Seals (印, in, English TV: Hand signs) are used to perform many ninjutsu, genjutsu, and other secret arts other than taijutsu. The exact amount of chakra necessary to perform a technique is manipulated through hand seals.[1] There are different sequences of hand seals for every technique, requiring memorisation.
While techniques may require a number of hand seals to work, a skilled ninja can use less or even one to perform the same technique. An example of this is the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which requires a total of 44 hand seals to activate.[2] Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, only needed to use one hand seal to complete the technique, a testament to his skill.[3] In fact, by Part II, Sasuke Uchiha has managed to master the Chidori to the point of not needing a single hand seal to invoke it and could use Fire Release techniques with only one hand seal.
Although rare, it is possible for a shinobi to be able to do hand seals with just one hand. The only shinobi seen so far capable of this are Haku and Guren.
[show]Basic Hand Seals
There are twelve basic seals, each one named after an animal of the Chinese zodiac.
- Bird (酉, Tori)
- Boar (亥, I)
- Dog (戌, Inu): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with the movie only Ice Release and with Danzō's Wind Release.
- Dragon (辰, Tatsu)
- Ox (丑, Ushi)
- Tiger (寅, Tora): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with Fire Release.[4]
- Snake (巳, Mi): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with Earth Release[5] and with Wood Release.
- Rat (子, Ne): This hand seal is commonly affiliated with the special Shadow Techniques of the Nara clan.
- Horse (午, Uma)
- Monkey (申, Saru)
- Hare (卯, U)
- Ram (未, Hitsuji)
Other Hand Seals
Besides the twelve basic hand seals, there are unique hand seals used for certain techniques. These hand seals are rarely seen, and can be considered unique to specific techniques.
Seal of Confrontation
The Seal of Confrontation (対立の印, Tairitsu no In), which looks like a half-tiger/ram, is the symbol of combat and is a universal sign of engagement between shinobi. It represents half of a seal that might be used to activate a ninjutsu. This motion is often used to concentrate chakra, and many shinobi are seen initiating simple, basic techniques as well as few complex ones after making this seal. Deidara also often used this when he detonated his explosive clay and Sai used it for his Super Beast Imitating Drawing. Madara Uchiha's and Hashirama Senju's statues at the Valley of the End are both forming the Seal of Confrontation whilst facing each other.
Seal of Reconciliation
The Seal of Reconciliation (和解の印, Wakai no In) while not used in battle or for techniques, is used in Traditional Shinobi Sparring as a demonstration that the two opponents are still comrades after sparring.
Canon Hand Seals
Clone Seal
This seal is most commonly associated with the creation of clones using techniques such as the Shadow Clone Technique, its derivative and the Multiple Wood Release Clone Technique, separate from the basic twelve seals, where index and middle fingers from both hands are crossed.[6] This hand seal is also used in performing the Water Release: Water Shark Bullet Technique.
Clap Hands
This is more of an initiation of a technique rather than a hand seal where the user simply claps their hands together as exemplified when Naruto Uzumaki for example summons chakra or is breaking genjutsu. The hand seal sequence for powerful summoning kinjutsu like the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal end with this motion; similarly, Jiraiya prepares to enter Sage Mode (summoning Shima and Fukasaku) by performing this motion and sustaining it, Hashirama uses it to enter Sage Mode as well, Gaara uses it for Quicksand Waterfall Flow at his fight against Kimimaro. It is also used to perform the Chibaku Tensei technique. Once the seal sequence completed, the user's hands are held in this position until the desired effect is achieved. While entering its third transformation, the Ten-Tails has been observed to make this particular seal.
Slam Surface
Used in techniques such as the Summoning Technique and most Earth Release techniques, this is also more of an initiation of a technique than a seal. The user presses their hand to the surface that is affected.
Haku's Seals
The seals used for Haku's Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death, are quite different than the basic twelve seals, and are also performed with one hand.
Crossed Tiger
Haku's Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals technique can be done with a special seal, which resembles Tiger with middle fingers crossed over the index fingers. Interestingly, Orochimaru also uses this seal when giving the Cursed Seal of Heaven to an individual.[7]
Jin Seal
This is another one of the seals that are used in normal techniques, yet isn't one of the basic twelve seals. The "Yang Water" (壬, Jin) seal is used in techniques such as the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique and the Shrine Seal. In the anime, this seal is formed similar to the Dog seal, but the left hand is under the right, and the left's palm is facing up.[8]
Five Elements' Seal
The fūinjutsu Five Elements Seal used by Orochimaru uses a single special seal, which consists in both hands' thumbs and little fingers touching each other tips, with left index and middle fingers and right index finger raised, with the latter touching the left middle. The left ring finger is placed over the right ring finger, with both the latter and the right middle folded down (just like the Ox seal in the left hand).[9]
Akimichi Seal
The Akimichi clan use a certain seal in their Multi-Size Technique, which also resembles the Bird seal from frontal view. However, it is confirmed that this is a different seal, as the Bird seal has been seen in a side view in techniques such as Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique and the Shadow Sewing Technique. The index and little fingers are raised up, the middle and ring fingers are each folded on top of the hand opposite itself and interlocked with each another, and the thumbs are pressed together at their end segments.
In the anime, there are several "variations" to this seal, likely mistakes. Sometimes, it is formed like the Half Tiger, with the little fingers also raised. Other times, it is formed more similarly in fashion to the Bird seal instead, with index and little fingers raised, and with the thumb and middle and ring fingers are folded in and pressed against each other.
- This seal is therefore very controversial, as this seal was used instead of the Bird seal multiple times in the anime or in movies, likely a mistake.
Yamanaka Seals
The Yamanaka clan uses different seals to activate their techniques, such as the Mind Body Switch Technique[10] and the Mind Body Disturbance Technique.[11] Another seal was used to release the Mind Body Switch Technique and return to the original body. This seal resembled both hands' fingers straightened and crossed into an "X", similar to the Ox seal (however not a "+"), but without the left middle and ring fingers down.
Twin Snakes Mutual Death Seal
A hand seal involving both the user and the enemy is used in the kinjutsu Twin Snakes Mutual Death.
Mangekyō Sharingan Activation Seal
