A career in accountancy can enhance both economic status and social mobility, says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) today in response to Alan Milburn's review of social mobility for the Coalition government's Fair Access to Professional Careers.
Andrew Leck, head of ACCA UK says: 'While the accountancy profession is not in the media headlines today, it does get a commendation in Milburn's review for having 'consciously constructed ladders of opportunity that allow non-graduates to enter and progress in a professional career.' This is good news, but my sense is that we cannot rest on our laurels. Together with the medical, legal and journalism professions, we need to work collectively to share best practice to ensure change.
'For ACCA, the key is to ensure that those from disadvantaged backgrounds are as able to access the professions as those from more privileged backgrounds. ACCA is firmly committed to ensuring fair access to accountancy and we welcome the Coalition government's focus on social mobility. We look forward to working with them and other professions through Professions for Good to move forward the social mobility agenda.
'ACCA stands by its founding principles, established in 1904, to broaden access to accountancy. We still aim to provide opportunity and access to people of ability around the world and to support our members throughout their careers in accounting, business and finance. ACCA continues to believe that increased diversity and mobility in the UK will enhance business performance.'
Facts about ACCA and social mobility:
- ACCA supports the Business Compact on Social Mobility, launched in spring 2011.
- ACCA is a member of Professions for Good and is working on the Social Mobility Toolkit, advocated by Professions for Good as a means to monitor social mobility progress within the strict parameters of data collection regulations and rules.
- ACCA's ongoing work on social mobility was highlighted as an example of 'best practice' by the Cabinet Office's Access to Professions Panel report, published in 2009.
- ACCA offers a number of flexible routes to accountancy qualifications, from the new Foundations in Accountancy suite of qualifications through to exemptions that are available for the ACCA Qualification itself. ACCA also offers access to a bachelor degree with a Master's degree en route via Oxford Brookes University. Over 3,000 students are registered onto ACCA's new Foundations in Accountancy suite of qualifications – proving that access to a career in finance with flexible entry and exit points is in demand.
- ACCA UK works with schools, colleges, academies and universities to promote accountancy as career; we also work with the 8,500 employers globally who choose to train their staff through the range of ACCA qualifications; and as an employer by recruiting openly and fairly, ensuring non-discriminatory practices.
- For a student completing the ACCA qualification in five years, the average cost of ACCA registration, subscription and examination fees is approximately £1,455. The additional cost of tuition fees would be dependent on the method of study the student or employer chose.
- 48% of the ACCA UK student base is female and 48% of ACCA UK's students are non-graduates.

June 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part I)
Update 07/05/2012: June 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part II)
A (first half of the) month living dangerously…
June has come and strongly confirms that Summer is the preferred month for Cybercrookers: just look back at June 2011 and you will probably remember the days of Lulz of the infamous LulzSec Collective (which curiously seems to be reborn!).
June 2012 has shown a remarkable number of incidents and is proving to be a mensis horribilis (horrible month) for Social Networks and Online Services in general, due to the high profile breaches of LinkedIn, Last.Fm, eHarmony and the online game League of Legends.
On a geographic scale, looks like China is becoming another important source of Cyber incidents, having been targeted from #TeamGhostShell, who claim, inside their #ProjectDragonFly, to have obtained up to 800,000 accounts from different sources.
Hacktivism-led actions seem (apparently) to decline, whilst, on the Cyber Crime front, a new collective, UGNazi, is taking the scene, having confirmed, in the first part of June, the wake of cyber attacks, we have become familiar with for some time.
Another Infosec Summer promising to be very hot!
If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 (regularly updated), and follow @paulsparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.
Also, feel free to submit remarkable incidents that in your opinion deserve to be included in the timeline.

So we have been going with the Netflix blu-ray monthly plan for a while and for the most part are satisfied. I chose the disc because at the time the streaming selection just plain sucked. The quality of the streaming was not too bad, just the titles were horrible.
For some reason, since I am a disc subscription, Netflix does not allow me to see what is available for streaming titles (unless I am missing something, I would just like to see what streaming titles are available).
So my question is, has the streaming selection gotten better? Last I was able to see this was about a year to year and a half ago. If the selections are better and they have up to date, modern titles I may switch.
Anyone have streaming thru Netflix? Your thoughts?

