Two semesters. Three hours each. Prerequisites: BIB 111and 142.
This course surveys the spread of Christianity from its Middle Eastern origin, its gradual modification from a Semitic to a largely Gentile movement, and its ever-closer identification with central and Western European territories. Special note is taken of the development of Christian doctrine, through the major debates which troubled the Early Church, and of the rise of the Roman papacy. The semester concludes with an examination of a more confident Christian church in medieval times: ready to attempt mission to North Africa, military crusades to the Middle East, and evangelization in the Western Hemisphere. Pre- or co-requisite: BIB 277 or 278. Three hours. HUM
This course surveys Christian history from the era of the European Renaissance and Reformation of the sixteenth century, the establishing of the Protestant tradition, the eventual Wars of Religion, the transmission of Christianity to the western hemisphere and Asia by trade, colonization, and the rise of the eighteenth century missionary movement. The effects on world Christianity of de-colonization and the major military conflicts of the twentieth century are especially noted. The future of Christianity as an increasingly non-Western and Global South movement will be noted in detail. Pre- or co-requisite: BIB 277 or 278. Three hours. HUM
In this course we will be exploring the history, theology and practices that have shaped Christian Spirituality. Time will be spent reading from classics in Christian spirituality that epitomize the great diversity and depth of the tradition (East and West), and then discussing potential insights and possible challenges such works represent. Additionally, the course will also seek to provide reflection on key theological ideas that should govern, chasten, and encourage Christian growth in grace in truth. Significant time will be spent in discussion not only about what is being read, but also reflecting on various 'practices' (e.g. times of silence, self examination, etc.) that will be done by students. A retreat of silence and solitude, lead by the instructor, will take place at a monastery as part of the course. Prerequisites: BIB 111 and 142 or permission of instructor. Three units.
This course examines the historical and contemporary relationship between science and theology, helping students think critically about important issues at the intersection of philosophy, science and Christian doctrine. The material is approached from a theological perspective. We explore how modern scientific concerns raise questions for traditional Christian perspectives on original sin, anthropology, divine action, and other areas of interest. Primary sources as well as contemporary scholars in science and religion are read. Prerequisites BIB 277, 278. Three hours.
This course will outline a biblical framework for approaching ethical questions. We will examine various ethical methodologies, how the Church has addressed ethical questions at different times in history, and how contemporary Christians can develop a relevant approach to current ethical concerns.

The course aims to investigate the way in which the Christian church has passed through declines and advances. The declines have often ended and advances come through powerful resurgences and awakenings. We will aim to identify these movements, their frequency, their leaders and principles illustrated by their recurrence. We will also attempt to evaluate reports of such awakenings in our time. Prerequisites: BIB 277 and 278. Three hours.
Opportunities for study in various topics of interest within the fields of biblical, theological or missiological studies. Topics will be decided by the Biblical and Theological Studies faculty as need and interest may arise. Prerequisites: BIB 111, 142. Credit to be determined.

Ectopic heartbeats are small changes in an otherwise normal heartbeat that lead to extra or skipped heartbeats. They often occur without a clear cause and are most often harmless.
The two most common types of ectopic heartbeats are:
PVB (premature ventricular beat); Premature beats; PVC (premature ventricular complex/contraction); Extrasystole
Sometimes ectopic heartbeats are seen with:
Ectopic beats may be caused or made worse by smoking, alcohol use
, caffeine
, medications such as stimulants, and some illicit drugs.
Ectopic heartbeats are rare in children without heart disease that was present at birth (congenital). Most extra heartbeats in children are premature atrial contractions (PACs), which are almost always harmless.
In adults, ectopic heartbeats are common. They are most often due to PACs or PVCs. Their causes should be investigated, although usually no treatment is needed.
Symptoms include:
Note: There may be no symptoms.
A physical examination
may show an occasional uneven pulse. If the ectopic heartbeats do not occur very often, your doctor may not find them during a physical exam.
