Review + Giveaway: Choiix Wave Stand for iPad
The Choiix Wave Stand for iPad is an aluminum holder that will work for any tablet. It's beautiful looking -- almost Apple-esque -- well-made, sturdy, and inexpensive, what's not to love?
The Wave Stand has lots of nice touches like rubberized feet to keep it in place even when you're tapping, typing and prodding at your iPad. The back of the stand is also rubberized and grooved to keep your iPad from slipping down or out. You can easily adjust angles and because it's strong, it stays right where you want it. You can use it with your iPad in either portrait or landscape mode, though in landscape mode pushing the iPad home button does make it wiggle a bit. (You can use your iOS 5 multitasking gestures to get around that.)
I've been using it all the time and I find it absolutely amazing. I use it at the table so I can browse the web while eating, on the counter while cooking, and on the desk while typing.
Best of all, Choiix is going to give one away to a lucky TiPb reader, so if you want in all you have to do is leave a comment below telling me how you would use the Wave Stand.

I would give this to my wife as a gift, that way she could setup her iPad on the stand, for when she is in the kitchen or elsewhere doing stuff, and wants to have the iPad handy, but can't just set it down.

I work in a lab environment and use my iPad all the time. U have a homemade stand but it's jank.
I'd love to have this stand to use my iPad as a monitor when using my bluetooth keyboard!
I would it for entertainment, having a good way to hold my iPad while i watch movies and being able to have it on an exact angle that im comfortable with it, and I would also use it to show my parents videos and website so that they would not have to fuss about holding it and accidentally pressing something! I would find much use out of this :)

Just bought an iPad2 for my daughter for Christmas. This would be a great addition for her. She is disabled and it would be so helpful for her to use her new iPad.

