The enhanced iPod has the same sleek design with improved video battery life and brighter screen; it brings gapless playback to the masses; up to 80GB; new features such as instant search and enhanced games; movies now available in iTunes 7; excellent overall value.
The Apple iPod has added no major functions such as FM radio, wireless, recording; small screen not conducive to movie viewing; proprietary USB cable; narrow native video-format compatibility; body is still scratch prone.
The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player.

Apple's iPod Video has outstanding technologies: 30 GB or 60 GB (!!) storage, photo-quality display, the gret click-wheel interface. My favorite: the multimedia capability.
It literally is now possible to store your family's life stories _in your pocket_, to take with you or keep in a safe place. Pictures, voice recordings of grandma, old and new home videos (yes, up to 150 hours' worth), perhaps a favorite tv show, commercial, or movie you'll want to view later--or maybe pass around the family. Oh, and that ton of songs, maybe every family member's top ten (top hundred, etc.)? Living memories, time capsule, treasured family history; you can have all of these things, in one small, tough, easy-to-access package.
Music: Not much more needs to be said about the music capability; the iPod started the movement, and still leads the way.
Photos: Ditto; and the images are museum-sharp. IMMENSE storage capability; no need to carry tens of rolls of film on vacation, or a ton of memory cards either. Get the right cable, and download your camera on-the-go. Sort and view either on the iPod or on a larger laptop, desktop, or tv display easily.
Videos: While the availability of content grows by the week (we love LOST on it, the Pixar movies, the classic Hitchcok tv series!), the right software can transfer any video source to MP4 format for loading onto your iPod. Edit on your computer, format into MP4, and drag onto your iPod as you would a song. Use the optional cable and record directly from your camcorder. For playback, the $19.95 A/V cable lets you play on any tv. You might think you'd lose resolution moving from the 2.5 inch display to, at our house, a 53 inch rear-projection tb, but the image was terrific, at least for the Pixar products and the best show on tv, LOST. Imagine flying around the world several times, and having fresh, non-repeating movies and other shows to watch the whole time. In your pocket.
Cons: Wow; I'm going to have to get picky here. Sure, 20 hours of battery life for music, maybe 4-6 hours for video (I actually got around 8), could be kicked up. However, options such as in-car chargers or lightweight external battery packs probably add the kinds of flexibility you'd need to overcome any power concerns you might have. Display size: Sure, ARCHOS and EPSON have larger displays, and they look good; part of the trade-off there is the power consumption of these larger screens, their greater vulnerability to scratching. Solve a few problems, and we might want to ask Apple about those displays (or maybe a larger screen that clips onto the back of iPod, self-powered?). That's about it; but no one really has anything better, just different and not in as convenient a package. Reminds me of my wife---the best there is out there!
Buy and enjoy. This is not a daunting gadget. Bring it along as a trusted companion, one who can record and replay life's experiences for you and yours.
When I first had an IPod it was the 2007 classic, I wasn't really getting adjusted to the product because it was too new and upgraded to a low standard. But when I gotten the Apple iPod 5th Generation version, this was what I had been waiting for in a long time. To have a real long lasting iPod that can charge very easy and keeps the battery in the right position and doesn't run out quickly was a real gift to me. Not only was I very happy to receive the product but I enjoyed the features it came with, I can now add my podcast audio and video files, I can store many music I want of my genre's even though I like all kinds of music, I can watch my favorite television shows and movies with no rush or imagination. The iPod 5h Generation is like a real entertainment in the palm of my hands. And I will enjoy every minute of it guaranteed.
The iPod with video playback was introduced on October 13, 2005. However, one should not necessarily consider this player a video player, but a great iPod music player, with video capabilities as a fantastic bonus. Nevertheless, the iPod with video playback is the most capable and feature-rich iPod ever produced by Apple.
Video Playback - The iPod plays back H264 and MPEG4 encoded video. The iPod's new display is larger than ever at 2.5 inches, giving it a resolution of 320x240. What video content can you play on your iPod? This area is limited, at least currently. You can buy music videos on iTunes at $1.99 per song, which will play beautifully on the iPod. Furthermore, Apple has made available select television shows, for download on iTunes. They cost $1.99 per episode, for titles including ABC's hits Lost and Desperate Housewives. You can also watch the episodes you purchase on your computer. If you want to put some of your own video, onto your iPod, you will need to use an application such as QuickTime Pro to convert the video to the specific requirements to play on the iPod. You can also find video podcasts, which will play on the new iPod. Even if you do not plan to view video on the new iPod, its primary purpose is to be used as the world's best music player. You can still benefit from the beautiful new display, for it will help you find your favorite music faster, and you can view the album art that accompanies your music.
Size of new iPod - Does the picture of the new iPod make it appear larger to you? Well, it did to me. The iPod looked wider, in the photos I saw. However, it is not. The height and width of the iPod are identical to the previous generation iPod with click wheel. The only change in dimensions is the depth. The new iPod is actually thinner than what came before it! Yes, this 30 gig iPod is thinner than the previous 20 gig photo model by 30 percent. What does all this mean? The iPod continues get smaller, making it even easier to carry.
Capacity - This 30 gig iPod has room, for a lot of entertainment. With storage, for up to 7,500 songs, 12,000 photos, or 75 hours of video. The great thing I love about my iPod is that my music, photos, and video only take up about 15 gigabytes. However, I use the additional space to backup data, from my computer. This is incredibly helpful, and could be a real saver, if something happened to your computer. See, the iPod functions as an external hard drive, so you can backup all sorts of data. The 60 gig version is available, for $100 more, so if you want to use it for lots of video, or you have an enormous music collection, you may want to consider that larger version, which also sports longer battery life.
