I'm trying to make a button have sound when you hover over it, but it isn't working and I don't know why.
I put the sound file above the "Over" frame where I want it to play.
When I click the play button at the bottom of the timeline, the sound works fine but when I go to test the movie the sound never shows up. I thought I might have accidentally cut off the sound or something, so I extended it in the timeline:
but that didn't work either. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and I'm getting frustrated. The actions that I put in the "Over" frame work fine, but the sound doesnt.
Open your properties panel. Go inside the button and click inside the frame that has the audio. Look at the Sync drop-down. Make sure it's set to event and not Stream. Stream will only play (in this situation) 1 frame of audio. Event will play all the audio.
Event is selected by default so I presume it is selected now but make sure because that would definitely cause the problem and we'll go from there.
Even if it has a long silence in the beginning it will eventually play as long as Event is selected.
From what I see above the silence isn't even a second long (depending on framerate) so you would still hear it.
Are you using any special compression settings in publish settings or any custom compression settings on the imported audios properties in the library?
No such option. You mentioned you can hti the play button and hear audio so I assumed your audio was on anyhow.
Can you try to isolate this? It's so basic it's hard to say what it could be.
Make a new flash doc. Draw one temporary button. Import that audio clip and place it on the timeline in the mouse over frame. Test it.
If that doesn't work, try another audio file.
Make sure your publish settings are set appropriately on audio (defaults to 16khz, yuck).
I was banking on an audio file corruption and you wouldn't hear any audio. At this point can you save your work into a new separate file (just for testing), remove the audio file and re-import it. Then add it back to the button.
My only question on this all is you're using the timeline rather than code so I tend not to suspect code is preventing the default action. Your button DOES show a rollover state correct? You just don't hear audio?
If it wasn't on the timeline it would make me think some code is running the preventDefault() method to stop the event from triggering the button. That or perhaps some code has set the buttons .enabled or .mouseEnabled to false. Or there is text in the button that you haven't disabled the ability to be selected. Text that can be selected can interfere with a buttons rollover so make sure text in or above that button isn't selectable (properties panel to deselect that option or set the .selectable property to false).
Lastly just for debugging perhaps you can set a listener for MOUSE_OVER and make sure it's being fired.
e.g. if the buttons name is myBtn:
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, function(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("Mouse Over!"); }, false, 0, true);
Then when you roll over the button you should see "Mouse Over!" in your trace window.

An important issue that must be watched by Western New Yorkers has to do with the proposal to allow hyrdroelectric power - from Canada - to be used in New York City.
The plan, which is highly favored by a majority of downstate lawmakers, is facing opposition from the state Senate. "Our state's resources should be used to create jobs in New York, rather than export them to a foreign country," the senators led by Sen. George Maziarz of hydropower-rich Niagara County wrote.
Of significance to this region is the NRG Energy Inc. facility in Dunkirk, which still needs more public support of its $700 million upgrade to its facility to produce electricity from natural gas instead of coal. Residents who have not yet done so can still voice their approval of the project by simply stating this: We back improvements of the NRG Energy plant in Dunkirk for the future of our region and upstate.
To send that simple message, visit www.PowerUpWNY.org or www.nyenergyhighway.com/contact, which is the Energy Highway Task Force. The deadline for all comments is Friday, only two days away.

If developers only took the jobs which we thought were good ideas, there wouldn't be enough jobs to go around, and the Next Big Thing would probably never happen.
Is the guy looking for a business partner or a developer? Unless you're being paid a percentage of revenue, what does it matter how good of an idea you think it is?
I understand clients are often stupid and unrealistic, but there's some reason they have the money and we don't.

