But Caputo criticized White for a proposed rule that backs off across-the-board increases in safety fines in favor the industry's proposal to only raise penalties for more serious violations.
"I don't believe that was the intent of that legislation, and I was involved in it from the beginning, and it's my belief that all fines were to be increased," Caputo said.
Two freshmen House members who are coal miners -- Republicans Josh Nelson, of Boone County, and Randy Smith, of Preston County -- objected to language from last year's legislation increasing from 90 days to 120 days the length of time apprentice miners must work within sight and sound of a supervisor.
"You're really a baby-sitting service for 90 days, because you have to have someone with them all that time," said Smith, a foreman for Mettiki Coal. "Going to 120 days, we're really hampering our actual training of these individuals."
White responded that state regulators recommended the change in state law to increase "sight and sound" requirements following a January 2011 fatality at a Wyoming County mine.
Nineteen-year-old John C. Lester Jr. was a "red hat" apprentice miner who was killed when mine management allowed him to work underground for nearly three hours at Baylor Mining Inc.'s Jim's Branch 3A Mine, state and federal reports said. Lester was found dead in a coal chute, near the dumping point of a conveyor belt. He had apparently fallen into the belt, and was carried to the dumping point area along with a load of coal.
"Management was unable to positively state how Mr. Lester entered the mine on the morning of January 27, 2011," a state report said. "Furthermore, no one gave Mr. Lester instructions or directions that day or informed him under whose supervision he would be. Almost three hours went by on that day without the immediate supervisor on the section, or the mine foreman, checking on the location and safety of this apprentice miner, and only did so upon the request of Jerry Lane."

Adorable Dogs (and a Cute Cat) in Designer Rooms
Sure, the interiors are inspiring and the decor, drop-dead gorgeous. But in these room designs, it's the cute pets that really steal the spotlight.
Dogs on Danish Modern Furniture
These Poul Kjaerholm PK31 chairs, purchased in Stockholm by Cool Hunting editors Josh Rubin and Evan Orensten, are the preferred beds of Otis and Logan, their Sealyham terriers.
A Breezy Living Room and Blue
Soft, hazy colors and natural textures give this Shelter Island, New York, living room a breezy elegance. Homeowners Harriet Maxwell Macdonald and Andrew Corrie sanded the oak floors, leaving them unfinished, and sanded and whitewashed the pine-plank walls and botanical tiles. The couple's English whippet, Blue, rests on a Snooze sofa from their New York store, Ochre. The blue painting is by a friend, Leora Armstrong.
Pooch on Cozy, Chintz Chair
Designer Mimi McMakin's real life pooch prefers a cozy chintz chair rather than the floor, where a carved-wood cat presides over the living room.
Perera's Pup
Designer Kishani Perera shares a spot on her bed and a cup with her puppy.
Kitchen Ball Break
In the renovated ranch kitchen of Pine Cone Hills Annie Selke, one of her hounds takes a break from playing ball.
A Cozy Spot
Polo the golden retriever naps in the warm-colored TV room of a California home by designer Christina Rottman.
China the Cat with Ming Fabric
China the cat sits on a painted chair covered in Ming fabric from Manuel Canovas. Mirrors bring in the light in a garage-turned-dining room behind Sally Swing's home in Berkeley.
Yorkshire Terrier and Folk Art Friends
A Yorkshire terrier waits for dinner along with folk art sculptures in this home's entryway.
A Friendly Dog at the Front Door
A friendly pup waits at the front door of this Tuscan-style, Santa Barbara home, with interiors by designer Joe Nye.
Choppy in the Entryway
Designer Markham Roberts's miniature poodle, Choppy, claims his favorite spot in the New York house, a settee covered in Carleton V's Tamarack Stripe in Espresso. Glazed walls give the entry warmth and a glow, and the bold chevron carpet adds a casual touch. The antique Chinese lanterns and bamboo chairs are from James Sansum.
Dog Bed
Designer Thomas O'Brien shares his bed with two sleepy dogs.
Lounging in the Library
Conceived as a snug, masculine lounge, the small library at Richard Norris and Mark Leslie's old Southern home has a sink-in comfort. Agnes, a pointer mix from the pound, claims her place between the Landau Devan Sofa by McAlpine Home for Lee Industries and an antique ottoman.

A native of Hammond, Indiana, Bob received a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology & Oceanography from the University of Michigan in December of 1969.
He received AMS TV Seal of Approval # 90 in 1971 and, after passing a comprehensive exam on theoretical & operational meteorology in June of 2009, was awarded the new AMS CERTIFIED BROADCAST METEOROLOGIST Seal. Bob is the only Chief Meteorologist in New Orleans to display the AMS CBM. He has also been twice honored by the National Hurricane Conference, was named AMS Broadcaster of the Year in 2008, received numerous AP & New Orleans Press Club Best Weathercast awards and is the New Orleans Press Club Lifetime Achievement Honoree for 2013.
After a stint in the Marine Corps Reserve and the Air Force Reserves, Bob's first television opportunity began in 1971 at WTVT Television Channel 13 in Tampa, Florida where he trained under Tampa Weather legend Roy Leep.
