Who's behind Prenda Law?
- 9th Circuit judges rip into Prenda Law copyright trolling scheme
- Appeals court: Shell game over, Prenda Law must pay sanctions in full
- Prenda lawyers who sued over "assclown" taunt must pay $12,000 in fees
- Appeals court slams Prenda Law's mass-copyright lawsuit strategy
- Prenda-linked lawyers pulled in $4.4M but now say they're broke
The key players at porn-trolling firm Prenda Law are pressing forward with their new defamation lawsuit against anonymous online critics. Now they've made one of their wildest demands yet: they want an Excel spreadsheet with the IP address of every visitor to the two most prominent troll-fighting blogs, DieTrollDie and Fight Copyright Trolls.
The Prenda defamation suit cites dozens of anonymous comments on those blogs that describe Prenda lawyers in less-than-endearing terms, using terms like "brain-damaged" and "assclowns."
The subpoena was sent to Automattic, the company that owns WordPress, which is the blogging platform for DieTrollDie and Fight Copyright Trolls. It's dated Feb. 25 but was just published yesterday on DieTrollDie.
"Due to the emergency nature of the requested information, it is imperative that your organization responds to the subpoena immediately," writes Prenda lawyer Paul Duffy in a letter accompanying the subpoena.
The anonymous author of DieTrollDie published the subpoena (large PDF) as part of a blog post indicating that he's going to fight it but isn't sure of the results. He expected a specific request for information about the allegedly libelous comments, but he doesn't seem surprised to see, "in true Prenda fashion," an incredibly broad information request.
"I'm working to prevent this," states the author. "I don't know if WordPress will laugh at this overly broad request. As there is a possibility that a release could occur, the public IP address (date/time stamp) could fall into the hands of Prenda. I would expect that they would then try to cross-reference the IP address with their list of alleged BitTorrent infringement IP addresses."
Update: Friday afternoon, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said on Twitter that it will be representing the two blogs as they fight the subpoenas. Automattic has also said it will not comply with the subpoenas.
Many of the key players in the Prenda Law saga have been ordered to come to Judge Otis Wright's courtroom in Los Angeles on Monday. Ars will have a report from the hearing.

Skin Cancer Team
Modern cancer treatment requires the input of multiple types of cancer specialists for developing and applying the best treatment plan individualized for each patient. Diagnostic radiologists and pathologists provide essential information regarding the diagnosis of cancer, the extent of the cancer, and the individual characteristics of each cancer that help to determine the prognosis, the appropriate treatment, and patient's potential reaction to the treatments. Surgeons, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists are the primary treating physicians, often working together to develop a combination of treatments that offer the best outcome for each individual patient. Other physicians specialize in caring for and managing the side effects of the treatment and the cancer that the patient might experience through pain management, physical fitness and rehabilitation, mental and spiritual well being, natural medicine, and nutrition.
At Swedish, we create a team of cancer physicians appropriate for each individual patient to optimize our patients' treatment plan and provide the very best outcome possible. The team works together in coordinating the diagnostic procedures, reviewing the patient's unique situation, prescribing and delivering the appropriate treatments, and following the patient post treatment. This team approach provides our patients with the opinion and expertise of the very best physicians.
Medical Oncologists
Medical oncologists are physicians who specialize in treating cancer with a variety of cancer-fighting drugs and treatment protocols, including chemotherapy.

