Nokia 808 PureView

Nokia 808 PureView packs a 41-megapixel camera




The Nokia 808 PureView is a new smartphone with an astounding 41-megapixel image sensor

The Nokia 808 PureView is a new smartphone with an astounding 41-megapixel image sensor

At this week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia announced the 808 PureView, a smartphone with an astounding 41-megapixel image sensor. The Nokia 808 will be the first smartphone by Nokia to include its new PureView imaging technology, which combines a high-resolution sensor with Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia-developed algorithms.

Typically you might want a high megapixel camera in order to take photos that can be printed larger - what makes the Nokia 808 PureView special, however, it what it does with those pixels. The 808 uses a new pixel oversampling technology, that captures seven pixels of information and then condenses those into one single pixel. This reportedly results in an exceptionally sharp photo, and the ability to zoom in on any portion of a 5-megapixel picture without losing clarity in the image.

The technology also works on video, so you can shoot a full HD video at 30fps and 4x zoom. Nokia has made some untouched images taken with the camera available online (as a sizable download) so you can get a feel for the quality.

In addition to offering a decent lens and large image sensor, the camera also has a few other notable features. It can capture photos quickly (in less than a second), has a Xenon flash as well as an LED video light for shooting in dark places, and offers integration with services such as GetMe Rated (for having other people rate your photos) and Vimeo, for sharing your videos with the world. Nokia claims the phone can capture audio at CD-like quality, and the handset is also the first smartphone with built-in Dolby Headphone technology, so you can listen to tunes (or your videos) in Dolby Surround sound using any set of stereo headphones.

Besides the camera and sound, the rest of the specs for the handset are actually on the low end of things. The Nokia Belle phone has a 4-inch screen with a 640 x 360 resolution, a 1.3Ghz single-core processor, and 512Mb of RAM. The handset comes with 16GB of storage space, but supports microSD expansion up to 32GB.

The Nokia 808 PureView is expected to roll out in May for around US$605.

Quad-core iPad 3

Quad-core iPad 3


If the rumors prove true, an LTE, quad-core, Retina display iPad 3 will be announced on March 7 - but it's a big if
The rumor-mill suggests the iPad 3 will has space for a larger battery, and a slightly dif...
It's been a busy week on the iPad 3 rumor mill, and things have progressed considerably since our last iPad 3 update with the iMore blog citing "reliable sources" who suggest an official iPad 3 announcement is likely on March 7. Further, the same sources indicate that the next iteration of Apple's tablet could be powered by a quad-core processor and include - as we already suspected - a Retina display. There's some suggestion that the device could feature LTE connectivity - though this latter point seems shrouded in uncertainty. Time to take the cautious stick to the iPad 3 rumor cauldron ...

The LTE speculation seems to originate from the same iMore article on Monday that broke the March 7 announcement - but seems to be a point of speculation based on the iPhone 5 likely being an LTE handset. "We're still not certain if the iPad 3 will get it earlier," wrote iMore's Rene Ritchie. The same story is firmer upon the points of a 2048 x 1536 Retina display, a quad-core Apple A6 system-on-a-chip and a March 7 announcement - all of which I interpret iMore to have derived directly from its source. The announcement date agrees with a prior prediction from All Things D that an announcement would come the first week in March.

The Wall Street Journal followed this with a story that seemed to peg an LTE iPad 3 as a near-certainty, but cited vague-sounding sources such as "people familiar with the matter" and "one of those people." Of course iMore went on to use the Wall Street Journal story as the basis of a firmer story on an LTE iPad. One has to wonder if a comical game of Chinese whispers is being played out here, with flimsy LTE rumors getting firmer by the minute through the safety blanket of repetition and diminished responsibility. Apple may not comment on speculation, but it has fun watching, no doubt.