We use our iPad in the kitchen for both recipes and streaming video/email. This stand would pair up nicely with the stainless steel appliances. :)
I would use watching Liveatream....
I would use it for my wife's iPad ostensibly, but really for my Kindle DX. (It looks as if Amazon is getting ready to release a new DX, and their accessories are history.
Just in case I don't win one, where can I buy it?
I would use with keyboard
I would use it while teaching...
I would use the Wave to prop up my iPad to watch TiPb live chats, of course!
Awesome. Can't wait to put the new ipad2 I just ordered in this.
I bought my mom an ipad. This would make a great stand for her to use instead of just laying it flat on the counter.
I would use it at home while watching football
I'd use it to stand up my iPad... as intended...
I bought my wife an iPad and she needs it to stand it up in the kitchen while making noms.
I would like to attach a "floating" standing desk to the wall and use this fantastic looking stand with my iPad2 and Apple's wireless bluetooth keyboard. It would be so cool and futuristic. Ahhhh yes!
I would use this to watch movies and play games with the family. Great way to stand the ipad up without little fingers touching it.
I could and would use the choiix wave stand at my grandkids athletic events to more easily utilize my ipad for score keeping and note taking
Heck there are tons of ways to use this thing watching movies, alarm clock, air play, second monitor. I would do all of them with it.
I need a sturdier stand for work, currently I use the smart cover, which is nice and all, but sometimes the iPad wobbles when I use it.
There are many ways I'd use this. The question would be who gets to use it, me or my wife!
Looks much sturdier than my fold back cover & would allow me to type easier!
I would use this to make a nice dual display for my laptop. One can never have too much screen real estate.
Love it! I think I'd just have it on my desk at work to show off the glory of my iPad 2!! :)
When I travel, I have to edit photos on only 1 monitor. With this stand and the air display would make my workflow on the road much faster.
This would be PERFECT! I need a stand for the kitchen. I usually lean my iPad against the wall when I am cooking (the iPad is a great recipe book), but when you turn the garbage disposal on, the counter vibrates and the iPad slips down onto the counter/cutting-board I was just cutting chicken on.
I would give this to my sister-in-law for Christmas.
That's perfect for using my iPad with my laptop as an extended desktop.
I would use this in my office in Baghdad for teleconferences with family and friends.
I currently have the original iPad and have stuck with the standard apple case since launch. It would be perfect for my office desk. I tend to use my iPad more then my desktop from time to time.
I'd use this to position my iPad for video demos of my app. And, since it doesn't seem to be for sale through any outlet I could find, I need to win this . . .
This would be great to hold my iPad 2 while my son is Skype-ing with his Nana!
I'd use it with my Marching band as well as with the team I coach in youth basketball... both use music for various movement warmups that I have on my iPad.
Beautifully designed!!! I would use this in the kitchen while "trying" to cook! My wife says I can' t cook but with this and an iPad, I'll show her!!!
Please pickme to win for my anniversary wedding present
I would use it for reading my iBooks! :) Also saw someone mention for when using the recipe apps, that would be handy then as well! :)
Would use it to FaceTime with the family while I travel. Looks very solid!
This stand is awesome just what I need to read my ebooks for school and do face. Wish I could win be great Xmas gift for myself.
This stand is awesome just what I need to read my ebooks for school and do face. Wish I could win be great Xmas gift for myself.
I could find a million uses for this thing - what a great stand to replace the folding case I have on there now. Reading an e-book, FaceTime with my daughter and family out of town, watching videos (Mobile Nations video podcasts) at my desk......
I would use this as a stand when 1) I use the Ipad as an external monitor at my desk and 2) preparing meals in the kitchen 3) use it when I have guests over to play music and show pictures 4) use it to show pictures when I am doing a presentation for my job.
I would use it in my Middle School world history classroom, especially after learning how to use my iPad as a digital whiteboard (marking up maps, power points) and show students Apps including the Time Magazine App and Google Earth.
great contest! i use it in my office for show the items of my magazine! and how external video about items presentation! ;)
I would use it as a stand for sheet music, since I use my iPad primarily for playing guitar :)
I would definitely use it tutoring and to show my 2 new little pit bull puppies cute You tube videos of puppies just like them. The student I tutor loves zoo webcams like Pocket Zoo HD and Penguins. My puppies are curious and like anything with action. Right now my little girl puppy is in surgery for a hernia. I am a little concerned because she is so tiny. Her brother is in my lap sound asleep and snoring. I am keeping my mind occupied by writing this!
I'd be able to have a less cluttered desk when in the office and have a nice stand for presentations, etc...
I'd be able to have a less cluttered desk when in the office and have a nice stand for presentations, etc...
As I use my iPad in class to keep track of my notes for lecture/discussion, a stand with multiple angles wold be o much better than leaning the iPad against a couple of books.
This stand would be on my nightstand next to my bed for the iPad 2
I would love one for my wife. She just recently lost use of her left hand. She uses her IPad for work and play.
Being an attorney I use my iPad all day long. At present I do not have a stand as I just got the IPad. I would use the stand to propl up the iPad so I can look at evidence and tril presentations. It would also be useful in court to have the iPad standing up so I can refer to it.
Too many uses to count, let's see: on my desk next to my computer monitor, when reading on my desk, on my night stand to use as a lock, on the kitchen counter reading a recipe, hold my iPad up to view a movie, etc.....
How would you use it? Probably as a stand;)
i would love to win this most amazing spectacular device holder thingy it looks so back to the future-ish it would be so kool if i could be the one with it on my gadget filled desk PLEASE PICK ME!!!
I would use the stand to multitask when in Webex meetings. It would be like having a dual monitor without the dual monitor investment
sure would beat tryin to prop it up against a couple of books...
I use my ipad all the time, this would be perfect for me!
I have a small business making jams and jellies and this stand would really come in handy while in the kitchen.
Any chance you will give an iPad to go with the stand?? No? For now, I'd stick a Kindle on it for reading and hope for a smaller iPad option next year.
I would use the stand to set up the iPad as a second monitor. It would be a great help.
Cooking definitely, and also on airplanes, where you have all of 10 horizontal inches to position all of your entertainment equipment.
I have no witty sayings, no creative kinds of uses,
I really want this stand and make no lame excuses.
I read Tipb, every morning, noon and night,
Naming me the winner would only make it right.
iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, we've got each and every one,
Having this Choiix Wave Stand would make things much more fun!
I would use it for presentations to clients, in-office work since iPad2 replaced my desktop, and watch movies during down time...
i would give this to my girlfriend that has a galaxy 10.1 even though she always uses my ipad 2! might have her use hers more since she got a horrible case for it
I would give it to my Dad for Christmas (he just got an iPad)
I'm going to use this beautiful stand with my Ipad2. This is great for watching movies on Netflix as well browsing the internet. And this is one Christmas present I would love to have.
This stand would work perfect at my business. I use an iPad to display pictures/ advertisements for my clients, which currently I have a plate holder as a stand.
I would use it to watch Netflix and movies and to listen music and at night my sleep machine can't sleep with out it best sleeping app lol i don't have a stand and i was looking to get one and this looks amazing so apple like and the protective plastic is nice and secure but at the same time insures no scratches witch it is laking in must stands so please please let me have it i never win anything
I just got my iPad and have been looking for a stand. Your review convinced me that this is the one for me. Love the show. Thanks.
So, I've spent about 20 years looking for the perfect bedside clock. They were too bright, not bright enough, numbers too small, did not have a long enough cord, would not play a musical alarm, projected the time on the ceiling, which I couldn't read without my glasses. I just wanted something to see the time large enough without waking completely-- so that when I was paranoid of sleeping through my alarm, I could go back to sleep. Strange, I know.
Ipad has solved all of this with Night Stand. Love IT!!!
But my rolled up cover is not holding the pad at quite the right angle. I have to sit up a bit, which wakes me up just too much.
I need your help!
I would use this with my Numark iDJ Live. I recently DJ'd at my friend's birthday party and he got a little drunk and fell over my iPad (destroying the plastic stand that the iDJ unit came with). Now my iPad is 'stand-less' when I am DJing so having this stand would definitely make things a lot better :) Please pick me ^_^
I would use it to place the iPad on the table next to my iMac to let me look on my instant messages.
I would use it for my kids...sticky food all over the table...this keeps it off the table, out of the the mess!
This would be great for me when I type. I like this stand and hope that I win
I would love to win this. I have been looking for something like this to use at my desk while working so I can see the new ios5 notification that pop up.
I have a smart cover (and love it), but it really doesn't achieve the proper angle for many things when standing up in the more vertical position (it's perfect in the more 'laying down' position). So, I'd use this while typing with a BT keyboard, in the kitchen while cooking, or to just hold the iPad up at my desk while I'm working on my desktop (I kind of work between my iPad and desktop as I work).
just leave it on my table lol
I would love to win this cool stand! I take the stand with me as I go to church and when I am home I would like to use to as a night stand for my Ipad 2.
I'd wrap it up and give it to my lovely wife to use with er IPAD2. Her smart cover is such a wimpy stand and i'm always afraid the kids will knock it over and damage her IPAD2.
I need this great stand so I can watch your iPad Live video podcasts without dropping my iPad with sheer excitement! Love your shows
I'd be able to watch movies while I knit, and take it with me to type stories in coffee shops. Please choose me!
I'd be able to watch movies while I knit, and take it with me to type stories in coffee shops. Please choose me!
I would use this stand as an incentive to buy an iPad!

