Leaks accurate, this is what the new iPhone will look like
iMore has learned that recent parts leaks and dummy phones are accurate representations of what the new iPhone (iPhone 5,1) will look like when Apple announces it on September 12, 2012. Almost identical in design to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, the major visible differences will include a 4-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, a metallic plate across most the back, a centered FaceTime camera on the front, and a miniaturized Dock connector and relocated 3.5mm headset jack along the bottom.
Apple originally prototyped a 3.5-inch and at least one 4-inch designs for the 2012 iPhone. iLounge accurately reported on one of the 4-inch prototypes back in May. iMore also learned that Apple would decide which prototype to go with sometime in July, and on July 17, the Wall Street Journal reported Apple had begun manufacturing. On July 30, iMore learned Apple had settled on September 12, 2012 for the iPhone 5 announcement event, which has since been confirmed by Apple. iMore has also reported that September 21 will be the U.S. iPhone launch day, with the second wave of launches currently scheduled for on or around October 5.
This information comes from sources who have been reliable in the past. While nothing is confirmed until Apple shows it off on stage, based on the parts, dummies, and other reports, it seems highly probable.
There's too much to cover, so we'll sum up. On February 23, 2012, iMore learned Apple would be miniaturizing the Dock connector for the iPhone 5. On March 23, iMore learned Apple would be including LTE networking in the iPhone 5, as they had the new iPad. On May 11, iMore learned Apple would be trying to remove Google from the iPhone and iOS. On May 29, 9to5Mac posted images of the new, unibody back casing for the iPhone 5. On July 29 and July 30, many of the leaked parts that had been floating around were assembled and shown off in stills and on video.
A fully assembled iPhone 5 chassis was caught on camera on August 31, and a dummy unit, representing near-final hardware, was caught on video at IFA 2012 on September 1.
Conspiracy theories have been floated suggesting Apple is deliberately leaking false parts or a discarded prototype to create a bigger surprise come September 12. If that's the case, they're spending a lot of time, effort, and money, and doing it at an incredible scale. While Apple has over $100 billion in the bank and could do almost anything they want, they don't have any more time than anyone else, and it seems doubtful they'd waste what precious time they do have on on practical joke when there's so much for them still to do on the real product.
Just like last year when we tried to help set expectations before the iPhone 4S event, to the best of our knowledge everyone would be best served going into the September 12 event with their expectations set on the iPhone 5 you see above, and have seen leaked to date.
If anyone doesn't believe Apple would use a similar design to the 2010 iPhone 4 and the 2011 iPhone 4S, go back and look at the 2005 Project Purple prototype. Consider that Apple's current platonic ideal for how their phone should look and be built.
The iPhone design isn't fashion. Jonathan Ive has said repeatedly, it's function. It's iconic. It's a piece of industrial design rooted in Braun and Leica and Dieter Rams that could sit on any museum shelf. It's some of the best manufacturing ever seen in mobile, and it looks as good today as it did in 2005 and in 2010, and as any phone currently on the market. Apple isn't concerned with making the newest looking phone. They're concerned only with making the best phone.
Add a larger screen and a metal back, and shave off a few micro-milimeters from the existing iPhone design, and it would be hard to argue that's not just exactly what they're doing with the iPhone 5.
We'll find out for sure in one week's time.

This has got to be the worst kept secret from Apple.
I agree
Really?! It's not supposed to be a secret. It's supposed to build anticipation to a fever pitch that will get lots of news and fanboys camping outside stores so even more people will buy them. Just telling people: "It will be the same, but a little bigger" would not be very exciting. Me, I want exciting!
What I want to know is where is the face sensor located.
I suspect Apple is intentionally allowing leaks to happen this time. Since the iPhone 5 isn't a dramatic redesign other than the aspect ratio, it makes sense to get people's expectations in check before they officially reveal it. We're not reading about lawyers and C&D's this time around. And it's not a coincidence.
WHY! would they put the headphone jack on the bottom?
Tim Cook will almost certainly explain why next week. That's such a big change that it's not going to be overlooked when he starts giving us the details
The new dock connector isn't as structurally strong as the old one, and the dock adapter will likely plug into the micro Dock connector as well as the headphone jack for increased stability. The last thing Apple wants is to have micro Dock connectors breaking off inside the phone itself.
You know this how? Oh, you don't know because you have never used it.
Duh!!! Take a second to think. When you hold your phone with the headphones in, typically the cord is in your way and you have to adjust it. If its at the bottom, it's never hanging in front of the screen. This is how the jack is on my Nexus, and it's actually great to be there. Also, why does it matter? You can't be that lazy that you don't want to relearn where to hook up your headphones?!
Always hated the cord getting in the way when typing.
When I mount the phone on a dock, it would be nice to have access to that headphone port, if I should need it.
If you are right handed like I am, you often rest the phone with the lower left corner in the meat of your palm, and operate the phone with your right hand. The new position of the headphone jack looks like it will get in the way of that.
The iPod Touch has always had the headphone jack on the bottom, which has never been a problem for me but to put it on the bottom for the iPhone after it always being on the top does have me kinda puzzled, unless the room was needed at the top for sometihing else I don't see why it was moved. The other thing I'm kinda puzzled with is the design choice, Why was the body style kept the same? I was hoping for something a little thinner or something to set it apart from the previous generations it pretty much going to be the 4/4s just with a longer screen and a metal plate on the back. :-( smh I'm really hoping this phone will have some feature that's exclusive to the new iPhone or I don't know what to do. Is it me or does it seem that a lot of the creativity went out the world with Steve Jobs passing away?
The iPhone is still the best looking phone out still even after two versions. iPhone 5 only improves on that by having a bigger screen thinner profile, faster processor, and and faster wireless radio and an improved OS It's excatly what you wanted you just don't realize it yet.
Actually this is the phone that Steven was working on until he passed.
Think about the way you take your phone out of your pocket, you always take out your phone with the bottom coming out first, now, imagine the headphones are plugged in a 4S, with the jack at the top, this means that you either have to deal with the cable being shortened by starting at the bottom of your pocket, or put your phone in your pocket with the top of your phone pointing upwards. By doing the later, you have to turn your phone the right way up every time, whereas with the jack on the bottom, you will simply be able to take your phone out normally and not have to rotate the phone in any way.
They have been doing this on iPod touches and iPods for years now. And to be honest with you it kinda makes sense to do this as your headphone cord will not be in the way of the screen. Don't matter to me as I use stereo bluetooth headsets.
Here is why I think the jack is on the bottom. When you put the phone into your pocket while the headphones are plugged in, you want the headphone jack pointing up. That way, there is no stress on the cord and connection. So, the phone will be upside down in your pocket. Now, if you reach into your pocket and grab the phone and bring it up to your face, it will automatically be right side up when you look at it. Try it out. The phone naturally wants to sit upside down in your pocket. So, it makes sense to put the jack on the bottom.
much like on the iPod Touch, it is to keep the headphones/ear buds out of the way when you are holding it. Rather than having the cord flopping around from the top (and then falling behind the iPhone or fumbling with it in front of the screen when you pull it out of your pocket), it will instead hang straight down from the bottom. This is one of the things I miss from when I owned an iPod Touch (i had one before I got my iPhone 3G many moons ago, lol). I am all for a headphone jack on the bottom of the phone, possibly leaves more room up top for larger camera sensors.
Because you put your phone in your pocket upside down. Because you don't want the cord dangling in the screen. Because when you have it on your dock, you're most likely playing music out loud, and if you're not, just plug in with the USB.
Because the new smaller dock connector is only digital so they need the 3.5" jack to connect to the adaptor so people's docks and music systems still work.
Exactly what I was thinking! I can't *stand it* when manufacturers put the headphone jack at the bottom. That's not how we use the phones!
I fail to see how "that's not how we use the phones". The iPod Touches have always had it at the bottom, and if you'll read the comments above yours, you'll see that it makes perfect sense. Maybe you put your phone in your pocket with the top sticking up, so that when you pull it out you have to flip it around, but I sure don't. This makes way, way, way more sense then having it out of the top.
It's like the iPod.. i think it's a better place ... if you put your new iphone in your pocket the headphone jack shall be most of the time on top - much easier i suppose :) www.iDevizes.com

