John, I recommended today that action 248 (http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/track/actions/248) be closed as I have added the following text on requiring "distinct permission to monitor properties must be granted" to the privacy section: "For the monitor method, distinct permission to monitor properties must be granted, and a maximum monitor period must be applied by the user agent."

Citizens Holding Company Reports Earnings
Citizens Holding Company (NASDAQ:CIZN) announced today results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased to $1.976 million, or $0.41 per share-basic and diluted, from $1.859 million, or $0.38 per share-basic and diluted for the same quarter in 2009. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2010, after the provision for loan losses for the quarter, was $6.940 million, approximately 7.8% higher than the same period in 2009, due to a decrease in the amount of interest expense partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $625 thousand compared to $316 thousand for the same period in 2009. The increase in the provision reflects management's assessment of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions. The net interest margin increased to 4.18% in the first quarter of 2010 from 4.09% in the same period in 2009 primarily because of the decrease in yields on earning assets was less than the decline in rates paid on interest bearing deposits.
Non-interest income increased in the first quarter of 2010 by approximately $61 thousand, or 3.9%, while non-interest expenses increased $399 thousand, or 7.1%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to an increase in fees received on deposits and other service charges and fees. Non-interest expense increased mainly due to a $155 thousand increase in FDIC premiums paid in 2010, and an increase in salaries and benefits in the amount of $257 thousand.
Total assets as of March 31, 2010 increased by $9.140 million, or 1.1%, when compared to December 31, 2009. Deposits increased by $5.473 million, or 1.0%, over the same period in 2010. Loans, net of unearned income, during this period decreased by $702 thousand, or 0.2%, due to decreasing loan demand. Non-performing assets increased by $122 thousand to $14.436 million at March 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 because of an increase in non-accrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest offset by a decrease in other real estate.

Jaguars' Jones-Drew has foot surgery, out 5 months
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville's worst season in franchise history may include a botched injury.
Star running back Maurice Jones-Drew had surgery on his left foot Friday and will be out at least until May. The operation came 10 weeks after Jones-Drew hurt his foot at Oakland on Oct. 21 and created plenty of questions about why the team didn't opt for surgery months ago.
The Jaguars (2-13) were 1-5 after that loss, in the middle of a seven-game losing streak, and knew Jones-Drew would be out an extended period. Surgery was an option back then. Instead, the team held out hope Jones-Drew could return.
"We had hoped it would -- as others have -- heal without surgery, and it didn't," coach Mike Mularkey said Friday.
Mularkey said the two-month delay means little because players can't start offseason work with coaches until April 15.
"Hopefully back by May, late May, early June," Mularkey said. "If it's May, we're not going to miss a lot. I don't think it's significant that we're doing it now. We all felt like he had a chance to play all the way up until this week, and really we were hoping he could."
But it could be later. And any kind of setback could mean missing organized team activities and possibly training camp.
Sticking to his policy about not talking about injuries, Mularkey declined to offer specifics about Jones-Drew's foot injury.
"There's just some space in his foot," the coach said. "They wanted to keep it healing on its own. I don't know all the medical terms. There's a lot of things going on in the foot. Something that you hoped would naturally go back didn't, so we're going to hold it in place."
The Jaguars placed Jones-Drew on injured reserve and filled his roster spot by signing rookie defensive tackle Jerome Long off Kansas City's practice squad.
Jones-Drew, who led the league in rushing in 2011, finished with 414 yards and a touchdown this season. The Jaguars rank 30th in the league in rushing.
MJD skipped the entire offseason program, sitting out training camp and the preseason during a 38-day holdout while looking for a new contract. The Jaguars didn't budge, refusing to renegotiate since he had two years remaining on a five-year deal worth $31.5 million. He made $4.45 million this season and is due to get $4.95 million next year.
He said last week he doesn't anticipate missing anything mandatory during the offseason.
He is, though, going back to UCLA to pursue his college degree. He's scheduled to take three business classes beginning Jan. 7.
"We're going to set up a place out there for him to rehab," Mularkey said. "We have contacts out there with him. We're comfortable with that."