My name is Mike and I'm an alcoholic. My drinking c.v.- 48 yrs. age. I started drinking very young. I danced with AA for a few years in early twenties. I abandoned AA until last week. I am back and happy to be so. Sober seven days now.
Step One- No problemo. Step Two- I've read and re-read step two. I understand much of what is said, but it seems to me that ultimately, AA's goal is for every member to believe in God- Ultimately. It states there can be 'transitional beliefs', and I can dig it. It says just take it easy and it will come.
Here is my question and problem. (Let me preface- I feel blessed and relieved [hence my moniker] to be back in AA. I have every belief that I will stay in AA and will not drink again. I can feel it in my bones, because I know that I cannot personally accept any more degradation of my spirit. I could go on, but suffice it to say that I am happier than I've been in 30 years; just because I have a week under my belt and know I will never go back to that life.)
I do not believe in any sort of "God" in any organizational religious sense.
I do believe in ancient aliens that created us. (Call me nuts- I don't care. Read "The God's of Eden" and then talk to me.)
I do believe that we humans are endowed with a spiritual essence in each of us that is powerful in its life force.
One could say, "Well, there you go! You have your higher power! Yea!"
My problem is that while they are indeed a 'higher power' in a scientific sense, they are not a higher power in any other sense.
Ergo Sum, these Greys (Aliens) are not worthy of my veneration. They are not WORTHY to be prayed to and sought after for strength. They created humans to work and be slaves, in a sense, to their domination of this world. Again, read The God's of Eden lest you think me mad. I tell you this- there is logic and fact and correlation of common sense in that book on a level far greater than the bible and tales of God, or Yahweh, or Allah, or Shiva, or Zeus.....they are all the same for humans- answers to riddles of existence that change according to geographical cultures. I ask you this- Does a burning bush and a parted sea...wine to water and a virgin birth......a staff that turns into a snake, a man swallowed by a whale.....a firestorm of brimstone destroying cities, one basket of fish and bread feeding thousands.....a healing of the blind and a resurrection from death sound logical and feasible to you? This is obviously where faith comes in...this is why one must have FAITH to believe in God.
Anyway, I digress....if what I know to be a higher power is not worthy of that honorific, then is it feasible for me to employ myself as my higher power? More specifically, what I want for my higher power is the "idea of a sober, happy secure self, or 'me'". I feel this is at odds with the required (and I agree totally) humility needed to succeed in AA.
My conundrum is that if I have myself as my higher power then I am not submitting my will to anything other than myself.
But at the same time, I feel this is my only option to get through step two.
I would be grateful for any thought anyone might wish to share with me on this subject. Please bear in mind I've read step two and three many times over and know all the arguments in there. I'm on this forum specifically because there are no easy answers found relating to my particular belief system (mainly the fact that what I know to be a higher power is not worthy to be prayed to). I need help on this. I'm not going to drink either way- my heart is strong and my mind is firm and my will power is null and void- I KNOW I am powerless over alcohol and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
It WOULD be nice to solve this riddle of belief, though. Thanks in advance.

NEW CASTLE, Del. - - The streak continues.
Today the doubleheader sweep was dominated by the pitching staff, as the Wilmington University softball team took care of Felician College on Wednesday at Asbury Field to extend its program best winning streak to 12 consecutive games.
The Wildcats (16-15, 8-0 CACC) needed extra innings to take care of Felician (4-28, 2-10 CACC), 1-0, in eight innings before getting on the board early and cruising to the game two victory, 7-1. The 12-game win streak is the longest in the program since Wilmington became an NCAA Division II sanctioned team in 2005. The Wildcats had win streaks of nine straight games in 2011 and 2009.
The bats were slow to come around in the first game, as the Wildcats left the bases loaded in the second and fourth innings and had a runner thrown out at the plate to end the bottom of the seventh and force extra innings. In all, the Wildcats left 14 runners on base, but they fell on deaf ears as pitcher Katie Warrington was up to the task in game one.
Warrington threw her third consecutive complete game and her fourth shutout of the season. She has only allowed one run in the past 28 innings pitched, dating back to March 10. She struck out nine Felician batters, giving up four hits and one free pass to improve to 8-6 on the year.
As Warrington kept the Wildcats in the game, the offense began to stir in the seventh inning. With two outs and the bases empty, Kinsley Parker and Jillian Stafford extended the inning by each reaching on an error. The Wildcats put a first and third play on as flex player Warrington took off from first trying to draw the throw. The throw came to the shortstop as Parker took off for home and the winning run, but Felician responded quickly to gun Parker out at the plate.
After Warrington set the Golden Falcons down in the order in the eighth, Chelsea Botsch reached on another error to put the winning run on base. Rachel Painter moved Botsch to third on a single up the middle and advanced to second on the throw. Pinch hitter Kristin Garvin walked to load the bases before Shelby Thompson slapped the ball the other way for a single, bringing home Botsch with the game-winning run.
Felician starter Kristin Tenwolde gave up eight hits and struck out four in the game one loss, allowing the one unearned run.
If game one was a pitcher's duel, game two was for the hitters. Wilmington banged out 10 hits in game two, including two extra base hits.
Stafford provided all the offense that game-two starter Danielle Griffin would need in the top of the first inning. With two outs and Christin Headley and Brooke Berger on base, Stafford hammered a ball that cut through the wind and landed over the fence in left for her team-leading third home run of the season and the 3-0 lead.
The Wildcats added single runs in the second and third innings to make it 5-0 and allow Griffin to go to work. Headley worked a two-out, full-count, bases loaded walk to force in a run in the second, while Stafford welcome new Felician pitcher Tori Bradburn with a leadoff double in the third. With Stafford on third, Painter hit a swinging bunt to no-man's land between the pitcher and third, allowing Stafford to scurry home for the 5-0 lead.
Berger completed the scoring two a two-run single through the left side in the sixth, scoring Jess Hassman and Thompson for the 7-1 lead.
Griffin gave up an unearned run in the fourth, but threw her second complete game of the season, giving up six hits while striking out three batters. She is now 4-3 on the season.
The Wildcats will put their win streak to the test again on Thursday as they head to Philadelphia University for another Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader. Philadelphia is 5-20 overall and 3-9 in the CACC after dropping a pair to Bloomfield on Tuesday. The first pitch of game one is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.

