Engadget's tablet buyer's guide: spring 2013 edition

Much like bears, tablet designers are coming out of hibernation: there have been a handful of noteworthy models reaching the wild after a few months of silence. Most of these are the Windows 8- and RT-based tablets that didn't quite make the cut for the holidays, and we're launching our 2013 spring tablet buyer's guide with a dedicated Windows section to accommodate a distinct and rapidly filling category. Just be careful before you commit to a purchase, wherever your allegiances lie: Mobile World Congress brought us tablets that haven't quite shipped yet, like the FonePad and Galaxy Note 8.0. (We've included a heads-up in those situations where waiting a few weeks, or months, may be wisest.) As chaotic as spring can be, our guide might just provide some kind of stability if you're shopping for your next slate.

They find their solution as to how in the form of a mortal girl with the incredible power to destroy heaven or hell. The roleplay is mostly about character growth and developing friendships and such.

Behavioral Finance Explains Bubbles

Editor's note:?Adam Nash is the chief operating officer of Wealthfront. He was formerly executive-in-residence with Greylock Partners and VP of product management at LinkedIn. Given the incredible volatility we?ve seen lately in the Bitcoin and gold markets, there has been a resurgence of discussion about bubbles. This topic is always top of mind in Silicon Valley, especially given that the two favorite local topics of conversation are technology companies and housing.

SimCity update 2.0 hits April 22, offers bug fixes, enhancements -- still no offline mode

Although SimCity has become relatively stable following its problematic launch, there are naturally still ongoing bugs that the folks at EA Maxis have been working to fix. Thankfully, that version 2.0 update that was teased just over a week ago now has an arrival date of April 22 at 4PM ET. Included in the update are 26 bug fixes, along with data map color filters, a color-correct HUD for the colorblind setting and the action of mayors traveling from their mansions to their jobs. Sadly, an offline mode is still no more than wishful thinking, but at least that OS X version should still be on track for a June 11th release. You'll find all the details about your virtual city's soon-to-arrive enhancements at the source link -- expect some server downtime, by the way, when the update itself hits.

Hawaii travelers give island dogs second chance

The crowded animal shelter on the Hawaii island of Kauai has come up with a novel way of getting some of its dogs adopted.

The Kauai Humane Society since December has been reaching out to tourists and other travelers willing to bring a dog with them as extra luggage when they fly to California and Oregon.

The shelter gets a lot of stray and abandoned dogs derived from hunting breeds that are used for hunting feral pigs on Kauai. So far, 24 dogs have been adopted through the program, which also is working with the Oregon Humane Society in Portland.

Shelter officials say the Hawaii dogs get snatched up quickly after languishing in Kauai's shelter for months because they are different from what is normally offered for adoption.

3 marathons in 1 year for Alzheimer's Society - Alzheimer's Society

'This year I'll be running 3 marathons for Alzheimer's, Belfast on the 6th of May, Edinburgh on the 26th of May, and Dublin on the 28th of October. The money raised will be split between Alzheimer's Society who look after Northern Ireland, England and Wales, and Alzheimer's Scotland.

'I was only going to do the Belfast Marathon, then my totally excellent brother called me from Edinburgh and said he was running that, I kind of jumped at the chance to run it with him, both to raise a little more for the charities and to get some quality brother time in before I head off on my travels in December.

'Then I decided to do the Dublin Marathon, because 3 is more impressive than 2, and it?s my lucky number and a magic one at that. To top it all off, my little sister Jennie is going to run the Dublin Marathon with me too.

'My grandad had dementia in his latter years, as did other close family members who have since passed, so your cause is incredibly close to mine and my family's hearts. I have wanted to do something for Alzheimer's Society for some time in memory of my 'Papa'. Raising money for a totally worthwhile cause to help the research and care for those with all different types of dementia, which affects both the elderly and young people.

'This is a charity that is close to my heart due to having seen close family members suffer from dementia in the latter years of their lives. With great sadness we watch our once completely independent friends and family members lose their memory, ability to reason and functionality, and struggle to maintain the character of the people we know and love. Alzheimer's Society helps fund research, volunteers and training so that we can care for our loved ones in the best possible way and hold on to them for as long as possible.

'Any donations are welcome, large or small to help me reach my target of ?1,500. Thank you so much for your generosity.'

If you would like to make a donation and encourage Stevie in his impressive running challenge you can donate through his Virgin Giving page.

If you'd like to run for Alzheimer's Society then visit our events page for more information. If you're interested in fundraising in your local community then call 028 9038 7774 or nifundraising@alzheimers.org.uk.?