I have done quite a few upgrades over the last year, and the last two upgrades were adding a Pass Labs XP-20 preamp, and two Pass Labs X600.5 amps. I chose the pre based on comments I read on this site, along with reviews in magazines and other sites. I felt my previous pre (Cambridge-Audio 840E) was the weakest link in my electronics at the time. Another factor was price. I wanted the upgrade to be around $5K, and the Pass dealer made an offer on a piece a demo gear that was only a bit higher. So, I bought it, and was pleased with the result. A month later, after too much beer on the 4th of July, I decided I needed to upgrade my amps to go with the pre. Once again, the dealer made me an offer on demo amps that was $8K off list. This made the Pass amps only slightly more expensive than my mental $12K budget for two amps.
Anyway, it appears the new gear has burnt in, and is working/sounding just freaking great.
Since May 2012 I have upgraded my speakers, DAC, rack, power cables, interconnects, pre, and amps. Now as I sit here listening to the system I realize everything has come together, and is working as a team. I used to wonder what people meant when they say "the speakers disappear", and now I know. There is sound in front of, and all around the stereo, as if it just appears. It isn't from the speakers. It is just there in the air. A wide, tall, and deep soundstage, and it just sounds so good, clear, and precise. I cannot describe how pleasurable this is, and I really have no desire at this point to try and make it better. Everything is just working fine. Whether as background music to calm the mind while trying to program, or doing critical listening at each note, or just being blasted by pounding rock, this system is close enough to perfect for me.
The funny part is I have felt that way about every iteration of stereo I have had, so I know at some point I will start going "What if I upgraded the ......" But for now I am very, very happy, and am not to worried about upgrading.

I know you guy know how awefull Circiut city demo room's sound.But Yesterday took the cake.
My partner has been looking for a nice speaker system to go with his theater.He owns the Yamaha rxv1,Sony dvpns900v DVD/SACD Progressive player,Pioneer Laserdisk,Mitsubishi HDTV dss satellite,Mitsubishi 46" HDTV tv,Tivo,he is currently running RBH inwalls for 6.1 and he has a Polk Audio pws1200 sub.He loves his sub as it can just about detach his house from the basement,but he feels the inwalls lack for music playback.His theater sounds great for movies.He comes over my house and he loves the way my theater sounds.Music he feel's his system can't even come close.So now hes on a quest to but new speaker's.Our store carries the very best in speaker's from around the world.I don't think you could find a better selection then our's under one roof.But that come's high prices even at our employee discount.
Around here(Phila area,Pa)there's only a couple places you can here Polk's go(as Bryn Mawr Stereo now Tweeter doesn't carry Polk's anymore)You have Circuit city,The Wiz In new Jersey,Interstate Electronic's on the other side of New Jersey,and some small hole in the ground places in New York.So We went around listening to Polk's in all these places trying to put together a system that would work well with his room and gear.No places that we demo'd even came close to sounding anywhere near as good as my setup does.
Circuit City took the cake yesterday ,they have the new rti100's and we were pumped to here them go,but we knew we were going to get a less then a good demo but with hope on our side,we hoped for the best.We used a Harman Kardan avr7000 ad it sounded like hell,Onkyo 898 was even worse,so I went out to the car to get some usic of my own as the salesman selection was less then....well you understand.They still had a Pair of rt1000i's (which I Own in P's)and they sounded so bad I would have to say my clock radio had better overall performance.This was embarrising for me,as I love my rt1000p's and know what they can do with great wire and a good amp,but not in here(circiut city or ****ty should i say).I just about wanted to get all of my Polk's out of my house as people that never heard Polk's,go to circuit city and here that and think,Man those speaker's suck real bad,I can go to Best buy,spend less and get better sounding speaker's.I know thats not true,but if you can't get a good store demo,how the hell do you spend a thousand dollars and 1 pair of speakers?Do you do it and prey they sound ton's better when you get them home?How do you convince someone that they will?I know they will sound awesome at my partener's house,but he has his douts.Interstate electronic's in east new jersey off of rt36 has a good selection of Polk's even LSi's but there's no where to demo them.They have this dark room with big screen tv all over the place,**** piled up everywhere,the messyest store I have ever been in.But there prices are just about wholesale and the salespeople are very nice and know
something.We listened to the Lsi 15's VS the rt1000i's,running a Yamaha rxv1 and It sounded good but not as good as my setup.The Lsi 15 sounded good but didn't blow away the rt1000i's like I expected them to.
I personally would love to upgrade my system,but I can't because I haven't had a demo on Polk's anywhere that sound better then what I already own.My stuff sounds great, but I'm building a Theater and want to upgrade.My partner wants new speaker's like's my system but can't here a good demo other then my house.
It suck's so bad the Polk can't get into better store's and gain more respect for there great product's.