The windows drivers for G35 "supports" DX10. So I'm guessing that OpenGL 2.1 should work...
Hmm, seems that upgrading to a newer mesa might be interesting
OK, that's cool that iDTech4 games work fine on G45, we need to get the same level of support for the ATI driver too
Oh, I almost forgot, which renderer is the idTech4 engine using?
Paraquoting, but there is multiple renderers implemented for that engine:
- ARB (no-shaders)
- GF3 (GeForce 3 / GeForce 4 non-mx)
- R200 (Radeon 8500 - 9200)
- GFFX (Geforce FX 5000 series)
- ARB2 (the complete OpenGL 2 compliant renderer)
I am particularly interested that the ARB2 renderer works correctly.

The New School for Social Research
The New School > The New School for Social Research NSSR > Dissertation Pro-Seminar
Apply Online | Contact
The aim of this seminar is to provide advanced graduate students in the Dept. of Sociology an opportunity to spend the entire semester drafting and revising copies of their field statements, dissertation prospectus and grant applications to external funding agencies (i.e. SSRC, NEH). During the first few weeks of the course, students will have an opportunity to study-analyze field statements, doctoral proposals and grant fellowships from graduate students and faculty members in our dept. During the next several weeks we have invited grant officers from several New York City based foundations to discuss the internal, behind the scenes workings of the grant evaluation process. During the remainder of the semester, students will take turns presenting and commenting on each others' work; by the end of the course, each member of the workshop is expected to have a final version of their statement, prospectus or grant application completed. Along the way we will be also spending a couple of meetings reflecting on the relationship between 'author' and 'text,' that is, on writing practices as an attempt to gain intellectual 'author-ity,' as well as some of the fundamental differences between critical, reflexive scholarship (as exemplified in the work of M. Walzer, P. Bourdieu, L. Boltansky and other influential scholars) and other forms of academic writing.

Has anyone got it to work in gentoo ?
Trying to run the Lightsmark demo on gentoo (amd64).
I have unmasked and installed freeimage.
When trying to run it I get
Lightsmark (Run 1 of 1)
./backend: error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any ideas ?
p.s - works fine on opensuse 11 (amd64)
Has anyone got it to work in gentoo ?
Jupp, works nicely here. Install the needed dependencies and it will work...
cf http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216656
Just installed the gentoo ebuild - the same things happens
./backend: error while loading shared libraries: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Its only the lightmark demo that does this
Any ideas?
Yes, you are missing a dependency for this test!
Without media-libs/freeimage the test can not run, it is as simple as this!For get-all-deps you will currently need to unmask media-libs/freeimage. A good
solution for this is getting the ebuild from bug #213969 and simply use this
version since it seems to be fine. Just unmask it in
/etc/portage/package.unmask and that's it.
I do have media-libs/freeimage installed....
- Is it worth me trying to get the latest version from http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html ?
morgan@localhost ~ $ emerge -pv media-libs/freeimage
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] media-libs/freeimage-3.9.3-r1 USE="-doc" 0 kB
You should maybe run revdep-rebuild. That is libgomp.so.1 is part of ggg 4.3.1 over here. So basically I assume that something in your system is broken. Here is my output of equery belongs libgomp.so.1:
Code:# equery belongs libgomp.so.1 [ Searching for file(s) libgomp.so.1 in *... ] sys-devel/gcc-4.3.1-r1 (/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.1/libgomp.so.1 -> libgomp.so.1.0.0) sys-devel/gcc-4.3.1-r1 (/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.1/32/libgomp.so.1 -> libgomp.so.1.0.0)

About the Film
For a nation that proudly declared it would leave no child behind, America continues to do so at alarming rates. Despite increased spending and politicians' promises, our buckling public education system, once the best in the world, routinely forsakes the education of millions of children. Oscar®-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) reminds us that education "statistics" have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of Waiting for "Superman."
As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying "drop-out factories" and "academic sinkholes," methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems. However, embracing the belief that good teachers make good schools, Guggenheim offers hope by exploring innovative approaches taken by education reformers and charter schools that have—in reshaping the culture—refused to leave their students behind.
Take Action
What kids are taught in one state is different from what kids are taught in another, better preparing some students for college and the job market than their peers. Stand For Children wants all U.S. governors to commit to implement the Common Core Standards so that all high school graduates will be ready to compete in the global marketplace.
2 Ways to Take Action
No matter where you fall in the education reform debate, the best way to get involved is at the local level. Share your views with the people who can make a difference in your community: your local school board.

