That's not the point of this article. It's about WHY people like Apple's products, not IF they like Apple's products.

Not surprising, Apple appeals to the masses with the simplicity of their software. It's not for everyone though, techies still want more options.
For mobile it's perfect, because I don't really want unnecessary widgets and other junk that clutters the screen. But for desktops features and capabilities are a must and take precedence over simplicity and lacking functionality. |

I asked 17 people in a Microsoft store what product they were most excited about this year. They said iPads.

It's the Ecosystem, Stupid!
With Apple's iOS rapidly losing market share, and with Android increasingly dominating in sales, how long will devs keep supporting the underdog?
It's the Ecosystem, stupid. And for Apple to remain on top of the ecosystem wars, it has two choices: Get back its lost market share, or spend huge amounts on R&D to make lots of exclusive, "must-have" software in-house, like they were forced to do with maps. Without market share, the third-party devs will pay as much attention to iOs as they do to OSX. IOW, almost none. |

WOW, you interview 70 shoppers worldwide???? That is a joke of a sample size. With that number of people talked to you are pretty much manufacturing the results. It would be like me going to my Apple store and asking 1 shopper, that would be the equivalent to what this survey did.
If you want to make a claim like they are at least ask a number in the thousands. |

As far as Maps, you are again confusing Google vs Apple as far as bargaining position as well as the fact that Maps is built in compared to other companies (Google wanted concessions as far as access to user info). Even then Google quickly brought a Maps app to market and they even admitted it was superior to what they have on Android as far as UI. So your argument doesn't hold water.

While 70 is a very small (and possibly bias) sample size, this is definitely true for me. I'm sure that phones like the Samsung Note do more, but I'm too deep in the ecosystem (by choice) to want to care.

I like apple products for numerous reasons..but one in particular is software and software updates..my iPad 2 is running iOS 6 and will probably run iOS 7 and 8.. If it was an android tablet from a year or 2 ago it would not be receiving updates and would be left behind..

Sorry, I did a bad job of expressing my point. iTunes as in a central app to download music, podcasts, apps, etc. that will automatically sync with my phones. Plug it in and it works; no muss, no fuss.

But how is this different from any other platform? If you have hundreds or thousands of dollars invested in Windows apps and hardware, how likely are you to switch to Apple? If you have an Android device and lots of apps for that, will you dump it all and buy an iPad? Or do you look for an OS that lets you have the best of both worlds (such as running Windows virtualized on a Mac)?

Apple just makes better products in general. They delivered the iPhone at the right time--when others were still fumbling with their 10 different versions-per-year and buy-one-get-5-free strategies. Just make it better and the eco system will practically build itself from the millions of satisfied users.

People (including me) buy Apple products because they work. I know I won't be queuing up to return a dead piece of junk or something that doesn't do what the manufacturer says it will do. Issues are fixed by remote control and new features are added. I'm not abandoned as soon as my credit card is swiped. That's why Apple products sell. Why should I buy 2-5 pieces of cheap junk hoping to get something that will do what I need when I can get it right the first time?

Did you hear that sound? I think the person you were replying to was that Android lacks an easy way for average people to manage their devices and the apps stored on them. They are asking for an easier experience for "them". For all your posturing, I bet that you use Google play and every other google service. All this talk of "choice" is marketing bullcrap anyway. You "can" use alternatives but you can also shove toothpicks under your fingernails too. If I was an Android user, I would probably use the easiest and most comprehensive options available. The real "choice" you have is the platform you choose. Everything else is an illusion. Realistically, on iOS, you have a lot of choice for book stores and I would gain nothing but headaches from security risks, scams and incompatibility with multiple stores for apps.

---------- Hmmm...I can't remember the last time I used iTunes for anything. Maybe it was when I got my iPhone 5 and set it up off my 4S backup. Otherwise I never use it.

iCloud represents the bigger lock in here. If people start using iOS devices independent from their computers they won't even have local copies of these things anymore. As much as I like the Apple ecosystem, it would be nice if there was some ability to export from iCloud. This would apply to things like your word processing documents, not just your music, videos and apps.