Update, 2:34 p.m.
A 47-year-old male and 39-year-old female who are married both suffered gunshot wounds at their Grumman Avenue residence Monday morning, and the man's wounds are life-threatening, Wilton Police announced this afternoon. No one else was home at the time of the shooting, which occurred at approximately 8 a.m., police said.
Both victims were still alive as of the press briefing at 2 p.m.
The couple had children, police said, though they weren't sure how many. Those children were in school at the time of the shooting, and school officials had made the appropriate steps to get in touch with the children's emergency contacts.
According to police, after she was shot, the female was able to make it to her neighbor's residence where she called 911.
"She was able to speak to us," Captain John Lynch said.
After responding to Grumman Avenue, police found the woman at the neighbor's residence and located the male in the adjacent home.
When asked whether the man was the one who pulled the trigger, police said it was too early in the investigation to determine that.
"We're in the middle of our investigation, so we're not making any assumptions at this point," Lynch said.
Police also couldn't disclose where the man and woman were shot.
Lynch said he wasn't aware of a history of domestic calls coming from the residence where the couple live.
"That's one thing we are checking," he said. "That's part of our specific investigation."
Chief Michael Lombardo said they're not looking for suspects.
"We're not looking for anyone at this point," he said.
Police said they believe a rifle was used in the shooting.
"The Wilton Police Department is actively investigating this incident and has contacted the State Police Major Crime Scene Investigation Unit to assist with the evidence collection," Lynch said.
More information will be provided when it can be released, and police asked the public to think of the family members and respect their privacy.
Update, 1:39 p.m.
The Wilton Police Department announced it will brief the media at 2 p.m. about the shooting on Grumman Avenue earlier this morning.
Original article:
Two adults were injured after gunshots were fired at a private residence on Grumman Avenue, Wilton Police announced Monday morning.
According to a press release sent by Wilton Police Captain John Lynch, officers responded to the residence at about 8 a.m. after receiving a reported call of gunshots fired in the area.
"Upon the arrival of officers they located two injured adult parties who were subsequently transported to Norwalk Hospital," Lynch said in the release. "Both injuries appear to have been the result of a gunshot."
Lynch said the case remains under active investigation, and the department hopes to release more information "at a later time."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "White currants, honeyed citrus, and melons are present in this medium-bodied, richly fruity, slightly smoky white Graves. It should drink nicely for 5-7 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is big, rich and long. Still tastes like must. Hard to taste, but should be fantastic. I love the richness and spice."

I am very happy with my experience renting with Uncle Bob's. Having never rented a storage unit before, I was unsure of the process.

The only problem I had was being able to find loading carts and the one I found was broken. I do understand this was right after the big flood and I believe some people were not returning the carts to the proper places. I believe if you would check on you carts more often at least the one I did find would not have been broken. But luckily I did have a small household moving cart in my truck and I did make it work for me.Barbara from Pensacola, FL

I read the book and as graphic as it is; she is a remarkable woman. How she found the courage to adapt and raise her daughters, I have no clue.
I'm so glad she's doing well now.
What I found really amazing was that she had her first baby at age 14, and her second at age 17(16?). That is really young to carry responsibilities of motherhood, but she did a great job of it. Even though the circumstances of their birth was horrifying, she sounds like she has always had unconditional love for her daughters. That is so remarkable.
I hope the rest of Jaycee's life is kind to her. After the torture she endured - not abuse, perverse torture, sexual and psychological - she deserves it.
NJL (...1st a father that seems to abandon her & never even tries to contact her until after she's found and freed, then a step-father that seems to see her as a bothersome impediment to his life, then Phillip...to say that the men in Jaycee's life have not been the cream of the crop is an understatement......)

Personally I have no interest in reading this book and I am somewhat bemused by all the people who are pushing others to read it who don't want to. It seems to be going beyond the usual "I read this great book and I recommend it" into "you have a moral obligation to force yourself to read this book whether you want to or not."
Um, no. I don't.
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
There are certainly a lot of "you can do it!" posts including the one right above mine. To me, that's pushing. You are free to disagree, of course.

There's a lot of suffering and injustice in the world. We each pick and choose where to invest our emotional capital (or actual time, labor, and money) in acknowledging the horrors, supporting the survivors, and trying to make things better. Not everyone is going to choose reading a book they find disturbing as their top priority.
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
I'm just squeamish and fussy about my choice of reading materials. I hated the Helen Keller and Anne Frank books every time we had to read them for school. They were intended to be inspirational, but I found their stories sad and depressing, as a grade-school child through high school and college. Also hate stories about wars and battles, murders, and most non-fiction. (Told you I was picky) I'd choose a sci fi, fantasy or romance novel any day...or any book on figure skating, of course.
Again, she wasn't complaining that people wanted to talk about the book, she felt that several people were "pushing" others to read it who stated that they did not want to do so. I read those posts the same way. As well-intentioned as they may have been, they weren't "recommendations," one was an outright guilt-trip.
I really admire her also, but I, too, couldn't read the book. The excerpts were hard enough to read. I have so little free time once after tending to my son and getting chores done, that I really prefer light reading when I do have the time. I probably wouldn't sleep a wink if I read the full book--serious books like that haunt me. Reading about kidnapping and torture is just a horrifying topic and freaks me out.
I hope that writing this book was (a) theraputic for Ms. Dugard and that (b) she makes a lot of money and that she can take care of her girls needs for the rest of their lives. No amount of money can make up for what she went through but I hope she will be comfortable and the bastard rots in heII.
"awwww....shades of Janet Lynn" - Dick Button on anyone who makes more than one mistake in their program.
The State of California awarded Jaycee $20,000,000 in compensation in July of 2010 for it's errors in investigating her abduction and, especially, in Garrido's various parole officers, he was on parole for a 50 year sentence for abduction & rape, not thoroughly investigating his property in over 60 visits there.
Hopefully, the ongoing therapy she's getting, along with the availability of sufficient $$$ to keep her going & taking care of her children, and, I suspect, her extended family, will provide her with all she needs to recover from this ordeal. Having watched Diane Sawyer's extended interview with her, which convinced me I should read the book, BTW, I feel she'll do well. In that extended conversation you meet a delightfully happy soul that hates no one, considers herself blessed and seems to greet each day as an adventure to be embraced and devoured. Fantastic young woman. She deserves every good thing that life can now bring her.
Mr Garrido has a prison sentence of several hundred years to life. From what I can gather he's kept in the same unit as Charles Manson, because if either of them is ever let into the prison's general population they'd be soon killed by some con out to increase his street cred inside. Consequently, he spends 23 hours a day locked in a small room. He'll spend whatever time he has left there. If this is true I find it very appropriate & pleasing. He pretty much has a life like he forced on Jaycee. He deserves it.