New Software Features - Apple has added features, to the new iPod besides video support. First, they have a clock feature, which quickly allows you to view the time, in up to four different time zones simultaneously. Furthermore, there is a stop watch, and a screen lock, which you can enable to keep people from snooping on your calendar and/or contacts.
Battery - The battery life is one of the most important specifications that you, as an iPod user, are going to care about. This 30 gigabyte iPod sports a battery that will last up to 14 hours, when playing only music.
Sight unseen (in person anyway), I purchased the iPod from the Apple Store in December 2005. It arrived promptly, and the first day I put all my MP3's on it. I did not yet put any videos on it, because I hadn't found a conversion solution to my liking. Accordingly, I will first discuss my first experiences, which were with music and the interface.
Aesthetically speaking, the iPod, especially the black model, looks amazing. The sheen of the material, and the smoothness to the touch offer an extremely stunning appearance that makes the product that much more enjoyable to use. The screen is 2.5 inches diagonal, but has a much greater size in terms of perception. This illusion is caused by the stunning level of brightness on the screen.
The famous Apple click-wheel design is no longer a mechanical part like in previous generations, but rather a touchpad designed by Synaptics, a company world famous for laptop touchpads. The style is unchanged though. It is still operated by making circular motions, and instead of a mechanical click, the sound is supplied a small speaker in the iPod, and through the earbuds.
As far as sound quality is concerned, this is largely variable, depending on several factors. On the iPod end of things, sound processing is handled by the central ARM7 and ARM9 processors. However, the iPod is not solely responsible for sound quality. Another large factor is the quality level of the encoding on a given song. The songs I tested were 128kbps AAC (Apple format, equivalent to 192kbps MP3), and 300kbps MP3. Naturally, the 300kbps MP3's sounded noticably better, as one would expect. However AAC produced acceptable sound quality as well.
If one is not satisfied with the sound quality, one of the approximately 20 different equalizer presets in the iPod can be useful. Be advised however, that equalizers require the iPod to process and change song attributes in real-time, which significantly decreases charge life on the battery.
The aforementioned iPod battery is an in-built lithium ion battery, not removable or serviceable by the end user. It is stated by Apple to last about 15 hours on music playback, and 3 hours on video. Both estimates are on the proviso that one is not using any equalizer.
Next I will discuss the video capability. The iPod can play videos that are encoded in the QuickTime H.264 codec, with the suggested quality profile of 320x240 resolution, with 128kbps stereo audio. The most prominent place to acquire iPod compatible videos is the iTunes Music Store, which offers TV shows, music videos, and other videos available for download, preformatted for iPod. If one wishes to convert their own videos, this is possible via QuickTime Pro, or a smattering of other applications.
Video on the iPod is extremely good quality, with good brightness and overall clarity. The LCD screen leaves some more contrast to be desired (as do all LCDs), but the backlighting seems to be perfectly even, which is a relief. Given the 4:3 (standard television) aspect ratio, and low resolution of the 2.5 inch screen, this is not a device that would make for a cinematic experience. However, such material isn't intended for this use anyway. The core material for iPod video is music videos and television, both of which are a pleasure to view on the iPod.
Overall, Apple's video-enabled iPod makes a superb portable media device which will provide endless enjoyment for the mobile music and video lover.
Ah, the Ipod. A marvel in it's own right. It can play music and videos, read text documents, and it even has a few games on there too. Better yet, you can acsessorize it! The Ipod 30 gig Video seems like the perfect gift to just about anyone, including yourself, right? Well, in my own opinion, I think it is. It's pretty user-friendly, certainly not too many buttons, and it works on both windows and macs. All you really need is the usb plug and you're ready to go. Apple has a website that covers just about everything you need to know about it, how to use it, what different symbols mean, etc. A couple of the only bad things I can think of about it would firstly be the battery life for videos. It's only about 2.5 hours (for only music, it's more like 14). Depending on what movie you watch, that may not be enough juice to get by, but luckily, there's an accessory for that! One of the other down falls, but really only a minor one, is that the bodys scratches and shows dirt and fingerprints easily. An easy way to this is to just buy a case for it for no more than $30, usually less.
Now that all that's covered, how well does it work? The sound quality i have found to be excellent. I'm not too partial to the little white earphones Apple gives you with the Ipod, but that's only because they hurt my ears. The video quality is stunning. The first time I saw a movie on my Ipod, I was awestruck. In fact, the quality is so good that you can buy a cable that lets you play movies/music from your Ipod through your TV (radioshack, $15). Yes, your TV. Granted, it will be a little pixelated, but I watched V for Vendetta from my ipod that i burnt from a dvd, and on the TV, the quality was about that of VHS. I think I'd rather carry around my Ipod and a cable than my VHS player and all my videos. In summary, a high quality machine. And it doesn't take long at all to charge. Something like 2 hours for 80% (from it being completely empty) and an extra 2-3 for the full 100%.
And what's more, there tons of stuff online that works nicely with the 30 gig Ipod video, such as Handbrakelite, which lets you save and play dvds (in proper format) on your Ipod. wow. There are various programs out there that let you boost the max volume of your ipod to your liking. And one of my personal favorites, Yamipod let's you take music OFF your ipod, which apple generally doesn't let you do. For example, you go over to your friend's house, and after asking to check out your new, totally cool sleek black (or white) Ipod video, your friend notices a song or video that he likes and doesn't have. All you have to do is plug your ipod up to his computer, open yamipod and copy the song over to his computer. bam. oh, podcasts, there are also podcasts.
In conclusion, I love the apple ipod video. It has become an obsession for me, and I hope it does for all of you potential ipoders. Good luck doing whatever your ipod related activity maybe, and happy biddings!

