8th Street Books and ComicsRead MorePat Thompson couldn't yet read, but he could follow the images. Sitting by his mother as she recovered from a car accident, the 5-year-old Thompson found Amazing Spider-Man #6 in one of the care packages sent to the hospital. As he flipped through the pages, he sat awestruck by what he saw: a web-slinging superhero battling a half-man, half-lizard villain commanding an army of alligators. "I was hooked like pike," he said. He held onto the comic until he could finally read it, which only deepened his fascination. So when the opportunity came as an adult to own a comics store, Thompson cobbled together all the resources he could to make it happen—getting money from family, taking out a loan, robbing a lemonade stand, and teaming with a former employee to buy 8th Street Books and Comics. Today, Thompson and his wife, also an avid comic-book reader, continue to share their passion for comics, graphic novels, and books with new customers and regulars that have frequented the shop for 18 years. Thompson maintains an efficient organization system, grouping every product—from more than 4,300 adult graphic novels to nearly 2,000 manga titles—in its own section. He does the same for his comics, carrying every major publisher and titles from many independent presses. A self-professed reader—not a collector—Thompson keeps issues for up to one year only, or until they start to taste funny. He's not shy about sharing what he thinks of the newest releases, teaming with an old friend Theo on CFCR 90.5 FM radio's Comic Chat with Theo and Pat every Friday at 6 p.m. Beyond the comics, graphic novels, and books, the Thompsons also stock pop-culture merchandise that includes action figures and lunch kits, as well as costumes and magic supplies. Additionally, they also host regular Magic: The Gathering tournaments.1006 8 Street EastSaskatoon, SK CA
Mecca FitnessRead Morefacet: Main type: Traditional locale: en_CA title: Mecca Fitness facet_type_id: 9b5f2670-5f41-1032-8dfd-43f581257fac html_text: It's appropriate that the slick yellow-and-black colour scheme inside Mecca Fitness mirrors that of a construction site. After all, visitors aboard the gym's cardio and resistance equipment are painstakingly building new physiques. That's also a process that owner Grant Roberts has endured both by choice and by necessity. Roberts was a champion bodybuilder before a car accident left him severely debilitated. The medical community deemed him lucky to be alive, and wouldn't condone his efforts to rejoin the fitness scene. So, during a four-year stay in Costa Rica, he took charge of his own rehabilitation, and steadily became involved in seminars, exhibitions, and competitions once again. His expertise and devotion have since been affirmed by celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, who called on Roberts to train Hilary Swank for her role as a boxer in Eastwood's film, Million Dollar Baby. The secret of Roberts' success might be his personal touch. As the owner of Mecca Fitness, he oversees 16,000 square feet of amenities that he says on his website comprise "the kind of gym I love to train in". He personally helped with the development of the Strive strength equipment in the resistance-training area. And to show he stands behind his products, he emblazons his name on every container of the gym's MVP nutrition supplements as well as each member's newly buff deltoids. By mapping specialized zones for stretching, abdominal work, weightlifting, and women-only workouts, he readies the gym to help guests with nearly any wellness goal.309 Fairmont Dr.Saskatoon, SK CA

Tusq RestaurantRead Morefacet: Main type: Traditional locale: en_CA title: Tusq facet_type_id: 81dc8a80-5f41-1032-aaff-ad9d24091b0f html_text: |- If you peer into the open kitchen at Tusq from visit to visit, you'll rarely see the same process twice. Mirroring its rotating tasting menu, Tusq has recently revamped the restaurant with new chic décor creating a swanky feel and a freshly updated menu to match.The tasting menu include flighty dishes that change at a few weeks' notice, offering a small window of time for guests to sample the likes of pan-roasted scallops or crème brûlée. Those interested in constancy can turn to the regular dinner menu. With duck confit wontons and a 9-ounce strip steak in a root-beer reduction, it's ample evidence of the chef's adventurous streak. Lunch is similarly creative, featuring sandwiches of orange-glazed salmon and penne pasta with wild game sausage. Tusq serves these plates and made-from-scratch desserts in an upscale dining room. Two private rooms also host gatherings, one in a chic corporate lounge, and one in a bistro-style space with its own bartender. Still, the restaurant's atmosphere avoids pretension—after supper and wine, you can belt out your favourite songs at StaQatto, where a duelling pianos show entertains crowds every Friday and Saturday. The pianists take suggestions from a set list of 2,000 songs, and encourage audiences to participate by dancing, singing, or stretching strings from their mouths to their feet and serving as a standup bass.416 21st Street EastSaskatoon, SK CA

Blowouts have been the name of the game the majority of the time in Goose Creek's impressive winning streak.