Blood pressure is usually normal.
The following tests may be done:
Limiting caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco may reduce the risk and frequency of ectopic heartbeats in certain people. Exercise often helps people who are inactive.
Most ectopic heartbeats do not need to be treated. The condition is only treated if your symptoms are severe or if the extra beats occur very often.
The cause of the heartbeats, if discovered, may also need to be treated.
Sometimes, ectopic heartbeats may mean you are at increased risk for other serious abnormal heart rhythms, such as ventricular tachycardia

Marshall Plan Nabs CAA Honors For Ponder
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 12/03/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Redshirt freshman Craig Ponder has been named the Colonial Athletic Association's Men's Basketball Rookie-of-the-Week following his career-high performance in UNCW's 61-58 loss at Marshall over the weekend.
Ponder, a 6-1, 185-pound point guard from Bluefield, W.Va., enjoyed a successful return to his home state Saturday night by pouring in 26 points - three more than his total for the previous six games of the season - on 11-of-16 shooting from the field. He also added two rebounds, two assists and two steals in the narrow loss to the Thundering Herd.
"Craig has been improving every day and we're pleased that he's been recognized by the conference," said third-year UNCW Head Coach Buzz Peterson. "We've seen his improvement in practice and knew he was capable. Hopefully, this will give him the confidence to continue to be a sparkplug for this team."
Ponder scored 13 points in each half and the Seahawks took a late lead over the Herd before Marshall rallied in the closing seconds. Ponder was the only UNCW player in double digits on the night.
The Seahawks, 3-4, return to the court Wednesday with an 8 p.m. tip-off against NCAA Division II Coker at Trask Coliseum.

PathHunter™ ß-arrestin Assays are revolutionary high-throughput screening assays for monitoring G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activation following ligand stimulation, without an imaging instrument, fluorescent protein tag, or radioactivity. Instead, the assays detect GPCR activation through ß-arrestin binding to the expressed GPCR of interest, measuring the interaction of the two proteins using enzyme fragment complementation (EFC)*.
The EFC approach offers a range of benefits for screening, including signal amplification, high assay windows, robust performance, and a homogenous, single-addition assay format. The chemiluminescent signal generated can easily be read in 96-, 384- or 1536-well microplates with a standard luminometer, so library screening is simple, fast, and cost effective.
Activation Assay for Virtually Any GPCR
A wide variety of assays are available for analyzing GPCR signaling events, many of them based on second messenger detection. PathHunter ß-arrestin Assays offer a generic method that can be applied to any GPCR and is based upon the interaction of arrestin with the GPCR during activation. The PathHunter ß-arrestin Assay is unique compared to other arrestin assays in that it provides a direct measure of ß-arrestin binding to the GPCR of interest, unlike imaging assays that detect movement of the arrestin molecule. Thus, the assays are ideal for HTS and may be very useful for deorphanizing novel GPCRs.
73 Targets in 101 cell pools are now available for demo or purchase!
Custom services also available
Features and Benefits
» Ideally suited for HTS with a single-addition, chemiluminescent detection protocol
» Directly screen broadest range of GPCRs— or deorphanize novel GPCRS
» Using a standard plate reader, the protocol is fast, simple, and reduces operating costs
» Use common cell types
PathHunter™ ß-arrestin Assay Principle
The assay detects binding of an agonist to a GPCR of interest by directly measuring ß-arrestin binding to the GPCR. Once bound, complementation occurs between the two ß-galactosidase components: the ProLink tag is fused to the C-terminus of the GPCR of interest; the Enzyme Acceptor (EA) is attached to ß-arrestin. These components interact only when in close proximity, forming active ß-gal enzyme that converts substrate to detectable signal.*

Ivan Peck was born July 2, 1936 in Hunter, Oklahoma, to Mabel and Jim Peck and passed to heaven August 16, 2013, two days before his 57th wedding anniversary. He married Rita Miller August 18, 1956, in Hunter United Methodist Church.