He moved to WDTN-TV2 in Dayton, Ohio as Chief Meteorologist in 1973 where he stayed for 5 years. In 1978 Bob returned to the South as Chief Meteorologist for WVUE-TV.
Some of the memorable hurricanes Bob has covered are Frederic in 1979, Juan in 1985, Andrew in 1992, Georges in 1998, Tropical Storm Isidore and Hurricane Lilli in 2002, Ivan in 2004 ,Katrina and Rita in 2005, Gustav in 2008 & Isaac in 2012.
Unfortunately, the great flood that followed Katrina destroyed all of Bob's television records including his first audition tape from WXYZ-TV in Detroit in 1968.
Bob has 3 grown sons with his late wife Paula and is currently married to Brenda Bell-Breck a native of Monroe, LA. He enjoys fishing, golfing and traveling in his spare time and is active in raising awareness about early prostate cancer detection.

A nutritional powerhouse, kale is a great source of vitamins A and C, calcium, and cancer-fighting phytonutrients. It has
a mild cabbagey taste but none of the bitterness of other winter greens.
Season: Year-round; peaks in winter.
How to Choose Kale
Look for dark green, frilly leaves that have a little spring to them. Avoid those that are yellowing, dry, or wilted, a sign of age. -
How to Store Kale
Keep kale unwashed (moisture speeds decay) in a plastic bag in the coldest section of the refrigerator, usually at the back. Because kale contains a lot of water, it doesn't last long. Use it within 3 days of purchase for the tastiest results. Kale that has been sitting around can develop a strong bitter flavor.
How to Prepare Kale
If the center stalks are thicker than a pencil, remove and discard them before cooking. -
How to Use Kale
Kale is delicious sautéed, in soups, or prepared any way you'd cook spinach.Real Simple Kale Recipes:

What a incredible film. Like La Strada, not happy, but something that stays forever. The unhappy beginning and end are like brackets. But the movie is about a lot else, with many touching moments in unexpected places. And the little details -- notice how she says her correct name, Maria to the charity-person.

Brand New Holiday 12 Beanies!
Winter presents fundamental problems to looking your best. All the time spent getting your hair looking it's best is essentially negated by having to wear a hat all the time to keep your dome piece an appropriate temperature. If you wear a hat your head is a good temperature, but as soon as you take it off everyone sees your fucked up, smushed down hair. Catch-22 unless you decide to rock a baldie and look like a low-rent Jordan/Amber Rose impersonator. What's to do?
Well, we got you covered with our new selection of beanies. They'll definitely keep your head warm, that's not an issue, but they also look hard as hell. Wearing a hat with the Cycotiks logo on it, people'll know that you appreciate sports and insanity, wear that D.E.A.T.H or Neighborhood Sniper ones, and the streets will be very aware you are the type of person that could go off at moments notice. With these hats, taking off your hat and having your hair looking crazy will seem less like a fuckup and more like the cool choice of a person that's just disaffected.

Ethics are far more important than economics in preventing bank crises, according to a report published today by Berlin-based corruption watchdog Transparency International.
The study, Transparency and its Impact on Financial Fragility, used data from bank crises around the world over the past 30 years and correlated the probability of a crisis with 10 variables. The five economic variables - inflation, credit ratio, real interest rate, credit growth rate and GDP growth rate - were found to have little effect on the likelihood of a crisis: an extra point of GDP growth reduced the chance of a crisis by between 12% and 26%, but none of the others made a difference of more than 11% per point of increase.By contrast, the five ethical variables - corruption, favouritism, judicial independence, prevalence of insider trading and effective regulation - all had dramatic effects. Transparency International measures ethical qualities on a seven-point scale, and a single point of increase on any of the five dramatically reduces the chance of a bank crisis - up to 89%, in the case of judicial independence.
The study's author, Saadia Zahidi, a researcher at the Institute of International Studies in Geneva, said: "While crises may erupt in a relatively short period of time, they are usually the result of long-term fundamental problems in a country's financial institutions."
She added that the results would boost calls for global financial standards, such as those produced by the Bank for International Settlements, and better transparency on a national level.

As other reviewers have mentioned, it's an excellent book, since the author had the privilege to work in some of the top software companies that we aspire to.
But if you're hoping to crack one of those interviews as the author would like you to, by reading her book, you'll be disappointed. No book containing just questions (150 in this case) can cover the vastness of the software field.
So, my advice would be to first study the topics of algorithms, programming etc. from good books. If you study them thoroughly and practise, you will not need this book.
Was it ever your dream to be in one of the top-notch companies India (the likes of Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe etc) & you thought the interview rounds were too hard. Well, the rounds are hard (believe me) only because facing those questions on the spot makes your brain go drifting somewhere else (happened to me..).
But if you already had a taste of whats going to come, you are prepared, you are confident & you will give it your best shot.
With a systematic approach even tough goals can be achieved, this book will help you in that systematic approach(from A to Z). Before this book I used to collect all the questions & categorize them in different sections from easy to hard - phew!! it was a painful job - If that work has already been done by someone(very decently), why not use it & build it on top of that!
My highest recommendations!!