Editorial Reviews: SynopsisTHE CONFESSION THAT COULD KILL HIM... Jonah Borden is not your typical Lutheran pastor, and he takes pains to make sure everyone knows it. He's a tough-guy, thinks-he's-funny, rock-music-playing, gourmet-cooking, painfully-moderate-drinking, hard-boiled man of the cloth. He is even available for a bit of romance, under the right circumstances. Doug Norstad, a member of Jonah Borden's church, is arrested for a vigilante killing. Norstad shares his true alibi with Borden, under the privileged status of religious confession. Knowing now that the man is innocent, Borden must prove it somehow, without divulging his secret. Along the way he uncovers a twisted series of murders and cover ups. Before it is all over, Borden himself has been bribed, beaten, shot, and arrested for murder. Even worse, he may be falling in love. Set in the midst of the striking beauty of Minnesota's Lake Superior Coastline, Superior Justice will draw you in with its unique and quirky characters, and keep you guessing until the end.

Only By The Night - Kings of Leon
- Band Name: Kings of Leon
- Record Label: RCA
- Release Date: Sep 23, 2008
- Summary: The fourth album for the rock band from Tennessee was produced by Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King.
- Record Label: RCA
- Genre(s): Rock, Alternative
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 15 out of 30
Mixed: 12 out of 30
Negative: 3 out of 30
The dreamy 'Cold Desert' is the perfect maudlin end to this short, sharp, 42-minute, no-filler album, revelling in every miserable blues-rocker cliché as Matthew's guitar goes all shoegazey and then briefly threatens to turn the whole thing into a 'Purple Rain' wig-out.
It's a tight, very good album and although it'll have its unfair share of detractors, like the rest of the band's albums, it will shine no matter what.
Kings of Leon needed to make a very specific sounding type of album in order to seize their moment, and that they have done, entirely successfully. [Oct 2008, p.134]
Through headphones or computer speakers, Caleb's echoey vocals just don't ring credible. Their Black-Crowes-go-new-wave choruses are exciting enough, but they feel unearned after tiresome, oversung verses.
Only By The Night is best viewed as a transitional record from a band who have quite literally done their growing up in public. [Oct 2008, p.98]
Only by The Night will undoubtedly sell bucketloads but there's no escaping the fact that creatively, Kings Of Leon have stalled.
Where surprises could be found with each previous release to give even casual fans something to appreciate, Only by the Night delivers an even serving of Ritalin coma stadium rock destined to raise their prime age demographic.

There are 1 or 2 decent moments, but most of the songs are wastefully transparent, the lyrics are horribly cliched and any trace of that quirky edge ,which made the band so likeable in earlier albums, has been washed away in a tide of indie-rock mediocrity. It seems that Kings of Leon have transcended from different but brilliant to uniform but sellable; pressure from their record company may not have helped, but the whole of this record seems to have slipped into the line of 'fashionable' music. A special mention, finally, for 'Use Somebody'. Quite simply, one of the worst songs ever written by any band with their level of talent. It really is awful - yet it has risen to new heights of adulation. And that, in a way, pretty much sums up this album.… Expand

Corporate events are very important occasions because it reflects on the reputation of the company. That is the reason why such events must be professionally handled.
Of course, if you want quality, you must be prepared to pay a high price. But since you are looking at an event that you want to be unforgettable, you must be willing to pay the price of a professional party hire Melbourne specialist.

We have two children at Emerson and the both have thrived there because of the freedom they get from being able to walk home from their neighborhood school. The teachers in both the SAS (honors) and non-SAS classes devote a great deal of time outside of the classroom to preparing and collaborating with parents to bring the most innovative and stimulating experiences to the students. Our children have not lacked for anything in going to this public school. In fact they don t have the time to take advantage of everything that Emerson has to offer. Our principal has had the opportunity to hire several teachers in the past two years and has included parents in the interview and selection process. The candidates he brings in have been excellent and the new hires have immediately become invaluable members of our close community.

Sorry I cannot see the picture ... for some reason tinypic doesnt load for me
If your first disk (DISk0) contains less than four primary partitions, you can do the job using Partition Wizard Bootable CD . . For how to do it tutorial, follow the option three of the tutorial Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD , it will work for shrinking from the right side, too.
EDIT : If there are four primary partitions already, dont try it. First convert a non-system partition to logical (Partition wizard can do it), and then try the above. Sorry again that I cannot see the pic you posted .