I could definitely use this to pop on a movie on my iPad while I'm trying to play with / hold my 5 month old son Hunter!
I would use it stand to hold the iPad when I am using it as a Reference Tool during my DIY projects.
i would use it in my future office job if i ever get one
This case is the bomb I wound love to Rock my iPad 2 with this case!!!!
I'd use it in the kitchen while trying out a new recipe
Looks like a great stand. It would definitely sit on my desk in my home office allowing me to easily see and access my iPad.
I use my iPad 2 for movies and it seems like it would be the perfect stand when I have it connected to my TV. THANKS!
I am thinking of using the iPad to record a series of lectures for students and this stand would be ideal to position the device!
Would love to have one of these holders instead of using books to prop it up
Hopefully I am not top late for this. I have been looking for the right stand, this is it. Thank you for this opportunity.
I would love to win this but I may be too late to enter the contest. I would use it mostly to watch movies or facetime.
On my desk, on the deck, as a FaceTime stand, this would be stellar!
i'd use it to prop up my pad while i write my first novel!
I would use the choiix stand when ever I'm at my desk away from home, and sure since it folds up nice I can take it literally everywhere. It looks awrsome
I would use it as an awesome stand for my iPad and put it in my bedroom as a stand to use it as a tv. Please pick me!
This looks awesome and would go great on the desk of a developer.
Please pick me
I would love to win one for my iPad!
I too found it hard to get the right CSS information all in one place for the different iOS devices, hence the blog article.

Two arms, with you at the center
Samsung may be giving the Milky Way a run for its money with their 10.1" Galaxy Tab. After all, does the Milky Way give you access to thousands of apps from the Android Market, a beautiful 720p screen for watching your favorite movies and TV shows, and come in a thin, portable 0.34" body? Current scientific evidence suggests it doesn't. Thankfully, the Samsung Galaxy Tab does. And, while you may only be part of the Milky Way Galaxy, Samsung's Media Hub and Social Hub functionality give you total control over your own personal galaxy. Download, rent, and synch your favorite movies and music over five devices with Samsung's Media Hub, and organize your Facebook, Twitter, and other social sites with their Social Hub. There's even a Reader Hub that lets you manage your digital books, magazines, and newspapers. Add in an optional HDMI adapter, and you can display your favorite content directly on any HDTV, linking up your Galaxy Tab with the broader universe that is your home theater system. Of course, it's not all just fun and games on the Galaxy (although, a lot of it is). Multi-tasking is simple with the Honeycomb tablet OS, and with built-in programs like Google Maps, access to your Gmail account, and any number of apps to make your work day just a little bit easier, you'll be able to do more, better, faster. It's a good thing that 16GB of storage gives you a lot of space to use. This is one big Galaxy.

I bought these as a party favor for a bachelorette party. They were the perfect touch to thank people for coming. Some of them were a little miss colored but not bad enough for me to say don't buy them (that is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5). For the price you are paying for these it is a great buy!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an immediate, juicy wine with good depth and fine overall balance. Dark fruit, smoke, tobacco and herbs all add complexity on a finish supported by firm yet well-integrated tannins."

Traditional Lacing
No fancy wires, reels, or handles, just a couple of laces for that tried and true feel and customized fit.
NEW Asym Speed Hooks
Allow for quicker and easier lace engagement and pulling power with redesigned hooks that help lock laces in place.
Flex / Response
Shrinkage™ Footprint Reduction Technology
Reduces the boot's overall footprint one full size, meaning a men's size 10 fits like a size 10, but has the footprint of a typical size 9. Shorter, lighter, sleeker—never suffer from toe drag again.
Soft Flex Thin Profile 3D® Molded Tongue
Adjusting the profile of the tongue's thickness controls its flex, enhances its ability to wrap, and reduces shell/liner stack-up for improved comfort. Look for soft, medium, or firm flexing options throughout the line.
Cushioning / Traction
NEW DynoLite Outsole
Superior cushioning, improved board feel, and consistent support in a 20% lighter weight construction. Made entirely of an exclusive cushioning compound specially formulated to withstand repeated impacts and freezing temps for long lasting shock absorption.
NEW Total Comfort Construction
Get an instantly broken-in feel right out of the box. Total Comfort's industry-exclusive construction eliminates the break-in period for a fit that feels just as good from day 1 to 100.
Snow-Proof Internal Gusset
All Burton boot tongues feature an internal gusset construction to completely seal the lower zone of the boot, keeping feet warm and dry.
Level 1 Molded EVA Footbed
Lightweight and long-lasting shock absorption.
NEW Phantom 2.0 Construction
Since the first modified Sorels, snowboard boots have been a two-part equation of shell plus liner. Phantom changes the template by fusing shell and liner into one—creating a single entity that is not only lighter weight, but also easier to slip on or slide off. New for this season we've improved heel hold and increased padding for a smoother, even more comfortable ride.
Ultimate Set-up
For the best performance, ride these together

Q&A Open Forum
Jimmy Akin was born in Texas and grew up nominally Protestant. At age 20 he experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant pastor or seminary professor, Jimmy started an intensive study of the Bible, but the more he immersed himself in Scripture, the more he found it to support the Catholic faith. Eventually, he was compelled in conscience to enter the Catholic Church, which he did in 1992. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in the book Surprised By Truth.
Akin is a Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a member on the Catholic Answers Speakers Bureau, a weekly guest on the global radio program, Catholic Answers LIVE, a contributing editor for Catholic Answers Magazine, and the author of numerous publications, including the books Mass Confusion, The Salvation Controversy, The Fathers Know Best, and Mass Revision.
His personal blog is www.jimmyakin.org.
The Salvation Controversy is a serious work by a serious and supremely-gifted defender of the faith on a topic of central concern for everyone. If it elicits the response it deserves, then all of us, whatever our confessional commitments, will at least be clearer about what really does divide us. And what does not.