I have gone through many interview prep books and frankly speaking, there isn't any better alternative out there. Some are loosely organized, some are bland and some are too C -centric. These days, most coders like me are usually comfortable with Java and C# concepts and with the liberty in interviews to code in any language, this insider's account of interviews and how to prepare for it is apt and meaty. I also think that you should not stick to any particular timeline for buying this book. 1 week or 1 year before you face the big day does not matter at all. This book will shape the way you think out algorithms and handle concepts like bit manipulation and scalability. Once you are through with the problems given here, you can just take out a pen and pad and tackle any problem in the huge database of questions available on the author's site.
I got the 5th edition in 3 days, thanks to Flipkart.
It is worth to have the book on personal library. It helps to prepare behavioral and technical aspects. There are few typos, yet the material flow is readable.
Follows Java as base language to implement code. C/C geeks will be able to follow the logic, if not syntax. They can easily write code in C/C by following Java code.
Do not rush to read solutions, if you rush, it is of no use. Try to solve each question in different ways, think of variants of similar problem. Then compare your solution with the one provided at the end of text. In fact, about 3/5 part of book devoted to solutions.
Treat the book as work book and spend quality amount of time, you will gain from the book.
Gayle Book (cracking the coding interview)is really help me a lot...not only in improving my concepts but also HOW TO APPROACH A PARTICULAR PROBLEM in different scenerios whether optimizing TIME O(nlogN) or optimizing space(O(1)) . Also her Site CarrierCup provides a GOOd Discussion Forum Where one can Post or Share Good question and The good thing about it is that students from Different Countries JOIned and Heavily Participated.GAyle book (cracking the coding interview) contains many different aspects of computational science in which most interesting part I like is Scalibility and Memory limits. and at Last i recommed to all viewers that If u want to save time on making concepts (NOt only just to solve the problems But how TO CRACK THE PROBLEM WITHIN A SEC)...this book will definitely GONNA HElp you...............

If you ask the team at Tri-California Events what a triathlon is all about, you might hear about swimming, biking and running, but what you'll hear the most about is how fun they are. As each racing season emerges, the team gets to work running fun races from the mud-filled M.O.R.E. Wildflower Obstacle Course in the spring to Scott Tinley's Triathlon in fall, replete with on-road and off-road options. One of their most popular events is the Wildflower Triathlon, now one of the largest triathlons in the world. During this packed event many athletes camp out for the weekend to ensure a memorable experience and to make sm'roes as race fuel. Tri-California's team also runs the San Francisco triathlon at Alcatraz, which includes a swim portion that sends participants partway to famed Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.

Before he returned to the NFL as offensive coordinator with the Chiefs in 2008 and later took over as the Buffalo Bills head coach in 2010, Chan Gailey spent six years as the head coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Gailey might have a few flashbacks to those college coaching days this week, as he prepares the Bills to play a Saturday game against a Denver offense that's integrated the option to its attack.
In a conference call Tuesday, Gailey was asked to recall if he ever thought the option could work at the professional level when he coached in college.
"I thought this: I thought the first team that had guts enough to try it, it was going to work for about two years, and then defensive coaches in the NFL would catch up to it a little bit. Then it would be a struggle," Gailey said.
By mixing in the option with more traditional run schemes, the Broncos have excelled on the ground this year. Denver leads the league in rushing with just over 163 rushing yards per game. Last week the Broncos ran for 252 yards against New England, 93 of which came from quarterback Tim Tebow, who also ran for two scores.
Gailey said Tebow "creates a big problem defenses" with his ability to make plays in the passing game and with his legs outside the pocket.
But the Buffalo head coach's overall assessment of Tebow boiled down to his win/loss record.
"The last time I judged quarterbacks—which has been every day of my life it seems like—you judge by winning football games, and that's what he does," Gailey said of Tebow, who is 7-2 as a starter this season. "He wins football games. It's probably not in the fashion that everyone in the NFL is used to, but he's leading his team to victory. That's an important factor for playing the quarterback position."
Bills Looking to End Skid
While the Broncos started the season 1-4, the Bills entered Week 6 riding high with at 4-1 record.
Both teams have gone in opposite directions since. At 8-5, Denver currently leads the AFC West division and the 5-9 Bills have lost seven straight.
"Everything that was going right early in the season has been going wrong as of late," Gailey said.
Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has struggled, throwing 12 interceptions during the losing the streak. Fitzpatrick said it's "fair to say" he's been pressing as of late as the team has fallen out of playoff contention after a promising start.
"We really haven't played well. Personally, I haven't played well," Fitzpatrick said in a conference call. "And we're just working through it right now."
"We're not in the position we wanted to be in, but we're in a position where we get to play the game of football and go out there and have fun and compete. That's what we're going to try to do."

Tom Cruise wants to meet Katie Holmes in an attempt to save his marriage.
The 'Rock of Ages' star is set to face his spouse in court next week for the beginning of their divorce proceedings next week, but he wants to talk things over with Katie in a bid to stop the details of their relationship being made public.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''Tom either doesn't get it or doesn't believe that his marriage is ending. He feels there is still time for Katie and him to sit down and sort out a compromise.