Baking Tips For French Macarons Sweet Success: 10 Tips For Baking the Perfect Macaron by Sara Yoo 2/13/13 19 Reactions 224 Shares Print 163 42 19 0 0 With their vibrant colors and lacy frills, dainty, crisp-crusted French macarons are the perfect Valentine's Day baking project. But these lovely little delicacies are temperamental enough to stump even the most accomplished chefs. Even if you follow a detailed recipe down to the letter, a batch of macarons can go very wrong very quickly. Thanks to humidity, an unreliable oven temperature gauge, or an overly enthusiastic stirring hand, you may find yourself facing macaron-ageddon rather than baking bliss. But before you throw in the tea towel, we've assembled a few tips to solve your sugary conundrums. Start Use Aged Egg Whites What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Aging the egg whites dehydrates them, resulting in a firmer, more stable meringue. Place your egg whites in a plastic wrap-covered, nonporous bowl, and poke a few holes in the plastic with a toothpick. Leave the bowl in the refrigerator for up to three days. Be sure to bring the egg whites back to room temperature before using. 1 / 10 Use the Freshest Ingredients What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A recipe calling for aged eggs does not mean that you should use eggs past their expiration date! Buy only the freshest ingredients including almond meal: old almond meal causes a macaron to lose its glossy luster. Source: Flickr User woodleywonderworks 2 / 10 Back to the Grind What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Your almond meal should be very finely ground so that it fits through a mesh sieve. If you're using packaged almond meal that appears too coarse to sift, give it a good grind in a food processor to break apart any larger pieces. 3 / 10 Gel With Your Color What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Liquid food coloring can alter the texture of your macarons, making your batter too runny. I use gel color and add it while whipping the meringue. Don't be afraid to use a little too much: incorporating the almond meal mixture slightly diminishes the potency of the color. 4 / 10 Don't Sweat the Technique What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Every baker has an opinion about the best way to create the perfect macaron batter, a process known as macaronnage. The idea is to press out just enough air from the batter so that it runs off your spatula thickly, slowly, but consistently. I like to gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue, scooping from the sides, and then "punch" the center of the batter with my spatula. Others prefer pressing the batter into the side of the bowl. Find what works best for you. 6 / 10 Let Dry What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you find that the tops of your macarons are cracking in the oven, allow your piped macarons ample time to dry with the next batch. This can take upwards of 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the humidity of the room. You'll know they are adequately dried when you dab the tops with your finger and nothing sticks. 6 / 10 Banish Humidity What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I learned this the hard way when one day I couldn't get my macarons to fully dry and I realized that it had just started raining that morning. If it's very humid, use a dehumidifier or wait to bake on a not-so-muggy day. Source: Flickr User teresaphillips1965 7 / 10 Hot and Bothered What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Forgo the unreliable temperature gauge in your oven and get a trusty oven thermometer instead. 8 / 10 A Crackling Shame What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you sufficiently dry your piped macarons but find that they still crack while baking, your oven may be trapping too much humidity. Try using a wooden spoon handle to prop open the oven door just a smidge for the first two minutes of baking. Source: Flickr User Rubber Dragon 9 / 10 Practice! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 No one gets it right the first time around. With so many variables, you will need to find the equation that works best for you, your kitchen, and your oven. Get ready for a baking adventure, but when you create the perfect, airy-light macaron, it will all be worth it! 11 / 10 163 42 19 0 0 Back to Homepage Read More Valentine's DayCooking BasicsMacaronsCooking TipsBaking Valentine's Day Embrace Your Foxy Side With This Fresh Take on Boudoir 1 week ago Stop — You're Washing Your Lingerie All Wrong! 2 weeks ago A Little Love Goes a Long Way: Basic French Macarons 2 weeks ago We Spy: Celebrity Hairstyles!

As usual I'm a little late on this but it's because of my job. I'm a middle school P.E. teacher and the 7th grade football coach. Once school starts for the first three months I have no life outside of work, with exception to my historical fencing practices and tourneys. Maybe one day I'll actually make some considerable progress on my Fett suit.
(sidenote we won our first game this morning 36-6.)
I was lucky enough to land a job as a graphic artist in my home town about 15 years ago. I worked in the press room for the first year then moved to table artist the next year. After about 8 years we got rid of the tables and went to computers. We have been a MAC based company since then.
Main program used, Adobe Illustrator.
I am a special fx artist and puppeteer for film/tv. I also do freelance sculpting for toy companies and private comissions displays on the side.
and now a Fett obsessed broke dude ..lol.....
I started as a framer, then trim carpenter, then cabinet maker, then drafter, now...I am a Project MAnager/Designer for a local millwork and casework company. Basically, I take architects basic detail drawings and I make them feasable shop plans.
Kinda boring but it keeps me busy until ILM decides that they need me for something...
Porn Star.
Known for my incredibly huge..........
Of course im kidding - third year law student (done in December wooo-hooo!) and proud caretaker of Ernie the adopted greyhound.
I work as a Software Tester for a well known large software company. Been doing this for over 8 years..
Corporate Conference Sales Manager for a major hospitality company. And yes... it is as exciting as it sounds! ZZZZZzzzzzz!!!
i work at a gross. store. (i hate it) i go to collage at night. im going to computer programming.
I am a Police Officer in southeast Tennessee. Currently I am on our tactical team as a door breecher/shotgunner. Been doing this since 1994, seen a lot, but I can't think of anything else that I would rather be doing. I may never be rich but I did not get into it for the money. Nice to know that I am in good company here on TDH.
Well I'm up here in the great white north (Canada).
Former specialzied infantry who now does Corporate investigations and executive protections.
I work for a freight transportation company..Awesome pay, but loooooong hours and its a bit stressful at times..
Like I always welcome to any new member to the forum....WELCOME to the great family of TDH, and expect to break your "Piggy Bank" sooner than expected, plus be looking around for an extra Part-time job!
Seriously, this will be a time and money consuming hobby (with either Fett in this case). It's complicated and detailed. NOTE: Read the posts of your interest, specially the OLD ones (4-5 pages back from present or last posts) to look for the answers you're looking for, before you post a question that has an answer and is there somewhere (even with pics or tutorials sometimes).
Enjoy and ....HAPPY HUNTING!...literally!
I assume youre welcoming me
Im not at all new to this hobby..Ive been breaking my bank for many many years...I am one of the original 10 members of the 501st, if that gives you a clue how long Ive been in the game..lol
I just now started wanting a Fett though..after I saw Rogue Studios at DCon this year..
I am a father of twins (Emma and Zachary) and a high school history teacher. The father gig is full time and the most fufilling....well the teaching part is pretty good too.
I'm a hot truckin' momma!!!! Seriously, Soju and I are now truckers...GOOD living, bad life. We just got back from four weeks on the road, and ****, does it feel nice to relax. We went through 39 states, though. Unless you live in the very northeastern tip of the country (north and east of NY) or Kansas (don't ask me HOW we ALWAYS managed to miss Kansas), we visited your fine state!
I'm a residential electrician / Service Tech for a small electrical contracting company here in Michigan. My profile pic is the Bantha Skull tattoo I got on my left shoulder last month. Crazy, huh ?
A supervisor at an Insurance company.
Not really, I've got one too. Got it 4-5 years ago.