Following a separate thread, the Wall Street Journal also revealed that, according to anonymous sources inside Apple's supply chain, Apple is working on a smaller, approximately 8-inch iPad with a similar resolution to the current 9.7-inch iPad 2. Assuming all the rumors proved true, this would lead to a three-tier iPad market consisting of iPad 3, a discount iPad 2, and a new smaller iPad with similar-sounding specs - a rather muddy, confusing and unAppley-sounding state of affairs.

Back in January, iLounge's Jeremy Horowitz's source (simply referred to as "source") suggested iPad 3 would be a little thicker, with beefed up camera specs in line with the iPhone 4 or 4S. The article seems to be the origin of subsequent iPad 3 Retina display rumors, though Horowitz says "high-def screen." In the same piece, Horowitz suggests that Apple will continue to ship the iPad 2 at the reduced price of US$399.

We'll know nothing for certain until March 7 (if the date proves correct), and in the mean time, your guess is as good as anyone's. If I were a gambling man I'd say improved cameras are a near-certainty, an HD Retina-like display very likely, a quad-core processor highly possible, and a cut-price iPad 2 eminently sensible. An LTE iPad 3 and a smaller 8-inch iPad sound rather less likely, though they're by no means impossible. Time will tell.

10 Deadly Sins of Negative Thinking

Life could be so much better for many people, if they would just spot their negative thinking habits and replace them with positive ones.

Negative thinking, in all its many-splendored forms, has a way of creeping into conversations and our thinking without our noticing them. The key to success, in my humble opinion, is learning to spot these thoughts and squash them like little bugs. Then replace them with positive ones. You’ll notice a huge difference in everything you do.

Let’s take a look at 10 common ways that negative thinking emerges — get good at spotting these patterns, and practice replacing them with positive thinking patterns. It has made all the difference in the world for me.

10 Deadly Sins of Negative Thinking

1. I will be happy once I have _____ (or once I earn X).

Problem: If you think you can’t be happy until you reach a certain point, or until you reach a certain income, or have a certain type of house or car or computer setup, you’ll never be happy. That elusive goal is always just out of reach. Once we reach those goals, we are not satisfied — we want more.

Solution: Learn to be happy with what you have, where you are, and who you are, right at this moment. Happiness doesn’t have to be some state that we want to get to eventually — it can be found right now. Learn to count your blessings, and see the positive in your situation. This might sound simplistic, but it works.
2. I wish I were as ____ as (a celebrity, friend, co-worker).

Problem: We’ll never be as pretty, as talented, as rich, as sculpted, as cool, as everyone else. There will always be someone better, if you look hard enough. Therefore, if we compare ourselves to others like this, we will always pale, and will always fail, and will always feel bad about ourselves. This is no way to be happy.

Solution: Stop comparing yourself to others, and look instead at yourself — what are your strengths, your accomplishments, your successes, however small? What do you love about yourself? Learn to love who you are, right now, not who you want to become. There is good in each of us, love in each of us, and a wonderful human spirit in every one of us.

3. Seeing others becoming successful makes me jealous and resentful.

Problem: First, this assumes that only a small number of people can be successful. In truth, many, many people can be successful — in different ways.

Solution: Learn to admire the success of others, and learn from it, and be happy for them, by empathizing with them and understanding what it must be like to be them. And then turn away from them, and look at yourself — you can be successful too, in whatever you choose to do. And even more, you already are successful. Look not at those above you in the social ladder, but those below you — there are always millions of people worse off than you, people who couldn’t even read this article or afford a computer. In that light, you are a huge success.

4. I am a miserable failure — I can’t seem to do anything right.

Problem: Everyone is a failure, if you look at it in certain ways. Everyone has failed, many times, at different things. I have certainly failed so many times I cannot count them — and I continue to fail, daily. However, looking at your failures as failures only makes you feel bad about yourself. By thinking in this way, we will have a negative self-image and never move on from here.

Solution: See your successes and ignore your failures. Look back on your life, in the last month, or year, or 5 years. And try to remember your successes. If you have trouble with this, start documenting them — keep a success journal, either in a notebook or online. Document your success each day, or each week. When you look back at what you’ve accomplished, over a year, you will be amazed. It’s an incredibly positive feeling.