That paragraph just about sums it up for all the whiners who want a new radical design just for design's sake.
Totally agree.
Everything you have just said is marketing speak - please wash your mouth out.
Why is good design suddenly a bad thing? "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." —Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Truth.
I think it'll be different from the 4/4S in the same way the ipad 2 was from ipad one. Thinner. And for a hand held device, that thinness will be a striking difference. For a screen already best in class (ppi), it'll still retain that title. In-cell technology will eliminate a sheet of glass which should make for an even clearer, sharper screen and a more responsive one. I'd expect LTE, updated processor, upgraded camera, double the RAM, and wireless charging. Anything else would be a bonus for me. The only real concern is how apps will be handled that may not be updated for weeks.
Actually HTC Rezound holds the reign of highest ppi @ 345 on a 4.3' display. It's quite beautiful & a mystery why HTC neglected to market it focusing on Beats Audio instead.
BB10 356 ppi on the full touch
Is that a real device? Can it be bought now? No? Moving on.
It's on the dev alpha devices that have been issued to developers
Oh so it will never see the light of day...because RIM will be dead by then.
Yeah I'm trying to figure out what bringing a dev device, that consumers can't & won't be able to get, from an as yet non existent operating system had to do with this. *scratches head* Oh well, moving on.
People need to get off the rim will die so no one will see bb10 bandwagon, it will be released and its success/failure on release will either be positive or negative on rim.
The thought behind bringing up the dev alpha and bb10 is that it will have a higher pixel density than most other smartphones like the dev alpha already. I do think that the new iphone 5 will have a upgraded screen res to accomodate the new iphone, it would be really stupid if it doesn't and would drop the ppi. I still don't see the sense in making it longer and not wider at the same time its just going to be a slightly thinner longer iphone 4/s. It will be top heavy when typing in portrait and if you switch to the side there's just no roomon the screen to see much. The sgsiii, note (2), and xperia v (supposedly waterproof) look like better alternatives for a current smartphone in that size based on the looks of it. I'd rather wait for the actual release and see how it feels in the hand but just by the looks it doesn't seem that great.
Don't forget the incredible panel on the One X. Not the highest density, but it's easily one, if not the, best mobile phone display.
Agreed. HTC has been on a roll with some damn fine displays since late last yr. Yet strangely it's been Beats Beats Beats & more Beats from their marketing.
Not a fan of the phone...BUT WOW WHAT A DISPLAY. HTC X 0ne has the best mobile screen I have ever seen!
I think we are quite far to know how the next iphone ( iphone 5) will look like ! and if it happens to be the next iphone then apple has fail, cuz i can't think of a larger iphone but not wider?
I agree taller but not wider???
I am going to laugh SOO hard when its something completely unexpected..just like when everyone thought the 5 turned out to be the 4S
Laugh all you want. The mostly trusted iMore (tipb at the time) predicted rightfully weeks before 4S announcement that there wouldn't be an iPhone 5 last year ;)
I hope you're wrong. If not, I'll simply upgrade from a 4 to a 4s.
Everyone? Who thought they'd get an iPhone 5 last year? I can already tell you, you're not going to get an iPhone 6 next year. You'll get an upgraded iPhone 5. A 5s, perhaps? Apple has been releasing their phones in 2 year cycles since the dawn of the iPhone 3G.
You have been calling these rumors for a few months Rene so nice work. This iPhone I'll have to put in my hand & get a feel for. I could never use a 3.5" screen after getting adjusted to 4"+ for the last several yrs. Keep the info coming. The Verge & other sites are still playing catch up.
I don't think the iPhone needs to change, it can focus on streamlining the experience. I am a relatively new convert, as my name would suggest. But my iPhone though more boring than previous devices, looks solid, works like a charm ( more than can say for my past devices) I don't want useless widgets ( my agenda shows up well in my notifications menu, along with my reminders) I don't want to see the hour twice on the same page, I just want a perfect system that works flawlessly, or close to it in a device that is manageable, easily accesible quality app in no more than 4 inches in my opinion. Anything bigger, well I bought a new iPad for that. Don't even get me started on how much I love the thing.
This information, if true, solidifies my decision to purchase the new iPhone.
Am I the only one who's disappointed ?!
Don't get me wrong , I've been looking forward to iPhone 5 since last year but I was hoping for a " WOW HOLY SHlT , IPHONE 5" design , not a stretched iPhone 4/4s :-(
I'm right there with you. And next year will be the "s" version of the iPhone 5 so we are looking at another 2 years before we could potentially get something jaw-dropping.
That means one year, not two.
He said if they come up with 5s next year we would have to wait two years for a real revamped phone , iPhone 6 , 2014 ;)
If this turns out to be the new iPhone then I will join you cause I was hoping for a redesign not basically a stretched out iPhone 4/4s with a metal slab on the back but at the end of the day I probably will just settle and go for the 5 :-(
Last year I broke down and got caught up in the Siri hype and got the 4S. This year it's different. iOS 6 will run just fine on my 4S , so Apple has to come up with something very unique inside the iPhone 5 to really get me convinced. Plus this year really really curious about the Nokia 920 ( being announced tomorrow ) and I will have to make a pros & cons list of both phones to finalize my decision. I really hope Apple blows us away next week and gives us that same feeling when we saw the very first iPhone !
Beshad, Have you tried an Android device yet? Sorry if this is taboo for speaking about this on an iPhone forum. I've been an iPhone user since the original all the way up the 4S. I recently sold my 4s in preparation for the iPhone 5. I had about one month interim to try other devices. I went with the Galaxy S3. What an awesome device. A fresh UI, widgets, the notification system, and "the back button." I appreciated the larger screen of the S3. I decided why not try something even larger....so I went with the Galaxy Note. And I love it! The size is awesome. It maybe hard to use in one hand but browsing the web, internet, etc. on the larger screen is like having a small ipad or I should say galaxy tab in your pocket. I will note that there is a slight slight delay in the touch screen when compared to Apple's devices. Android supposedly fixed that in Jelly Bean. I'm also excited to hear what Nokia and Microsoft have planned. Sometimes you just want something different. It's like eating a good piece of steak......it's great...I love it....but sometimes you just want something else ;)
Yes I like the Galaxy S3 and was really close to get one but the Nokia/MS Win8Mobile tease along with iPhone 5 hype prevented me from pulling the trigger.
Apple needs to break out of their icon mold and come up with something fresh like Galaxy.
Tomorrow is the day that will bring me one step closer to my final decision :)
Thanks for the info my friend !
I will most likely go with the 5 too i don't really like the news, but i still have to see the phone in person, but one of the main reasons i choose Apple over other manufacturers is because of their excellent customer service and the quality materials they use. really love my iPhone 4s just feels so right in hand after GS2 and Gnex. so yeah I will go with the iPhone 5.....
Agree, I gave my wife my iPhone4, and I got myself a Verizon Galaxy S3
Once I saw all the stories about the screen only going from 3.5 to 4 inches.
I said the heck with it. I'm loving my S3 but I will keep a close eye
on the iPhone5 for sure. Those darn apple products. They tend to grow on you.
Why did they choose to increase the length of the screen and not the width,I'm sure the wider screen would mean more room inside the slab to add more things like a bigger battery maybe or even nfc
Simple , cause Jobs isn't around anymore to smack them around and tell them " WTH you thinking , that's unacceptable , fix it now "
nfc has no use at all and the 4S already has it.
You're too drunk from the Koolaid ! iPhone 4S has NFC ?!
Even 5 doesn't seem to have it based on recent rumors.
Do you even know what NFC is ?!
While not as useful right now , it's part of the future of our cash handling ;)
Looooooooool no, sorry you have been reading the ......no I'll not be rude
No the iphone 4s does not have NFC and apparently it does not exist on the iphone (5,1) according to the article written by Rene. Also NFC (near field communication)is not just for mobile payments its also for close / Contact transfer of data like files, pictures, music simply by tapping 2 NFC enabled devices together.
That longer screen looks ridiculous, it needs to be wider to make that work. I don't even use it in landscape, unless I watch a quick video. Shame on them if that's the next revolutionary model. Note 2 here I come baby
OMG Fail. WP8 it is then.
If this iPhone 4 rehash is the iPhone 5, I'm disappointed. Cook definitely has no mojo. You can count on the iPhone 5S to be as much of a disappointment, accept it will at least finally have a quad core processor with LTE, whereas I predict this iPhone 5 will only have dual core clocked perhaps a bit higher than the 4S. YAWN. Hail to the ex Chief.
This is extremely stupid looking
Can we start speculating on the 2014 release of IPHONE SIX ? :-) lol
Does anybody think they will make it in that awesome maroon color?? Thats the one thing i have been seeing but not hearing about lately. I want that maroon!!
Sorry Renee I still say this will NOT be the new phone design. And I am sticking to what I said when this prototype came out. If by some chance I am wrong I will admit it.
I would hope you'd admit it if they show the iPhone 5 next week and it looks like the pic above. Only a fool would say " no that's not it" AFTER the announcement lol
This is what I have been saying. ;)
Props to Rene and everyone at iMore for nailing down so many early details about the next generation iPhone! Even though nothing is set until announces reveals the new iphone, every thing iMore has been reporting is looking pretty spot on :)
Nerds have always been happy with an extra half-inch... The design was great on the iPhone 4 and then 1.5 years later on the iPhone 4S. Now it's been 2.5 years and what do we get... half an inch. I'm not sure if it will be the Samsung Note 2 or the S3, but if this is the iPhone 5, I'll be leaving a rotting Apple behind.
This phone leaked out more than all the other iPhones combined!
This phone leaked out more than Clint Eastwood's Depends !! lol
If this is what the new iPhone will look like then I don't really care any more about the look of the next phone. I stand corrected if Apple has an ideal structure and look of what their phone should look like and I rather get iPhone 4s. If that is the new iPhone 5 I think it looks unattractive. Although with their billions, they would have gotten an idea that the majority of people wanting something attractive would then deny Apple and would risk investments. I do then think that there is now a bigger possibility that Apple actually has a surprise for us all. The new iPhone 5 should now look much more attractive. If not, then Apple, please make the new iPhone like the 4s but with better hardware...