I work in the receiving department for a large medical research company. My wife also works here in the metrology department, she working on an Aurra Sing costume (she is so pale we have to darken her skin for the correct look).
Previously I was a manager for Uhaul. I worked in one in Baltimore MD. It was a pretty rough area, I knew most of my county police by name as they were always in the store. We used to sit on our building roof with a pellet gun and take pot shots at hookers using our trucks to turn tricks.
Before that I had quite a few odd jobs mostly in fast food but my 2nd favorite of all time was working in a Halloween shop (bastiches still owe me two paychecks).
My favorite job is raising my daughter named after my favorite female jedi, Mara Jade.
Graphic Designer, I design catalog pages. Also do Illustrations and Photoshop work.
occupation.......Struggling artist/college student...Goodtimes
I'm a student and janitor.
Former Baptist Minister.
Currently a lowly Production Worker in a Command Center Solutions company. (We made the control stations at NASA)
I work to the ATO..(Australian Taxation Office)..basically and aussie version of the IRS I guess.
but I'm still a nice guy....really I am
I'm a Leather Designer/Smith here at NyghtCraft Leatherwerks . If your interested , a tiny sample of my work can be seen at www.renaissancefashions.com/armor/index.shtml and in the galleries of www.warriormistress.com . My own site www.ashtonomicon.com will be up soon . I have done Leather pieces for bands ; White Zombie , GWAR , and am currently still doing work for the MISFITS . I , also , am the vendor coodinator & special event coordinator for Ceremony , a Goth/Industrial club in Boston ( www.ceremonyboston.com ) .
I don't sleep alot ...

I decided to quit the post office and now I'm back in school for (IT) Network Technician.
Project Manager and Sytems Administrator at IBM (Global Services) though I desperately want to either go dedicated PM within IBM --- or more likely the need exists to get out of IBM and into full time PM work at someplace that treats me a little better, pays me closer to what I'm worth, and lets me do the work I'm trained to do and talented in...
Or ... let my comic concept come to life and have a career there...
Or... finally get my **** Ph.D. and persue a teaching job since it's one of those things I've always wanted to do. It's either that or get my J.D. and become a swarthy lawyer type.
I wonder. What would a Mandalorian Lawyer's armor be made out of? Teflon? Hmmm....
When I made my first post back on pg.5, I was unemployed. BUT, since the beginning of March, I work in an office that does the substance abuse assessments for the county I live in. I also work at a friend's pizza place on the side sometimes.
ex-military police (95b huh), ex-civilain police officer ( hit by car while on duty, can no longer work as such).......currently i work in maint. at a major university.
I am a Soil Scientist.
I work for the Missouri Soil and Water Conservation Program for the Cooperative Soil Survey. By Day.
By Night A Soil Scientist private consultant. I look at a persons soil and tell them what kind of Septic System they need. So you can say if people did not have to poop I would not have much of a carrer. My buisness is going down the drain LOL I'm a member of the Poopstopo. You can't poop here. LOL
OK enough for the puns.
But also my job as a soil scientist has made me become a GIS expert with ESRI and Manifold. So I am becoming a computer geek also.
My hobbies are Star Wars and Jeeps.
I have a 98 Jeep TJ with 5" of lift 33" tires, detroit locker in rear lock rite in front, 4.88 gears, heavy duty skid plating. Ready to rock with 4 mad squirels under the hood.
And when I get a chance I will start my Mandalorian suit.
For the past two years my job was catching shop lifters for a large retail company. I had a lot of fun doing this for a living, but eventually got a little burned out. Any apprehensions I made under $500 got to be boring. I started looking for something more rewarding... and I found it.
I am now a police officer in Sedalia, Missouri. I got the call that I had been accepted December 16th. I start at the Academy on January 5th. I am very excited and can't wait to get started in my new career. I know a lot of Fett-aholics are in law enforcement, and I only have one question: how do I convince the department to add jet packs and/or gauntlets to the uniform?
Woo Hoo!!!! I'm a cop!!!
I'm an accountant. I was working for a school until I "blew a whistle" on some questionable spending and they fired me. Now I'm doing contract work and consulting jobs as they come up.

I was once at the journeyman protector...er um...journeyman carpenter level many years back. I have long since exceeded that station

If I'm allowed a shameless plug, please take a look at www.serversnap.com when you need quality domain registration and/or managed web hosting services at a competitive price.

How few features does the iPhone 5 have if Apple have to run this Ad?
This truly made me laugh when it popped up on the TV a few minutes ago. This has been the standard in phones now for maybe 3 years? ...blimey |
0 |
Dec 4, 2012, 07:49 PM | #2 |
However, to the average person, they'll think the iPhone is the only phone that has this feature because of this commercial.
Jailbroken iPhone 3G -> Jailbroken iPhone 4 -> iPhone 5 -> Galaxy Note II -> Nexus 5 |

Dec 4, 2012, 07:54 PM | #3 |
This is true
My flatmate actually commented "well actually that is a feature I'd like to have" ...he's got a Galaxy S3 I felt like whacking a chair round his head |

Dec 5, 2012, 02:09 AM | #4 |
LOL, I saw this commercial the other night and found it so outrageous that I found myself yelling "All phones have that these days" at the TV. That's a rather crazy thing to be advertising.