5. I’m going to beat so-and-so no matter what — I’m better than him. And there’s no way I’ll help him succeed — he might beat me.

Problem: Competitiveness assumes that there is a small amount of gold to be had, and I need to get it before he does. It makes us into greedy, back-stabbing, hurtful people. We try to claw our way over people to get to success, because of our competitive feelings. For example, if a blogger wants to have more subscribers than another blogger, he may never link to or mention that other blogger. However, who is to say that my subscribers can’t also be yours? People can read and subscribe to more than one blog.

Solution: Learn to see success as something that can be shared, and learn that if we help each other out, we can each have a better chance to be successful. Two people working towards a common goal are better than two people trying to beat each other up to get to that goal. There is more than enough success to go around. Learn to think in terms of abundance rather than scarcity.

6. Dammit! Why do these bad things always happen to me?

Problem: Bad things happen to everybody. If we dwell on them, they will frustrate us and bring us down.

Solution: See bad things as a part of the ebb and flow of life. Suffering is a part of the human condition — but it passes. All pain goes away, eventually. Meanwhile, don’t let it hold you back. Don’t dwell on bad things, but look forward towards something good in your future. And learn to take the bad things in stride, and learn from them. Bad things are actually opportunities to grow and learn and get stronger, in disguise.

7. You can’t do anything right! Why can’t you be like ____ ?

Problem: This can be said to your child or your subordinate or your sibling. The problem? Comparing two people, first of all, is always a fallacy. People are different, with different ways of doing things, different strengths and weaknesses, different human characteristics. If we were all the same, we’d be robots. Second, saying negative things like this to another person never helps the situation. It might make you feel better, and more powerful, but in truth, it hurts your relationship, it will actually make you feel negative, and it will certainly make the other person feel negative and more likely to continue negative behavior. Everyone loses.

Solution: Take the mistakes or bad behavior of others as an opportunity to teach. Show them how to do something. Second, praise them for their positive behavior, and encourage their success. Last, and most important, love them for who they are, and celebrate their differences.

8. Your work sucks. It’s super lame. You are a moron and I hope you never reproduce.

Problem: I’ve actually gotten this comment before. It feels wonderful. However, let’s look at it not from the perspective of the person receiving this kind of comment but from the perspective of the person giving it. How does saying something negative like this help you? I guess it might feel good to vent if you feel like your time has been wasted. But really, how much of your time has been wasted? A few minutes? And whose fault is that? The bloggers or yours? In truth, making negative comments just keeps you in a negative mindset. It’s also not a good way to make friends.

Solution: Learn to offer constructive solutions, first of all. Instead of telling someone their blog sucks, or that a post is lame, offer some specific suggestions for improvement. Help them get better. If you are going to take the time to make a comment, make it worth your time. Second, learn to interact with people in a more positive way — it makes others feel good and it makes you feel better about yourself. And you can make some great friends this way. That’s a good thing.

9. Insulting People Back

Problem: If someone insults you or angers you in some way, insulting them back and continuing your anger only transfers their problem to you. This person was probably having a bad day (or a bad year) and took it out on you for some reason. If you reciprocate, you are now having a bad day too. His problem has become yours. Not only that, but the cycle of insults can get worse and worse until it results in violence or other negative consequences — for both of you.

Solution: Let the insults or negative comments of others slide off you like Teflon. Don’t let their problem become yours. In fact, try to understand their problem more — why would someone say something like that? What problems are they going through? Having a little empathy for someone not only makes you understand that their comment is not about you, but it can make you feel and act in a positive manner towards them — and make you feel better about yourself in the process.

10. I don’t think I can do this — I don’t have enough discipline. Maybe some other time.

Problem: If you don’t think you can do something, you probably won’t. Especially for the big stuff. Discipline has nothing to do with it — motivation and focus has everything to do with it. And if you put stuff off for “some other time”, you’ll never get it done. Negative thinking like this inhibits us from accomplishing anything.

