Im an Android guy...but my wife's poor busted up iphone needs to go..and she would love one of these.
I am entering this contest not for myself, but for my mother. While she was in the hospital for 2 days and asleep taking a nap someone stole her iphone 5. The hospital (Memorial Sloan Kettering) claims that they do not have video cameras inside the patient's rooms or in the hallways (wish I personally think is bs).The phone itself was turned on and I tried using the find my iphone app to locate, but the person who stole it, disabled and turned the find my iphone app off. She loved her iphone 5 because it's easy for her to use. I explained my mother's situaution to AT&T and they told me that I could not get my mother a replacement iphone without paying full price (I upgraded her phone last December). So I would love to win this contest for her. If anyone else is selling a white or black 16 gig iphone 5 for a reasonable price please contact me also because the prices on ebay are too high and I would like to get my mom a phone as soon as possible.
The reason why I love the iPhone so much is because it's a device like no other. It makes life simpler. You don't have to carry around a bazillions devices because they are ALL in the phone. I've had the iPhone since the 1st gen brick iPhone. Never looked at another phone twice. The reason why I love I more is because they always post amazing articles and they keep you in the know of all apple. They make you feel a part of the team.

I love Apple and iMore because I'm not into celebrities and this is my TMZ. Apple the ne'er do well celeb and iMore the shrew team ready and waiting to take Apple to task for not being the role model she should be, or praising her when she does well. I salute you fine folks
Own Ipad mini, 2 MacBook pros, iphone 5 and ipod 4, apples are better than oranges ;-)
How could anyone not love Apple and/or iMore???
.................................still waiting.
I love Apple because it's NOT Android and I love iMore becuase they are giving away a free iPhone. What more can you say....
I love apple because they are the leader in tech.
Very excited to see what Apple unveils today! Been a long time iMore + Mobile Nations sub site reader since I can remember - you guys always do a fantastic job with the content you post. Been following this contest all month on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Google+.. would love to win a $500 gift certificate to use towards the next iPhone! Have an old HTC Android phone right now from 2010, really need a new phone.. fingers crossed!
Apple makes great products and imore is the best place for all things Apple!
While my love for Apple has not been shown on this site, I can contest that I love my 2009 macbook, itouch, and classic ipod. But honestly, I feel like I am missing something... That thing is an iPhone. Thanks iMore for this opportunity!! Lots of love.
I am a hardcore android fanboy but iOS7 excites me! Mostly the look and the new airdrop capabilities but the fingerprint reader also has me intrigued!!
And did I mention how hard it is to choose a color for a iPhone ? Imore can give you a free phone but good luck choosing a color !
Never had an I phone before so that'd be one heck of an early christmas present!;)
I Love Apple & Steve.
I love iphone and everything apple. I remember growing up in school when they introduced some of the first apple computers. In high school they had those ones with the color back on the monitor. Man I feel old saying that right now. I love imore because they have got me out of some pickles when my phone isn't working. Over all one of the best sites and one that a frequent on a daily basis so I know what is happening in the world of apple.
Oh so much, on both accounts :P
iMore > Apple
fingers crossed. hope I win this time!!
Imore and Iphone what a great combo.
Who remembers when imore used to be "Tipd.com" lol I've been on this site since then !!
I had the iPhone 5 and it got destroyed then I used my upgrade on a galaxy s4 because I knew the 5 was getting dated, I regret it so much and have no upgrade I cant keep this for 2 years!! I have all apple everything besides the phone and it sucks. iMore is my go to apple site (even tried finding it in the play store lol) PLEASE iMORE!
I remember just deciding at he last minute to go to the 2007 Macworld conference. Seeing the iPhone in a plastic cylinder case with a 'Zoolander' video running. Hard to believe today that I'm walking around with an Apple computer in my pocket. ;) Thanks to iMore for the great site!
As a graphic designer and technology enthusiast, I spend most every waking moment of my day interacting with an Apple device. Apple's products make the things I do easier and more enjoyable. iMore helps me discover new ways of using my Apple products and connects me with others who share a love for Apple. I'm an Apple geek through and through but iMore gives me a place to feel at home where I can let my geekiness hang out!