Waiting for "Superman" : How We Can Save America's Failing Public Schools
The American public school system is in crisis, failing millions of students, producing as many drop-outs as graduates, and threatening our economic future. By 2020, the United States will have 123 million high-skill jobs to fill—and fewer than 50 million Americans qualified to fill them.
Educators, parents, political leaders, business people, and concerned citizens are determined to save our educational system. Waiting for "Superman" offers powerful insights from some of those at the leading edge of educational innovation, including: Bill and Melinda Gates, Geoffrey Canada, Michelle Rhee, Randi Weingarten, Bill Strickland, Eric Schwarz, Jay Mathews, Eric Hanushek, Davis Guggenheim and Lesley Chilcott.
Waiting for "Superman" is an inspiring call for reform and includes special chapters that provide resources, ideas, and hands-on suggestions for improving the schools in your own community as well as throughout the nation. For parents, teachers, and concerned citizens alike, Waiting for "Superman" is an essential guide to the issues, challenges, and opportunities facing America's schools.

Waiting For "Superman" was in theaters in 2010, but that doesn't mean the movement to

'Nothing short of miracle' for man who escaped gas explosion
Decades of military and law enforcement service had Jim Hallem in many hairy situations throughout his life. But nothing he experienced as a soldier or police officer could prepare the 78 year old for what happened to him last week.Taking a break from clipping his grass, Hallem left his Dell Rapids home in his Ford Explorer Tuesday, June 10 about 11 a.m. to run an errand when the engine stalled just before he turned onto the street. When he tried to restart the vehicle, the ignition sparked a large explosion that sent flames shooting as high as 30 feet into the air."I was in the dead center of that big fire ball," Hallem said, recalling the events of Tuesday morning when a leaking gas line caught fire beneath his vehicle. "I had to get out because that heat would suck the oxygen out (of the car) and I wouldn't have anything to breath so I would have passed out. I would have been stuck in there."Crews with Goldenwest, Dell Rapids' Internet, cable and telephone provider, were installing fiber-optic cable in the neighborhood of 10th Street and State Avenue when they struck a gas line. The fire broke out before MidAmerican Energy – it was the energy provider's gas line that got punctured – and emergency responders secured the area."Everyone I've talked to said it's nothing short of a miracle," said Hallem, who escaped the incident with minor injuries to the right side of his face and ear.After arriving on scene, fire fighters from Dell Rapids, Baltic and Colton doused the flames with water and continued to let it burn until MidAmerican Energy could get the gas flow stopped. Because the leak came from a main line, there was no easy way to stop or immediately slow the leak.MidAmerican Energy personnel stopped the flow of gas around 3 p.m. by pinching the line on both sides of the punctured area."Once the gas was pinched off repairs were made to the line," said Abby Bottenfield, spokesperson with MidAmerican Energy.Crew worked through Tuesday night and Wednesday to restore utilities to the neighborhood. Hallem said representatives from both Goldenwest and MidAmerican Energy had contacted him since he narrowly escaped the inferno that destroyed his vehicle and a plethora of tools he had inside. The companies, he said, assured him that his losses will be covered and his medical bills will be paid. In the meantime, an investigation is being done to determine which company is at fault.It's not clear if the gas line was properly marked before Goldenwest's subcontractor began digging."I don't know definitively that we can answer any of that because we just don't know at the moment," said Denny Law, CEO and general manager for Goldenwest.Bottenfield declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.

re: Finally joined the master race Posted by LSU Coyote on 1/26 at 9:26 am to Azazello You always skip the first 2 from right to left on that header. So Power at the top and right below it Reset Then again from right to left after the Power/Reset Negative LED, Postive LED - TOP Negative HDD LED, Positive LED - BOTTOM For the SSD/HDD question. They are both SATA drives. The controller is both SATA controllers. They use the exact same power cable and SATA controller. Make sure you hook the SSD to the first SATA header.

Posted by Azazello on 1/26 at 10:34 am to puffulufogous I really like it so far. I am having a bit of a hickup right now. I am getting the error code A2 on the debug, which the manual is telling me is "IDE Detect" Doing some googling right now and it seems like a lot of people had to completely unplug everything and start over Reply Back to Top |
Fixed it Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSU Coyote on 1/26 at 10:56 am to Azazello sounds like memory issue. I would have to look up your codes. Follow these steps: 1. Turn system off 2. Take all RAM out except A1 3. Clear CMOS 4. Set XPM Profile1 5. Repeat steps 1-4 adding another stick of RAM until all 4 are installed. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by LSU Coyote on 1/26 at 10:57 am to LSU Coyote You know how to clear CMOS? There should be a button on the back of the MOBO. If not, you will have to move the jumper over. I can't really search for that MOBOs details ATM. Give me a few to get home. ETA: Nvm I see you fixed it. If the system restarts 2-3 times when coming from a cold boot, follow the steps I listed above. Also could be that you do not have a HDD connected to the first SATA port.