Epigenetics & Chromatin: Interactions and processes – a BioMed Central conference
BioMed Central will be hosting this inaugural conference in association with its journal Epigenetics & Chromatin at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, on the 11-13 March 2013.
The conference will have a strong focus on how epigenetic components come together to regulate cellular processes. "Epigenetics research is progressing from a listing of component parts to a fuller understanding of dynamic processes," states Steven Henikoff (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center), conference organizer and co-Editor-in-Chief of Epigenetics & Chromatin. Henikoff continues that "Many disease states are increasingly recognized as having both a genetic and an epigenetic basis, and chromatin regulators are often found to be cancer driver genes,". This conference will highlight how the discovery of these epigenetic changes are increasingly relating to clinical findings.
The program consists of 10 sessions by 22 world key opinion leaders in epigenetics, including Adrian Bird (University of Edinburgh), Jeannie Lee (Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School) and David Spector (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). For the full list of speakers, the program and for how to register please visit the conference website. For further details, press passes and to pre-arrange interviews please contact the press office.
BioMed Central Research Awards – The deadline to recommend an article is fast approaching, with nominations closing on the 31st January. Why not vote for your favorite article in Epigenetics & Chromatin, the Molecular and Cellular Science category award which this year is judged by Yun-Bo Shi, John Rossi and Rocky S. Tuan, so get voting now.

Good evening Dan. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:09pm
I presume that is Lou Reed singing but it sure doesn't sound like him. Weird. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:11pm
Bodah, DJ:
@PB, yes, it's Lou. Don't you recognize this voice of his from the Loutallica album Lulu? Kidding... Yeah, these demos are from the 5CD box set Peel Slowly & See. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:11pm
evenin' dan! | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:12pm
shitty old mic, maybe and a young(er) voice | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:13pm
DB, I haven't heard that Lou/Metallica album but heard it is awful. What is Lou thinking. I hate Metallica. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:13pm
Raw music like this is always the best | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:13pm
say what you want about loutallica, but you've gotta like living in a universe where the same guy can produce 'heroin', 'metal machine music', and 'lulu'. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:15pm
@kenzo, I agree. Some of these stripped down demos are amazing. George Harrison's demo of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is great. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:15pm

I am glad they made the Loutallica album. It makes me feel like I am actually an American. | |

I just read a few weeks ago in either Uncut or Mojo that the guy who wrote Wild Thing (Chip Taylor?) is the actor Jon Voight's brother. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:28pm
wikipedia on Chip Tayor, who indeed wrote of Wild Thing: "He is the brother of actor Jon Voight and geologist Barry Voight. He is the uncle of actress Angelina Jolie and actor James Haven." | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:30pm
...wrote Wild Thing. was that snafu the result too much hasty editing? or not enough hasty editing? | |

Brian drain. Nice. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:41pm
I think Adkins also worked with steve stoll out of Chicago, crazy good electronic stuff | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:44pm
Bodah, DJ:
I don't think Brian Drain is Brian Brain or a M.A. related project. But the name is basically ungoogleable because (1) google insists on changing the search terms to "Brain Drain" and, if you get past that, (2) there are actually a bunch of Brian Drains out there! | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:47pm
No kidding. Just spent 5 minutes googling Brian Drain. Any hints how to find his stuff? | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:48pm
Hm. Interesting. The google-cookie remembers the second choice search I notice | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:48pm
Bodah, DJ:
@Tareq, sorry, I'll have to wait till I'm not in the middle of a show to employ my google-fu and crack the code! Let me know if you get anywhere. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:55pm
yea seriously, that song at around 9:38pm or so, was awesome, was it brian drain? i cant find it. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 9:55pm
Good lord. Future pubah disco. | |

I would like a woman's name analogous to Brian Drain. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 10:11pm
All I've found is a txt file from some MIT ftp mirror site (I don't know what I just typed) that seems to be a copyright record. Apparently Brian Drain's real name is Brian Corwin, d/b/a White Wolf Music, and the copyright date for Strafe on the Lane is 1984... | |

Mon. 1/16/12 10:19pm

Damien, I second your recommendation. Cabot Clothbound Cheddar aged at Jasper Hill is one of the best cheeses made in the USA, and even gives Montgomery Cheddar (the best cheddar in the world, IMHO) a run for its money. | |
Mon. 1/16/12 10:21pm