I never claimed to be a marketing expert. I understand apple are trying to fool people into thinking this is a somewhat unique feature but anyone on here must have some interest in technology so would be able to see this advert for what it is.
blimey why do I need to defend myself |

Dec 5, 2012, 06:49 AM | #8 |
Perhaps their marketing people have been looking at forums in which people were whining that they didn't like that hole in the back so they decided to do a commercial that showed a feature while explaining why that hole is there. Or even better, maybe they just noticed that no other company has really advertised that feature so they decided to do it first. I personally like the commercial, at least they focused on showcasing their product rather than bashing other products and those that use them
0 |
Dec 5, 2012, 06:52 AM | #9 |
That may be true, but has any other manufacturer taken the trouble to explain it so stylishly to the masses? Or do they just plaster their product boxes with unintelligible acronyms and hope we'll figure it out ourselves?
When the world zigs, zag |

Dec 5, 2012, 07:15 AM | #10 |
Same goes for the Panorama advert. The thing is, Apple makes very simple, effective ads and if nobody else shouts about a feature in their own phone, Apple will clear up.
Hats off to their marketing team I say! |

And just the other day I saw an ad for a car where they said it "handled" good. Cars have had steering and suspension for over a century now!
And can you believe that restaurants advertise that their food "tastes good" when humans have been tasting good things for over 100,000 years now? And why do they even advertise toilet paper? We all know what it is, duh. When will marketers learn that only completely new features should ever be mentioned in ads?? Ridiculous! |

I'm amazed that people A) pay attention to commercials and B) get worked up about them. To each their own I guess.

Holy Sapphire
Dynaudio actually had a "production prototype" of its $16,500 Sapphire 30 30th anniversary loudspeaker at CEDIA, seen here photographed by Kal Rubinson. All of the drivers are "Evidence-grade," Michael Manoussellis told us. The drivers are Dynaudio's 1.1" (28mm) soft-dome tweeter, 5.5" (15cm) MSP-cone midrange, and two 8" MSP-cone woofers. The cabinet is faceted, hence the jewel reference. It's pretty dramatic looking. Now we're slavering to hear it.

March 12, 2014
COLUMBIA, Mo. – The series finale between the fifth-ranked (ESPN.com) Texas A&M softball team and No. 5 (NFCA) Missouri, originally set for noon today, has been cancelled due to rain in the area.
The Aggies and Tigers split games on Friday and Saturday, and today's rubber match would have determined a series victor. Missouri took game one, 2-0, on a two-run walk-off home run. A&M came back with a vengeance in game two, run-ruling the Tigers 11-3 in six innings on four home runs, including a third grand slam of the season by junior Nicole Morgan.
A&M (23-2) will host Arkansas next weekend in a three-game Southeastern Conference series at the Aggie Softball Complex. The Aggies and Razorbacks will play at 7 p.m. Friday, 4 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday. All times are Central. To learn more about Texas A&M softball, log on to AggieAthletics.com and follow @AggieSoftball on Twitter.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Flu, Weather Blamed for Drop in Blood Donations
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Officials say a bad flu season and other factors are to blame for a drop in blood donations that has left supplies at dangerously low levels.
Nicole Hanger, of LifeServe Blood Center, says donations started to drop about four weeks ago when a big winter storm hit. Then more people came down with the flu and donations remained low. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports (http://bit.ly/WXEfMr ) that the blood center likes to have a three- to five-day supply, but that's now down to a one- or two-day supply. LifeServe provides blood to hospitals in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. The center is calling donors and sending out emails to spur donations.

Colitis Follow-upFor most individuals, infectious colitis is an isolated event, and once the symptoms and infection have cleared, no further care is needed. For those with inflammatory bowel disease, the goal becomes symptom control instead of disease cure, since symptoms can occur over the course of a lifetime. Once the initial diagnosis is made, continued care with a primary care doctor and a gastroenterologist will be necessary. A long-term relationship with this treatment team may be able to lessen the frequency and intensity of future disease flare-ups. Ischemic bowel disease does not happen in isolation, and a person that has poor circulation to the bowel likely has poor circulation elsewhere. Continued monitoring may be necessary to minimize the risk of future episodes. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Colitis