One problem that I see is that you are trying to shrink your primary boot partition and that is allowed but: your disk most likely has the page file and hyberfil on the C drive which takes up space and most likely will be at the end of your c drive. That creates a problem where there is not enough space to shrink as your pictures indicate.
One other problme is that even if you can shrink the C drive by the 80 gigs your asking for. It will not be available to the F drive as it will end up in front of the F drive and in MHO, I don't think you can add space to the front of another partition.
If you want to do this, you can copy all the data from your F drive to an external drive and the remove the F partiion, Then you can defragment your C drive temporarily remove your page and hyberfil. then you should be able to shrink your C drive and then that space will be available for your new partion which most likely would be F.
But, I think it is not a good idea to have so little free space on your C drive as most programs require space to install files on your C drive. Also you might not have enough space for system restore files, which can get large. Also you might have several restore files which you could get rid of before the defrag.
Just my opinion on what you want to accomplish
Good luck

Game Day: Enter the Drow
After 18 months of playing Second Darkness our heroes are finally ready to take the fight to the drow. They've skirmished with the dark elves before, but avoided the major battle at the end of Book 2 when they inadvertantly stumbled into the drow lair and had to retreat. The drow then escaped under the cover of night while sending a shadow demon to kill them.
The Unknown Regions
The Unknown Regions is the final sourcebook for Wizards of the Coast's Star Wars: Saga Edition Role-Playing Game. The book serves as a placeholder for all the books left unpublished, and promises to carry players to the unexplored corners of the Star Wars galaxy. It does this by venturing into The Unknown Regions to explore what fans know -- the Chiss, the Rakata and the Sorcerers of Rhand -- and plenty that they don't.
The Unknown Regions details eight worlds created just for the book, introduces a planet generator that game masters can use to make their own, and debuts creature generation rules to populate them. Since Scouts are essential to exploring these brave new worlds, they get a variety of feats and talents, and because no final frontier should be without its dangerous challenges, the book re-envisions "Hazards" as Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition-style threats that require a combination of brawn and skill to defeat. The end result is a tool kit that gives players everything they need to continue their adventures beyond the last book in the Star Wars Saga Editions line.
Game Day: A Nice Day for a Black Wedding
In the real world, our gaming group's seen numerous weddings (and will see yet another this fall), but in the game world our heroes never got hitched. Until tonight.
Galaxy of Intrigue
Skill challenges were the best thing to emerge from our Dungeons Dragons 4th Edition mini-campaign, and when we started playing Star Wars: Saga Edition, we pieced together our own version of the rules. We based them on 4E's examples, the skill DCs established in Scum and Villainy, and personal experience. The end result created some of the most memorable moments in our campaign, including the heroes' disastrous attempt to escape a proto-star nebula.
Galaxy of Intrigue formalizes these ad hoc rules by creating a Skill Challenge system for Saga Edition that improves the 4E iteration in every way. The source book introduces new feat and talent options for skillful characters, nine new species (including the Bith, Defel and Neimodian), an entire world dedicated to intrigue, eight mini-adventures, and the "The Perfect Storm" campaign.
Fantasy Flight Games Announces Star Wars RPG, Launches Beta
A year after announcing they secured the licence, Fantasy Flight Games released details on their upcoming Star Wars Role-Playing Game and launched a beta test.
There's not much in the way of details about how the game is played. Based on the beta FAQ, it apparently uses custom dice like Warhammer Fantasty; the beta book apparently includes stickers you can put on your own polyhedral dice to emulate the final dice.
Necessary Evil: Explorer's Edition
Aliens. We always knew they were out there, ready to invade our planet, enslave the population and strip mine its resources. But we also knew that if they should try it, Earth's greatest superheroes would rise up and save us.
We were wrong.
When the V'Sori came they slaughtered our super-powered defenders just as easily as they did our armies. Now our cities are conquered, our people are terrorized, and the job of saving the world has fallen to the most unlikely of people: Earth's super villains.
Delve into action with Dragon Age Stunts
The dwarven warrior D'klar Ironforge stood on the Deep Roads bridge eying the darkspawn before him. Spittle from the creature's mongrel face glistened in the reflected light of the lava far below. Covering its black-furred hide were the crudely-arranged castoffs of dwarven chain and planted, while its obsidian-clawed hands held a short sword wet with the blood of Ironforge's kin.
With a guttural shout, he charged the creature, bringing his battle axe down in a killing arc that sliced through the cracks in darkspawn's armor, cleaving its spine and sending it crumbling to the stone. The dwarf hefted the axe from the corpse and looked up. The rest of the darkspawn horde stood at the other end of the bridge. He grinned. "Who's next?"
Scenes like this one are something we love to recreate in fantasy pen-and-paper role-playing games. How you do it depends: it could be an improved critical feat in Pathfinder or an armor-piercing daily power in Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition, or it could just be flavor text added afterwards. It works well enough, but the game mechanic geek in me finds the feat/power option too limiting. Sure, I want to bury my axe into the darkspawn scum … but when fighting a dragon, I just might rather hit and run instead of going toe-to-toe with the beast.
Game Day: And Now We Shop...
A new RPG system, a credit card and iPad are a dangerous combination. Especially when the game is Pathfinder, the company is Paizo, and the PDFs are priced at $9.99 a piece.
Exploring RPG Uses of Pinterest
Pinterest is a social bookmarking site for images: you find photographs, illustrations, or posters or other images that you like an "pin" them to a collection of boards. It's like dumping a stack of art catalogs onto your desk, cutting out the illustrations you like best, and then thumbtacking them to your bulletin board.
The site's popular with crafters, and when I was casting about for ideas for a recent "Summon WebScryer" column for Knights of the Dinner Table I decided to see if it could be used for gaming.
Star Wars Round Up: AGE of Rebellion, X-Wing Mini Game, new d20 rules
It is a dark time for Star Wars role-playing games. There's no official role-playing game being released, and fan-generated content for older games is tapering off. Fortunately though the Order 66 podcast continues to pump out new content for Saga Edition, there's a new AGE-powered Rebellion Era playtest document, and an X-Wing miniatures game from Fantasy Flight Games.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Great product! No need to upgrade to fancier paper. This invitation is great quality & Wedding Paper Divas was super easy to work with!"
"Turned out great! Ordering was easy and I like the option to message the designer. I love weddingpaperdivas received several free samples which help me narrow down my choices. I also love their attention to detail, right down to packaging. I felt very well taken care of. Thank you!!!"
"I was skeptical about ordering invitations online but had only heard wonderful things about Wedding Paper Divas, so we decided to go ahead and order. I am so glad that we did! The invitations turned out beautifully. The paper is incredibly nice, the design is flawless, and the color is just like what is shown on the site. We decided not to personalize the color as the color was very similar to our wedding colors. However, we did have an extra line we wanted added and our designer helped us with that tremendously! I also contacted Wedding Paper Divas with a few questions here and there, and they were always quick to answer and very helpful. Thank you for making our invitations so beautiful!"
"out of all of the samples we ordered, the one really stood out! the texture and quality of the paper is amazing, and the design is elegant enough but yet still casual, perfect for our outdoor wedding! we were able to completely customize the colors as well, so they match our colors exactly. We did meadow green blooms with navy accents and grey font. they are stunning in person!"
"We absolutely LOVE our invite. This design has a modern yet traditional feel and is slightly whimsical. We didn't like "our wedding" underneath the names and it wasn't a problem to remove it. Our guests love our invite, too. We're going to do something fun/creative with it after the wedding. The back of the card, ironically, matches one of the tiers on our cake. That was a bonus!"