@Fred, I think so -- hard to remember by now. I recommend the archive - it'll be up within an hour after the show is over and you can jump right to that portion of the archive by clicking the link next to the Brian Drain song. I think that's the one though. | |

"I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else right now," Cook told the crowd at the brain cancer research benefit, at which Cook served as the grand marshal and competitor, as his team had raised more than $40,000.
Adam Cook had battled the disease throughout Cook's American Idol run last year.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to David and his family.

By: William Pan, PhD, APHA Statistics Section Chair
Greetings Fellow Stati-manics:
It has been a pleasure serving as Chair this past year. I can definitively say that I have learned a great deal about our Section and I am impressed by the expanding interest of our members to get involved in APHA. In the past two years, over 10 people who have never been involved in Section Governance have either been elected or volunteered themselves for positions of Chair, Secretary, Section Council, Governing Council, Student Liaison, Webmaster and APHA Leadership Appointments (e.g., Editorial Board, Science Board, Action Board, Education Board, etc.). With each new person getting involved, our Section becomes even more influential in helping our mission and the mission of APHA. Congratulations to our newly elected Section Leaders: Jeff Wilson from Arizona State University as Chair-Elect; Marta Mendiondo at the University of Kentucky as Secretary-Elect; Gary Burkholder at Walden University and Bertha Higaldo at the University of Alabama-Birmingham as Section Councilors; and Amy Donaldson at the University of Utah as Governing Councilor. They will all begin their positions at the end of the Annual Meeting in Denver. In addition to our elected future leaders, I am happy to announce that we have two Section members recently appointed to APHA Leadership Positions: Linda Chan from the University of Southern California was appointed to the Editorial Board of the AJPH; and Jean Pierre-Pascal from the University of Miami was appointed to the Advisory Board for the Nation's Health. Unfortunately, we have yet to have a member appointed to the Science Board, whose mission mirrors our own. I hope next year we are able to obtain at least one of the Appointments to this Board.
Annual Meeting Highlights
Our Program Chair, Karl Peace, has organized an exciting Agenda for this year's Annual Meeting in Denver. We have a full slate of sessions ranging from Applications of Statistics in Rural Health, Smoking and Social Justice to Methodology Sessions in Survey Data Analysis and Statistical Modeling. In addition to these sessions, Amy Donaldson and Jack Barnette organized our 2010 Student Research Competition, which features 7 PhD and Post-Doctoral students from four universities (Michigan, Connecticut, Harvard, Johns Hopkins). We were fortunate to receive donations from Jean Orelien (SciMetrika), Karl Peace, and Bill Gould (STATA) to support registration and membership for all of our students competing this year as well as awards for the top three papers to be selected after the session. Many thanks to Amy, Jack, Jean, Karl and Bill who made the competition this year possible!