I am ready for the announcement! I sure hope Apple gets it together with something cool this time!
I've been an apple fanboy since the dawn of OS X! of course i want to have the 5S now!
I'm just here to get a new iPhone 5S, no sucking up or anything. So can I ? :) lol
I love iMore so much, I still remember when it was TiPB. It was back in 2008 and I got my first iPhone - the iPhone 3G. One of the first sites I visited back then? TiPB (The iPhone Blog) - now called iMore, the site we all know and love.
I love technology. I love newness. I love Apple Keynote days. It is better than my birthday.
i dig Apple because they have the best cradle to grave computing experience. I dig IMore because they keep me iformed about that experience.
I love Apple because their products, software, and support are great. As for iMore, I love you guys because you have great info on everything Apple and you're just super cool (not to mention this sweet contest!)
I must say I'm a long time android fan but have considered an iPhone in the past. I currently have an Android phone, but maybe winning this could convert me to iPhone?!
Oh Heyo iMore! I'm a fan of Apple, but more importantly, am a huge fan of your event coverage. Good job, dude. Also, winning stuff is excellent.
Love Apple? Of course I love Apple! I would even get a tattoo that said iPhone5S all across my back! Apple is my life. Heck, I still have the 1st generation iPad! It was my wedding present for my wife, so of course I am NEVER getting rid of it! I use that sucker everyday! Forget the tattoo. I would immediately go to the barber and get iPhone5S shaved into my hair! Then the tattoo! I would eat a thousand pieces of licorice! Better yet, I would eat 10 of the hottest wings on the planet. Wings that cause intense stomach pain.
As for iMore, I can't get enought iMore! I read it daily. It is my bible of knowledge. You all keep me so informed. I am addicted! I LOVE iMore! One side of my head I will get iPhone5S and the other side I will get I LOVE iMORE! To top it off, I will name my next pet iMore and iPhone5S.
Oh please pick me! I would love to win this! I will make a video of myself getting the logos in my hair!
Concrete jungle wet dream tomato
Always love to have the latest greatest, can't wait to see what Apple has in store for us today!
I'm completely sold on Apple--I had been a fan earlier on (and learned Logo in the 80s on an Apple), but had gone to PC until the iPhone came out. Since then, I keep upgrading and have gone wholly Apple. I love iMore--it's the best source of information!
Greetings from the UK, waiting on the apple event, thought I might as all enter this competition, don't enter then no chance of winning, fingers crossed, hope to win, but know I won't.
Hope we get a few nice surprises from the event.
Good luck to all that entered the competition.
I loVe apple premium products as much as imore quality content to us readers. Go imore go iOS!.
An architect, I love that apple made design cool again. I also love how my iPhone allows me to do so much more. iMore is awesome for helping me to realize the potential and get the most out of my iPhone!
I love both of my iPods and would love to add a 5S to the mix!
Ever since I was young I loved Apple. Easy to use and reliable. I love iMore because of all the relevant, factual, information pertaining to iPhone / Apple.
I am a recent addition to iMore, but not to Apple. I have been a close follower of Apple for 7 years now and I generally like most things they come out with. I first heard about iMore on Mac Break Weekly where Rene Ritchie makes frequent appearances. iMore is always in their commercials by Leo, but only recently did I actually go check it out. You guys one of the highest quality websites to find out everything Apple and there is no shortage of content. I've kept mobile notifications on for my phone and was amazed at how many tweets were coming from iMore. You guys really have it together here!
I love apple and the thought and finish which goes into their designs. and I love imore due to it's reliability in getting facts straight and general up to date apple news coverage. I visit the site at least 4 to 5 times a day! which speaks volumes!
Let me count the ways...
her devices are beautiful
they are always dependable
mac fever is addicting
and they're oh so lovable
iMore.. your knowledge is sexy and your updates are exciting. I think this love trio is excellence in the making. <3
Simply the best place to follow up what is cooking in the iOS (Apple) world, keep up the good job :)
Feed Me Seymour!!!
Apple has the greatest products on the market! Coupled with iMore, one can stay up to date with anything concerning Apple.
Apple is cool and trendy, and their os is adequate for my needs. I also love the entire Mobile Nations community.
I like apple but i love Blackberry i would love to hav a BlackBerry Z10...... thank you
I'd love to have an iPhone 5S! Everything in my house that could be apple is apple! I'm constantly on imore reading the forums and the site!
I know I am not going to win but what the heck. Can I has a new 5s to go with me S4? I love imore to keeps up with news on my ipad!
I've never had an iPhone. Would love to buy one. Right now I have a BlackBerry Z10 and I enjoy it. Best platform I've used by BlackBerry. I want to try out iOS7 if I can. I don't love Apple because I'm in love with me BlackBerry. Diehard BlackBerry fan for sure. Since I never win anything from CrackBerry (your older brother site) I thought I'll give this a try. You never know I may wind up ditching my BlackBerry ;). Give me a iPhone 5S to try. I want mine in Gold.
I'm a huge fan of Apple products. Best way to go IMO!!! Can wait to see all the new features. Imore you guys rock, YO!
I love imore and iPhone. I hope today's coverage is uninterrupted. I can't wait for the fingerprint scanner
Sent from the iMore App
love imore.com the best updates and articles out there. I work in Verizon store in cincinnati and play with all types of phones daily. Always loved the iphone since day 1. Can't wait to get my hands on the iphone 5s.
My mum could do with a new phone... Would be good to win this for her...
I use all Apple products and I use iMore to keep me up to date with them.
I love apple/iMore so much that I came home from work early to hopefully catch a live stream on my Apple TV. Not sure if there is going to be a live stream, but if not, I'll keep it locked to imore.com.
I was never a fan of Apple products until I stumbled onto iMore via the Mobile Nations linkup from CrackBerry. Guess what, after a few months of following the articles posted on iMore (especially Rene's), I jumped ship. My only regret is that I didn't make the move earlier. Apple doesn't make perfect products but from owning and using their products, I can feel that unlike the others, they sincerely try..
I'll take it!!
I would love this phone for myself but my mom's iPhone 4 is near it's end. It would be nice to be able to give her a nice 5S which has a bigger screen than the 4/4S.
After life with some older iPhones & a new unlocked phone with OS7 would be great
I love apple because you can sync everything together and iMore keeps me up to date!
Would love to win this to take my personal app building to a new level
What do I love about Apple? The unbelievable integration that is slowly drawing my family over as devices need replacing. Now, with an iPhone 5S in my holster, I could dream about An iwatch or even a touchscreen MacBook Pro. And iMore let's me explore the whole iOS universe vicariously.
Apple is revolutionary and iMore keeps you up to day on all the whats happenings in the iWorld
I would be happy to own a new iPhone. I've carried an iPhone since the 4 on it's release day.
iMore is a great place to get info on apple products
iLove iPhone, iLove iMore, save me from BlackBerry, can't take this anyMore!
I came from Android and got myself an iPhone. I loved it immediately, to date I have had only a handful of errors with it, its ease of use and great look are wonderful. I love the iPhone even more after I had to use my friend's Moto Razor Maxx and it overheated and kept telling me the processes failed and I had to quit. So happy to have an Apple iPhone.
Apple and their products have added so much to my life. I live in California and all of my family lives in South Carolina. Facetime on our phones has meant being able to be there in some way for birthdays and family picnics. I love Apple for keeping me connected to my family even though we are thousands of miles away. iMore, of course I love you too for keeping me up to date on all things Apple. Y'all are the best!
Because both Apple and iMore are awesome!
I love apple and all their products!
Love apple and their quality products, cant wait to get the new iphone 5s, but more than that i love imore to keep me updated
I still have a not-so-smart phone… please upgrade me!
Would like an improved iPod touch ;o)
Apple has a good style, iMore has a good style. I like the good style.
Love me some Apple and imore. really want this phone.
Love my iPhone, love my MacBook. iMore saved me from HP's "in the coming months" misery. Goodbye Palm, hello Apple! It's been two years and I've never looked back.
Pick me, pick me.
I love apple products so much that if you dont give me one i will have to buy one... :)
I'm from Denmark. I like imore.com because they are first with news from apple and i like apple because they are first with Technology synching with hardware.
Looking forward to all the updates...iOS and iP5S!
Not a better website to keep me informed on all things Apple than iMore.com.
Thanks for all you do!
I dare you to try and convert me from Android with one of these new fangled iPhones...go ahead, I double dare you!!!
Love iMore, and Apple!
I love apple crazy the iphone is the only phone I've never tried to upgrade early. Imore always keeps me up to date which is awesome I'm in the app least every hour to see if something new is happening
Sent from the iMore App
It's almost time to get to know new 5S. It's almost time for me to win it. iMore is the place to do both.
great contest, and great coverage of the event! thanks for making it happen imore!
Mannn I work at BlackBerry and I'm always on this site
I love apple because their system is the best and i love imore because their website is the best..
I love iPhones and can't wait to hear all the news on imore!!
I want to sell- I mean win an iPhone 5S. Yeah that'd be swell.
I love the simplicity of Apple and the iPhone. I've used other devices and the Apple devices just ... work right!! iMore is always on top of everything I need to know about my favorite device.
I want one. I can't upgrade for another month or two.
Winning would be awesome. A 5S would complement my Retina MBP and my iPad (and replace my iPhone 5).
iMore is really one of the best Apple (and really mobile news) websites out there. Great information, very professional and the humor thrown in. I love it.
I do not currently have an iOS device and I've been using android for about an year. Truth be told I miss it. I would love to go back to iOS. I prefer the iPhone over Android after using the two.
I love Apple and iMore cause you guys make it to keep me always updated! You do everything to keep us always in the technology and always a step ahead of others! Thanks for everything!
Love the simplicity of Apple products!
Apple makes great products. Would love to get my wife the new 5s to replace the 5 that was stolen from her this summer.
I never win these things, but if I could win that'd be great. I still have an iPhone 4!