''He knows that they are days away from a huge public court clash and stopping that or at least making it as amicable as possible are his goals. He feels he can still communicate with Katie and wants to sit down with her one on one.
''The lawyers are working away, but Tom reckons he is the best one to communicate with his wife. He reckons he can delay the hearing or come to an interim agreement.''
Tom, 50, has reportedly instructed his lawyers to not make any public statements until he has spoken with Katie, 33.
He was said to be ''blindsided'' when she filed for divorce after five years of marriage late last month in New York, and lawyers for both parties are said to be in talks to settle issues including child custody, visitation and child support for their six-year-old daughter Suri and property division.
Katie is claimed to have filed for divorce because she is worried about Tom's devotion to sci-fi cult Scientology and the effect the quasi-religious sect may have on Suri as she grows up.

text: I enjoyed this book very much. I was a young girl during World War II. I did not know about the camps until I was well into my adult life. At the same time I was reading this book, I was reading "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" that was assigned by my local reading group. This book also was about the internment camps. I was sorry that Lane did not make it home to meet his daughter, but that is part of life. I felt the author did a great job developing the characters and building the story.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - Hundreds of people have stepped up to help a homeless veteran who's been living in his van along with his 7-year-old dog after losing his home to foreclosure.
The Marietta Daily Journal reports 65-year-old John Chambers lost his house in January 2013 and has lived in a Walmart parking lot since then. Chambers says he was evicted without warning, lost his job after his employer learned he was homeless and has had trouble finding alternative housing through the Veterans Administration.
The newspaper published a story explaining Chambers' situation earlier this week and since then, hundreds of people have offered money, temporary shelter and food for his dog, Scout.
A metro Atlanta real estate agent and her attorney have also formed a nonprofit group to try saving Chambers' home.

Somewhere, someone is kicking themselves for being nice to a little old lady.
She thanked the anonymous person who let her cut in line and by an EASY PICK ticket ahead of him. Ouch. That had to sting a little.
An 84-year-old Florida woman just stepped forward for second-biggest U.S. lottery jackpot Wednesday and will pocket a $370 million lump sum before taxes, state lottery officials announced.
Gloria Mackenzie bought the winning ticket in Powerball drawing at a grocery store in Zephyrhills, near Tampa.
Mackenzie did not attend a news conference and pleaded for privacy in a statement O'Connell read to reporters.
The amount of the prize ballooned to $590 million as the drawing approached, with Florida lottery officials selling about $45,000 worth of tickets an hour at the peak.
Mackenzie turned down the 30-year payout and took the smaller one-time amount, O'Connell said.

According to the latest excerpt from Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Steve Jobs, HTC's introduction of what Apple considered iPhone-live made Jobs "livid" and were equated with "grand theft".
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
Jobs reportedly told then Google CEO and former Apple board member, Eric Schmidt:
"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want."
The issue is still unresolved and Apple has filed high profile patent infringement suits against a variety of Android ODM's, including HTC, Motorola, and Samsung.
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson is available for pre-order now, and it wouldn't surprise me if we got more fiery - and marketable -- excerpts as the release draws near.
Source: AP
Steve Jobs was an inventor a creator and he changed lives. I admire his Passion !
And what exactly did he invent or create?
iOS 5 took ideas off of android
False... Android took ideas from iOS jail breaker... iOS 5 hired iOS jail breakers
That notification drop down has been in android for years...
He was trying to give them a taste of their own medicine, beside nofifications and widgets have existed on windows laptops FOR YEARS. If anything android stole that idea from them.
In tech world is there really "anything new under the Sun?" Here again is this foolish battle about two platforms. You don't have anything better to do. These companies make money and are laughing all the way to the bank and you fight over who stole what.
We need innovation. We also need to improve on existing ideas. We need both. What we don't need is wholesale theft and no compensation. That is just not good. Google did not invent mail, maps, or many things. They try to do it in a way that maximize their bottom line: drive search revenue.
There really isn't anything new here. The battle used to be and still is between Apple and Microsoft. Now it is iPhone and Android. Where was the Android before the first iPhone?
After all imitation is the best form of flattery...... until said person makes money off that poor imitation.
I'm sorry but he's a hypocrite
How would you know? Al we see is what's on the surface....the guy was an apple board member!!
How about that drop-down notification menu in iOS5? Didn't apple invent that and android stole it from them and used it since like 2009??
And no wonder apple doesnt have widgets. They were stolen by google! :-)
here's your proof :)...
Truly disappointed at TIPB for posting AP story before the book is public, and adding a link to the book for sale. Please dont turn into one of THOSE sites.
A little over the top.....Apple also stole Palm patents. For the consumer, it's great. Android/Apple competition ensures that consumers will get the latest ideas and best device experience......
Seems bit sad and psychotic and also seems he failed to destroy Android....oh yh hypocritical aswel as if apple has never taken other peoples idea...oh well typical.