Last week when I posted our follow-up BlackBerry 9630 Review and took a look at OS 4.7.1, I made note that from what I had been hearing it appeared 4.7.1 in its current form on the 9630 would essentially be the same as OS 5.0 running on the Bold and Curve 8900 once updated (essentially, 4.7.1 will get re-labeled and become 5.0 at some point, as will 4.6).
Well we can wonder no more to similarity of 4.7.1 and 5.0 as the proof is in the pudding.. or.. err... more like the video after the jump. A fan of CrackBerry's got us some footage of OS version 18.104.22.168 running on a BlackBerry Curve 8900 that I've pieced together and uploaded for your viewing pleasure.
BlackBerry OS 5.0 Running on a BlackBerry Curve 8900
Like the 9630's 4.7.1 operating system, OS 5.0 on the Curve 8900 shows off all the same new improvements - trackball 'flicking' through photos, media memory statistics screen, Storm-like menu buttons, and more. We're hearing the web browser is still making incremental steps forward (it's apparently better at allowing you to scroll down the page even before things are fully loaded) and I think the coolest part of 5.0 is the new start-up screen. It still takes a while for the BlackBerry to load up, but gone is the 'white screen of death' in favor of a black screen with a BlackBerry logo and an actual indicator which shows the boot progress. BlackBerry Messenger also gets some tweaks.
For those not familiar with 5.0, you'll want to check out the BES 5.0 article Craig put together back in February after the RIM Enterprise briefing we attended in NYC. In the enterprise space, when RIM rolls out BES 5.0 (Argon), RIM devices will also get an update to 5.0 software just to keep things simple and in alignment. We've previously looked at some of the improved end-user functions coming in 5.0 like better mailbox and folder management and follow -up flags... now it's nice to see some of these other new tweaks will be included as well. Good on RIM for keeping the lineup current - it's nothing revolutionary, but it's yet another nice evolutionary step. RIM has been gearing-up for a BES 5.0 roll-out for WES this year (gotta love these acronyms!) so it won't be long before we're hearing a lot more 5.0 news.
Pure Awesomeness!!!
1jaxstate1 Apr 6, 2009 at 3:02 pm
So why aren't these release officially by the carriers.
cpuking2009 Apr 6, 2009 at 6:54 pm
RIM learned there lesson with the storm i guarantee that will never happen again.
hbxdjinn Apr 6, 2009 at 3:03 pm
I like those new features!! Those are definitely something to look forward to.
UrbanGlowCam Apr 6, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Doesn't seem THAT much different than the 4.6 OS but I like some of the added features. Hopefully it's a lot faster.
I'm more concerned with the Storm's 5.0 though. I'm really curious as to how that'll be improved. I'm hoping it'll be released for all Blackberrys at WES.
nedqadams Apr 6, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Shouldn't 5.0 be something big? It's pretty disappointing that they just added some colors.
Stromson Apr 6, 2009 at 5:29 pm
I have to agree, that looks and feels like an incremental upgrade that should just be a 4.6.2 or a 4.7.1 kinda thing, versus a full blow 5.0, which by its very name sets up expectation of a more complete makeover. So far all we've seen are some cosmetic changes, a few new functions to give you more control over your data, and that's about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm very exited about these updates, but I think RIM might be shooting themselves in the foot by calling this "5.0".
Blue Shift Apr 7, 2009 at 7:19 am
For those of us running 4.5, this is a huge update...
paulo76 Apr 7, 2009 at 7:27 am
Let's have some more nice fancy fonts RIM!