On Friday, the Gators had to win a slugfest to extend their streak to 37 games, surviving crosstown rival Stratford, 14-7 at Stackley Field.
The Gators ended the regular season 11-0 with their seventh straight win in the series. The victory also gave Goose Creek the Region 7-AAAA title.
Stratford is 9-2, with both of those setbacks coming the last two weeks.
"It was just what I knew and what I said," GCHS coach Chuck Reedy said. "They're probably the best team we've played in the last two or three years."
"Whoever paid their $7 got their money's worth," SHS coach Ray Stackley said.
Both teams learned their playoff seeds Saturday and the rivalry could be on center stage again in three weeks.
But first, each team must get there.
The Gators, the No. 1 seeds in the Class AAAA Div. II bracket, host Wade Hampton on Friday in the opening round.
Stratford, the fifth seed, opens up at home with Nation Ford on Friday.
"We might have a chance to get back at them a little bit," Stackley said.
Neither team came close to their season averages in points and yards because the defensive units were dialed in.
Stratford's lone points came on its first play from scrimmage on a double pass. Thad Thompson tossed a 45-yard touchdown pass to K.J. Givens after hauling in a lateral from quarterback Jacob Park.
It took the Gators until the second quarter to answer. Fullback Evan McField capped an 86-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge.
Goose Creek's other score was set up by quarterback Dantez Bennamon's 65-yard scamper early in the third quarter. On fourth and goal, tailback Tyrik Johnson reached across the goal line on a 5-yard run. Alex Jacobus made his second extra point to give the Gators a 14-7 lead.
"What you saw was two really fine football teams," Stackley said. "We didn't make enough plays but we had some opportunities."
Stratford had the ball last and drove to Goose Creek's 47 before turning it over on downs. Gators defensive back Kenny Hampton swatted down a Park pass deep into Goose Creek territory for a bit of redemption. He got burnt earlier on Stratford's touchdown play.
The Gators ran out the final 1:36.
Bennamon finished with 131 yards rushing and McField added 67 yards for the Gators. Bennamon also passed for 63 yards. His 29-yard connection to Deondre Daniels set up Goose Creek's tying score in the second quarter.
"What can you say," Reedy said of Bennamon. "I keep saying it. He's the best quarterback around in my opinion. He's 24-0 as a starting quarterback. That's hard to beat."
The Gators came in averaging over 400 yards per game rushing but found Stratford's defense offering up the toughest resistance they've encountered all season. Reedy said he expected it from the outset and had plans to use all four downs on every possession.
"We knew it was going to be a quarterback-fullback game," Reedy said. "I told our defensive coaches we're playing four downs all over the field. We knew we had to make first downs to keep them off the field. They stopped us on some but we made it enough to keep some drives going."
Park was 14 of 32 with two interceptions, both by Gators defensive back Omar McRae.
"You've got to be careful," McRae said. "He's a guy with a big arm that can sling it. He's got the arm (to throw it over your head)."
One of McRae's interceptions was at the goal line after Johnson's go-ahead score in the third quarter.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/015,521, filed Dec. 17, 2004, pending, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/845,029, filed May 13, 2004, now abandoned pending, which application is a continuation-in-part of PCT Application No. PCT/US03/29000, filed Sep. 15, 2003, pending. This application is also a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/400,309 filed Mar. 27, 2003, now abandoned, which application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/005,581, filed Oct. 26, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,576,992. U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 11/015,521, 10/845,029, PCT Application No. PCT/US03/29000 and U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 10/400,309 and 10/005,581 are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to aggregating integrated circuits and, in particular, to stacking integrated circuits in chip-scale packages and methods for creating stacked modules of chip-scale packages.
