Jan 23, 2013It's hard to believe that a show that had so much promise fell so short. Even with Kevin Bacon attached, how could it have gone so wrong? It's predictable, routine and stale material.Bad writing, over-acting round off the mix.

Feb 4, 2013Sure, understanding the reason for "The Following" is very hard to do in the first couple of episodes. I agree with other people who say the connections between characters are implausible, but then again the series sets a tone that strongly implies that the gaps will be bridged by flashbacks or other means. This however, is arguably the best new show on basic TV right now.

Mar 5, 2013How stupid naive do the writers think people are Nobody would do the things shown in this series. Common sense is totally missing by all law enforcement personnel. I find myself embarrassed for the characters actions at myself for watching this long.

Feb 8, 2013I don't think that Kevin Bacon can carry this show... It seems hurried and banal. I can't swallow half of the situations that come up on very episode. I think this one is destined to be cancelled. Shock and awe are not working in this second rate attempt to a televised Silence of the Lambs.
Mar 7, 2013
Mar 12, 2013I tried to like this show but finally gave up. It is simply an insult to my intelligence. How bad to the writers want to make the FBI look? (Not that they may not deserve it in reality...) At the end of the day why would I want to spend 98% of its showtime laughing at its faults in logic and sense. A good premise gone bad for lack of intelligent and realistic writing.
Mar 13, 2013
Feb 7, 2013I was waiting for this to come out for a while. And finally is here, but turns out is not as good as it promises to be. Kevin Bacon is great but the plot is just not convincing and it also comes out at times as pretentious and trying to hard. Better waste my time on something else than watch after episode 2.
Mar 4, 2013After seven episodes of The Following it has occurred to me that it could be really made into a suspense thriller if they put the cast in a locked room and made them read the script.

Feb 26, 2013It is angering to watch Kevin Bacon doing a great job in show that seems too ridiculous. The cops, FBI, prison guards, and US marshals are all stooges. As much as I want to like this show, I come away feeling frustrated at the stupidity of the good guys and the the unrealistic resources and organization of the antagonist.

Jan 30, 2013The Following delivers.........interesting plot, great performance by Kevin Bacon and Jeremy Purefoy, awesome suspense and good twists at the end, make the pilot one of the best episodes I watched this year so far.
Jan 31, 2013The show just seemed boring in the first few minutes. I was not and still am not interested in it at all. It may be because I am more interested in action shows and lots of drama, but The Following does not appeal to me.

Feb 20, 2013What an amazing trailer! Am I right? Unforgivably, the story might have gassed out already. Unfeasible behaviors, dragged out pacing that span multiple commercial breaks, forgettable characters, and confusing love triangles. There is but one way to salvage this show. Kevin Bacon needs to pull a BattleStar out of his--I give it a four.
Mar 24, 2013
Mar 25, 2013Really tailing off now after a good start. Dream sequences are scraping the barrel, and a week before Easter, it's actually getting implausible to the point of meh, whatever...
Feb 2, 2013The first two episodes of The Following have all the effectiveness and require the same suspension of disbelief as a slasher film, but with elements of a good TV procedural. No TV show has made me jump and say 'Holy (expletive)" If they can keep the intensity, it should be an interesting ride.
Feb 6, 2013I think The Following is an incredible show. It's exciting, suspenseful, gory and always keeps you guessing. Kevin Bacon is fantastic. James Purefoy was cast perfectly as the very charismatic (and quite psychotic) serial killer. I think it's a great take on the "cult" phenomenon. I anxiously await every weeks episode just to see where the writers will take us next.

