Which 15/16 year old American Olympic champion do you love the most?
Sarah Hughes
Tara Lipinski
Which 15/16 year old American Olympic champion do you love the most?
Lipinski because she had the verve in spades and more frequently
Hughes looked very awkward to me, Lipinski had funky technique on her jumps but seemed to have better skating skills. Hughes spins were gorgeous, the best part of her skating and she had longer limbs but didn't know how to use them
I'll pick Sarah Hughes Dorothy Hamill's haircut, too
Lipinski by a lot. In spite of her flutz she had real star quality to me. Hughes on the other hand-no love lost there. I never cared for Sarah or her skating at all.
Tara by a mile, she had much better posture and no eyesores in her skating. Sarah had a nice layback but her flutz and flip entries were cringeworthy.
"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
Tara - notably superior skating skills and dynamism
Tara...and by a mile.
I think Lipinski is perceived as better or more likable for several reasons. She was small and cute rather than tall with a big nose. Also she tried to be so different from Kwan. Lastly she had first rate Bezic choreography and packaging rather than a disastrous hack like Robin Wagner.
I blame Robin Wagner for most of Hughes' ugly programs. Sarah was better than she gets credit for, because she did not have a naturally advantageous body type like Cohen or Lipinski. She did well in spite of this. Next to Michelle Kwan, whose skating is a delicate and intricate masterpiece (even her 2002 Scheherazade is 100 levels beyond everyone but Sasha artistically), Hughes often looked like a three dollar imitation-- with awful jumping technique to boot. The choreographic choices and the bad jumps, of course, can be traced back to the delusional Wagner.

I have to go with Tara. Her skating developed as a professional into something quite outstanding.
I did not care for Sarah's skating at all. I saw her as someone that could develop into something good in the future. That future never happened. She could not build a professional career after her OGM, and her year after that OGM was very disappointing.
Tara was exciting to watch, despite her small jumps, and she did develop artistically as a professional.
Oh and I voted for Tara by a wide margin. I couldn't stand Sarah's skating. Her artisty was forced, her jumps stunk and her choreography was a greatest hits of other skater's programs. I even hated the exaggerated bows she took after every program. Plus she was rude to more than one person I know and her podium behavior at 2000 Skate America was ridiculous, especially since she had no business feeling robbed. Now having heard Jenny Kirk talk about Sarah and Robin Wagner staring down other skaters in locker rooms, I think my hunch that she was a snot might be true.

The only thing I liked about Sarah was her spins and spiral. Aside from that I found her skating to be very awkward looking...even when she got older there was a juniorish quality about the way she presented her programs that irked me. Her technique was not good (mule-kicky, often cheated jumps) and her artistry was rather weak IMO.
Tara was tiny and she had technique issues too but she had good skating skills and, most importantly, she had spark and fire when she skated. I think Tara's programs weren't all that wonderful from an artistry standpoint but they fit her style very well.
I definitely have a zillion times more respect for Tara and I prefer her skating over Sarah's.
what a sophie's choice
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
I didn't even consider Sarah's looks. I don't think she's any prettier or less attractive than Tara. I just didn't care for her skating and her personality was just..not there or something. Looks or lack there of certainly didn't get in the way of say Scott Hamilton's success. His personality, his smile and his story pretty much made him a star in his sport as well as winning Olympic gold. Alexei Urmanov , on the other hand, and who imo is far better looking than Hamilton never really became much of a star in spite of good looks. I'm sure there are other examples.
I remember after winning Olympic gold one reporter mentioned Sarah's 'coltish' look on the ice. I think it was a nice way of saying that she looked gangly or awkward. I guess she doesn't appeal to a lot of 'real' skating fans but the Olympic audience probably didn't care one way or the other. I don't see her as more famous than Cohen. I just don't see the press making the same fuss about her had she returned to the 2010 Nationals as much as they did for Sasha as the returning Olympic silver medalist. Jmo.

I have been a lurker in the now defunct Lenco Lover's forum, currently lurking in the Lenco Heaven forum, followed parts 1 and 2 of the Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot thread at Audiogon along with keeping up on Jean Nantais?s work there. Despite having a pretty nice high mass belt drive turntable/arm/cartridge combination, I decided it was time to get on with this project to see if the modded Lenco lives up to the ?belt drive killer? hype.
If you are not familiar with the Swiss made Lenco turntable but wish to be, check out the wiki article.
Or; Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II.
Or; the Lenco Heaven forum.
Basically you have a four pole AC Swiss motor with a tapered spindle turning an idler drive wheel that spins the platter. Plenty of torque to get through whatever the groove throws at the stylus without slowing down. You can go from mild to wild on these builds as there are custom parts available, like Titanium idler wheels, platter bearings, folks offering build to order heavy plinths of layered/constrained layer materials and even the uber Slate material. There is a fellow in Amsterdam that waterjets out a thick flat top plate out of Stainless that decouples the motor that normally hangs from the stamped pan. Folks have mounted both inexpensive and pricey arms on the heavy plinth Lenco, even air bearing linear trackers.
I had purchased my Lenco L75 two or three years ago before even beater tables were fetching a high price. Mine had a junk tone arm but the mechanicals were good. It has the desirable 5 hole metal idler drive, the heavy platter (4kg or 9 pounds) and is the 110/60Hz version. Basically the idea is to get rid of the stock hollow plinth and build a heavy layered or constrained layer plinth. Some even use poured concrete or what some say is the best material, a thick slab of Slate.
I am staying with the stock parts for now, just clean and lube. The plinth wil be made up of six layers of Baltic Birch which will be glued and screwed together. You can leave the top pan complete or cut it up. With the pan full size, your choices of arms is restricted to the existing hole in the pan. By cutting most of the pan off, you can install any 9" - 12" arm made, providing the plinth is large enough. I like the minimal look of the cut top plate anyway. I retained the original on/off switch position as it also controls linkage that disengages the idler wheel when turned off. On the left is the speed control, 16 to 78.
Thinking down the road of possible resale, my plan is to make an arm board configuration that will fit the popular 9" arms. I planned to use my 12" Moerch DP6 currently mounted on my Nottingham Space 294. I may still try the Moerch, but it looks like I just committed to buy doctorcilantro's AdvanceDAnalog MG-1 Air Bearing Linear Tracking Tonearm. There are folks at Lenco Heaven that use this arm and love the results.
I have the layers cut out. I will temporarily assemble the layers with just screws to figure out the arm board design and make sure it all fits. Not sure of the finish, but I am considering seal and paint the plinth instead of a stained wood finish.


text: I just unboxed and hooked up my new BDP1 to my two channel system, and moved the first BDP1 into the HT system. Now I can enjoy music in either room. For the HT system I had to buy a BNC to RCA cable since Bryston only provides two digital outputs; an AES balanced, and a BNC. That is my one complaint I have with this player. RCA SPDIF is by far the most common connection, but it is not supported. To add insult to injury, the Bryston BDA1 DAC has two RCA inputs! But, what the heck, everything is working fine now. I just need to find some other use for my MIT digital cable.