I didn't know a writer could pat himself on the back that many times in one blog post. Congrats on that...I guess... As for the phone, it's hideous. That long skinny 16:9 aspect ratio is awful. I suggest people look at the HTC Incredible which was available on Verizon. It looked dorky as hell too. And I don't think it sold all that will, either. That iPhone 5 depiction in the photo is the dorkiest looking phone in the lineup, bar none. Nearly every non-Apple tech blog online in the last several days reported on the study that indicated the masses want large screen smart phones. Globally, all brands and all models, they sell in the tens of million, if no hundreds of millions. That's why Android now has the global market lead in smart phones. And this pathetic looking thing is Apple's answer? They are already losing ground in a few foreign markets, and have come to near stand still status in others. This won't help. I was unimpressed with the 4S update, so I kept my iPhone 4. I don't see this making me want to hurry for an upgrade either. Sad. I have one week to hope all this is proves to be wrong information.
I agree with you. I also think the iphone 4s looks cute now. I mean it's not fair. If this is truly Apples "iPhone 5" then I am just upset about the whole thing. They should be fined for not meeting consumer's demands and only caring about themselves. Like they play this God complex like: Well if we make it they are gonna buy it anyway." They don't consider what people want only what people should "by cojones" buy.
If you are concerned how the phone looks and not how it enhances your life, then by all means, move along. The same things were being said about the first leaks of the 4 form factor and now it is widely considered as the most distinctive look in the smart phone industry. Only Nokia has stepped up their game in terms of distinctive and unique designs. Apple made a design decision to go with the 16:9 form factor so not to tear apart the existing software ecosystem. Apps will continue to run without issue with some needing to be modified to specifically take advantage of the new screen real estate. I for one have always said a larger screen wasn't the most important factor in choosing a smartphone. If it was, I would have kept the Samsung Focus I had as a second phone. The new design will take some getting used to, but you can be assured of one thing, it will be of the highest quality and will continue to be an iconic look that defines iPhone.
"The new design will take some getting used to" Are you crazy? Thats kool aid talk, although unintended I hope. You should not as a consumer ever have to say that, you're paying for the product they better damn well offer good quality products and they should meet your needs not the other way around. But if you don't likethe design of the new one you can keep your iphone 4/s and upgrade to ios6
This is Tim Cook doubling down on secrecy? Now we know he can't be trusted.
I think what Apple is doing here makes sense. People and their attention spans have to get a grip. It wasn't too long ago that people kept phones for multiple years. Hell, it wasn't TOO long ago that cell phones didn't exist. Why would Apple make drastic, wholesale changes to a form factor that obviously works? Same thing with iOS: why go away from the familiarity and ease of use that has garnered them millions of users, from toddlers to seniors? You SAY you want these jaw-dropping designs, but whenever any of those mockups are posted with some genuinely innovative ideas, the forums go crazy with hate, insults, and cartoon-like death threats. I thought an increase in size in both directions was the logical choice, but evidently Apple believes that, for how their users utilize their phones, stretching the screen a bit was the best option. Anyone wanna bet against it selling in the tens of millions in the first quarter alone? Didn't think so. I look at the 4S... it is a phone superior to the iPhone 4 in just about every way. So why the bitching? Simple, it doesn't look different. And this one won't look different ENOUGH. Some of these superficial customers (millions of you) are less concerned with having the best device possible, and instead want a device that, upon first glance, can easily be identified as being the newest out - which, in turn, makes the owner "cool" I guess. And that's fine. I'm just glad Apple isn't catering to that segment. Will the new iPhone (I still say that's the naming scheme they should go with, although I understand there are more models of the phone out in use than there were iPads - less confusion) be the best smartphone available? That remains to be seen. Will it be the best iPhone to date? Without question.
Well put
4 inches? Really? Sorry that is not acceptable. They won't lose a lot of fans but they will lose some that's for sure. I know a lot of people that are waiting for a larger screen I think 4 inches would have been the sweet spot a year ago for them.
That's what she said lol
I guess I'm going back to my Motorola Razr.
That phone is an ugly tall boy.
You got these "it's what's on the inside" people talking again. That's not what it's ALL about. If these are what it will look like, then it seems apple already changed it enough to where ALL my cases for the 4S won't fit. All that money wasted for half an inch. Why when they could of made it wider and taller at 4.3"-4.5"?? I'd have to get new cases anyways might as well make it worth the while! If it's only on the inside that counts then why the hell even change the damn shape and size at all?!? It's stupid. And frankly, i think these pics are WRONG and trust me I WILL admit if I am wrong next week, right after I buy a Samsung :D
I think this is all to stir the pot up, OR Rene really thinks he "figured it out" (awesome...)
Think about it, there are MULTIPLE prototypes out there right now, and if you go to www.iphone-developers.com and scroll down a day or two ago there is a video of a WORKING iPhone 5 prototype with serial number XXXXXXXXX on the back and it has a black matte finish and it's not two tone. They can make ANYTHING in china it's easy for them, u can actually buy an "iPhone 5" dummy there for €6. SO- WE WILL FIND OUT NEXT WEEK ....plz Tim, if u can hear this, make us say WOW again ...not "cool..."
You're complaining about your 4s cases not fitting the new design and a couple of sentences later you mention buying a Samsung? Interesting.
I'm saying IF APPLE is gonna change the design, might as well make it worth while! I was figuratively speaking I didn't mean I was literally upset my cases won't fit the next iPhone , I'm saying I'm gonna have to buy new cases regardless because I am getting a new phone no matter what, so I might as well get an S3 or HTC one X instead of a small .5" increase in screen size.
Im sorry, but you my friend.....are a moron.
Dammit the thing that really gets me pissed off is not that they got lazy and made this half assed design but the fact is........ Im going to start developing mid/late next year and i HAVE to buy one.
If this is truly the iphone 5 design they do not deserve my money..... but will get it anyway because of the career choice ive chosen..... What a load of dog sh!t
You can always Develop for BB10 if you don't want to develop for iOS ;) ...BB10
Windows 8
Its a pity that apple has failed to innovate yet another year, so much so, apple fans have to be debating among themselvses about the placement of the 3.5mm jack. This is very disappointing. I find that a company that cannot inspire a new look, a radical shift, a move forward in design asthetics doesnt deserve my money. Its very pleasing to see samsung atleast attempt to give users something new with every generation of their phones. Hell even RIMs bold line come with something better every generation. And no the iphone isnt perfection, it is iconic, but in its third year with barely any change.... Its rather boring. Some reason i cannot reply to a naive isheep up top...but Apple has not "retain the title" in regards to ppi. A quick wiki search will show you how painfully confortable they have become. I see you were corrected tho.. The HTC rezound holds the title... And thats if you disregard the BlackBerry Dev Alpha at an astounding 356 ppi.
"I find that a company that cannot inspire a new look, a radical shift, a move forward in design asthetics doesnt deserve my money." They did that...when they released the original iPhone. When you design something that well the first time, what you don't do is throw it out wholesale every few years just because. You continue to refine it, making adjustments here and there to continue to move it forward.
Cant wait for iPhone 5!
So is "the second wave of launches currently scheduled for on or around October 5." referring to the UK & Europe release date?
Dude I can hardly wait! This is gonna be good! Wow. www.Anon-IP.tk
Still not convinced. There is a cottage industry devoted to perpetuating false rumors. If this is the design, Im shocked and disappointed. Shocked that Apple security could have fallen this far this fast and disappointed if that is the design. I wasn't hoping for a radical redesign, but that screen is not what I was looking for. The 3.5 inch screen is too narrow and Apple didn't address it. Just making it longer? Fail if its real, which I dont think it is.
Nothing personal but I find your very first line of description not only wrong but kind of offensively so. You say "Almost identical in design to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S" when I think you actually mean "similar in outside appearance." The new iPhone design is very, very, *different* in many ways from the iPhone 4 and 4s while it retains a visual similarity to the previous design. The chassis is a completely different "unibody"design using carved steel whereas the old design has simply a steel band around the middle. The old design is a sandwich arrangement of glass panels whereas the new one is a metal container of sorts with all the parts screwed to the inside surface. What something looks like is not the same as it's design. Design is about how something is made, not just superficial appearance. I just find it really, really, RUDE and annoying that you actually refer to this as "identical in design." It's not true at all.
Its the exact same look, exact same appearance outside, the build is different.
It's half true. There's visual design and industrial design, and the visual design is the same.
I think it looks perfect and I cannot wait to own one. I have no problem handing over, what I'm speculating to be, $750 for a 32GB version. I don't think Jobs would construct something that people would be disappointed with...
Apple doesn't need to keep their hardware designs secret any more. Not after the Samsung ruling. Lulz.
OR, the entire episode of rumors and speculation is a disinformation campaign in fact created by Apple to mislead us into expecting less when they are going to actually deliver an iPhone 5 that says "WOW". I just can't believe the actual design would leak out and parts would suddenly appear and Apple wouldn't deploy legal and security with website take down demands. It's just a marketing ploy. A trick. It HAS to be. I'm not spending a single penny on a phone that pretty much looks the same as my iPhone 4S. I'll take the iOS 6 upgrade and not miss anything if these rumors turn out to be true.
Wait a second. I'm an iPhone owner but this is it? And yet investors punish Nokia for their phone, which in my eyes (as of now) is definitely a wow in comparison. Wireless charging, NFC, image stabilization, night photos, 4.5 screen, higher PPI, same kernel across multiple platforms, etc, etc. If this is all Apple has then I'm sorry, but I'm glad my contract ends this year. I'm a gadget freak and I'm actually excited to play with one of these bad boys (nokia 920). I hope I'm wrong and that the rumors are just that, rumors. If not then I'm just going to have to thrown in the towel on iPhone. :(
yeah, nokia has "image stabilization"
Check the pictures here: iPhone 5 will be more like a phone and that is a good thing.