text: Incredibly overdue for Michelle, so naturally hugely thrilled for her. Seems a shame word is Rudy Galindo is griping so much. And a further thought, is a degree of concern that her induction itself will both overwhelm the competition itself and only serve to provide unflattering counterpoint to the lack of a current star of her magnitude. NBC and the media should do their best to highlight the QUALITIES that made her a champion, not just that she was the ideal (ladies champion). The other disciplines, in my opinion, most notably and obviously DANCE are chock full of worthy media attention, but are NOT getting them in favor of the usual, ladies singles is what makes the world go 'round for the average watcher/presumed target demographic.

Sooooooo looking forward to Gilles and Peta's Bollywood next week!!!
Sooooooo looking forward to Gilles and Peta's Bollywood next week!!!
Exactly what kind of dance style is "Broadway"? Chorus line? lol! Now I'm sad because we won't get to see it.
Helio First elimination that hurt.
Some of the celebs really lucked out. Melissa's jitterbug was what the judges chose as her breakout dance last week, Shawn did an excellent mambo her season, and Apolo and Karina both won with hip hop frees. (I was thinking maybe Apolo and Karina gave Melissa and Tony the jitterbug as a thank you).
I was really hoping Emmit would get contemporary, lol. I'm sure we'll hear about how his is the most sensual bolero evah. Val seemed really happy to get contemporary - does he have background in it, or does he just think it means he gets to roll around in a bed with Kelly like Erin and Maks did in their freestyle?
I'll miss Helio, he had a charm about him and I enjoyed seeing him dance. There were definitely others who should have gone before him, but he probably would have been off in a couple of weeks so it's not a "shocking elimination." I don't dislike Sabrina, but I don't care much about her either, so I'd also perversely enjoy seeing the judges freak out if she left early in the season again.
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
After watching tonights double elimination do you think there might be a bias among voters against those celebs that have already won DWTS?
I don't normally watch DWTS. I just watch a few dances sometimes. Tonight I got lucky and was able to see the top 3 scoring dances. They were WOW! Shawn & Derek were incredible in their athleticism and musical interpretation. Kelly & Vic were awesome in the Paso Doble, and Melissa & Tony were great in the Samba.
May be I will start watching this show. Having the all stars has really raised the quality of the dancing.
I was afraid to say this last night, but since Kirstie already said it I will too .... Maks totally looked like a drag queen in that wig! He looked so .... I don't even know what the word is I'm looking for. He did not even look like himself at all, at least not to me he didn't.
Can't believe Bristol is still on (well, yes I can). Based on dancing it should have been Bristol and Kirstie going tonight in my view, even though I like Kirstie, she's not as sharp as she was in her season.
that we won't get to see what kind of Broadway number Helio would have pulled off. I bet it would have been entertaining!
And what the heck is Bolero anyway? Of course I know the music, but its a dance style too??
Bolero is typically a slower paced dance that reminds many of rhumba.
Natalie and Alec had it on a previous season of DWTS
It will be hard to make it very memorable with some of the faster paced dances that promise to be more entertaining for audiences.
Anna is not the shortest female pro, Chelsie is. Helio is slightly taller than Drew, but neither is particularly tall.
In terms of height pairings, Bristol would go much better with Derek and Shawn would be a much better fit with Mark, who is either the shortest male pro or second shortest with Louis being the shortest. I actually think they're about the same height.
We don't really know all of what happened between Mark and Bristol, but I'd be really curious about Mark not showing up for a rehearsal. If he had it covered and some else was there to replace him, okay, but if he just didn't show then that's not good. Something is off with Mark this season. As always, I hate to defend Bristol, but maybe she's right. He stuck up for her throughout season 11, but maybe he's just not that into it this time. I think it is about Shawn. The producers never would have paired him with Sabrina because her participation wasn't known until a month after the initial cast was announced. It was entirely possible Kyle or Carson could have taken that 13th spot, so it would have been Lacey dancing instead of Mark. Producers wouldn't have risked not having Mark, as I believe he's perceived as being popular with the viewers.
I don't really get why Bristol continues to be so weak. She's young, she's fit, she's got a solid amount of experience in front of TV cameras at this point and she's capable of moving. As long as people are voting for her anyway, I wish she'd find a way to not be the worst.
As for Kirstie, I don't get why she's so weak. She's in vastly better shape than season 12, but she seems to be utterly inept this time around.
Thank goodness we don't have to endure Broadway next week. Everything else seems fine, although Kelly and Val doing contemporary could be a train wreck.
Mark said- twice- that he was sorry he was late for rehearsal. Late, not didn't show up. She's the one who said he didn't show up.
I just figured at the time he was late and she got tired of waiting and didn't stick around. I still think that's how it probably went down.
The look on Bristol's face was priceless.
She really seemed surprised to have "survived" elimination..
Kirsty does seem to be having more difficulty, this time. But, age is not our friend!
I don't think that Bristol has the ingrained "work ethic" that many of the celebrities do.
They want to do as well as they possibly can; for themselves, and for the public.
The effort required is an alien concept for her.
You have to want to do the work, also.
I doubt that she does.
If we go with the dance-as-romance analogies people start out with, cha cha is flirting, Am. rumba is seduction, Bolero's going all the way. It feels...stretchy to dance. It's gorgeous when done well. It's comic in a bad way when done poorly. (No prizes for guessing how I feel *I* always look..) Which is why I'm kind of worried. I cannot see this being something Emmitt takes to like a duck to water.
And again--Bristol's got good technique. She's okay playing to the cameras when that's ALL she has to do. But VERY often when she's dancing she gets that ZOMG PANIC look--what the others have isn't a work ethic, it's either innate skill (some performers just are born with it), or learned skill of just powering through when you realize something's gone wrong. There's a difference between talking to a camera (any person can talk) and having to perform a skill with which you're uncomfortable. A lot of the male athletes in previous season who haven't excelled tended to express this with the 'shuffle' look--you can't perform when you're self-conscious. Bristol does her best in closed hold, which tells me right there--when she basically CAN'T go wrong (Mark is not going to LET her, but he can only control that in closed), she doesn't panic. When she's suddenly sent away and has to perform without instant feedback, she gets that frozen look. (The one thing that some people do is the reverse--relax when they're doing separated work, choke in closed because you're suddenly under each other's feet.)
To me, Bristol looks as if she doesn't quite know all the steps. I don't know whether it's a performance issue - she's scared she'll forget something - or a practice issue - she hasn't put in enough time to make the steps come automatically so that she can think about how she does them.
Kirstie, on the other hand, looks as if she doesn't really care if she makes a misstep or two; she's more concerned with the how she's presenting them than the what of the choreography.
I don't mind losing Drew but Helio should not have gone home while those other two are still there.
I'd rather be thought of as absolutely ridiculous than as absolutely boring.
America, seriously why is Bristol still dancing?
Kelly has really improved since her first time on the show, She is getting my vote for most improved dancer, WOW!
Drew needed to go, but Helio could have stayed. Bristol or Kristie should have been out. I enjoyed Kristie last time, but for whatever reason, she's just not cutting it for me this time.
If this is to end in fire
Then we will all burn together