Bills should keep public in the know
Open meetings and open records laws tend to be the province of journalists and public-interest organizations, and proposals to change them rarely inspire much popular reaction, spirited or otherwise.
Legislature on solid, safe path
There's nothing quite like an election year to motivate politicians to get to work. So it's reassuring, although not unexpected, to see Hawaii lawmakers make real progress on important issues that were flummoxing them this time last year.
Caldwell's budget worth considering
Honolulu is on the cusp of enormous changes, and the current budget cycle at Honolulu Hale includes several decision points that could drive the city in one direction or another.
Hawaii Bar ratings should be transparent
The Hawaii State Bar Association deemed Circuit Judge Michael Wilson unqualified for the state Supreme Court, but the greater taint has fallen on the legal group.
DHHL betraying its lessees
There are legitimate problems that have impeded the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands in delivering on promises to its most pioneering agricultural and ranching homesteaders.
Court reforms must start small
Lawmakers are on the right general track with a proposal to bring greater consistency to the handling of environmental disputes. But while a full-scale environmental court may prove to be the final solution, creating one now is not the way to start the process.
Don't overbuild Blaisdell complex
A quick glance at an aerial photo of the neighborhood makes it obvious that the revitalized "cultural corridor" that Mayor Kirk Caldwell envisions for urban Honolulu is no pie-in-the-sky idea.
PUC policy should favor consumers
The Public Utilities Commission, always in a position to affect consumers, has in recent years seemed more attuned to the first word of its name. The public interest in proposals for utility initiatives and rates has figured prominently in some of its recent decisions.
Limit discretion in judicial secrecy
Justice is best served in sunlight. So while we are delighted that court records related to federal agent Christopher Deedy's murder trial were finally released last week, the fact is the proceeding never should have been closed to the public in the first place.
Don't spend state funds on Connector
The Hawaii Health Connector website was launched — if that term can even be used for what happened — on the official Oct. 1 start date amid criticism that the online insurance marketplace was hopelessly botched, from the technical standpoint.
Increased fees on developers are reasonable
For more than a decade, the city has not increased fees for a raft of land-use services involving permitting and paperwork. But now, with a massive development wave surging through Oahu, the time is ripe for the city Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) to enact modest increases in processing fees to handle the growing workload for a variety of large-scale land-use applications.
Military draw-down long overdue
Indications from the Pentagon that military spending will be significantly curtailed should be treated as a heads-up to Hawaii's congressional delegation but need not set off a panicked response, given the current national defense posture toward Asia and the Pacific.
Mayor's priorities a sign of progress
Mayor Kirk Caldwell has sharpened his pencil and scratched out a good amount of waste from the city budget, an encouraging start to a fiscal planning season that, in the wake of some rough developments, had threatened to be a tough slog.
HSTA can learn from students
The Hawaii State Teachers Association should have more faith in the public-school students its members are charged with educating.
Troubled youth need treatment, not a prison bed
Devoting more state resources to substance-abuse and mental-health treatment for Hawaii's most troubled children is an investment in public safety. Effective, early intervention in these young lives is a much better alternative than locking up nonviolent youthful offenders.
UH regents right to OK telescope
Mauna Kea is the world's window to the universe. The mountain on the island of Hawaii is an unparalleled place for astronomy, home to 13 observatories employing scientists from 11 countries.
Don't scuttle wage hike over tip-credit issue
Proposals to raise the minimum hourly wage for workers in this state ran aground last legislative session on the issue of the tip credit. It's a significant matter in a service economy like Hawaii's, where so many people at the lower end of the income scale work at hospitality and restaurant jobs in which the tip is an important chunk of the pay packet.
Niihau waters should be state responsibility
Many facets of Niihau life are unique, not the least of which is the dominance of the Hawaiian language and the residents who have sustained much of the old Hawaiian culture.
Ban smoking at all UH campuses
Across the country, about 1,200 colleges and universities prohibit smoking indoors and outdoors on campus, according to the American Nonsmokers' Rights Foundation.
Strip Hanohano of chairmanship
The directive sits right up there at the top of the page, just under the heading, "Code of Legislative Conduct," part of the rules the state House of Representative set for itself.
Put brakes on plate readers
The Honolulu Police Department should stop using automated license plate readers, which gather vast amounts of data on innocent people, until it has sufficiently explained how this intrusive technology will improve public safety and has developed stringent policies to prevent abuse.
Protect highway, improve access to shoreline
Lawmakers have seized an opportunity to deal with the North Shore erosion problem in a way that makes sense: by pairing the goals of protecting the highway and improving public use of the shoreline.
Trash pickup fee could make sense
Oahu residents already pay something for garbage pickup, financed, like most city services, through the collection of property taxes. But the reliable and convenient curbside service costs more than taxpayers are shelling out, the city government contends, so it has proposed a surcharge.
HCDA need to find balance
When the Legislature created the Hawaii Community Development Authority in 1976, leaders agreed that the redevelopment of an urban district with aging buildings and infrastructure deserved the focus of a separate agency.
Make it easier to seek office
The intent of Hawaii's public campaign finance options was to limit the influence of private money in the elections process, an ideal that's still valid today. But competing with well-heeled competitors was tough, and it's been all but abandoned as an option, especially in the current era of super-PACs.
Preserve open government
The bedrock importance of open government is articulated eloquently in our Hawaii Revised Statutes — in part one of Chapter 92, the Sunshine Law that requires open public meetings, and again in Chapter 92F, the Uniform Information Practices Act.
Use LNG to ease ratepayer costs
Ongoing talks about a shared military-civilian operation to import liquefied natural gas sound promising, as long as the anticipated economic benefits are broadly shared.
Be willing to refine Pono Choices
The state Department of Education should seriously consider the complaints of parents who say that a sex-education curriculum being piloted in Hawaii public schools is too explicit for 11-year-olds and downplays the health risks of certain sexual acts.
Tell public about fuel leak repairs
Multiple fuel leaks over the decades have occurred in giant Navy tank facilities that are underground. Much more information about this system belongs up here at the surface of the civilian world, where the broader environmental impacts of the leaks must be discussed more openly.
Waterfront park needs 'active uses'
A happy side effect of the Hawaii Community Development Authority's push to create a master plan for more "active use" of the Kakaako Waterfront Park is that it forestalls a dubious proposal for a commercial light display on a chunk of the park.
Crunch time for rail is fast approaching
The sound of Oahu gearing up for its largest public works project, for years a distant rumble, is growing louder in 2014. This will be a make-or-break year for the $5.26 billion elevated rail project, for a few reasons.
Obama should select Hawaii
There are two main contenders to host Barack Obama's presidential library and museum. Our preferred location, of course, is Honolulu, the place of Obama's birth and his formative years. The other is Chicago, where he began his political career.
Reject DHHL's bid for secrecy
An arrogant disregard for government integrity and the public trust is on full display in House Bill 2287, through which the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands seeks to conceal vital information about its operations.
Protect ratepayers as HECO evolves
Everyone can do the math — a simplified form of it, anyway — and see that the numbers don't add up under the current arrangement. Hawaiian Electric Co. and its subsidiaries are racking up reduced sales as customers with the means to do so have bought photovoltaic solar panels to generate their own electricity.