Painting Contractors can increase the value of your home by $1,164
Painting your home's facade and insides constantly adds value, regardless if you're improving your home's look and feel for many years to come or adding curb appeal to sell it. San Diego painting contractors definitely know what a homeowner wants and they are available to provide the services of painting your home. Painting a house may look like an easy task. Some may even think that with just a brush and a bucket of paint, they can go around doing the job. However, there are several factors that need to be considered before you decide against hiring a professional painting contractor. A good wall or ceiling painting is something that can be seen at first glance. Professional painting contractors in San Diego have years of experience applying paint coats evenly on walls without the bumps and bubbles. The type of paint is important too since a wall's material and built may require a specific paint only. Most homeowners do not know this and end up applying the wrong kind of paint and ruining their wall's features.
Fair price breakdown
Painting contractors in San Diego can possibly charge a flat job fee for exterior spots like siding, garages, decks or sheds. In any other case, they commonly charge on an hourly basis. A painter's total quote will be based upon the number of hours they presume may be needed to finish the project, in addition to a few varying aspects, that include location, type of job (interior versus exterior), painter's experience, and the season. For a 250 square feet wall, the basic estimate of labor costs that includes preparation of the wall, planning, equipment, material, area preparation, setup, and cleanup would amount from $1,267 up to $1,267 for 4 hours.
Estimated final cost for painting contractors
|Fair Price
|Home Exterior Labor
|36.4 Hours
|Home Exterior Job Materials and Supplies
|1600 Square Feet
|Totals - Cost to Paint House Exteriors - 1709 Square Feet
|Average Cost Per Square Foot
Find the Best Costs on Painting Contractors - San Diego, 92101
It is highly advisable for homeowners to start small when it comes to budgeting the cost of the painting project. Remove things that may add difficulty to the task and may cause extra fees. Try to do the wall preparation like cleaning it or scraping it yourself. It would lessen the labor cost of a professional San Diego painting contractor if they will not have to do the preparation.