Probably another seal used to gather and focus chakra, it was used by Kakashi in his first battle with Deidara, when he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan to use Kamui for the first time seen in the series. It is formed like the Tiger seal, except with the index fingers' end segments pushed down against each other, forming a house-like shape in the user's point of view. When Kakashi used it, he positioned it in front of his left eye.
Sasuke's Snake Seal
Sasuke used a seal, similar to the Akimichi seal, in his battle with Deidara, when he used either Hidden Shadow Snake Hands or Binding Snake Glare Spell.
- As with the Akimichi seal, this technique also draws controversy with the Bird seal, as it seems similar from a frontal view. However, side view comparisons of this seal and the Bird seal in Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique and/or Shadow Sewing Technique show that this is a different seal.
Daytime Tiger Seal
This seal is used in Daytime Tiger. It does not release chakra, but rather keeps it inside the body to use as energy and strength. This creates a missile type of technique which is not a body of chakra. This seal is actually based off one of the original Kuji-jin seals, the seal of the Outer Lion. In this case, the hands are meant to resemble a tiger. The index fingers (the "eyes" of the Tiger) glow green with the evaporating green sweat of the user (result of releasing the Gate of Wonder).
Great Shark Bullet Seal
Kisame's Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique requires this seal. Possibly a comparison to Guy's Daytime Tiger seal, which resembles a tiger, this hand seal is a thrust, but with both hands touching at the wrist and right hand above the left. The fingers are also folded in a way that vaguely resembles shark's teeth. This overall placement of the hands resembles a shark with an open jaw.
Non-canon Hand Seals
Hoshigakure Hand Seal
The signature technique of Hoshigakure Mysterious Peacock Method uses a hand seal that has the middle and other index finger pushed down and touching, with the right index finger and pinkie touching together to form an arch.
- This seal looks similar to the Bird hand sign on a frontal view, but is in fact a different hand sign from opposite angles.
Byakugan Seals
In the anime, certain variant seals to aid in the activation of the Byakugan are seen. Most are some of the basic twelve seals, but several are different. In the manga, seals are indeed used several times, but of course, they cannot be seen with detail.
Water Formation Wall Seal
In the anime, a special seal is used instead of what is seen in the manga for the Water Release: Water Formation Wall Technique.
Fūma Curse Mandala Seals
In the anime, the Fūma clan used various unknown hand seals for their secret techniques, the Curse Mandala.
Guren's Unknown Crystal Seals
Several "unknown" seals are used in Crystal Release: Crystal Encampment Wall.
Tornado Lightning Seal
In Naruto the Movie 2: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, Ranke uses an unknown hand seal to activate her Tornado Lightning. However, considering that neither she nor her comrades knew what chakra is, her technique is unlikely to be ninjutsu, and her "hand seal" is likely merely an attack gesture.
Land of Demons' Seals
In Naruto: Shippūden the Movie, the shinobi affiliated with the Land of Demons use unique seals unused by the usual shinobi seen throughout the series.
- Taruho used the Shadow Mirror Body Changing Method, which used hand seals like:
- Tiger, but with little fingers pressed inwards instead
- Tiger/Ram with left hand, and right hand with thumb up "punching" the left
- Boar, but with left hand pointed upwards instead
- Right hand facing down above left, left hand facing up below right; Each hand's index and middle fingers folded, and ring and little fingers straight.
- Also, the Shrine Seal used by Shion (Yomi also used a technique by repeating the same seal names, although he only held his palm forward the whole time) uses a numerous amount of different seals with different names as followed:
- Hatsu: Right palm facing forward, fingertips directing to the right
- Jin: Right hand Tiger/Ram facing down, placed under the eyes pointing towards the left
- Kai: Right hand Tiger/Ram, pointing up with arm straight, facing forward
- After completing the first three seals, Shion begins to levitate, the seal lights up, a barrier is formed around the seal, and the spheres inside the seal move around the circle (Yomi did not have to do this)
- Min: Both palms pushed forward, fingertips pointing about 45 degrees up/forward
- Shin: Both palms pressed together (like a clap)
- Gan: Left fist "punching" right palm
- Reppyō: "Rep" seems identical to the Snake/Earth seal. "Pyō" Each hand in half Tiger/Ram, arms stretched with fingertips pointing forward
- Shōzen: Both hands in fists, left left above right; looks similar to the Rat seal
- Mika: Seems identical to Min
- Dan: Each hands revolves around one another into Tiger/Ram, right hand behind left
- Raku: Left hand raised up facing down with middle and ring fingers folded and index and little fingers straight pointing towards the left, right palm pushed down facing down pointing forward
- Shō: Left palm facing down in front with fingertips pointing right, right fist punching left palm from below
- After completing these 9 seals, the stone tablets in the shrine will arise in front of Shion.
- Fu: Hold Shō
- Sai: Hold Shō
- Dan: Hold Shō
- Gika: Hold Shō
- Ragu: Left hand pointing diagonally up/right 45 degrees, right hand middle and ring fingers folded index and little fingers straight pointing diagonally up/left placed in front of left forearm
- Bagi: Right palm facing left with fingertips pointing up in front of user, left forearm behind right seal and left fist placed above right elbow
The first four of these are unseen and it may be that she only shouts these words while holding Shō. Yomi did not use these last six seals.
Hiruko's Storm Release Seal
In Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire, Hiruko uses a special seal for the Storm Release: Thunder Cloud Inner Wave, which resembles Tiger, but only with the middle fingers raised.
Tearing Earth Turning Palm Hand Seal
When Sumashi uses Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm, he uses a special seal that is formed by cupping the left hand and turning it so that it faces the ground and placing the right hand next to it with the index and middle fingers raised.
- Hand seal usage is not limited to shinobi. Shima and Fukasaku as well as the Ten-Tails have been observed to make hand seals, and Madara Uchiha's Susanoo has also been seen making seals while pulling a meteorite toward the earth.
- In the anime, a kunoichi known as Hanare could use a mind reading technique that required the use of her eye by "weaving seals" with her right eye. How she does this exactly is unknown. This was not a dōjutsu kekkei genkai as it could be copied with the Sharingan.
- In the tenth Naruto: Shippūden opening sequence, Naruto, Sakura and Sai perform a technique using three-handed seals.
- In hinduism and buddhism, hand seals are called mudrā (मुद्रा) and are used in everyday life, but also in religious practices and even in dances. The probably most famous mudrā is called namaste.