Apr 15, 2013Please!!! What is it with the FBI and the Keystone Cops who are constantly stumbling through stakeouts, getting killed by amateur criminals, and surrounding buildings like idiots? Its silly how inept they make the FBI out to be. I really wanted to like this show, but the writing is beyond horrible.
Fire all the writers and start over or cancel this mess. -

Jan 26, 2013Dark, crazy, and surprisingly predictable. Following (excuse the terrible pun) Williamson's history with "The Vampire Diaries" and "Dawson's Creek", it's surprising that "The Following" is such a dark, insane show.
Jan 28, 2013So far it's really good. It almost feels like a movie. There is enough tension to keep you thinking and the acting is above par for most tv shows. I am really impressed and look forward to more.
Jan 31, 2013This show is very good. Interesting, suspenseful, and well written. Kevin Bacon does a great job as lead. Leaves you waiting for the next episode each week.
Feb 23, 2013
Mar 13, 2013
Mar 14, 2013Not even Kevin Bacon can carry this utterly predictable and diabolical script. The acting is at best, shocking. Exceptionally poor on all counts. The main lead is as plastic as the storyline with equally plastic supporting actors. So far an incredibly painful show to watch and yet with so much promise.

Mar 5, 2013I was really excited for this series when it started, but soon realized that every episode is going to be the same, much like HOUSE. Kevin Bacon gets a lead, chases it down, then realizes he's been tricked by Joe Carroll. I still really enjoy it and am curious to how season 1 will end, but I sure hope that they have an ending planned out for the series. I don't want to get Lindelof'ed

Mar 30, 2013great series ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apr 8, 2013Great plot. Great characters. Haven't eagerly awaited a TV show this much every week since 24 was on.
I am amazed every week how unpredictably the story will turn. GREAT casting. I can see most of these actors/actresses getting their own shows in the future. All you negative ninnies go watch New Girl or Castle. I'll look forward to Seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this more intense drama. -

Apr 17, 2013One more thing...the cult guy who pretended to be gay then smothered his pretend gay partner to death with a pillow in a mercy killing thing all of a sudden became a hardcore killer...not only is he now a ruthless killer but he can outsmart the effing FBI in the dark woods AND get back to the mansion!!! Lastly, thank the Heavens above that the FBI in this show is fake!

Apr 26, 2013As a clinical forensic shrink it baffles me that the complex motivations driving cult behaviour and psychopathy are not better developed. The penal/justice system and its representatives are completely misconstrued. The level of gore is disturbing! The script is terrible and plot ridiculous.
Apr 26, 2013This show is EVIL and stunningly preposterous in its plotting. The characters are morons. I hate this show. If one psychopath commits a crime imitating this contemptible series Fox should be sued into oblivion. Does that network have NO standards and practices department?

May 2, 2013I am so sick of this show, writers really think we believe all the nonsense they write??? Come on! All the FBI is trying to catch Joe Carrol, but it really seems that Hardy is all the time absolutely alone... We do have brains people! where is the common sense? I feel offended by this production.
May 14, 2013The writing is poor, the story is unrealistic and uninteresting. A decent cast and acting, however; the suspension of disbelief required makes The Following is completely unwatchable. Hannibal and Bates Motel are far better in the thiller/horror genre. I can't believe a show this poor was renewed.
May 14, 2013Unconvincing and utterly silly. This would have worked for 2 maybe 3 episodes at best, but a whole season of lunacy?
Bacon is good, but he can't save the show from the absurdity of the story. -
May 16, 2013The biggest load of crap I have ever seen. How many times will this fool have the prison doors opened for him. By series end the whole planet will be a signed up following member.

Nov 1, 2013The show started well if gory and gratuitously violent but lost it's originality by week 4. Now it's the same graphic bloody mess week after week. I've discovered if I watch the first 3 minutes and the last 7 I get the whole story without watching fingers get cut off, police officers shooting each other in a blood bath and FBI being buried alive. The show is boring.
Jan 21, 2014What started out as a stylish and interesting thriller completely dissolved into an insipid and ridiculous series of cliches. The writers simply insult the viewers' intelligence with a series of plot twists more unbelievable than the next.

Mar 23, 2013My new favorite show that i can't seem to get anybody to watch, mostly because they are afraid of serial killers and live in creepy apartments in the city. I love this show, after every episode i leave feeling like it has gotten better than the week before. One criticism, the serial killers seem to get a little too lucky at times, but hey its TV
Part Greek tragedy, part "Silence of the Lambs" offspring, The Following has an intriguing premise that almost rises above its layered plotting.
The Following, compelling and frustrating from its opening credits, sets viewers up for a season-long, blood-soaked rematch between an evil intellectual and his law-enforcement nemesis.
[A] somewhat overheated but still fairly effective new thriller.