Maybe android copied LG I mean they did have a touch screen phone before the iPhone or maybe the Samsung f700 umm oh nope apple was the 1st phone to be all touch right lol
Oh Steve Jobs, you're so adorable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU
So he should! Android is basically a cheap Chinese fake iPhone! I'd be livid too! Imagine if you had all these genius ideas and they kept getting ripped off and sold for $100 which would have lessened the sales of iPhones too
Android is a DISGRACE
And they need to be stopped
Anyone who owns an android should be hereby hated (they always have been by me anyway) and deemed supporters of counterfeiting. Thats basically ALL android is! I don't think they have EVER had an idea of theif own. It's steal, steal, steal - make a cheaper crappy clone - sell, sell, sell.
How do you like the new android notification or wp7 swipe to photos from the camera or the bbm rip off lol or were the all original...its people like you that give apple fans a bad name....
How can you compare the borrowing of a few features here & there...as compared to the utter theft of an ENTIRE PLATFORM?
There is a difference between copying 1 or 2 plays versus ripping off an entire playbook.
Your an idiot. All companies steal including apple. So please keep your dumb fanboy idealism to yourself
Taddi, you do realize iPhones are made in China too? Sure they may be designed by an American company, but most of the components in them were designed and made in China or Japan, and the phones manufactured in China.
"Anyone who owns an android should be hereby hated"
Wow, should Andoid users hate iPhone users as well? Perhaps we should have a religious war over it?
You like iPhones. I like iPhones. I just prefer my SGS2. I find it somewhat disturbing to think that means I deserve your hatred.
Come on. Its a phone. We can discuss our preferenes 'til we're blue in the face. We can discuss who borrowed what UI element from who if you like. But hatred? I think there's already too much of that in the world alreay without our tech preferences being factored into the equation.
Hate people because they use a certain kind of phone... I guess haters gonna hate.
Feel free to steal this idea: That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.
You said it! Lets take Android users in the streets & summarily execute them! No more screwing around here! Time to take a stand & cleanse the world of this evil! God hates Android! He is punishing you for your sins of allowing Android to exist! Kill Android! Kill sinners! God hates both!
It seems westboro baptist church membership is on the rise in the forums.
well if thats the case.. apple should be stopped from stealing ideas and incorporating things into their ios that have been created by developers for jail broken iphones that apple for some reason never saw fit to use until they realized that people actually do want and love to use..such as the so called new drop down menu. hmm as i recall that was an app developed for cydia a few years ago.. pretty sure it was being used before android came along as well.. (for all the haters crying foul)..but anyways..im an iphone user..former bb and android user..and every once in a while i will switch back and forth just for some diversity..but if your going to cry foul on android.. lets be real..ALL tech companies have stolen from each other.. ALL OF THEM...so let people like what they like.. use what they want..
oy I own an android device I love it and I get made fun off but u don't judge someone by a phone or tablet u judge by the person. plus I'm 13 own a android and yet am more mature rthan u adults to respect people for what they are
It shouldn't really matter anyway. People with class buy iPhones.. And cheapskate nerds will by androids. Those cheap nerds wouldn't have bought an iPhone anyway. So let the losers have their cheap knockoff android cake and eat it too!
wow, what an educated comment. I'm very impressed by your knowledge and culture. God, I hope you say more
You do realize the top-tier Android phones cost as much as an iPhone, right? And for that matter the 3GS, now free with contract, costs less than many feature phones.
YoU do understand that the top-tier android phones are not the ones that are giving the platform it's market share, right? It's the bottom tiers ones.
That's simply not true, according to latest platform data (http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/screens.html) 72% of all android devices has hdpi/normal screen (that is WVGA or FWVGA screen which are all highend devices - there were maybe two lowend phones with such screen), 2.6% are tablets and 3.0% are small tablets (dell streak, galaxy note which are hardly lowend). So less than 25% of devices can be considered low end.
Android phones are priced around the same as the iPhone. Speaking of knockoff Samsung has the patents for dual antenna.. Android was the first to use drop down notifications.. Android is far from junk just watch the drop test iphone vs Samsung..
As a 'cheapskate nerd', I have both (one provided by work). And I prefer my SGS2. But hey, what do I know, I clearly don't have 'class', I've just used both and made an informed decision...
Android is junk .....
Plain & simple ....
End of the day everyone copies eachother I mean just look ICS and IOS5 but apple cries foul when someone copies them yet nothing wrong when they copy...I don't think you can get anymore hypocritical
Original Android was a rip off of Blackberry and then for whatever reason they chose to copy apple. I honestly don't really care because either way everything is copied in a way. Look at headphones, how many companies have identical looking headphones??? Too small compared to phones?? What about TVs, stereo systems. Go to best buy and look at some of this stuff its REDICULOUS. Bottom line is regardless of what it looks like you are going to buy what you feel fits your needs best.
Actually if you look at the OS then you will see it is still based on Blackberry and Symbian. Android has an app drawer in addition to its home screen that it keeps all the apps in Blackberry has this also iOS is only an app drawer. What you need to realize is Google saw the changing consumer demand and shifted their product to be competitive in the new market.
Do you think they should have left it as a blackberry-Symbian like OS and just been lost in the shuffle. They adapted the product to make it more competitive they did not copy.
My only statement to this...
Lets take away the cross licensing and see how many "borrowed" ideas are in there...
Lets put out the iPhone with ONLY Apple created tech.