Ivan started farming with his dad in 1955. He enrolled at Oklahoma State Tech, Okmulgee, in diesel mechanics and graduated as one of the top 15 students in 1958. He then enrolled at Oklahoma State, Stillwater, in diesel technology, graduated in 1960 and went to work for Serve-aire at Vance Air Force Base as a heavy machinery mechanic.
Several years later, he went back to school and received a bachelor's degree in trade and industrial education and was hired as diesel instructor when O.T. Autry Vo-Tech started in Enid. He continued his education and received his master's degree in 1971. In 1976, he was asked to be a member of a group to represent Oklahoma in writing a book on diesel curriculum development. He would receive calls from northern Oklahoma farmers about their diesel tractors problems.
In 1988, he was called to temporarily fill in as diesel instructor at Indian-Meridian Vo-Tech, Stillwater.
Ivan loved the land and taking care of it in conservation, so after 15 years of teaching, he decided to stay home, and the whole family went into full-time farming after acquiring more land. He also enjoyed serving several years on the soil conservation board.
In 1990, he joined Volunteers in Mission through Oklahoma Methodist Church and fulfilled his passion for the love of people and children by repairing churches and building cement block homes for those in need. He served in this capacity eight to 10 days a year from 1990 to 2010 and operated in seven different countries.
Survivors include his wife Rita of the home; sons Max Peck and wife Linda and Gary Peck and wife Tracy, all of Hunter; eight grandchildren; four great grandchildren; two sisters, Nellie Pratt, Blackwell, and Anna Mae Jones, Duncan.
Ivan was preceded in death by his parents; his youngest son, Randy Peck; one sister, Louise; and one brother, Lawrence.
In lieu of flowers, make memorials to Volunteers in Missions in care of the church or Wilson Funeral Home.
Funeral will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, August 20, 2013, at Hunter United Methodist Church. The Rev. Larry Acton will officiate. Burial will follow in White Cemetery in Hunter. Arrangements are by Wilson Funeral Home, Pond Creek.

Comfortable shoe but fell apart
By Jen
from Ny
This was a gift for my husband. He liked them and said they were comfortable but the bottom of one of the shoes fell apart after 2 months. This is why I gave it 3 stars. Customer service was good though and replaced the shoes. Let's see how long this next pair lasts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Looks great - Fits great
By Maui Girl
from South Florida
We live in a higher end condo in Florida and my husband's sandals were scruffy looking, so I ordered these. They look good enough for a casual evening out and also he says they are very comfortable. They adjust around the arch nicely for personal fit. Very stylish and even a little dressy which we like. A keeper!
Good indoor sandal.
By Rheingold
from Princeton,nj
not quite as comfortable as stated in the ad. I wear it indoors where it feels all right. Not useful for outdoors, footbed is too hard.

review of new sandals
By Dan
from Seattle
Not all that comfortable compared to any other product available. Touted as being "walk on air". I don't really understand what this is supposed to mean in this case. They are only of average quality and coming from your company I expected more. Something uniquely comfortable. Not really all that great. I am generally disappointed.

This is often a lymph channel inflammation. Lymph channels usually follow near blood vessels, but the lymph system has no pump to move the fluid. Irritation of soft tissue, such as prolonged masturbation, vigorous intercourse, or even confinement, can cause an irritation of the lymph channels, particularly below the head (corona) of your penis.
It is usually accompanied by some discomfort, especially when further irritated by additional handling. The swelling may be mild or severe. Your doctor may recommend a supervised regimen of high-dose anti-inflammatory drugs for a prolonged time period (do not try this on your own). This may or may not help.
Treatment REQUIRES leaving the area alone. That means no sex or masturbation until at least a week after it appears to be completely healed. If you aggravate the area, the swelling is very likely to get worse or persist longer. These inflammatory situations usually disappear on their own as suddenly and mysteriously as they appear. It may take 2-6 weeks for it to go away, but make sure you give additional time to heal so the irritation doesn't come right back.