Commander's "fini flight"

New Year`s Morning
Image by ❀ღ Anne J. ONLY a night from old to new! Only a night, and so much wrought! The Old Year's heart all weary grew, But said: The New Year rest has brought." The Old Year's hopes its heart laid down, As in a grave; but trusting, said: "The blossoms of the New Year's crown Bloom from the ashes of the dead." The Old Year's heart was full of greed; With selfishness it longed and ached, And cried: "I have not half I need. My thirst is bitter and unslaked. But to the New Year's generous hand All gifts in plenty shall return; True love it shall understand; By all your failures it shall learn. I have been reckless; it shall be Quiet and calm and pure of life. I was a slave; it shall go free, And find sweet pace where I leave strife." Only a night from old to new! Never a night such changes brought. The Old Year had its work to do; No New Year miracles are wrought. Always a night from old to new! Night and the healing balm of sleep! Each morn is New Year's morn come true, Morn of a festival to keep. All nights are sacred nights to make Confession and resolve and prayer; All days are sacred days to wake New gladness in the sunny air. Only a night from old to new; Only a sleep from night to morn. The new is but the old come true; Each sunrise sees a new year born. ..........Poem by Helen Hunt Jackson Shropshire Union canal, Wolverhampton, UK. * * *

For so many Christians, "O Come, Emmanuel" was sung from choral sanctuaries and blasted from organ pipes at the back of the church this past weekend on the first Sunday of Advent. I'm going to guess that very few services featured such a stirring pairing of piano and cello.

Ah'-voh-KAH-doh OY-il
Avocado Oil, derived from the fruit of a tropical American tree, is a rich, fatty-acid emollient. Avocado Oil is known to be the most moisturizing of any fruit oil. It is also a natural source of Amino Acid proteins, Vitamins A, D, E, and potassium. Helps to restore the natural moisture of the skin.
le-min ik-strakt
This bright and zesty citrus fruit has long had a prominent role in cosmetics and aromatherapy. Lemons are high in natural fruit acids and have the highest percentage of Vitamin C of all the fruits. Its extracts from the fruit and essential oil (expressed from the peel) have astringent and antiseptic quality that freshens, stimulates and rejuvenates sluggish skin and adds lustrous shine to the hair. In aromatherapy, lemons inspire a cooling, refreshing and uplifting feeling.
ä-liv froot OY-il
A valuable oil for skin and hair care, olive oil has been used for centuries as a cosmetic and food by peoples of the Mediterranean region. The oil is obtained by cold pressing of ripe olives and it is the first press, or "extra vierge" oil, that is used for creams, lotions, hair treatments and ointments. Extra virgin contains a high level of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant vitamin E that moisturize, protect and nourish. It is very beneficial for dry, damaged, or split hair.

Besides some years on Adult Ballet classes, I'm not much of teknik, so unless it's really bad (Somova in her old days bad) I really don't mind.
And I meant your impressions from the live preformances you guys have been watching these days.
What I like about Darcey here is her portrayal of the role, the maturity (am I making sense here??). They just don't make them like that these days.
Ok, maybe Dupont, but I've never watched her as Gamzatti.

I own a Russian fur hat, its Rabbit fur and I bought it on ebay 2 years ago for like $65
It was a great deal and I think I look ridiculous wearing it but it's warm as hell. People just can't believe I am wearing it and they just smile right at me and I smile back and nod several times, LOL
One time a guy started laughing out loud at me and pointing, it was a very cold day. I told him "Tonight when your ears are frozen and in pain just think of me, I will be toasty warm, LOL" He shut up then! LOL
One day last year I saw this guy that works for a client of mine he must have weighed 90lbs. he was so skinny and small and he had a Russian Fur hat that was 3 times larger than mine, it was so ridiculous and hilarious. Someone told me that he bought it from Bergdorf Goodman.
Check out their website, it's so funny, the models do not look like they are having fun. It looks like they are saying to themselves, "Damn, I hope nobody sees me in these ridiculous hats!"