When is threaded SMS coming. It's needed badly.
AnonymousBerry Apr 6, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Amen to that!!! WE NEED THREADED MESSAGES!!!!
BBpixie Apr 6, 2009 at 8:56 pm
ditto on that!!
azwillnj Apr 7, 2009 at 1:46 am
I want this so bad! winmo has it.. and winmo is worse than a dumb phone.
alexcross Apr 21, 2009 at 2:59 pm
I would LOVE to have threaded SMS...
matthew_i Apr 7, 2009 at 8:41 am
What exactly do you guys mean by threaded sms. The blackberry already shows you the last sms messages you sent and received in a neat list.
I am not even sure it is possible to do threaded SMS messages properly. Do SMS messages contain an identifier for the message they are in reply to? If not, your phone would have to guess which thread the message is related to when you get a new message.
Someone please explain this for me.
deloreancowboy Apr 7, 2009 at 11:11 am
They want SMS's to show up as tho it was an Instant Message.
matthew_i Apr 7, 2009 at 12:00 pm
That explains it. Threaded SMS (although that may be what everyone calls it) is not terribly descriptive... Are you guys seriously up in arms about a minor feature like this? Really? Put some of that energy to convincing your friends to get blackberries and then you can just use blackberry messenger. Threaded SMS would make things a little easier though... To each his own I guess...
coolsoundingme Apr 7, 2009 at 5:12 pm
That's not threaded SMS. Threaded is when you go over the 160 character limit and the phone automatically "threads" it into a new message. Every phone I've had for the past 5 years can do that, save the Blackberries.
MarkusALC Apr 8, 2009 at 7:56 pm
My 8900 does this, yours not?
icky2unk Apr 10, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Threaded SMS is what iPhone has. That is what threaded SMS is. It would be amazing for BlackBerry to get. Makes it very clean.
yujianfei2 Jul 7, 2009 at 9:44 pm
can not agree more! I like current BB's SMS interface, but I would say the iPhone's SMS interface is just awesome
UrbanGlowCam Apr 6, 2009 at 3:10 pm
I think they want to keep the OS to look like they always have. That's fine with me, as long as they make it perform much better.
bp22_ca Apr 7, 2009 at 2:17 am
I agree, I have no problem with them leaving the look/interface the same but I would hope that the underpinnings of the OS would be improved. I.E. more speed, added functionality.
Looks good. Great as always Kevin. I'm a big fan of consistency so I'm glad to hear there is going to be greater level of it across devices. I plan on buying a 9630 so I'm psyched that it will be keeping up. Are Storm users going to be left out in the rain though so to speak?
cyclepipe Apr 6, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Oh please let a build be leaked for the Bold soon. I know a lot of these improvements are incremental but I'll take an upgrade where I can get one. I'm running 184.108.40.206 right now and it is pretty damn fast, so I'm eager to see what kind of impact 5.0 will have.
I don't mind the OS, but seriously, where the hell is threaded messaging? I completely agree with whoever else said it. All of the other 'smartphones' have it. It can't be that hard to write.
Please. Let's get it? :(
dupe again...
uh, dupe.
ddarvish Apr 6, 2009 at 3:25 pm
i want threaded SMS. it really isnt hard because BBm does it so i dont understand why they just can do it with SMS. it is really annoying!
AZN.M3NACE Apr 6, 2009 at 3:25 pm
i want this 5.0 os now... probably has a better battery life! lol
Sirhill Apr 6, 2009 at 3:27 pm
This os has gotten my motor running so to speak. I want this now. Is this something that is going to be on just an update to all of the bb that are out now. If so how long do I have to wait.
Does anybody know if the BlackBerry App World will com pre-installed on future versions of the OS?
webchetan Apr 6, 2009 at 3:29 pm
I want OS 5.0 on my 8900 now! Thanks !
benzworm Apr 6, 2009 at 3:34 pm
the start-up still looks painfully slow
shorynot Apr 6, 2009 at 3:34 pm
This os looks great, im hoping for the same thing as the above poster....better battery life. I love the new bootup screen, and scrolling through the pictures.
Is there any word whatsoever as to a release or beta leak of this os?
the brother Apr 6, 2009 at 3:38 pm
cool sh---------t!
Nico350Z Apr 6, 2009 at 3:41 pm
I'm with UrbanGlow on that one, I want to see how much the Storms OS has improved, I've been playing with a few iPhones and G1's lately and I REALLY want flick scrolling on my storm! It would make things so much easier and faster. The start up screen is nice it makes it look more elegant then some ugly blank white screen. Let's cross our fingers Storm owners!
c_is_for_crackberry Apr 6, 2009 at 3:49 pm
im running 220.127.116.11 and its fine, some of those new features look pretty good, whats threaded SMS and why is everyone wanting it
SquirrelNuts Apr 6, 2009 at 6:12 pm
If you'd ever used a later Palm Treo/Centro or an iPhone (sorry, it was the one messaging feature they got right) you'd know exactly what it was. It's a little thing but it makes SMS so much more useable. In threaded SMS you have a conversation, just like MSN or BBM.
Appears on the phone display something like:
You said:
Your contact says:
You said:
etc. etc...
sheerheartattack Apr 6, 2009 at 10:36 pm
...but I don't understand how that is very different from what is currently offered. I mean, I'm sure it's slightly different, but where's the real benefit? After clicking on a message, I already see the last X messages between me and the selected contact, with who sent the message.
sheerheartattack Apr 6, 2009 at 10:41 pm
Double post.
official update for storm OS.
Nelimungous Apr 6, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I dunno I just cannot stand that theme...they need new RIM built themes. I will likely stick with the T-mobile theme I like even though I use ATT.