Some exchange members have also tried a cream that helps clear lymph congestion to speed up the healing process (found under Resources in this Exchange). Use with caution if you decide to try this.
Thanks, this is very helpful, and relieveing. Only one question, how can I control or avoid morning erections, these would not help much with the healing process!
Thanks, email@example.com
Im 23 yrs old and about a week and a half ago, i noticed a a lot of veins coming on my penis at once, on the shaft a few blue veins appearing one on the top and to top it of a vessel on the right side and top of my penis is sticking out, i touched it and its soft but they both havent gone down. I don't feel any pain as of yet but slight discomfort.
Im guessing it may be swollen from masturbation but i dunno,
Iv read that drinking Apple cider vinegar is good for varicose veins so I've been drinking that 3 times a day and avoiding touching my penis, I havent noticed much of a change yet, and really don't want to have to go to a doctor,
Any suggestions to this?
The blue are actual veins, and their appearance or texture is not something you can affect by any means. What happens though is that there are lymph channels that follow mostly the same path as your blood vessels. These have no pump, and when they get irritated, they swell. This can give the appearance of bulging veins, but it's really inflamed lymph channels that are pushing the vein at the skin surface.
You don't need to go to the doctor most likely, unless you want them to prescribe a high-dose anti-inflammatory. There are many posts on this subject you can find by searching for the term "sclerosing lymphangitis" in this forum.
The best thing to do is leave it alone, which you're already doing. You can also find a quick reference in the TIPS section of this forum http://forums.webmd.com/3/urology/tip/1
Some of the lymph channels are not as bad but still quite prominent, is there anything i can do besides no masutrbation or sex??
(Ive read on other forums, hot baths and Ibuprofen helps speed that process). Ive also started to Drink 3 tbls of Olive Oil x3 / 2 a day because i read somewhere i can speed up the process,
Do you know if any of this would be effective?
thanks for your help
There is a product suggested in first of the Tips section of this forum which you can try and has helped speed the process for some, but even so it's something that works for some people and not for others. Your body's individual situation is going to be different than another body. There is no guaranteed accelerator, which is just something that points to being gentle with your body in the first place, and especially after the injury. It is possible that it could appear spontaneously even if you hadn't injured it from vigorous masturbation. It's just one of those things.
If you irritate the area before it's fully healed (no evidence of inflammation for at least a week), it will likely make the situation worse for longer. Your regular lymph channels rely on muscle movement to clear them, and there are no muscles in your penis. At the point they've become inflamed, you can't massage them without increasing the problem, so it's pretty much a wait-and-see kind of healing process. It can resolve as quickly as 2-3 weeks or as long as 2-3 months.
Ive bought some Nurofen (Ibuprofen 200mg), i know you said go to the doctor first but I'm just gonna take my chances on it, how many tablets do you recommend taking in a day i noticed the doses must be high? (the packet recommends 6 tablets at most in a 24hr period), I'm aware its not good for my health and may have no effect.
Do erections have any impact at all (whether its negative or positive)?
other than that I've stuck to your advice
thanks again for your help Counterso
Erections have no effect on your situation in and of themselves, but you should not be having intercourse or masturbating. That would involve friction that would irritate the situation.
You do not likely need to see the doctor. They will not provide you with any different advice than what you have read above. And yes, only a urologist would have a useful opinion, not a general practitioner, so save yourself $200 for the time being.
It will likely take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months to go away on its own.
much appreciated,
its moving closer to 2months and not much difference, still prominent dark veins and enlarged lymph channels, which recently have started to become firm which worrys me, where before they felt soft.
My penis is quite hard when flaccid. And slight pain. These symptoms come and go frequently.
Out of concern after giving it time to heal and seeing not much of results, i went to my GP and unlucky for me the symptoms were not overly visible he didn't prescribe anything after i discussed everything mentioned above and checked my penis, he said its all perfectly normal and it will heal on its on and nothing can speed it up, just looking at my current symptoms is this all ok as a second opinion??