Increase pay for schools chief
By almost any comparative measure used to evaluate fair compensation, Hawaii's superintendent of schools is vastly underpaid. That's what should propel House Bill 2257 and the companion measure set for a hearing Friday, Senate Bill 2806, through to an easy passage at the state Capitol.
Lift secrecy veil on child-abuse proceedings
A growing number of states are lifting the veil on child-abuse cases, recognizing that the court secrecy intended to protect young victims also shields child-welfare systems from public scrutiny and potential reform. Hawaii lawmakers have the opportunity to advance this important cause via Senate Bill 2002, which balances the importance of preserving confidentiality in some cases with the need for greater disclosure overall.
Think creatively for cooler schools
It's February. It's cool, downright chilly, some mornings. Maybe that's the problem with the perennial legislative debate over the need for air conditioning in Hawaii's public schools: It always occurs in winter.
Don't throw out HCDA baby with bathwater
Kakaako redevelopment, for decades a topic that primarily inhabited blueprints and board- rooms, is now very real to many more people than ever before, and many are unhappy.
Let UH officials pursue repairs
Oversight is one thing -- but overkill, quite another. When it comes to long-overdue repairs at University of Hawaii facilities -- a $487 million backlog across 10 campuses -- exasperation is understandable.
Spike OHA's Kakaako proposal
Consider how passionately Honolulu residents have defended Kakaako Makai as a public asset to be managed carefully. With that memory as a backdrop, the proposal to allow residential development on waterfront parcels the state Office of Hawaiian Affairs owns stands as an appalling idea.
Change how we handle runaways
The incident at Roosevelt High School on Tuesday, a frightening episode that ended when police shot a knife-wielding teen, generated headlines nationally. It also should spark a discussion locally about how Hawaii uses law enforcement and social services to solve problems with truant and runaway teens.
Obama's pen won't be enough
On the one hand, he has more than 1,000 days left in his presidency, which one would think would be enough time to put forth and accomplish a reasonable agenda. On the other, the nation is heading into a midterm election season, which means there are considerable political headwinds to impede progress.
UH would benefit from president with local roots
The University of Hawaii Board of Regents went on what these days is called a "listening tour" around the islands, tapping public opinion on how it should proceed in selecting a new UH president. What it reportedly heard from that taxpaying public was that surely there were a few suitable candidates for that Bachman Hall office within these shores.
Keep cigarettes off all our beaches
Hawaii's beaches rank high on the list of the state's finest assets, which is why community leaders here are right to rail against treating them like ashtrays. Smoking represents a threat to public health and, when cigarette refuse is lapped up in the waves, a poison for marine life.
'Bill of Rights' for homeless a distraction
State lawmakers should swiftly shelve HB 1889, commonly known as the "Homeless Person's Bill of Rights," lest this measure divert attention from far more significant bills that would spur concrete action to help homeless people into transitional or affordable housing and educational and job-training programs.
Incentivize car sharing
Car sharing hasn't taken off here the way it has in cities such as Portland and Seattle, and one of the reasons is cost — the state can charge a $3-a-day surcharge every time the car changes hands.
Heed findings of Medicaid audit
Medicaid must be accessible to the primarily low-income groups that it serves, but this program, like any other government service distributing public funds, needs careful oversight as well.
Much goes into a proper parklet
Setting a few tables and chairs atop Astroturf on a small stretch of street where cars used to be doesn't strike us as particularly park-like, but that's what passed for a "parklet" in at least one U.S. city.
Governor paving populist path
Gov. Neil Abercrombie is turning a page in his agenda, as outlined in Tuesday's State of the State address, with particular attention being given to his constituents at either end of the age spectrum.
Assure openness of judiciary picks
Gov. Neil Abercrombie is too secretive about appointing state judges — far less open than were his immediate predecessors, Linda Lingle, a Republican, and Ben Cayetano, like Abercrombie, a Democrat. Although today's Judicial Selection Commission that advises the governor has acted within its own authority to inject sunshine into the process of filling these influential posts, the Legislature should go even further to protect the public's right to know.
Don't give mayors authority over GET
All four Hawaii mayors made an appearance before the Legislature last week in what has become a nearly annual pilgrimage. The aim: to convince state lawmakers that the counties provide more services than their current share of the state's tax revenues can cover.
Homelessness needs to be dealt with now
Hawaii can no longer wait before accelerating its outreach to the homeless. Leadership in the state Legislature as well as Honolulu Hale must act immediately to implement an aggressive, comprehensive campaign giving the homeless options other than life on the streets.
A growing student body looking for a campus
The Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaii at Hilo has more than 360 students enrolled in its various programs, most of them seeking a PharmD, which is the doctoral degree in pharmaceutical sciences.
Obama should go much further with NSA reform
President Barack Obama's limited proposal to rein in the National Security Agency disappointed many civil libertarians and left some security advocates skeptical and even confused. This reaction is unsurprising given the president's calculated approach, which strained to achieve a middle ground.
Fund fight against alien pests
Amid the opening of the new legislative session are calls for state funding for a variety of worthy initiatives. The poor economy of the past few years has meant flat or reduced funding for many programs, and today's brighter prospects have most departments hoping that vital services can be restored or expanded.
Don't water down teacher evaluations
After all the wrangling and public debate it took to strengthen the accountability of public school faculty for their students' achievement, it would be a waste to now step away from that commitment to high-quality teacher job evaluations.
Be a part of shaping Hawaii's future
Coming off the fractious special session that legalized same-sex marriage and heading into the 2014 mid-term elections, state lawmakers may have less than their usual appetite for controversial issues.
Keep tech center at Manoa for now
Unless the Legislature reconvening Wednesday does something to prevent it, Oahu's first and only innovation and business incubation facility likely will soon find itself homeless, and for no good reason.
East-West Center must prove itself
The East-West Center needs to raise its public profile. That happened recently, but not in the way anyone would have hoped. A week ago a noted energy expert, Fereidun Fesharaki, resigned from the center along with three of his colleagues.
State must take lead in GMO debate
That a Big Island councilwoman would seek to revive a bill banning all genetically modified crops on Hawaii island, even though strict limits on such agriculture were approved only a month ago under another bill, indicates just how emboldened biotechnology foes have become in their quest to control Hawaii farmers.
Carbone deal suffices for now
The University of Hawaii has implemented a complex — and costly — plan for solving the current upheaval at the UH Cancer Center through an organizational restructuring that carves up the powers of its embattled director, Dr. Michele Carbone.
Contain cost of hosting military
As the drumbeat intensifies, it's hard not to rally to the cause and fight for Hawaii's portion of the military-industrial complex, estimated at $8.8 billion yearly in expenditures to the islands.
City, bidder owe community a deal
The benefits from the sale of the city-run affordable housing complexes are clear: It would maintain a critical stock of housing units for low-income renters for the long term, while ending the city's deficit from running them. And it would provide additional funds for homeless housing support and other city needs.
Toughen child sex-trafficking laws
If a child runs away from home, within 48 hours on the street that minor will be recruited or coerced into prostitution, according to the FBI. The vast majority of these victims are girls, who can end up in situations far worse than the dysfunctional homes they fled.
Better batteries will boost PV use
The destination is easy to envision — a future Hawaii that is much less reliant on imported fossil fuels for its energy. The pathway leading there, a little less so.
Refresh Waikiki but don't ruin it