olta777 Apr 6, 2009 at 4:47 pm
what about flick scrolling???????
jclisenby Apr 6, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I'm a storm user, but seeing how well 5.0 is working on this curve really helps to keep me optimistic. I have seen how well and how fast the OS works on other BBs and I know that our phone will catch up soon. 5.0 looks great and I can't wait to see it rolled out for the entire BB line.
viemataray Apr 6, 2009 at 5:08 pm
I have a Verizon Storm, May I have a unlock Code for that?
I called verizon and told me they could unlock it because the phone was just activated last February, they will just unlock my phone after 6 months. =(
I cant wait for that... Please help. I have my IMEI number
pleaseeee =)
thanx a lot
PoopOnU Apr 6, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Really? No one wants to hear your whinning because no one can help you... go buy an unlock code.
Personally, I think you should be stuck with an locked phone just for being annoying and stupid.
Ash_786 Apr 6, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Where's the good stuff ? You can open pictures faster ? Is that it ? And they made a whole new OS version for it.
fantom1023 Apr 6, 2009 at 5:39 pm
1st off, viemataray, go buy an unlock code if you want one so bad, no one here can/will help you with that for free.
2nd The storm already has flick scrolling!! Go to your pictures and give it a try!
Lastly, the OS looks sadly familiar to be such a huge jump in builds! Compared from 4.2 to 4.5/4.6, the 5.0 is disappointing in my opinion! Dont get me wrong, the added features are nice, but it looks just like my Bold and Storms OS at the moment with a couple added options and features. Nothing that big to me. I want a copy to see for myself!!
Unfortunately I don't know how the 8900 usually runs to compare. Wanna impress us? Show us a Storm running this!
AnimalPOP Apr 6, 2009 at 5:54 pm
i want this please and thank you :)
MetalH3D Apr 6, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I read on CB that 5.0 OS will also support apps loaded from SDcard. This is what will shuttle in stronger, more memory intensive apps since the onboard is so tiny, it shud be fully dedicated for RAM.
Can't wait to install infinite apps!
I use Aerize Card Loader to store, install and run apps from my media card. Its really nice cause I don't have to ever worry about filling up the device memory. You can get it at shopcrackberry.com.
I highly recommend this app to anyone with a BB.
I love the new flicker on the pictures.
I just discovered that the menu hold brings up the app switch on my bold already (running .247).
Overall though, i'm a bit disappointed. I really thought that when 5.0 came out it would be a big change and maybe something revolutional. It's just some minor tweaks...I still love you Blackberry!!
why is javalin getting so many OS updates? Where are the fixes for the Storm?? com'mon rim
It should be Illegal for RIM and Verizon to release a phone like the Storm and its sh!tty software and them release the storm2 in september 09. Im gonna be sooooo pissed if they do. Havent even fixed the initial device and their already working on another?!? mother effers!
shaydakiss23 Apr 6, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Who the heck gave any official word on a Storm 2??? I wouldn't believe that nonsense. There's no way they're gonna release a Storm 2 in September. Stop believing every thing you hear!
cpuking2009 Apr 6, 2009 at 7:01 pm
is everyone complainging about threaded sms? my storm supports it. at least i think it does it has the entire conversation with the contact. all in a row is that not threaded? i can hover over the message and do it with email to huh?!!!?
Looks great. Although OS 184.108.40.206 allows the menu hold--> application switcher.
Looking forward to even slicker OS in 5.0. It would be cool if there were a few breakthroughs though. Kind of expected when its a fresh start at X.0.
Any word on when this might be leaked?
blingdogg Apr 6, 2009 at 7:09 pm
hope it hits the storm!!!!
Busta-B Apr 6, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Just let me know once it leaks for the Bold!
HotCelica Apr 6, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Just because it is labeled 5.0 doesn't mean it needs to be a HUGE overhaul. If anyone has used a Storm for more than a week and then went to a Bold/8900 then you can see HUGE differences and want them now. I could care less what they call it, I just want to get personalized SMS/MMS ringtones for each contact, I like to have a different SMS tone for my GF than everyone else and I had that on my Storm. I should probably just stop reading comments on posts since nobody can be happy about getting a new OS, everyone must complain about something, do us all a favor and quit BB and join all the Tweens that have an iPhone. Seriously, it is an UNFINISHED OS and nobody knows 100% if it will not have more added features by the time of release. The reason why it doesn't look like a complete overhaul is because its using the DEFAULT theme. They obviously didn't add a new theme yet and why should they. Most of you have a BB just for a status symbol, not because it's actually useful, so again I say, you want a complete overhaul with each and every new OS, go buy an iPhone. RIM doesn't have 800000000 programmers to be working on 1000 new features all at once and it will come in time. It's a matter of making money, RIM is on a schedule set by the carrier and if they cant keep their end of the deal to finish by that time then they lose money. Sorry that RIM is out to make money and not make you babies stop crying.
shownuff Apr 6, 2009 at 8:41 pm

