„If they don't, Apex and it's followers, with a kind of Dell like perfection, will push them out of business. "It is incredible to think of a company less than 5 years old, with about 100 employees, selling over $1 billion, being second in marketshare to Sony (at least within the category of DVD players.) Apex seems to have converged at a point between the...“

„A big chunk of Apex's 2003 sales (about $1 billion) came during the run-up to Christmas -- when a kind of extreme thriftiness has come to manifest itself in virtual scrums as bargain hunters throng at low-price retailers for while-supplies-last deals. Last Christmas the Deal was often a DVD player marked down to an absurdly cheap $29, and that DVD player was often an Apex model. It is incredible to think of a company less than 5 years old, with about 100 employees, selling over $1 billion, being second in marketshare to Sony (at least within the category of DVD players.) Apex seems to have converged at a point between the globalization of manufacturing and labor, the distribution of big-box retailers in America, and this "bargain culture," by providing product cheaper than any other competitor.“http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2004/03/ apex_digital_an.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„"The Big EasyTM particle coverstock was developed to bridge the gap between reactive resin and particle balls," Pursel said. "The Big EasyTM uses 50% less particles than the Matrix TPS II and III, accentuating more of the characteristics of reactive resin, creating more length and more angle on the backend than our previous particle coverstocks," Pursel added.“http://www.asianbowling.com/may01/product.htm - Cached - Similar Pages
„ Video Frequency Response The CAV and YC outputs track each other perfectly. The frequency response is just about flat out to 3.58 MHz. It’s only down –0.28 dB at 4.18 MHz, but it does drop down to –1.30 dB at 5 MHz. I would like to see less roll-off at 5 MHz (as long as it does not add any ringing to the image). It is interesting that there is a video frequency roll-off and yet, a superb image when watching movies.“http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/.../ dvd-benchmark-meridian-800-dvd-player-10-2000.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„For example, in the "Technical Manifesto of Futurist Literature," Marinetti declares his opposition to psychology's emphasis upon human emotions and passions in favor of a "lyric obsession with matter" [l'ossessione lirica della materia]. By replacing "human psychology" with an "obsession with matter," he redefines the word "human" as an object rather than a subject, with "governing impulses, forces of compression, dilation, cohesion, and disaggregation" (M 95). Humanity, in short, is an object to be studied and scrutinized, not dramatized and sentimentalized.However, there is a contradiction at work in Marinetti's desire to remove the physical and psychological elements associated with human "imagination." On the one hand, he argues for the rejection of animalistic emotions and desires; on the other hand, he refers to the new creation, the "new man," in terms that suggest a violent, animalistic merging of machine and human body.“http://www.hauntedink.com/ghost/ch3.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„Like the first flick, Tremors: The Series is set in Perfection, Nevada (the name’s ironic, kids!), a desert hellhole plagued by all manner of tunneling monsters – Graboids, Shriekers and Assblasters, for starts – with a minimal human population of rugged individualist types, all eager to somehow profit from the creatures’ presence. Gross’ Gummer has made a small living starring in survivalist videos, while onetime hippie Nancy Sterngood (Welcome Back Kotter’s Marcia Strassman, returning to the persona that once led to her recording the Summer of Love single, “The Flower Children”) crafts and sells sculptures of the area beasties.“http://oakhaus.blogspot.com/ 2003_03_01_oakhaus_archive.html - Cached - Similar Pages