Posted by HMTVBrian2 on 1/26 at 12:40 pm to VABuckeye I just put one together myself, as all I had was a laptop that can't really do much. I didn't go overboard, ended up ~$710.

Joanie F.United StatesMessy CleanupAt first I waited too long to remove so it was dry & brittle. Then I didn't wait long enough and it was gooey. A few times it came off ok. But the major bummer was in cleanup. I had this stuff stuck under my nails, over my nails, bits and pieces all over my legs & underarms. It does not come off easily.

The thing I found out about this is, I got better results using a toothpick for the arch of the brow, the sticks are too big for this area. Second, only do small area's at a time on the legs, and third, be bloody patient!.

AimeeHawaiiTakes Practice, But You Get Salon Results!I bought this in January 2011 ($48 on amazon back then for the warmer and wax), and it's been about 8 months & I have used it almost every month. When I first got it, it made quite a bit of mess and it took me a good 2+ hours. Nowadays I am much more comfortable using it, and I can now do it under an hour :) This jar also lasts a long time! I had mine since January (been doing a brazillian wax on myself once a month) and still have more than half of it left! Doing just a bikini wax is really easy, but I found waxing the front of my pubic area the most painful, which is normal since that's the most sensitive area. As for the "inside", it's not painful but rather difficult to see if you aren't too flexible, so I gotta use a big mirror. This product is good, but definitely takes some practice. I found also that holding the skin tight and taught will make removal easier. I want to do laser removal in the future, so this is helping me save money from the salons! Tips: -Keep the wax at a low temperature on the warmer, its better if its not too runny and almost tacky consistency -Wear gloves so the wax doesn't get all over your hands, although hard wax comes off easily you're bound to get some on yr hands during the process. -The regular wax (like the light pink one), is easy to use for the bikini, underarms, and legs, but I wouldn't recommend it for the Brazilian wax because it gets messy in large amounts. - Wear SOCKS! the first time I used it, I spilled a lot on the floor. :( and it got on my feet. :( - Put old towels or newspapers on the floor! (see above) Hope it helps!posted Aug 14, 2011Link to this post

Adapting UI to iOS 7: The Side Menu
One of the most common implementations of menu views has been the "side drawer," "basement," or "side menu" made popular in apps such as Facebook and Path.
When a user taps the "Hamburger" icon to open a side menu, the main screen slides to the right (or left in some implementations) to reveal another screen below.
This works well in iOS 6 and earlier operating systems because the status bar exists in a 20pt tall area isolated from the rest of the application. In iOS 7, the status bar is overlaid on the screen below it. In other words, the app and the status bar are no longer two separate worlds, as was seen in iOS 6. This change utilizes more of the screen space but presents an interesting problem when implementing a side menu.
The Problem
Because of this new setup, designers have had to come up with a way to show a top-level navigation menu without cutting the status bar up with a layer stacked on top of another layer. If developers were to implement the sidebar in the old style they would have a vertical break through the status bar information.
Our designers at Two Toasters first encountered this challenge while helping a client, Luvocracy, redesign their app for iOS 7 before it had publicly launched. Many of the design decisions made for the iOS 6 version were easily carried over or satisfied iOS 7 design guidelines. The side menu, however, was uncharted iOS 7 territory, with no clear-cut right or wrong approach.
We saw a unique opportunity to find a clever way of implementing the side menu
Despite having no defined solution, we saw a unique opportunity to find a clever way of implementing the side menu. Working with Luvocracy, we went back to the drawing board and gathered inspiration from the design community and Apple's native UI elements in iOS 7.
The Inspiration
The first places we turned to were design communities like Dribbble. Before iOS 7 reached the general public, designers on Dribble were playing around with side menu implementation ideas. Our designers stumbled upon a few they felt were sleek and also made good use of the many of the attributes of iOS 7, such as layering and blurring. Those projects include an iOS 7 style inspired menu from Creativedash and a Side Menu concept from Jayson Lane demonstrating layering and translucency.
While Apple didn't directly demonstrate how to implement a side menu in iOS 7, there were a few cues we picked up on in their native UI and incorporated into our final design. Namely, the zooming transition of the side menu—a transition seen all over iOS 7, from the App Switcher, to the home button, to the launching of apps.
Our Solution
From the pieces of inspiration mentioned above, we landed on the following design for the side menu.
Using an objective-C library we created named TWTSideMenuViewController (subsequently open sourced on Github), we solved the side menu animation problem by moving and scaling the main view down and away from the status bar. We also improved the scaled down view by thinking of the menu and the main view as a single view with both of them in the same visual plane. In other words, we changed the viewport to focus on different aspects of the application as if zooming in or out like the new iOS 7 app switcher.
Other Solutions
While we can't speak for the inspiration behind other solutions, we can share some notable alternatives we found in apps updated for iOS 7. Ones we took particular note of included American Airlines, Foursquare, Mailbox, Kindle, and Vesper—all of which can be seen in action in the following video:
American Airlines
The American Airlines app follows fairly similar patterns to the Luvocracy app, but differs in how the screens animate back over top of the side menu and the speed at which it animates overall. Depending on what screen you are on before, a different animation will occur. When selecting a screen that is above your last one, the screen will animate down onto the view, likewise for an item below the current screen in the list, the screen will animate up onto the screen. The Luvocracy animation was designed to animate like a camera moving the point of view in and out, while the American Airlines app was designed as a shrinking animation.
For Foursquare the app fades out from behind the status bar and the sliding menu animates separately. Essentially, it doesn't add anything new, instead forcing the old style to work for iOS 7.
In Mailbox the app moves the status information completely off the screen and pushes the side menu all the way to the top. An interesting solution, but maybe not the best one, as it momentarily removes all status information from the screen and may be frowned upon by Apple as it may need to access things unavailable in the public API.
Kindle had one of the more interesting solutions we came across. When accessing the menu, the sidebar slides above the main layer in the form of a glass overlay. This certainly seems inspired by Apple's navigation to the Control Center and Notification Center in iOS7. Overall, Kindle is a great representation of a third-party app sticking to Apple's guidelines. While we all love this approach, the designers had to be careful and make sure their design had a consistently dark background for the status bar to overlay.
The Vesper app's sidebar animates very much the same way most apps did in iOS 6— the app remains behind the status bar. It doesn't obscure the information on the status bar, but perhaps isn't the ideal solution given the visual break in the status bar area.
In Conclusion
As you can see, there are numerous solutions to the implementation of the side menu in iOS 7. If you are working on an iOS 7 app and thinking about including a side menu, I hope you found inspiration in some of the apps mentioned. Please share your experiences designing for iOS 7 in the comments below.

