Heating assistance available
The Block Island Senior Advisory Committee wants island residents to be aware that heating assistance is available for eligible persons — homeowners or renters.
The South County Community Action Agency (SCCAA), based in Wakefield, sponsors the program to provide "grants to reduce home heating costs for oil, natural gas, electric, propane, wood, kerosene and coal to income-eligible families even if heat is included in your rent."
The eligible income level guidelines for 2012-2013 are: for a single individual, $27,482; for a two-person household, $35,938; for three people, $44,394, and for four persons, $52,850. Larger households are eligible as well, including up to 10 persons with a total income of $76,104.
Households may also take advantage of other SCCAA programs, including one to examine electrical usage in the home (through a computerized audit) to determine whether light bulbs or refrigerators need to be replaced.
A weatherization program offers energy audits to evaluate the need for insulation, weather stripping and pipe sealer. There is also a program that offers boiler repairs or replacement if heating systems cannot be repaired.
Applications are available at Town Hall. The forms indicate an October deadline, which is incorrect. Applications must be presented at one of two SCCAA offices — either at 1935 Kingstown Road, Wakefield, or at the Westerly office at 34 Pond Street. Those interested should call 789-30166 extension 337.
Applicants must provide income documentation for the previous four weeks, current electric and heating bills, Social Security Cards and birth certificates for all household members, and photo ID. If renting, bring a copy of the lease or rental agreement; if a homeowner, proof of ownership and proof of residence (i.e., a current utility bill).
For additional information, contact Senior Coordinator Kathleen Mitchell at 466-5419 or at seniorcoordinator@new_shoreham.com.

Mr. Mayor, Please Don't Translate Government Documents Into Russian
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio recently kicked off Russian Heritage Month by proclaiming that, "it's about time government and municipal agency forms and documents be translated into Russian." He added that NYC is the ultimate city of immigrants and that Russian immigrants keep the city strong.
When my family and I emigrated from the Soviet Union in 1977, I was 7 years old and didn't speak a word of English. No, that's not true. I knew two words: "apple," because it was on the first page of my English alphabet book, and "the," because, for the life of me, no one could explain what it meant. And no one around me could pronounce it correctly.
In 1977, it was believed that the best way to learn a new language was through complete immersion. I was put into second grade, into a class where I was the only kid who spoke Russian. (I was one of just two Russian-speaking students in the entire school.) Read the rest of this entry →

all web hosts are the same. they take your money. throw as many sites as they can on their server. and walk away. the only way to get any respect is to pay through the nose for managed hosting services or to go it alone with a dedicated box and struggle with complex systems issues and clunky control panels.
hosted by xentek is different.
why bother with the murky details when you can trust your web site hosting to the pros? our personalized plans are tailored to meet your needs, and expertly managed by a small caring team of server ninjas so you can concentrate on the real business at hand.
that's what we're about.
hosted by xentek grew out of our development work for our clients. most of them were new to the web site game, and needed reliable, secure and inexpensive hosting. shared hosting rarely cut the mustard and, since they required optimized and properly configured servers with enough horsepower to serve their growing traffic, they would turn to us.
sure we could of sent them to one of the other guys and let them fend for themselves, but we knew what it was like out there. support personal they couldn't reach. clunky control panels they couldn't figure out. and value plans that didn't add up. we decided to change all that.
the devil's in the details after all.
over the years we have developed a rock solid platform and a level of support unheard of in the hosting business:
→ Multiple Layers of Redundant Backups
→ Virtual Servers that can be relocated in minutes (if the underlying hardware goes bad)
→ More ram and bandwidth than you can consume
→ Web Development, Consulting and Server Configuration hours included in every plan—for free
→ Finely tuned systems running 60% or below capacity so they can hum along for ages without issue.
all this technology at a price you can afford.
all of our plans can be personalized to fit your needs, and scaled to meet demand.

at hosted by xentek, we pride ourselves on building the most secure, reliable and scalable system we can. here's a glimpse at our secret sauce:

Lee Smith
(Creator/Artist -
Ohio Chronicles
Lee Smith was born in Miami, Florida a half century ago. He was transported, against his will, to Southeastern Ohio as a child. From the foothills of Appalachia and without the aid of Kubert Schools Cartooning Correspondence Courses (CCC), he still created comics. In 1985, realizing there were few marketing avenues available for comic books in Southeast Ohio, Lee Smith changed majors and became an elementary school teacher. After 20+ years of teaching he realized three things: 1.) Comic books (and graphic novels) could be used to teach children. 2.) Lee Smith could draw and write such comic books. 3.) Writing about oneself in the third person seems incredibly arrogant. He returned to creating comic books in April 2011 and has created Ohio Chronicles, the first comic book anthology depicting Ohio History.

