Jamie Dupree's Washington Insider: One In, One Out in GOP Race

From Des Moines, Iowa -?

The day after the Iowa Caucus, there was still a lot of news in the streets of Des Moines, as one Republican hopeful bowed out of the race for the White House while another decided to stay in the game.

Getting out was Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota Congresswoman who just never could recapture the excitement of her first two months in the race from mid-June to mid-August, when she was able to capture the Iowa Straw Poll.

"The people of Iowa spoke with a very clear voice, and so, I have decided to stand aside," Bachmann said in a statement to reporters at a downtown Des Moines hotel.

Just as Bachmann was making her statement, I glanced up on my computer screen to write something on Twitter and saw a post by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, which indicated he isn't following Bachmann out - not yet.

"And the next leg of the marathon is the Palmetto State...Here we come South Carolina!!!" Perry tweeted, attaching a link to a photo of him on what looked like a cold weather jog, giving the thumbs up to the camera.

On Tuesday night, Perry had said he would go back to Texas and re-evaluate his bid for the White House - twelve hours later, his answer is that he is staying in, though Perry won't do much in New Hampshire as he will focus on South Carolina, which votes on January 21.

With Perry now staying in the race through South Carolina, that could put a dent in possible support for Rick Santorum, who looked like he might be able to grab support once destined for Bachmann and Perry in the Palmetto State.

Still, Perry comes out of Iowa with little excitement, while Santorum arrives in the Granite State with a big boost from his eight vote loss to Mitt Romney.

Whether Santorum can cash in on that over the next week is unclear; he will certainly be trying to expand his reach in South Carolina, always a pivotal state for the GOP nomination.

GTA 3 iPhone, Android supports PC mods

Rockstar has done a bang up job with the iOS and Android releases of Grand Theft Auto 3. Not only does it look and play great, but tinkerers have discovered it also plays nice with mods.

Click to view larger image The best part is that you don't even have to make any illicit, warranty-voiding modifications to your iOS device (but we're not sure if that's the case for Android).

At the moment most tutorials show how to replace the game's cars with real-world models, but we're sure some crazier mods will show up eventually.

If you're interested, have a look at the tutorial below.

Analysts have predicted the GTA 5 release date will be this summer.

More than 950 protesters invade Venezuelan prison (AP)

CARACAS, Venezuela ? More than 950 relatives of inmates are refusing to leave a Venezuelan prison in a protest to demand faster trial for inmates.

Prisons Minister Iris Varela says the relatives decided to "kidnap themselves" at the Yare I and II prison about 40 miles (70 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Caracas, during the New Year holiday. They include 800 women and 150 children and adolescents as well as a few men.

Varela says President Hugo Chavez has told authorities to negotiate peacefully.

State radio says Varela alleged on Tuesday that human rights groups financed by the CIA are trying to use the occupation "to destabilize the country."

Bits of Russia space probe set to fall Jan. 15 (AP)

MOSCOW ? Fragments of a failed Russian space probe are now expected to fall to Earth on Jan. 15, officials said Wednesday.

The unmanned Phobos-Ground probe was launched Nov. 9 on what was supposed to have been a 2 1/2-year mission to the Mars moon of Phobus to take soil samples and fly them back to Earth, but it became stuck in Earth's orbit and attempts to send commands that could propel it toward the Mars moon were unsuccessful.

As the probe's orbit slowly deteriorated, space officials predicted it would come crashing down between late December and late February.

A precise date was given Wednesday by a spokesman for the air and space defense troops, who said any fragments that do not burn up in the atmosphere are expected to fall to Earth on Jan. 15.

The date could still be affected by external factors and Defense Ministry troops are monitoring changes in the probe's orbit, Russian state news agencies quoted Alexei Zolotukin as saying.

The failed spacecraft weighs 13.2 metric tons (14.6 tons). Most of that weight, about 11 metric tons (12 tons), is highly toxic fuel. Experts have said that if the fuel has frozen, some could survive the plummet to Earth, but that if it is liquid it will likely combust from the heat of re-entering the atmosphere.

D-Link Powerline AV 500 4-Port gigabit Switch (DHP-540)

The D-Link Powerline AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch (DHP-540) makes it easy to bring multiple Internet-ready devices online without having to run CAT-5 cable throughout your house. This intelligent switch uses your home's electrical wiring to send and receive data over your home network, but at $199.99 (list) it is significantly more expensive than competing products that offer the same performance and give you more features.?

Features and Specs
Unlike the Netgear Universal Internet Adapter for Home Entertainment-3D (XAVB5004) kit, which includes a 4-port switch and a powerline adapter, the DHP-540 is a stand-alone 4-port powerline switch. It comes with one Ethernet cable, a power cord, and a CD with installation and user manuals, plus a utility that helps you mange the switch. If you don't already have a powerline network installed, you'll have to shell out even more money for a Powerline AV 500 adapter to connect to your router (the D-Link DHP-500AV adapter goes for $99.99 list).

With dimensions of 1.6 by 5.0 by 3.9 inches (HWD) the shiny black DHP-540 is bulkier than the Netgear XAV5004, but just slightly. It has a small D-Link logo on the front panel along with six LED status indicators. The Power LED glows solid green when the switch is powered up and blinks during setup and when cycling through the security process. The Powerline LED is solid green when the switch is connected to a network and blinks when transmitting data. A green light indicates a link rate greater than 80 Mbps, amber is between 50-80Mbps, and red means the link rate is below 50Mbps. Off to the right are four numbered LAN LEDs (one for each port) that glow green when the port is connected and blink when it is receiving or sending data.

A button on top of the switch generates a random 128-bit AES encryption key that can be used for all powerline devices installed on your network. Simply press the button for two seconds and when it stops blinking, it is secure. Pressing the security button on other powerline adapters (within two minutes of the first one) assigns the same encryption key to each device.

At the rear of the switch are four numbered Ethernet ports, with number 1 getting the highest QoS (Quality of Service) priority, then number 2, and so on. When connecting devices to the switch, use port number 1 for high bandwidth applications such as streaming video or playing graphics intensive online action games. You can't manually assign QoS priorities with the DHP540 as you can with the Netgear XAV5004, however. Also on the rear are a power switch and a two-pronged power cord jack, and there's a recessed factory reset button on the bottom of the switch.

The DHJP540's utility is very straight-forward and easy to use; the Home page menu displays all powerline available devices on the network, their link rate, and quality (HD video ready or data transmission ready, depending on the link rate). A Setup Wizard icon takes you through the basic installation steps and shows you how to enable the security feature. The Advanced icon takes you to a page with three tabs; the Device tab opens a page that displays the device name, MAC Address, and firmware version and has a button that lets you update the firmware. In the Network tab you can view each device on the network, its location (local or remote), link rate, MAC address, and password. Each powerline device has a unique password on its label that is needed to change the encryption key on remote devices. The Diagnostics tab shows detailed information, including firmware version and date and the name and OS version of any connected PCs. The Home page also contains a troubleshooting guide and a customer support link that takes you to D-Link's website.