Swodaems wrote:If we place units capable of surviving the treants' attack directly next to them, then we can block the Treants from moving allowing us to simply take the seige around them. Yuri and Rolf felt like the best choices given the situation.
They have to move into or through an adjacent square to be stopped. If a Gump is flanked on both sides, they will only be able to move a single square that turn. Even if they drop one of the two units, they cannot move after the attack, so yes, you could pin the Gumps down that way.
Swodaems wrote:MarbitChow, would this stunning result in him being unable to use his leadership next phase?
No. Stunned units cannot move or attack, but passive modifiers remain in effect. Stunning could be used to eliminate conditional Attack Modifiers and Abilities, however - if an ability normally requires that a unit be adjacent, or that the unit act in concert with other units, stunning that unit will negate the bonus the stunned unit would have granted.

Indonesia Encompassed (AEIE)
Indonesia is a busy place, and not just because it's one of the most densely-populated places on Earth. Blessed with rich jungles, imposing volcanoes and mile upon mile of gorgeous beachfront, it's not surprising that 135 million people live here full-time. On this 29-day trip, you'll get to experience what they live every day – Bandung, which feels more European than some cities in Europe; Yogyakarta's volcanic landscapes; Bali's pristine beaches; and far more than we can possibly get into here. Need more details? Come find 'em. Don't worry, we'll wait...
Highlights: Meet the orangutans in Sumatra, visit the tobacco plantations of Tetebatu in Lombok, snorkel vibrant reefs and dig your feet into white sand, explore Hindu temples in Bali and Buddhist sanctuaries in Java, climb volcanoes, learn where famous Sumatra coffee comes from, live with the locals in a traditional village
Indonesia Java, Bali & Lombok (AEJL)
Yeah, we've seen you perusing the Bali, Lombok and Java trips and thinking, "Why don't they just put all three of them together?" Here you go: All the natural splendour, bustling cities, remote villages and exotic wildlife of Indonesia's most popular territories in one convenient, 22-day bundle. Explore the volcanoes of Yogyakarta, endless rainforests, the rugged and untouched beauty of Lombok, bustling Jakarta and blissful Sanur's white-sand beaches. The adventure of a lifetime is out there. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.
Highlights: Visit the tobacco plantations of Tetebatu in Lombok, snorkel vibrant reefs and dig your feet into white sand, explore Hindu temples in Bali and Buddhist sanctuaries in Java, lay eyes on active volcanoes
Best of Java (AEJV)
With a population of 135 million crammed into just under 140,000 sq. kilometres, you'd think there'd be no room on Java left for adventuring. Densely populated as it is, this amazing swath of Indonesia has loads of unexplored corners just waiting for travellers looking for something a little different. From Jakarta, you'll venture to the curiously European-like city of Bandung (the "Paris of Java") en route to Yogyakarta, home to the island's monstrous volcanoes. Later, you'll spend two days in Dutch colonial Batu before winding up on the gorgeous Balinese beaches of Sanur. (Hey, if you can't beat the crowd, join it!)
Highlights: Explore vibrant Jakarta, take the train through terraced rice fields, visit a Buddhist sanctuary, meet the locals and learn the Javanese way of life

Last chance! Comment to win a FREE iPhone!
Leave great comments during the month of March and you're entered to win a free iPhone!
Like we announced at the beginning of the month, the iMore 2.0 app is here! That's right, in 2013, iMore re-revolutionized our app, and we're thrilled to finally get it into the App Store and onto your iPhones! And it wouldn't be Mobile Nations if we didn't celebrate with a contest. So... We're giving away an iPhone!
Here's how!
How to enter!
- Download the free iMore app from the App Store - iTunes link
- Leave a comment on this post (or the original post, either is fine!) telling us you want to enter
- Start leaving high quality comments on all the other articles that interest you
How we'll choose the winner!
- We'll randomly pick an entrant from the comments on this post or the original post).
- We'll check their iMore profile to see how often and how well they commented this month.
- If they're awesome, with tons of high quality comments, they'll win a free iPhone (technically a $500 App Store gift certificate).
Why Step 3? It removes spammers, trolls, litterbugs, and people who simply post "FIRST! ZOMG I WANNA WIN" on every article from the mix, clearing the skies for awesome community members like you!
Contest ends March 31, 2013 at 11:59pm PT, and our usual rules apply.
So start commenting!!
That's it, that's all! Get the new iMore app, comment often, and comment well, and you're entered to win a FREE iPhone!
There are 593 comments. Add yours.
Just learned about iMore a few days ago and I already love this website and community of iPeople!!! ^_^

Just learned about this contest. I've followed iMore (TIPB) forever. I look forward to the shows, there's always something useful.
Thank you guys for the many amazing opportunities you give us. (I am just recently coming back to the iPhone community from android... Again...) :)
Would love to get a new iphone for my son who is such a good kid given that he has to deal with a medical disease that requires him to be homeschooled compounded by a life-threatening allergies to all dairy.
Been an android user for about 2years now. Would like to switch to IOS this time. Android's becoming boring already..
Yes please!! Been loving this blog since I got my first iPhone - a 4 - when it first came out and I still have it now, could do with an upgrade . :)
I would love to win an iPhone!
Man this site is uhmayzing!