Poll: iPhone, iPad, or PC for browsing the web?
What's your absolute favorite device for browsing the web -- iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or your Mac or Windows PC? I'm a little torn myself.
The iPhone is great when I'm out and about and have no other options, but it's small and doesn't support Flash, and it's not a fast experience.
iPad is big and beautiful and I love it for reading and relaxing but it also doesn't support Flash and I can't type on it as fast as I need to for things like blogging here on TiPb.
My 11-inch MacBook Air is portable but not really mobile, so I don't have it always when I need it, but when I do it can handle every kind of web page imaginable and has a keyboard so I can easily whip up posts like this.
(We have an iMac in the house, but I almost never use it.)
If you had to pick one -- if you were stranded on Internet Survivor Island and could have only a single device with you for browsing the web -- what would it be, iPhone, iPad, or PC?
Vote up in the poll and tell me why in the comments! I'll reveal my answer on the next podcast!
There are 48 comments. Add yours.
i have only had my ipad for less than 2 weeks but already it is my go to web browser, it used to be my laptop but its too bulky, especially in the evenings on the sofa, now i dont even unpack my laptop when i get home from work, its straight onto the ipad.
Laptop only comes out when i need to sync
I have blocked Flash on all of my computers for almost a decade now. It is a non-issue. If a site requires Flash, I simply use a different site. There are so many options now that you only lose business by requiring Flash. I always send an email to the sitet though. Used to be I would either get no reply, or get a "thank you but we won't change" reply. But since the popularity of the iPhone and iPad these last couple years I have noticed sites are starting to reply with "a non-Flash site is in the works". So the future looks bright!
I picked other as I use the Powerful, Portable, BlackBerry PlayBook. That way I can take advantage of the WHOLE internet and still be using a tablet that will fit in my pocket, just saying... But either way, nothing beats a MacBook Pro or full computer for surfing the web...
iPhone on the go/out and about, tethered Cr-48 ChromeOS notebook when I'm needing a more thorough experience and a hybrid Windows PC/Cr-48 at home or the office.
I picked other because I use my Droid X most of the time, even around the house. The screen is big enough for most web browsing and it supports flash when I need it. Its mostly the convenience of being able to use it one handed since I have small children.
Interesting that you would even be reading, let alone commenting on "The iPhone Blog: the #1 iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch blog". Welcome! Everyone is welcome here!
My home pc has become obsolete. I only use it to sync my idevices and store my files. When I'm home, I use my iPad exclusively for web browsing. Obviously, I use my iPhone for browsing on the go. At work, I use the pc a little more often for browsing, but that's only when I'm sitting at my desk working on something.
My idevices have completely reshaped the way I browse and consume information...and watch TV. I forgot to mention that I use my apple tv for YouTube and netflix just about as much as I use my cable box. It's hard to believe that before I got an iPhone 1 in dec. of 2007, I hadn't owned even an iPod. Now I'm saving up for a MacBook pro.
"When I'm home, I use my iPad exclusively for web browsing... I use my iPhone for browsing on the go... At work, I use the pc..."
So, you'd use all of them on the island, even though you could only have one of them. Got it.
Behind desk: Chrome on MacBookPro 15". At home or travel: BlackBerry PlayBook*, lightweight on the run ;-) : iPhone4 /BlackBerry Torch
*and sorry, but indeed for the flash integration.
As much as I like her polls, I am starting to see a trend with them all. She types like how she would talk in a real life conversation. Do not get me wrong, I am no where near perfect myself.
Windows PC easily.
In studies, most people will type like they talk. You can almost tell of the author was the person writing, if you have enough known samples of their work.
I have an iPad and think it's great but not the best for web browsing. I am constantly annoyed by websites where the scroll function is messed up and the whole "two-finger" drag does not work as well as you'd think. It is almost more irritable trying to get the multi-touch dragging to work than not at all. I still prefer my Windows-based browsing or my OSX or Linux
Before buying an iPad Touch, I was on the computer daily checking emails, and searching. I now only use it may be once a week. Everything else can be done on the iPod. I am waiting for the iPhone 5, and will also get the current iPad 2 or 3. Off subject, when is apple going to drop the numbers? In the distant future, will there be an iPhone 15, or iPad 27? I guess by then it will just be called the iPhone, or iPad.
Georgia- Seriously, who gives a crap about flash. I don't even want to hear about how the iPad doesn't support it.
I prefer the iPad for browsing.
Productivity decrease when using ipad for web browsing.. its great for news, but tasks take longer when using it for web.. not to mention its slooooooower..
iPad touch? How bad did I spell iPod for spell check to do that. I need coffee. Sorry
YOu should just instead refer to it as the "iPad nano". That's what my email sig says. :P
I love these people who say oh i dont use flash its not a need ur right its not needed buy its for sure a want i wont get the ipad because it dosent have flash end of story and i know alot of people who agree just not isheep
I simply hate flash. Always have. Since long before I ever touched an Apple product - so it has nothing to do with being iSheep.
It is visually unappealing. It is processor hungry (even on Windows PCs). It is used by people who should not be designing applications, and as such almost every Flash app violates user interface guidelines. Flash ads are distracting and un-needed. Flash has many security concerns, and poor privacy tools. Flash content for websites rarely follow standard interface paradigms making each website more confusing for novice users (like grandma and grandpa). Flash is not ADA compliant, and works poorly with screen readers or color-blindness settings. Flash does not allow for proper indexing and search-ability. Flash is a proprietary format controlled by a single company (Adobe).
Anything that can be done in Flash can be done in HTML 5.
Flashblock is an old, established, and well appreciated and highly used browser plugin - having nothing to do with iProducts. The only thing I am thankful for from the iProducts is that they have made not using Flash mainstream.
Seems to me like the only "sheep" are the ones who blindly latch on to Flash because it has "Farmville" or whatever (even though the iProducts have like 100,000 just as useless time wasters).
"Flash is a proprietary format controlled by a single company (Adobe)."
iOs is a proprietary system controlled by a single company (Apple).
That is how the world works...
iOS is an operating system, required to use an iDevice. Flash is a web product expected to be used by anyone anywhere on any device. Completely different situations.
Flash has an open and standard alternative in HTML 5. iOS, and even Android in very specific flavours are required to run hardware.
You can use a website with any device, but you can't run an iPad with any OS. If you don't like iOS you are free to buy a different product. But websites are in the business of attracting users - and the best way to do that is with standardized and compatible technologies.
"You can use a website with any device"
I can't use a Flash website with a device that doesn't support Flash. And since more devices support Flash than don't and most non-tech businesses don't care to spend more money on redundant development than they have to, a lot of web sites still only offer Flash interactive media.
...I think I love you...
After 2 years of browsing on iDevices®, I can sincerely say that lack of Flash has never been a big deal with respect to what I normally do on-line. Have I hit a few sites what I got a "you need Flash" notice? Sure, but not on any site I really wanted or needed to access.