Languages of Asia
There is a wide variety of languages spoken throughout Asia, comprising a number of families and some unrelated isolates. Asian languages usually have a long tradition of writing, but not always.
Language groups[edit]
The major families in terms of numbers are Indo-European in South Asia and Sino-Tibetan in East Asia. Several other families are regionally dominant.
Sino-Tibetan includes Chinese, Tibetan, Burmese, and numerous languages of the Tibetan Plateau, southern China, Burma, and northeast India.
The Indo-European family is represented by the Iranian branch, which includes Persian, Pashto, and other languages of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia; Pakistan and India, which includes Urdu, Hindi respectively, along with many other state languages of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldives; Russian in Siberia; Greek around the Black Sea; and Armenian; as well as extinct languages such as Hittite of Anatolia and Tocharian of (Chinese) Turkestan.
Altaic families[edit]
A number of smaller, but important language families spread across central and northern Asia have long been linked in an as-yet unproven Altaic family. These are the Turkic languages, Mongolic languages, Tungusic languages (including Manchu), Korean, and Japonic languages.
The Mon–Khmer (Austroasiatic) languages are the oldest family in Southeast Asia. They include Vietnamese and Khmer (Cambodian).
The Tai-Kadai (or just Kadai) languages of southern China spread in historic times into Southeast Asia, where Thai (Siamese) and Lao are official languages.
The Austronesian language includes the languages of the Philippines and most of the languages of Indonesia (excluding inland New Guinea), such as Malay (Indonesian) and Tagalog (Filipino).
The Dravidian languages of southern India and parts of Sri Lanka include Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam, while smaller languages such as Gondi and Brahui are spoken in central India and Pakistan respectively.
The Afroasiatic languages are represented by the Semitic family in southwest Asia, which includes Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, and extinct languages such as Babylonian.
Siberian families[edit]
Besides the Altaic families already mentioned (of which Tungusic is today a minor family of Siberia), there are a number of small language families and isolates spoken across northern Asia. These include the Uralic languages of western Siberia (better known for Hungarian and Finnish in Europe), the Yeniseian languages (linked to the Athabaskan languages of North America), Yukaghir, Nivkh of Sakhalin, Ainu of northern Japan, Chukotko-Kamchatkan in easternmost Siberia, and—just barely—Eskimo–Aleut.
Caucasian families[edit]
Three small families are spoken in the Caucasus: Kartvelian languages, such as Georgian; Northeast Caucasian (Dagestanian languages), such as Chechen; and Northwest Caucasian, such as Circassian. The latter two may be related to each other. The extinct Hurro-Urartian languages may be related as well.
Small families of southern Asia[edit]
Although dominated by major languages and families, there are number of minor families and isolates in southern Asia. From west to east, these include
- extinct languages of the Fertile Crescent such as Sumerian and Elamite;
- small groups of the Indian subcontinent and Andaman Islands: Burushaski, Kusunda, Nihali, Great Andamanese, Ongan, and the recently proposed Siangic;
- Hmong–Mien (Miao–Yao) scattered across southern China and Southeast Asia;
- several "Papuan" families of the central and eastern Malay Archipelago: languages of Halmahera, East Timor, and the extinct Tambora of Sumbawa. Numerous additional families are spoken in Indonesian New Guinea, but this lies outside the scope of an article on Asian languages.
Creoles and pidgins[edit]
The eponymous pidgin ("business") language developed with European trade in China. Of the many creoles to have developed, the most spoken today are Chavacano, a Spanish-based creole of the Philippines, and various Malay-based creoles such as Manado Malay influenced by Portuguese. A very well-known Portuguese-based creole is the Kristang, which is spoken in Malacca, a city-state in Malaysia.
Sign languages[edit]
A number of sign languages are spoken throughout Asia. These include the Japanese Sign Language family, Chinese Sign Language, Indo-Pakistani Sign Language, as well as a number of small indigenous sign languages of countries such as Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. Many official sign languages are part of the French Sign Language family.
Official languages[edit]
Asia and Europe are the only two continents where most countries use native languages as their official languages, though English is also widespread.
- Afghanistan: Persian, Pashto
- Bahrain: Arabic
- Bangladesh: Bengali
- Bhutan: Dzongkha
- Brunei: Malay, English

