even Google's senior vice president of mobile, Andy Rubin, has lauded the device."I'm thrilled to see the entrance of MIPS-Based Android 4.0 tablets into the market. Low-cost, high-performance tablets are a big win for mobile consumers and a strong illustration of how Android's openness drives innovation and competition for the benefit of consumers around the world." Rubin reportedly said in a statement.

Myxer Ringtones App
Myxer Ringtones (Free) is one ringtone app worth downloading. Not only can you create custom ringtones from your own music, but you can also choose from a catalog of existing ringtones. That’s why Myxer Ringtones earns a spot on our list of the best free ringtone apps.
The Myxer Ringtones app includes a good selection of ringtones in its catalog. In fact, I was impressed, especially considering that the app includes popular songs. I was able to find a variety of current hits and finally settled on Rihanna’s "S&M." The ringtones are divided into categories, including rock, pop, dance, and jazz. Myxer also includes comedic ringtones, animal sounds and other alarms and alerts.
You can also create ringtones from your own music library. The editing screen is very easy to use, and I really like that the entire song is displayed on a graphic -- this makes it easier to select the right sections. You can create ringtones up to 30 seconds (most paid ringtone apps give you 40 seconds).
The process of downloading ringtones with Myxer is a little more complicated than other ringtone apps I’ve tested like Ringtone Designer Pro or RingTunes. First, you have to enter your phone number. Then you have to navigate to a website on your computer, enter in a personalized code, and download the ringtone. THEN you have to sync with iTunes, which is a requirement for using any ringtone app. It is not a torturous process, but other ringtone apps make it a bit easier. For ringtones you create yourself from your music library, the ringtone is emailed to you and then saved to your computer.
I was able to download all of my ringtones without issues, and sound quality was just as good as any other ringtone app I’ve used. Since this is a free app, you will have put up with the occasional ads.