I don't know if you tried any of the cream recommended in one of the resource links, but it does help break up congestion in soft tissue and reduce inflammation and can facilitate a faster resolution to any kind of tissue congestion or inflammatory condition, such as what you're describing.
The appearance of the veins may be just a symptom of the inflamed lymph channels which tend to run very close to one another, and the pressure of one is physically pushing the other to more prominence.
You can certainly see a urologist about your situation if you want, but you may save $200 if you know he will only be able to recommend what has been related above.

An area of cloud extends from eastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales to over the Tasman Sea. This is associated with a trough in the lower to middle levels of the atmosphere. Thunderstorms are also visible, although they are mainly over the Tasman Sea.
An extensive cloud band over the southwest of Western Australia is associated with a vigorous cold front, while another cold front and cloudband is over the southern Indian Ocean.
Some low cloud is visible over northern parts of the Northern Territory, while the remaining areas of the country are mostly clear due to a strong high pressure system.

Nine out of ten new businesses fail. That's not a secret, in fact a lot of people are aware of that and yet each year more businesses are being started. Ask the average person and he would tell you that he would like to start a business someday, even though they don't have a clear cut idea of what it would be.
This desire to have one's own business is driven by the fact that it is the only real way to gain financial independence. What most people don't think about though is how they can turn around their business when it starts to fail. That can be a more daunting task than just starting a new one.
To help you out if you find your business in troubled waters, here are some tips from The Social Media Guide that you can use in order to make a positive change in your business:
- Study your business thoroughly and look into every aspect of it. You have to identify the cause of the problem before you can come up with a solution for it.
- Create a plan based on what you have discovered about your business.
- You have to get everyone in your business involved. They have to understand what is at stake. Tell them that the success of the plan would mean them keeping their jobs. Everyone has to be aware of what their roles are.
- Monitoring and communication is vital in turning around your business. You have to look at the progress of the implementation and provide feedback to everyone as to how they are doing.
- The plan is an overall guideline of what you have to follow in order to successfully turn around your business. If you feel however that deviating from it would do some good then go ahead.
- Never be complacent just because you see some positive results. The business world is a dynamic one where there are constant changes. You need to make changes on your plans based on what is happening on the world. If you need to discard your plan then do so.
- Never be inflexible. Trying to stick to a plan on the face of everything that is happening on the market is not going to be a good strategy. Be ready to make some adjustments.
These are just seven tips that you can follow when it comes to turning around your business.

Connecticut spends about $241 per capita each year developing business growth, or $860 million annually, according to a report in the New York Times.
Connecticut is one of 45 states in the country that invest heavily in business development. Nationally, the country spends $80.4 billion on business incentive programs, the newspaper learned following a 10-month investigation.
Of the $860 million Connecticut spends annually on business tax incentive programs, $392 million represents some type of tax discounts, including sales tax and other tax exemptions. Another $377 million represents corporate income tax credits or reductions, while some $90 million of the annual total represents cash grants, loans or loan guarantees to businesses.
The top incentives by industry in Connecticut, the newspaper found were:
- $218 million in Agriculture
- $152 million in Manufacturing
- $135 million in Technology
One of the top beneficiaries of the state's largesse is the Royal Bank of Scotland in Greenwich, which has gotten some $100 million in corporate income tax credits, rebates or reductions from Connecticut, the Times' data shows.

Carnymancers can do some FREAKY shit, man. Rigging the rules... and there are so many rules in Erfworld... so much potential for utter mayhem... all you need is imagination. Parson could use a carnymancer, methinks.
I wonder... are there rules that can't be rigged?
Also, nerf carnymancers! Seriously, what'd he do, make Sylvia immortal? (I know she died, but still). This is way better than any Luckamancy boost. It's a wicked crazy buff - especially considering it seems to be permanent, seeing how long ago that must have happened. Essential near immortality and people failing to kill you all the time.