Keller Rohrback L.L.P. Announces Investigation Of The Costa Concordia Cruise Disaster
Attorney Advertising. Keller Rohrback L.L.P. ( www.krcomplexlit.com) is investigating the Costa Concordia cruise disaster on behalf of victims of the cruise shipwreck. The Costa Concordia, a 950-foot luxury cruise liner operated by Costa Cruise Lines, a subsidiary of Carnival Cruise Lines (NYSE: CCL), began sinking when the ship ran aground near Giglio Island off the coast of Italy on January 13, 2012. The ship was carrying at least 4,229 passengers from 60 countries. The Concordia was en route from Civitavecchia to Savona, Italy when the shipwreck occurred. The vessel struck a rock at night, tearing a 150-foot gash in the cruise ship's side and bottom. Several people lost their lives and others were severely injured as a result of this accident.
Reports in the media point to significant errors on the part of the cruise line, including but not limited to failing to have in place and to implement effective safety procedures. The captain of the Costa Concordia is under house arrest on preliminary charges of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck, and abandoning the ship before all passengers and crew members were safe.
According to Lynn Sarko, attorney for U.S. passengers on the Costa Concordia, "It is shocking that a cruise ship disaster of Titanic proportions could happen today. The Costa Concordia is every traveler's worst nightmare come true." Mr. Sarko continues, "The utter lack of disaster preparedness and accountability on board the ship and in the aftermath of the disaster are unforgivable. Carnival and Costa Cruise Lines must be held accountable."
If you or someone you know was a passenger on the Costa Concordia or you would like more information regarding our investigation, please contact paralegal Maggie Norton or attorneys Gretchen Cappio or Lynn Sarko at (800) 776-6044 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com Rohrback, with offices in Seattle, Phoenix, New York and Santa Barbara, has successfully provided class action representation for over a decade. Its litigators have obtained judgments and settlements on behalf of clients in excess of seven billion dollars.