I actually didn't care for apple at first and was all over android. Then I got an ipad.. Don't really like android now
I have to admit, I was anti-i (anything apple created but specifically the iPhone and iPod). I was a crackberry addict and LOVED my Blackberry device. Nope, wasn't going to change and no one was going to make me do it.
I went to visit my brother in Orlando and my then 1 year old nephew happened to pick up his iPhone and proceeded to go to Neflix and start up an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. I was amazed at the fact that a one year old could do this. I then asked my brother if he taught him that and his reply was, "No, he figured it out on his own."
This intrigued me enough to want to learn more and would you believe on October 14, 2011, I became the proud owner of an iPhone 4S. I love my phone. The ease of use, simple navigation and the multitude of apps available makes this the best phone I have ever had. Happily, I am no longer anti-i. Sad I had to learn this from a one year old. LOL!
Always go to imore for the critical information!
I love your iMore website and love my other Apple products so it would be great to win a new iPhone so I can see how well their integrated solution works. Thanks!
Apple's products are easy to use and well designed. iMore is the best source of information for everything Apple, in my opinion!
I love Apple because they take the time to get a product right, unlike it's competitors that require 50+ devices a year to even come close in comparison. I love iMore for its love of Apple.
I love Apple products, they are just made well! iMore has always been good at looking at Apple's products in an unbiased and thoughtful way. I love that Rene is part of MacBreak Weekly, he is a valuable part of the cast.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE apple and imore!!! They both keep me up to date on & with technology.
It will be a gift to receive and win this...I love iphones!!!
for $500 it would be a blessing from God!
If i don't win i will still be thankful for all that i have. Still hope i do tho !
Cant wait to see ios7 (:
God Bless
iPhone is the best and most exciting phone ever so I love apple not only for iPhone but also for all the products it makes. Thanks to imore for keeping us up to date and for having great content.
I don't really love Apple (as a monolithic global corporate entity). I do, however, love their products. I like (most of) the philosophies they aspire to in their products.
I love iMore as a great source and community for technology information (though I still call it TIPB out of habit).
I could tell you how much I love you, and that I always follow your news. I do, and I am a frequent visitor to your website, and you are a regular in my facebook and twitter feed. But if that isn't enough, wouldn't letting me win the iPhone 5S be the best way imaginable to make my love for your website stronger? ;)
3 iPad's, 2 4s', and 1 iPhone 5! I want the new one!
fashion, technology and know-how. 3 words, 2 companies, 1 meaning: evolution!!
Do you need anything else?
Love iMore, Love Apple. :)
I love to read the latest and greatest apple news from the imore website!!!
I love Apples technology it is the best!!!
I have been following imore since the iPhone 3G by far the best apple mobile blog. Even after swapping from an iPhone 4 to a galaxy s3 (now back on iPhone 5 because I didn't enjoy the ecosystem or ui) I was reading imore and it helped bring me back to Apple.
Awesome! I can't see my self with no other phone than my iPhone, got ieverything the best and imore great that it keeps me updated ;)
Love both equally. Best in the business.
Aloha, I have been an Apple "addict" since my first Mac SE and when I was an Apple Classroom of Tomorrow teacher in the '80s! IMore is my go to site to find out about all things Apple. I can count on you to keep me well informed! You also run the best contests! Mahalo for the chance to win another great contest!
I love Apple, it's philosophy of Technology meeting Art, and I especially love how Apple implements that philosophy. I also Love iMore as they give me in-depth coverage of all things iOS and Mac. When I need an initial view or opinion of an item, it's iMore I look to first, and then challenge my own point of view with iMore's as a ruler.
Loved Apple ever since getting my first iPod back in 2003 and have gotten a Powerbook, iPod Touch, OG iPhone 7, Retina iPad, iPad mini and today an iPhone 5 and MBP. Also iMore is amazing love all the awesome articles, great contests like this one and the awesome community!
My wife could use a new phone. Her 4s is old. Yes please
I had BBs and Androids but never, iDevice so my love is == 0
I love iMore for the chance to improve my love to iPhone.
I love apple, love being a part of the ecosystem, and love the new and coverage that iMore brings!
The reason i love apple is because they changed the game! They came an innovated a smart phone that changed the world and the challanges creating new technology. The reason i like imore so much that is that they are ahead of the game on news and also like flipboard. imoredid a 360 flip from itip era,and i love to look at gerogia's videos shes amazing.
i would love to have the new iPhone 5S. My iPhone 4S is reaching the end of its life. Can't wait for this new iPhone. i'm watching the live blog for the iPhone 5S right now!!!!
Both Apple and iMore are thoughtful and intelligent in their work, which shows in the products they produce. I love them both!
From getting the iPhone, then iPad, then, Macbook Pro and then finally an Apple Tv. The love for apple is there but the love for iMore is greater since it helped me to make my decisions to get the apple products. So PICK ME!!...lol
I love Apple this much: <Holds hands apart about the width of an iPhone 5s>
I would love nothing more than to win this phone!!!! I love apple they are the best company in the world!!!!
I love Apple because their products have longevity and the operating system remains crisp years after the initial purchase of the device.
I love iMore because they stay up to date TO THE MINUTE with great news and reviews of interesting app sets and new applications
Apple: better
iMore: much better
I love that Apples are healthy and grown in America. And what's not to love about non-removeable batteries, non-upgradable memory, and proprietary connectors - WOOOT baby. And I love imore.com for helping to bring me all the news about red delicious and granny smiths.
I love apple because of its product's RELIABILITY! Apple products are made to last! I have the 2nd gen iPhone and still have it and still working. I'm currently using an iPhone 3GS for 3 years now and it's still working perfectly fine. And I'm just waiting for the new iPhone to come for me to upgrade it with. AND I love iMore, because I can get a lot of latest insights on my favorite device and the accessories that you guys sell for way cheaper price with so much more options!
Apple is technology done right...
Well Apple pays attention to detail and thats what I love every corner every edge even every icon makes me a designer wish I was on the Apple design team.I love the performance and the ease of use of Apple products. Yes I have used android but Appple just feels more like home. Thank you iMore. You guys keep me up to date on all things apple .absolutely love your articles keeps me wanting more