I feel this way as well. I had an emergency C section after 3 hours of pushing only to realize LO's head would not fit through my pelvic bones and it would be dangerous to try with forceps (for fear of his collarbone breaking). I had a pretty traumatic C section as his head was stuck in my pelvis and ended up gatting several tears in my uterus.
Now I will never be able to have a vaginal birth as my uterus is too scarred. It is depressing everytime I think about it and I am tearing up even typing this! I feel like I let myself down
As someone who tried for a VBAC and failed I sort of wish I had been told from the get-go that a VBAC wouldn't work for me. Then I wouldn't have been disappointed over the failed VBAC.
I think that csections can be hard on a lot of us as we lose a lot of the control and the experience of giving birth that we were planning on for so long. I will say even though I had a lot of complications during surgery, the csection recovery this time has been easier mentally and physically.

Why Did Lander Hero Fail?
In fall 2011 I released Lander Hero and it failed miserably in the App Store. I did the following promotion and marketing:
- I contacted about 50 major iOS related sites and got a nice preview here at TA and a review at PocketGamer.
- I spent around $500 on banner ads
- I had a trailer and a good promo pics I think
The sales were really really sad ($3 price)
- Launch day: 37 downloads
- After two weeks I was getting 1 or 2 downloads a day
However, most people really like the game and it has a 4+ rating. Personally I think I failed because:
- I released it just before Infinity Blade 2
- It was iPad only and I released it recently after iPhone 4
- The file size was huge 380MB
- It didn't have your typical cartoony vector artwork
- It was probably little too difficult for casual gamers
Later I added iPhone support, fixed all bugs, made it easier, tried free promotions, released free IAP version with smaller file size(170MB). Nothing helped, at all. So my question to you, fellow developers, is: Why did I fail so bad? Was there anything I could have done to save the game?
I am asking now because I'm releasing my next serious game(Zen Sand) soon and I really want to avoid making the same mistakes again. So my other question is: What can I do to make Zen Sand a success? I don't have big marketing budget, but I could use around 2k to marketing if I had to, but would it make any sense?
Also you are more than welcome to participate in the beta testing to get better sense of the game and help me out. (See the Zen Sand link for more info). I could really use some advice.
As I haven't released my first game yet, this will be from my gamer perspective. I think it looks alright, maybe a bit on the stiff side. But other than that, I just don't think that game mechanic is fun anymore. I think Lunar Lander was cool back in the days and I have some nostalgia toward it, but game mechanics have moved on since then and so have I. I could be wrong but that's how I see it.
Thanks for your input. It's a very interesting point. There were several lunar landing games already on the App Store and I think some of them did ok. Maybe I was just late...
$3 is a difficult price point for an arcade game without a big name licence. But at least it does offer some room for manoeuvre. Rather than making it free for a limited time, dropping the price to $0.99 for a while should be enough to trigger the price tracking websites to list it.
I used to sell ShootStorm at $1.99 when I launched it a couple of years ago. That price was possible then, but not now. I did find a boost in the days following a drop to $0.99, but outside of that I was selling better at $1.99. That changed over time though as even $0.99 became a hard sell.
2) iPad only at launch. These kinds of games are appealing as time-killers; you need to be able to play them easily on the go.
3) Competitive landscape. It's not just that there are many cave flyers out there: there are several high-quality, story driven, highly polished titles that have essentially the same gameplay.
There is no way to guarantee success in the App Store. But marketing missteps such as the ones above will most likely doom any title, no matter how good it is. Unfortunately, a lot of the marketing work for the next title should have happened before you wrote a single line of code. At this point, I would recommend that you catch up as much as possible by researching the market, doing some focus testing (to find out what's the unique feature that will distinguish the game from the competition--it's likely not what you originally thought it would be), and making a realistic assessment of what your chances are with this particular title.
Good luck!
Why is this casual game a 380MB download?
Not a technical question but a marketing one. Your prospective impulse buyer might first experience sticker shock at the $3 selling price and for those who are still interested, a 380MB download that might still expand once installed. There is a storage issue banging its head against the need to keep more music on iPhone.
Thanks guys for your insight. I really appreciate it! Lander Hero has a huge file size because all 50 levels have unique cave graphics. I probably should have reused a lot of the graphics, but I just wanted to make them all totally unique. I didn't even think about the file size back then. There is a free version with 10 unique levels that is under 50MB.
If Lander Hero was Freemium or free with ads you would have made a lot more from it in my opinion. Maybe you should consider one of those models for the new game
Last edited by HeliApps; 02-24-2013 at 06:10 AM..
Thanks HeliApps! Actually, I later tried and released a separate freemium version with reduced file size(still 170MB), but the sales were even lower. I did some marketing for that as well.
I have thought about these two pricing models for the new game Zen Sand:
(there are 4 level packs with 20 levels in each)
1. Free with one level pack(is 20 levels too much?) and $2 IAP for the rest three level packs
2. $1 game with two level packs unlocked and $1 IAP for the rest
What do you think? Which one is better?