Asia offers visitors a dynamic selection of urban sophistication, rural tranquility, and seaside vistas to explore. Packing for these diverse destinations that can include days spent lounging on a beach, visiting centuries old temples, and exploring busy cities, in addition to taking into account the region's humid climate is no small feat.
We've put together a checklist of our must-have items and a few suggestions to help you pack everything you need for your vacation through Asia.
Sun Protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses, chapstick with SPF, and a hat are a must. Southeast Asia is warm year round, and even during the winter, visitors can expect lots of sunshine. Hats are also recommended, with a preference for something with a wide brim, which provide more protection than a baseball cap. These items are also for sale at local stores throughout the region, if you lose, run out, or forget anything.
Daily Essentials
A sarong or scarf, wet wipes, and bug spray are top items travelers recommend for daily use when visiting Southeast Asia. A small travel umbrella is also recommended to have on hand for rain showers or to shield you from the sun on hot days.
In respect to local customs, women should plan to cover their shoulders when visiting temples and religious sites. A scarf or sarong is a versatile accessory that can be easily carried and wrapped around your shoulders for extra coverage when needed.
Wet wipes are great to have for bathroom stops, cleaning your hands after stopping to enjoy some of the region's great street food, and as a general way to cool and refresh your skin.
Bug spray is another item travelers prefer to have on hand when exploring temples and more rural areas, especially in the evenings when the mosquitoes are most active.
Plan to bring clothing light in color and fabric to help your skin breath in the warm humid climate. Stay away from dark and heavy materials like polyester. A light jacket or sweater is also advisable for heavily air-conditioned stores and restaurants.
Sandals, flip flops, and lightweight trainers or hiking shoes are ideal for traveling through Southeast Asia. Aim for sturdy comfortable shoes that you can walk long distances in, explore trails around temples, and easily slip on and off. In some regions, shoes are taken off when entering residences, some public places, and religious sites.

Many IMC students participate in employer tuition reimbursement programs and must submit final grades at the end of each term. West Virginia University's Office of the Registrar operates on a standardized timetable which is based on the traditional 16-week semester schedule. Due to the nine-week term structure of the IMC program, confirmation of final student grades can be delayed.
To assist IMC students fulfill the requirements of their employers' tuition reimbursement programs, the IMC program will send a departmental letter to the student's employer or HR representative confirming the student's final grades for an IMC term.
All requests for confirmation letters should be submitted via the IMC website at Final Grade Confirmation Letter Form.
Please submit this form within seven (7) days from the end of each IMC term in which a grade confirmation letter is required. All grade confirmation letters submitted on time will be processed and mailed 12-14 days from the end of a term, once all final grades are submitted to the University by IMC faculty (within 10 days from the end of a term).
Grade letter requests submitted after seven days from the end of a term will be delayed. In addition, no grade confirmation letter will be sent before all IMC final grades have been submitted.

"Prick Me"
"If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge"?
The title of my new podcast comes from a passage in The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. I simply changed the pronoun in an attempt to make it more personal.
The Merchant of Venice is seen by many modern readers and theatregoers as a plea for tolerance. Something appropriate in this day and age of cultural clashes that fall on issues of gender and race and this is what my new podcast is actually about.
Anyway, besides announcing it here, I wanted to show that Apple saw fit to bleep out the title of the podcast.*
First why and second what's the point when the words still exist in the logo? Is it because of the very loose sexual association? It's a very standard verb and isn't as focused in use like the verb 'fuck' for instance. You can't even say, 'prick me' to somebody and have it make sense. So because Apple sees something sexual with it, now everybody needs to do so as well. It's like where Apple decides to tell us what pornography is or isn't in content like here (that's with only a depiction of flesh, there's nothing pornographic about it. It's only because they think they see something pornographic). Or when Apple bans words relating to female anatomy, but not male when it comes to iPad engraving.
I would expect more open mindedness from a company that is now proud of it's many human issues that it's engages in now, (now that Steve Jobs has passed away). I would expect more from a company that has a gay man as its CEO and I would expect more from a company that is located in one of the most liberal places on the planet.
Some fucking tolerance please.
That aside, the new podcast is going to deal with issues of feminism, sexuality, relationships, dating, race and some news critique. The first episode discusses the issue of starting a conversation with these new mobile dating apps, how do we need to greet each other and are the problems of starting a conversation a consequence of the success of playing with these apps like Tinder and OKCupid? Hopefully the perspectives gathered in this series will be engaging and informing.
It's on the iTunes store now, new episodes will be out every week until February at the moment.
*You can still find the podcast using the words 'prick me'.