What is a responsible airline like? | Environmentally friendly travel | We are a fair and trustworthy employer | We work within the community | Thinking ahead | Any questions? |
Environmentally friendly travel
Reducing emissions | Fuel consumption | Green landings |
Between 1999 and 2009, we were able to reduce our emissions by 22% per seat. We are continuously reducing our emissions, and our objective is to reach a reduction of 41% between 1999 and 2017. | Between 1999 and 2009, we were able to reduce our fuel consumption by around 0.8 litres per 100 kilometres and per seat — a reduction of around 22%. Our objective is to achieve a further reduction of 0.65 litres per 100 km and seat by 2017. | When landing, we use the so-called continuous descent approach (CDA). This means that we need to use less engine power when approaching an airport, allowing us to save around five million kilograms of fuel per year. At present, 60 to 80% of all landings at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport are green. |
Winglets/sharklets | Eco-friendly routes | Recycling |
All our planes have special ailerons at the tips of their wings, called sharklets or winglets depending on the manufacturer. The winglets/sharklets improve the aerodynamic properties of the wings, thereby reducing the fuel consumption of the plane by up to 5%. The winglets/sharklets in the new planes we have ordered are even more effective: they save up to 3% more fuel. | Thanks to the geographical location of Helsinki, our routes between Asia and Europe are shorter than those from many other cities — short routes mean fewer emissions. | Our goal is to recycle as much of the waste generated on board our flights as possible. In the year 2010, we recycled 46% of all waste generated – that's 8% more than the previous year. Today, we recycle over 50% of all generated waste. |
The renewal of our fleet is our most important environmental action
Each new generation of jet plane consumes up to 25 per cent less fuel and produces 25 per cent less carbon dioxide. We can therefore radically reduce our emissions by flying new planes.
"95 per cent of airline emissions come from engines during flight. The most important thing an airline can do for the environment is to fly with modern planes that generate fewer emissions,", says Kati Ihamäki, Finnair Vice President for Sustainable Development.
We are constantly renewing our fleet and the average age of our planes is no more than six years. Of all the full-service airlines, Finnair flies its scheduled flights with one of the most modern fleets in the world.
Our current fleet consists primarily of new Airbus aircraft. For long-distance flights, we use Airbus A330-300 and A340-300 wide-body aircraft. For domestic and European flights, we use Airbus A320 aircraft, and for shorter routes, Embraer 170 and 190 aircraft.
At the end of 2010, our long-distance fleet consisted of 15 modern Airbus wide-body aircraft. By the middle of this decade the core of our fleet will consist of new Airbus A350 XWB aircraft, of which 11 have already been ordered.
The more environmentally friendly Airbus aircraft will replace the last few Boeing 757-200 aircraft now being used for our leisure flights. In the spring of 2010, we reduced the number of Boeing aircraft used for leisure flights to three and the four remaining aircraft will be taken out of service in the near future.
The determined renewal of the fleet will directly affect our emissions. Between the years 1999 and 2009, our emissions were reduced by 22 per cent per seat, and at our current rate of fleet renewal, we will reach our objective of reducing our emissions by a total of 41 per cent by 2017.

Hey Washington: Sequester these real facts
Wolf! Wolf!
Just another day at the office for our elected leaders as they forgo the job of managing and leading our nation and resort to name calling and "blame-storming," the practice of throwing names on a board until one of them strikes everyone as the perfect person to blame for the current mess.
Since my grasp of math is tenuous at best, I needed a simple way to understand these "draconian" cuts of $85 billion (with a b!) that will impact every man, woman and child and lead to mass starvation, expose us to foreign military attack and cause economic collapse. Or not.
The current federal budget (and yes, I know Congress hasn't formally passed one in four years) is $3.8 trillion (with a t!). The sequestration cuts are $85 billion. Carry the zeros...it's 2.4 percent and (I hope you are sitting down for this) that's after the Federal Budget increased 8 percent year-to-year. So basically, these "horrible" cuts do nothing to reduce government spending and only cut the rate of growth from 8 percent to 6 percent.
While there is little argument that cutting like this may not be the best way to reign in federal spending, the claims of an "end of days" scenario are fantasy at best, just like the concept that Congress would ever cut anything voluntarily, especially if it cost any of them even one vote.
Cut away!