I Love Apple for its SIMPLICITY and INTEGRATION of it products........IT ALL JUST WORKS!!!!!
Sent from the iMore App
I've never used an iPhone, it'd be kinda cool to try it out.
Well, Apple is just a soild product. It doesn't have some of the bells and whistles others have but what it does, it does well. I would have to say the same about iMore.com, it's just solid.
I love Apple so much I should marry it!...no really. They really stand behind all of their products.
imore rocks!! Never takes a break from keeping us fanboys informed with no BS. Rene really brought it to macbrake too!
Me and my wife would rule the world with our S4 iP5s combo so make us that power couple you know we should be.
I absolutely love Apple products, and iMore is my place to go for news, rumors, and reviews!
Apple is amazing, they are always innovating! looking forward for that iphone 5S/6!!!
iMore has good coverage with no crazy rumour mongering, plus Rene's Canadian focus is great for me :)
Love iMore!
Love iMore! Love Apple! Would enjoy to get my my ageing iPhone 4 replaced!
If you Take my iPhone away, then cut off my arm!
Amazing hope to win it
Would love to get one as a back to school (college) gift :D
I hate Apple but I love their products...
I love Apple & iMore so much that I enter these contest and retweet your posts regardless of the chances I might actually win!!! Plus Georgia is easy on the eyes.
I love iMore because not only do they have the best Apple coverage and news but they also cover stories and feature content from the areas of the mobile/tech world. I personally haven't had an Apple product since spilling ginger ale all over my Mac Book Pro, earlier this year. Certainly wouldn't mind another go. (:
I love apple and I would love a iPhone 5s so fucking exited!!!!!
I would like to try something new never really worked this type of device new to this
I love Apple enough to dedicate a whole folder/category to it in my RSS reader, and I _write_ about the company's products as well. As for iMore, it's currently my "main" Apple news site!
Love Apple and iMore...thanks!
Here we go! Another year, another model. More mind blowing upgrades! Ah yeah!
iMore is on my daily watch list. I check it several times a day! Love it. Also, love my iPhone and my iPad. I as so ready to see what's coming up next!
Apple makes my favorite gadgets. And iMore is my favorite place to read all about them. :)
I love the iOS ecosystem, I used to be an android user and was surprised when I switched to the iPhone 4S, everything works like it should be, great support for the OS updates, and iMore has been one of my daily news sources since I switched.
Simply the best! User friendly and quiet usefull! I love it
Apple rocks because of the ease of use and the great apps available for it. Love it.
The iPhone is the only phone worth having. Period! iMore you rock for keeping me/us up to date with all the Apple rumors! You are my daily fix!
Apple + iMore = all you need to stay up to date!

I love Apple for creating high quality products that solve problems, not just add features for the heck of it, and I love iMore for helping me stay updated on all things Apple!
Apple stuff is awesome!!!!
Would love nothing better than a new IPhone 5s...
I love the iOS ecosystem and no matter what other products i have tried I always come back to apple.
lets give this a go... I'd love a new Iphone 5s
iMore has been the one place where I have learned the most about my iPhone. I don't think I would have stayed with the iPhone as long as I have if it weren't for you guys. As far as the phone itself, it is one of the most reliable and greatest gadgets of this time. If this thing could carry as a purse I would die happy.
I love Apple because they manufacture the most stable handsets in the planet. Mutual feelings for iMore because they are the most reliable source of Apple news out there. Hands down!
I love Apple because "It Just works"...whether it be my MBP, iPhone, Shuffle, Touch, iPad, Mini or Classic. Coming from CrackBerry, I wanted to stay within the Mobile Nations family - thus iMore!
It is my birthday day today! What would be a better present!
I enjoy iMore because sometimes it's great to just have a passion without the need to worry about being unbiased. Sometimes you're just excited about what a company is doing and that comes across from you guys.
Apples iPhone is the best phone ever created and iMore is the number site for getting all your information surrounding it.
I love Apple products, I love iMore.com, and I really love fee stuff!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! I want one :-)
I've been an Apple fan since back in the 80's and I love iMore more than chicken soup!
Gotta love Apple and iMore...
Can't wait to upgrade from the 4S - tried the HTC1 - have to stay in the family.
I love my apple products! I have an iPhone 4S and an ipad mini. And an old iPod classic

Love apple... Wish to get the 5s, love iMore, best iPhone site.
Can't wait for a new iPhone after 2 years! Hope this 5s lives up to the hype!
Apple iOS provides a very good platform for mobile devices. iPads, iPhones, and iPods are very intuitive devices that easy to teach to people that are not so computer savvy. I have converted most of my family to iPhones and/or iPads.
iMore is a great source for up to date information on these devices, and other Apple products. Thanks for the contest, I'd love to win, as would all of the other commenters here too, I'm sure. :-)
I still believe that iOS is the most stable OS on the market today. It also has second to none function for streaming RSS related stuff.
(iMore) is a clean site that is easy to navigate.
Love love love Apple! Love love love iMore! Hook me up!
Apple and iMore - it doesn't get any better.
After using so many different phones I keep on coming back to Apple. That is why I love them.

I love apple I've had my iPhone for 2 years now and I love imore for keeping me up to date with everything apple :)
Thanks iMore for this opportunity!

I love apple lot - that's why I eat one everyday :-)
I've always loved Apple and the iPhone. A solid product and stable platform. Apple has been a market trailblazer.
I'm certainly polyamory on mobile matters, and iMore is one of my lovers :)
Imore is a great source of Apple info, and Apple has great quality products.