iPhone 6 camera :-(
The camera in the new IPhone 6 bothers me and this is the ONLY thing about these excellent iPhones that do. It's the one feature that I was really expecting an upgrade for and Apple didn't go all the way.
I had an iPhone 4S after owning the 3GS. The 4S had an eight megapixel camera, then I bought a second hand iPhone 5 here in Hong Kong to tie me over until the iPhone 6 came out, that also has 8 megapixels, I deliberately skipped the iPhone 5S because the camera still hadn't changed and the screen size was the same as the iPhone 5.
"The six, will have everything", I thought. Boom. No.
You can see the differences between the 4S to the 6 below as quoted from wikipedia.
Highlights in red are mine and illustrate new differences between models. iPhone 4S on the left, the iPhone 6 Plus on the far right.
|8 MP photos with 1.4µ pixels,f/2.4, 1080p HD video (30 fps),Infrared cut-off filter, Back-illuminated sensor, face detection,video stabilization, panorama and ability to take photos while shooting videos
|8 MP photos with 1.5µ pixels,f/2.2 aperture, 1080p HD video (30 fps) or 720 HD video slo-mo video at 120 fps, improved video stabilization,True Tone flash, Infrared cut-off filter, Back-illuminated sensor, face detection, panorama, ability to take photos while shooting videos and Burst mode
|8 MP photos with 1.5µ pixels,f/2.2 aperture, 1080p HD video (30 fps) or 720 HD video slo-mo video at 240 fps, True Tone flash, Infrared cut-off filter,Back-illuminated sensor, face detection, panorama, ability to take photos while shooting videos and Burst mode, time-lapse video, phase-detect auto-focus
|8 MP photos with 1.5µ pixels, f/2.2aperture, 1080p HD video (30 fps) or 720 HD video slo-mo video at 240 fps, True Tone flash, Infrared cut-off filter, Back-illuminated sensor, face detection, panorama, ability to take photos while shooting videos and Burst mode, time lapse video, phase-detect auto-focus, optical image stabilisation
Okay, they they did say they updated the sensor, added the optical image stabilisation, updated the video mode, but couldn't they have added at least a 12megapixel camera?
8mp doesn't matter if you didn't want to print your iPhone pictures, if you live only in Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, but I don't, I fancy printing my snaps. I also might want to crop a picture, having more pixels gives me some room to do so.
My hope is they will update the camera in the iPhone 6s as a defining feature. I can't believe they have gone four generations now with the same camera resolution, I refuse to accept they'll do it a 5th time. Then again what can I do? I find myself weighing the extra benefit of the screen size vs the shortcomings of the camera. Which will benefit me more? I'll see.
As a sidenote, I haven't seen any publication point out that the iPhone hasn't had a megapixel bump since the 4S all the way back in 2011!
With regard to the updates. Did they need to make the 4.7″ thinner than the 5.5″ iPhone? What's wrong with keeping it to 7.1mm like the 5.5″ brother? Then both models can have the OIS and better battery life. Why can't the screens be the sole differentiator?
Oddly I don't mind how the lens juts out, everybody is going to slap a case on them anyway. It won't matter that much to many people.
At the same time, wouldn't it have been nice to keep the iPhone 5s up to date along with the new models, giving the iPhone 5s the same makeover? The 4″ screen size is the most popular after all. But maybe they want the attention to be concentrated on the newest models. Maybe that screen size will get an update next year.
Famous Quotes
"No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame". – Rob Malda (Cmdr Taco) with regard to the iPod.
"PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in". – Ed Colligan with regard to the iPhone.
"This watch has no sex appeal. It's too feminine and looks too much like the smartwatches already on the market". – Jean-Claude Biver with regard to the Apple Watch.
Time will always tell, especially with this Apple Watch.
iPad Mini Retina Review
Note: This review, isn't going to go into detail about the iPad and its apps, this post merely serves to illustrate why I bought a new iPad Mini over the iPad Air.
Last year I bought the iPad 4, I would have bought the mini if it wasn't for the fact the mini's screen wasn't a retina screen. I didn't even give the mini much thought back then, other than to say that I would have bought one if the screen didn't show those now out of fashion, computer pixels.
I already own an iPhone 4S and the MacBook Pro with retina screen. I had gotten use to this type of screen so why take a step back?
Jump ahead one year into the tail end of 2013 and Apple release the updated mini, but they love to give us, the consumer, some choice. They did this by updating the larger endowed iPad, cutting down its size and making it thinner and lighter. The weight reduction is quite significant.
While both tablets were out of stock, I played with the demo units in the Apple store. My arms still got tired holding both iPads while reading the web. This was something I didn't think would still happen, obviously the arms weren't as quick to tire while using the Mini. I remember holding the iPad 4 and then having to lean on one side or switch to the other during long sessions. I didn't want a repeat of that.