I guess she died in GK that one time because Fate of GK winning was stronger than Jefftichew's rigging of fate.
Wait, you mean the plan that croaked a caster and a bunch of other units on the tower? And kept pressure on Jetstone? At minimal cost? That was a good plan.vintermann wrote:Wow, some people really do want to see the world burn, don't they? Wonder what Jeftichef's trade was.
Personally, I hope fate catches up with Lady Sylvia, she seems a bit too eager to tempt it. One thing I'm pretty sure of is that this plan to burn the garrison is at least as dangerous as the plan to take down the tower.
Lateral thinking hasn't led to good results for Erf natives so far, has it?
Well it probably gets bigger every time it has to turn a crit into a miss. So Sylvia's inane reliance on it probably is a really bad idea. Also if this is the power of carnymancy and the hammer has carnymancy... not good.shamelessmerc wrote:I think it's a fair bet that Chewy traded something BIG for a fate realignment like that. Big enough to kill a kingdom perhaps?
Oh yeah, they should be able to force a surrender right now. The king is dead and Wanda is the only one who can save him. The duty of every Jetstone unit is to protect the king. Parson should be able to call up the dittomancer and say "come to the MK and invite us into your city. We'll decrypt the king and take command of Jetsone!" Of course, Parson is too busy with his character development.hajo wrote:Searching the garrison, they should find the body of Slately.
That should lead them to the conclusion that a heir has taken over.
The king having a double seems to be too unusual to consider.
The risk of the losing such an important 'prisoner' should prevent
that plan for burning the garrison.

Would you like Apple to move built-in apps to the App Store? [Poll]
The iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad currently come pre-installed with range of apps including Messages, Calendar, Photos, Camera, Clock, Maps, Videos, Notes, Reminders, Game Center, Newsstand, iTunes Store, App Store, Settings, Mail, Safari, and music. None of those apps can be downloaded from the App Store, nor can they be deleted. They simply are. But what if that changed? What if Apple still pre-installed those same apps, but updated them via the App Store?
Perhaps Apple can already update built-in apps outside of firmware updates, perhaps not. To date they haven't taken advantage of any such functionality. They haven't pushed out a new version of just Safari to patch a vulnerability or exploit. They haven't pushed out a new version of mail to add a clever new feature. They haven't pushed out a new version of Game Center to remove those super-annoying "[Your soon-to-be-former-friend] has challenged you to [scummy app you'll now be avoiding]." When there's a long gap between iOS updates, there's a long gap between built-in iOS app updates.
Apple does do this with some of their apps, the non-built in, non-pre-installed ones. iBooks, iTunes U, Podcasts, Remote, Find my Friends, and Find my iPhone are all available from the App Store, and can be updated whenever time allows and need arises.
In a perfect world everything would just update, bit by bit, in the background all the time, and everything would always be up to date. Until we live in that world, do you prefer things the way they are now, with built-in apps tied to iOS updates, or would you prefer having them all in the App Store? Vote up top and give me your reasons in the comments below!
There are 36 comments. Add yours.
It makes no sense for Apple to do that. Google is only doing this, because manufactures and carriers take forever to update the phones, while Apple has complete control. Google knows that manufactures take a while to build there software for the updated version, and then carriers take even longer, adding bloatware and other stuff. Apple doesn`t have to worry about that. If there were bugs to fix in a certain app, they could just release a software update, they don`t need to have the apps separate. It just doesn`t make sense.
Very true.. it's an ongoing issue. Moto X is probably going to get updates more often though. Will be interesting to see how this impacts those like Samsung if Google takes off with it's own brand through Motorola.
I'd probably have said "Meh. Makes no difference to me" rather than "Yes. Every app should be on the App Store" if their products, more often than not, didn't suck so badly or were simply pointless.