My father was an English-German interpreter in prisoner-of-war camps during World War II, and two of the questions I most regret not asking him were, "How did you celebrate the end of the war? And how did the prisoners?" Historian David Stafford tells how some Americans reacted to the German surrender in his Endgame, 1945: The Missing Final Chapter of World War II (Little, Brown, 2007), an account of the final days of the war and its immediate aftermath. He notes that New Yorkers started celebrating the day before Victory in Europe Day, May 8, 1945, because news of the surrender leaked before the official announcement:
"Office workers deluged the streets with tons of ticker tape, scrap paper, old telephone books, playing cards and anything else they could find. They were joined by the garment trade, whose workers threw not paper but bales and bolts of cloth of all kinds into the streets. The New York Times reported that 'every possible remnant in every possible shade and hue turned and squirmed in the thin morning sunlight' until Broadway was ten inches deep in fabric.' Boats on the East River sounded their whistles while on land the cabbies honked madly."

Judge: Va. same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional
NORFOLK – In a federal court ruling echoing decisions reached elsewhere in the U.S., Virginia on Thursday became the first state in the South to overturn a voter-approved prohibition of same-sex marriage.
U.S. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen issued a stay of her order while it is appealed, meaning that gay couples in Virginia still will not be able to marry until the case is ultimately resolved. Both sides believe the case won't be settled until the Supreme Court decides to hear it or one like it.
Allen's decision makes Virginia the second state in the South to issue a ruling recognizing the legality of gay marriages.
A judge in Kentucky ruled Wednesday that the state must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. But that judge did not rule on the constitutionality of same-sex marriages inside the state. Decisions similar to that of the Virginia judge have been issued in in Utah and Oklahoma federal courts.
The office of newly elected Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring took the unusual step of not defending the law because it believes the ban violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. In her ruling, Wright Allen agreed.
"The court is compelled to conclude that Virginia's Marriage Laws unconstitutionally deny Virginia's gay and lesbian citizens the fundamental freedom to choose to marry. Government interests in perpetuating traditions, shielding state matters from federal interference, and favoring one model of parenting over others must yield to this country's cherished protections that ensure the exercise of the private choices of the individual citizen regarding love and family," Wright Allen wrote.
The plaintiffs' lead co-counsel, Theodore B. Olson, said in a statement: "Through its decision today, the court has upheld the principles of equality upon which this nation was founded."
Wright Allen's stay was requested by the Virginia Attorney General's Office to avoid a situation similar to what happened in Utah after that state's ban on gay marriages was declared unconstitutional.
More than 1,000 gay and lesbian couples were married in the days after the ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court granted the state an emergency stay, halting the weddings and creating a cloud of uncertainty for the status of the married couples. Soon after, a federal judge also declared Oklahoma's ban unconstitutional. That ruling also is on hold while it is appealed.
"The legal process will continue to play out in the months to come, but this decision shows that Virginia, like America, is coming to a better place in recognizing that every Virginian deserves to be treated equally and fairly," Herring, a Democrat, said in a statement.
Supporters of the state ban on same-sex marriages issued statements decrying Wright Allen's ruling.
"It appears that we have yet another example of an arrogant judge substituting her personal preferences for the judgment of the General Assembly and 57 percent of Virginia voters," said Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council. "Our nation's judicial system has been infected by activist judges, which threaten the stability of our nation and the rule of law."
Brian Brown, President of the National Organization for Marriage, called the ruling "another example of an Obama-appointed judge twisting the constitution and the rule of law to impose her own views of marriage in defiance of the people of Virginia."
"There is no right to same-sex 'marriage' in the United States constitution," Brown said. "In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has said that states have the pre-eminent duty of defining marriage. The people of Virginia did just that in voting overwhelmingly to affirm marriage as the union of one man and woman. That decision should be respected by federal judges and we hope that the U.S. Supreme Court ends up reversing this terrible decision."
In a movement that began with Massachusetts in 2004, 17 states and the District of Columbia now allow gay marriage, most of them clustered in the Northeast. None of them is in the old Confederacy.
The Virginia case centered on a gay Norfolk couple, Timothy Bostic and Tony London, who were denied a marriage license by the Norfolk Circuit Court on July 1, shortly after the Supreme Court struck down parts of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Since then, a Chesterfield County couple, Carol Schall and Mary Townley, have joined the case. The couple married in California in 2008. They have a teenage daughter and want Virginia to recognize their marriage.
In her ruling, Wright Allen said the lesbian couple "suffer humiliation and discriminatory treatment on the basis of their sexual orientation."
"This stigmatic harm flows directly from current state law."
Opponents of the Virginia ban say the issue resonates in Virginia in particular because of a landmark 1967 U.S. Supreme Court decision involving a Virginia couple and interracial marriage.
Mildred and Richard Loving were married in Washington, D.C., and lived in Virginia when police raided their home in 1958 and charged them with violating the state's Racial Integrity law. They were convicted but prevailed before the Supreme Court.
During verbal arguments in the gay marriage case, Virginia Solicitor General Stuart Raphael said that ban is legally indistinguishable from the one on interracial marriage. He said the arguments used to defend the ban now are the same ones used back then, including that marriage between two people of the same sex has never been historically allowed. Wright Allen concurred with that assessment in her ruling.
"Tradition is revered in the Commonwealth, and often rightly so. However, tradition alone cannot justify denying same-sex couples the right to marry any more than it could justify Virginia's ban on interracial marriage," she wrote.
Raphael also said supporters have failed to prove how allowing gay marriage would make heterosexual couples less likely to marry.
In defending the law, the attorney for the Norfolk clerk said the issue is best left for the General Assembly and the voters to decide.
Nationwide, there are more than a dozen states with federal lawsuits challenging state bans on same-sex marriage.

Generic information
You can apply for an account and a project using the community server.
Once you have an account and/or a project, you upload a Darcs repository as follows. First, initialize your repository on the server:
$ ssh community.haskell.org you@haskell:~$ cd /srv/code/yourproject you@haskell:/srv/code/yourproject$ darcs init
Then, log out and push your repository:
$ darcs push community.haskell.org:/srv/code/yourproject
If you have a project that you want to work on at the Hackathon, please describe it here.
Since Hackathons are great for teamwork, consider joining one of the projects mentioned below. If you're interested in one of these projects, add your name to the list of hackers under that project.
A large chunk of the Darcs team will be at ZuriHac. We would be delighted for you to join in and do some hacking with us. To help you get started, we have a big list of ProbablyEasy bugs to chew on. See our sprint page for more details!
Hackers: Florent Becker, Guillaume Hoffmann, Eric Kow, Reinier Lamers, Petr Rockai, Ganesh Sittampalam and more...
DPM (Darcs Patch Manager)
The Darcs Patch Manager (DPM for short) is a tool that simplifies working with darcs. It is most effective when used in an environment where developers do not push their patches directly to the main repository but where patches undergo a reviewing process before they are actually applied. See http://www.factisresearch.com/2010/03/dpm/ for a short tutorial.
At the hackathon, we would like to add support for detecting conflicts between patches to the DPM. Some help from the darcs hackers on ideas how this feature could be realized would be great! Also, the integration with darcs is quite fragile, so we would also appreciate feedback from darcs hackers here.
Hackers: Stefan Wehr
Need for speed
In 2006 the Python community had a NeedForSpeed sprint. Some Haskell libraries, like the containers library, could use some benchmarks (using e.g. Criterion) and hopefully some performance improvements.
The event library will hopefully replace GHC's I/O manager with a more scalable implementation, based on better data structures and more efficient system calls (e.g. epoll/kqueue).
The project is nearing completion, but more testing and benchmarking is needed. The code also needs to be merged into GHC.
Hackers: Johan Tibell
Data.Binary on continuations
The Data.Binary library provides blazing fast reading/writing of binary data. There are a few things I'd like to see improved, hopefully before inclusion in the Haskell Platform:
- It's not possible to use the library on large inputs without resorting to lazy I/O. By changing the underlying implementation to use continuations and expose a continuations based API we can process large inputs without resorting to unsafe operations. This needs to be done while still offering good performance.
- The library lacks error handling. The above implementation would naturally support communicating errors to the user. There are however other ways to achieve the same result.
- The library currently includes two separate features in one package, low-level binary parsing of simple types (e.g. Ints and Words) and a data format (the Binary typeclass). Arguably the library should be split in two.
- The binary data format should be documented and it should be clear which types are guaranteed to have the same encoding for the foreseeable future.
Hackers: Johan Tibell, Christophe Poucet, Marc A. Ziegert, Lennart Kolmodin
Comment by Jürgen "Jutaro" Nicklisch: I've hacked an addition package to binary: binary-shared, which gives sharing of data for serialization and deserialization. For my app this gives a huge saving of space and time and I think it would be reasonable to integrate this into the binary package.
Comment by David Anderson: A good place to start for switching to CPS might be Attoparsec. The internals are very fast, and could probably make it into Binary.Get easily.
Adaptable containers
Scala's collection library was completely overhauled in 2.8. The containers library is a bit dated. There are several things that could be done:
- Write a new library based on associate data types, yielding performance improvements.
- Write more tests and add some Criterion benchmarks.
- Consolidate API naming, exported functions, etc.
Hackers: Christophe Poucet
I will work on Leksah and help is needed and welcome
- Packaging for Debian/Ubuntu
- Editor for Cabal files with configurations