Moral of the story: Everyone steals. It just seems Android did a successful job of it. Palm and Microsoft didn't, so Apple ignored/is ignoring them.
God rest your soul Jobs and you're forever an exceptional business man.
But a man of morals you were not. Quit it.
"Good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." - Steve Jobs
"Good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." - Steve Jobs
...and so was Google. They just haven't shown the the ability to follow through like Apple has: steal a great idea, then continue to make it BETTER. Jobs/Apple are MASTERS at taking something great and making it MIND BLOWING.
The quote from Steve above says it all. He shamelessly stole from Xerox. I'm willing to wager it was him personally who authorized the Photoshopping of the pics used in the EU court cases. But the world will never know. He was an Einstein after all & his legacy must be protected (note the sarcasm).
Oh & tipb needs to quit using that pic showing Androids app drawer & comparing it to iPhones HOME screen. Try & be honest like you claim Android should be.
Heck, he stole money from Woz [his partner]!
"In the book you also recount how, when you developed Breakout for the Atari, Steve Jobs sold it and told you that he received $700 for the two of you to split while, in fact, he had been paid a few thousand dollars."http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=1903
"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want."
Like pull down notifications? Direct ripoff of Android.
Like swipe to move between applications? Direct ripoff of webOS.
You're dead, Steve. Shut the fuck up already.
btw, how long does tipb keep Steve's face up there? It's starting to creep me out a little.
"You're dead, Steve. Shut the fuck up already."
How much more disrespectful could you be? He made these comments long before he died and no matter what you feel about Apple, he was one of the greatest innovators of our time and had more knowledge in the tip of one of his pinky fingers than I'm sure you have in that entire brain of yours or even mine for that matter... he was a GENIUS! I'm not trying to jump into the Android vs Apple debate, but seriously dude, your comment made you sound like a total 110% certified a$$hole and if you are not already, you should be embarrassed for even posting something like that!
I think what Jobs meant here was that they stole the MAIN ideas and concepts of the iPhone: such as the icon layout of the home screen and how the apps launch and move around. When the iPhone came out, it was the first phone to have a launch screen that looked like that, and to me, if anyone uses the same type of launch screen, it is copying. You can see it everywhere, the messages app, the phone app, all look the same on all smartphones. And what about the App Store!!! Nobody can say that all other smart phone companies such as BlackBerry and Windows Phone are not copying Apples original App Store.
Didn't Motorola invent the cellular phone? Is that not Apple copying someone else's idea?
Very, very little is original these days, including all the features of iOS 5. Whoever executes an idea best should get the kudos, and Apple generally does.
The icon layout was not an iPhone original [http://www.liveside.net/wp-content/images/archive/2007/02/pc_capture6.jpg]. Neither was a dedicated row of "favorite" apps [http://www9.pcmag.com/media/images/164759-windows-mobile-6.jpg?thumb=y].
The main thing is the "launch screen" isn't the same on Android. You have a "desktop" on Android where icons, folders, widgets, bookmarks, contacts, etc can go...not just icons.
The App Store isn't even original. lol. Ovi has been out for yearsssss and don't forget GetJar.
Apple innovated for sure but not everything in the iPhone is original. It mostly builds off old concepts.
Wow. So if he vowed to destroy Adroid, why has Apple become complacant in their competition with Android? Why not lead the way and destroy them instead of sitting back on old ideas and letting them pass iOS by? I love iPhonr but it feels so much is starting to come little, late, abd following Android or it's hardware makers.
I was hesitant to comment because of sensitivity and respectfulness for Steve Jobs passing, and also because of all the comments already posted that are sadly so unkind to others who's posted. I understand the zeal to make emotionally provocative statements because of our own passions, sentiments, and strongly held opinions...and I've crossed the line too, I'm sure. Who knows, I may yet in this post, depending on your viewpoint.
At first I was bothered just a little bit that this article was posted in such close proximity to Steve Jobs' passing, because the content is so...harsh...and ultimately, possibly depending on your viewpoint, I think it reflects poorly on Mr. Jobs. But it does shed light on some of the less comprehendable lawsuits Apple has filed to keep certain competitors products out of consumers' hands rather than receive royalties.
When I look at the picture above, which is intended to illustrate Android copying iPhone, I recognize that grid of icons and remember that iPhone copied Palm. In my opinion, Apple didn't so much create with the iPhone as brilliantly build upon already existing ideas (of others), refine them, elevate them, improve their implementation, and deliver them in a highly polished and elegant user experience that is more than the sum of its parts -- that was their innovation, and it is truly remarkable.
The legal stuff is what it is, but it seems it's become such a mess and not in the consumer interest, where competition fuels innovation and creates opportunity. Nonetheless the legal issues (patents and such) have to be dealt with and should be. It does, however, sadden me that someone who has had such a remarkable impact on the technology landscape, who was such a great leader with so many wonderful qualities and achievements, would so passionately want to simply destroy a thriving competing platform that so many consumers are choosing.
Some of the patent issues at play seem ridiculous to someone like me who just wants all my favorite features, functionalities, capabilities, and best ways of doing things all on one device, better yet every device!...you know, just the best of everything. ;-) But, then again, if I created something valuable, I certainly wouldn't want someone to be able to just steal it and start using it to compete with me either...so it's important to try to relate to that point of view and admit that it would rile us up too.