Solution: Turn your thinking around: you can do this! You don’t need discipline. Find ways to make yourself a success at your goal. If you fail, learn from your mistakes, and try again. Instead of putting a goal off for later, start now. And focus on one goal at a time, putting all of your energy into it, and getting as much help from others as you can. You can really move mountains if you start with positive thinking.

SLR lenses on iPhone

Adapter lets you mount SLR lenses on iPhone

The iPhone SLR Mount comes in either a Nikon F-mount or Canon EF-mount version, and allows...
















There's little doubt that when it comes to snapping spur-of-the-moment photos, nothing quite matches the always-ready convenience of the smartphone. Apple's iPhone is second only in popularity to Nikon's D90 for overall image uploads to Flickr, and takes the top three spots in the Cameraphone category. There are now a whole host of apps available that can help add numerous clever effects to the photos taken with an iPhone's camera, and a growing number of hardware-based enhancements. If you find yourself yearning for a little more zoom than the Eye Scope offers, or the close-up goodness of the Fisheye and Macro/Wide Angle lensis just too small and fiddly for you, then perhaps what you need is an iPhone SLR Lens Mount.

The iPhone SLR Mount from Photojojo is essentially a phone case that acts as an adapter for either Nikon F-mount or Canon EF-mount lenses (although it's not compatible with Canon EF-S or FD lenses). Placing your Apple smartphone into the tough but lightweight aluminum casing allows you to choose from your collection of telephoto, wide-angle, macro or fish-eye SLR lenses and use it with the iPhone's camera.

It's kind of a first step towards bringing the conceptual WVIL proposal to life. Of course, autofocus is not available, the absence of a mirror means that images will appear upside down, and there's no supersonic dust reduction system so you'll have to keep the focusing screen free of dirt and dust yourself - but if you want professional-looking depth of field effects, or the ability to bring a distant object into close focus or pop on a fish-eye lens for some wide angle fun, this could be your answer.

Naturally, there are a few other limitations to consider - including a possible loss of image brightness (which can be corrected using the aperture ring on older SLR lenses or via editing software if using newer ones) - but the iPhone SLR Mount certainly looks to be a step in the right direction. The solution comes supplied with a UV filter, includes strap loopholes to allow you to hang your iPhone/SLR lens mash-up from your neck, and it features a tripod attachment.

Photojojo says that iPhoneographers can expect the iPhone SLR Mount to be available from the middle of August at a cost of US$249, for either the Canon or the Nikon flavor.

The GREY movie spoiler

I am back in my blog from 99 to 719 ranking?WTF?
BTW i love movies so i had to start my blog with a movie spoiler of some sort..
I`ve watch this movie and its a good one. Ending is what you expected, unpredictable movie i should say.
Here is the some short spoiler of it..

Northernmost Alaska. Ottway (Liam Neeson) is a for-hire security hunter/marksman under the employ of an Alaskan drilling operation. His job is to protect the "ex-cons, fugitives and assholes" from the area's indigenous carnivores: bears & wolves. In one instance Ottway spots a grey blur on the horizon. He draws the rifle from his shoulder bag, follows the blur as it nears a trio of workers working on a pipe, and fires. The wolf slumps on the ground and Ottway puts his hands on it's still breathing chest. He feels it's life slip away. Ottway daydreams of his wife (Anne Openshaw); they both lay on a bed with white sheets facing each other, smiling. He writes a letter to his estranged wife, summing up his depression. One night after his shift, in the drilling operation's tavern, Ottway grows sick of the rowdy patrons. He walks outside, pulls out his rifle and sticks the barrel in his mouth. As he is about to pull the trigger, numerous wolf calls echo in the distance. He takes the barrel out of his mouth.