Apple does not recommend Hamburger side menus. Tabs are still the best solution. Why: 1. That people who use their app don't switch to different sections very frequently when they use this menu. 2. It takes at least twice as many taps to change sections. Something that should be very easy and fluid is made more difficult. 3. And finally, the downside of being able to show a lot of options is that you can show a lot of options. https://medium.com/design-philosophies/apple-and-hamburgers-a17e4099fada https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014/#211-video
I agree with cj in that hamburger menus can be done well and they can be done poorly, regardless of OS. The issues Rob points out are really usability issues looked at in isolation. You have to look at the overall experience you are trying to design and then judge whether the hamburger menu helps or degrades that experience.
To Rob's points:
1. Infrequent switching of sections might be a good thing if the sections in the hamburger menu are for infrequent use cases (like cj said). Who cares if they're not accessing the Settings every day?
2. As far as twice as many taps... This goes with the previous point, if the users aren't accessing the items in the menu often, why does it matter? You have to weigh "twice as many taps" (a 2 year old can tap twice) against cluttering the UI with options seldom used (it's so painful when apps have too many options).
3. And showing a lot of options can be bad, but that's not a characteristic of the hamburger menu itself. The designer can put 2 items in the menu or 20 or 200 or 0. That's a different issue altogether.
Whenever people judge design decisions to be wrong because they break Android or iOS interface guidelines, I basically say that if you are following a rigid book of rules to design your UI, odds are you aren't thinking about the user experience. You're basically letting Apple or Android dictate your app's user experience with a template they created without ever having seen your app. I know this isn't what Rob is suggesting, it's just a side thought. Great artists learn the rules of their art well and once they've developed mastery, they begin to break the rules strategically to produce great art. If you are just following rules, chances are you are not creating great art.
The argument against the hamburger menu is all well and good, but it can't be a knee jerk reflex response to all situations. There are some situations where I believe the 'hamburger' works:
If you don't need to provide access to all capabilities at the same level, it can make sense to 'hide' some of them rather than expose them at the same level as other primary functions, using up real estate. If an app has one primary goal, but some items which might need occasional setting or tweaking, I like using the hamburger icon. For example in some camera apps...99% of my time is spent just taking a picture...but if I want a special effect, I'm left trying to figure out the clever way the designer hid the menu, IF options are even there. The hamburger, like it or not, has become a fairly pervasive and understandable location to find more 'stuff' in an app, and I'd expect to find 'more' in there.
Next is when a number of high level options are available, but once in an option a user is likely to spend most of their time interacting there...it's unlikely they will even want to change high level tasks very often, if at all. Their goal is one task, they want to go in and get it done. To get those lower level tasks done, contextual navigation within the task becomes available. Showing both tabs and contextual navigation suddenly uses up quite a bit of real estate.
Finally, another situation where I've found it useful it for apps which need to flexibly scale. If users have varying permissions and are granted varying numbers of tasks, I have found the ability to grow or shrink a list (under the slider menu) easier than trying to define all the posssible permutations of tabs within a tab bar...which might end up with 1 or 10 functions on it, depending on user permissions.
So in general the hamburer icon isn't a great choice when all tasks are equal in an app or RWD page or of you want to encourage exploration around the app, but in some situations, I'd argue for keeping it as an option in the toolbox.
I have seen so many terms used for this form of navigation - it's starting to get extremely confusing.
I've never heard of a "basement" or "side drawer". The most common term I see used (and the one that probably best describes it) is "off canvas" navigation. Difficult to confuse and not in any way mistakenly related to furniture.
As for the Icon, "Hamburger" is probably the most commonly used term in the community, closely followed by "Navicon".