- Health Notes
RiboseRiboseThis nutrient has been used in connection with the following health goals
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:Heart & Circulatory HealthSee Related Concerns (1)CloseAnginaDose: Refer to label instructionsIn one study, men with severe coronary heart disease who took ribose were able to exercise significantly longer than those taking placebo before experiencing chest pain and before abnormalities appeared on their electrocardiogram (ECG).(more)Athletic PerformanceDose: Refer to label instructionsRibose is a type of sugar used by the body to make the energy-containing substance adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which gets depleted during intense exercise. Reports have suggested that taking ribose might increase power during short, intense bouts of exercise.(more)AnginaDose: Refer to label instructions
In a controlled study, men with severe coronary heart disease were given an exercise test, after which they took either 15 grams of ribose or a placebo four times daily for three days. Compared with the initial test, men taking ribose were able to exercise significantly longer before experiencing chest pain and before abnormalities appeared on their electrocardiogram (ECG), but only the ECG changes were significantly improved compared with those in the placebo group.1 Sports supplement manufacturers recommend 1 to 10 grams per day of ribose, while heart disease patients and people with rare enzyme deficiencies have been given up to 60 grams per day.ReferencesAthletic PerformanceDose: Refer to label instructions
Ribose is a type of sugar used by the body to make the energy-containing substance adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Intense exercise depletes muscle cells of ATP as well as the ATP precursors made from ribose,1, 2 though these deficits are typically replaced within minutes.3 Unpublished reports suggested that ribose supplementation might increase power during short, intense bouts of exercise.4, 5 However, in a double-blind study, exercisers took four grams of ribose four times per day during a six-day strength-training regimen, and no effects on muscle power or ATP recovery in exercised muscles were found.6 In two other controlled studies, either 10 grams of ribose per day for five days or 8 grams every 12 hours for 36 hours resulted in only minor improvements in some measures of performance during repetitive sprint cycling.7, 8References

I started taking this because my Doctor recommended it. I have fibromyalgia and there are times when I am so fatigued I find it difficult just to make it through the day. Ribose has helped me get that extra boost that I need. It tastes good with just water - it has a sweet taste. I also like to sprinkle it on oatmeal instead of sugar at breakfast. Im grateful my Doctor advised me on this product.

I'm hoping for a noticeable sonic upgrade but have not heard of the quality of this disc from anyone. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the sound quality of this MSFL disc? How about their stuff in general? Is it worth the bucks to pick it up?

Well, I've had the 2250 for a while now and think its time to share some thoughts.
The unit itself: Very clean looking piece, not flashy or lit up with a ton of signal indicator lights (which I like). All hookups are very solid and setting it up was easy!
Setup: I must admit at first I was completely unimpressed, but this however was my fault completely. Thanks to some extremely helpful people on the forum I figured out that I was supposed to re-run Audyssey and once that was done it became the daylight and dark difference I had been looking for as far as sound!!
Sound: As mentioned in the title and my sig, I have the amp hooked to a pair of RTi12s. I knew right off the bat that these things were lacking something after I hooked them up to an entry-level AVR @ 80wpc. It was all I could afford at the time and it worked. I will say though that the sound was far and away better than the Sony HTiB system I had come from!!
I'll share what I've noticed and attempt to explain it. First, I've never noticed my speakers being 'bright' so whether its a 'warmer' sound, I can not say. The only thing I can describe is that it sounds transparent and by that I mean it sounds like it did coming out of the Onk, but with way more authority! Details throughout the sound range were good coming from the Onk but are even better through the Parasound, I can actually hear the guy in the band plucking the bass guitar for instance. Highs are clear but not harsh at all and mids are fuller if you get what I mean. On to the bass department which is one of my favorite things. That said, I do NOT like over done bass (like trunk rattling which is very common here) but I do like to 'feel' it. The lows are so much better now! It actually fills the room like you'd expect with a tower thats so large. It will punch hard and quick!! I can see why some have said that a sub may not be required with good amplification, but of course for the HT aspect I will definately invest in a sub later on. I do like that my 12s can now be run at full range even with a sub to help fill the room with bass except in only the lowest freqs. Both with movies and music I am EXTREMELY pleased with the effect the 2250 has had on my listening experience!! My towers now sound like they look...BIG! When taking the volume to upper levels, the 2250 and the 12s will effortlessly go to unbearable levels and not even begin to sweat!
A couple of things to keep in mind. One is I bought this (like everything in my setup really) unheard/untested, just going on recommendations from the folks here and wasn't disappointed!! Two, if there are any questions about this setup please feel free to ask! I completely realize I'm no audio scholar and there are probably areas I haven't thought to address that would be very informative! Thanks again to all who helped and answered questions and threads during this process!!

Mortgages are great finance vehicles – they allow us to purchase our own homes. Without such a vehicle, there is a good chance that most of us would never be able to afford the home of our dreams. This convenience, however, comes at a price and it is a pretty steep one. If you only pay the minimum monthly installment, you will end up repaying not only the capital amount borrowed but also around about double that amount in interest as well.
The way around this is to put as much extra money as you can afford into your bond and repaying it earlier. By creating and sticking to a strict monthly budget, you can work at owning your own home free and clear in a few years and saving a bundle in interest.
Start off by listing all your expenses – split these into non-negotiable expenses like the bond, the car loan, etc. and those that can fluctuate, like entertainment, etc. As things currently stand, how much disposable income do you have? Where is your money going? Are there any expenses you can cut down on?
For example, let's say you have cable TV, do you have the premium package? How much TV can you actually watch? How about entertainment? Any ways to have fun with friends that don't involve spending money? Also look at ways of saving on groceries and power bills – for example, try, as far as possible, to cook double quantities of meals – freeze half – you will save yourself time, the problem of cooking the next meal from scratch and have some backup for those days when you simply cannot face the idea of cooking.
Check your debt levels – if you have credit card debt with high interest rates, be sure to repay those as a priority. Then apply the payments that you were making there to your mortgage. Contact your lender and check what their policy is on extra loan payments. (Some lenders only apply the extra payments once annually – no good for you at all.) Know how to use a mortgage calculator on www.lacve.com/.
Let them know that you plan to pay extra into the loan and that that extra payment should be applied to the capital amount. Set up a separate payment order for the extra amount. Make the extra payment as soon after you are paid as you are able to to get the full benefit of the interest saved.