Apple iPad mini 2 aluminum shell leaks in high-res photoshoot, forgets it has nothing new to show
The rear housing looks virtually the same and we're looking at an iPad mini with cellular connectivity here as you have the top of the rear shell of the device covered with a strip plastic, a feature designed to allow better signal throughput.
Speaking of unchanged design, we are not seeing anything new. The separate volume buttons, the rear camera location, the stereo speakers on the bottom and the new Lightning port are all where they were in the original iPad mini.
The leak looks credible and we don't expect Apple to change the design of the new iPad mini this year. There should be other important changes, though. With Google upping the ante with the affordable Nexus 7 offering a stunning high-res display, Apple is now basically forced to put a 'Retina' display in the iPad mini as it just won't look competitive, so that's one huge improvement we expect to see. The usual hardware upgrade should also be there. What else do you expect of the 2013 iPad mini?

I almost forgot that Phonearena makes you guys read the iPhone/Ipad articles. Oh, wait...They don't. Quit your pathetic whining and shut up. You guys are sickening.
12. JMartin22 (Posts: 1245; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
Complaining about people putting their own thoughts and opinions in a forum is just as "pathetic" and "sickening"
13. Hallucinator (Posts: 344; Member since: 24 May 2010)
No, these are the same people that complain about trolls on other articles. I have no problem with people expressing themselves about different products when they actually have something relevant to say. However, 9.9 times out of ten its just the same regurgitated jokes just to get a couple thumbs up. Now, to come and insult phone are for them putting up a leaked pic is just silly and juvenile. If you support that, that up to you.

It's funny cause in 10 years Apple will be the next blackberry so it doesn't even really matter about their s***** products

Jobs is rolling over in the grave, trying to slap Tim cook from the beyond!
Apple will be hard pressed to come out with a product that can compete with 500 companies making cheap good products. It has already started. What we android guys and gals need to be doing is not giving a shut. Cause the apples want us to give shut. So next time we see.an apple article pass it over and check out the Google stuff. It soul will be cleansed
24. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3561; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Yeah, the only problem with Android, is Android... The only quality alternative to Apple products are WP, Nokia, and Microsoft products.. Google is to much of everything bad..

New Nexus 7 tablet is definitely looking like an awesome value.
23. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3561; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Man,, Apple products look so last decade.... It time for the world to be refreshed with some good looking Nokia phones, and tablets..

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
This study guide, part of a set from noted Bible scholar John MacArthur, takes readers on a journey through biblical texts to discover what lies beneath the surface, focusing on meaning and context, and then reflecting on the explored passage or concept. With probing questions that guide the reader toward application, The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series is an invaluable tool for Bible students of all ages.
MacArthur's commentary on John 1-11 contains a complete outline and a versified exegesis of the first eleven chapters of the Fourth Gospel. Known for his careful and conservative perspective, MacArthur has done pastors and lay persons a great service with this commentary that reveals the Word and its power.
John MacArthur, Jr. pastors Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, and serves as President of the Master's College and Seminary in Santa Clarita. A well-known Bible expositor and conference speaker, he has written over 75 books. He is also the Bible teacher on Grace to You, an international radio broadcast. The slogan of Grace to You captures the essence of MacArthur's expositional approach to ministering the Scriptures: "Unleashing God's Truth One Verse at a Time."