Imore is the best site....i love to win an iphone5 hoping..
I will take one please, Free over here!
Awesome awesome awesome site. I need this in my life right now with all that is going on! Let iMore be my new playground of knowledge.
I discovered your website from listening to Rush Limbaugh one afternoon, checked your site out, and really love it. A few days later, I learned the terminal command that allowed me to rid my new retina MBP of the annoying delayed wake from sleep deal.
I look forward to advanced and drilled down tips and solutions from iMore in the future.
Keep up the good work!
I am going to comment for the free iPhone givaway. Thank you.
I need a new Iphone but my Wife has initiated a sequester on my debit card
I'm in it to win it baby! ! ! I'm holding a 3GS and am in need of a serious upgrade! ! !
Thank you for free iPhone!
I used to work at Best Buy, and sold countless iPhone 5's.. all the while burning in jealousy because I didn't have one. I would love to push the little green monster down :-)
I would love to win. I could use a new iPhone
I have just joined your community and look forward to participating. iMore has replaced another site as my new home page and go to source for news and views! Thanks for hosting a fun contest. Being invited to enter is a real treat, I only wish I had known earlier in the month so I could comment more. Enjoy your Monday and thanks again!
Love the app and ready for a new iphone.
This is my comment amongst all my other comments
Just kidding. Seriously, I'm entering, but to be honest, I don't have the time to post a lot. I do read the site (and peruse the comments section), but with my full time job I usually don't have the chance to write up nice comments/opinions.
I did not win the $300+ million in Powerball this weekend. So I guess I'll have to settle for entering this contest. ;)
Would love to win an iPhone 5 which would go right to me wife as her first smart phone ever. If I don't win, I am buying her one at upgrade time in June, but it sure would be nice to win one and put that saved money towards a Mophie for her and some other awesome accessories that she will want to purchase from the iMore store!!!!!!
I've been saving money for months to get my FIRST iphone so it would be awesome to get one for free and use that money to buy a macbook air.
Love the iMore app btw.very practical.
: )
would love to win a new iphone been watching this site and all mobile nations for yrs been trying and iphone 4s but finding the screen a little small @ 3.5" would love a 4" iphone 5 thx
My wife sure would love you guys if I win this. Shes on an iPhone 4 thats seen much better days and she desperately needs a new iPhone. Either way, thanks so much for the site and the opportunities to win new stuff all the time.
Happy pass over Iphoners !
Would truly enjoy what is not possible otherwise. Thanks for the offer.
Roses are red violets are blue iMore is awesome and a new iPhone would be too!!
Count me in. Thanks.
I really want the iPhone 5 come on iMore help me out that way I can read and post on 4g LTE it's fast
Sure, an updated iPhone would be lovely.
New to iOS! Would love a new iPhone!
I've been an iMore (TiPb) fan for years!! Love the podcast, love Zen and Tech, I love it all!!!
I Need to replace my iPhone 4! It's aging
iMore never seise to amaze me! I really hope I get the chance this time, would make the perfect gift.
Love the new app. Would really like a new iPhone.
Free iPhone Please! My wife would love it!
Keep up the luck of winning everyone ! If I won, my bro sure needs iPhone so badly ( He hates his old phone )
I'll take any chance I can get for a free iPhone.
I'd like to enter the contest
I will be happy for anyone who wins an iPhone in this contest because its not just any phone. Its iPhone. It is the best ever gift a person can win at present or even in the future!
IMore the best site ever. This iPhone is going to be mine. Thanks iMore keep it up!
I am interested in this contest... Thank you for such an awesome page!
Since it likely won't be me, let me just say Congratulations to whoever wins. No doubt the 5 is an amazing device, wife is eligible for an upgrade in May, I know she is looking at the 5 as one of her devices, though have no idea which way she will end up going in her phone decision. I just pay for the phone, let her choose her own device, unless she wins one.
I'm in. Not a spammer here. Don't comment much but imore is my top news source for Apple and we are a 3 iPhone, 2 ipad minis, MacBook Air house.
Please pick me. I've wanted an iPhone for soooo long. Thanks
Wow, a chance to win an iPhone 5!
I don't think I ever posted on the original thread letting y'all know that I wanted to enter... So, HECK YEAH! Count me in...! ;)
This would be great, my girlfriend needs a new iPhone so she doesn't go to the other side and get the new galaxy.
I sure hope members from Europe are eligible too... =) Count me in!
Would be nice to win. Count me in.
Just some feedback. Not sure if the rest of you encountered this. I'm new here. I downloaded the iMore app. Couldn't find a way to register using the app so I came back to my desktop to register. No problem there aside from the antiquated use of unique usernames. But then I came back to the app and couldn't log in. Apparently, after registering you need to go back to imore.com and click the sign in link since the registration process is actually for mobile nations. This is not very intuitive in my opinion.
Also, when comments are many, the app is quite slow to load them. Plus, the checkbox for receiving notifications to my replies is absent in the app.
Throwing my name into the mix. Would love a new iPhone.
I'll need this for an iPhone 5S!
Glad to have Rene on MBW now... Adds a little flavor to the mix. Great website too
I want a free iPhone!!
Just got an iPhone 5 for my wife and now I'm obsessed with getting one for myself!!! Love the phone and he imore app!
Please include me
I didn't know there was an app until now... downloading it today!
In to win
Super cool! I love contests! Enter me FTW!
I always come here to get news about apple mobile products, always up-to-date and always a lot of information. Having contest like this is just totally amazing, no other site gives us a chance to get a iphone for free… anyway thx and continue the good work.
I hope its me!
Yesss a free iPhone that would be sweet indeed
Hey guys - really love the UI of the iMore iOS app.
Count me in. Thanks for publishing great content, iMore!
I love PIZZA
i could know its feature if i got one......
iWant a new iPhone 5 to upgrade my iPhone 4S... my Dad wants an iPhone and the 4S would be great to give to him if I win!!!
Oh, yes please! I love free stuff! Plus I have an iPhone Four...
