Review: 'Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' Oct 26, 2009
But despite its relative brevity and linearity, it's doubtful another game this season can even come close to the thrill of Nathan Drake's whirlwind adventure. Its myriad multiplayer modes help give it legs in cyberspace. (CNN -- Tech)

Its game-ography reads like the evolutionary pathway of the western RPG: from top-down to third-person, from Dd combat to real-time action, from narrative linearity to open-ended emancipation and ; dare we say it ; from PC to console, the developer has never failed to boldly take the RPG where no RPG has gone before. Its latest project is arguably its most ambitious yet: an epic space opera which spans across three games and plays like a shooter, yet remains very much a role-playing experience. (IGN PC Games)
New Porsche Boxster offers additional punch Jun 29, 2009
Even just off idle, there's an agility and liveliness that mates with sublime linearity throughout the rev range. The addictive crescendo is a tingling shriek that sees no let-up in enthusiasm. (Sydney Morning Herald -- Business)
New Z4 a thriller Jun 5, 2009
The brakes are strong and progressive and steering is accurate, though it lacks BMW's traditional feel and linearity. A switch allows the driver to alternate between settings Normal, Sport and Sport Plus for steering, transmission, engine and (optional) dampers, ranging from relatively passive to aggressive.

Wavestream's 160-watt X-band BUC provides high reliability to minimize life-cycle costs even in the most demanding applications and extreme environments. (PR Newswire)
RFMD(R) Releases Family of WCDMA/HSPA+ Power Amplifier Modules for 3G Multi-Band, Multimode Mobile Devices Feb 18, 2009
The improvement in low-power efficiency is enabled through the use of three digital power modes that adjust bias current and optimize the PA for the desired output power range while maintaining linearity. Each PA in the RF720x product family includes an integrated output power coupler, which eliminates the need for external couplers in chipsets monitoring and adjusting PA output power. (PR Newswire)
RFMD(R) Targets CDMA Components Market With Compelling New Products Feb 17, 2009
The improved low-power efficiency is made possible through the use of three digital power modes that adjust bias current and optimize the PA for the desired output power range while maintaining linearity ... The RF1126 single-pole double throw (SPDT) and RF1136 single-pole triple throw (SP3T) symmetric pHEMT switches offer industry-leading insertion loss and linearity, making them ideal for signal routing in multi-band CDMA designs implementing receive (Rx) diversity.