But most OS providers are often guilty of loading up their products with substandard apps, rather than risk no one using them at all (rather like cable companies who do packages of stations we don't want either) - and in Apple's case, I guess we can be eternally grateful to whoever talked Jobs of the ledge, when he originally planned to only allow Apple apps on iOS.
I'd love for to to be this way. I think it would be the beginning of moving towards allowing us to choose default apps like we do on our macs.
I agree, and even if they don't move in that direction at least I can get rid of some of the apps that I don't use. I would assume that itunes and the app store would have to be included in the OS, but safari, mail, clock, etc should be in the app store.
You never want to be able to delete some of the core functionality of the device. I can see some of them, but the apps that function the hardware (Phone, FaceTime, Camera, Music, etc.) no way. Maybe not have them as app icons, but have them accessible in other ways.
Sent from the iMore App
Whether or not the built-in apps are on the App Store, I have always strongly felt that Apple should provide the option to delete or hide these apps. As it stands, I never use Apple's "Weather" [yet], "Stocks", "Newsstand", nor "Passbook" [yet]. I very rarely use the "Compass" app.
Its akin to bloatware from carriers, that people are so proud of not having on their iPhones, its Apple bloatware.
It's not bloatware, very small in size, but it is crap some of us don't need or want.
Someone needs to come up with a word...
I think it just makes the "non-geek", or not tech savvy look like they have a clue!?
I would love this, but it makes no business sense for Apple to do this. The individual app update feature does make a lot of sense however and I really hope they do this. They should also allow users to set defaults apps for mail, browsers and maps; I really want this feature now that Google has stopped Google Sync and I am forced to use the Gmail app; don't get me wrong it's a great app but I'd still like some further integration like Mail.app
"I would love this, but it makes no business sense for Apple to do this. "
Care to explain how that hurts apples business?
Because at the moment the majority of the iPhone users, who are largely clueless about any features beyond the obvious and the built-in, are stuck with the built-in apps and have no reason to stop using them. So why would Apple want to give Google a hand in luring them to the Google ecosystem by giving them more of a choice in what to use?
As I said, I personally would love this, but from a business perspective they would only be losing even more consumers to the Google ecosystem.
I disagree. I would envision that they would ship the OS with the apps but they would be updated via the store and also be capable of being removed altogether for the people that choose to. Currently people can already chose to use Googles eco system on the phone if they want to.
Hell, most don't even no how to DELETE their apps, let alone take a picture.
It's just a phone. Their simple amazed by the lack of tactile feel with a touch screen.
Been thinking about this in regards to iTunes Radio. Hard to believe they would exclude all the older iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS users out there. Can't see any hardware restrictions on those devices.
Whether they're in the App Store or not, I'd like to see more frequent updates from Apple. Especially with iOS 7 and how quickly they pulled that together I would imagine they didn't get to do everything they wanted to in mail, calendar, etc. Why should we have to wait until iOS 8 to get updates?
Don't you think having all apps available from the App Store would slow down the updates? If the OS apps are integrated into the OS, then that would force Apple to fix other bug issues, along with any app issue that they originally needed to fix, in a update pushed out. So I would rather, for the quality sake of my updates, have the apps stay integrated into the OS.
Sent from the iMore App
Presumably you wouldn't wait for IOS8, you would get the updates in IOS7.1, 7.2, etc.
I checked off "Other" because I'm fine with the way it is now, but it also might be a little more convenient if they change it, as I don't even use most of the built in apps. I have no use for them.
Usually, when apple needs to update iOS because of an app that needs fixes, it doesn't take them very long to do so. It's only an update for a few fixes, it's not like it's a major update with a bunch of new features. So basically, it takes Apple about the same amount of time to come up with a small update for iOS (only for a few fixes), as it does to come up with an update for one of their third party apps. So for me, the only reason I would rather them put the currently permanent apps onto the app store, is that it would give you a choice whether or not I want those apps on my device.