------> pick me!
Ive been an Apple user for almost my entire adult life , including the fact that i have an Apple - true 'til death tattoo, iMore has always been my spot for Apple and iPhone related news because they seem to only report the most significant and resourced stories and rumors, if its on iMore its got traction. Thanks iMore for keep my Apple news legit!
Pick me good luck!
Well this is my first iPhone and love it! I would love to win the iPhone s. :-)
I've been using Apple products for close to 27 years and feel that I have gotten the best product on the market with the highest quality every time I have purchase an Apple device. I feel that Apple will not let the consumer experience a shoddy product.
Apple and iMore are the best!
I love my Apple products and iPhone, looking forward to the upgraded OS.
iMore is my go to for all that is Apple!
I am looking forward to the new iPhone and iOS 7.
iMore is my favorite place to go for Apple news, commentary, and discussion.
My love/hate relationship with Apple is something I need to work on :(
iMore, really? If I had any more I don't know how I would get work done its a fact, just had my yearly review and my boss said I spend entirely too much time here and not enough on work :)
I love Apple's design sense and their no-nonsense approach to be easy to use for whatever I need to do. I think iMore quite nicely echoes that same methodology for this website. Thank you iMore for being my go-to site for news, reviews and helpful information to all things Apple.
Could need one for work, but I am for sure not loving apple or i-Devices ^^
My wife loves Apple and her old iphone and i send her here for help, so she loves you too! Make us both happy and have us WIN!
Apple has always been revolutionary & has always made absolute quality products. And I love that!
I love the way they warranty their products right there at a local store instead of shipping it in to some far off facility. No one can even come close to offering that type of support.
iMore has always been my 1st stop for finding information on all things Apple for my aging iPhone & my iPad Mini. I have found, many times, information on how to Jailbreak (and found out when it was available) my iDevices, new features, etc. iMore is absolutely fantastic.
I even loved when they had that Halloween special where Ms. Georgia had dressed like Wonder Woman to have an honest conversation with Siri. That had me asking Siri about Android myself. :-)
Thank you iMore for always being there & not only being informative, but doing it in style & with some humour! And thank you for always having awesome contests! I love this place.
iOS 7 looks dope
I love to win a iphone 5s - why because I love my ipad mini and I need a iphone to be cool. imore is the best - I really mean the best web blog for the latest and happen place to be.
I don't know yet, why Iove it, as I don't have any apple product. But I do love iMore for the great contests :-D
I have an iPhone 5 and would love to upgrade to the latest/greatest. I get all my news from iMore - you guys do a fantastic job! Good lucky everyone.
Love the Apple devices and especially iMore for all the great App tips.
Have had an iphone since the original and iMore is the best site hands down (I remember it from the old "iphoneblog" days... :)

All of the early 2000's big stars are in this one; Anabolic/Diabolic studios really had a knack for finding great talent back in the day. Sexy lil' Gauge and rambunctious Belladonna star in this, one of their first, all gonzo-pornos. Skylar Knight's scene was one of particular stroke-worthiness. In it, she gets her ass licked for the first time by Mr. Mark Davis; she returns the favor and the doggy-style scene is something to behold! I highly recommend this great old fashioned gonzo-porno!
Having seen all of the "PoPShots" series, I knew how the endings were, but I hadn't seen the entire effing portion. This is a great classic series from a storied production company. Great "stroke-worthy" scenes in this one! -AK
This is the classic start for Kacey & Aurora Snow. Their scenes are ok, but are only worth watching for them. Aurora's scene is shot outside and the first ten minutes you hear an annoying dog barking in the background. Kacey's is shot indoors this time, but her "boyfriend" (and this is real by the way; like many studios used to do, guys could enter the biz simply by bringing a girl; those days are long gone.) He's a heavier set dude and his tool isn't that big. She eats ass and get her naughty, nasty start in this film.
i prefer diabolic's, "pop shots" not anabolic's "cum shots." although i have enjoyed other "cum shots" dvd's this one was rather old, and there were 20 minuets of shots, in one scene. this means that if you want to see a specific cum shot, you have to fast forward like an old school vcr!
Cum Shots #2. is a great compilation of older cumshots. The newer compilations are better, but this is worth a look.
The compilations from Anabolic and Diabolic are good, and this one is too, but there are just a few things that made me give this DVD only a 2 star rating. One, there are only six scenes with 25 min. of different money shots. And secondly, (this was popular in early 90's pornography) many of the money shots are in slow motion. This irritated the crap out of me. But other than those two annoyances, this movie was alright.
Other �Cum Shots� titles have proven to be very high quality compilations; however I realize that the older titles have nothing on the newer ones. This DVD featured older style pornography, and just seemed tired. Skip this one, and go for the newer �Cum Shots� DVD�s.
While many of the clips are older, the movie all in all is a good one. Lots of clips of money shots, and better than many other money shot-compilations.
Like the other reviewers said, this DVD is bad. I would have liked to have seen more DPs, and less limp dudes. The travel scenes were cool, but very dated. SO, you're left with rather boring travel bits, and old, poor sex. Get the picture? Avoid.
While I love Kacy, I have to say her scene was a little bland. Aurora Snow and Catalina were also great, but with a running time of only 90 minuets, couldn't Diabolic fit another girl in this one? If you are in to some nasty, raunchy sex than this one is for you... no matter how short the film is.

text: 2. During the Olympics, the commentator for CTV (David Peletier) said it outright, that Stanislav was retiring so Tatiana could find a partner better suited to her. I have to admit that I thought that was a wonderfully generous thing to do (indeed, one of my favourite moments from V/T's worlds success was Tatiana sitting in the KnC with one arm around Stanislav and the other around Max. Such a charming moment).

A Classic Rubber Duck to Lead the Way to Christmas Fun
The reindeer ducks are a fun way to celebrate Christmas. These reindeer rubber ducks are the perfect Christmas party decoration!
The reindeer ducks are an ideal Christmas party decoration. These ducks add holiday cheer to any room and are the perfect Christmas party favor for your guests!

Loved Them! -
Got these for my daughter & her friend. They both loved them!!!
Set of nine, awesome quick Christmas decoration, extremely festive! -
Freak369, US
If you are looking for a quick, easy and inexpensive Christmas decoration, this set of nine reindeer ducks are well worth the price. At first glance it might look like these are all the same; they sort of are but there is one with a red nose. If you know the story of Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer then you'll appreciate the humor that went in to making this interesting set. The eight reindeer ducks that make up the bulk of this set are done up in two tone brown with a red and green scarf around their neck. The scarves have a mistletoe accent on them but it�s the light brown antlers that really make these look awesome. Until you see these up close and in person you miss out the little details of it like the small black dots on their beaks and the tiny little black eyes. The main duck, presumably Rudolph, has a scarf but instead of the mistletoe there is a gold star. He also has a red nose and the antlers have a different shape to them. They are all the same size so displaying them isn't a problem; if you want to get creative with this set you can use a medium thickness of gold robe [or braid some DMC gold floss] and attach it to the ducks so they look like they are in work mode.

Solarex Sun Lamp- Model #: CD-026
Even during a storm you can enjoy clear, glare-free, bright "sunlight" everyday! Solarex lamps reproduce the clear, full spectrum, flicker-free light of the sun for indoor lighting that's easy on the eyes and can help improve your mood! This lamp features a special 27W bulb that provides as much light as a typical 150W incandescent bulb, and lasts up to 5 times longer - using less energy, too! It outputs a clear, bright white light that makes colors more vivid, increasing the contrast and reducing glare that can cause headaches and eye strain. It's great for reading, working or for doing crafts. Plus it has a flexible neck so you can position the light where you need it most. Table lamp is 18-26'' tall.