I should have register months and months ago ... damn it... I leave the app and/or the site open and come back to it many times a day + l the great posts, blogs info, shows etc ... Macbreak, and all that's Twiit Iphone/Pad related (that I usuallly follow through pod cast) but Its hard to keep up with every single bit. Regardless of the contest thanks for all the Iknowledge you share with all of us. But if you can ... gear me up with a 5! (since I have a 4s I was waiting for whatever other Iphone comes out next but I wouldn't spit on an Iphone5!)
I would love one please!
Could use one to replace my 4!
And here's to another chance at winning an awesome gift from the folks over at iMore! :-)
Would love to win a iPhone! Nobody ever pays me in gum!
I'd love an iPhone 5 ;) that or a 4S, wouldn't bother me since im not picky!
Hello, I am commenting...over
Would be really awesome to win
if it's free, it's for MEEEE !!!
Pick me :)
Free iPhone!
I would love to win an iPhone! Thanks for all of these great giveaways! Great website!
I Wish To Win This iPhone , So I Can Develop Apps For iPhone :D
i would love to get a new iPhone in black color!
Meesa JarJar Binks tinks me gunna win dat iPhone!
Great contest. I check for the latest news a few times on iMore.
I love the new app it's very easy to catch up on my apple news
Still not quite at 400 people, so the odds are still wonderful. Even just the opportunity to win an iPhone 5 is amazing! Without even owning an iPhone 5, months ago, I began acquiring accessories for my 'future' iPhone 5. I kickstarted the AL13 Premium UltraThin Aerospace Aluminum Bumper and I ordered a GelsSkin 'motherboard' for even more protection. All I need is the iPhone 5! My discounted upgrade through AT&T is still months away so this would be the icing on the cake.
I guess it's time to start commenting more. I'm in!
I've been following this site for awhile now reading all the news on the new iPad that should be launched soon. Saw the contest so I figured I'd enter. Thanks imore!
Awesome contest. Glad to see that the ZOMG FIRST!!!!1111 people won't clog up the walls.
This blog was recommended to me. I am very interested to see what it has to offer. And yes, winning a new iphone would be lovely!
I would love the new iPhone!! I am a huge Apple fan and love all Apple products. The iPhone is the most stylish and technically advanced cell phone around.
Great app and great website! So glad that i stumbled upon it!
I'd like to win
Great app, excellent site. Hope I win!
I would love to have a new I-phone. I just downloaded the new app and am looking forward to keeping up to date.
Cool site. I heard about it on the Rush Limbaugh show. Of course I want to win an iPhone!
I would like a pal to go along with my iPad. Thanks
Awesome app ;D
iMore is the only iPhone subject dedicated app that I have downloaded on my iPhone. The tutorials/how-to sections are really a boon to those of us who want to get the most out of our iOS experience. Thank You for all that you do!
I would love to have a new cell phone!
Thanks for all the fish!
Such an awesome app!! Would love to win the new iPhone.. hahaha
Meeee! I alwaysdreaming about getting an Iphone I never had one. Because It is too expensive. Please pick mee! :((
Cinco por favor!!
Sign me up! I wanna play too!
Awesome I would love to win
I'd love an iphone 5....! :)
I like the new app. Really like the ability to pause a podcast in your app. In the other app it was all or nothing. Sometimes your podcast takes a long time to get into iTunes so I check here an sure enough a couple of new ones, now I can listen and pause yay!
Yes.. Great site.. Great app.. Put me in!! Thanx
I hope my anti-Limbaugh comments are considered quality!
i phone very useful for life long so it is the best in the world
The winner can use the new iPhone on the Uncarrier.
This is amazing - I love all the colours you provide to an otherwise black or white line of products (putting the more into iMore!)
Here goes nothing...
I think I need to start commenting more. :) I've got iMore open all day reading. It's an invaluable source so I hope to contribute more. :)
i want in!!!! thanx
Sounds like a lovely contest. I am tech support for my wife, who already rocks the iPad and iPhone, but since I have nothing to d/l the app to, I guess I can't enter, although on her behalf I surf the comments, articles and help on here quite a bit.
Mighta made a convert!
Excellent site! Very informative!
New iphone, BOOM!
Enter me
I'll win this time...
BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Android, say no and pick iPhone :)
OMG, let it be me for ones
Thanks a lot for the amazing give away! I've never used an apple product though, I still love em! :)
I am always adding great comments because iMore(TIPB) is awesome and you can clearly only leave great comments. Send me that iPhone.
It was the best of time, it was the worst of times...and what I mean by that is, my wife once had an iPhone that she was at peace with but she bought into the Android hype and now she is at war...with her phone! Please help me restore the PEACE! This paltry novel has gone on waaaay to long!
I would for a new iPhone. Please let me know 'when' I win!!!
I want one.
I would suggest doing more featurettes like idownlodblog and cultofmac. Things like jailbreak tweaks or news, opinions, etc. I've been going there more and more and less and less to imore.
Just downloaded the iMore app. It's nicely designed. And it shows the timestamp in my timezone which is great. Thanks iMore!
Greetings from Serbia!
Apple products are so rare in our country, rarer than UFO. You can change it for the better, send it over.
Man, ... I really need an iPhone ... REALLY!! I promise to look after him. :-)
Excellent site, ... all the best!
Try the app section @iMore...I always find something interesting there. Great reviews.
I would love to win.... please please please . I've been trying to win an iPhone or iPad for the longest
As an Android user looking for greener pastures I would love to give the iPhone 5 a try as I am currently torn between that and a Z10, both phones look pretty nice, but I am leaning (slightly) to the Z10 as it appears to be a better platform for getting things done. A free iPhone would obviously swing the balance in favour of an iDevice...
Still loving iMore ,more than the the other sites like this.
Apple Insider , Cult of Mac don't have a chance
I'll keep on posting hoping to win the Iphone 5
love to have the newest device
Still entering to win the best Iphone made so for from the best Iphone site on the net.
Love reading all the iMore articles
iMore team is the best
I don't see anywhere that says you can't enter as much as you'd like,
when I could win an Iphone 5 or just even any contest I'm up for trying
get to read all the great content of the iMore site what a great combo
Was having trouble posting to iMore but not no more so making up for lost
I- ngenious
M- ore
o- utrageous
r- eadable
E- nterainingly
I hope I win, it would be fantastic!
The suspense is killing me! Who's gonna win???? But on a light note, I've actually learned a bunch of things about my iPhone 4s over these past 2+ week! iMore has defiantly made my top 10 bookmarked sites.