Yes, of course there's hypocrisy in it as well, but Mr. Jobs can have been an admirable man and great technology innovator without being perfect. I'm thankful for his impact that has made the tech that I use everyday better, whether it has an partially eaten apple on it or not. I want all of the players to innovate, improve on each others ideas, and deliver maximum value to the consumer. My hope is that they will challenge each other, not destroy each other, so that the competition can thrive and innovation happens at the hands of many.
It is most peculiar that Jobs did not see the hypocrisy of stealing from Palm, as you pointed out.
Another huge leap in GUI was the mouse interface, stolen from Xerox PARC. Steve did not acknowledge that stolen IP either.
While Steve had several weaknesses such as these, he was still one of the most innovative and inspiring tech managers of all time.
This illustrates how successful strong leaders came be - if their weaknesses don't take them down.
I really miss him.
The Newton had absolutely atrocious touch capability. It was also copying Windows tablets of the time. Imagine that...
Didnt apple base their "innovation" on existing products? Windows, PC, mobile phones, mp3 player? Those are all same devices with dumb-down interface, cleaned design and insane restrictions.
It seems like Jobs realized where it was going with android, and he was scared. Rlly scared for the upcoming competition
Picasso had a saying: Good artists copy, great artists steal. Tech companies have done this since the beginning, and Steve, Bill et. al are all guilty of it. If you criticize one, you have to criticize all.
This is all so silly. Here's what I want.
I want iOS to copy all the good stuff from Android and make them better. I want Android to copy all the good stuff from iOS and make them better. I wand both companies (and any others who care to join the mix) to completely copy each other's ideas and improvements and make them all better...and keep doing so year after year.
In the end, I, the customer, get better and better products. I really don't give a hoot about who did what first.
I agree it is about the customer experience, All iphones should have all the great things us android users have enjoyed for awhile. Like the pull down notification bar, google voice (siri) maybe next you can have widgets and Flash.
if Apple never came up with the iPhone all you will have are what we used to all have. Give credit to great execution even if you will not call it innovation. They did a masterful job at making a leap for our benefit.
Simply sitting by and waiting for the next person or idea to copy is not going away. But that does not make it good for anyone. At the very least contribute something substantial. All Google wants is to drive traffic towards their adds.
you all fight on and give them your money, i the consumer reward execution and the evolution and maturation of great ideas. I don't reward simple copying of other ideas, i just don't.
The iPhone is an improvement on previous smartphones. It's a damn good improvement but it's still based on pre-existing ideas taken to a higher level. My post was not about simply copying. It was about improving upon existing ideas. The iPhone is not the original smartphone and it likely won't be the last. Apple did exactly what I want all these companies to do. Take an idea and make it better. Push the envelope.
From his perspective where he watched all his ideas and hard work come to fruition in a product that took off the way it did, its very understanding that he would be infuriated to see what Android stole from his platform:
Intuitive finger based Touch Interface, Inertial Scrolling, multi-touch gesture interface, a REAL virtual keyboard with self correcting algorithms, first real mobile web browser (Webkit), quality of apps to take mobile computing to the next level, the complete omission of other input methods (trackball, optical pad, stylus, excess buttons, hard keyboard. etc.) which moved touch computing forward faster, etc. We have become so accustomed to these things on cell phones we dont even recognize them as innovations anymore and what impact they had. These were ALL profound leaps that were implemented into Android as soon as Google got word of the iphone...before it was a Blackberry/Treo copy. Honestly go look at prototype Android n read the comments. Anyone remember zoom buttons or menu>zoom>menu>zoom>menu>...WTF! Glad to be out of that. A notification drawer that pulls down is a touch based input that allowed for that to work, which goes back to who REALLY made touch input possible.
http://gizmodo.com/334909/google-android-prototype-in-the-wildhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FJHYqE0RDg (thank the iphone)
You realize they didn't even touch or multitouch, right? Oh and the virtual keyboard was on my Windows Mobile 5 and 6 phones.
I get where Apple has changed the game and give them a ton of credit but let's get real here. If Apple were getting married, they absolutely couldn't wear their beloved white; maybe a medium gray would be more suitable.
How cute. You went & found an article to try & defend his own theft, that he admitted in Triumph of the Nerds on PBS. Go watch that & get back to me. My statement has not been refuted. Nor can it be.
Now try another personal attack on me while you are too afraid to be yourself & hide behind some fake little avatar & made up name. Who's the one being childish here?
They ALL ripped off Alexander Graham Bell!
Congratulations to Tanf404 to be the first person on an Apple forum ever to admit that originality is basically impossible with tech! Apple did not invent the chipset, the battery, the back-lit display, touch-screens, cellular technology, metal or glass. We all take an idea that already exists, we apply it, manipulate it, and put it in context etc. I will never deny the fact that Steve Jobs was a great business man, for God's sakes, he is now gone and people are defending his effing cell phone?! However, everyone has something great to offer and all the fanboys and girls need to realize that and move on with their lives.
