France 0 - 1 China blink.giflaugh.gif

For those of you thinking France might have played their second string players.. here's the starting lineup:

France has no chance until they get rid of Domenech..

I'm seriously doubting we will make the group stage. So depressing. :(

Did a World Cup Sweepstake today at work, and I picked Germany (lucky dip). What are their chances of winning?

Outside at best.. i'll be very surprised if they get past the quarter finals..

I believe the last 4 will be.. England, Spain, Portugal and Brazil/Argentina..

Dutch are also very good but their defence is weak..

I voted England to win, more because I would like them to win than because they could do it. As for top goal scorer I honestly don't know, I don't watch football (with the exception of the World Cup) so I just went with Torres.

If England can't do it then I'd like Switzerland to win for obvious reasons, but I think their chances are slim.

Really been into soccer of all forms over the past 2 years, thanks to my roommates at college, but I am still rather clueless to MANY, MANY things. So, I come to you guys for assistance on the bracket I filled out a few days back. I don't care to win it, but at least be slightly competitive. Mainly I am asking because I am unaware of major injuries, setbacks etc.

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