Section and Spiegelman Awards: Each year we recognize outstanding members of our section for their commitment and contributions to statistics and public health in industry, government and academia. This year we honor three excellent people: Charles Disogra of Knowledge Networks, is being recognized with the Industry Award for his innovative advancements in address-based sampling methods and computational metrics; Elizabeth Zell of CDC is being recognized with the Government Award for her long-term contributions and leadership not only at CDC, but in APHA, the American Statistical Association, and vaccine safety research; and Larry Moulton of Johns Hopkins University is being recognized with the Academia Award for his many contributions to statistical methodology in cluster randomized trials and vaccine research, as well as his leadership in our Section and mentorship to junior faculty and students. In addition to these Section Awards, we have the honor of awarding Nilanjan Chatterjee with the 2010 Mortimer Spiegelman Award. Nilanjan, who is the Chief of the Biostatistics Branch at the National Cancer Institute, is an outstanding researcher who focused on genetic and environmental causes of cancer. Congratulations to all of our Awardees.
Lowell Reed Lecture: We are fortunate to have Clare Weinberg of NIEHS giving our Lowell Reed Lecture. Clare is a renowned statistician who has been dedicated to improving methods for the design and analysis of epidemiologic methods with particular focus on sources of bias, missing data, response heterogeneity, and mis-measurement. Her talk will focus on contributions statisticians can make to further our understanding of genomics.
History and Future
As I come to the last months of my term as Chair, it is important for me to reflect on what I have learned. A thorough history of our Section from 1908 to 1972 was sent to me this past summer by Ellen Naor, who was the Statistics Section Secretary in the 1970s, and was written by our 1972 Chair, Helen Chase. The document is located on our Section website and is a very interesting read. The Vital Statistics Section started out as mostly physicians who were interested in vital registration and statistics. It quickly morphed by the 1940s and 50s to a section whose members largely resemble our characteristics today: persons with training in mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, and demography. Thus, our name was changed to the Statistics Section. At the pinnacle of our Section, we had 809 members (1969), comprising 3.2% of APHA. While APHA membership has changed little over the past 40 years, our Section had just 420 members as of August 2010 (1.6% of the total). While there are likely many reasons for this that involve an analysis of cost, competition and dwindling interest; there are three encouraging signs that give me hope that our Section will continue to increase our influence in APHA:
First, the variation in size of our section has not changed dramatically over the past 5-10 years. We have remained relatively stable with a range of around 400-500 members, yet the past few years we have seen an increase in the number of members who were not previously involved in APHA governance, getting increasingly involved. Not just in the elected positions of our Section, but in APHA Leadership positions and as volunteers.
Second, a few Section Members have taken it upon themselves to initiate Social Networking pages for our section (thanks to Josh Di Gennaro, Mike Baiocchi and Katherine Lin). We have a relatively large following on Facebook (you can search American Public Health Association Statistics Section) and a growing group on Linked In. These are great tools that we can use to quickly communicate Section news and announcements, as well as help students network with potential employers.
Third, the past decade has seen tremendous growth in the Public Health field – not only in the number of accredited Schools of Public Health, but in industries focusing on public health services and research as well as increasing opportunities globally. The demand for experts in the field of statistics (including biostatistics, demography, economics, etc.) with experience in applications to public health will surely rise. If our Section is properly oriented to incorporate this demand, we will reap the benefits.
I look forward to seeing you all in Denver!