A variety of techniques are used to stack packaged integrated circuits. Some methods require special packages, while other techniques stack conventional packages.
CSP refers generally to packages that provide connection to an integrated circuit through a set of contacts (often embodied as "bumps" or "balls") arrayed across a major surface of the package. Instead of leads emergent from a peripheral side of the package as in "leaded" packages, in a CSP, contacts are placed on a major surface and typically emerge from the planar bottom surface of the package. The absence of "leads" on package sides renders most stacking techniques devised for leaded packages inapplicable for CSP stacking.
A variety of previous techniques for stacking CSPs typically present complex structural arrangements and thermal or high frequency performance issues. For example, thermal performance is a characteristic of importance in CSP stacks. Further, many stacking techniques result in modules that exhibit profiles taller than may be preferred for particular applications.
Staktek Group L.P., the assignee of the present invention, has developed a variety of stacked module designs that employ a form standard or mandrel that can provide thermal and/or construction advantages while providing a standard form that may allow use of a flexible circuit design with a variety of CSP types and body sizes. The mandrel or form standard stack designs come in a variety of shapes and sizes and materials. Some form standards extend beyond the perimeter edge or the extent of the CSP body and thus provide a form about which the flex circuitry transits.
Stacked module design and assembly techniques and systems that provide a thermally efficient, reliable structure that perform well at higher frequencies but do not add excessive height to the stack that can be manufactured at reasonable cost with readily understood and managed materials and methods are provided.
The present invention provides methods for constructing stacked circuit modules and precursor assemblies with flexible circuitry. Using the methods of the present invention, a single set of flexible circuitry, whether articulated as one or two flex circuits, may be employed with CSP devices of a variety of configurations either with or without form standards.
The invention is used with CSP packages of a variety of types and configurations such as, for example, those that are die-sized, as well those that are near chip-scale as well as the variety of ball grid array packages known in the art. It may also be used with those CSP-like packages that exhibit bare die connectives on one major surface. Thus, the term CSP should be broadly considered in the context of this application. Collectively, these will be known herein as chip scale packaged integrated circuits (CSPs) and preferred embodiments will be described in terms of CSPs, but the particular configurations used in the explanatory figures are not, however, to be construed as limiting. For example, the elevation view of
Typical CSPs, such as, for example, ball-grid-array ("BGA"), micro-ball-grid array, and fine-pitch ball grid array ("FBGA") packages have an array of connective contacts embodied, for example, as leads, bumps, solder balls, or balls that extend from lower surface 22 of a plastic casing in any of several patterns and pitches. An external portion of the connective contacts is often finished with a ball of solder. Shown in
Flex circuits 30 and 32 are shown in conjunction with CSP 18. The entire flex circuit may be flexible or, as those of skill in the art will recognize, a PCB structure made flexible in certain areas to allow conformability around CSPs and rigid in other areas for planarity along CSP surfaces may be employed as an alternative flex circuit in the present invention. For example, structures known as rigid-flex may be employed. More than one flex circuit may be employed to implement the connections between constituent CSPs in a module.
As shown in
Where employed, form standard 34 is disposed along a surface of a CSP even if literally separated from that surface by adhesive, for example. In this embodiment, form standard 34 is attached to flex circuits 30 and 32 with adhesive 35 and as shown, adhesive 35 has a portion 35B that extends beyond the extent of the form standard and about one major side of the flex circuitry.
Form standard 34 may take many configurations, but in preferred embodiments herein, it is substantially planar. A preferred embodiment is shown using a form standard 34 having a lateral extent smaller than the lateral extent L of CSP 18. Other embodiments may have a form standard 34 with a lateral extent larger than CSP 18. Other embodiments that employ form standards have a downward opening form standard shown in pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/453,398, filed Jun. 3, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,914,324, commonly owned by Staktek Group L.P., the assignee of the present invention. In some cases, embodiments that employ downward opening form standards that are disposed across the upper surface of and arc underneath the lower surface of the CSP with which the form standard is associated may exhibit higher profiles. Module contacts 38 are shown through which a module may connect to an application environments in a preferred embodiment. Those of skill will recognize that module contacts 38 which are balls are not required to connect a module to an application environment and other connective strategies may be employed such as, for example, direct pad to pad connection schemes.