The automatic rule based time tracker needs some love. Possible projects are
- Graphical statistics
- Export to hamster db (they have nice statistics)

Loker is:
- library for parsing (POSIX) UNIX Shell scripts
- program for static analysis of Shell scripts
- compiler for Shell scripts
- whatever you can imagine related to Shell scripts.
Currently the parser part is almost done. See githug repository.
I am happy to see anyone interested in the project, please contact me.
Hackers: Roman Cheplyaka
Package stb-image contains a JPEG-decoding function, but it is a wrapper around a C function. Obviously, it is not the Haskell spirit to let C do the dirty work!
I once wrote a JPEG-decoder purely in Haskell. It is optimized for readability rather than speed. During the Hackathon, I want to:
- package it under Cabal
- try and optimize it (using bytestreams (or bitstreams?))
- see whether it competes with the C implementation...
Help of hackers who know bytestreams is appreciated (you don't need knowledge of JPEG to participate in this project).
Hackers: Jeroen Fokker.
Hledger is a personal finance manager. Hackers are welcome! Hledger's author Simon Michael will be (remotely) with us.
- Readline-like interface in "hledger add", perhaps using shellac
- Embedded calculator into "hledger add"
- Exporting data to R
- Improve hledger as a library. Design good API
- Also see ideas here; feel free to add them to this list if you are going to hack on them

There are several HTML combinator libraries on hackage, but we still need one that is *really* fast. This is attempt to tackle the problem described here. A simple API proposal can be found here, and the corresponding github repo is here. Everyone is welcome to hack on this (new) project, if you're interested please contact me.
Hackers: Jasper Van der Jeugt, Simon Meier, Christopher Done(?)
- I'm interested in this -- I've forked your github gist. Do you want to start a proper project that we can fork? I'll try to come up with some Criterion tests and QuickCheck properties. I'm interested in adding a type-safe layer which may require some newtypes. Criterion will help determine how detrimental this is to speed and space. ---- Chrisdone 22:17, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
I will be working on the Pesto web framework. Rather than a regular framework, it is a collection of orthogonal modules for the model, view and controller part. I will try to release the regular-web package and possibly work on the Basil library.
Hackers: Chris Eidhof, Christopher Done(?)
Sirenial is a type-safe SQL wrapper. Compared to HaskellDB it uses simpler types and is able to automatically and transparently merge similar SELECT queries. During the Hackathon I will aim to bring the project to a usable state and release a first version on Hackage.
Hackers: Martijn van Steenbergen
We will work on library support (Cabal, FFI) for UHC. There are many other projects, work in progress, etc, so just ask us if you want to work on a UHC related project or just are interested to know a bit more about its internals.
Hackers: Atze Dijkstra, Andres Löh, Jeroen Fokker
Testable Documentation
I'll work on testable documentation. There is still some work to be done on DocTest (e. g. integration with Haddock, support for QuickCheck properties). An other idea is to define some format for tutorials, that allows us to verify that given Examples do actually work. Please drop me some lines (simon hengel at wiktory org), if you are interested in the topic.
Update: I plan to finish DocTest integration with Haddock and then spend the rest of the weekend on Cabal. If you are interested in testable documentation or if you have any ideas, I would still like to chat with you;)
Hackers: Simon Hengel
Histories on data types
I'm going to be working on a seamlessly extending ADTs with histories and lifting functions on those ADTs to properly extend the histories. Things I'll probably spend time on: trying to find a clean SYB formulation for this, and extending the Diff library on Hackage to work on ByteString and Text.
Hackers: Fred Ross
Haskell eval/type-checker/smallchecker as a RESTful service
Considering hacking more on the libraries behind TryHaskell as a service for checking small chunks of code -- similar to CodePad but as a RESTful service callable from JavaScript. This could be used on tutorials and online books such as Learn You A Haskell for testing code samples and interactive exercises (e.g. using smallcheck to check correctness of exercise answers). I envisage blog posts showing snippets that one can run in-page. It's currently on my home computer but I have set a Linode VPS for this purpose (it could also work with multiple hosts although I'm not too up on how to do that). Let me know if you're interesting in using or hacking on this idea. Also thinking about how to utilise CodePad if possible.
Hackers: Christopher Done
Cabal just recently i had to implement a minimal packaging system for my work. for some of the tasks it was convenient to reuse some of the cabal features. so i just stumbled across a post from duncan from last year (post from duncan) trying to find developers interested in helping with cabal. don't know if anybody wants to do some work on that but if there is i'd be up for it.
Hackers: Oliver Mueller, Simon Hengel
sympy is a very good and easy to use symbolic math package for python. We would like to create something similar in Haskell. Of course the time will be limited, so we will try to concentrate on something minimal which is already useful.
Hackers: Mihaly Barasz, Gergely Risko
A VPN mesh daemon written in Haskell. Among other things, it implements an IP routing engine, the BGP dynamic routing protocol, and the results so far show that it's smoking fast at what it does.
The code is still under heavy construction. The goal for the hackathon is to finish the BGP portion of the code, hooking up a routing table using that BGP code, and get multiple routers communicating and routing between each other, with some QuickCheck and Criterion thrown in. Other possible tasks are adding transport security (authentication + crypto between peers), peer management (disconnect/reconnect handling), handling network timeouts, and figuring out how to do configuration and hot configuration reloading.
Since the aim is partially to dispel the myth that Haskell can't be used for I/O heavy real world code, help on improving the performance of the code is most welcome.
Hackers: David Anderson, Tom Harper

White House Correspondents Dinner is a disgrace to the news media
Pat Cunningham
The 2013 edition of the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, which is inexplicably called the Nerd Prom (see HERE), takes place tonight in a ballroom at the Hilton Hotel in Washington.
My greatest regret at not being invited to this affair is that it denies me the opportunity to more formally — and conspicuously — tell the organizers to shove it.
I'll just have to settle for sharing with you readers of this humble blog what Charles Pierce SAYS:

Lovebug mating season returns, spelling trouble for drivers
Splattered remains can mean bad news for vehicles if they aren't cleaned off quickly
It's kind of romantic, in a creepy-crawly kind of way, when thousands of Florida lovebugs find their soul mates. But for humans, lovebug mating season is downright annoying and messy.
"Oh, no, you have to scrub them to get them off," said truck driver Terry Simpson, parked at a rest stop on Florida's Turnpike. "When they hit (the windshield) they kind of splatter, and they stick just like glue."
Lovebugs usually mate during the month of May. Thousands upon thousands of them descend upon South Florida, and many drivers run into giant swarms of them on the highway.
Truckers have it especially rough. They're constantly on the road and constantly running into lovebugs.
"I wash my windshield every day," said Simpson. "I wash the truck about once a week."
Lovebugs, if left stuck on the bumper too long, can cause the paint on a car to strip away. Experts say a fresh wax-job will keep them at bay, and if they do get stuck, it is recommended to quickly wash them off before it's too late.
The bugs will be gone in a few weeks, but will emerge again in September.

Michael Vartan
Birthday Number 9
Michael Vartan is a French-American actor, best known for his role as Michael Vaughn on the American television action drama Alias, and his role on the TNT medical drama Hawthorne.
He was born on Wednesday November 27th 1968, in Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, France.
Michael Vartan is broad-minded, idealistic, and compassionate. He should obtain a wide education, especially in the arts. Vartan is highly creative. Many great artists are found under this number.
Michael must come to truly understand life to be of greater service to society. He has a greater social role to play that will require a blend of the practical and the humanitarian. Michael Vartan must have a keen sense of what will work, but at the same time directing those efforts toward some greater good.
His challenge is to find a place for himself that has some direct benefit to others. The more Vartan can be of service to humanity, the greater will be his personal reward on all levels - from the material to the spiritual.
Michael Vartan is socially oriented and has a gift of charm. He is well-liked and even admired by others. Michael can relate to people in all walks of life. He has also a broad vision of the world and can see the grand scheme of things, including international politics and great social movements.
Michael Vartan expresses his feelings well, but sometimes can be a bit dramatic. He has a strong interest in philosophy and metaphysics.
Nines tend to attract money from other sources, such as inheritance or a stroke of "luck". Also, there is an element of sacrifice in the number 9 that demands that Vartan learns forgiveness and unconditional love. He must avoid negative attachments. Michael Vartan must not hold on to people or situations just because he feels that justice has not yet been done, or that someone still owes him something. Michael Vartan's task in life is to truly let the universe judge such situations, and rely on his own forward-moving life path to bring him the necessities and rewards he deserve.