Nov 23, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Sep 18, 2013The movie is okay, but it seemed a little bit overstuffed, like it was trying too hard to be more than it is. But Denzel Washington plays a CIA agent gone rogue pretty damn well.
Jun 18, 2013An exciting and well acted film. Denzel Washington gives his regular strong performance and Ryan Reynolds who is hit and miss in this case it is a solid double.
Jun 7, 2013
May 13, 2013A very solid action thriller, Safe House looked a bit Bourne-esque to me, with the plot revolving around CIA, with it being corrupt. its agents betraying each other and some "social stealth action" with main characters evading baddies using crowds. Washington and Reynolds' performance is outstanding, the plot is gripping, and it's a really good movie overall.
May 7, 2013Safe house is one of those movies no one can really hate or dearly love, but it's enjoyable none the less. With a good story and interresting characters, this makes one of the better action movies from its year.
Mar 5, 2013The film provides the great acting of Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds' poor talent. Although in some ways the film is entertaining, in other respects doesn' t exceed expectations. Safe House is an inconclusive film.
Feb 4, 2013Good action movie. Do not expect philosophy, only pure action. Both actors played extraordinary.
The story is a common one, but the actors make the film quite good. -
Dec 24, 2012A well made film with some nice stunt work and an awful lot of fight sequences; maybe a couple too many IMO. The performances from both Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds were pretty good, although nobody was particularly stretched. Plot-wise, I guess it was ok but it didn
Dec 13, 2012A solid thriller that could have followed the same plot and just as easily been a solid comedy. Midnight Run anyone? The biggest issue I have with Safe House is also the most confusing one. Why is Denzel Washington, one of the most talented actors of his generation, wasting time on this half rate USA Network worthy CIA flick?
Dec 11, 2012
Dec 3, 2012I passed on this to watch a silly movie Rango a week ago. I watched it this week and it turned out to be a decent movie but didnt make me feel bad for passing it up the week before. I geuss what Im trying to say is if you have another option don`t be afraid to go with it.
Nov 29, 2012
Nov 4, 2012Serviceable espionage action-thriller with a first-rate cast. It brings nothing new to the table, but it is an enjoyable ride. Denzel, as always, is enough of a reason to watch this.
Sep 22, 2012Denzel Washington is a charismatic actor capable of delivering powerful performances. In Safe House he brings us yet another solid performance, however not in the class of his Training Day stunner.
Aug 6, 2012
Jul 22, 2012
Jul 18, 2012It's not the best action movie out there, but it manages to do it's job. Keep you, the viewer, entertained for 2 hours. It's faults: A very boring first half.
Jul 9, 2012Director Daniel Espinosa adds nothing new to Safe House that you haven
Jul 6, 2012What a disappointment! I don't see how Denzel Washington could associate himself with such a low-quality production
Jul 4, 2012Not too much to say about this one ...
Predictable, shallow, regurgitated, nothing new under the sun. Borderline booooring.
Yeah yeah. Denzel is good, as usual, but even that's not enough to spring life into this "been there, done that" film.
It's the Jason Bourne series' little brother with down syndrome ... -
Jul 2, 2012Awesome Acting, Ryan Reynolds does an outstanding job is this movie. Great and realistic fighting scenes. Big Explosions! You get right into the story.
Jul 2, 2012A great film. The movie will have you jumping out of your seat every 10 minutes. One of Ryan Reynolds best performances (which isn't saying much) but it was still an enjoyable performance by him. Denzel Washington has once again proved that he is one of the best actors of our generation. This movie is definitely a must see.
Jun 22, 2012
Jun 20, 2012Yes, many of us have seen such flix before but this is somehow refreshing in its gritty authenticity. Lots and lots of fighting with several twists and turns accentuated by key 'splosions, it's a good time for guys - keep the kids and chix away.
Jun 20, 2012very poor effort and I kept nodding off as the plot was poor.... also the camera work is truly awful but denzel is good as always ....... ryan reynolds not too bad either ....
Jun 8, 2012
Jun 6, 2012
Jun 4, 2012I loved this movie. Denzel Washington did a great job acting, but I thought Ryan Reynolds actually out-acted Denzel in this movie. It started out very fast and kept going with the action. The plot wasn't the best but it was interesting and I'd like to see a sequel. I thought that the ending could have had more of a bang, but I was satisfied at least. Good solid movie.
Jun 1, 2012
May 29, 2012
May 27, 2012Good acting I guess. Its just that the movie sucks . Its no Jason Bourne. Its not even complicated. Its weak. Amazing how even with such good actors a script like this seems to slide past everyone.
Apr 12, 2012this film was something i wasn't expecting to be good but it surprised me quit a bit. the acting was good and the writing of the scrips was OK but the escaping should of been worked on and the fighting scenes to short. def give it a 7.5 but not as good as it should of been. this is short review but over all its something to see if u like watching these types of movies.
Apr 2, 2012
Apr 1, 2012Pretty good movie. Action was cool. Story was solid. No real complaints. Washington was awesome as usual. No need to get into the details. See this movie if you like action, CIA, or spy movies. Acting makes the movie worth it.
Apr 1, 2012Good Movie. Good Story. Good Cast. Good Action. Excellent film, not something I would see if there was another 'better' option on, but there wasn't and I enjoyed it. :)!
Apr 1, 2012It was nothing special. Entertaining, for the most part. Denzel Washington's character was an interesting one, and he also played him well. I kind of saw the 'twist' coming, as I didn't expect Denzel to be the bad guy. Overall, it's an OK movie.
Mar 29, 2012In the beginning it starts out as an action filled thrilling movie, but than it loses its excitement and it becomes a simple action movie which we have tons off. The good actors performance like Denzel keep the movie running and stops you from running away screaming "HELL NOOOOO!!!!". No more to say and i was still generous with the 3/10
Mar 27, 2012
Mar 12, 2012Not a masterpiece by any stretch but I enjoyed the performances of both Denzel and Reynolds. Denzel was especially good as the jaded black ops veteran gone rogue while Reynolds had the enthusiasm of youth down. The action was good but ultimately the twists were a bit predictable.
All in all, a good one to catch if you have some time need a rental or stream. -
Mar 11, 2012If you are 20 years old and have seen 30 hot pursuit movies then this move will be fantastic. However, if you have seen 100 such movies in your life then this will be boringly formulaic. If you are wanting to see the stunning Cape Town, rather go watch a travelogue.
Mar 8, 2012You donâ
Mar 6, 2012
Mar 6, 2012This film was decent. The acting by Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds was pretty good and the action sequences were the best part of the movie. The script played a little thin on the edge but other than that you should see this movie.
Mar 3, 2012A really simple film, not is for anything, but when I watch the trailer I think that Safe House be like the bad action films of Jason Statham, but is a lot of better, Safe House is an okay film, no is bigger but is okay.
Mar 2, 2012
Feb 27, 2012I was pumped to say that this is one of the best Ryan Reynolds films I've ever seen. Worth watching since we get to see Denzel and Ryan act with a load of action scenes.
Feb 27, 2012It doesnt have a substantial plot and channels a lot of Alias spy drama done years ago but I do think that the movie is very well acted by Ryan Reynolds showing great emotion and Denzel Washington showing great wit.
Feb 25, 2012Denzel Washington snoozed thru this formula copycat of Borne. Not much to see here with a totally predictable ending. Wait for this one on free TV if you must see it.