Ottway and many other crewman from the drilling operation board a commuter jet bound for Anchorage, being de-iced on a runway. Ottway stores his rifle in the overhead bin, takes his seat, and closes his eyes. Another grunt, named Flannery (Joe Anderson), wakens Ottway and annoys him with questions about his sex-life. Ottway tells Flannery to either shut up or move. Flannery exits the row and finds a seat elsewhere. As Ottway sleeps the other travelers are disturbed by the turbulent flight. Flannery annoys the others by telling horror stories about airplane crash victims. The plane is rocked by massive turbulence. Ottway awakens; he sees sparks erupting from the cockpit and watches the ground grow larger in his window. He lays himself flat across his row and buckles himself in. He watches the hull tear away.

Ottway lays on the same white bed as before, and stares at his wife. They're covered by a billowy sheet. Ottway awakens in a desolate, snow-covered field, alone. He gets to his feet, surveys his surroundings, and runs in the direction of smoke. Beyond a bluff lies the wreckage of the plane. He scrambles down to the crash-site and happens upon Flannery, injured and pinned under his seat. Ottway helps him up, doing his best to distract him from his bisected seat-mate. Ottway makes his way inside the fuselage where he finds a half dozen survivors. One of them, Lewenden (James Badge Dale) is spurting blood from his abdomen. Hendrick (Dallas Roberts) comforts Lewenden, telling him that he'll pull through. Ottway takes one look at Lewenden and tells him as tactfully as he can that he will succumb to his wounds; that death will feel like a warm blanket that slowly overtakes him, and to accept it while thinking about his daughter. Lewenden slowly passes, to the shock of the survivors around him.

7 SURVIVORS

Ottway takes a headcount of the survivors: Hendrick, Diaz (Frank Grillo), Talget (Dermot Mulroney), Burke (Nonso Anozie), Flannery, Hernandez (Ben Bray), and himself. Most of the survivors prove to be willing to follow Ottway's advice, since he is a professional survivalist, but Diaz is the lone dissenter. Diaz finds the corpse of one of his superiors. He steals his watch, which he claims to have a GPS beacon, and is about to steal the man's expensive wallet before Ottway stops him. Diaz throws the wallet in Ottway's face and returns to the fuselage. Ottway walks past the rear portion of the fuselage and sees movement within. He excitedly calls for the others to come help, but is swiftly taken off his feet by a pair of grey timberwolves. He punches the two wolves, who gnaw at his arms and legs, and is saved by Talget and Hernandez who scare off the wolves. The survivors listen to the howling of the wolves that have surrounded the crash site. Ottway carries a torch to the perimeter of the fuselage and shines light on a dozens wolves that have them surrounded. One-by-one the wolves back away. Ottway theorizes that they are either in the wolves' territory or the wolves are simply passing through. He hopes for the latter, and prays that they aren't anywhere near a den. Ottway tells them that someone will need to stay up and keep watch; they will all take two hour shifts. Ottway takes guard duty first, and is soon relieved by Burke. Ottway slips into a dream of his wife, before being awaken by the dozing Burke. Hernandez has third watch and keeps himself awake by playing his son's Nintendo DS. Nature calls, so Hernandez leaves his post to pee. As he lowers his torch he is torn apart by a pair of wolves. His cries go unheard.

6 SURVIVORS


5 SURVIVORSOttway is the first to awaken and finds the remains of Hernandez strewn across the camp. This makes matters worse because the wolves killed Hernandez, but didn't eat any of him; this was a territorial kill. Ottway tells the others that they can't stay at the crash site any longer, as it provides little defense to the wolves. He points to the trees in the distance and tells them that the forest should provide ample cover from attacks. This upsets Diaz. He tells the others that Ottway has no plan, and that they ought to tough it out and wait for rescue. Ottway tells the others to make their own choice and packs his bag. He finds his rifle bag, but the rifle is broken and beyond repair; he grabs the few remaining shells and pockets them. He also finds the note he had written to his wife, and pockets it. Hendrick volunteers to go with Ottway, and Ottway tells him to gather the wallets of the dead to give to their families. Eventually all five agree to go with Ottway. At sunrise they set out toward the treeline with Flannery bringing up the rear. Flannery nurses his wounded leg and complains that the others are going too fast. A small pack of wolves appears and takes down Flannery. The others stop and run back to save him, but aren't fast enough. They take Flannery's wallet and leave his body in the snow.