Khloe Kardashian admits she can handle mom calling her "fat"
HollywoodNews.com: A lot of people would be pretty upset if their mom called them fat, but Khloe Kardashian is learning to handle the criticism from mom Kris Jenner as she is also her manager.
Khloe recently revealed to 'Cosmopolitan' that her mom can get away with the comment because she knows it's about business and doesn't change how much her mom supports her, states UsMagazine.com.
"Listen, my mom believes in us more than we believe in ourselves. But she is also our manager and trying to protect our brand. She'll say, 'Oh, you're a little too fat right now.' If she were just my manager, I'd have fired her right then. You can't talk to me like that," Khloe commented.

Current Time
Portugal 1400-038
Tel: 351 210 400 200
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:Few Lisbon hotels can match the Altis Belém's sublime waterfront location, wedged between the dramatic Monument to the Discoveries and a fairy-tale limestone folly called the Torre de Belém. Groovily modern, with its 50 rooms facing either the marina or the Golden Gate-style red girder bridge which spans the mouth of the Tagus River, the hotel's glass-fronted "less is more" design makes maximum advantage of its setting. Cool marble interiors are furnished by designers Margarida Grácio Nunes and Fernando Sanchez Salvador, who did not skimp on the five lavishly upholstered suites with rich colorful murals depicting colonial Portuguese outposts, a theme that runs throughout the hotel. Guest rooms named Mauritania, Goa, Macau, and Maldivas nod to past glories but it is the spices flowing from kitchen at the hotel's Feitoria restaurant that provide guests with the hotel's highlight. Michelin star chef José Cordeiro concocts seafood dishes with a hint of colonial flavorlike the amuse bouche with six variations of oyster. The trendy, ground floor 38º 41' Bar also serves a rooftop sun deck and infinity pool area overlooking the Tagus. BSpa's scarlet pajama-clad therapists contrast with milky white marble walls that form a hammam, treatment rooms, and a superb azure-blue heated pool. 2010 Hot List
Which room to book: Splash out on one of the two riverfront suites with private Jacuzzi.

Magna GRECE is an allusion to Magna Graecia, or greater Greece, the name for the Greek settlements in Southern Italy, and GRECE, the acronym for the Groupement de Recherche et d'Études sur la Civilization Européene (Center for Research and Study on European Civilization). As the title of our journal implies, GRECE is a source of inspiration for our group.

"Faced as we are with this destiny, there is only one world-outlook that is worthy of us, that which has already been mentioned as the Choice of Achilles — better a short life, full of deeds and glory, than a long life without content. Already the danger is so great, for every individual, every class, every nation, that to cherish any illusion whatever is deplorable. The march of time cannot be halted; there is no question of prudent retreat or clever renunciation. Only dreamers believe there is a way out. Optimism is cowardice.
"We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on…without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man."