The 138th Annual Meeting and Expo will be held this year in Denver, CO from November 6th to 10th. As the oldest and largest gathering of public health professionals in the world, it will unite the public health community and afford professionals and practitioners the chance to enhance their knowledge and exchange information with their peers. With more than 1,000 cutting edge scientific sessions focusing on the latest public health challenges, 700 information booths and state-of-the-art public health products and services, this is an event you won't want to miss.
The theme of this year's annual meeting and expo will be "Social Justice: A Public Health Imperative". As an issue that lies at the heart of public health, social justice is central to public health's mission and is frequently described as its core value. The social circumstances in which we are born, live and work play a greater role in longevity and overall health in the United States than genes, health insurance and access to health services. Many sessions this year will explore why certain populations bear a disproportionate burden of disease and mortality and what the public health community can do to better address the cause of these inequalities.

Karl E. Peace has two books, which he co-authored with Ding-Geng Chen, being published on Clinical Trial Methodology and Analysis of Clinical Trial Data. Information on these books can be located below:
1. Clinical Trial Methodology by Karl E. Peace and Ding-Geng Chen, published by Chapman Hall/ CRC Biostatistics Series
ISBN: 978-1-58488-917-5 Review: "The book is an excellent overview predicated on the first author's seasoned experiences in designing, analyzing, and communicating the results of clinical trials across a broad number of medical disciplines. … A nice introductory feature is the history of drug law and regulation, which helps to frame the subsequent statistical discussion. … The real-world examples that dominate the last few chapters are fantastic. … There is nothing like a series of examples from an experienced clinical trialist to whet the appetite of those involved in the noble enterprise of medical (and more specifically pharmaceutical) research with the goal of improving the public's health. This book does an admirable job in giving the regulatory and statistical foundations for clinical trials, coupled with real-world examples of how statistical methodology has guided the development of important medicines. …" Gregory G Enas, Ph.D., Senior Director - Regulatory - Diabetes , Lilly Corporate Center, Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, IN 46285
2. Clinical Trial Data Analysis Using R by Ding-Geng Chen and Karl E. Peace, to be published by Chapman Hall/ CRC Biostatistics Series, December 16, 2010
By: David J. Fitch, Guatemala
To evaluate a health program, the experimental program is initiated in a sample of areas selected from some population and results are compared with a sample of areas selected from the same population, with just the regular program. USAID has never evaluated a health program and evaluation is practically unknown in international health. UNICEF spent 27 million dollars on expanded health work and their evaluation in Africa. Experimental and control areas were selected from different populations thus no conclusions could be reached, although very serious ones were drawn. Programs were ended. We have a joint program on evaluation with the IHS on Monday from 8:30-10:00. Let's raise a stink about such statistically poor work when millions of children are needlessly dying.

Based on the entire 377 page February 2009 issue of Psychological Reports entitled "Predicting & Preventing Homicide: A Cost Effective Empirical Approach from Infancy to Adulthood" and participation in Mayor Richard Daley's Youth Violence Task Force, the Chicago Public Schools' CEO Ron Huberman was able to reproduce the youth teen model of homicide using current school data. He then obtained a $60M US Justice Department grant to focus on empirical treatments of anger management and jobs and mentoring for 350 ultra-high risk youth in 38 high schools in the fall of 2009, resulting in lowering shootings 86% and violent acts 46%. The material was presented at the Sixth European Conference on Violence in Psychiatry in October 2009 in Stockholm. In November 2009, President William Jefferson Clinton commented that the work was "interesting and persuasive," and forwarded it off to Attorney General Eric Holder. Northwestern University Kellogg Management and McCormick Engineering Schools and the Farley Entrepreneurship Center partnered with Robert John Zagar, supplying him with an investor, market, and business plans. Thus, Zagar Safety Group, Inc. was formed. In the fall of 2010, 2-hour Internet testing will be made available to the military, police and fire departments, nuclear power industry, airlines, the prison systems, and others. The assessment will include ability, mental health (personality), substance abuse, abuse, and violence potential with a simple and easy to understand report. Robert John Zagars' violence risk appraisal tool has an area under the curve of .99 for adults, .91 for youth, and .96 for individuals (combined adults and youth) after more than 2M calculations on data collected in the "first" juvenile court, the Juvenile Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County. Area under the curve is similar to the receiver operating characteristic, including sensitivity and specificity. The safety scales will be published in an upcoming Psychological Reports. Access to this ground breaking work on homicide is available for free at http://www.zagarsafetygroup.com.

Blige, Cyndi Lauper, the Beastie Boys, among other, can be purchased on iTunes for only 99 cents and all proceeds go to NKF. Click here to support NKF and download the song.
The uneasy expression on her mother's face did nothing to dissuade pre-schooler Melissa Yeung from taking every opportunity to find worms and mush them into her pockets for later study. Yeung wasn't trying to gross out her mom, she was simply doing what, at age 30, she wryly refers to as "worm anatomy."
Yeung, who grew up in Toronto, is a nephrology fellow at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, where she works in the lab at the Transplant Research Center. To read more about Melissa and her National Kidney Foundation-funded research click here
Depression has long been associated with end stage kidney disease, but a new study published in this month's American Journal of Kidney Diseases, the official journal of the National Kidney Foundation, found that 20% of patients with early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) also suffered from depression.