La Leggierezza ('Lightness') also begins a capriccio, but quickly finds its main material in a very simple single line in each hand, and the unusual tempo direction 'Quasi allegretto' (which is almost always ignored in performance in favour of something more frenetic). Like the other pieces in this set, it is monothematic, but the contours of the original theme must be sensed more than observed under the delicate decoration with which it is subsequently varied. Liszt's quiet ending did not seem sufficiently applause-gathering to the great Polish pedagogue (but very minor composer) Theodor Leschetizky (1830–1915). He embellished the piece with a new coda which used to be regularly adopted in concert. With best respects, the present writer prefers not to be a hostage to those that already find Liszt vulgar (and how this conclusion is reached specifically for Liszt without embracing many another prolific Renaissance man—Haydn, for example?—is itself a conundrum, although Liszt's music has frequently been performed vulgarly enough), and Liszt's gentle Picardie cadence is retained here.
Un Sospiro ('A sigh') is the best known of the set, and was much taught by Liszt in his later years. The felicity with which, in a single work, Liszt took the speciality of Sigismund Thalberg (1812–1871)—the technical sleight of hand whereby a melody is surrounded or supported by arpeggios such that an impression of three hands at the keyboard is given—and ennobled it once and for always with one of his finest melodic inspirations has kept this piece in demand from the beginning. (For the benefit of anyone who has not seen this piece performed, it should be mentioned that the melody notes are taken by left and right hand in turn whilst both hands maintain the flowing accompaniment.) In his masterclasses Liszt took to adding a cadenza at the fermata before the return of the theme in the home key—where it is ever more cleverly divided between the thumbs whilst the accompaniment manages to travel far and wide in both hands. The cadenza that he wrote for Auguste Rennebaum in 1875 is included at this point, but, because it would be a pity not to have them, the cadenzas that he wrote for Henrik Gobbi (date unknown) and for Lina Schmalhausen (1885) are included by way of an optional preamble. Lina Ramann preserved Liszt's late alternative coda in the Liszt-Pädagogium, and this text is adopted here. Liszt at once preserves the mediant progressions of the transition sections of the etude in the ascending right hand whilst introducing a descending whole-tone scale in the left.