Benchmark comparison: Galaxy S4 vs Galaxy S III vs Note 2 vs Optimus G Pro vs Nexus 4 vs HTC One
But, there is one 'but'. We planned to use the following benchmark apps for this test: Quadrant Standard, AnTuTu, Vellamo, GLBenchmark 2.5, GLBenchmark 2.7 and the brand new 3DMark. Unfortunately, it turns out that 3DMark doesn't support the Galaxy S4 yet, and it's also having issues with the Galaxy S III, so, sadly, we cannot report any 3DMark scores for those devices. Still, we've run the test on all the other smartphones participating in this prestigious contest, just to see what happens.
GLBenchmark 2.5: Egypt HD
It's true that there's GLBenchmark 2.7 already, but we guess a lot of folks are yet to to update to the newest version, so we decided to play it safe and run the good old GLBenchmark 2.5. More specifically, we ran the popular Egypt HD onscreen test. The Galaxy S4 proved to be an excellent performer here, achieving an average frame rate of 40. Probably thanks to its lower, 720p resolution, though, the Nexus 4 managed to get a superior score of 44 fps. The HTC One, which is also one of the major contenders here, claimed the third place with 32 fps, but once again, we should keep in mind that, like the GS4, it's equipped with a 1080p screen, so the job of its Snapdragon 600 is a significantly harder than that of the Nexus 4's Snapdragon S4 Pro.
GLBenchmark 2.7: T-Rex HD
Running the newest GLBenchmark and its T-Rex HD onscreen test, we observe a similar situation with the Nexus 4 confidently taking the lead, thanks to its 720p screen. The Galaxy S4 is once again the fastest handset with a 1080p screen, followed by the HTC One. We should note that the Optimus G Pro, which also has a 1080p screen and the Snapdragon 600 CPU, is not far behind the leaders and manages to retain a stable FPS most of the time.
Quadrant Standard
The Quadrant Standard test may not be anything spectacular, especially when compared to tests like GLBenchmark and 3DMark, but it's still one of the most popular benchmarks out there. Here we see the Galaxy S4 show its superiority over all, but with only a marginal advantage over its rival, the HTC One. The Optimus G Pro performed almost as well in this test, as its result was just under 12000. The Nexus 4, which led the charts in the previous tests, has now fallen to a much more modest level.
Another system-oriented benchmark, AnTuTu confirms our observations from Quadrant. The Galaxy S4 and HTC One are the definite leaders here, with the One managing to squeeze a slightly better result: 23529 versus the GS4's 23391. Once again, the Snapdragon 600-powered LG Optimus G Pro takes the comfortable third place, though it makes us wonder why it doesn't achieve a more convincing victory over the handsets with inferior hardware. Also, why isn't it closer to the GS4 and One, which are powered by the same silicon? Most handsets perform well in this test, though we can't help but notice that the Galaxy S III has been last in all tests thus far. Isn't it amazing how last year's fastest phone is this year's slowest one?
Vellamo is a great suite of tests separately measuring HTML5 and 'Metal' performance, with the latter being hardware-related stuff like CPU and graphics. In terms of HTML5, the Optimus G Pro managed to take the cake for some reason, with the HTC One staying close behind. The Galaxy S4 qualified for the third place here, and the Nexus 4, which proved to be quite impressive in terms of computing power, has finished last with a shameful sub-1500 score.
Things got back to normal in the Metal part of the Vellamo benchmark, where the HTC One managed to edge the GS4 for the first place.
3DMark: Ice Storm Extreme
As it's a very popular PC benchmark software, we're quite excited to see 3DMark's arrival in the mobile space. The app comes with two tests: Ice Storm and Ice Storm Extreme. Always wanting to push things to the extreme, we naturally decided to go with Ice Storm Extreme, confident that the smartphones we've lined up here have all the necessary horsepower for the test. Unfortunately, it turned out that the app isn't really compatible with the Galaxy S4 and S III, so those devices had to sit this one out. 3DMark breaks the score down to three categories: Ice Storm Extreme, Graphics test and Physics test.
Thanks to its lower resolution and decent hardware, the Nexus 4 got the best result in the ISE test, but very closely followed by the HTC One. We guess that if the Galaxy S4 could run the test, it would have about the same score as the Nexus 4. Things are almost identical as far as the graphics test is concerned, and finally, it's the Nexus 4 which got the first place in the physics test, though the Note II suddenly decided to mash the Nitro button and finished with an almost identical score. Once again, the Optimus G Pro showed that it may not be the fastest phone around, but it certainly knows how to achieve consistently strong results.
Overall, this extensive benchmark test confirmed our expectations that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is probably the fastest phone around, at least when it comes to synthetic benchmarks. Most of the times, it's rivaled by the HTC One, and sometimes it's even beaten by HTC's finest, but those occasions aren't very often. The Optimus G Pro, the third handset here with a Snapdragon 600 CPU, achieved consistently good results, but it looks like LG hasn't done enough work in the software optimization department. As a result, the G Pro is always inferior to its opponents, except for the HTML5 test.
Thanks to its 720p resolution, the Google Nexus 4 by LG actually treats us to even better frame-rates than the GS4 and the One, so those rocking a Nexus 4 shouldn't be getting worried about the performance of their handset anytime soon. Sure, you won't be getting the super-fine looks present with the smartphones sporting 1080p screen, but at least everything will run smoothly. That is not really the case when it comes to the Note II and especially the Galaxy S III. Samsung's last-year top smartphone and top phablet tend to be noticeably slower than the competition, which is to be expected considering their older hardware. However, that's only if you are after the very best that is available on the mobile market. For the time being, you'll probably be just fine with the GS III or Note II, which are still capable of running all games and apps without a problem. In the near future, though, you might start to feel that your device is falling behind the curve.