While you're in back-to-school mode, buying notebooks and knapsacks and sharpening No. 2 pencils, take a step back and a moment to learn something for yourself about one of the body's most essential and hardest working organ – the kidneys.
High blood pressure, puffy eyes and swollen feet are just a few of the warning signs of kidney disease. Learn the other symptoms as well as how your kidneys work then take the Kidney Quiz.
Donor Lora on left |
by Lora Wilson, Living Donor
As a non-directed donor, I was told that my kidney was a match for a 71 year-old woman from New Jersey. I imagined a lonely widow who perhaps had an adult child with health issues that prohibited living donation. After surgery, I was surprised to learn that my recipient, Dee, came from a very large family afflicted by genetic kidney disease in multiple generations.
I had expected to help only one person, but quickly learned that my gift had helped many by giving them back their mother and grandmother. We all want our gifts to have the largest possible impact. One of the goals of NKF's End the Wait! Initiative, is to maximize the impact of each donation through a nationwide paired exchange program.
Labor Day weekend is approaching and you may be planning your final barbeque of the summer. As you pound your cutlets and fire up the grill, don't grab the usual sodium-packed marinade sitting on your shelf. Take a few extra minutes and whip up this easy and kidney-friendly BBQ Pineapple Chicken recipe from the Kidney Kitchen.
Whether you fill it with your morning coffee, midday soup or evening tea, the "Love Your Kidneys" mug is a warm way to show your support for the kidney cause on a daily basis.
At just $4 for NKF members and $6 for non-members, this 12 oz. white ceramic mug makes a great gift for friends and family members, health care professionals and co-workers. Shop for this and other "Love Your Kidney" merchandise at the NKF store.

Édith Piaf, also known as "The Little Sparrow," was a French singer who became an icon of France during World War II. Piaf was born in Paris on December 19, 1915, and rose to international stardom in the 1940s as a symbol of French passion and tenacity. Of Piaf's many ballads, "La Vie en Rose" is remembered as her signature song. Édith Piaf died in France in 1963.
"All I've done all my life is disobey."
"Don't care what people say. Don't give a damn about their laws."
"I want to make people cry even when they don't understand my words."
Early Life
Édith Piaf was born Édith Giovanna Gassion in Belleville, Paris. She was named after the World War I British nurse Edith Cavell, executed for helping French soldiers escape from German captivity. Her mother, Annetta Giovanna Maillard, was an Italian cafe singer, who performed under the name "Line Marsa." Édith's father, Louis-Alphonse Gassion, was a street acrobat.
Édith 's parents soon abandoned her, and she may have lived for a short time with her maternal grandmother, who ran a brothel. In 1929, at the age of 14, she joined her father in his street performances all over France.
Édith soon separated from her father, setting out on her own as a street singer in and around Paris. At 17, she had a daughter named Marcelle, who died of meningitis two years later.
Rise to Fame
In 1935, Piaf was discovered by Louis Leplée, who owned the successful club Le Gerny off the Champs-Élysées. Her nervous energy and small stature inspired the nickname that would stay with her for the rest of her life: La Môme Piaf ("The Little Sparrow"). Leplée ran a major publicity campaign promoting Piaf's opening night. She was popular enough to record two albums that same year.
Louis Leplée was murdered the following spring. After authorities investigated her as an accomplice to the crime, Piaf took charge of her image. She adopted her stage name—Édith Piaf—permanently, and commissioned songs that romanticized her life on the streets, emphasizing her passion and inner strength.
Piaf was one of the most popular performers in France during World War II. Her concerts for German servicemen were controversial, although she later stated that she had been working for the French Resistance. While the veracity of this claim is unclear, she was instrumental in helping a number of individuals escape Nazi persecution.
After the war, her fame spread quickly. She toured Europe, South America and the United States. Although American audiences were initially put off by her dour demeanor and dark clothes, Piaf garnered glowing reviews and ultimately achieved enough of an audience to warrant two televised performances on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Personal Life
The personal life of Édith Piaf was characteristically dramatic. She was involved in three serious car crashes after 1951, leading to morphine and alcohol addictions.
Piaf had high-profile romances with many of her male associates and some of the biggest celebrities in France.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
Truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.