Talk:Travel news
Contents |
This is a good idea, but surely newer news should come first, and older stuff is then moved into the archives later? Compare WikiPedia:Current events.
Also, should we adopt Wikipedia's style and have daily headings, or keep 'threads' together? The daily heading style has the major advantage of being easier to maintain, but it's a little harder to follow (esp. without links into full articles). Jpatokal 09:18, 3 Jan 2005 (EST)
Please check Wikinews for international news stories; and contribute ones you don't see there. Content on Wikinews is currently all public domain. Sj 14:49, 11 Feb 2005 (EST)
Is this a slippery slope?
I'm wondering -- is publishing daily travel news really part of our goals? I don't know if it's really helping us create a travel guide. Could someone put me straight? --Evan 18:46, 11 Feb 2005 (EST)
- I don't think it does any harm... cf. also LP's Travel Ticker. But I think the news here should be kept short, with links to Google News or Wikinews or whatever for the full scoop. Jpatokal 21:17, 11 Feb 2005 (EST)
- The sort of news that I see as going here seem to be news items that would affect travel and tourism directly or be of significant interest to travelers, but isn't covered by Wikitravel in other ways. Natural and man-made events that cause unexpected travel disruptions could be candidates as well as stories that affect the traveler's experience. What is there so far is probably the range of things that should be covered.
- Although I wouldn't expect a daily news story. I would also like to see positive or good news stories like Tourists Wanted:Thailand tourist industry has recovered from Tsunami and other such news that says the disaster in the other month's news has been overcome and travel is not disrupted any more. These sorts of we're baaaack stories are not carried by other news outlets. -- Huttite 22:37, 11 Feb 2005 (EST)
France riots overstated in English Language press
Hey, I see that news of the riots in French public housing have been added to our travel news section, as it should be. I think though that we would be doing a service to travellers to point out that the impact on travellers is pretty much nil, and that the reports on English language media have been vastly overstated. I was in Paris the nights of the very worst riots, and saw nothing. And I was on a terrace in the 11th, which is in the quarter of the city toward the suburbs where the riots were.
I'm having trouble figuring out a tone for expressing this in the necessarily tiny main page blurb though. How's this: "State of Emergency in France over youth riots in remote public housing sites. Eng.-lang press goes berserk." -- Mark 06:46, 9 Nov 2005 (EST)
- "Travellers not affected" for the last bit would be more informative, no? Jpatokal 07:51, 9 Nov 2005 (EST)
OK, so let's either do this or not
I've just updated the Travel News with a couple of stories today which were not huge gigantic headline stories and covered ad infinitum everywhere else. I would like to suggest that tomorrow somebody follow in my footsteps. It's easy: use the google news search to find stories of general travel interest. Read some of them. If it seems fairly important put it on the travel page.
I think that this could be an interesting and useful feature, but it absolutely needs to be updated more often.
If in a couple of days the stories I've just posted are still the most recent stories then I will yank the Travel News section off of the main page simply because there is nothing worse for a website than out-of-date "news".
So travel news supporters: get busy. -- Mark 10:35, 1 Dec 2005 (EST)
- I've suggested this before, but it has to be made easier to update the news somehow, the code is a horrible mess and you need to be quite the Wiki-guru to manage it. Only problem is that templating it will be tough because of the three-column format... Jpatokal 11:40, 1 Dec 2005 (EST)
- Another option would be to re-use Wikinews content... but alas, they've recently switched from PD to CC by-sa 2.5. Sigh. Of course, it might not be that bad to have the travel news under a mildly different license, because they're highly unlikely to be included in actual printed guides. Jpatokal 11:49, 1 Dec 2005 (EST)
- I have to say I took a short-lived stab at adding news everyday, needless to say after breaking the main page 3 or 4 times I actually gave up. I'm happy to keep adding stuff to the travel news page if someone else adds it to the main page (and bumps the old). I dont think getting / writing the news is the problem at all, just the adding to the main page. I'll have another go at it... Majnoona 14:17, 1 Dec 2005 (EST)
- I've added stuff here, but I am scared to add it to the main page. Bad things happened to me the last time I tried. --Ravikiran 12:44, 4 Dec 2005 (EST)
- I've updated some more, but if others aren't interested, I think we are better off yanking it. It is not a good idea to rely on the sporadic enthusiasm of 1 or 2 people. At least, we should de-emphasise it on the main page. Just link to the headlines or something. --Ravikiran 13:05, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)
- I really think the key is making the news easier to update -- but it would need a bot of some sort to automatically rotate out the older stuff, and this really isn't very high on my list of priorities right now.
- As a first step, I've outsourced the hairy table formatting stuff into Template:News{left,mid,right}divider, which makes the Main Page a little more user-friendly. And as a second step I just wrote Wikitravel:How to add travel news. Jpatokal 21:29, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)
Templates and one bug
So I've now changed the Main Page to use the templated news item form for consistency, please let me know if you want to change something, find the instructions unclear or difficult, etc.
One odd bug: hitting [edit] for a Template:Newsitem-item results in editing the template, not the section. I'm not sure if this is a bug in MediaWiki or somehow done intentionally. Edit buttons for higher-level headers like "December 2005" still work OK. Jpatokal
- Another bug [1]. The presence of an external link seems to break the news. I don't know why the other items aren't giving this problem though. --Ravikiran 06:37, 12 Dec 2005 (EST)
Could my Web site qualify as travel news?
swept in from User talk:Evan by Evan
Some high school friends and I have created a travel networking site at www.travbuddy.com Could I write a news article about the site, its growth, and our goals? Or would that be considered a form of advertising?
Please advise derek AT travbuddy.com or write back here... if thats how this works :)
- I think this sounds fine. Any comments on this idea? --Evan 22:52, 26 Jan 2006 (EST)
- I think this sounds like a dangerously slippery slope, it's free advertising for an unrelated site . Jpatokal 03:26, 27 Jan 2006 (EST)
- Like SAS ? -- Mark 05:16, 27 Jan 2006 (EST)
- I'm not sure wildcat strikes are the kind of publicity SAS wants... and yeah, I was thinking of a way to qualify my earlier statement, but there's a difference between an actual(tm) travel service provider like an airline and some random Website like, well, Wikitravel. Jpatokal 06:32, 27 Jan 2006 (EST)
- Maybe, but still it is travel related information, and so there should be someplace for it. What better than to put it in Travel News where it will get cycled through eventually? -- Mark 07:20, 27 Jan 2006 (EST)
- I've since looked at their web site, and think that there is no reason why it should not be mentioned on the travel news page. Surely, our fundemental aim is to provide a service that helps travelers. We don't allow links to other travel sites, not out of a competitive mind set, but because it would weaken the quality of the Witravel site if the information were not concentrated here, but instead scattered across many web sites - i.e. it would not, in the long term, be in the travelers interest. However, I don't believe that mentioning a new travel guide coming into existance will delute the information on the Wikitravel articles in any way. To the contrary, I think that by offering information that may prove useful to readers will actually be more in accordance with our basic principle: 'traveler first' - just my humble opinion. WindHorse 27 Jan 06
- I think this is a slippery slope we ought not decend. Let's restrain Travel News to news of the world that affects travellers. -- Colin 10:31, 27 Jan 2006 (EST)