As shown in
In a preferred embodiment, portions of flex circuits 30 and 32 may be attached to form standard 34 by adhesive 35, which, in a preferred embodiment, is a laminate tape adhesive. Other methods for attaching form standard 34 to flex circuitry may be employed in the present invention including, for example, liquid adhesive. Preferably, the adhesive will be thermally conductive. The depicted adhesive 35 is preferably disposed, after assembly, over a large portion of the curve 30A connecting the depicted upper portion 30U and lower portion 30L of flex circuit 30.
The depicted edge of form standard 34 in this embodiment is outside the lateral extent of CSP 18. Other embodiments may have extend further outside. Other embodiments, such as depicted earlier, may have a form standard 34 with a lateral extent smaller than that of CSP 18. Still other embodiments do not employ a form standard.
The depiction of
Other means may be employed to position or set edges 70A and 70B and, by extension, arrays 72A and 72B. For example, flex edges 70A and 70B may be devised to be jointly fittable with each other as shown in

I absolutely cannot believe that its September 1st... Mainly for two reasons.
Well, its not that late and I can't sleep so I thought writing it up would be a pretty good idea. We just flew to Colorado and all the girls are asleep cause they are sooooo old. But I'm the young whipper snapper of the group so I'm still wide awake. (make sure I never say "whipper snapper" ever again ok?) I also just went on a run right when we got here so I'm not all that sleepy yet. BUT just give it a second cause any minute I'll doze off and start drooling like my sisters do cause I'm actually officially old, just like them. Guys, I turned 25 yesterday. I 'm kinda freaking out, yet in a state of shock. And I know most of you are shocked cause you just realized that the youngest person in a group of girls that all look under the age of 18 is in-fact 25 years old. Yes, we look really young for our age. Everyone in my parents families look really young and we also buy stock in Botox. So that really helps....
Ok, so I know there's been a lot of you concerned about my health and whether or not I have rabies. (I know this cause I've received tweets about it.) So i found out that in my baby sisters last blog she mentioned that I had gotten rabies from a pet raccoon we used to have. For those of you that know us girls, you know we are very sarcastic. So, no I do not have nor have ever had rabies. We did have 6 baby raccoons as pets for a day, but i was never bit by one. I have however been bit by many other animals. No I'm not kidding- and my sisters seem to find it hilarious. For example, one year as kids our parents surprised us with a dog. I ran over to hug it cause I was so excited and it bit my neck. I didn't say a thing though cause I knew if my dad had seen it he would have taken the dog back. Lauren, however, takes the cake on animal stories. We had a rabbit that used to belong to a magician. It could pick a card from the deck, and even play dead.

Great product for children recognising numbers, counting - adding and subtracting. Easy to play. Brilliant educational game for individual play, or group/family interaction. My young Son loves to play this with his great-nan (suitable for ages 4-90) Hours of fun.Comes with a sturdy plastic storage tray.Totally impressed with this product - have already recommended this to friends and family.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

love this product!!

from Chattanooga, TN
Such a great way to help teach concepts of measurement, quantity, like/difference, addition and subtraction. The "logs" are plastic, but flexible. I find them to be quite sturdy, though. If you like montessori teaching concepts, these are an affordable alternative to the rods of measurement you see in preschool classrooms.I received a complimentary set and am providing my honest opinion. I would buy these again as a gift for a child in a heartbeat!

Recently I was DMing a game, and my players ran into a giant lizard. After they defeated it, they asked if they could skin the lizard and make it into armor. I basically just made it up on the fly; all that happened was they made a huge mess. What are the rules for skinning animals, if there are any?
There are no official rules for that in 1e. There are hunting and foraging rules in the AD&D Wilderness Survival Guide and nonweapon crafting proficiencies, including Leatherworker, in the AD&D Dungeoneer's Survival Guide, but they do not speak to specifics like amounts of raw material required or the skinning process. Just make it up; sounds like you did fine.
There are rules covering the making of armors in AD&D 2E Fighter's Handbook. They don't include the effects on manufacture of variant sources of leather. It is noted, however, that Hide armor is 2 points better than leather, but has worse penalties to Dex and thief skills...