Michael's day of birth is one of his four core numbers - the Life Path, Expression, and Heart's Desire being the other three. It is the least significant of the four core numbers, but perhaps the most finite, in that it reveals a specific ability Michael Vartan possesses in a marked degree.

Friday Philosophy – Tainted by the Team August 26, 2011Posted by mwidlake in development, Friday Philosophy, humour, Management, rant.

A while ago whilst working on one project, a colleague came back to his desk next to mine and exclaimed "I hate working with that team! – they are so bad that it makes everyone who works with them look incompetent!"
Now there is often an argument to be made that working with people who are not good at their job can be great for you, as you always looks good in comparison {it's like the old adage about hanging around with someone less attractive than you – but I've never found anyone I can do that with…}. It is to an extent true of course, and though it can seem a negative attitude, it is also an opportunity to teach these people and help them improve, so everyone potentially is a winner. I actually enjoy working with people who are clueless, so long as they will accept the clues. You leave them in a better state than when you joined them.
However, my friend was in the situation where the team he was dealing with was so lacking in the skills required that if you provided them with code that worked as specified, which passed back the values stated in the correct format derived from the database with the right logic… their application code would still fall over with exceptions – because it was written to a very, very "strict" interpretation of the spec.
In one example, the specification for a module included a "screen shot" showing 3 detail items being displayed for the parent object. So the application team had written code to accept only up to 3 detail items. Any more and it would crash. Not error, crash. The other part of the application, which the same people in the application team had also written, would let you create as many detail items for the parent as you liked. The data model stated there could be many more than 3 detail items. I suppose you could argue that the specification for the module failed to state "allow more than three items" – but there was a gap in the screen to allow more data, there was the data model and there was the wider concept of the application. In a second example, the same PL/SQL package was used to populate a screen in several modes. Depending on the mode, certain fields were populated or not. The application however would fail if the variables for these unused fields were null. Or it would fail if they were populated. The decision for each one depended on the day that bit of the module had been written, it would seem. *sigh*
The situation was made worse by the team manager being a skilled political animal, who would always try to shift any blame to any and all other teams as his first reaction. In the above examples he tried to immediately lay the blame with my colleague and then with the specification, but my colleague had managed to interpret the spec fine (he did the outrageous thing of asking questions if he was not sure or checked the data model). Further, this manager did not seem to like his people asking us questions, as he felt it would make it look like they did not know what they were doing. Oddly enough they did NOT know what they were doing. Anyway, as a consequence of the manager's hostile attitude, the opportunity to actually teach the poor staff was strictly limited.
That was really the root of the problem, the manager. It was not the fault of the team members that they could not do the job – they had not had proper training, were unpracticed with the skills, siloed into their team, not encouraged to think beyond the single task in front of them and there was no one available to show them any better. The issue was that they were being made to do work they were not able to do. The problem, to my mind, was with the manager and with the culture of that part of the organisation that did not deal with that manager. He obviously did not believe that rule one of a good manager is to look after the best interests of your team. It was to protect his own backside.
But the bottom line was that this team was so bad that anything they were involved in was a disaster and no one wants to be part of a disaster. If you worked with them, you were part of the disaster. So we took the pragmatic approach. When they had the spec wrong, if we would alter our code to cope, we would alter our code. And document that. It gave us a lot of work and we ended up having a lot of "bugs" allocated to our team. But it got the app out almost on time. On-going maintencance could be a bit of an issue but we did what we could on our side to spell out the odditites.
I still know my friend from above and he still can't talk about it in the pub without getting really quite agitated 🙂

Post subject: Shutter fabric "recoating" idea- need sanity check
For whatever reason I have completely abandoned all family and social activities and I have holed up in the basement with a case of Odwalla bars and a bunch of Graflex SLR projects. Tonight's flight of madness was the transplant of a good shutter curtain from a partially crushed Auto to another camera with no mechanical issues other than a rather crispy shutter curtain. All went well and I am now in the final phase of every Graflex rebuild: replacing missing screws and filling stripped holes. However, at the end of it all I found myself with the dead shutter curtain in my hand. Just for giggles I held it up to a light to see if it was just stiff or if it also had light leak issues. Turns out it had plenty of pinholes right along those horizontal striations that characterize moribund shutter curtains. But while I was looking at it so closely I noticed that aside from the brittle rubber, the rest of the curtain was in fabulous condition. The metal spars were perfect and the fabric (not the rubber) was just as supple and pretty as the day it was born. Soooo naturally... it came in to my head that if I could just magically make the old brittle rubber disappear, then I would have a beautiful foundation for painting on a new layer of opaque black rubber and voila!... a like new curtain. Bottom line question, does anyone know of anything not seriously toxic that would dissolve only the rubber component of an old curtain? If so, I'm all ears.
Thanks as always,

Post subject: Shutter Curtain Recoating
The problem with the recoating idea is that the threads running through the horizontal wrinkles become frayed and eventually fail. I've tried recoating, and the curtain usually fails right along those wrinkles.
It really depends on the condition of the curtain and how friable it is.
Have you tried plasti-dip?

Well, I was not envisioning
recoating. I can see a number of problems with that, regardless of the condition of the old rubber. I was thinking of
the old rubber
, then coating the newly uncovered fabric.
I have not tried Plasti-dip for this type of thing. My instinct would be to reach for a bombproof two-part pourable urethane with a stiff loading of carbon black pigment. Then you know that the stuff is not going to get soft or sticky under any conditions. I do not know exactly what P-dip is, or how it works, so I am not sure of its suitability for long term applications such as a shutter curtain.
Best as always,

Post subject: curtain rubber
Big problem with Plasti-dip....really likes to glue to itself....tried several times to use it...with curtain hanging on the clothsline in the hot summer sun....thin spray usually does not cover pinholes....enough spray to block pinholes and the roll becomes to thick to fit into the pockets....so there goes that idea! Never came up with a way to strip the old rubber off, without destroying the cloth??
That is the time when I came up with a simple way to make new curtains...well not simple...but do'able!! Will send those instructions to you if you dont allready have them!
Have a nice prosperious and wellness....Happy New year.....Bert

Hi Bert - Thanks for checking in. Happy New Year to you too. Best for 2010 to you!
Thanks for the feedback on the P-dip. I will stay away. I think there are less risky alternatives out there, but they may need to be ordered from Grainger's as opposed to purchased at the local Mega-Mart. Regardless of the type of goop, I would think it would need to have quite a bit of black pigment added. I am guessing that around 2% by weight would be a good start. That should be pretty opaque. If not, then twice that loading should do the trick.
I have plenty of old junker curtains around by now. I feel the urge to experiment with stripping. Can you share your experiences in that area? I would like to know what did not work so that I can avoid duplicating! I am guessing that the coating on the old curtains is some form of true rubber, which may not lend itself to being dissolved by anything remotely friendly.
I would love to have a fresh copy of the instructions for making a new curtain. I switched computers a while back so I don't have all previous emails. It would be great to have the authentic Bert info right at hand! As you know I have groped my way through a few shutters but I think a good set of instructions would have saved literally days of effort.
Best to all Graflexers in 2010 and beyond!