I have a Windows PC and I accept the numerous Flash updates that pop up every few days (I'm a slave to any update), but I've never once run to that computer to see what I was missing by not having Flash on my iPad. Maybe if I played a lot of on-line Flash based games I would feel different, but until someone points me to a site filled with Flash required awesomness, I'll continue to roll my eyes every time someone says "but you don't have Flash". Yeah I do (on my PC), and it's even the latest version, but I honestly don't care.
Nothing competes with a pc with a 23' monitor screen... PC with no doubt...
One thing I feel is that the iPad was a product that no one knew what it was or how to use it. iOS 3 and iOS 4 were predominantly iPhone and iPod oriented and as such combined with the newness of the iPad - made it kind of a strange thing. However the iPad took off like gangbusters.
I am pretty sure that iOS 5 will have a much better feel for where it wants to be, especially with regard to pad type devices. We are just now starting to understand how a pad device like the iPad (or competitors) can and will be used - and what it is good for. So the OSs and the apps will start to come into their own this next year and they will be MUCH more stiff competition for the PC.
Additionally, our company is now developing all of our web products with iOS as part of the core strategy and design. This was something we hadn't done before this year. Our previous versions of web products bordered on unusable on iOS or Android platforms but our new products in the pipeline now will be fully designed for the new "mobile" space. I bet a lot of companies are doing the same - and as such we will see the usability of devices like an iPad get better and better, and the need for most users to have a PC will diminish. As it is pretty much the only thing I do on my PC anymore is work and photo organization+storage.
I would say iPad 2, then iPhone, then iMac.
11 in. Macbook Air... No matter how much ppl hate flash, it is everywhere. Until that changes, I cannot have an iPad. I only really use my iphone browser for quick google searches
I can't remember the last time I ran into Flash... so it's not really EVERYWHERE...
If you want it to be more obvious when you're "running into" Flash you could set your browser to not auto-load page plugins. My browser shows a "play" button for every Flash element on a page and requires me to click that button to actually load the element.
South park studios, espn, cnn...3 sites I always am on 3 sites that use flash in one way or another
Shocked that computers are winning. NOT
I will always use my imac or macbook pro for more power browsing. And my iphone or ipad for quick of lighter browsing.
Well, if I were really stranded on an island, chances are I'd have no reception (as there'd be no cell towers) and no way to charge up my iPhone's battery, so it'd be kinda pointless to have it with me for any real length of time, except maybe to signal a passing plane or ship (There's probably an app for that too. LOL). But assuming I could still get a signal and charge it up somehow (like maybe with a solar charger), it'd have to be my iPhone 4, as it's the only device I have. Since I've had it, I don't even use my 24" iMac that much anymore, as I do the vast majority of my web browsing and e-mailing on my iPhone when I'm out and about. AT&T provides pretty solid reception in my area, so my browsing speeds over 3G are plenty quick enough. So my iMac has become relegated to being a big docking station (a "home base," if you like) for my iPhone, for synching with iTunes, watching something on the big screen (when I actually have time to!), or doing the heavy-duty stuff my iPhone simply can't do as well or efficiently, e.g. editing long documents, video, audio, & photos. I've ended up using my iPhone for way more things than I ever thought I would, so my iMac tends to sit unused for a week or more, and I end up having to dust it off. LOL Now I'm seriously considering selling it and replacing it with a MacBook Pro, since it's portable and outperforms my nearly 3-year-old iMac anyway. Later...
She did mention you would be stranded on an island with internet.
But if we WERE talking about being stranded on a deserted island and what we'd want I'd have to say a sat phone with GPS link and solar charging panel so I can be found easily!
Oh, OK. I guess that was implied by "Internet Survivor Island." Got it... And yeah, a sat phone with GPS and a solar charger would be ideal for that kind of situation.
Was the point of splitting up the different PC operating system options to fice the iPad an artificial lead? Otherwise, if you were going to do that you should have at least thrown in Android Tablets as an option.
With only one to choose from, I'd have to take the Mac. I bounce back and forth between tabs and windows frequently, and neither the iPad nor the iPhone do that well (nor are they trying to). Flash is a bonus, I suppose, but not a big deal either way for me.
Like macboy15, I use my Mac for "power" browsing, and iDevices for lighter tasks. I am actually surprised by how little I use my iPad even for those lighter tasks -- it is better browsing experience than my iPhone, to be sure, but most of the time, when I am away from my computer, I already have my iPhone in my pocket, and I can do what I want to do on it well enough that I do not bother to go over and pick up the iPad.
Exactly; I'm away from my iMac most of the time, and I almost always have my iPhone with me, so I do the bulk of my web browsing and e-mailing on it. If I had an iPad, I'd use it more than my iMac as it's portable, but I'd still end up using my iPhone more than the iPad as it's almost always with me in my holster.
Put MAC, PC, and Linux together in 1 desktop/laptop category vs the others, and the desktop/laptop wins vs ipad.
I think the answer splinters into task related directions and will evolve over time as this is really becoming more of an app issue. For news/information the iPad is hands down winner. I use News360 and Flipboard a lot...makes scanning for articles easy and the iPad allows me read away from home, in the kitchen, during my daily constitutional, everywhere. But for general browser related searches/surfing, the desktop/laptop is much easier...larger screen to accommodate the page better and a real keyboard.
Bottom line is that we are an impatient society that yearns to be spoiled and will flip allegiance to the app/device that gives us the biggest warm and fuzzy. I think that iOS will evolve along with its apps and within the near future the desktop/laptop will become the specialized device that Jobs talked about a year ago. Add voice-to-text as an input option and there will no turning back from the iPad...though it will be another one of those devices that has us all walking about like homeless people mumbling to ourselves. Better yet, the brain implant that lets us communicate directly with all our devices....I for one welcome our new computer overlords.
I use my PC and it's mostly because alot of websites do not function properly on my iPhone. I can't even vote in this poll on my iPhone. I only use my iPhone when not around a computer and it will probably be like that for a long time.
I chose other simply because I will surf on whatever device is handy. If I'm sitting at my iMac I use my it. The same goes for the iPad. If I'm completely mobile I use my iPhone. The iPhone is my least favorite way to surf. The iPad has spoiled me in that regard.
Definitely PC, for now at least. I would love to say the ipad, but there are so many compatibility issues, mainly flash. Im quite tired of not being able to view a website because of what they use, and I hate that apple expects the world to convert to their preferences. The web offers a wide variety of formats for many things, and I hate that the ipad is only compatible with some of them.
To all the people who still claim to be dependent on flash: apparently, youporn works a treat on iPad, no flash required.
You guys must not have the need to type while surfing the web. Because if you did you'd realize that the best way to surf is a pc or mac..or eventually a chromebook. I think people are forcing it to confesss their love for the ipad. The greatest thing about the ipad is ease of use of the tablet optimized apps. The layouts are beautiful and functional but its definitely not better for surfing the web
I have had my iPhone for a couple of years and my iPad for only a few months now, but I'm kinda annoyed at myself for preferring my phone for web browsing when both devices are in front of me. It's just easier, less of a commitment if that makes any sense. :/