I ordered this lamp several months ago. I have used ordinary floor lamps in the past, but I was never satisfied with the lighting. I ordered the Solarex and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. I am an avid reader and use my lamp often. I recommend it.
6/11/2010 - PJ - Fort Meade, FL
I LOVE this lamp. I use it for needle work. It's great. If you craft...you need this lamp! The ones craft stores sell cost over 200 dollars! Can't beat this one!
4/22/2010 - RH - Boston, MA
It's a bit of a misnomer to call this a "sun lamp" - I'm not sure what the manufacturer meant by using that name. What it produces is a broad spectrum, very white light - you don't get the "off" yellow or green color that some C.F. type bulbs can produce. For either the floor lamp or table model the flexble neck allows you to direct the light right where you need it. And they produce a very large field of light. We love these for general use But more importantly, our Dad has macular degeneration and was complaining that regular lamps weren't bright enough for reading. We can't see what he sees so we can only go by his reports. Dad said these lamps are "really good" and a big improvement over traditional lamps for reading. With that flexible head he can point the light source directly at his reading material and that makes a big difference. We would have to go to lamps costing $200.00 plus to find the next level of improvement for his problem. The replacement bulbs are readily available at those "big box" home improvement stores. The HLA price for the replacement bulbs is a very good price (I checked), but you don't have to worry about getting replacement bulbs in the future either.
4/1/2010 - DOM - Kelso, WA
I bought a pair of these for my wife's sewing table. She just loves them!
7/17/2009 - PMT - Nashua, NH
I bought the combo pak of the floor and desk lamps, both of which I had seen in other catalogs...at much higher prices!
The product quality is outstanding, and 27 watts produces brilliant yet soft light for small-type reading and handling small items for hours w/o eye fatigue. Gotta buy a pak o' spare bulbs real soon.

4/8/2009 - DM - Parkville, MD
This is a great lamp. I had been using a small desk light that has a halogen bulb. It provides good light, but it is very hot. The Solarex provides bright, but soft light without the excess heat. It is not only functional, but it is attractive as well. I also got the Solarex floor lamp. It is an excellent reading light.
10/30/2008 - SP - Whittier, CA
This is one of the best lamps I've ever used! It's great for reading; or when requiring detailed work. I've got both the floor light, and the desk lamp, each of which have great styling. At this price, it's a steal! I also use it as a general light to light-up entire room.
9/26/2008 - JD - Monrovia, MD
My wife's elderly mother needs extra light to read by, and this lamp is perfect. Previously used a floor model, which just could not be positioned to get light where she needed it.
Works great!
Works great!

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Panel approves petition to designate Sydney Hih
After hearing testimony as colorful as the Sydney Hih's former façade, the Historic Preservation Commission approved a petition for historic designation for the cluster of 19th-century buildings.
The panel went against an opinion of the city attorney and a lawyer representing the city, who said the HPC cannot consider the main structure, the Nicholas Senn building, on the corner of N. Old World Third St. and W. Juneau Ave.
Wednesday's action means the city will have to put demolition – which seemed imminent in recent days – on hold. If the city, which is effectively the owner of the building, appeals the decision, which is likely, the Common Council will have 45 days to vote on the matter.
Though the buildings were once part of a bustling commercial district that ran west up Juneau Ave. and crowned at the Pabst Brewery, most of the public testimony focused on more recent legacy. The Sydney Hih, its labyrinthine interior jammed with art studios, band rehearsal space and a storied nightclub, was an arts incubator before the idea of arts incubators became common.
Nirvana, Soundgarden and the Smashing Pumpkins famously played the Unicorn nightclub before hitting it big. Theatre X had some of its earliest rehearsals there, and artist Prophet William J. Blackmon made art there.
"That joint is the soul of the city, the soul of the young," said Alan Eisenberg, the son of Sydney Eisenberg, who owned the building in its counterculture heyday and for whom the building is named. "Leave it stand."
In perhaps the most hyperbolic statement of the morning, Eisenberg said the Sydney Hih is a "phenomenon" as known throughout the world as The Calatrava, the building at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Jessica St. John, who recently moved back to Milwaukee after living in New York and London, didn't go quite that far, calling it instead an important touchstone for many Milwaukeeans who return to visit or live.
"We look for Miller," she said. "We look for the Milwaukee Art Museum…one of the buildings that we all look for is the Sydney Hih."
St. John made a special point to mention that the original bass player for the Black Eyed Peas, Michael Fratantuno, got his start in a Syndey Hih rehearsal space, where he played with the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo, a rootsy pop band from the `80s.
"So we're down to whether the Black Eyed Pease are 'substantial,'" said Allyson Nemec, chair of the HPC, referring to a suggestion from the lawyer for the city that the panel could only consider "substantially new information" for the petition, since there had been earlier ones.
Erin Dorbin, an artist, photographer and historian, said she filed the petition for the buildings "with a funny name," to demonstrate that a new class of creatives are deeply interested in preserving buildings as a means of "place making." She worked with Noah Skowronski and Erik Ljung on the application.
The trio submitted a 7-minute video that was part of their application and played during the hearing, featuring photographs of the buildings, history, arguments and snippets of Ald. Robert Bauman, Ald. Nik Kovac and city clerk Jim Owczarski taken from the City Channel – all set to toe-tapping tunes.
Brian Randall, a lawyer representing the owner S.H. Holdings, a city-controlled entity, called the video a "fine production" but reminded the panel that there is a raze order in place, issued by the Department of Neighborhood Services, citing a long list of problems that make the buildings "unfit" for use and unreasonable to repair.
"We have to comply with that," he said of the order. "The city cannot ignore its own ordinances. It certainly needs to lead by example."
Randall showed several slides of damage to the buildings – including buckling walls, exterior holes and interior fire damage – and reminded the panel that the buildings had been on the market for several years with no takers. The city has already paid for the removal of lead paint and asbestos and shut off utilities, work that is required before demolition can happen, he said.
He also reiterated his interpretation of the preservation ordinance, that the Senn building should not be considered because not enough time has passed since a prior petition. Two years needs to transpire from the date of the last action, he said.
This was the opinion of the city attorney's office, too, though Mary Schanning, assistant city attorney, said it wouldn't be the first time an opinion of her office was disregarded.
"I very strongly believe that if the Senn building is not included, the rest of them will come down," said Blair Williams, one of the commissioners, echoing the sentiments of a few members of the HPC.
Vacant since 2000, the Sydney Hih sits across the street from one of the more anticipated additions the city skyline, The Moderne, a 30-story condominium and apartment tower that reprises the Streamline Moderne architectural style of the 1930s.
Skowronski, the most consistently outspoken about the Sydney Hih, had the last word before the HPC vote, which was made unanimously and without discussion. .
"From the bottom of my heart as a Milwaukee citizen, please endorse this petition," Skowronski said, adding that he, Dorbin and Ljung had stayed up all night several times in the last week preparing for the hearing. "I've seen people go up and touch the building. It's just bricks and wood. But there is emotion behind it."
For those who wish to share their opinions on the Sydney Hih or offer tributes to its cultural legacy, please go to our forum.