I'm a big fan, but I'm not optimistic about a replacement. It seems like a quaint product now since it has no connectivity to anything. That is also its strength - no iCloud needed. But I've never been a fan of the mirror finish back - sorry Apple, but that was not a good way to design a portable product.

The main reason I'd like to see a new one is that I like to have my entire music library (including a bunch of audio books) on one device (besides my computer.) I don't have the time nor the inclination to swap out music every time I want to listen to an album that may or may not be on my iPhone, nano, etc.
Ideally, an update with an SSD would come out some time this year. I'm not overly hopeful, but that's my wish |

iPod Classic outphased
I think they'll phase out the iPod in the october event. This would, after the 'new iPad' is updated with the new connector, be the only device with the old connector. And since I don't think they'll update it, they'll probably have to stop selling them. Unfortunately

Well, looks like I was wrong. They kept the classic and instead solved the problem of fitting the iPad mini on the products page that I mentioned by completely redesigning their display of products that they've had for YEARS! Completely did not expect that.

I would love a bigger ipod. As mentioned before I want to have all my music(albums, and in lossless quality) available on 1 device.I am collecting music for years, but travelling now, so a cloud is no option.I tried the Argos 48(500 gb), but that broke down after 2 month.
What I need is a Ipod classic of minimum 1 terrabite, that would be simple to make nowadays. |

Last "Real" iPod Standing With ClickWheel
The only iPod left standing with a Click-wheel. The shuffle has a "dumbed down" click-wheel and has no display. I am talking about my main music player. And for me the click-wheel was simply brilliant..simple and elegant. I have an iPhone which I do like, but for my main music player, I just prefer the look and functionality of the Click-Wheel iPods.
So glad to see it is still available. I have waited since the iPod Nano 5G for a Nano with 32GB and a click-wheel. I was very disappointed when they scrapped the beautiful 5G for the 6G, which was a huge step backwards. And the 7G is just "Touch lite". No thanx. I am giving up on a 32GB Nano with a click-wheel and will be getting the classic to replace my 8GB fattie. I'll be able to keep a LOT of stuff on it and it will serve as my "backup library" for all my music, photos, and some movies. And with USB3 and the old/new connector adapter, it will hopefully remain useful to me for years to come. I have had the fattie for 5 years. It has served me well...it will become my "shuffle".

Really hope there's an upgrade impending, though I'm not actually getting any hopes up for that matter. But if they do, I hope they retain the click wheel, it's kinda traditional and cool too!

I bought a 7g Nano a couple of weeks ago at the Apple Store. The sales guy said they sell lots (I don't know what that means in actual numbers) of Classics - apparently many people like to use them attached to a speaker base for the house stereo. Oh, just like I do |

They could have at least lowered the price. I seriously doubt it costs them much more than $100 to make. $199 would be much better.

Dec 2, 2012, 09:04 PM | #39 |
I agree. But Apple has always been very unwilling to lower prices for ANY of its products, so I'm not sure what they're going to do either.