Feb 15, 2012I wanted this film to be good but it was just exhausting. Denzel's scenes were left on the cutting room floor because they set him up as the master manipulator and then no manipulation. For some reason it turned into a Ryan Reynolds movie running around reacting. This isn't a Denzel film it is a Green Lantern without the costume set on earth without the aliens.

Feb 13, 2012
Feb 13, 2012I liked it - even though I knew going in the general premise, it was just well done, and actually believable. Which is more than I can say for Mission Impossible, and for the critics who panned this movie while praising that one, you are most likely in the pocket of the big studios - I call you out - foul! MI is so beyond reality that I can't even watch them anymore
Feb 13, 2012Yuck film......I mean the acting is good and the action free flowing but the plot is completely devoid of any originality. I love an action flick as much as the next bloke but it tried to be too smart and failed and therefore failed as a film......Dont waste your cash.
Oh and Brendan Gleeson is better than this even if Denzel isn't -
Feb 12, 2012
Feb 12, 2012The film starts out fast and rarely lets up. I found myself rooting for Reynolds the entire movie and against Washington, of course until the end. Both actors played their roles phenomenally.
Feb 12, 2012
Feb 11, 2012Is it a great film? No. Does Denzel once again prove he is one of the most amazing actor's of his generation? Yes. Ryan Reynold's is passable, but it really is Denzel's film and he is able to turn a good script into a very good one. Worth seeing alone for Denzel's performance. Loads of action, lots of fun.
Feb 10, 2012
Feb 10, 2012This was a fine action thriller with some, um, really thrilling action. Now I'm just typing words. Words words words words words words words words words words words words words.
Feb 10, 2012
Feb 10, 2012
Moderately enjoyable, in its exhausting way. [5 March 2012, p. 87]
Tolerably exciting spycraft, but stuck with a see-through plot. Washington and Reynolds are watchable, but not exactly stretched by these roles.
It was only a matter of time before someone made a Tony Scott movie without Tony Scott.

According to statistics nearly 6,000 people in that age group were killed in traffic crashes in 2007. That adds up to 14 percent of all Americans killed on the road.
There is a growing need to help older drivers sharpen their skills as well as recognize their changing abilities and adapt their driving practices appropriately. Norman Regional Health System is here to help.
On April 13th and 14th Norman Regional Hospital will host an AARP Safe Driving Course for anyone 50 years or older. During the two day course drivers will get a tune up on driving skills, learn how to reduce traffic violations and crashes and get information on the possibility of getting a discount on car insurance. Drivers will also learn how to adjust their driving for age-related physical changes.
The course fee for AARP members is $12 and $14 for non-members. Registration is required. For more information or to register for the AARP Safe Driving course, please call HealthLink at 440-8802.

About this font family
This type is almost a sans serif. It has legibility proportions, and a very large, useful family with specially adapted condensed and extended sub-families.
Compared with type set by older technologies, PostScript type, imageset and printed by high-resolution offset lithography, has a remarkable clarity — at any size. While many types, old and new, benefit from this level of definition, few designs specifically exploit it. Beaufort does. Its pointed serifs introduce a sharpness of reproduction that was difficult to achieve, at any size, prior to PostScript. This means that small sizes of Beaufort will combine a high word count with good legibility, while large sizes will always display very fine detail. Optical scaling is not required. More…

Hey you, the one running iOS 7 beta when you really shouldn't be: Stay classy!
I meant to publish this on Monday but I messed up and forgot to. Sorry about that. But it's the same every year. The iOS 7 beta is intended for developers to test for bugs and software compatibility. It's not intended to be an early release preview, or the daily driver for anyone's main phone. This year more than ever, iOS 7 is really beta. It's not done. It's not cooked. It's cool as hell but there's a reason there's a lineup at the Apple Store outside Moscone for iPod touches. Not even developers want to risk their main phone. (I don't have it on my main phone either.) So here's the deal...
Stay away. And if you're not going to stay away, be classy about it. Respect the NDA (non-disclosure agreement) you become part of when you install the software. Send bugs to Apple, not to the front page, and absolutely don't post negative reviews for apps that don't work or look well under iOS 7. Developers will update what they can when they can, and find workarounds if and when possible, but they're not allowed uploading iOS 7 binaries yet, and won't be until just before launch. Send them bugs privately to help them out, don't screw up their ratings. They're not doing anything wrong.
Again, we -- and other people -- write this every year because some people tend to forget it every year.
Play with the beta if you have to, but stay classy about it.