Man i would love this
please de do ....please pick me for iphone 5...want v.badly
dude free iPhone! SWEEEETTT SHIBBBYYY
I would love to win. Omg I love u imore u guys seriously rock ;)
I'd sure be happy if I won this iPhone. :D
I'd like to win an iPhone 5 32GB, in white. But a 16GB one would be sufficient too, as I don't have a lot of apps, music, or other stuff. Right now I have no smartphone at all since my Android phone got destroyed at work a couple of weeks ago (long, bizarre story there), and I'm currently reduced to using an old Samsung flip phone as my backup. So I could really use a new device. I'm on T-Mobile USA, so on the off-chance that I should win, all I ask is that it be a GSM iPhone so I could use it on T-Mo.
And thank you, iMore, for this site and all the Apple-related news and technical info you provide (I've been reading it since it was called "The iPhone Blog").
i want to enter!
hope iMore app at App Store campaign!:)
really a good site for i phones specially android wow man i like it very muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i phone 5 man its the phone whole world wants and this contest take the hearts of millionsssssssss
iMore is one of the best places to get in depth info on your Apple devices. Truly a great reference and website. Thanks iMore!!!!
I would also like to enter said contest!
I would love to win a shiny new iPhone. Thanks for being awesome. Love the podcast and the site.
Love the new iPhone. Have tried the evil empire (android) but always find myself loving iOS so much more
I love the new iPhone. I've tried other devices with another operating system but nothing compares to ios
hope to win luck by chance
Still reading iMore on an iPhone 4! Help me out iMore.
Check out iMore's "How To" section. Great step by step tutorials that even I can follow!!
I'd love to win!
This is a great contest ,and I will be able to be like part of my own family, since everyone in it has an iPhone.
iMore great articles everyday, the time is drawing near for the iPhone 5 give away
I would love to WIN an new iPhone from you guys. Please please let me win!!!!!!!!
Would love a new iPhone. Don't comment often, but hopefully insightful when I do.
Ok. I'm getting ready to make the switch back to iPhone from android. I miss the platform and hate the android fragmentation. I need a new iPhone!
I just learned about this site. Sign me up for the contest.
I was introduced to iMore and the Mobile Nations family through TWIT. Since that point I have become a regular reader and love the site. I want to win the iPhone, but above that, keep producing amazing content.
I want the iphone 5 :D
I have the imore app follow everything news you put guys love it love all the informations you guys put especially the contest who might win the prize, hopefully i get the chance to win but what are the odds lol.
Since moving off of BlackBerry after 6 long years I don't regret the move one bit to an iPhone. The quality and app selection will meet anyone's fancy, but honestly without iMore I will admit (much like CrackBerry was for me) I would be a tad lost on the numerous news coverage. It's great to have a central news hub to go to consistently and the iMore app helps to close that gap.
Winning isn't everything. It's the difference between achieving what you strive for and watching someone else achieve it instead. :-)
Good morning fellow contestants and good morning iMore! Will the iPhone 5 contest reach 500 people??? Stick around and find out people!
So need a new iPhone my wifi stoped working and its out of warranty!!!!!!!!!!!
iNeed to win this iMore than everyone else!!
One proposal for the new iPhone: It needs to be "radically new," of course, and as such should have a new name. I think that 5 nice, round number, and it must stop!
WOO HOO.... I'll take an iPhone!!!
Oh yes, I forgot. I recommend "humanoid" for the name of the new iPhone. A synonym for the word android but better! /:-)
OMG, pick me please!!!!!!
Just kidding, I read rule #3. I don't post often, still fairly new to iPhone but I love it. I think my son should have one and that's why I'm entering.
I would love me an iPhone 5, and a side order of poutine please Rene!
also love the new iMore app.
I have always been an Android and Blackberry lover but never an iphone winner. Would love to have this phone because i never had an iphone before. Hope i could win this phone. It would help me a lot.
Please enter me in the contest for the new iPhone.
it's the thousand times for joining this kind of contest for me -_-
hope i can win it
i'll give many comments, just wait them :D
I'd like a chance to win an Iphone. Sometimes it can be difficult to get access to a wifi connection with an iPod Touch in order to stay informed with the Imore app.
Wow! You guys rock it hardcore with these giveaways! I would love to enter this. (Better late than never) Big fan of the site and all the editors. iMore has become THE go to site for me on everything Apple. Always love to hear the podcasts and hear your insights into apps, reviews, news, rumors, how-tos, and all the other techie related material. Keep up the great work!
Wow! iMore, you guys & gals rock it hardcore! I would love to enter this contest (better late than never). I follow all your stuff from podcasts, to news, reviews, how-tos. iMore IMHO is THE site to go to for anything Apple. There are a lot of well rounded respected sites out there that are done very well. But there is just something about the way you guys bring it to the table that draws me in. Kudos to you all and best wishes on many more years!!
I want to switch! Please pick me!!!
The 'Reviews' section on iMore can really provide unbiased reviews of products, apps, and those accessories you dying to get. Check it out!
Iphone's much better than Samsung, EVER!
I'm not sure that this competition is open worldwide, but I will not miss the chance to win such a device.
Thank you!
Can't lie, I stumbled this site on stumble. Saw the iPhone contest and was like "heck yeah!". And in coming back everyday to check stuff out comment here and there, I have really learned a lot about my i-devices. Both my iPad and iPhone 4s and now running at optimal efficiency. iMore has even made it into my top 10 bookmarks. (number 5, actually) Keep up the funfacts, great articles and killer contests!
Also, I really thought that more people would be commenting for this contest.
Been reading the site for years, finally downloaded the app and would like to enter
I would like to win!
iPhone is what Sony walkman was the 80's. After him, nothing will ever be the same!!!
Good luck everyone, bu i hope i win :)
I saved this article on my reading list and almost couldn't find it. So glad that I was able to make it just in time. Thanks for the chance to win!
Imore helps me to keep updated from the news and apps. Not to mention podcasts and the accessory reviews you know, thanks Imore :) this is like a mobile worldwide newspaper about APPLE :p