Variant metal armors are in the AD&D 2E DMG.
Both can easily be used in AD&D 1E.
Since I am using the Core Rules 2.0 Expansion CD's RTF's, I can't give page numbers.
From the D20SRD:
I'd read that as you are able to use mundane Lizard scales to create mundane armor. I'd follow the same guidelines. Dragonhide makes masterwork armor, and I think that would be because dragons are innately magical. I'd say nonmagical animals would make regular (not masterwork) armor, but for simplicity's sake, I'd use the same size guidelines for dragonhide above.
If you are trying to get a set of armor for a Medium sized PC, you would need a Large lizard for Hide armor, Huge for Banded Mail armor, Gargantuan for Half Plate armor, and Colossal for Full Plate armor. I'm striking out on finding a stat-block for the Giant Lizard on Google, However, I'd rule that whatever size of tanned leather you need, you could substitute 4 hides of the next smaller size. (so 1 Colossal hide would be about equal to 4 Gargantuan, 16 Huge, 64 Large, 256 Medium, 1024 Small, 4096 Tiny, 16384 Diminutive, and 65536 Fine sized hides).
EDIT: The above should help with how much skin to make armor of various thickness. As for knowing how to make the armor, you will need:
I've had a Quick dig around my books and the Armorer non-weapon proficiency on page 52 of Oriental Adventures says that the character can make all the armor types in the OA book, and from any other AD&D book if they have a piece to copy from but they have to do it at a -2.
Skinning you can just run from the survival non-weapon proficiency
See the section on nonweapon proficiencies in the Dungeoneers Survival Guide, page 26 :
While none of the nonweapon proficiency skills explicitly covers the act of skinning the animal, it would not be a far stretch to say that to "tan and treat leather" would include getting the hide off the animal in question. It would also be fair to say that skinning an animal would be a part of the hunting skill. Details for the hunting skill can be found in the Wilderness Survival Guide, page 15. Again, it does not explicitly say it covers the act of skinning but what good is being able to hunt the game if you don't know how to clean/field dress it.
The mechanics of nonweapon proficiencies are simple enough. As seen in the Wilderness Survival Guide, page 11 :
In the case of leather working the check is against INT.
I will note that the section for success and failure of nonweapon proficiencies in the Dungeoneers Survival Guide, page 23, is not correct (the logic in the section detailing check rolls is reversed) and the one in the Wilderness Survival Guide, page 11, should be used as the check roll logic is correctly stated there.
My housemates blog that's recently started is doing a series of articles on house ruling skinning and trading hides, the article came about from the house rules we've used on occasion taken into further depth and balanced. http://swordandtorchinn.blogspot.co.uk/
The ruleset focuses on D&D 3.5 but can also be used for Pathfinder.
Skills that can be used: The Survival skill, Craft (Taxidermy), Profession (Hunter) can be used to recover valuable parts from slain creatures. Other useful skills will include Appraise or Profession (Hunter) which can be used to gauge the value of such an item, Knowledge (Nature) could help as well to identify animals with valuable pelts while Knowledge (Arcana) can be used to recognise creatures with spell component uses.
In the case of Aberration or Outsider it is recommended to start at DC 20 or 25 for more unusual creatures, though more animalistic outsiders like celestial animals or Yeth hounds can be treated as Magical Beasts. Failing a check by less than 5 reduces the pelt to poor quality pelt decreasing its value by 50%, failing by more than 5 makes the pelt worthless for anything more than scraps. Passing a check by 10 or more improves the quality of the pelt increasing its value by 50%.
A single medium size creature provides 20lb of hide, small creature 10lb and a tiny creature 5lb. For larger creatures continue to double the weight of hide I.E: a large creature provides 40lb and huge 80lb etc.
Determining the worth of hides uses the table in Dungeons and Dragons Arms and Armour Guide which states: pg:40

Then after running a blistering 21.07 in the 200 prelims on Friday, he ran 21.32 to finish fourth in Saturday's final. Waters earned 11 points for the Northridge men on Saturday.