Looks like Apple has made some changes to the App Store on iPad, including adding a slew of filters and will even let you know if any of the resulting apps are already bought/downloaded by giving you a new Install button.
New filters include Category, Release Date, Customer Rating, Price, and Device, as well as a Reset Filters option. Since App Store, like iTunes is really just an app-wrapped, internet powered, WebKit UI Apple can make all sorts of changes without having to wait for a new iOS version to ship. Usually these are just content features, banners, etc. (or the addition of Ping...) but it's nice to see new functionality sneak in every once and a while.
Also new, if you've already bought or downloaded an app but it's not currently loaded on your iPhone, you get an Install button instead of the usual Buy button.
Andrew also noticed that if you leave a search to go to Featured or Top Charts, etc. and then tap the search field at the top right, you're whisked right back the previous search results, sans keyboard.
So what do you think, welcome new features?
[Thanks Peter and Trevor!]
No, the installed buttons are not new, but the "install" is. Usually if you deleted an app earlier and want to go back to re-download it, it shows up as "buy", which can be confusing at times if you've downloaded a whole slew of apps before.
This new feature is a nice way to quickly check and see that it's already purchased in your account instead of making a guess to see whether or not you need to roll the dice and buy it again to determine whether or not the purchase was already in your account history.
Thank you a very informative blog Free iPhone
Very happy to finally see the "install" button featured like this, hope it comes to iPhone and iTunes soon. Lame old Sony has been doing this on their Playstation Network for almost five years now.
That's sweet. So dang sweet!! Now I can login to friends accounts to find out what I can get for free :D
VERY! welcome feature ive been wanting something like this for a long time now i hate buying an app that i already thought i had paid for. ive been using app shopper to help with what ive bought but seems i dont need that anymore :)!!
REALLY like this feature. I agree, I wish this was in iTunes, I hate having to try to add to the wish list or having to search my email to see what apps were purchased.
But at least I can see it through the iPad app store. That's something, at least. And is a sign of things to come! :)

For the duration of my stay I will be offering EVERY pattern in my store at the ridiculously low price of only $2.00 each plus shipping.
Thank you to all for your patronage over the years :)

June 7th 1864 My Dear Robert I received yesterday the package containing $300 and your letter of May 31st, you are indeed "a good boy" for sending home the lions share of your pay and I shall use it so that you will not have occasion to regret it. I put in bank on interest $220 of it, which makes all together in Bank now a little over six hundred, on 4 months interest. so you see I have more than half the designed amount raised. wont you be "a good boy" a little longer to send home your money