shownuff Apr 6, 2009 at 8:42 pm

jtrick33 Apr 6, 2009 at 8:54 pm
Agreed. Still not the official release....and I like the changes I do see.
johnnybbads Apr 6, 2009 at 9:33 pm
I go to school here in Waterloo and benefit directly from RIM making money, and I promise its nice. It sounds a lot like you must be very important using your blackberry, important enough to complain about other people. I expect your girlfriend is really depressed you can't tell her sms's from the "800000000" other people who text you.
Jeffdc5 Apr 6, 2009 at 7:37 pm
very nice I can't wait for this thanks for the preview
kingbee8 Apr 6, 2009 at 8:04 pm
I want it now lol does it have a official realease date?
Please, oh please let this be released for the 83xx devices...
I know a lot of you guys (and gals) with fancy 89xx, Storm and Bold devices don't see this release as a big deal, but I suspect that RIM is just trying to get everyone on the same OS, and I hope they won't forget the original Curve users.
We've been stuck back in the dark ages of 4.5 for so long...
matthew_i Apr 7, 2009 at 8:52 am
Huh? I just got into the "Dark Ages" with my 8830. OS 4.5 combined with a new 2 GB microSD card makes me feel like I got a completely new phone! I don't have my hopes up for 5.0 on the 8830 though, but the 9630 will be here soon enough.
cexshun Apr 6, 2009 at 10:17 pm
So this pile of happy horse shit is RIM's next gen OS? Well, I'll be leaving BB when the time comes to get a new phone. Get with the freaking times people! Palm released the same OS over and over again with a new icon set for a decade! Look where they are now! RIM is doing the same damned thing. I predict by 2015, we will view Blackberry the same as we look back on Palm Pilots now. What a waste...
rockwilder Apr 6, 2009 at 11:14 pm
The real major upgrades are in the BES system which is being updaed to 5.0....the ONLY reason they are releasing this as 5.0 and not 4.8 is to keep things consistant...its not hard to understand. So no, there are no major upgrades to the OS but there are major upgrades to BES so TOGETHER it is a big upgrade.
Very well said.
matthew_i Apr 7, 2009 at 8:56 am
Yes. Everyone please realize that if they called this 6.0, it would still be an incremental upgrade. 5.0 is JUST A VERSION NUMBER! That's all it is. It's like when you turn 45. The day before you were 44, and today the only thing different is your version number :).
In other news, incremental upgrades are often better than huge jumps because the more features you add to some software, the more bugs you add. Take the storm vs bold for example. Over time all of the little steps add up and you realize that you have come a long way.
the bold 1 Apr 7, 2009 at 12:05 am
if the video recording size was upped to some better quality such ass the bolds level that would be the best
Thanks for the video!! Now the big question is.. When will it be out?? T-Mobile to release an OS usually takes forever. Let alone RIM. Can't waittttt!!! lolz.
jaybrad Apr 7, 2009 at 1:18 am
I noticed when he brought up the memory statistics in the media app it only showed 12.7MB of device memory free.
Sorry, but if that is all that remains after installing the 5.0 OS forget it. Either he's loaded up with tons of 3rd party apps & emails or the OS is taking up all that space.
My 8900 shows around 123MB free memory with about 20 3rd party apps, emails etc. with the 4.6 OS.
Performance would start to suffer with only 12.7MB of device memory left, at least it did when I had my 8320.
I'll pass on 5.0 if that's the case.
UrbanGlowCam Apr 7, 2009 at 1:27 am
In response to jaybrad's post....maybe not as much device memory is needed since the external memory can be used now for applications now. I still don't know why the device memory would be that low though. Shouldn't it be higher? Weird....
masboy98 Apr 7, 2009 at 5:41 am
hmm.. im sure ive seen that thumb before.. :D
jay_man33 Apr 7, 2009 at 10:00 am
i hate u...
deloreancowboy Apr 7, 2009 at 11:27 am
What I want?
A. Improved battery life. As it is my battery lasts about 3/4 of a day using Viigo, TwitterBerry, MySpace, FaceBook, BeeJive, and iSkoot on a regular basis.
B. Faster loading times. Both on battery pull and loading of applications.
C. Faster GPS. Apps like Google Maps takes forever on the "Waiting for GPS" screen. When GPS is found it's about half a minute behind.
D. Faster push of corporate e-mail on BIS. As it stands I get my GMail before my computer does. But MS Exchange takes it's good time.
Basically everything else is unessential. Sure threaded SMS would be cool. And flipping through pics would be soo much easier. But they are not a make or break of a phone.
Of course I am judging based on an 8900 running 188.8.131.52.
geoffm Apr 7, 2009 at 11:37 am
I want, I want, I want...
and I want it now!
Please :-)
dylanledbetter Apr 7, 2009 at 12:21 pm
So once OS 5.0 lands on 83xx devices, will we be updated with the new Precision themes found on all the recent devices? Or will we be stuck with the ugly old Dimension theme?
conceptv Apr 9, 2009 at 4:23 am
i think im most excited about the flicking through photos. that is something that should be on old ones to begin with. i even spent a regretful 5 bucks on swooshphoto to get this similiar effect.
Matt12345 Apr 9, 2009 at 5:11 am
This is hopelessly outdated. Get an Android, a Palm Pre, or at least an Iphone... I don't understand why people still get these things...
what is wrong with that pic. i cant believe you all are not up in arms. with the storm we have a gap but that's because the screen moves and folks complain. why is there a gap on that phone are you 8900 complaining about dust or pocket lint? also SMS should be dropped since it seems like every wants to send a long boring text message which is what sms is not for its for short messenger system. we should have mms and email screw sms then you all would be happy goats.
Michael Duensing Apr 17, 2009 at 12:58 am
I am wondering if this os 5.0 will work on the 8310. Just asking.