The good news is Sandra will be (no doubt fully) occupied with BOTB for the next 5 weeks (almost til the end of the GP) - so maybe we won't see her until the GPF, if at all.
And the good news is Terry's back!
The good news is Sandra will be (no doubt fully) occupied with BOTB for the next 5 weeks (almost til the end of the GP) - so maybe we won't see her until the GPF, if at all.
And the good news is Terry's back!
Yay! Glad to know Terry will be back!
Also, what happened to Peggy Flaming? I enjoyed her commentary.
This will be interesting.
I'm really psyched for Terry Gannon's return to skating commentary.
YAY TERRY!!!!!!!! Boy have I missed hearing his voice during skating competitions!
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
"I guess I'm just...I'm not used to someone putting me first." -Emma, Once Upon a Time, episode 2x3, Lady of the Lake
Yay for Terry Gannon. I'm glad he got to host the skating show on Universal Sports during the Olympics, too. Tara's not bad at commentary. But Michael Weiss is. Even though most here thought he did a good job last year, I found I could not HEAR OR WATCH PROGRAMS because of his incessant talking over the music, the endings. He makes every sentence 50x longer than necessary, and really reduces the impact of choreography and interpretation because I can't actually see the programs themselves over his description of the elements. Ugh.
That's great news! Terry Gannon was a commentator for a golf tournament I went to this past weekend. I tried to get a peek at him but didn't see the golf channel booth.
I don't remember where it was, but I seem to recall Katarina Witt doing a fair job at commentary.
I'd prefer Paul Wylie to Michael Weiss, but I do think Weiss has really grown and improved as an analyst. But having Terry back and at least temporarily getting rid of Sandra (crossing my fingers it is a permanent move, though I doubt the skate gods would be so kind to me) is just music to my ears.
I wonder if the dude knows how much we skatin' freaks love him.
I just love that unlike some commentators (I'm looking at YOU, Tom Hammond), Terry actually looked/sounded like he (1) did his prep work, (2) attempted correct name pronounciation, and (3) basically acted like he gave a genuine crap.
Great News #1: TERRY and TARA
Great News #2: No Sandra Bezik!
but...Where's Johnny???? Johnny was the best freakin' part of the commentating team for Worlds 2011. I like Micheal Weiss but Johnny was spectacular.
"Marge, if you're going to get mad at me every time I do something stupid, then I guess I'm just going to have to stop doing stupid things!" - Homer Simpson in the Mr. Plow episode
You win some and you lose some
Thrilled Terry is back
Not thrilled that Tara is back. She didn't impress me at all too much "it's all about me" IMHO.
And to defend Tom Hammond... I once sat next to him on a flight. He did do prep work. It just wasn't his strong sport, but he worked on being prepared. I didn't really like him, but it's more the "style" of his voice that got to me...

|Seahawks Rebound With 9-1 Win Over JMU
HARRISONBURG, Virginia - Jordan Ramsey delivered six inning of one-run baseball and Drew Farber knocked in three runs as UNCW topped James Madison, 9-1, in Colonial Athletic Association baseball action on Saturday at Veterans Memorial Park.
The Seahawks (12-7, 1-1 CAA) halted the Dukes (11-7, 4-1 CAA) nine-game winning streak, which ranked fifth in the nation.
Ramsey (2-2) scattered 10 hits and walked two while striking out five. The Seahawk bullpen of Kelly Secrest, Justin Livengood and Jack Lane allowed just one base runner in the final three innings.
Luke Drayer (2-1) was the tough-luck loser for JMU, allowing two runs, one earned, on just two hits and three walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.
Matt Tenaglia and Johnny Bladel each had three hits for the Dukes and Cole McInturff added two hits.
UNCW rallied from a 1-0 deficit in the sixth with seven runs to take a commanding lead. The Seahawks strung together five straight hits in the frame.
Up next: The series concludes on Sunday with a 2 p.m. start. Lefthander Christian MacDonad (2-0, 3.47 ERA) will make the start for the Seahawks while the Dukes counter with righthander Mike Howerton (2-0, 5.85 ERA).
How it happened: Trailing 1-0 in the top of the sixth, UNCW sent 12 batters to the plate, scoring seven runs to take the lead. Luke Dunlap led off with the first of three JMU walks issued in the inning and Dick put runners on first and second with a walk of his own. Ryan LaGrange then ignited the Seahawk lineup with the first of five consecutive hits off JMU pitchers. LaGrange lined a two-run single and Farber plated two with a single off the first base bag into right field.
Early Turning Point: JMU loaded the bases in the first and looked to take an early lead, but Chad Carroll's single through the right side hit Tenaglia to kill the play and put runners back on second and third. Ramsey then rolled an inning-ending ground ball double play to end the threat.
Inside the numbers: UNCW scored runners seven times in 16 opportunities on the evening and scored a runner from third on 5-of-6 opportunities ... JMU recorded just one out in the outfield (LaGrange in the 9th) ... There were no extra base hits on the game for either lineup ... Ramsey has an ERA of 0.38 in his last 28 and 2/3 innings.
Notes: UNCW snapped a five-game losing skid to the Dukes in Harrisonburg ... JMU was averaging 11.8 runs per game during their nine-game winning streak ... Michael Bass extended his hitting streak to 15 games and his on base streak to 21 ... Luke Dunlap drew four walks, he had three total on the season entering the game ... Tyler Molinaro and LaGrange pushed their hitting streaks to eight.

It's all documented in this thread (but a pain to wade through all the pages! ).
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
I am not quite sure if Osmond can be considered now. Winning in Oberstdorf gave her the opportunity to be included in the list of alternates, but not at the top. They will still continue to select from the top 5 of the SB.
As for the airfare factor (Glebova training in USA), there is a rule that the GP organizers pay for the air tickets from/to the country the skater represents. They may but not obliged to pay for the ticket from/to the countries where they train.
So do we know for sure that Glebova repplaced Miki?
That's what I'm referring to.However, Nagasu regretted having just one Grand Prix event so far.
"I don't have a chance getting to the Final," she noted. "Hopefully I'll skate my best and get two (Grand Prix) next year."
Had she still been with Frank Carroll, a cold phone would have been enough to secure 2 spots.
^ If Kexin Zhang is out, will Mirai frickin finally get her 2nd GP? The way of picking skaters for GPs out of the alternates list is messed up. Has it always been like this?
I'm rooting for Osmond, if only for sheer hilarity.
If Mirai goes without a 2nd GP, she will have time to focus on training, and maybe it will stoke the fires to produce good results. That will be a good thing.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
This is just so irritating. The ISU should be assigning skaters to GPs. You can't claim your GP series to be for top ranked skaters when you allow the hosts to have a say in the picks. It's just killing some of the prestige of the whole thing. If a host can't afford the travel costs of the assigned skaters, then don't host. I tend to doubt that a country would refuse to host just because they have to invite Mirai to their competition instead of Gao or Glebova. UGH. Why must the ISU be so inept.
SUN- Kaetlyn's score from Junior Worlds puts her in the top 5 SB score of those on the alternate list yet to be assigned to 2 GP events, which is what they are choosing from.