My biggest worry though was screen size if I purchased the Mini, I felt like I couldn't give up the 9.7 inch screen, would I miss out by going with the 7.9 inch option? Would Paper feel awkward to draw with? Would Baldur's Gate be as immersive on the iPad 4? What about the smaller keyboard?
In the end, my thoughts switched to the discontinued Apple iBook line of laptops.
Back then there were two sizes of laptop and I remember owning the 12 inch version. It was cheaper, held the same amount of storage (with the right upgrade option), the 14 inch was always slightly faster than the 12 inch and to top it off, there was no advantage with the larger screen, they both had the same number of pixels, with the same resolution! Okay, the 14″ had a larger battery, but was it worth the extra weight?
The iPads today can almost be compared in the same way, in fact Apple markets the capabilities of the Mini as being equal to the Air, but just with a smaller screen. If you can deal with that, I would say splurge for the smaller one and opt for more storage.
I did exactly what I'm recommending to you and I can't believe the iPad Mini has twice the processing power and there is 64GB inside this, (that's double compared to my iPad 4) the combination of storage, size and the power present in my hand is simply awesome.
I'm also happy to say I definitely made the right choice, I can't think why I was considering it so much. My gut feeling paid off and this one feels right for what I want to do. Both tablets overall are very portable, but the Mini more so, the experience is just more intimate. The screen on the Air feels slightly more awkward now, awkward in the way you can carry it in your hand, place it around the home or buying an accessory for it that will add even more weight and girth.
The product designer Dieter Rams once said, "less is more" and it certainly feels that way with the iPad Mini.
Review ~ Retina MacBook Pro
I gave myself something less to think about this week.* I purchased the current top of the line Retina MacBook Pro with all the trimmings, 16GB of RAM, 2.7Ghz Quad Core processor and a 750GB SSD. In addition I consider myself lucky to be living in Hong Kong at the moment as this wonderful machine has cost me almost £800 less than it would if I walked into an Apple Store in the UK and handed over my debit card. There is another story behind purchasing this laptop, but I'm saving that for the next episode of JPG podcast.**
I've bought a complete machine, the first time in which I have done so and I don't have to think about upgrading it later, this is it until it dies. I've already joked to friends that this is the last Apple Mac I will ever buy. This is where buying the top of the line is refreshing for me; I don't have to think about any upgrades and the reason why I have given myself less to think about.
I have always bought a laptop with the view to upgrade the battery, memory and the hard disk later on, right at the point when the machine was starting to lag behind my expectations. I always bought the low end model with the capable processor. Purchasing this new computer I can't upgrade has caused me to think about my previous computing experiences; this laptop is different to everything before it and I'm in a different space mentally.
On reflection I found owning those previous laptops bothered me; making an anxious because the constant quest to find upgrades later took up a large portion of my time. Memory was the easiest kind of. I would buy as much as the laptop could handle by going to crucial.com even though the website isn't straightforward, but as a geek I put up with the site in order to get the benefits of more RAM. When it came to the hard disk, I think I went to all the websites that sold them; measuring attributes and prices against one another and then finally settling on one model before a newer one came out and then later buying that one as well. I was also always taking a peek in the SSD section of these websites to see if theprices were worth their asking prices yet.
I remember owning a plastic MacBook a few years back. I upgraded the hard drive three times, going from the stock 80GB drive to a 200GB, a 320GB version and then settled on a 500GB model (all 7200rpm models); more instances than when I owned an actual desktop computer (remember those?). It didn't stop there, I even removed the optical drive and put in another 500GB drive after that! Even further down memory lane, I even went to the effort once of opening up a G3 iBook in order to upgrade the hard disk. For anyone who doesn't know, there were forty screws of different sizes between you and achieving upgrade nirvana with those laptops. Hence the praise Apple received when they made upgrading the MacBook lines easier when they were first announced. Though I think it was to help them more than it was to help us.
Apple have always being difficult in the initial purchasing process; they were always stingy with their laptop configurations. Apple never included enough RAM or the specs of the hard disk were unsatisfactory in the initial price. This forced me and probably many others to choose a costlier model (more profit for Apple) or I would have to upgrade the 'Mac of your dreams' with third party upgrades. The third parties were always cheaper so I always took that option with the acknowledgement that I would be opening up the machine myself. Something else I don't have to do anymore either, that also means less clutter around the house; I owned two difference screwdrivers and other bits and pieces from left over upgrades.