For those who enjoyed the Live in HD broadcasts, just letting you know that, there will be more operas available this summer in your movie theaters!
As a continuation of the HD series, they will show a 'best of' operas from recent seasons, I guess. They will be Aida, Romeo &Juliet, Eugene Onegin, La Boheme, Turandot, Madame Butterfly, and Carmen. Six of them will be shown in the US meanwhile only four will be shown in Canada. More info is at the Met's site.
Although I saw Aida and Carmen, I think I will see all the 4 that's showing here. It's worth it to see them on the big screen.

Now this is a little creepy. It sounds as though we are dismembering skaters.
Why not start a thread that addresses flaws of various skaters instead of a separate thread to criticize every young Russian skater? I am wondering who will be the next victim?
A lot of skaters wear gloves. What's the deal with asking about gloves. I don't understand why so many are so intolerant of the wearing of gloves. The other stuff is just - don't care
Im fine with Julia wearing gloves in every competition
its sort of her trademark now
Is it particular gloves you don't like, or any gloves worn by any skaters?
She's so often getting herself into and out of contortionist positions that who even notices her hands?
Then Julia shouldn't take it personally.
I pretty much always wear gloves when I skate, so it seems normal to me. Rough ice can damage bare skin sliding on it.
The ice can really tear the skin on the hands to shreds, I'm surprised they all don't wear gloves.
Sent from my KFTT using Tapatalk 2
IronLady.......Thanks for the discussion. It is the break at the wrist that I find distracting and unattractive. It is accentuated because of the gloves (if there were also a color break from costume to hand, it would not be as noticeable.
I noticed the same thing this weekend with Mirai when I watched her performance at Nationals. That break in the line, to my eye, is really unappealing. If you watch someone with fabulous arms and hands, like Joannie or Sasha Cohen you can see that they use their arms all the way to their fingertips................there is nothing flailing around at the end of their arm.
DH - and that's just my opinion
I think for me it is particular gloves. I liked Vanessa Lam's gloves from a few years back. It helped her look for Danse Macabre. She only wore them for that FS. Sometimes it gives the skater a distinctive look, and other times gloves are an essential feature on the costume like Chouinard's 1994 American in Paris. What I wonder is why for every costume Julia chooses gloves, and why some ladies seem glove-happy as well. Stotnikova looks better without gloves in my opinion.

What's wrong with you, theironlady? Why do you feel the need to belittle and attack these skaters? First the Chinese and now the Russian. Are North American skaters so much better, or do you simply have an agenda to spread your coldwar mindset? Even dare I say you are just a closet racist and bad at hide your prejudice?

why parson didn't do that in the first place and try to convince Stanely to pick a different CW.
Parson was doing just that.
Yes, but that's not what i was asking, what i'm asking is why didn't parson argue with stanely over the position AFTER Maggie "suggested" he make parson CW and convince stanley to change his mind and give someone else the CW position, instead of heading right into the magic kingdom. Only answer i can think of would be that Parson knew that the suggestion spell would make it impossible for him to convince Stanley
You are of course assuming that you can simply promote CWL's freely as you wish without consequence or restrictions. For 1 I don't believe it's as simple as saying "I choose you to be my CWL" even though that's how they made it look. Simply put if you could just change CWL's on the fly then it would be as simple as flopping warlords in the middle of turns as it best suited you. Remember this is turned based combat, just because you have war on all sides doesn't mean you have to make them engage at the same time.. so you've got a battle going in 3 spots, oh look lets make my CWL the guy leading assault number 1, then after they succeed or fail or run out of move, then we'll make our CWL the guy leading assault number 2 and so on until your side is out of move and you end your turn. Furthermore I'd have to assume that changing CWL status off of your turn would be even more restricted, after all you wouldn't want the enemy to all the sudden promote a CWL in every hex you decide to attack on the fly like that, lets keep in mind stanley (formally a CWL of his own side) started out as a basic grunt unit, it was only after he found and attuned to the hammer that he started moving up the chain of command. With that knowledge in mind there isn't really anything stopping them from promoting stabber number 3 to being the CWL of their side, except the lack of a bonus. So if anyone could be a CWL then allowing them to be switched at will would lead to way too much abuse.. IMO there are rules that govern the leaders ability to change their CWL and you can only change CWL's once on your turn or whenever they get croaked/captured.
Of course this too can have ways to abuse and I'm sure there might be a parsons clog on the subject at a later time but if you had 2 forces working together but not allied. Since it is possible for 2 enemy forces to enter the same hexes and not engage with the control of a warlord, it would be very simple to flop warlords by having your Chief Warlord unstack as your need for him finishes in one area and have him walk alone into the "Friendemies" (yes its my own word thats a combination of Friend and Enemy) hex to be captured, then you promote the next guy and move on, when your Friendemy starts their turn they release your warlord into your hex and proceed to do the same with their warlords as needed.
However at any rate I think that its safe to say that at least until next turn there are rules in place that prevent stanley from opting to switch his CWL, unless parson was to be captured.. which the thinkamancer guild may or may not count as capturing him... I don't think they work for any "Side" to speak of, so can a non-side like marbits and/or gobwin tribes, or in this case a thinkamancers guild in the neutrality of the magic kingdom actually capture a unit (with his permission of course) and allow stanley to pick another CWL? That I don't know