S4 rules.. King of all kings..
3. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
benchmarks aren't everything....
14. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
True and I think gs4 will perform much more better than other competitors(HTC one) despite of these competitive benchmarks with HTC..
21. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
I expect so... My doubt is that with gazillion of sensors and a 1080p display which consumes the battery juice 8 times faster than other LCD displays while showing white colors, will it last long enough for a day? ... lets hope it performs well...
25. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
You can see the battery review of s4 on gsmarena.. Its best compared to all.. But HTC one wins in Web browsing category by small margin..
35. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
they set the display of the both phones to maximum brightness while running web browsing tests. If you see the display review of s4 on gsmarena, you will know that 70% of brightness level of HTC One equals the 100% brightness of S4. That's an unfair advantage given to galaxy s4 over HTC One. So, In real world usage the battery performance of HTC one will be so much better!!
45. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
Okay.. I didn't think that way though.. I got your point but I won't judge until I check both by myself..your point is creditable :).. But still carrying an extra battery for s4 may not be much heavy for many users..
54. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
Not to mention its expandable memory storage, latest jelly bean, etc.. S4 is a great device... My point was it should not only be judged by some artificial benchmarks..
122. geodude074 (Posts: 67; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
I broke it down for you guys, trying to be as unbiased as possible.
Egypt T-Rex QS AnTuTu HTML5 Metal ISE Graphics Physics Total
Note 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 3 5 28
G Pro 3 3 4 4 6 4 3 4 4 35
One 4 4 5 6 5 6 5 5 3 43
The S4 and the HTC One are tied with 43 points.
The Nexus 4 and the Optimus G Pro are similar, with the Nexus 4 edging out by 2 points.
The Note finishes 5th with 28 points.
The S3 comes last with 16 points.