Verizon iPhone: What you'll gain and what you'll give up
Verizon rumors have come to a boil over the past few weeks. Not only are we hearing Verizon rumors from reputable sources like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, we've heard from Verizon on the fact that they're trying to find a way to integrate simultaneous voice and data into their network. Some analysts may say this is to prepare for the launch of an iPhone on Verizon.
Whether or not you'd like to leave AT&T, we've got to face the fact that Verizon has its down sides too (aside from Apple and Verizon battling out their obsessive needs for control). One of those being that pesky simultaneous voice and data issue.
Sprint and Verizon both use a technology referred to as CDMA with the accompanying EVDO rev A data, while AT&T and T-Mobile use a technology referred to as GSM with EDGE and now HSPA for data. While CDMA may have better voice quality, none of the carriers have (yet) rolled out EVDO rev B which supports simultaneous voice and data, or committed to an EVDO rev A workaround to enable it with the current technology. They're all moving to LTE anyway, so it simply may not have been a priority.
What does this mean for the end user? It means you can't update your Facebook status, check your e-mail, or look something up on the web while on a phone call. Verizon has tried to downplay this in the past by saying simultaneous voice and data isn't all that important. Many business users may disagree. There's been numerous times I've went to look something up for a client while on the phone. Having to hang up with them in order to do that would become highly annoying for many business users who have become accustomed to being able to have that functionality.
Now it appears Verizon is willing to do something about it. No exact details have been given except for the fact that they are working on a solution that would offer simultaneous voice and data on their existing network. No firm date has been thrown out except that it should be available as of early next year.
One of things holding me back from Verizon is the fact that I can't browse and talk. CDMA is also a technology that isn't supported worldwide. I like knowing that if I choose to unlock my phone or buy an unlocked version, I can pop a foreign SIM in my phone and know it'll work in almost every country since GSM has become a worldwide standard. If Verizon makes the iPhone a world phone like they have with some Blackberries, I'd be more apt to set that concern aside.
Are any of these obstacles a big deal to you guys? Would Verizon solving these problems make you more apt to jump from the Death Star to Big Red? Let us know in the comments!

Verizon iPhone: What you'll gain and what you'll give up
and what about when you're not with your spouse or not near a hotspot? don't know about you, but i don't have my spouse with me in business meetings and when i'm at work, when i need simultaneous voice and data the most ;)
In my experience (at least in my area), CDMA has always has overall better penetration when it comes to voice calls. There's a substantial difference.
Nope, I agree with Mikey. CDMA call quality SUCKS! I had a Moto Droid and horrible voice quality was the MAIN reason I cancelled my contract prematurely. There was no since in having a Verizon phone if I had to hang up with clients and call them back on my AT&T phone. Sometimes I would hang up because they sounded bad and sometimes they would specifically ask... "is there another phone you can call me back from?"
Hmm, but didn't people say they don't use that much data since majority of the time they are on wifi? I've been with Sprint and I agree, majority of the time, I'm on wifi both with home/work. When I turned off wifi to use EVDO only (darn sprint making me pay $10 premium data, you bet I'll make use of it) I find I go about 5-6GB >.<
@Greg Foster
you guys must live in terrible or over-saturated CDMA areas, in our area, CDMA call quality is almost always superior. And I'm not in a tiny little area either, I'm in the Chicago area....
Even though it would be inconvenient to not be able to "talk & surf" simultaneously, I'm so upset with AT&T (dropped calls, inability/unwillingness to fix the fact that i have zero bars in my home, poor customer service, etc.) that I would make the switch to VZW regardless of the limitation. That being said, if it turns out that other features presently available on AT&T would not be supported on VZW, I would think twice. But if the only issue was simultaneous "talk & surf," goodbye AT&T.
One of the things that drove me insane with CDMA on a Verizon Treo 650 was that conference calls and multiple calls are handed. If you have 3 or more people on the phone at the same time, you cannot end a call with one of the parties. You had to ask one of the callers to hang up or end the conference call.
One consequence of this feature is that you can find yourself in voicemail + callback limbo. You call someone, they don't pick up in time and you're dumped to voicemail. The callee sees that they've missed a call and call back. Thus, you can have 2 calls on at the same time. You can answer the callee and leave a long silent voice mail or hang-up both and call back. Insanity!