The printed edition from which this e-text has been produced retains the spelling and abreviations of Hakluyt's 16th-century original. In this version, the spelling has been retained, but the following manuscript abbreviations have been silently expanded:
— vowels with macrons = vowel + 'n' or 'm'
— q; = — que (in the Latin)
— y[e] = the;
— y[t] = that;
— w[t] = with
This edition contains footnotes and two types of sidenotes. Most footnotes were added by the editor [Goldsmid]. They follow modern (19th-century) spelling conventions. Those that don't are Hakluyt's (and are not always systematically marked as such by the editor). The sidenotes are Hakluyt's own. Summarizing sidenotes are labelled [ ] and placed before the sentence to which they apply. Sidenotes that are keyed with a symbol are labeled [Marginal note: ] and placed at the point of the symbol, except in poetry, where they are moved to the nearest convenient break in the text.
"This elaborate and excellent Collection, which redounds as much to the glory of the English Nation as any book that ever was published, has already had sufficient complaints made in its behalf against our suffering it to become so scarce and obscure, by neglecting to _republish_ it in a fair impression, with proper illustrations and especially an _Index_. But there may still be room left for a favourable construction of such neglect, and the hope that nothing but the casual scarcity of a work so long since out of print may have prevented its falling into those able hands that might, by such an edition, have rewarded the eminent _Examples_ preserved therein, the _Collector_ thereof and _themselves_ according to their deserts."
Thus wrote Oldys (The British Librarian, No III, March, 1737, page 137), nearly 150. years ago, and what has been done to remove this, reproach? The work has become so rare that even a reckless expenditure of money cannot procure a copy1
It has indeed long been felt that a handy edition of the celebrated "Collection of the Early Voyages, Travels and Discoveries of the English Nation," published by Richard Hakluyt 1598, 1599, 1600, was one of the greatest desiderata of all interested in History, Travel, or Adventure. The labour and cost involved have however hitherto deterred publishers from attempting to meet the want except in the case of the very limited reprint of 1809–12.2 As regards the labour involved, the following brief summary of the contents of the Second Edition will give the reader some idea of its extent. I refer those who desire a complete analysis to Oldys.
Volume I. (1598) deals with Voyages to the North and North East, and contains _One hundred and nine_ separate narratives, from Arthur's Expedition to Norway in 517 to the celebrated Expedition to Cadiz, in the reign of good Queen Bess. Amongst the chief voyages may be mentioned: Edgar's voyage round Britain in 973; an account of the Knights of Jerusalem; Cabot's voyages; Chancellor's voyages to Russia; Elizabeth's Embassies, to Russia, Persia, &c.; the Destruction of the Armada; &c., &c.
Volume II. (1599) treats of Voyages to the South and South East, beginning with that of the Empress Helena to Jerusalem in 337. The chief narratives are those of Edward the Confessor's Embassy to Constantinople; The History of the English Guard in that City; Richard Coeur de Lion's travels; Anthony Beck's voyage to Tartary in 1330; The English in Algiers and Tunis (1400); Solyman's Conquest of Rhodes; Foxe's narrative of his captivity; Voyages to India, China, Guinea, the Canaries; the account of the Levant Company; and the travels of Raleigh, Frobisher, Grenville, &c. It contains _One hundred and sixty-five_ separate pieces.
Volume III. (1600) has _Two hundred and forty-three different narratives_, commencing with the fabulous Discovery of the West Indies in 1170, by Madoc, Prince of Wales. It contains the voyages of Columbus; of Cabot and his Sons; of Davis, Smith, Frobisher, Drake, Hawkins; the Discoveries of Newfoundland, Virginia, Florida, the Antilles, &c.; Raleigh's voyages to Guiana; Drake's great Voyage; travels in South America, China, Japan, and all countries in the West; an account of the Empire of El Dorado, &c.
The three volumes of the Second Edition therefore together contain _Five hundred and seventeen_ separate narratives. When to this we add those narratives included in the First Edition, but omitted in the Second, all the voyages printed by Hakluyt or at his suggestion, such as "Divers Voyages touching the Discoverie of America," "The Conquest of Terra Florida," "The Historie of the West Indies," &c., &c., and many of the publications of the Hakluyt Society, some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the undertaking. I trust the notes and illustrations I have appended may prove useful to students and ordinary readers; I can assure any who may be disposed to cavil at their brevity that many a _line_ has cost me hours of research. In conclusion, a short account of the previous editions of Hakluyt's Voyages may be found useful.
The _First_ Edition (London: G. Bishop and R. Newberie) 1589, was in one volume folio. It contains, besides the Dedication to Sir Francis Walsingham (see page 3), a preface (see page 9), tables and index, 825 pages of matter. The map referred to in the preface was one which Hakluyt substituted for the one engraved by Molyneux, which was not ready in time and which was used for the Second Edition.
The _Second_ Edition (London, G. Bishop, R. Newberie, and R, Barker), 1598, 1599, 1600, folio, 3 vols. in 2, is the basis of our present edition. The celebrated voyage to Cadiz (pages 607–19 of first volume) is wanting in many copies. It was suppressed by order of Elizabeth, on the disgrace of the Earl of Essex. The first volume sometimes bears the date of 1598. Prefixed is an Epistle Dedicatorie, a preface, complimentary verses, &c. (twelve leaves). It contains 619 pages. Volume II. has eight leaves of prefatory matter, 312 pages for _Part I_., and 204 pages for _Part II_. For Volume III. there are also eight leaves for title, dedication, &c., and 868 pages.
The Third Edition (London, printed by G. Woodfall), 1809–12, royal 410, 5 vols., is an excellent reprint of the two early editions. It is very scarce, a poor copy fetching £17 to £18. Since this edition, there has been no reprint of the Collection.
I have taken upon myself to alter the order of the different voyages. I have grouped together those voyages which relate to the same parts of the globe, instead of adopting the somewhat haphazard arrangement of the original edition. This, and the indices I have added to each volume, will, I hope, greatly assist the student. The maps, with the exception of the facsimile ones, are modern; on them I have traced the presumed course of the journey or journeys they refer to. The illustrations I have taken from a variety of sources, which are always indicated.