Haha .so true & in most of the cases s4 got its ass kicked....cheap plastic!
22. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
Lol.. That was just the snapdragon version and still they win.. Haters will cry when the comparison is done with exynos version..
81. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
haters will lough when the comparison is done with S800 or TEGRA 4
138. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
That would be the time for note 3 to come by then.. :)
143. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
haha you can't read my comment i am talking about processor
no matter what the device S800 or TEGRA 4 is better than Exynos 5 octa
153. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
I am talking about the processor.. Sammy will definitely keep exynos octa clocked in such a way in note 3 that will again be on the top.. I don't think s800 or tegra 4 will beat the upgraded version of exynos 5octa that would be on note 3 but I think apple's a7 would be great.. By that time A7 and note 3's octa would always be on hot news..
158. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
clocked in such a way hmm...
Please open your eyes and accept the reality!!!
On antutu
Exynos 5 octa clocked at 1.8 GHz scored 27000+
Tegra 4 with max clock speed 1.9 GHz is scored 36000+
just imagine how fast if Tegra 4 have higher clock speed
the only hot news is when S800 or Tegra 4 beat samsung 8 core
38. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
and again, cheap plastic.. can u educate urself that polycarbonate is better than aluminum and glass (coz sapphire isnt yet available in handsets)!!,
hatred really starts to bloom so humongous after losing smartphone battles in reviews,,
31. wendygarett (unregistered)
benchmark aren't everything? Are you sourgraping? enjoy your inferior HTC one...
36. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
You are already back to Samsung :p.. I thought you disliked the s4 :p..
43. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
I dont have a HTC one to enjoy, and i dont support htc One you $tup!d troll. If you ask any tech nerd they will tell you that a under clocked single core Windows phone(with a poor benchmark score of course) will perform so much smoother than a higher clocker dual core android counterparts. Its all about optimization now...
50. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
I prefer s4 because I believe that Samsung has optimized it very well.. And I doubt HTC one in this department.. But who knows things can be opposite than what I feel..
61. wendygarett (unregistered)
This is just a gross result, please ask pa to trim away all the ui in every phone and make it stock android and see, galaxy s4 for sure will crush HTC one and nexus 4!!!
116. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
The S4 in the benchmark is running the same processor as the HTC One. If we are to put stock Android on it... I'm sure the performance will be roughly the same, S4 probably wins by a bit due to higher clock. I probably won't say the same if the S4 was the 8 core version, but then again, there has been rumors/facts that not all 8 cores runs at once.
What made S4 really stand out this year from S3 is the software.
186. ankitp (Posts: 30; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
u seems to b paid by samsung for negative comments
63. bojan (Posts: 188; Member since: 06 Oct 2012)
benchmarks are which company pay more money.
66. chistoefurpuffer (Posts: 140; Member since: 11 Mar 2013)
Neither are looks.
55. amats69 (Posts: 1129; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
you have to look to all aspects before claiming that S4 is the king.
75. chistoefurpuffer (Posts: 140; Member since: 11 Mar 2013)
I for one did, and clearly it is.
82. amats69 (Posts: 1129; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
i doubt...i smell fanboyism ....
104. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
u smell more like a fanboy as what ive observed from ur past comments.. dealing with reviews and saying the different side of the results are more biased..
171. chistoefurpuffer (Posts: 140; Member since: 11 Mar 2013)
Fanboyism? More like it clearly has better specs and features than any phone to date. I smell a butt hurt failure x:
109. chocolaking (Posts: 461; Member since: 22 May 2012)
NEXUS 4 KILLED Galaxy S4 (8 cores??) IN BENCHMARK EGYPT
HTC ONE IS PAR WITH S4(8 cores?) in Quadrant
HTC ONE tops the AnTuTu, S4 with 8 cores lost by slightly.
Optimus G topped Vellamo, Htc one came second.
But the Galaxy S4 with 8 cores didn't even came closed
I still think the S4 is a good phone. Maybe just not perfomed that well in these tests?
115. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3024; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
You must be joking!
For one, you didn't read the article properly. The SIV, here, is the variant with Snapdragon 600 (quad-core)...but yes, it still is an SIV.
People talk about how benchmark scores don't matter in real life performance, but when we compare our phones again in real life, we'll refer back to the benchmark scores. How much the other scored against the other one. It's all in our mind!
Benchmark scores are shown for reasons...that's why they're called 'benchmark'.
It might not show us how it will perform in real time but theoritically, we know which device is making good use of the hardware with proper software optimization.
I'm not a fan of SIV nor One but both are equally one of the most advanced phones out there. And saying SIV is the best or One is the best is an opinion of fanboy-ism.
141. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
Don't troll.. Its okay if you hate s4 but why lie..? That much scared with samsung? I know hating Samsung is much difficult because they win all the time and haters have no other options then to cry and lie.. Same case was seen with Apple before and now with Samsung.. If nokia/motorola becomes top again then people hate them the most and it goes that way..
176. buggerrer (Posts: 288; Member since: 21 Sep 2011)
You are correct sir. Almost always the MFG on top has committed the most evil, and therefore deserves my hate. For me the truth is I have always loved the look of Sense, and the functionality is usually not worse than stock-Android. Touch-Wiz is dumb and would be instantly replaced by a custom launcher. On the other hand, I've always hated phones with no SD/removable-batt, so S4 wins there. This article confirms to me that the performance of S4, One, and OP are all about the same as a G4, and that is more power than I probably need for the next 2 years, so all is equal. In the end, I just like the look of the HTC better (silver, not black).

64. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
In use no different btw s4 and one speed..both are great with no lag but why one is better:
-u can feel clear a solid phone when take it.
-u can feel clear sound when call with one
-u can feel reality color when see In lcd3
–u can feel a diamond technology and elegant when use sense 5
-u can feel best hdr recording with perfect sound
-u can feel that a in your hand when see one's design with perfect body
-u can feel bombastic sound when turn on its speaker
One all the way.
71. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Just make sure you don't drop your "solid" phone. LMAO!
Also natural colours is no longer an issue on SuperAMOLED.(http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-vs-htc-one-vs-apple-iphone-5-display-test-confirms-amoleds-can-finally-do-accurate-colors/)
"–u can feel a diamond technology and elegant when use sense 5
-u can feel best hdr recording with perfect sound
-u can feel that a in your hand when see one's design with perfect body"
Diamond technology? feel best HDR recording with perfect sound? Perfect body? Really?!
110. chocolaking (Posts: 461; Member since: 22 May 2012)
Dude, if you look at the screen on all galaxy 'Super AMOLED ' phones. The screen does not present real color. you can just tell.
S4 is an really disapointment piece of work .
it is really the nextbigflop! Lol
118. SleepingOz (unregistered)
We're not talking about all past SuperAMOLED here, we're talking about the one on the GSIV! Feel free to check the link I posted above before spewing such BS.
130. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
U can find better competition above your post in top of page..
Its clear super amould don't reach to perfect color as u mean..lcd3 and rotina is best.
134. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Dude this comparison isn't as refined as the one GSMArena carried, there isn't any technical information in it. Also the GSIV they reviewed is a pre-production unit. So fail! =]
Why don't you jus check the link I posted from GSMArena?
154. iushnt (Posts: 753; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
I still love super amoled plus of s2 and infuse.. Best screens so far..
126. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
Oooh sorry cheap plastic with toys design with exaggerate color is king..its your mean it? Maybe if u want.
135. SleepingOz (unregistered)
"cheap plastic" that is sturdier and fare better in drop test than the so called "premium" aluminium of the HTC One. =]
"toys design" with bigger screen yet smaller body that is more comfortable(better ergonomics) to hold.
"exaggerate color" that GSMArena said to be better than the LCD panel of the HTC One.(Adope mode for natural colours and better sunlight visibility.)
Come with some valid arguments next time buddy. You're just embarassing yourself here.
87. Retro-touch (Posts: 264; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Your arguments for HTC One seem farfetched, its just a phone, you'll put it in a case anyway and when you do a bigger screen will be better,
165. johnriii (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
one would hope they would put it in a case, since it is a mini computer. how someone can carry any smartphone without one is beyond me. I usually buy my case within a week of getting my phone, if not sooner.
173. chocolaking (Posts: 461; Member since: 22 May 2012)
I actually don't put any cover or case on my phone. A lot of my friends don't use it.
the reason is because I always hold my respect to the phone designer.

not because of the look i love everything about the HTC ONE

who cares about tests all this websites they all get paid for reviews and fake tests. i only trust myself and i test my self don;t need some website to tell what is best with fake reviews that got paid with money

When you start using the phone then you will only be looking at the screen.. I'm sure note 2 users will find HTC one funny as it is like beauty vs beast..beauty generally attracts females. I am sure by the end of this year people will be talking about s4, iPhone and note 3 and forget about htc one like last year (onex was lost by the end of the year) .. Even XZ have started fading out from topic so soon. Mark my words

GSIV's pros:
Better CPU/GPU, better performances, better ergonomics, better camera, better build quality(probably),bigger screen in smaller body, better screen(can finally display natural colours with better sunlight visibility according to GSMArena), latest Android version, more features, more sensors, NFC, expandable memory, removable battery
HTC One Pros:
Better looking phone(subjective), "premium" feel in hand(but very very poor build quality), louder stereo speakers
Yet according to your "unbiased" conclusion, HTC One is better and tech sites that say otherwise are the biased ones?! Fu*k logic!

htc one has poor build quality. that is true and well known. more and more notice that. but you wont read it from websites. their machines are golden machine. besides, it's covered with plasic, too. it just makes you feel premium, but it is not.

That's exactly what you are doing right now. its LMFAO..
SleepingOz quotes:
( "Never trust reviews from professional tech websites that say that my favourite brands aren't the best! 'coz they are biased! My fav brands are always the best, no matter what!" Right?
Typical fanboy's behaviour! )

By now, everyone's seen the anglo-rific "Keep Calm and Carry on Posters" along with its million derivatives. In the past month alone I've been told to keep calm and eat cake, buy a t-shirt, sing a song, and do something that's only legal in Amsterdam. So, just when I thought I couldn't bear anymore keeping calm, this video came along, bringing the magic back to the ubiquitous poster. What's particularly cool is how it was rediscovered:
Need a little help keeping calm? There's an app for that.

Lisa, your storage is awesome! I like how compact it is, yet stores a LOT! And what clever idea to keep your scrap colors in bags.

How funny, our paper storage is almost identical, lol!!!!! The only difference is that mine is on a shelf instead of a cart. I separate companies too, and my SU paper is all by families. I laughed when I saw your scrap box, CUZ I HAVE ONE JUST LIKE IT, organized just like yours! I do have a second box now, cuz I couldn't fit all my bags in the one anymore. This is too funny! We are like paper-organizing-twins-separated-at-birth!!!!