Lovely article, I really like the design you've chosen in the end and its great to see the research you've done. Let's just stop all the silly terms we're throwing around to describe something that in fact is a very simple approach to navigation.
I personally find the side menu's pretty annoying. A lot of the time when scrolling down I grab te screen to close to the edge and the side menu pops up. 90% of the time im unsin an app i use the up/down scroll and not any side menu's, seems pretty illogic to dedicate 10% of screen touch space on eifher side to these menu's.
How did this design perform in user testing, and have you received any feedback since launch that would impact the next version of the design?
I'm the author of ECSlidingViewController, a popular open source solution for side menus on iOS. The latest version for iOS 7 supports custom transitions, and I implemented some of the examples from this article.
See the examples here: https://github.com/ECSlidingViewController/ECSlidingViewController/tree/master/Examples/TransitionFun
I'd have to agree with Emmanuel on this, but not because of the reason he stated.. although we are probably thinking about it the same way. The zoom out method is currently the navigational paradigm Apple is using for fast app switching, or to close apps (you can drag the tile with an "upward" swipe to close the app, or you can close (2) apps with a 2-finger upward swipe.. or even (3) apps with a (3) finger upward swipe after fast app switching is triggered by a double tap on the home button). Because Apple is using this feature in this way, it would not make sense to use that feature for in-app navigation. It not the same as saying.. "In mail Apple uses the < "Label" to go back so I can use < "Label" to go back in my app. That is in-app navigation.
I have my own preferences of how to resolve this, which does not involve using a menu animating from the left or right. In my opinion, Facebook's UI has taken many steps backwards. They added some cool functionality with the chat/drag/close feature but messed it up with their left/right slide menu system. Their latest UI corrected the left/right menu issue (somewhat), but the navigation at all corners is not the most elegant UI for a mobile device. It's now too complicated with buttons all around the screen. I have found myself having to re-train and re-learn the app to find some menus/sections...
With all due respect, I think the solution you have put forward is not very graceful, even next to Apple's whacked idea of taking the status bar information out of sight - while, to me, the solution used in the Vesper app is about the most convenient compromise I can think of.
This to say tho, Apple's use of the Z index should not be used for anything but a very high-level guideline, their own use of it varies a lot and isn't consistent. Furthermore, it's almost as if they put that forward because it's pretty, but there's no consensus on how to use it.
My first reaction to this proposed solution is that while I do think it's visually appealing (that GIF example is pretty sleek), the UX is somewhat disjointed. The separation of body content from the menu (primary nav items in their example) is too vast. The delight of a side menu, in my opinion, is having the safety and convenience of additional control (navigation), without departing from the content body; I feel this approach is decapitating the navigation.
The use of depth in iOS7 is appropriate in the context of folders for example, where it conveys a hierarchy – grouped apps are within or "below" their group label. I'm not convinced that an app lives "inside" the navigation, but rather, I see navigation as a filter or fast-track to something in an app or site. It can accompany (and on the web usually sits at the top for convenience), but shouldn't necessarily supersede content.
The Foursquare and Kindle examples provided are more agreeable to me. I'll have to try out American Airlines or any other free app that has this spacey side menu to really decide, but my UX gut tells me this is a little too much exploration risk.
Id argue that the best alternative is the one that Vesper uses.
The small break is nothing but layers intersecting in Z-space, which is completely fine with the OS design paradigm.
The zoom out version that you seem to like is flat out wrong. Why? Well if you see the the app as a part of the OS context - the user usually zooms into a folder and then then zooms into an app. The zoom out navigation first of all zooms the wrong direction (out, instead of in) and then presents a menu in a space that is above (in terms of Z-index) the app itself.
Example flow:
1. Open folder (Zoom in)
2. Start app (Zoom in)
3. Press navigation (Zoom out)
I find this confusing and unnatural because the spatial flow is broken.
The three planes that a user navigates through are:
2. Folder
3. App
The zoom out navigation makes the user feel he/she is somewhere between the folder/OS and the app.