Hey you, the one running iOS 7 beta when you really shouldn't be: Stay classy!
True true, but dammit I want iOS7 and I'm not a dev so I wouldn't know what to do with it. And my ip5 is the only device I have that can run it right now. This is going to be a long summer.
Sent from the iMore App
You can get it for iPhone 5 now. Im running it on my only phone and it works just fine. It is surprisingly not buggy for a beta release. If you do find it doesn't work for you just revert back to ios 6
Am I the only one who feels that Apple's new adds are very unapple. I always felt that Apple adds under the Steve Jobs era popped. Love them or hate them, I would always stop and watch.
These new Designed in California, along with the Genius adds feel like some third rate ads from a third rate company. They are boring and don't feel premium.
I love iOS 7, but I'm starting to really consider Apple's direction post-Steve. I always felt that they had a good 5-7 years of juice left in them even after Steve's passing, but 2 years later, with adds like this, I'm left wondering who is really in charge?
I took the decision to pay the 99$ and buy the dev account to install it on my main ip5 :)
I personally don't find it very buggy. Of course some apps I am using act weird, but I do not complain because that was my personal decision to install ios7
However, I totally agree with you René to stay classy
For when they update it and also to help give them feedback on how it runs and possible improvements for the final release.
There's a few perks to it, also it's $100 for a whole year so if there happens to be another change down the road we get to test that as well.
AFAIK the "beta testing" is done by developers... you know the Ballmer mantra - or monkey boy mantra? Developers, Developers, Developers!!!!!!!!
Anyway, if its $100 to be a developer and $100 to beta test (see $200) then you are still making your money back as a developer on iOS.
1) You gain a huge amount of knowledge on the new operating system
2) You have the ability to shape, fix and modify the operating system
3) You have a leg up when writing or re-writing your apps for the new operating system.
4) You are a developer so you will probably spend way more than $200 on development.
5) Most software engineers worth their salt should be making $50/hr + benefits - and some probably make over $100/hr (just pay now, not including perks, etc... taxis, limos and the like).... So $200 is not all that much, $100 is even less.
I think 17 year old nerds need to spend more time learning and less time posting, but then who am I?
Now if you mean a customer or user should not be forced to spend $100 to beta test anything, then YES - you are correct. And maybe that's why the Surface RT did so bad? Most people are tired of spending hundreds of dollars to beta test Microsoft's junk.
sabvvxt - isnt that special?
Nothing is free ... installing a beta OS on something you use for real work is not a good idea - unless that real work is being a developer, but then you should still have a stable build to run on your regular device ... which would probably put you out about $50 or so... maybe more depending on what you want.
Completely agree. I'm not a dev but I chose to get the beta (through a friend's developer account) because a)I can accept when some of my stuff doesn't work because I wanted to test drive new software. And b)my 4S is no longer my daily driver so if it was not as solid as the iOS 6 beta (and it definitely isn't) I could (and did) rely on my other phone.
Well said. I remember in the past I got ahold of a iOS 4GM from a friend who wanted to jailbreak his iphone and installed it on my iPod touch (at which time I had an Android based phone. I had tin foil hat syndrome for a couple days but it all came out fine.
Now with my iPhone 5 being my main phone, the last thing I want to do is screw it up so I don't do betas anymore, not even on my iPad.
The wait will be long and hard to deal with but it sure shows a lot of features that make it really stand out.
Well put Rene. Non-devs should stay classy. Perhaps we could get the dev's and non-devs to end the flame wars though as well? Staying classy is always a good stance :).
I don't get it, why is this NDA so sacrosanct? iMore has run plenty of pieces where information that's NDA'd was leaked.
Two other things non-devs may not be aware of:
1. Aside from the flakiness expected of a beta, these pre-release builds of iOS are much slower than the final version will be (due to the fact they're built with debug settings turned on, which make problems easier to fix, but require that performance optimizations be turned off)
2. Even when developers find fixable issues in their apps, Apple doesn't allow us to submit new versions of our apps to address compatibility with the new version of iOS until the system goes golden master (GM). We can still submit regular bug fixes of course, but they have to be built with the existing version of Xcode and target the current public version of iOS.
They - Apple - Google - Microsoft - or even the NSA does not have the right to forbid it - as long as you keep quiet and honor the NDA. Then again it is all fun and games til the attorney's show up.
When someone tests things for their own ends or use - it is fine. Your mileage may vary and things are void where prohibited, but as far as I know this is still the land of the free and home of the brave.
Just to make my point clear - copyright holders often commit crimes themselves ... because they do not understand copyrights... but then few attorneys or judges understand them and I'm not even getting into congress. In short a copyright is a LIMITED right to control a thing or media for a specified period of time, but copyrights never give the own 100% control. There is such a thing as fair use.
Then again, the NSA does not know their job .. and many others do not know their job either. These people, they exceed their authority repeatedly - like their only job is to exceed their authority... you know to fight "terrorism" or evil communist hax0rz!
Yes, but year after year, regular users too impatient to wait for public release, go and buy slots on developers accounts to get access, and then treat it like it's a regular release.
So, yes. Stupid or not, reminding them is important, and calling them stupid doesn't help things any. They're going to do it.
I have it installed on my main phone and don't have any problem running it. Just whole bunch of pussies being scared of everything. It works. Yes it does have some issues but nothing terrible. Love every second of using. Stop crying and put it on your main phone don't listen to anyone. It works absolutely awesome.

I have it on my main phone too, and I have to at LEAST twice a day, turn on personal hotspot, and use my iPad for something, because that app crashes under iOS 7. This was expected (and is why I carry my iPad mini) but many people go and complain to the developers about this, when it's no one's fault but their own.
The OS itself, yes, works ok. But I wouldn't recommend to anyone to put this on their daily driver, even though I did. I'm a special case. I know my requirements, and could afford to work around any limitations.
Recommending that just anyone install it on their main phone, is simply reckless, and doing a great disservice to all the people out there.
I have installed it too and it is buggy as hell... I have had to resort to using my 2nd iPhone 5 to take pics or film videos or to send texts. It randomly restarts, video from the lock screen freezes.. and there is a lot of overlapping of texts, low battery life and app crashes. It is generally unreliable. You shouldn't encourage people to install it on their primary phones because you may not have the same experiences they have. I was so excited to install it but now that I have I am totally over it. I am even considering rolling back to iOS 6 till future beta's come out.
It is not a matter of being a "pussy" and not installing it or installing it on your main device .. it is a matter of installing a beta OS on your main device and then COMPLAINING after the fact.
I would think all developers know this and know they are taking a risk - since it is a beta and not "fully" tested, there is a much greater risk of something blowing up.
I think Rene put it very well in his short article and "Stay Classy!".
I'm going to be honest I am one of those who has it with out paying anything and not being a developer. It actually runs smooth has a little lag on some things but that's a given. All apps I have work flawless really I'm not a professional so I wouldn't know if there are bug issues etc..... But everyone be cool and follow these instructions so that later in the future when can get the other beta versions this way. I'm sure apple can fix this problem easily if they really wanted to.
I recently got my iPhone 5, sucks that it came with 6.1.3 already =/
After having to deal with the fact that i couldn't jailbreak, i installed iOS7 Beta.
Yeah it's buggy, and some apps like eBay won't even start up.. It's all good though, i'm having a great time with all the new features.
Oh and you're right, alot of ignorant people are trashing the reviews to eBay under the App Store, because of the compatibility issues.. Not cool at all, it's not their fault!
I fully realize it's in beta, however I really am not sure what the best way to send bug reports to Apple is. I've compiled a long list, and while each is pretty concise, it's in freeform. I don't know the correct way to format it or where exactly to send it.
I was an ignorant eager beaver who was sold on the dream of having the iOS 7 early, then read this article and reverted back to good old iOS 6.1.4. Now I'm paranoid about my month old iphone 5's future. Are there any reassurances that all will be well now that I've downgraded?
Why wouldn't your phone be fine? If you're back on iOS 6 and your phone is working I would say you're probably safe. I'm running iOS 7 and will probably just stick with it if I don't run into any major glitches (only been running it for a day, so far so good). I doubt Apple would have released it even as a beta if there was anything that could wreck the hardware of the phone.
I love that phrase, "Stay classy about it." You can apply that to this and various aspects regarding human life. :)
I agree with Rene. Installed it and I am not a developer. Went back to 6.1.4 because I honestly didn't like the look for the new 7 and battery life is still pretty bad. There are elements, that are nice but I think this new apple leadership is going in the wrong direction. The new features are great but the look has regressed in my opinion. Not modern at all.
I'll admit, I'm one of the ones that "really shouldn't be". Curiosity got the best of me and I just had to see how IOS 7 functions. It's been a pure pleasure to play with, but I'm probably going to downgrade over the weekend because there are a couple of key apps I use that need an IOS 7 update.
I was tempted to download it without the developer account. But decided to wait for the official release instead. I like to build up the excitement. This to me is like Xmas, don't want to open my gifts before cause it kinds of spoils the fun. Another reason is that my iPhone 5 is my daily driver and I know betas have bugs that need to be ironed out before they make their official release. Can't stop reading about it though and finding out new stuff over the net. Here is too a long wait that'll be (hopefully) well worth it.