"The Community Project" Snowboarding Film
Oakley, Inc. and Red Bull in conjunction with 1242 Productions today announced the upcoming release of "The Community Project", a super 16mm and 35mm snowboarding film. Rather than the typical video format where each rider works towards an individual segment, this film is a group effort based around different locations and the lifestyle of snowboarding. "The Community Project," takes the viewer on an action-packed adventure through many of the world's best locations: New Zealand, Japan, Aspen, British Columbia, Jackson Hole, Norway, Alaska and Whistler/Blackcomb to name a few.
"This represents the first video effort for Oakley and 1242 Productions," said Pat McIlvain, Oakley Global Sports Marketing Director. "Teaming up with Travis Rice and all of our outstanding athletes showcases the strength and creativity of Oakley's snowboarding team and gives a fresh vision to the snowboarding community."
The film features top talent including: Travis Rice, JJ Thomas, Zach Leach, Tyler Lepore, Terje Haakonsen, Bryan Iguchi, Andy Finch, Kyle Clancy, Eero Ettala and Shaun White, and introduces up and coming riders such as Colin Langlois, Sammy Luebke, Pat Moore and others.
Shot on Super 16mm film, the production team includes Rich Goodwin a veteran cinematographer with more than nine years experience in snowboard filmmaking, accomplished editor and cinematographer Curt Morgan, and Circe Wallace and Travis Rice serving as producers. Additional production management features Matt Goodman, a retired pro and accomplished film-maker, and Matty Swanson of Oakley sports marketing. This film is executive produced by 1242 Productions and Pat McIlvain along with Travis Rice. This film is supported primarily by Oakley and Red Bull.
The world premiere will take place on September 7 at the Oakley headquarters in Foothill Ranch, Calif. "The Community Project" will be sold by Oakley retailers, Ally distribution, Champion Visions, Method Media, and Platinum distribution. A world premiere tour is also slated to launch in the fall with dates and locations to be announced at a later date.