Really comparing an eye sore to the Calatrava? While I agree the area is filled with empty space, I still believe the costs to keep it standing will outweigh the costs to get rid of it once and for all. I know people have memories of the place, but the memories will be there with or without place standing.Hide replies
You have no clue about real estate investment and developing.
Well the couple of properties I own do have tenants in them. I seem to be doing right. Anyway what part of my comment implied I was an expert about real estate investment or development? My post is my opinion which I'm guessing a lot of people in the area might happen to agree with!
This is like planning on giving a 100 year old man a heart transplant. The reason the building was used for the purpose it was is because 40 years ago it was a dump and it didn't get any better. Time to toss the "love beads" and the patuli oil. Or maybe it should be saved as a religious site because it's a Miracle it hasn't burned down.Hide replies
well, well. the arsonist has come to light. please identify yourself.
WWBD - What will Barrett do?Hide replies
Nothing. Stand around and talk about it, but in the end, nothing.
Tear it down. The case being made for the historic significance is scant at best. The site is an eyesore and an embarrassment to the city. If Bob Dylan had played at Sidney Hih early in his career, then maybe you've got an argument (and potential investors to fix it up). But citing the bass player for the Black Eyed Peas . . . really? After their last album, I'd think any ties to historic significance would be abandoned.Hide replies
Nirvana, Greenday, NOFX, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Seven Mary Three, all played there before they got famous, Kurt Kobain talked about Sydney Hih and The Unicorn (the venue in the basement where they played) on numerous occasions later on in his life, not to mention 100's of local milwaukee bands...
"Conserve," is the root of "conservative."
Let's see if I understand this correctly...
People who do not own a building want the owners to preserve it for posterity.
The Historic Preservation Commission members who suggest preserving the building do not personally own it, but they get to decide what the owners can or must do with it (doesn't the Takings Clause in the Bill of Rights apply?).
None of the above have any of their own money invested into this. They want the building owners to pay for it. The actual owners are the citizens / taxpayers in Milwaukee.
The building is unfit for use or repair, so it will remain empty and likely continue to deteriorate. I would not be surprised if some miscreant sets it on fire for personal kicks. (Do NOT misinterpret as a call to action. Fortunately, miscreants are usually illiterate and will not read this.)
The eyesore building is also in the middle of what is touted as a prime piece of real estate by the city, one that they are trying to develop. It is, essentially, a piece of fecal matter in a punchbowl.
Doesn't anyone involved see anything wrong here?
What a joke.
Tom Barrett for once show some leadership and do SOMETHING. Sell it back to Allen Eisenberg and have him restore it, or destro it. Tax payers cannot afford this, not now, not ever.Hide replies
Not much Barrett can do. He can't simply order a building torn down. There are rules he (and the city) have to follow.
I suppose you could assign peripheral blame since he's responsible for the make-up of the HPC.
And they couldn't sell it back to Eisenberg even if they wanted to. He didn't give it up voluntarily. If he had the money, he would never have lost it.
I don't know for sure but I think the Common Council can over ride the HPC on this. Like most of the rest of the world, the Common Council is itching to be rid of this eyesore. You can't hope to the property while it still stands.
I did give it up voluntarily, I was the broker who sold it to a developer who had a rock solid $180,000,000 redevelopment plan. I never lost it. Earthmover, please identify yourself, and stop lying, please.
What do you think?
The Big Mouth Frog had good bloody marys
I spent a lot of time in the Sydney Hih building both as a child and a young adult. The memories are wonderful but even during those visits I can remember questioning my safety in the building.
Simply being "one of the oldest commercial buildings in Milwaukee County" does not make it historic. The counter-culture ties from the 60s and 70s does not make it historic. Being a possible launch point for a musician's career does not make it historic.
This is a former commercial building that, through simple age and years of neglect, has outlived it's usefulness and the time has come to tear it down. I am not one to advocate getting rid of something simply because it's old. Old buildings have a place in the urban (or rural) landscape if they have been maintained and are not a hazard to potential occupants. I don't claim to know the cost of restoring Sydney Hih to a functional state but I would say that in today's economic climate, anything that would be spent to that end, is more than the taxpayers of the City of Milwaukee should be expected to bear.Hide replies
Taxpayer money was used to secretly purchase the building complex, no one, not the HPC, not the individuals who re-nominated it for historic protection want taxpayer money to be used to re-develop the site, this building is 130 years old and was built by a world famous surgeon named Dr. Nicholas Senn, look him up. He profoundly changed the way many surgical procedures were preformed and most of his research and discovery took place in the basement of Sydney Hih, It's also the last existing remnant of Kilbourntown, which represents the very foundation of the beginnings of Milwaukee, look up Juneau town and Kilbourntown. Do some research then decide,
oneworld...then why didn't we keep the old draw bridges that were created at angles to keep the three town from shooting in a straight line at each other? Why don't we restrict the roads to horses, as they too, were "iconic" in developing the area and should be protected. And, going one step further...maybe we could have saved some of the poop that the horses dropped child they were constructing it and taking customers to and from the building 130 years ago. I mean, at least that way, the Mayor, and the historic preservationists. would known S%*t from Shinola!
NormanSoShore: It would help if you actually took the time to formulate an actual FACT BASED argument against saving this structure. Most to the bridges we do have now are constructed at angles because of the original bridges that once existed, a way to respect our past. You need to bring actual facts to the table if you want to have a conversation with me about Sydney Hih. Saving poop, and keeping horses as our main means of transportation makes no sense, and you know that. You don't know anything about the true history of the building based on your responses. Do some research and then come back with legit argument, because right now your thoughts are just childish. Bring something substantial to this argument then maybe we can have an adult conversation based on facts.
...and survey says: Tear it down!
I offered to find a developer who would bear the entire burden; I did it before, I can do it again; I love all fo these idiotic opinions from anonymous people. Identify yourselves, please.
and see how that worked out? 10 years later, and you can't even use it as a urinal--cause it aint worth the cost of a honey wagon to suck out all the bad that is in that building.
So, let me get this straight. It's too expensive to renavate, nor is any body willing to float the bill to do so. We can't tear it down because it brings up warm fuzzies of the 70s-90s. So are we to let it sit there and rot? I don't see enough historical significance to keep it around, I think the best thing to do is move on. The land is worth a lot more than the structure.Hide replies
Historical significance of that dump is a joke. Its was a rathole that only poor people lived in with no other choice.
People rented commercial spaces, prospered and later became millionaires; the place has historic significance
I slept with someone once who is now a millionare. If thats your way of thinking...shouldn't I have bronzed the mattress then--and maybe with a little government assistance thrown in?.
Sydney Hih has well over 130 years of historical significance. It was the first commercial brick building in Milwaukee. The building was built by a world famous surgeon named Dr. Nicholas Senn, his experiments and research that occurred in the basement of Sydney Hih profoundly changed the way certain surgical techniques are practiced. He was the first known doctor to use protective gloves during surgery. Nirvana, Greenday, Soundgarden, Seven Mary Three, and Pearl Jam all performed at the Unicorn located in the basement of Sydney Hih, well before they got famous. This building was home to one Milwaukee's first gay night clubs and also milwaukee's first organic food co-operative. The owners of Atomic records spent time in Sydney Hih as well as one owner of Rushmore Records, the oldest independent record store in the state. No one who wants to save this building wants it to just sit and rot for another 10 years. We want a new public forum to occur and allow developers interested in saving the building a chance to have a say. The land is will become a vacant lot, there is no development proposal planned for that site and there is no evidence that proves the site would be easier to sell without Sydney Hih, this is all speculation. RESEARCH THE TRUTH. THEN DECIDE

