This OCM and FCM came aboard to TWC straight out of college. He also developed the Fall Foliage forecast.

Why is Greenland not green?
Because it probably was green at one time before the ice came in and took over to destroy the "global warming" theory.
Why do I eat morons like you for breakfast, and what am I referring to?

Off topic joke I heard - Apple had plans that were messed up when the FBI caught them making the new iPod Touch for kids, called "iTouch Kids."

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion
« on: January 29, 2012, 10:10:25 PM »I actually am quite surprised that TWC is still using the older STARs. Aren't they going to at least retire all the 4000s and Juniors at some point?
Though I do love the 4000 and Junior both, there comes a time that they do indeed need to retire such old equipment. I know that our 4000 crashes every time there is a severe warning that warrants an LDL, and when it doesn't crash, the radar or extended forecast does. We're at a point in time where people want the latest graphics and more, not this old (however vintage) piece of unreliable hardware. If TWC would make the next STAR as they did with the Intellistar (however using a better method) where they could add anything they needed to specific or all units via the internet, that'd be nice.
So, what is everyone's bets on the next name? I say something like Infinistar.

« on: January 29, 2012, 08:23:48 PM »Actually, I think it's the XL that has better hardware, though TWC isn't pushing the O2 to it's full capacity with what the XL does... however, the IS has pretty good hardware to go with it as well.
What hardware does the IS have? I never remembered what it had. TWC needed to do SOMETHING with the XL, considering the O2 is capable of some pretty freakin' awesome 3D graphics.

I don't know, TWC introduces a new STAR every five years or so, and the Intellistar is from 2006 (6 years ago).

« on: January 29, 2012, 11:43:17 AM »Well either way I'd be in favor of a new designed STAR whether good or bad. I'd like to see new icons as well on the new STAR.
I liked the ORIGINAL Intellistar (not XL) icons, from 2007.

I hope they'll at least be keeping the Intellistar 2. They only worked on it for 2 years now.

If they are going to do a squeezeback, DirecTV could, at the least, develop a squeezeback app.

For those who don't know - Verizon has an iPhone 4 8gb (B or W) for only $99 (with contract).