Apple sues Samsung, accuses them of copying iPhone, iPad [Updated]
Apple is suing Samsung, claiming Samsung's Galaxy line of phones and tablets copy the look and feel of iPhone and iPad.
"Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products."
Samsung's Galaxy line has been one of the most commercially successful range of Android products to date but have also been among the most iOS-like in terms of interface conventions, thanks to Samsung's TouchWiz. Ironically, Samsung is also one of Apple's more important manufacturing partners, producing components for iPhone and iPad both.
This is the third Android-based lawsuit launched by Apple, who sued HTC last year -- HTC has reached a licensing deal with Microsoft, ironically, for Google's Android -- and Motorola back in October.
UPDATE: More from Apple, and an illustrative image, above. [Mobilized]
"It's no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging," an Apple representative told Mobilized. "This kind of blatant copying is wrong, and we need to protect Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas."
UPDATE 2: As Jon points out in the comments, Apple is legally obligated to defend its trademarks or it risks losing them. Likewise asserting patents for a public company in a highly competitive market is the responsibility of of its management. When and against whom it chooses to litigate them, however, is interesting.
UPDATE 3: Samsung has a preliminary response [AFP]
"Samsung will respond actively to this legal action taken against us through appropriate legal measures to protect our intellectual property," the South Korean firm said in a statement.
"Apple is one of our key buyers of semiconductors and display panels. However, we have no choice but respond strongly this time," an unidentified official was quoted as saying.
UPDATE 4: Former Engadget editor (and lawyer) Nilay Patel gives a break down of the suit, and his thoughts. [This Is My Next]
Taken as a group, it feels like a remarkably solid case — Samsung can't just up and countersue Apple with its own patents and hope to walk away with a handshake and a cross-license because of the various trademark, trade dress, and design patent claims. How the company decides to deal with those issues remains to be seen; there's no question in my mind that Samsung designed TouchWiz to look and feel as much like iOS as possible, and then marketed it as such.
There are 73 comments. Add yours.
If Apple wins this case..could they potentially go after anybody with rows of icons on their touchscreen slate phone? I know Touchwiz is closer to iOS then most but it seems like it could set a dangerous precedent here.
I use a vanilla Android phone (Moto Droid 1) and a 3rd Gen 64GB Ipod Touch and I absolutely love both so I have no real vested interest in either side winning a court case here but I just don't want to see it come down to this when companies compete. Companies need to innovate, not sue over broad patents that probably should have never been granted int he first place.
Your crazy if you think the TouchWiz launcher is anything other than iOS. However some o the hardware Apple has no case with. Like the Captivate and the Nexus S
The iOS launcher is a launcher interface that's been on generic cell phones since Adam & Eve had cell phones.. .There is nothing UNIQUE to the iOS launcher.. it's generic as hell
no os had a icons like ios, they where all different things.
It was also an interface style that Apple used BEFORE smart phones were really around, called At Ease.
They also had tabs too.
Why would Apple insult themselves by saying their products looks like Samsung's?
I want specifics... I hope it's not the homescreen... a freaking row of icons .. other than that Touchwiz is just a more colorful Android homescreen.
I am an iPad and iPhone owner and suits like this sure seem ridiculous. My Windows tablets/slates look like the iPad too, and they came before the iPad. Likewise, my past Windows Phones & Dell Axiums weren't too dissimilar in design to the iPhone. Windows 3.1 and other OS's have had desktops with icons in rows for decades. Gimme a break! Don't be sue happy Apple, you look like the kid on the playground that tattle-tales. Don't use the courts as part of your business plan, please. They have enough to do. Same goes for you other companies.
Brian, I think your issue is with the patent office for granting the patent, not with Apple for defending its patent. Apple is obligated to defend its patents - if they don't the patents become invalid. And you can't honestly expect Apple (or any other company for that matter) not to try to patent every piece of technology it develops. That's part of technology development.
But Apple does not need to do it all. People want choice and somethings Apple does are not what people want.
@Chris what on earth are you talking about? "People want choice" ok? you still have a choice? nobody is holding a gun to your head to buy an iOS device. Go buy an android device then. There's your choice and there's the MARK you make on the industry as a consumer. Apple is not withholding any "choice" to anyone.
As far as the patent comment is concerned, the OP is right. Apple is obligated to defend this, if they don't then what's next? Are we supposed to just pick and choose which patents have ALREADY been approved are valid?
I guess we should just go back through ALL patents in the whole system and re-validate them to your liking then huh?
Does anyone else find the timing a little too convienent? Isn't their suit against HTC from a year ago heading to a judge for final decision soon, carrying an ITC recommendation to rule AGAINST Apple?
Incorrect. Trademark law requires you to defend your registered trademarks or lose them. Patents have no such condition.
You realize Microsoft Windows Is a copy of Apple's GUI? You know the whole lawsuit Windows 2.0 3.1?
Which is a copy fo Xerox sure sure but Apple paid and made arrangement for it and didn't just rip it off shamelessly. Microsoft just pretended they had a right to keep using it despite their limited license they had obtained from Apple.
It doesnt seem wise for apple to be pissing off its manufactures over minor details...
Patents don't apply only when they're convenient. In order for Apple to defend the integrity of its patent it is obligated to rigorously defend it. It couldn't not sue Samsung if it wanted to, unless it wanted to invalide the patent - which makes no sense.
Apple is not required to "vigorously defend" it's patents. The requirement you are thinking of is related to Trademarks, which is an entirely different area of law.
When it comes to patents, Apple may choose to enforce or not enforce as it sees fit, with no potential for losing the patent due to inaction.
Ah, so you are right, Ryan. My mistake.
In that case, this does make Apple's choice more interesting. Perhaps Apple is going after the more obviously similar Samsung skin in order to strengthen its position to defend the platform from Android, et al more broadly later.
What do you think?
... then Ford should sue Dodge and others for making PickUp trucks that have the same "style" of theirs... haha
Apple is Paranoid!!!
of course. Apple WANTS to take over the world much like how Jehovah Witness are spreading their crap. Steve jobs loves to say "PEOPLE WANT THIS. PEOPLE DONT WANT THAT"
It kind of pisses people off as people WANT large screen phones. THEY WANT 4G data and jobs is being butt hurt over it.
Any product, including electric devices act as a whole. There are plus and minuses to each feature that you add/remove. The cell phone industry intimately linked with the latest advances in IC industry. If you want 4G or a bigger screen, then you have to give up battery life and performance. Steve Jobs doesn't tell people what they want because of his ego, that would be counter productive and bad business. Apple's philosophy is to try and make the best product that can be created with today's technology, usually by creating exceptionally good software, sometimes by using innovative hardware designs. I just think it's stupid for a consumer, not in the industry, to be demanding fictional products that don't exist. You don't know what can and can't be done. You dkn't have a multi-billion dollar company at stake. Why do you feel the need to personally attack someone who's in this position? I think your problem with Steve Jobs has more to do with your ego than his.
So doesn't Samsung make parts for Apple? if I were them I'd pull production. If Apple really wants the parts they will drop the "lawsuit"
Apple doesn't need to be the only cell phone maker in the world. It will be like steve jobs suing all the clothing manfacters for not making black turrle necks and blue jeans.
And then they would get sued for breaching a contract to make the parts. Samsung needs to Apple to keep paying.
Ya pull samsung parts from products from apple and lose billions. You can run my bar anytime. Come on seriously.