Yes, precisely. I currently have a group where i keep in touch with friends based on toronto, london, dubai and calgary. If all those people were on bbm, i wouldn't care but they haven't yet seen the light, so whatsapp is the next best option, even though its a pathetically mediocre version of bbm.
Thankfully though, we have the sideloading option. Gotta say, ability to run android apps is BRILLIANT. Good call Rim.
I honestly believe that we'll see whatsapp come to bb10 within 2013. - 12-15-2012, 10:04 PM #52
I happen to use Whatsapp also. I also plan to upgrade to BB10 once it comes out. So I really hope they make Whatsapp. Eventually if not on launch.
i personally hate whatsapp. i just hope that bbm begins to get licensed to other platforms. its not even funny how much better it is then other messaging services on the market right now. kick was the alternative, but ever since they got heat from blackberry, they have had a hard time making a come back.
I don't use Whatsapp.
But since RIM has stated that they Have Top companies building apps for BB10 I bet they Have to keep this a secret. I mean RIM has to keep things close to the chest.
I believe it will be Well worth it come January 30th and that they Won't fail the consumers. Thor and his team know what the public wants, I'm sure that they will Not disappoint.I wait for the future...to COME back to BlackBerry! - 12-15-2012, 11:23 PM #57
I don't use this App but BB10 needs to be as complete as possible. It is as simple as that. We all know RIM knows that, perhaps better than all of us. I would expect the company would either have this "top" apply or an alternative at launch. I guess we'll see.
Whatsapp will not be on blackberry 10
well, as mentioned on thread title,
this could be a NEWS or RUMOURS.
it could be news from the blog to send rumours to gauge peeps reaction on how well received whatsapp to the community.
and might as well rumour it so that rim can surprise everyone with BIG apps which will be native in BB10.
as Adele says, 'Rumour has it'

For all we know, and who is to say that app developers were told not to say anything as of to what may or may not be on BB on launch. Could be one of the reasons why when someone contacts them to inquire about it, they are told that currently there are no plans on making an app for BB10. Could all be part of RIMS strategy or secrets on release day
People need to stop using the argument that "you can just sms" or "i've never heard of it".
Its not simply about communicating a message, it's a utility app. It provides a vale beyond just delivering a bunch of words. Its like saying bbm is the same as sms.....you're comparing apples and oranges.
As i said in my last post, its a far cry from bbm and i detest using it to be perfectly honest, but its the only way to keep in touch with my friends who are all on different paltforms, therefore it is a must have app for me.
Again though, as much as i'd like to see a native app (and believe one will eventually come), as long as i can sideload it, im a happy camper. - 12-16-2012, 12:23 AM #62RIM is dead. Long live BlackBerry!
I currently use Skype on my 9930 for international IM and have tried Whatsapp but had issues with it so deleted it. I have some friends who use Viber, and like it, but I've never tried it. I could care less myself as I don't personally know anyone using Whatsapp but apparently many do. That being said, I'm betting that if it doesn't come to BB10 some enterprising dev will come up with a good cross-platform IM app that will do the job. It would be a no brainer for guaranteed sales for BB10 devices.
There are trolls in BlackBerry clothing among us. Report and never reply to obvious troll posts, they will die without responses from you. - 12-16-2012, 03:50 AM #65
Whatsapp will not be on blackberry 10
how about viber?
there's an option for whatsapp... i know some of my friends using viber because of the wifi calls and the cross-platform.
we could just ask viber whether theyre doing a BB10 in the 'forever unupdated thread' .
heck. I'll just ask straightaway then.

This is a BIG blow for BB 10. This is the kind of apps that are needed at launch.
I hope they change their mind, or hope RIM would offer them some money ( Like Microsoft )
Whatsapp is NEEDED if people are to switch to BB 10

Whatsapp will not be on blackberry 10
In Europe, especially Germany, WhatsApp simply ist a must have, one of the standard applications a lot of people are using, if you like it or not. And don't forget, we are talking about cross plattfrom communication, BlackBerry 10 as THE communication device without WhatsApp is unthinkable in my opinion.
I don't understand their decision, and RIM should do everything to persuade them to go for the new platform.

Whatsapp is also huge in Asia PAC and if the app isn't on BB 10 it may have an impact on the size of the Splash RIM makes in that region with the new platform. I hope Alec and his team are on it because not having the number on cross platform messaging app would be a glaring hole in the app catalog and hurt early reviews as well.

Got it. Never use it. Not going to miss it
Just like BBM.
Use SMS. It's universal.

SMS doesn't allow groups but MMS does, it's pretty easy, not that I use it much.