If they are preinstalled, there is really no need to have them in the App Store. If you can delete them and want them back, just reinstall them from 'not on this device'. I'd love more frequent updates, but it ain't gonna happen. It would cut into their claims of a bazillion new features hyperbole when they do their annual ios update.
I think it would be nice to be able to update pre-installed apps on an individual basis. Currently Apple has to issue an OS-level OTA update to fix issues or add features to default apps which requires carrier review/approval/etc. It would be so much easier, for example, just to push out a Safari update to the app store instead of through all the carriers.
There are tons of things i'd like apple to do. They aren't. Hell i wish they'd make itunes not bloated or laggy on windows. Not gonna happen. And if they fix that they'll just break or remove some other very needed feature in order to do something useless like add a colored background.
I voted other just because I would like to see Apple limit the number of stock apps to even less than what they have and put the rest on the App Store. You have to have things like the camera, contacts, music apps, etc built in and there is little need to update them. However, on stuff like maps, notes, etc, just give us the choice. I pretty much use Google maps and Evernote in place of the stock apps but the stock apps are still there cluttering up my device. However they do things in the future, they need to find a way to update stock apps without having to wait for an entire OS update to keep things fresh in a more timely manner. Example: There is no sense sitting on a major camera update for six months or more waiting on the OS update. That has never made any sense.
I want the ability, to remove preinstalled apps that i don't use. I don't know, why we are forced to not remove them. Also, the idea of Rene Ritchie to update apps (Safari or Maps) without pushing an ios update, is excellent. I hope that Apple, will move fast now with the software. They reinvented ios in such a short time so i see no reason for them for being slowly in software updates. I except this year the quick reply sms being added to ios.
If it would get us more frequent updates to specific apps, then absolutely.
I would love this, especially if Apple allowed their stock Phone app to be downloaded. And if it would mean updates to stock apps faster than once a year, then yes.
The stock (system-level) PHONE app? What would you like to see different that another app could tempt you with if this was ever possible?? Honestly curious
A clean interface and simplicity. I plan on using an iPad mini 2 as my cell phone come October, and I've been using Google Voice and text+ as my phone solution on my iPad. text+ has a cool (albeit Android) interface, and it's cool. But it has ads with no way to remove them, which is the worst. The Google Voice interface is kind of clunky. It's simply preference (and a little snobbery lol), so yeah. The stock app would be more consistent.
If I could delete them they can come installed. Not being able to delete or even hide some in folders is infuriating.
Sent from the iMore App
I'm with you on that! I think it is all fair game for Apple to have their pre-installed apps but there are some that really they should allow the buyer to remove from their phones and then if they then at a later date want to put them back in then allow them to be re-downloaded from the app store.
Things like Newsstand! That is something that I don't use, never have used and I very much doubt I ever will use. Now I know there are many that do make use of it and fair enough they can have it but I would love to be able to remove it or at least make it hidden so that I don't have to see an ugly fake wooden rack. Same with Passbook and Game Center.
At least if they don't to allow them to be removed they could at least make them hidden. I can count on less than two fingers the number of times I have run that Game Center and never run passbook or run newsstand and they just blight my little iOS landscape having them there. LOL
A simple solution wouldn't be to delete them, but to allow them to be hidden. You don't want a Noob to accidentally delete the Phone app and you want the Expert to be able to declutter the home screen. Another Idea would be to turn most of the apps into simple buttons and widgets in the Control Center, Notification Center and the Settings app.
Sent from the iMore App
Things like Newsstand, Stocks, Passbook, yes. Because I want to be able to decide what I put on here. Mail, Phone, Messages, etc. leave on the phone. Just make all of them folderable if you put them stock and don't let me delete.
Would be cool if we had the option to delete them at least.
This is how the bundled apps in Window 8 work and I quite like not having to have all the apps I don't use sitting on my system taking up space. I don't see any reason to object to such a thing.
I want to be able to delete Apple's built-in apps! My niece and nephew have no use for Stocks on their iPods! I also want to be able to change my default email app and browser!