You are such an ignorant idiot, I just wonder if you even read your own comments?
Apple uses SAMSUNG prossesors, memory, screens for their iPads, iPhones, and even the Macs use SAMSUNG-made SSDs. Apple has essentially crapped where it eats. SAMSUNG should supply other companies instead.
even so....i highly doubt samsung will stop supplying apple. Both companies need each other unless apple find a better supplier or samsung find another bulk buyer
BLATANT copying by Samsung. Shame on Samsung. Just look at the pictures.
shhhh Apple will sue you for using the Apple dictornary. magical, revolutionary, i , Apple, mac, pad, app store , apps .
holly f u c k. I was just sued!
Just this link out, Apple should also sue Google along with Samsung!
do you know thats not stocked android right thats samsung touchwiz on top of it not all android phones looks like that
Apple is scared of android, why else would they air these ads and go on the sue bandwagon?
I think some of you are misguided as to what the lawsuit is really about. My sister came for a visit and she had a Galaxy S from TMobile. I immediately thought it was an iPhone, until I saw the samsung logo. The phone is very similar in just the design itself, not even counting the software. Yes Samsung makes their hardware but this is just blatant copying. I hope they reach an agreement which seems more likely.
if you couldnt tell it was noit an iphone then you better get your eyes checked.
If it weren't for the logos on the TVs at Best Buy then I wouldn't be able to tell which TV belonged to which manufacturer. I see a potential case,....... not.
LMAO .. exactly ..a slab phone doesn't have many options as far design goes.
You all seem to be missing the point that Apple was granted a patent. If Samsung was granted a patent to the rectangular flat screen TV design then it could indeed sue every other company that made a similar design. Likewise, the patent office gave Apple the patent. If you don't think it should have been granted as a patent then your issue concerns patent reform. But it's stupid to just arbitrarily hate on Apple for defending their IP. Besides, your analogy implies that you acknowledge that Samsung's phone design and UI looks similar to Apple's phone design and UI, hence the reason Apple is suing them in the first place.
I bet someone has that patent but no one is dbag enough to sue over it. Grasping at the courts because of falling market share to Android is sad. Keep innovating not suing!
So isn't iPhone4 is a copy of LG Prada? I know that its fat and ugly but if Apple is thinking that Samsung Galaxy is a rip off, LG can say that iPhone4 is.
So why doesn't LG try and sue? Probably because they don't feel they have a leg to stand on
Unless LG can demonstrate that the Prada was being developed for 4-5 years prior to launch, then Apple would have prior art, effectively invalidating LG's claim.
I think Apple is being ridiculous again with their dumb lawsuits. That is all.
Well those profit margins need to go to funding something. They're apparently not going to improve QA or speed up "innovation".
The last time AAPL filed a major "look and feel" lawsuit it it lost big time.
Boy, you android fans are out in force today...what's the matter?
Nilay Patel formerly of Engadget tweeted that he's looking at the complaint and will have an editorial posted soon. He was a copyright Attorney so he should have an interesting viewpoint. There are definitly design similarities between the Galaxy S and the iPhone especially in hardware. In the end im sure this will be settled, maybe Samsung will give Apple a buy one get one free deal on A5 processors or half off NAND flash and it will mean very little to all of us other than an I told you so between fanboys.
finally, apple needed to do this last year when the phone came out.
Pathetic Apple!!!
Who the freak cares. Tell me if Steve Jobs has bought a new pair of jeans for iOS 5 preview?
I have used touchwiz and now own an iPhone 4. The touch wiz interface is extremely close to iOS. Heck even look at the picture above! Indead of a normal bubble type of "dock" that stock android uses, Touchwiz uses a iOS style bar with icons.
As a consumer who has played with both touchwiz and iOS, it was a copy. To the average joe who isn't very computer literate, they might even mistake it for an iphone.
Thank you for clarifying this. I owe my computer literacy to you now.
Apple put thought into this and then is shamelessly copied. Just like the Microsoft Windows rip off. They are trying to protect their interest and hopefully avoid another Windows situation. Remember they were nearly wiped out of existence. It would piss anyone off to invent something and then be driven out of business by copycats.
Why can't they come up with something unique? cause of the risk that's why. Look at Palm they made an Awesome OS but it was to little to late.
Still they should make something unique. Ever heard of Pogoplank? They should buy that look instead of copying Apple's look.
Wow, lotsa butthurt people today!
They are extremely similar. I've got a friend with this phone, and people call it his "iPhone" all the time. Just the fact that this occurs, and frequently, might be enough for Apple to stand on in this lawsuit.
They have a similar shape, with a metallic border. Software wise, the homescreens have a 4x4 icon layout. The icons are square-ish in shape. The text is white and underneath it. It has a default black background. The Phone icons are practically identical, for Pete's sake. They both use dots to indicate homescreens. They both have a dock with four icons. The dock is grey. They're both based on the premise of the icons all being uniformly square-ish. Seriously, there are enough commonalities, people. As soon as these phones came out, I saw one and was like, "Holy crap, that looks like an iPhone." No, it's not IDENTICAL, you freaking nitpickers, but the mood and experience is way too similar to the iPhone, and I personally can understand why Apple's a bit peeved.
If you disagree, more power to you. No need to be a sarcastic douche about it, though, guys — seriously.
Wait, I thought if I didn't have an iphone...I didn't have an iphone?! Apparently it should be If you don't have an iPhone, you have a Samsung Galaxy.
+1 Best comment of the day.
I'm surprised it took this long, the Galaxy S series feels like they took the iPhone's interface and slapped it over Android.
Clearly, yes I see it. I do see the physical Menu/back buttons on the iPhone, the sliding cover for the port connector. Here, ahh I unlocked the Galaxy S screen, but let me turn it into iPhone mode in the launcher screen instead of the homescreen with the widgets. Yes, there is the lovely iOS I know and love. Good for you!
Points to note for the fanbois:
. Patents do not need to be enforced to be retained - that's trademarks.
. Remember Apple 'stole' the name iphone from Cisco.
. You can't steal ideas.
. Very little of Apple's products are original - albeit are refined to almost perfection.
. Those that can't compete, litigate.
. Suing over rounded corners and the look of a box. Seriously?
. I'm sure Safari looks and feels the same and borrowed many concepts from IE, Firefox, etc etc.
. Apple did not create the smartphone or tablet markets but deserve credit for revolutionising them.
. There's got to be more than what's prima facie regarding this suit; e.g. Apple are trying to leverage a better deal out of Samsung for components.
. All Apple products are derivative of someone else's.
. I can't wait for The Onion to parody this suit.
A 2x iPhone/6x iPod/iPad/TV owning non-fanboi.
Apologies for the formatting.
I have 4 yobs, and they all involve making copycat iphones that are actually all android devices, that actually look like all other rectangular devices, and have home screens, and 1 button in the middle, I love my yob.
Let's see - a screen of touch sensitive icons that open programs and a Home button - say, isn't that a ripoff of the original PalmOS?
HP should sue.
I can't believe Apple got a patent for something as generic as rows of icons with rounded corners and a fix bar of icons at the bottom.
So tomorrow if Apple comes up with widgets or multiple homescreens on iOS, then should Google and Android handset manufacturers sue Apple for this? Seems just about as plausible as this lawsuit.
Wait, so does this mean Jobs can sue Dan Hesse for imitating his look as well??
Well I personally can't stand ios or touch wiz but given the fact that touch wiz does have widgets, live wall papers, and many other custom themes from which you can download in the market id say its completly different. Ios technically doesn't have a true app launcher, all it really is, is just rows and rows of icons where as touch wiz can rows and rows of widgets, and the launcher has icons.
Actually the rows of icons, which can be selected and moved is copied from RIM and if I am not mistaken, wasn't it jobs who said that great designers steal?