A Different Computing Experience
By owning a Retina MacBook Pro I've lost something that I thought in the past was important to the computing experience. I was always thought I was buying a Mac for the long term, when in fact over a shorter length of time I was spending my personal time looking for these ways to make upgrades; so it wasn't just money I was spending. In my view there is something to be said about owning a sealed up machine because it liberates me from all this. I can just use the machine with no expectations of taking it further technically unless I wanted to buy another external hard drive.***
In the long run, I can envision Apple lifting our burden from buying third party hard disks at some point. What if everything you owned was stored online on iCloud? Imagine a Time Machine backup sitting online with the transfer speed equal to satisfy even the most impatient among us?
Even OS updates, besides the low price is something we don't have to think about anymore. When I updated to Mountain Lion, I remember thinking some games took longer to install. Apple's Gigabit ethernet through Thunderbolt helps, but my point is that an OS install took less time than an application install.
If you've read this far, you've realised this isn't a typical review. I don't really want to talk about the technical aspects beyond the Retina display, but naturally this is a fast and capable machine. All the connectivity options are what I want (especially when there aren't that many, just two USB and Thunderbolt ports really), the speakers have amazing depth to them when you consider how they have been squeezed into the aluminium chassis. The weight and thinness is something to really admire, especially when my previous machine was the 13″ MBP, which was thicker and heavier. Most of my music feels fresh from being freed from the MacBook Pro's tiny speakers. Geekbench results have this new laptop score double over the machine I've replaced. When I re-acquire Aperture and record new episodes of JPG Podcast, I'll be putting it to the performance test. At the moment I haven't had less than 10GB of RAM free, even after opening every page of John Siracusa's Mountain Lion review into its own tab in Safari!
The screen itself is fantastic, the clarity to photographs and text is so sharp even at any resolution above 'Best (Retina)', which takes me to the bit of the screen that actually impresses me more; the ability to change the resolution! I haven't been able to do this since I last owned a CRT monitor, hello 2004. Owning an LCD where you can change the resolution is also something I can't take for granted, I love it!
I've always wanted a laptop that had desktop like performance and everything I would want in the one machine, the monitor really was the last sticking point for me. I never liked external monitors, I can't stand all those wires everywhere. To think I have the same screen real estate as the 17″ MBP that I originally wanted, makes me more than satisfied when it's coupled with the smaller physical size of a thinner 15″ MBP and in some cases the performance capabilities of the MacPro. The resolution at 1920 x 1200 is still sharp at a normal viewing distance.
I have two quibbles related to this machine, one, the font rendering in Safari is a bit weird; refreshing text incorrectly, it was doing it plenty while writing this review. The second quibble is the unusually long wake up time. I hope both of these are fixed in a future update.
I would continue now to further buy laptops like this just for the existential advantages I just described, yes the cost is steep and not for everyone when it comes to Apple products, but what I've described equally applies to say a Lenovo. I know there have been huge articles and discussions about the pros and cons to not owning an Apple Mac you can't upgrade yourself; with a lot of people poo-pooing Apple because of the lack of upgradability after purchase, but if you are planning on buying a new Apple Mac, consider the benefits of this mental space freed up. I'm really enjoying this MacBook Pro more because of the route I took.
* I've managed to sneak in another discussion about minimalism.
** JPG Podcast isn't dead, it's coming back next month. I just have no internet to host shows. I'm borrowing wifi from anywhere at the moment until I get my own data connection.
I've been waiting for Apple to release the Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt cable (as I write this, the online Apple store is just now accepting orders for them, both of my current drives are Firewire 800 (with USB2) and I had to resort to the USB2 to transfer my work onto this machine. Now I have a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, I've realised Thunderbolt can only power one device on this chain I had set up with Firewire 800. Firewire 800 is capable of supplying 45 watts while Thunderbolt only supplies 10 watts. This means I can no longer daisy chain my two portable hard drives. I would need to buy a second cable adapter or constantly unplug and swap each drive between the one adapter to make the two backups. Source.