Totally agree as a non-devloper who's running ios7. Where do I go to report the issues though? I'd love to help out if i can.
I think they are heading in the right direction for sure. Apple is trying to listen to peoples advice and change up the UI because it seems as though many complain of it looking old and outdated. Hats off to Jony and the crew for breaking new ground. There is no way to make everyone happy. Just rest on the fact that they are listening to us and attempting to give us what we asked for. Be patient and let them fully bake it then see how you like it.
Trust me they are reading everyone's reviews and will take note what people like and don't like.
agreed... people need to understand what a beta is before they install and understand apps are still optimized for ios 6... i risked it on my main phone but thats because i jailbreak my phone and usually rooted and unlocked my bootloader on android phones.. if it breaks well there's always insurance but i always find a way back whenever i screw something up.
I am running iOS 7 as my daily driver I'm one of the lucky ones I guess that don't have many problems....and when something does crash and ask me if I want to send a error report I always do....I love helping out on experimental things in beta...I understand there could be big bugs and the risk in taking but I feel as if someone has to run it as a daily driver to see how it reacts that way....just saying if your someone who has done betas in the past (not just including iPhone) and you understand it won't be rainbows and unicorns go ahead install it...but if you expecting it to run as smooth as iOS 6 stay as far away from it as possible...no one want people complaining about a beta acting like it's the full iOS 7
That is such good advice, I hope many of the people that need to hear get to read this. I have yet to download iOS 7 beta and not sure I will be. But I did get the beta of iOS 6 last year and was happy to help by sending bug reports to Apple.
I really hope people will heed to your advice by not giving bad reviews or bringing all these buggy issues to the public, simply send them to Apple so the fall release can be flawless.
I just wanted the control center... three years ago. It's always been an issue of efficiency in connectivity. Getting out the door and connecting to my Bluetooth adapter meant coming to a standstill for twenty seconds while popping in and out of the Settings menu, whereas my Droid Eris (POS), in 2010, could at least allow me to toggle Wi-Fi AND Bluetooth through the control center in just three or four taps. I dropped the Android years ago for the iPhone because of stability and power. BUT... Apple has neglected these aforementioned toggles, almost throwing them in our faces.
So, blah blah blah, I now have the iOS 7 beta, and my control center. It has far exceeded my expectations in the sense that, for a first run, it's not so bad. Rene, perhaps I should not have downloaded the beta, but I did. I have never seen the need to do this before, but I had one reason: efficiency. I have been faithful to Apple for three years, and stay faithful because their product is both stable and powerful. I downloaded the beta because I feel like we deserve a control center. Now I can flip it up, toggle on and off what I see fit, and go on. Save time, save battery.
I will now end with an epilogue:
"First World Problems"
I do agree with the article. I've installed the beta on my main handset and I'm not a developer! So far it seems to work very well for a beta. There are some apps that don't work but I've found ways around that usually, like using mobile web. eBay is one example. What would have been handy in this article is a link to the Apple bug reporting site!
Great article, right on topic. One more thing, if you do spend the $99 and are not really a developer, limit your posts in the developer forums. Read more than you post. You'll find that asking things like "...why doesn't iRadio work for me in Malta." already have been answered and really have nothing to do with development. Don't flood the forums with typical end user questions.
Wow, a lot of fluffy talk from someone that apparently hasn't tried it. It's just as "cooked" as iOS 6 beta was. Been running it since day 1 on 12 phones and I have yet to see a bug that renders the phone unusable.
iOS 7 Beta is quite stable indeed. Just have some apps may not compatible yet and have some bugs on it. And sometimes phone just auto restart when too many apps jam together. The earpiece controls not functioning also.
however, overall i can say it is still fit for daily normal use. I'm not iOS developer, but i register for the UDID at iMZDL.
im not a dev, im on my main iphone 5, the one I use daily, im not complaining and not having any problems so...just saying ;)
I installed iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S and I'm not a dev. I want be but I can because I'm 17 and can't afford it let alone old enough to be one, but I've always been interested in things like this and keep tabs on what bugs I found with iOS 7. For a beta and a beta 1 at that it does run smoothly. I'm looking forward to the beta 2 and what not as well as the final release.
I never send bugs to apple, I never use betas . I am using ios7 and jam sending the bugs automatically. I hope it helps them somehow . I love the OS. I need just .5 inch more screen
I set my password to a ñ and I could not unlock my iPod. -_- had to restore it back to iOS 6.1.3 I am back at 7 now but I will never again set my password to an accented letter
Is this serious? Considering it a risk on a "main phone" ? Big deal it crashes now and then, other than that it's pretty damn stable and can be used everyday. Get off your high horse, you're an editor not an apple employee, act accordingly.
Do you reckon I should get iOS 7 on my main phone? I have a developer account, and I do have a backup phone in case this one stops working - but still, I'm not sure whether I should. Anybody know whether I should?
I am new to i OS anything. I would have appreciated this warning ahead of time. I was told there was a newer operating system for my device & had little boxes in red asking me to get it upgraded. so I did. Without knowing better, for the most part, when stuff has gone wrong, I have privately contacted app developers. I did leave a review for one of my favorite apps. I paid for it, & their solution was to switch to ads, so I could no longer use the app. I would LOVE to switch back to the previous operating system i liked it just fine. I only wish apple had had a neat write up like this, explaining it in the way you have, it was presented as something I needed to do, & being unfamiliar & new to apple I did. & I've regretted it ever since. Dont' even get me started on the ebay app! everything looks great runs smoothly seamlessly even... till you look at your listing on an actual computer instead & find that it's a disaster. free expedited shipping?! on a 99 cent item, really? not what I selected & not what i just read on my ipad... anyways. This article should have come attached to the upgrade. I would have gladly passed.