And yeah, I had a lot of dropped calls with my Treo 650, and the volume was really low.
Really, your expectations would be too high if you expect great service from wireless carriers. Verizon is going to be expensive. I really don't have any doubts whatsoever about that.
It would be very hard to give up simultaneous talking and data. I can't tell you how many times I've been on a call when an e-mail relevant to that call has come in during the call. My wife has a Verizon BlackBerry, and it's a pain that she doesn't have that feature.
Naïvely, I had not realized that was a network situation (I thought it was an iPhone feature, not an AT&T feature). I don't have the huge AT&T problems others have (including friends of mine -- I realize it's a legit issue, it's just not my issue), so this might be a Verizon deal breaker for me.
Verizon's network, whether it is because of CDMA having an inherently better with the split voice/data channels or just because Verizon puts more effort into maintaining their network, has better call quality and better call stability. There have been numerous times I've been out in areas, especially rural areas, where even Verizon signal coverage was bouncing between 0-2 bars and still able to carry on a clear and stable phone conversation. I guess if Verizon is going to introduce VoiP system over their data channel for the iPhone the question will finally be answered of whether Verizon actually maintains a better network or if CDMA simply offers better call stability with the split channels. If the answer is the latter, hopefully they keep enough control to force Apple to give users the options in Settings to select either the 1x channel or the voice over the EVDO because to me call stability trumps being able to surf while on a phone call.
No voice and data at the same time is the dealbreaker. There is absolutely no way I could do my work with out it. Also the possibility that it wouldn't work all the time over seas is another deal breaker. I use AT&T because of it's international capabilities and the fact I can access important information about my client whilst on the phone with them. I would LOVE to switch over to Verizon, however until I get both international in all countries and I can receive data while on the phone, I will stick with AT&T
I never used the talking and web stuff till recently and I must say I love being able to do this now. I always said it was pointless really but after talking on the phone to a relative and checking my email/sending emails and reading a quick news post I said to myself that I need this feature now!
I have found I have been getting more dropped calls since At&t enable voice+data. In order to get a more reliable call, At&t suggested I turn of 3G data on my iPhone since I will be using a different part of the tower. I get much better signal strength when I do this. Hopefully Verizon can figure out the correct way to implement voice+data.
I enjoy just sitting back and listening to all the speculation about if or when the iPhone is going to Verizon. Personally, it makes no difference to me since I'll be sticking with ATT regardless. I've been with them and their predecessors since my first cell phone in the early '90s, and I've never had an issue with them. Call and data quality are both fine. The only thing that would concern me would be if ATT stopped carrying the iPhone.
I'd have to be on the Big V side this go round.
I have simultaneous voice/data. You want to know how often I use it? Never.
You and a few others say if you're in a business meeting or talking to a client, you'll need it.
Well 9 times out of 10...if you're talking to a client, you'll be at home or work. I'm SURE any normal person by now has wifi. If not, that's respectable. But now we get to the next point...home or work. Im' sure you have your computer (or that jazzy iPad/Tab that you felt was the missing link between phone and laptop).
So would it really be THAT hard to either connect to a wifi connection or computer to get faster speed than it would to be on a phone's network looking up something?
Simultaneous voice/data is just a major publicity stunt. If it was really THAT big of a deal...it would've been put out there...Verizon and Sprint wouldn't have any customers...and AT&T and T-Mobile would be the big dogs.
They should just do what a couple carriers did here in Canada (Bell and Telus), and setup a parallel GSM network. I know we're a lot smaller here, but they managed to do this in Canada on a huge scale, and now every carrier (pretty much) has the iPhone. Pretty big win for the consumer.
Verizon sticking with CDMA and finding some way to do voice + data at the same time doesn't solve the problem of CDMA being internationally unpopular. You'd still end up with an iPhone that won't work in many places.
I've had a lot of issues with call quality on AT&T lately. They eventually gave in and gave me a free microcell for home. At work I'm in 3G, around town I've got good service, I USED to have impeccable service at home until about 3 months ago. They're integrating Centennial Towers in my area like crazy and it's caused the service to take a huge crap in many areas. At home was one affected area. I'm lucky to get 1 bar of Edge (terrible huh?), so they gave me a microcell. I'm happy for now.
talk, surf and text at the same time.. and also, to my puerto rican friends, verizon, suck in puerto rico, and also you have to call them and let them know you are going to visit the island..