The five remaining survivors reach the treeline and barely avoid being eaten by the wolves nipping at their heels. They tumble down a snowbank into the forest and hurriedly assemble a fire. They listen as dozens of wolves surround them, but don't attack. A loud shriek of pain and growling erupts from one direction. Ottway recognizes the sound of the Alpha wolf being challenged by another male, and says the Alpha won. He describes that when an Alpha is challenged, and loses, the pack will regard the victor as the new Alpha. Ottway tells them all to take long sticks, sharpen the ends, harden them in the fire and tape his rifle shells to the pointed ends of the sticks. If any wolf gets too close, stab it with the bullet-end of the stick. The bullet should discharge and give the wolf a nasty wound. Diaz is the most irritable of the bunch. He elbows Talget in the face and threatens mutiny against Ottway and throws his shock-stick away. Diaz pulls a knife on Ottway, but Ottway swiftly disarms him and knocks him to the ground. As Diaz gets to his feet he is face-to-face with a giant wolf only a few feet away, staring at him -- The Alpha. The Alpha is easily twice the size of any of the wolves they've seen so far, with jet black fur and green eyes. Ottway orders them all to stare back at the Alpha and to hold their ground. Diaz is the only one to take a few steps back. The Alpha backs away into the shadows. Diaz asks Ottway what the Alpha wanted. Ottway tells him, "to kill you"; Diaz is humbled. He begins to apologize for his actions, but is swiftly taken off his feet by a smaller, lighter wolf. The others stab the wolf with their shock-sticks and manage to kill it. The howling of the wolves around them goes silent. Ottway tells them that this is the Omega -- the banished wolf who attempted to dethrone the Alpha, and lost. He attacked Diaz out of desperation of social acceptance. While Diaz repeatedly stabs the Omega, Ottway tells the rest to "find the longest, biggest stick we can find and shove it up this thing's ass. 'Cuz we're going to cook it, and then we're going to eat it, and they're going to watch us do it." They gorge themselves on the meat of the Omega while Diaz, filled with primeval adrenaline, cuts the head off of the Omega and chucks it into the woods. This elicits a long collective howl of the wolves which surround them.

Ottway tells them that they have to move to a more defensible position. They move further into the forest with torches in hand. Burke coughs and sputters, and asks for a rest stop. Ottway find a suitable place to rest - a dead end - saying that in a dead end they can only be attacked from one direction. They set up a fire and Burke falls asleep. Talget tells the group of his daughter he had with is ex-wife, and her waist-length hair, and how she's the only thing that's keeping him alive. Diaz says his only motivation is to have sex again, as his last encounter was with a 54 year old Alaskan prostitute with numerous STDs. Ottway shares little about his past, only telling them about his childhood. He reflects on a memory he had as a boy, sitting on his father's lap. He recites a poem written by his father about embracing death. Burke violently awakens and speaks of a young girl, before drifting back to sleep. The group collectively asks who the girl is, and Hendrick answers - she was Burke's little sister who died thirty years earlier. Burke is showing signs of severe hypoxia, most notably hallucination. Thunder echoes from the distance, a bad storm is coming. The next morning Talget, Diaz, & Hendrick huddle together as the blizzard pounds them. Ottway shouts at Burke to wake up, but Burke shows no signs of life, having died in his sleep.