Oh about that internet privacy... More akin to cowardice when you hide behind fake names & photos then attack me. You still have yet to prove me wrong about Jobs' admission of theft on Triumph of the Nerds so that about sums up this convo. Good day.
yeah an now it has Siri so its an awesome fast app drawer.
Some people just need that hand free feeling that Siri has to offer. I'm sure it comes in handy under the table while your instructors try to teach you how to properly use the English language. Both platforms have amazing capabilities, and if one chooses Android over iOS (like myself), it does not make one any less intelligent. Furthermore, I find it very insulting to my intelligence that they call their in-store employees geniuses. The majority of the lot are not well trained at all.
Here is the deal! Imagine if you're the leader of a team of innovators who came up with everything that Apple executed so well, from the box, the packaging, the feel, the sexy styling, marketing, etc. Then you go on-line and see your Logo, design, model numbers, exact copies of what you spent your time and R and D developing, being knocked off and for sale by China. I would be livid ! Wouldn't you too, if you saw something that was like a baby to you, being knocked off.
Come on guys, let's say you sell Pharmaceuticals, I know that's not a very popular area, but you spent millions of dollars developing a medicine that cured something. Then immediately you see the same formula, with your logo and box design copied right down to the wording on the box. How would you feel.......ripped off, I'd imagine. Sure, few of us like the pharmaceutical Companies, and if it were a cure for cancer, we would want everyone to be able to get it at a reasonable cost, for the sake of mankind. That's just humans caring for others, but this is not a life saving product, it's a device to communicate and much more. It's a relationship, really. It's an intangible type of scenario.
Take Sony for example, if you were the CEO of SONY and China flooded the market with Exact copies of Sony Bravio HDTV's, same box, same model number, same everything. Wouldn't you do everything in your power to seize and desist this blatant slap in face? I think so.
Steve Jobs did not invent everything, but he was "the father figure" of the iPod, iPhone, iTunes, etc. And he changed the way the world listened to music and communicated with his insistent focus to make it perfect. It was HIS BABY. A proud Father doesn't like to see his baby abused, mistreated, and copied poorly, so sure he was upset, and I think most of you would be too, if you felt that your family was in danger. It's more about an emotional bond, than a patent or money issue, it's personal!!...........Not business.
West Texas
It occurred to me how short of a time, say 4-5 years since the first IPhone was unveiled, and how vast technology has changed in that short period of time!
It's like The Beatles, they were only together for 4-5 years, but executed a vast and similar game changer in music.
Yup you got it. Android copied widgets, mobile hotspot, copy and paste, MMS and so on from Apple. Oh wait....
But he stole ideas from companies, he stole from Xerox and tried to sue Microsoft when they implemented the same idea. Bill Gates even told him "You and I had a rich neighbor called Xerox, who always left their door unlocked, then one day I went in to steal the TV and you came in shortly after and said that you planned to steal it first."
And in an interview in the 1980s he even said that he and Apple were shameless for stealing ideas. Steve Jobs was a brilliant man, but seriously needed an ego check.
if Android stole ideas from iPhone, then IPHONE STOLE MONEYS FROM YOUR WALLETS! you should hate apple for this!
Steve died, he lost the battle. The karma of stealing ideas and claiming them as his own - death. Now, Android will rule the Galaxy with Samsung. I will be counting the remaining days of iPhone before it goes extinct.
The point is not to make them all the same...the point is to "improve upon ideas". What I want is for these companies to keep "1-upping" each other. We'll all get better products out of it. For example, voice actions on Android is wonderful and I made heavy use of it. Siri is better and I'm making heavy use of it. I want to see what either company will do with voice interaction over the next few years.
Very poor reference.
I'm specifically talking about his death being a lost tech battle and he died because karma from stealing ideas. The Android battle goes on since it was Apple vs Android and stealing ideas doesn't cause cancer.

Agreed,Its obvious how android operates like "garbage" to apple. Its the poor mans iphone and I hope samsung gets its ass handed to them in time for its thievery...
great submit, very informative. I'm wondering why the opposite specialists of this sector don't notice this. You should continue your writing. I'm sure, you have a great readers' base already!
Then why do all my coworkers and friends who could program your life away with RedHat or any other Linux distro use Android over iOS? These people's careers depend on the success of their platforms so I am sure they would be well informed. P.S. I run Ubuntu & Mac OS and when I leave the house, it's with a Nexus in my pocket. Fox News must do your fact checking.
Apple stole it's computer design from xerox(also Linux check you're facts) stole it's touch phone from LG when it came out with the LG Prada 2 or so years before Apple in 06 who's the real thief? It's scary that someone could fool so many people rather so many people are ignorant they can't find the truth for themselves.
The IPhone is an exact replica of the LG Prada same touch screen same smartphone compatibility eerily similar OS features...
People are idiots if they choose to believe that anything Apple created was ever its own innovation and yet it mercilessly attacks Google for attempting to join the gravy train shame on them what a bunch of crooks.
LG should have sue'd them into the ground when they were just small weeds in the grass of innovation taking root apron the backs of others...
I'm not q Microsoft fan I'm not a android fan I just rather hear the truth then be told what the truth is by a bunch of liars