Old-timers are more right than they know in lamenting the International Market Place's closure, in the heart of Waikiki, as the end of an era. One of the very last remnants of another time in our Honolulu, the IMP had withstood a quarter-century of shutdown threats but finally succumbed last week — the first step toward creation of a new high-luxe epicenter in Waikiki.
Let's be clear about limits of drone use
The drones are coming. After 10 years of war in which drones have deployed with many civilian casualties beyond the attack target, the technology has a tarnished image, to say the least.
Dietary aids need oversight
It's no coincidence that all manner of advertisements promising quick ways to lose weight and get fit proliferate this time of year. More than a few individuals devote their annual resolutions to physical self-improvement.
Protect the view from the road
"Lucky we live Hawaii" is the phrase that comes to mind whenever residents take a moment to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. On Oahu, those occasions come along too infrequently.
Don't normalize homelessness
Life on the streets is not a life as most of us know it. Lately it's been plain that homelessness, in addition to being the cause of deteriorating hopes and prospects, can be a death trap.
Resolve to be a hero in 2014
The first of the year is traditionally an occasion for optimism about the possibilities that await. Notwithstanding the short shelf life of typical New Year's resolutions, there's something compelling about the clean slate that 2014 presents today.
A pivotal year draws to a close
Hawaii approaches the end of a year that most would feel hard-pressed to describe as a high-water mark for the state.
Hotel sale holds promise for Hilo
A jewel that's been diminished in recent years, the troubled Hilo Naniloa Hotel now has a new lease on life, quite literally, with much potential for the property and for the economic vitality of nearby communities in East Hawaii.
Green power is goal but at sensible cost
Hawaii energy consumers have the state Public Utilities Commission to thank for keeping an eye on electricity ratepayers' bottom line and withholding approval of a biofuels contract.
Beach barrier good for now but not in long-term
Nobody should consider the barriers rimming the highway near Laniakea Beach a permanent solution to the clash of public activities -- driving and beachgoing -- that has tied up North Shore traffic.
Give fewer stadium seats a try
Nothing would fill the seats at Aloha Stadium like a winning University of Hawaii football team. Absent that, the University of Hawaii Athletics Department is left to experiment with ways to boost attendance — or at least create the impression that there are more fans on the premises.
Let hunters catch Hoomaluhia pigs
It was completely predictable that feral pigs wreaking havoc at Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden in Kaneohe would do even more damage once the city stopped culling the animals.
New hope for peace on earth
Christmas is a special time of year, whatever the impulse for marking the season. For Christians, of course, it is a joyful observance each year celebrating the birth of Jesus, the event that their faith tells them is the ultimate cause for hope.
HART oversight must be tougher
Recent updates about Oahu's rail project make it increasingly difficult to ignore unease about money handling for the $5.26 billion project now underway.
Turtle Bay deal looks promising
We sure hope that Turtle Bay Resort is bluffing with its claim that $40 million isn't enough for a conservation easement that would protect Kawela Bay and Kahuku Point from being overrun by development.
Connector needs major restructuring
It was intended to be the grand unveiling of the new online platform for buying the products of health care reform -- new insurance policies -- but 2013 hasn't played out as planned
Charter schools worthy but need better oversight
There's a danger emanating from this week's raid on one particularly troubled public charter school, one that goes beyond the impacts on the particular institution, the Myron B. Thompson Academy.
Obama should rein in the NSA
The right to privacy is essential to a free, self-governing society. Excessive surveillance and unjustified secrecy threaten civil liberties and the public trust, undermining the foundation of American democracy and the very vitality of the United States.
Rich housing risks easing out locals
It was more than a touch ironic that the kamaaina real-estate developers who are building a second opulent condominium complex at Ala Moana Center announced the same week that their retail arm is shutting down all eight Price Busters stores elsewhere on Oahu, throwing nearly 200 people out of work after the holidays. Clearly, the profits are in luxury goods, not discount ones.
Juvenile justice needs reform
The language is dry and bureaucratic, yet the core message in a new report on juvenile justice comes through with devastating clarity: Hawaii is failing to rehabilitate most offenders because it uses the wrong approach, relying on expensive incarceration even for those convicted of misdemeanors and failing to provide timely access to the drug and mental-health treatment these troubled youths desperately need.
Resolve dispute at Cancer Center
The upheaval among unhappy faculty members at the University of Hawaii Cancer Center over the management style of its director may be an internal problem at this point, but without a prompt move toward resolution it may explode into something far more wide-reaching and worse than that.
Tourism agency taking too long to fix deficiencies
A critical state audit renews troubling questions about the Hawaii Tourism Authority's stewardship of taxpayers' money.
City bus ads: Plus or minus?
Christine Donnelly
Honolulu commuters may be in for a bumpy ride if the City Council goes ahead with Mayor Kirk Caldwell's plan to sell advertising on the exterior of municipal buses.
Public needs to give input on Kakaako waterfront
Even with all the beautiful entry points into the islands, the port of Honolulu might be described as Hawaii's front door. As such, residents hope it will become an inviting, active and welcoming place.
Outdoor ads common elsewhere, but Hawaii is anti-blight model
Christine Donnelly
Laws limiting outdoor advertising are designed to protect what the 9th U.S. Circuit Court described "as perhaps the state's most valuable and fragile economic asset — the natural beauty upon which Hawaii's tourism economy relies."
Talk now, avoid court later over Hanalei project
On paper, it hardly looks like a fair fight: A loose coalition of surfers, Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners and other conservationists versus one of the richest men in the world. We've learned, however, never to underestimate the grass roots on Kauai. Remember the Superferry?
Keep budget on stringent course
It is a relief to see that — so far, at least — none of Hawaii's politicos are pulling out the hats and horns to celebrate an anticipated $844 million budget surplus in the run-up to the 2014 legislative session.
Health in Hawaii has strong basis
Sometimes we in the Aloha State need to give some of that aloha back to ourselves. This week presents a good occasion for a feel-good group hug about the simple fact that we feel good.
Keep going on city housing sale
The City Council leadership has proposed a nuclear option to resolve what should be negotiable differences over how money from the sale of city rental properties will be spent.
Coordinate action on invasive plants
Strenuous, expensive attempts to keep invasive plants from gaining ground in Hawaii could be much more successful if the federal government would live up to its obligation to coordinate efforts to combat damaging alien species.
Internet sales should be taxed
Local stores normally expect to take a hit on Cyber Monday, that increasingly popular post-Thanksgiving event when consumers head for their computers rather than the mall to do their holiday shopping. On this year's Cyber Monday, however, local retailers had a reason to cheer.
Wetlands in Waikiki
Vicki Viotti
Climate change, and the rise in sea levels that are a key feature, are processes that move at a glacial pace, so to speak. But some would say government policymaking — including the planning for ways to adapt to all this extra water on the land — moves just as slowly.
One foot at a time: Taking measures of rising seas
Vicki Viotti
The School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii has an extensive section of its website devoted to the issue of rising sea levels (http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/coasts/sealevel/).
Advertising on city buses a slippery slope
"Hawaii is unique for having a long history of banning billboards. Let's keep it that way. The City Council's decision to not allow advertising on the outside of city buses was a vote in support of Honolulu's and Hawaii's cutting-edge laws banning billboards from our state."
Ohana spirit rises during annual race
On Sunday, as it has done for decades, the Honolulu Mara-thon and its thousands of runners will take over streets stretching from downtown, through Waikiki, down to Hawaii Kai.