Front-running Cards, A's meet, seeking momentum
Cespedes hoping to break out; St. Louis' Miller duels with sizzling Colon
After posting a 20-7 record in May, the Cardinals are 12-12 in June and suffered their first sweep at the hands of the Rangers last weekend. The A's have lost four of their last seven games and seven of their last 12, but appear to be on an upswing, winning both games of their two-game series with the Reds at O.co Coliseum.
As Oakland takes the field Friday for the series opener against the Cardinals, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will continue slowly working his way back to form after a hamstring injury forced him to miss time earlier this month.
"I think it's more of a mental thing," said manager Bob Melvin. "He's not, maybe, 100 percent running down the line. It takes a little time. He's probably in the 90 percentile, where we're not worried about him reinjuring it at this point. We wouldn't have him in the outfield if we didn't think it was time to do that."
Entering Wednesday's contest, Cespedes was batting .156 in 11 games since returning from the injury on June 14.
"He's not happy about where his average is, but his production is still there," Melvin said. "He's always on the verge of a hot streak to me. He continues to do his thing and prepare and get better to where he's in the lineup every day."
Cespedes will have to contend with St. Louis rookie Shelby Miller, who is seventh in the National League in ERA at 2.35, just behind Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright (2.31), who will start against the A's on Saturday.
Miller will also be looking to get back on track Friday after surrendering a pair of two-run homers to the Rangers in his last start, a 4-2 loss.
Starting opposite Miller is Bartolo Colon, who will be pitching for his 11th victory of the season. The Cardinals' offense struggled against the Rangers last week but came alive in the first of two games with the Astros. The St. Louis batters won't have it easy against Colon, who is 7-0 with a 1.41 ERA and one home run allowed in 51 innings over his last seven starts.
"Against the Astros, we showed what we always do well: hitting with guys in scoring position, driving the ball and taking walks," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "You're going to have tough weekends because there's very good pitching out there and good teams, but this isn't anything new. Our guys went out and proved that it's not something to worry about."
Cardinals: Matheny to use four-man rotation
With three off-days in nine days and no fifth starter, the Cardinals will go with a four-man rotation for the next two weeks -- until July 6, when Joe Kelly will start against Miami.
Miller, who last pitched Saturday, will start Friday against the A's, followed by Wainwright, Jake Westbrook and then Lance Lynn.
"Being the long guy out of the 'pen, my arm's ready to go for all situations," Kelly said. "When the off-days are over, I'll be ready then, too. It's ultimately the skipper and GM's decision, but it's exciting to have at least the opportunity."
Athletics: Crisp expected back in the lineup Friday
Center fielder Coco Crisp did not start Wednesday against the Reds to attend to a family matter.
"He's got a family issue he's dealing with right now," Melvin said. "Everything's fine."
Melvin noted that his pregame absence was not the result of an emergency but rather a "planned" event.
Chris Young started at center in Crisp's place and struck out in all four of his at-bats.
Worth noting
• Catcher Stephen Vogt, who made his A's debut Tuesday, went 0-for-3 but picked up an RBI on a sacrifice fly. Vogt went 0-for-3 again Wednesday and is still searching for his first big league hit after going 0-for-25 in three stints with the Rays last season.
• Tyler Lyons, who would have started Friday against the A's had he not been sent down to Triple-A last week, pitched seven scoreless innings against the Iowa Cubs on Tuesday, allowing just one hit.

Hi Markay,
Thanks for accepting my invite. What do you do for a living?
Hello Markay nice to meet you I hope you had a great evening and today is great also
Good day to you I hope you had a great one
Your Friend Jim -
Happy Labor Day! I Hope you have a great weekend, Markay.
I'm doing well, thank you for asking. Enjoy your weekend!
It's cooler, at least in the morning. Earlier the weatherman said that it was 69 out and that the high was supposed to be about 79!
Good morning! How are you today? What is it like where you are?
It depends on my husband's new job. His boss is on vacation so he is working all that he can. He might have to work this weekend, not sure when Joseph gets back. Still we'll end up doing something, even if it's renting a movie/
Good morning! Any plans for the weekend?
Good morning!
Staying home. Was in the heat too long yesterday! Other than that, the day has just started for me and it can only get better!
Good morning! How is your day going?
The day has started out well. Have to go to Trident One Stop to see if there is any kind of training for me. Went to a morning wedding Saturday, it was great! The bride and groom were very happy. You can see the pictures on my profile. Unfortunately, not all of them could be posted. The ones I edited were too big for the the small boxes. I didn't think that they would be correctly seen.
Good morning! How was your weekend? How are you today?
You, too! Have fun!

Wash hands after handling or using this product, and contact the manufacturer(s) for information regarding the chemicals that may be contained in these products.
You shouldn't't have prompted me for a review. I've never purchased a remanufactured printer cartridge and never will again. The color cartridge was unusable. I completely wasted my money. This is the first absolutely horrible experience I've had with Overstock.com, but it has soured my opinion.
I paid for the XL cartridges so they would last for longer. I received them and the black cartridge was empty and the tri color was nearly empty. This product is a waste of money and a mistake I won't make twice.
I was a little nervous about buying remanufactured ink cartridges, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The price was right, and the cartridges work beautifully! I will definitely order this product again.
I installed the tri color and it was immediately rejected by my printer. It proceeded to bleed color all over the place and despite repeated cleanings, my printer is still not properly working.
Both cartridges fit in the printer. The color cartridge was recognized by the printer but the black cartridge was not recognized after several tries.
Glad I didn't pay a lot for these cartridges because my printer doesn't recognize them.
The color ink cartridge worked, the black cartridge did not and I was not given a refund, when requested...guess I'm going to stick with the HP products from here on out and consider it a "lesson learned"

Top Definition
A 'Gogurt Tube' is preformed in the act of anal intercourse, when the man is about to achieve an orgasm he hits the woman on the back of the head (a donkey punch), causing the woman's rectum to tense up, making it tight. He then proceeds to pull his penis away from the anus, which, if sucessful, will cause the intestines to come out of the anus (still attached to the penis, forming a pink sock). The man then shoots his orgasm into the pink sock, grabs it, and then sucks the semen from the pink sock, thus making something similar to a tube of gogurt.

omg how many points is this worth???!~!!!
Awesome! Two skaters before Mura tried to put 4T as a second jump in combo: Menshov 4T-4T www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx3GnlX4TlY and Plushenko 3A-4T www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBVM8NB27WI . All guys did it UR, but Mura's attemp is probably the best among all. No one ever tried it in competitions. Mura has a wonderful 4T and the most amazing and powerful 3A in Men's history. He is not that stable sometimes but he might wanna try to push this record. As for how much such a 4T-4T combo would cost, that's just easy to find out it: 10.3x2=20.6 ) .
is the 4-3-3 worth more? between 4-4 and 4-3-3 which is more difficult?
... and he landed it perfectly at Cup pof Russia 2002, since it was 4T-3T-3Loop (not 3T), so the BV is 19.5. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlu_OJeyWII
AFAIR, didn't van der Perren land a 4 3 3 at one point? 2010 Worlds, I think
The title on the video says so, anytway.
^ He did, and did it rather well: got +1.20 GOE to BV 17.80 (at that moment), so 19.00!
Plushenko landed 4-3-3 combination 4 times,and 4-3-2 combination 26 times.
This is the first perfect 4-3-3 combo in figure skating history. In comeptition.
Mura is AWESOME!