Great dress!
This is a great dress! I have the coffee and the black/gray. I'm glad they are making it in brighter colors. Great fit, great length. I received lots of compliments when I wore it.The neckline is cut kind of low, so I wear a suitable colored shrug with it.

Blimp Heads South
October 10th, 2013 | WMFE- Goodyear is retiring one of its three blimps - to Florida.
[Photo courtesy of Goodyear]
The Spirit of Goodyear will leave Akron Ohio Friday and fly south to join another Goodyear blimp in Pompano Beach.
The blimp was christened in March 2000 by NASA astronaut Sally Ride.
It's the oldest of the company's three airships.
Goodyear spokesman Doug Grassian says the blimp will be deflated next spring and its car – or gondola- will be donated to a museum.
"Like many Ohioans, the blimp is going for
warmer pastures and the idea is that it will be able to operate through the
winter months before we put it out of commission," says Grassian.
Spirit of Goodyear has a top speed of about 50 mph- depending on the wind conditions.
It will be replaced with a new, semi-rigid airship with a top speed of more than 70 mph.
The new zeppelin is currently under construction in Akron.

I have to admit...I genuinely enjoyed Flightplan with Jodie Foster in a Panic Room-like lead and I probably should have....I mean, the video rental stores sure had me wait long enough for a copy -- no, scrap that: I never even RECEIVED a copy from my local store they were always so out of the title...I actually snubbed it from one of those DVD rental machines outside a supermarket. With such a hoopla surrounding the rental demand for this title, I wanted to be blown from my seat...the film wasnt THAT good, but it was refreshingly entertaining nonetheless, to the point that it is forcing me to consider a purchase at some point down the road. It may be something you revisit from time to time; I cant really say the same about Panic Room, which always to me feels more like a good rental.
The plot gets undeniably clichéd by the last frames of the picture, but until that point, you're kept in suspense and dragged into a great "what is going on?" and "who dun it?" kind of thriller that genuinely keeps you interested, as opposed to most of the crap that crawls out of Hollywood studios as of late. There are extremely good audio and visual treats to accompany this on the DVD release by Touchstone, but I will get into that later for all you Polk-a-Holics. The opening sequence finds Foster sitting in some train station in Germany, where we witness flashback scenes to her and her husband and something going wrong -- apparently, the husband had died by "falling" off the roof of their home, but this isnt explained right away. Foster's character works for a firm in Berlin that supplies parts to build new high-tech jet airplanes, one of which she is flying on to bring her husband's body back to Long Island, New York for burial with her daughter. Once on board this plane that resembles something like a luxury hotel in Vegas, with lounges galore and aisles so wide you wouldnt mind spending a couple of hours in them, we know something is about to "be up;" of course, the end of the film unfortunately turns into a copy of the Wesley Snipes hijacking thriller Passenger 57, complete with a beautiful female conspirator working for a main thief and posing as a stewardess, but up until then, the pacing is all excitement riddled, if a bit too Foster-intensive (as the film has been accused of via other online reviewers and which I agree with to a point).
Foster is first on board this massive new jet airplane scheduled to take them from Germany to New York, and she tells the young daughter (who has apparently suffered a trauma from the father's death) that her company she works for was instrumental in creating the engines for this plane. Once onboard the luxury plane, another American family gets onboard and sits right in front of Foster and her daughter and immediately begin to annoy her as they're rude, obnoxious and loud. And we've all been in that situation before on a plane. It sucks. A man flying by himself, also with an American "accent" it seems, sits just behind and to the right of Foster, and makes small talk about the family in front of her and the noise they're making. Things start to get weird once the plane takes off for New York, and Foster falls asleep in her seat, only to wake up to find that her daughter is not sitting beside her in the aisle (in the window seat) any longer. She gets up and searches the aisles of the plane, but cannot find her. The tension builds successfully here, as Foster's character starts off in a rather level-headed manner, searching the aisles and talking to the stewardesses about losing her daughter on the plane and then systematically snowballing into a frenzy-infused panic to the point that she is desperate and hysterical, running to the front of the plane and banging on the cockpit door demanding to talk to the captain -- something not that smart to do post-September 11. We discover who the man was that was speaking with her in the seat just behind her -- an air marshal who immediately puts her into handcuffs and tells the pilot that Foster needs to speak with him.
Foster explains to the pilot that she had come onboard with her daughter, fallen asleep and now the little girl is gone -- she demands the plane be searched, but the stewardess staff dont seem to be too helpful, and the pilot ends up demanding to see Foster's boarding pass for her daughter which has also mysteriously disappeared. The flight attendants tell her and the pilot that they have no record for a girl traveling with her on their passenger manifest and they didnt even see Foster get on a plane with a little girl, making her believe she may have imagined this whole thing about coming onboard with a daughter; the pilot asks Foster if she had anything alcoholic to drink on the flight, or if she is on medication of some kind. Foster admits to being on an anxiety medication, but continues to defend the fact that she indeed brought a daughter onboard and that the plane be searched. The crew gets instructions from the pilot to search the whole plane for the little girl, but she still doesnt turn up. The air marshal is being kept busy with Foster's character as she begins to spiral out of control, desperate to find the girl she claims she came onboard with, even running into two Arab passengers who she accuses of looking into the windows of her home in Berlin the night before this flight...the Arab men take the accusations personally, thinking everyone on the flight wants to accuse them of being terrorists, but in Foster's mind, she believes they want to hijack the plane and use her daughter as a hostage -- that's how far "gone" she is from all this.

These are really cute. I especially like that they are custom adjustable and you don't have to worry about them falling off your little one's head. In addition, I like that they are foam and therefore don't get tangled or caught in your child's head. Very good deal. I would recommend these to anyone.