I grew up in a very small town in Northern California, 15 miles south of the Oregon border. My dad and his dad before him were government trappers (coyotes, badgers, etc) working to protect the livestock owned by local ranchers. With this background I was standing up and voicing my outrage at the teacher's lack of accurate knowledge on the subject of wildlife back in high school.
I worked in the same small community where I grew up, on my brother-in-law's ranch for 9 years before meeting my husband, Michael E. Smith, and moving on with my life. We lived in Tacoma, WA for 3 years during which I was working in Auto Body as a paint technician. We moved back to California and started our family. Mike worked out of town quite a bit logging and my evenings were spent watching shows like 60 minutes that made my blood boil. I started writing letters to my Senators, my governor and my President. During this time I was calling DC and writing letters to the editor.
Our son was just starting 2 grade and our daughter 1st when we pulled them out of school and I home schooled them until high school. They're now in their early 20's and stand up for what they believe. The four of us attended our first political rally in Nov. 2000 as a direct response to the hanging chad debacle. Mike and I joined our local Tea Party almost 3 years ago. Mike has been writing and recording conservative music for a few years and I produce the videos.
I've now been working in Special Ed. for 8 1/2 years as a 1 on 1 aide. We mostly have autistic children, but kids with behavior problems are placed with us as the general ed teachers won't put up with them.

We live in a Society of Blame; the Republicans, the Tea Party, the evil rich, and the evil corporations. Corporations provide jobs for Americans, and yes, the CEO's make an insane amount of money.