iOS 5.1 beta removes access to system settings shortcuts from your home screen
iOS 5.1 beta was released earlier this week and it appears to block access to system settings shortcuts that you may have added to your home screen. Systems settings have been making quite a stir recently when it was discovered that you could access individual settings using a URL type web address. The web address could then be saved as a favorite with a fancy icon on your home screen. This would then give you one touch access to Bluetooth settings, Wi-Fi settings and much more.
One developer even put the various settings options together in one place, created a beautiful icon set and wrapped each up as an easily installable system profile. Now, for whatever reason, Apple has blocked access to system settings via this URL method in the iOS 5.1 beta.
This is a very disappointing move for many as Apple has continually ignored how difficult it is to access settings like Bluetooth without having to navigate multiple settings pages just to get to the one toggle you need. Hopefully Apple has a simple solution up its sleeve which it intends to release when iOS 5.1 makes its public release.

There are 55 comments. Add yours.
That's disappointing. It's not an exploit, and it makes things easier for users. Why remove it?
This is one of those things that probably has some explanation for security, but we're not going to be told exactly. My assumption is a security patch overrides it. I doubt they've targeted it for removal.
Unfortunately, I guess we're gonna have to wait for WWDC and for Forstall to announce toggles in Notification Center as 'Blow Away!", first. /:
Commonly used settings like wifi, bluetooth, etc should be accessible via the notifications swipe down.
Thanks Apple, I'll have that refund for Project Icon I installed this week,
You paid? That's why it's always a bad idea to donate for these types of things. They're fleeting moments of iOS history. The only sure way to get what you paid for is to buy from the App Store. It's a good and bad thing.
It was purchased from the App store.
Thats what annoys me Apple will gladly sell you an app today knowing that they are blocking it's use in a couple of weeks
I doubt the people approving apps are the same that are writing the new software.
Plus, I don't think they're actively blocking it. I think it's been broken with a new security protocol.
What does this mean for SBSettings?
guessss i'm not gonna upgrade to 5.1!
Unless there are toggles in the NC then I won't be upgrading
Hmmm - think Apple will come up with a control panel of some sort, pressure is on from JB'ers :)
It was my last with apple. I can't carry more this style. They work us.
Every time I enable Bluetooth on my iPad, I'm reminded of the menu rathole that was Symbian.
You know here is a thought for Apple, you gave us swipe down for notification center, how about give us swipe up for quick access to toggles for wifi, bluetooth etc. Make it a page that is configurable in the settings app as to what is located on it for easy turn on/off.
That sounds like sbsettings to me (except the activation method), but if apple releases it, it will be revolutionary and new.
There is new stuff to ios 5.1 and your only talking about this wtf?? Who cares it takes just as long for the app to open up than me to go to my settings it's no help to me.
Crossed fingers!
I love my iphone 4s. I miss the ability to tweek and adjust it had in my Palm Pre+. A lot. Apple works beautifully if you do things how Apple wants you to. And is a pain if you want to do something differently.
I can honestly say that SBSettings is the only reason I want to jailbreak anymore. If they did something intuitive, such as adding these toggles to the Spotlight screen (then fade them away when you search for something) I could honestly say I would (more than likely) never need to jailbreak again. C'mon Apple!
He didn't say IN the Notification center (like the last one you said the exact same thing to) - hes said a swipe UP. That's different.
Besides, why would you put it in the task switcher? That's for task switching.
Leave everything on, keep your phone charged.
Problem solved (rolls eyes).
Calm down everyone, you'll get your settings shortcuts! Apple is just going to disable the function in 5.1. Then when they release iOS 6, they are going to take credit for re-inventing the wheel and innovating a game-changing feature: The ability to easily toggle settings!
I remember when they announced "cut and paste." You would have thought they invented it by the reaction of the fanboyz in the room. Same with multi-task switching.
Having toggles in Notification Center is much more intuitive.
There's a brilliant jailbreak solution for just that, but I'm waiting for a tethered jailbreak.
As for the multitasking tray, that should be activated by a swipe up from the bottom. It would certainly prevent Home buttons from becoming 'flaky' after a few months of use.
I would love a swipe up for the multitasking tray. Just went into the Genius bar this weekend to address my barely-functional home button. Their response: "Yeah, the home buttons wear out and there is nothing we can do for you since your phone is just over a year old. But you can buy a new phone!" I'm sorry, but if I buy a $700 piece of equipment, I expect the one (primary) button on the thing to work for more than a year.
When that happened to me I used activator (Jailbroken) and used volume up and down as a replacement home button. Works like a charm...
It's not stupid. It would be a widget, just like Weather and Stock are now
Doing whatever they want hasn't seemed to hurt Apple a bit...no matter what we (consumers) think. We will continue to purchase every new toy they produce, regardless of little things like this.
Basically IntelliscreenX is how Apple should be doing it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwx9PUX_tz8&sns=em
This is very disappointing and is likely to keep me from updating to 5.1 unless they add in some sort of settings toggles in the app switcher or notifications center...
Get a free $10 iTunes gift card!!! Download "app trailer" from the app store and enter "promogiftcard" in the bonus code and receive a promotional $10 iTunes gift card!!!
I finally understand the "Insanely Great" slogan. Apple makes the greatest products out there, but then does things like this to drive us insane!
So glad I have the old bootrom 3GS: Untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak :-)
What's more important is that Tipb is about 24 hours late with all this news. I read about this and all the other stories for today on another tech news app. Can't they be original just once...?
Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. Navigating through the "Settings" menu on the iPhone is no big deal. I don't have a problem with it.
Good, I'm glad you don't.
But a lot of people do.
I'm one of them. Navigating through the menus is a pain and unnecessary.
Turning off notifications now is impossible to do on a global scale, as you need to toggle EACH one off. But that's another issue.
I often like to turn off wifi and/or Bluetooth. I want to adjust my brightness, to do so I have to enter settings and go through how many menus? Heaven forbid I want to turn off wifi, turn on Bluetooth and turn up my brightness.
Think about it from that perspective and you may see things differently.
Amen to the other posters above me. Navigating through menus is insanely unnecessary and causes loss of data for apps that don't support multitasking so you have the fun of starting all over. There is simply no reason for Apple to make using those features as tedious as they do. High on my list of long-standing disappointments and a main reason to JB for SBSettings. Add apps like IntelliScreenX, CallBar and a few others and you have a highly customized phone. You don't know what you are missing until you've fully explored JBing.
that's stupid. notification center is for notifications.
And Weather. And Stocks.
Well, weather and stock information is notifying you...
Why do they insist on making Bluetooth access so difficult? It drives folks to jailbreak and maybe even to switch to Android. Why not just implement the silly quick fix?
Do you have to be jailbroken to do this with system settings? Running iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S.
I'd say 6.0 would be more likely...
Same reason people pay Geek Squad to install stuff for them???
My guess on the notification bar not having toggles in it is it would be too android-like. This is one of the big things I miss from Android. The whole pulldown bar is a rip-off anyway but like others have said "it's revolutionary because apple did it". I love my 4s for the most part and don't regret the switch but there are a few things I miss.
i use hotspot and bluetooth and sound profile on a regular basis and thought the system setttings shortcut was one of best apps (which should have been part of ios anyway) and its really sad that apple blocks it :-(. i would be really nice to touch -enable the feature at the top status bar for network connections and sound profile
It was nice while it lasted but in the end it was just a gimmick.
It does the same thing you can do yourself by tapping
Settings, Brightness.
I guess the real thing to remember here is, IT'S A BETA! There is no way to know if these changes are going to be permanent, or if it was even a mistake. Apple obviously isn't going to officially support anything that makes using our phones easier so what's the outrage? This is like getting pissed that the Enchirito was cancelled. It was only a matter of time, it was an expected move and we'll just find another way around. Why is this even a story?
I plan on removing those icons anyway because if what I read it true, Siri should be able to control those functions.
Off-topic, where can I get that "postal wallpaper" pictured above?
So I'm guessing you're looking to make a little cash in your spare time right? I'm a single mom of two amazing toddlers and using http://make4800permonth.info has blessed me with about $2458 a month for the last year. Try it, it takes me only 15 minutes a day!