It's the highest scoring three jump combo under the COP scoring system at an official ISU events. It's also a very 'dumb' combination since you want as many rotations in the back half under the scoring system and the triple toeloop isn't a great jump for the men to repeat.
If it's a difficult jump or jump combination, it's sporty. It's pushing the athletic envelope. I think 4-4 or 4-3-3, regardless how much it will get, is great and exciting! I'd love to see someone jump a 4-4 in competition. One of the main reasons makes the competitions different from the shows.
Well, it would have to be two different quads -- if you repeat the same quad, that uses up one of the two repeats and then you can only repeat one triple (as of 1998-99).
If there were a jumps-only contest or phase of competition, that would be a great place to push the envelope on individual elements with the highest possible base values.
In the context of a free program, a clean quad-quad combination would earn a lot of points, but how many points would the skater end up giving up in the rest of the program in terms of quality (losses to physical and mental fatigue after the intensity of the superdifficult element) and ability to take advantage of distribution bonuses, etc.?
But if several skaters can get to the point of executing clean quad-quad combos in their freeskates, then the rules may change to allow quad-quad combo in the short program, where it would be extremely valuable.

Southern fish experiencing identity crises
By Celia Rivenbark
Next time Bubba and Billy Bob go fishing, they might discover the fish more or less moseys onto the hook, languishes on the line and then passively lays there in the cooler smoothing its scales instead of flailing.
Scientists have discovered estrogen in the water is making fish, particularly large-mouthed bass in the South, less aggressive. Turns out 70 to 90 percent of the bass in ponds across the Southeast have both male and female sex characteristics.
Which goes a long way toward explaining why some of the time they want to pound beers with the guys at BW3′s and the rest of the time they get giddy about the semi-annual shoe sale at Dillard's .
This new revelation could result in a recall of that horrid wall plaque with the singing bass on it. Instead of singing "Take Me to the River" perhaps some show tunes would be in order. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
The bigger worry here is where all this estrogen is coming from and why is it so much more prevalent in the Southeast? In Alaska's Yukon River , for instance, fish are completely free of the intersex condition, preferring to wear lumberjack plaid shirts for the boys and something slightly slutty from Forever 21 for the girls. Well, almost.
Scientists say this gender-bending may hamper the ability of fish to reproduce. With so many male fish taking on female characteristics, the fish are in a sort of sexual limbo, sadly disinterested in procreation.
Oh, if only deer, squirrels and Kardashians would acquire this particular affliction. I'm just kidding. I don't really have anything against squirrels. Or deer.
Scientists also say there is no harm to the consumer in eating intersex fish. It's not as if you're eating those 24-eyed fish swimming around the nuke pond on "The Simpsons." The absolute worst thing that would happen is that, if you're a boy, well, your "bidness" will fall off. So what?
Having spent my formative years fishing in country ponds and catching more than a few large- and small-mouthed bass myself, I think this is going to make for some depressing trips in the future. The fun is in the fight! If the fish simply yawns in my direction and suggests a light breading of panko crumbs with a modest pinot on the side, there's no real sport in that.
Of course this is serious business and I'm sure more than a few of you will write to say this is an ecological nightmare and they wish my "bidness" would fall off, too. In the meantime, stop flushing your birth control pills (?!) and give our Southern bass a chance to get their groove back. Are we good?

To guest-ieisslm and PrufrocksKatamari
Difference between free press and free speech
(1) The essence of freedom of speech is about letting public beware your opinions, this is where free press and freedom of speech differ.
If a journalist has an opinion on an issue, he can make public aware of it, especially those anchors, their opinions can shape how millions of people think. On the other hand, if you have an opinion, you can't make public listen to you unless media and journalists like it.
(2) To have meaningful opinions, you must not be misled or manipulated. So you must have knowledge on pro and con of the issue you want to talk about.
Because most people get most of their information from TV and Newspaper, media and journalists can control what public are aware of. They will present the pro if they like it, they will present you the con if they don't like it. In this way they can shape your opinions about certain issues, so you will say what they want you to say.
(3) When government controls TV and Newspaper, they control which part of issues open to public, pro or con; they can suppress opinions they don't like. Unlike 40, 50 years ago when they blocked the information, now they don't block all complains, but keep such opinions away from public's attention.
(4) "free" media or authoritarian media in reality, means that media and journalists control TV and Newspaper; control which part of issues open to public, pro or con (free from punishment if misleading and manipulating); control what issues will get public attention. Simply speaking, let them control information.
One masterpiece by "free" media is their success of convincing people to treat government like piece of sh!t, then turn around blaming every failure on government.
It is like demanding a contractor redoes an apartment without moving a furniture, and "free-thinking" people take it without blink of eyes and ask election after election why elected politicians don't deliver. For god sake, they are treated like a b1tch, do you really expect a b1tch to deliver?
If "free" media is right that elected government is sh!t, then what is so great about democrap that routinely put idiots in office?
"You have no opinions of yourself." I'm actually considered one of the more opinionated folks out there according to my wife and friends.
You have not said a single word that is not from authoritarian media in West.
Politically, western media has only one voice : blame everything on government (leave the rich alone).
About death penalty, the voices of people who favor death penalty never get public attention, because rich-own media didn't bring their voices to public attentions.
You don't know Pope's opinion on Russian Pu$$y girl, do you?
If "free" media has the right dismiss the opinion of Pope, give me a reason why state media is not allowed to dismiss the opinions of Liu XiaoPo.
Read the following by Fareed Zakaria of CNN, then compare it to the way how "free" f123ing media handled OWS. (I believe neither of you have a clue the difference between OWS and other protests)
What do they find? Contrary to what you'd think, it turns out criticisms of the state are not more likely to get censored. Even vitriolic criticisms are allowed. Instead, the focus is on stopping mass mobilization. Last year Beijing blocked internet searches for Tunisia's "Jasmine Revolution" to prevent discussions about the Arab Spring. Similarly last week searches for the numbers 4/6 were censored - the numbers represented June 4th, the anniversary of the massacre at Tiananmen Square.
Did the following ever get the attention of western public?
Never. Why? because according to "free" media, Kim K's butt is more important. Of course, the corruption on the other side of earth is more important than the corruption in their own countries.
and "free-thinking" people in West stick their chests out "We can speak freely" while knowing nothing about what they don't know, and all they say is what their authoritarian media wants them to say.
A major theme is the pressure from the financial industry on the political process to avoid regulation, and the ways that it is exerted. One conflict discussed is the prevalence of the revolving door, whereby financial regulators can be hired within the financial sector upon leaving government and make millions.