Post subject: pinholed curtain
You might try black oil paint....>>artist oil paints<< use a small pointed brush, and apply directly to each pinhole! Again, to spray the paint on would make the curtain to thick to fit into the pockets! I painted a canvas for Christmas on regular oil canvis, attached it to a shade roller...I hang it in my bay window every Christmas with lights, for my display...(Bambi/Thumper/Flower and friends in front of a Christmas tree)! The curtain is rolled up every year, havent lost any paint yet, after about 20 years or so! Caution: You will need what is called "jap drier" mixed in the regular paint, so it will dry faster....or use the "
" type oil paints!
Give me a jingle on email.......Bert

I've used Plasti-Dip to treat pinholes successfully. Like all media, it depends on how it is applied. Whatever coating material you choose, you must be able to roll up the curtain and place it back into the roller pocket. Thickness is crucial here.
Original curtains are coated with a material that can be dissolved with a nonpolar solvent. The trick is to find a solvent which won't leave an oily residue, or leave the coating material permanently tacky.

Thanks for the feedback, Camz. Much appreciated. Do you have any particular recommendations? I think I have some toluene in the basement. I will start there unless you have any other recommendations.

I have successfully used washable fabric paint to patch pinholes in bellows. I applied the paint to the inside lining of the bellows. I believe it will work on shutter curtains as well.

Hmmm.... very interesting preliminary test results. I dug through the shelf of nasty toxins in the basement and found a pint of a paint stripper called Strypeeze. It contains toluene, MEK and a couple of other unsavory chemicals. Sounded like just the right thing! So I painted a 3/4-inch square of an old curtain with it. The curtain had good looking
but the
rubberized coating
had all of those tiny horizontal cracks that mean only two things: the curtain won't roll up or release correctly because it can't lie flat enough, and there will be plenty of pinhole light leaks.
I applied the Strypeeze to the rubberized side of things, of course. I followed the instructions on the can: brush on in one direction and then just let it work its magic for 15 minutes. What a surprise when I came back to check the results. The rubber coating had completely lifted off the fabric! There was just a little puddle of black goo that I wiped off with a damp sponge. I then thoroughly rinsed the area with water to prevent any damage to the fabric itself. At first blush the rubber seems to have been completely removed and the fabric seems unmolested.
These are just first impressions of a preliminary result, so we don't want to read too much into it right now. One thing is clear. The Strypeeze will remove the rubber portion with no difficulty. Next step is to confirm that the fabric is OK underneath once everything dries out. If all is well, then stripping a larger area such as an entire curtain would follow. After that the challenge will be to identify a suitable
material. I will keep you posted.

google (or other search engine) for free image hosting, select one of the many that are available and create an account, upload the images, use the code provided by the hosting site and post it here. I'm currently using
which works for posting here. Use the img code to have the image show up in the post, other link(s) for thumbnail(s).
I hope you are not inhaling too much of those chemicals.

Well, I got 'round to a larger scale rubber stripping effort. Bottom line, there is a huge difference between stripping a spot the size of a coin and stripping a whole curtain. The process is definitely not suited to a workshop environment! It was a huge black gooey mess. I made it through half of a 5x7 curtain tonight in a couple of hours of on-again / off-again toil. In any case, the initial results show promise. After stripping I am left with a supple semi-opaque woven fabric. The stripper does not appear to have attacked the cloth. The fabric is opaque until held up against a light source. Of course I have no way to judge if the original material back in 1912 was more or less opaque before the rubber went on. My gut sense is that I did not lose too much opacity. I am toying with the idea of dyeing the curtain black as a precaution but I think it makes sense to get the carbon black into the rubber coating where it will be permanently tied down. At work I have access to raw carbon black pigment so this option is talking to me.
Also I am researching coating materials at the moment. I have narrowed my research to a couple of candidates that are likely to succeed (I think). Meantime, here are photos of the before and after stripping states. Both were taken from the same angle, same magnification, same area, same lighting, etc. Further updates to come if the recoating step step succeeds. Any suggestions for a recoating material are welcome at this stage. Plastidip get a lot of knocks but I may try a test just to be sure. Any other suggestions? Also, I am estimating that 2% carbon black by weight would be the proper loading into the rubber coating. Does anyone have any confirmation or concerns for this number?
Sorry about the weird light/dark artifacts in the photos. The curtains are of course charcoal in color.
Many thanks in advance.
PS: 45PSS, I still would prefer to have graflex.org hosting the images the way that apug.org does. It is just more comfortable.

So far I've repaired 2 shutters one on a pre-Anniversary Speed Graphic the other a Thornton Pickard using water soluble Acrylic black paint. This is similar to the washable Fabric paint that 45PSS mentions.
I painted it on slightly thinned & let it soak into the cloth and wiped off the excess, I coated both sides this way. The Graphic shutter curtains were flat, no creases but pinholed,
The TP curtain was very creased had a flaking coating which I had to remove first with meths, then when clean & dry I ironed it flat again, at this point the fabric was like a sieve, not remotely light proof, however the acrylic paint completely resealed the cloth, and it's fully light proof again.
Both shutters are still working fine 18 months later, there's no stickiness an earlier poster described. Now I have 3 more Thornton Pickard shutters to repair, and may make my own new curtains using the same technique to lightproof some black fabric.

Thanks for the information - this is really useful. Can you let us know the brand of fabric paint that you used? I would be curious to know the percent black pigment in it. Also, are the painted shutters opaque even if held up in front of a halogen lamp? I found that some of the commercially available shutter cloths look opaque when held up in front of a fluorescent or incandescent bulb, but they actually show some light pass in front of a halogen source such as a new fangled desk lamp. A good Graflex shutter shows no pass even in front of a halogen, so that is what I shoot for. However, I am not sure if such high opacity is really required.
I ended up using a 1% black pigment rubber coating. If the fabric paint has considerably more black pigment then I would be interested to try it, possibly in combination with the rubber. I only finished this past weekend so I do not know yet how smoothly the rubber coated shutter will function.
Thanks again - I look forward to your next post.

Sorry the paint's in the UK, and I'm not back there for 3 or 4 weeks so I can't tell you the brand etc until then, but it has a very high pigment content and so worked perfectly.
If you'd seen the cloth of the Thornton Pickard shutter you wouldn't have believed it could be re-light proofed.
I'll post the details as soon as I can, I have 3 more shutters to rebuild and will be making new cutains this way.

Today in the news: Student attempts suicide at Cincinnati school
News to know
A student at an all-male parochial high school outside of Cincinnati reportedly tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in class, according to the Associated Press. The school was immediately locked down as a precaution, but authorities do not believe there was any threat to the other students. The school's director of community development said the student is "fighting for his life," though no other information about his condition has been released. A priest was sent to the hospital where the student was taken. Additional counselors were sent to the school to talk to students, while police are interviewing classmates of the student to try to learn more about his motives. Officers also plan to meet with school officials to re-examine their security plan.

This document contains data from the 1996 Census of Population and Housing, and describes the characteristics of people in New South Wales and their housing arrangements. It is just a sample of what is available in the publication series Census of Population and Housing: Selected Characteristics for Urban Centres and Localities (Cat nos 2016.0-7), available for each State and Territory, and nationally.
The data presented in this document relate to where people were counted on census night, and therefore data for each geographical area includes visitors to that area but exclude those people who were away on census night. The document uses both the Urban Centre/Locality (UC/L) and the Section of State (SOS) geographic classifications which classify areas according to size of the population. Whilst the UC/L classification covers only part of the State or Territory, the SOS classification covers the State or Territory in its entirety.
This document presents only a selection of data from the full range of census variables. For further information about other census or Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data refer to the Directory of Census Statistics, 1996 or elsewhere on this site. Concepts and definitions used in this document, including UC/L and SOS, are explained in the Explanatory Notes and more detailed information is available in the Census Dictionary, 1996 (Cat. no. 2901.0)
The ABS draws extensively on information provided freely by individuals, businesses, governments and other organisations. Their continued cooperation is very much appreciated: without it, the wide range of statistics published by the ABS would not be available.