Dangerous Corporate Lawsuit Could Result in Chilling Effect on State Legislatures
Tim Judson on July 12, 2012 - 1:54pm
A federal court case arising out of Vermont could have dramatic implications for state sovereignty and the ability of legislatures to regulate corporate activities within their borders. Nine states and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) are standing in support of the State of Vermont in the U.S. Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit. Vermont is appealing a controversial lower court ruling that, if upheld, would overturn decades of case law defining how courts determine legislatures' "intent" and whether their actions are preempted by federal authority. Should Vermont lose, NCSL predicts a chilling effect in legislatures across the country and a move toward limiting public debate and open government.
At issue in the case — Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee et al v. Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin et al (Entergy v. Vermont) — are laws Vermont enacted in 2005 and 2006 regulating operations at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant (Acts 74 and 160). Under federal law and Supreme Court precedent, the authority to regulate "nuclear safety" is reserved to the federal government, though states retain the authority to regulate other activities and impacts of nuclear power plants. For instance, over a dozen states (including California, Kentucky, and Minnesota) have long since enacted bans on the construction of new nuclear power plants over concerns about the economic consequences to the state of highly radioactive waste that must be stored at reactor sites indefinitely, since the federal government has failed to develop a viable solution for the waste.
This division line between state and federal authority itself is not the central question in the case — rather, the issue is how the court decides whether a state law has crossed the dividing line between state and federal authority. The courts have a long-established practice of looking at two primary criteria for deciding whether a state law is preempted:
- Whether the law has the practical impact of infringing on powers reserved to the federal government.
- Whether the language of the state's law expressly strays into such territory.
What individual legislators or expert witnesses say about the legislation in testimony or debate has long been considered immaterial by the courts, given that the language of the law itself is what the legislature as a whole has endorsed. This long-established doctrine has protected legislatures from frivolous or malicious lawsuits attacking their decisions and preserved the legislative branch's vital role in a democracy as a forum for wide-ranging, unfettered public debate.
Whether Vermont's laws complied with these standards is not even the subject of dispute. Instead, the plaintiff, Entergy, based its case on alleging that lawmakers essentially conspired to speak "in code" when writing Acts 74 and 160, with the intent of skirting preemption to regulate nuclear safety by couching the laws in non-preempted terms. The company excerpted statements made by individual legislators and expert witnesses over the course of five years of legislative debate, arguing that the legislature's "true intent" was different from that expressed in the laws themselves. Entergy also argued that the state, by rejecting a contract offer by Entergy to sell electricity to the state's utility customers at a higher rate than the state was willing to accept, violated the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
In January, the district court ruled in favor of Entergy and blocked Vermont from enforcing its laws, and the state appealed in March. Should Vermont lose the case, this new precedent would leave legislatures open to the possibility of retaliatory litigation by corporations seeking to defeat state laws and regulations. At the very least, the ruling could undermine legislators from fully examining issues they are called upon to address, as NCSL argued in its brief supporting Vermont:
Left uncorrected, this type of misguided judicial inquiry will inevitably chill state legislatures' willingness to debate policy issues robustly and to solicit a variety of viewpoints about proposed legislation openly.
In fact, NCSL points out that the court's rationale alarmingly grants "individual legislators a remarkable (and extra-constitutional) power over the legislature as a whole," by using "the words of a few to ascribe to the Vermont Legislature, as a matter of law, an intent that the legislature as a body did not desire or adopt, and one that is contradicted by the statements of purpose that the legislature did formally adopt."
In a brief submitted by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, nine states are also supporting Vermont's appeal: Connecticut, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, and Utah. In addition to arguing against the court's grounds for determining legislative intent, they argue that the case could have significant financial implications for states: "States must be alert to the significant costs associated with decommissioning a nuclear power facility," a major economic consideration for states when such jobs can easily cost over $1 billion for a single nuclear reactor.
The prospect of states losing the authority to protect their residents from billions in environmental liabilities is concerning, but the undermining of legislative authority and open government is an even greater concern. The Second Circuit Court is expected to hear the case later this year, and to render a decision as soon as spring 2013. On the issue of whether the nuclear plant shuts down, the state Public Service Board is now reviewing the case and is also expected to rule in early 2013.