4 SURVIVORS


3 SURVIVORSHendrick takes Burke's wallet, while Ottway searches for civilization. Ottway comes across a freshly cut tree stump, tagged with an orange sticker. The forest has been recently lumbered. The group hears a river nearby, and they run for it. They reach the river, which sits a hundred feet below the sheer cliff-face upon which they are standing. Ottway tells them that they must follow the river, as it holds the greatest potential of civilization and rescue. They must rappel down to the river from the cliff-face, and they must do it quickly because the wolves are hot on their trail. One of them must jump off of the rocks into the trees across the river, carrying a rope behind them. The rest will cross the rope into the trees, and they will all climb down to the river. Hendrick takes the charge of jumping into the trees. After a frightening plunge, Hendrick secures the makeshift rope and orders the rest to hurry across. Diaz crosses first, and is soon followed by Ottway. Talget, who admits to being afraid of heights, follows last. As he nears the middle of the rope, Talget's glasses are swept off of his face and his bloody hand causes him to snag the makeshift rope. The rope is torn in two and Talget swings across the river and slams face-first into a tree before falling painfully to the ground below. Through his eyes Talget imagines his young daughter, with her waist-length hair towering above him; her hair dances across his face. In reality a wolf pack devours him and drags him back into the woods. Diaz frantically descends the tree in an attempt to save Talget. He leaps from a high branch and lands awkwardly on his leg, hurting his knee. Hendrick takes Talget's wallet and the three follow the river.

Diaz brings up the rear of the trio, hobbling on his good leg. He winces every time he puts pressure on his wounded knee. After a few miles Diaz stops. The other two turn back to check on him, and Diaz tells them to go on without him. His tank ran out of gas five miles ago, and he is done. Diaz reaches into his back-pocket and gives the shocked Hendrick his wallet, and passes the GPS watch to Ottway. The three, for the first time, exchange their first names: Diaz' is John, Hendrick's is Peter, and Ottway's is also John. Diaz faces back at the mountains they've climbed over, and implies that the beautiful image is meant to be the last he sees. He props himself up against a log and looks at the vista. Off-camera a growl is heard.

2 SURVIVORS

Hendrick and Ottway make their way along the river bank, trudging through 3 feet of snow. Hendrick asks Ottway the question that has been bothering him all week: Hendrick saw Ottway leave the bar with his rifle after his shift was complete, and Ottway had the same look of defeat on his face that Diaz had a few hours earlier. Hendrick asks if Ottway planned to kill himself. Before he can answer, two wolves come bursting out of the treeline, sprinting after them. Hendrick slips and falls into the icy river, and Ottway follows a minute later. Hendrick drifts down river, is pulled under by the current, and gets his legs lodged in a pile of rocks. Ottway dives down to save him, and attempts to breathe air into Hendrick's lungs, but Hendrick continues to struggle and drowns himself. Ottway shouts profanities at God, telling him to forget faith and give him a sign. Nothing comes.

1 SURVIVOR

Ottway drags himself out of the water, with Hendrick's backpack in his hand. He sheds much of his drenched outerwear and treks deep into the forest. He comes to a clearing, and feeling defeated, he drops to his knees, pulls the white bag out of Hendrick's backpack and withdraws all the wallets within. One-by-one he opens the wallets and looks at the pictures of the men and their families, before stacking them on a pile before him. He daydreams of his wife again. The two lay in the same bed with white sheets, only this time we see an I.V. dripping behind the wife. Ottway pulls out his own wallet, and stares at the picture of his deceased wife, and finally places it atop the pile. He takes the letter he had written to her, unfolds it, and places it on the stack. He hears rustling around him, and finally takes in his surroundings: dead animals carcasses, antlers, bones, all in one concentrated location. Ottway gets his sign; he is in the wolves' den. A dozen wolves surround him, and the Alpha appears before him, challenging him. Ottway recites the poem written by his father. With what little energy he has left Ottway reaches into his backpack, grabs three small bottles of booze pilfered from the plane and tapes them between his fingers. He then takes his knife and tapes it firmly into the palm of his other hand. He shatters the bottles, creating broken glass-knuckles. The Alpha growls, Ottway shouts, and the two run at one another.
