If this show wasn't in its last season I would probably stop watching, it was another meh episode.

What the Island Is: For a couple weeks now, I've been teasing that a four-letter word will be used to describe the island. It has an O, and no A's or E's. Your final clue is this: You'll learn that word next week! Episode number nine is Richard Alpert's (Nestor Carbonell) backstory and it is not to be missed.

What else you need to know (Spoilers ahead!):

- Someone we have not yet met will have an important message for Hurley next week.

- Fake Locke is going to tell Jin how he plans to get off the island, and it's pretty juicy!

- There is a "package" up ahead that might be the most butterfly-inducing reveal so far this season.

It seems to me, that you only care about getting answers, rather than actually enjoying the story itself.

I haven't been tuning in for 6 seasons not to get answers so yeah I expect some answers but I for one dont care about the side flash forwards, dunno the last few episodes I have not liked at all...I have been looking forward to Richards story so yeah lets hope it lives to the billing!

It was an okay episode, kinda slow paced and I could see what was going to happen before it happened...

But its all about next weeks episode, been looking forward to this since I first heard about it last year! The ABC and CTV Previews only show like 4 seconds new footage! :D

I loved last night's episode so much and here's why

The past few "Temple" episodes have been getting real stale for me. It's pretty indicative to why I didn't enjoy the first half of season 3 as well. It raised a curtain to a mystery we've been anticipating for, and once that curtain's been raised, the man behind it isn't what I was expecting at all. And the narrative behind the temple episodes could have been summed up on less than one episode.

This episode marked a migration from the temple episodes to start the momentum towards the finale. Plus I hear it's the last flash-sideways in the series.

I loved the flash sideways for a few reasons:

- You see how dynamic of an actor Josh Holloway really is

- If you recall in the season premiere, Sawyer sees kate in cuffs in the elevator, but allows her to escape from the cops. In this episode you learn Sawyer is a cop! And at the end, you see him apprehend the same person he let go, giving the appearance that they are still somehow drawn to each other

- Sawyer giving up the motivation of revenge by watching Little House

- Miles is an awesome partner

- Cameos by Charlie's brother & Charlotte

With everything going on in the sideways timeline, I'm starting to realize that this isn't the timeline if the "Incident" didn't happen at all...this is the timeline that would have existed if Jacob didn't exist at all.

And as far as the Island parts

- Locke telling Kate his mother was crazy... This is a HUGE reveal/foreshadowing in the show. The viewer can take this one of 2 ways: If the viewer believes Locke is an ancient mythological figure, they can try to do their research into who had a crazy mother. BUUUT, now this might sound crazyy....BUUUT Locke can also be referring that he himself is Aaron. They have yet to reveal Locke's real name, and this might be the reason why.

- Sayid did nothing to help Kate when Claire attacked her. Can the infection be real after all? Is the infection what killed the other people in the Hydra island?

- In the previous episode, Locke told Ben to meet him at the Hydra station. I have a feeling Locke already knows Widmore is there and told Ben to go there in order for him to get killed. Maybe he did the same for Sawyer? Can Locke AND Widmore be in cahoots and both of them are trying to con Sawyer when Sawyer thinks he's conning them?

So yeah, those are the main reasons why I enjoyed this episode so much. And I'm so stoked for the Richard episode next week.

"This Island...everything you see...isn't really what you think it is."

Goddammit. I want it to be next week already.

I don't think Locke and Widmore are in cahoots. Widmore has defenses against smokey so he knows he can't be touched. That's why Locke needed to recruit people to fight and he's given them something to fight for. They need the plane and Widmore clearly isn't gonna let anyone stroll up on Hydra and do as they please. You might be right about Ben although it could be that he was Locke's #1 choice to go over and scope out the Widmore situation since he does have a way with manipulating people.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