Well, everyone's opinion is subjective so I don't think it is necessary to convince others
I think the lack of some jumps is glaring among these skaters

I have always thought both Mao and YuNa were extremely talented and interesting to watch (for some reason I never took to Carolina's skating all that much. But for me Mao's 4CC's program made me excited and inspired for the first time in years. Her program while not perfect was just magical. It was the first time since Michelle left the scene and COP was ushered in that I have watched a performance of anyone more then once. I could watch the ending to her program over and over. For me she reached that magical formula of musicality, dance, technique, passion and beauty that I have missed so much over the last 6 years. I honestly thought I would never see a performance that would inspire me to watch repeatedly ever again - she just reached a level where the whole equaled more than the sum of its parts and that is when I get captivated. While YuNa has had some remarkable skates - I've never felt that from her, although I know others have.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is tired of Wilson's choreography. I think his choreography can be just as generic as Lori's. Wish Hanyu can go back to the choreographer for his Romeo and Juliet LP. I would have liked to see Yuna work more with Tom Dickson. Danse Macabre was more popular but Tango Roxanne is the better program. I have never been a fan of Kostner but I have developed a sense of new found respect for her since last season because of the interesting choreography. She really seems to spend a lot of time on her choreography and interpretation of the music. I love both of her programs this season and I think she has the best interpretation of the ladies now.
For me, the best female skater in the past few years in terms of musicality, dance, interpretation, passion, commitment to the choreography, and pure movement has been Akiko Suzuki...no question. IMO, no other female skater compares to her in that respect.
Yuna KIM & Mao ASADA - 2010 Olympics FS
yuna kim - Meditation from 'Thais'
when I saw this exhibition, I felt music flows from the her edge.
yuna kim - danse macabre
it was superb... one of the best programs I can remember in a long time.

Personally, I don't see anything special in Yuna's Danse Macabre at all. When I first heard she was going to skate to that music I was so excited as it seemed an absolutely perfect chice for her, but when I actually saw the program it was such a letdown. Not Yuna's fault, she did quite a good job selling it, but the choreography was very disappointing to me.
I still think Tango de Roxane and Lark Asceding were Yuna's best programs and nothing has come even close since.
As far as artistry is concerned, I completely agree with oleada. Yuna's interpretation usually leaves me cold as it often feels too choreographed and superficial. At 2007 Worlds SP though, I thought she was fantastic!
Interestingly, when I saw her Tango again in a show recently I thought it was not nearly as impressive performance-wise as it was 5 years ago. Maybe it's difficult to compare a show and a big competition like Worlds, especially since she probably didn't get to practice the program much before that show, but then one could expect she would be more free and expressive and able to bring that program to a new level with the maturity and experience she has now. Unfortunately, I didn't see it.
Anyway, I think she is a better skater overall now and even her lines got much better since, so she obviously must have been working on that, even if there is still a lot left to be desired in that department.
I would say the overriding difference (as far as scoring is concerned) is that Yuna has both a correct lutz and flip, she does them with great consistency and big GOE, and tacks a 3toe at the end of them with ease. And because her 3-3 is not 3toe-3toe, she can also add on a valuable 2A-3t in the LP , which she also does with great consistency and +GOE. This is such a HUGE scoring advantage for her, it cannot be overstated.
As has been mentioned, she doesn't have the full complement of jumps (loop is mostly awol), often makes a mistake or two, but with all these high quality 3Zs and 3Fs , and a 3-3 and a 2A-3T in the repetoire, she ends up pretty much ahead of Carolina (low base value on jumps in recent years) and Mao (low base value and/or underrotations and low GOE).
That said, I do think we got some fantastic musicality out of Mao and Carolina in recent years when the were focusing on overall program quality, sometimes at the expense of jump content. Mao's footwork this year looks tailor made for Swan Lake, Carolina's for Bolero. Yuna's looks like the same generic 'Wilson /Yuna" that could have been placed in any of her programs over the last decade. Still, Yuna's footwork is complex, fast, covers the ice and she invests her whole body into her footwork, it's just not as muscially special as the other two's. I think Carolina has the best skating skills, and Mao has the best stretch and body positions, and both invest more into distinct artistry than Yuna (what we've seen of the programs this year). These are great qualities , but they don't lead to huge scoring advantages in COP, the way Yuna's jumps do.
in 06~07, i think mao's sp was better than yuna. I think it's Mao's best program
06 ~ 07 sp, nocturn
I think yuna's best program is danse macabre.
08~09 sp, danse macabre
IMO, Mao was ahead until 06~08, yuna was better in 08~10
Anyways I have been very surprised to learn recently that Yuna is not
that well received as I thought. Her jumps are great, yes, but what made me draw into her was mesmerizing expressions and body movement in her programs. Look at the way she sells the bond girl program. The girl can do anything. And she did say after Vancouver that she wanted to improve her artistic ability to a new level which many, including myself, saw in Arirang program.
Is it that Wilson made so generic, boring programs for her? Her tango program afterall was a retouch by him--tango in her junior season is totally different from what we saw in 2007-- Lark Ascending was also his work. Given the close relationship between them, one would think that he is giving works of his best abilities to her.
Is it that Yuna is such a reserved skater that it's so difficult to be invested in her performances in general? Are judges rewarding her with high PCS--actually Yuna has been getting the highest PCS in any competition she entered since 2007-- just for the mere fact that she is landing big jumps very well?
Is it that Yuna doesn't seem to push herself enough? Or is the expectation bar too high? Is she that much artistically not talented compared to Mao and Carolina? Granted, this season these two seem to do so well with more interesting and beautiful programs than any others', probably the best ones they've had in their entire career. But I don't think Yuna's programs this season deserve that much criticisms in comparison.

With higher than normal traffic counts this holiday, and Connecticut State Police enforcing motor vehicle laws in full force, troopers issued hundreds of violations over the past few days.
Of the 364 accidents reported between midnight on Dec. 23 and 10 p.m. on Dec. 26 — for a campaign state police called Operation SANTA — three crashes were fatal. A total of four people were killed in those crashes, police said.
Other stats include:
- 29 DUI arrests
- 451 speeding tickets
- 17 seatbelt violations