I am a conultant for a direct sales/home shows company that features kitchen products. Our company offers a mini version of our catalog designed to be mailed. Many of our consultants - myself included - have started using these great labels to write the invitation postcard information (host's name, address, date and time of the party, etc.) customizing for each party. When preparing the labels, we leave the top 1/2" blank. Then we cover the pretty product picture on the left side of the mini catalog with the label, folding the top 1/4" over the open edge of the mini-catalog. This saves time and money, by sealing the catalog closed (without buying "catalog mailing circles")and eliminating the need for an envelope. Putting the mini catalog into guests hands has greatly increase outside order sales. The quality of these labels is great, they effectively cover the image below the labels without "bleed through" images appearing and they are heavy-duty enough to keep the mini-catalog pages together so that they arrive intact and undamaged.
I have also used these great labels for homemade gift labels on items such as "Gifts in a Jar", Jellies & Jams, homebrewed beers & wines.
Also, these work very well as labels for storage bins: I print labels for each member of the family and for general catagories such as "Christmas" and "Halloween." Then there is still lots of room on these large labels to handwrite a list of specific items that are in this tote. It makes finding the bin with the tree skirt or the pumpkin carving kit so much easier to find!

I use this to label corrugated cartons in storage with a bar code system. The label does not stay flat, the edges curl up and I have to use tape to keep the label on the carton. This defeats the purpose since it makes double work on our part (stick label, tape the label). I use other Avery labels and so far have not had a problem with them. I believe this problem started for us when the blockout feature was added.

Pirates ask Liriano to avoid letdown against Rockies
Lefty opposes De La Rosa, who eyes series win at PNC Park
Even before the first pitch of the series, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle knew three games against the Rockies could turn into a trap series after his team took four of five in a critical divisional set with the Cardinals.
The Rockies showed Hurdle's forewarning could come true, taking the opener Friday night to rescue them from a four-game losing streak that had their playoff hopes fading into the rearview mirror.
They have another chance to gain ground in the National League West and Wild Card races Saturday.
"This team can jump up and bite you," said Hurdle, who managed the Rockies from 2002-09. "We're going to face the three best starters they have, and they had three starters in the NL lineup for the All-Star Game. They can be electric offensively. If [Carlos Gonzalez] is not available, that's something we'll try to capitalize on."
But the Pirates could not have picked a better starter for Saturday's game than Francisco Liriano to help avoid another letdown.
Liriano continues to be one of the biggest surprises for the Pirates, recovering from an ugly start to the second half by allowing just one run and six hits over his past two outings. The southpaw has surrendered one or no earned runs in 10 of his 15 starts this year.
Colorado's lineup should be closer to full strength, as Gonzalez entered Friday's game as a late substitute and took his first at-bat since Wednesday, when he strained his right middle finger.
Opposite Liriano, fellow lefty Jorge De La Rosa will look to rebound from one of his toughest outings of the year. De La Rosa gave up five runs in five innings in a 9-8 loss to the Braves on Monday, the first of four Rockies losses in Atlanta.
"It was one of those games," De La Rosa said afterward. "I tried to compete all game, but I didn't have good results. They scored a lot of runs for me, but I didn't do my job."
A singular bright spot in an otherwise trying start was that De La Rosa said he was not bothered by a nagging thumb injury that had pained him for more than a month.
Rockies: Dickerson finds his groove
When Rockies manager Walt Weiss slotted Corey Dickerson into the three-hole Friday for the first time in his Major League career, it was a clear sign of his marked offensive improvement.
Dickerson tore the cover off the ball in Triple-A, but struggled to translate that success to the Majors after his late June callup, hitting .212 and driving in just two runs in the first 15 games of his big league career. But since returning to the Rockies on July 27, Dickerson has fared much better, going 7-for-16 (.438) with a homer and two RBIs in seven games.
He finished 2-for-4 with two singles and a run scored Friday, giving him a hit in three consecutive games.
Pirates: Making every hit count
The Pirates smacked four doubles, including two from second baseman Neil Walker, in Friday night's loss to extend their streak of games with an extra-base hit to 49.
That beat out the team's previous season high of 48 games with at least one extra-base hit, which stretched from April 7 to May 29. While pitching has carried Pittsburgh to the top of the NL Central, its offense has an extra-base hit in 106 of 109 games this year.
Center fielder Andrew McCutchen has been a key piece of that offensive surge, responsible for one double Friday and now hitting .358 with 20 RBIs in his last 25 home games.
Worth noting
• While his numbers are slightly better at Coors Field, De La Rosa is 4-4 with a 3.67 ERA on the road this season.
• With a lefty on the mound, Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata should return to the Pirates' lineup Saturday. Tabata is just 3-for-35 over his last 16 games.