can my current themes be used with this OS? Or would I still be able to download themes from nancy drew for exampleÉÉ
bullet421 May 10, 2009 at 2:08 am
Does everyone need to cry over an improved system. The upgrades are gonna keep comeing and we will keep DL'ing them and slapping that shi% on our phones til we or the phones die. Shut up if ur complaining. Otherwise rejoyce in flick scrolling on ur pics "nice" and somehow file sharing through a new "Files" feature in your downloads folder if u can figure out the latter congrats! Seriously though folks without all the numbers its just another system upgrade, just take that stuff and impatiently wait for the next one to come out. Just cause it is 5.0 dont mean ur berry is all the suden a mustang V8. If everything was fixed at the same time all that shi% would be screwed up! Ill take small fixes over none at all. Oh yah, QUIT CRYING. p.s. if this message in no way applies to you please make some kind of attempt at not being offended.
bullet421 May 10, 2009 at 2:19 am
so i guess i just read the first page of cry babies and before i responded only to find after i posted that a couple other guys have the same openions as myself, so sorry bout the plagerism next time ill start by reading the last page before responding. oh yah QUIT BITCHIN

Anyone heard much about this series coming to AMC in October?
Looks pretty intriguing for us zombie film loving folks, and apparently they're going to focus on building a good group of characters, their survival, and the slow erosion of their humanity.
I'm considering adding cable back to my bill list for a couple of months for this one as it's only supposed to be 6 episodes if I recall correctly.

Thank you so much for giving this spot to Benson.
I am not sure about Benson being able to share a crate, he is a big boy, he could fall asleep and smash poor little MIKE.. and it might take a fight by Mike to try to wake him up... He is use to sleeping with other animals, but they can get away, when the wrinkles start flowing from him.
Again, thank you so much... I will help you get a flight for Mike.. or ground transport. I will also put up gas money to help.

Man this thread is bringing back a lot of good memories. Thanks, guys!
Crazy about sports!
Favourite ones that I saw live-(and neither skater was a home country skater)
Kevin Van der Perrin in Mississauga 2003 (Free skate). He had been 11th in the short and off the radar. His Robin Hood free skate (3rd place in the FP) was wonderful, and he landed everything he needed to and won over the crowd.
(This next one is obscure- I doubt there's a video of it)
4ccs in Hamilton 2004. Miguel Angelo Moyron from Mexico. He had barely finished the short- ending at least 15 seconds after the music and landing nothing of note- I think he was last or second last). In the free he came out and did everything he could (Sals and Toes, I think- I don't remember if he even had a loop) and skated with passion and enjoyment- at least half the audience stood up for him. He managed to move up to 17th and was thrilled.
That's why I love figure skating.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
(Edna St Vincent Millay)
Very nice post, cygnus. This is why I love figure skating too. I love the programs where people do excellent jumps or even achieve new results, but I also love the people who don't necessarily have all the jumps, yet give everything they have in that program with great artistry and even though they have no chance to medal, still skate for the joy of skating.
I was there and it was truly amazing. I always wished I could see Michelle Kwan have, or in her case, have another "skate of a lifetime". Had the opportunity to meet her the summer prior and asked if we would see her in Atlanta. She told me she hadn't decided. Sure enough she was back to compete, I was there to see her, and she had another skate of a lifetime. And yes, the whole arena was on their feet at least 30 seconds before she even finished. We were crying, she was crying, it seemed like everyone was crying. A moment I'll cherish and never forget. Thanks Michelle!
Oh, yes, I remember the Mexican skaters in Hamilton. They didn't spin so much as hop in a circle, but they had such a love of skating. They got SOs just for showing up and being so happy.
There's always this one:
Tonya Harding 1991 US Nationals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3P7wxwMMUU
"I hit him with my shoes... if he had given me the medal like I told him to, I wouldn't have had to hit him!" -- 8-year-old Rhoda Penmark in "The Bad Seed"
My favorite will always be the standing ovation LONG before Mishkutenok & Dmitriev finished 'Liebestraum' at the 1991 Worlds IMHO the greatest pairs performance of all time
^Just watched it. Breathtaking!
This skate by Elvis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l87lYOEagVg. His "comeback" skate at 2001 Skate Canada in Saskatoon, after battling injuries for a few seasons. I was there live, and the arena was electric. Standing O when he took the ice, then you could hear a pin drop as he started the program. The crowd went bananas every time he landed a jump. He had a fabulous skate, and the standing O started again while he was in his final spin. I was near tears the entire time; Elvis was my favorite skater growing up, and this was my first time seeing him compete live. Amazing moment!
Most of these programs did not receive a standing ovation long before they ended.