Ihate VERIZON. they always envi att because they have de iPhone.
has any of this been confirmed by either apple or verizon? why speculate on a speculation?
Actually it's the opposite. Calls take priority on Verizon so if you're streaming your stream will be inturrupted if you receive a call.
@iDavey "If it was really THAT big of a deal…it would've been put out there…Verizon and Sprint wouldn't have any customers…and AT&T and T-Mobile would be the big dogs."
Agreed. If Apple hadn't created the iPhone and went exclusive with AT&T, they'd probably be in similar shape right now as T-Mobile.
@Frank, Verizon CDMA phones can not do simultaneous voice + data, it isn't speculation. The only way voice + Data works at the same time currently is either using wifi, or if you're on Sprint using 4G/WiMax, unless you're referring to the iphone coming to Verizon? A lot of evidence is in place for it right now so this discussion kind of makes sense.
@Sarah Verizon going tiered has been rumored for some time now. I think their LTE service is definitely going to be tiered and it makes sense for 3G to be as well with the influx of devices using data plans. It'll cut bills for light users and for heavy users it'll raise their bills. Verizon wins either way. If they didn't have the best coverage in my area (I'm in and out of NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, etc) I wouldn't have 'em. They are very expensive already.
This is definitely not a problem for me since the amount of time I spend using data via 3g while on a call is very small. I always have wifi. AT&T is absolutely terrible in this area and are getting worse (not better). I will be making the jump to Verizon on the exact same day it becomes available. I will line up and wait if I have to.
Is this really that big of deal? I've had Verizon for 9 years and it has only come up a handful of times that I wished I could get both data and voice. Not a deal breaker for me.
Why does everyone say Verizon is expensive. I looked at switching to ATT and the plans were identical (except for rollover). ATT and Verizon have almost the exact same pricing. If Verizon is expensive, then ATT is expensive.
Hopefully with Verizon adding the IPhone, users will find out Droid is an operating system and not a phone. Huge misconception in the public on this issue.
I love being on a call and not having to stop what I'm doing. I've given directions to my friends on tmo at a stoplight and didn't have to end the call while finding the directions for her. This is the main reason I love ATT. I couldn't have a phone that couldn't multitask this way.
You know, there have been very few times I've used the simultaneous voice/data advantage with GSM in the 2+ years I've had an iPhone. I don't know if the average consumer would care if Verizon doesn't have that advantage.
@mom of naa
Wow, you shouldn't be driving on the phone looking up directions off google maps... Get off the road.
doesn't matter to me. i've never been on a call and then tried to use the net.
I have both carriers and I must say AT&T is 3 million times better. I love the fact that I can surf the web, do emails,and text while o. A call especially the boring calls that seem to drag on I can watch a movie and pretend to listen :) . Verizon my god they are over priced and they charge hidden fee's and let's not forget the eta fee, they don't have true 3G speeds their Evdo is compairable to EDGE as a matter of fact they do t even have true 3G lol. I would love to see Verizon "the nations largest network" handle the iPhone clogging up their network it's taken AT&T awhile to be able to handle the iPhone, don't get me wrong I love my ip4 but iPhones are network hogs there is no question about it I also hope that vzw dies get it because it will clear up AT&T's network and apple and AT&T can work on the next iPhone while vzw is dealing with upset customers that are pissed because they thought it was the iPhone that allowed true voice+data at the same time. Plus to be honest with vzw passing on the first iPhone and the control freaks they are apple will pull their pants down and say kiss my ass and we'll think about gracing your carrier with our products with no restrictions.
First of all verizon sux ass they say they have so called best service fact is it cuts out everywhere my girlfriend has verizon and i have att and shes always using my iphone cuz her droid sux ass and another thing if verizon thinks its going to stamp their gay name all over the iphone like all there others which ive seen stamped on at least 3 times like they dont want u to forget what crappy service your using apple wont allow that att not one dropped call yet for 6 years im in the cleveland area
GSM does have better voice quality and battery life than CDMA. Also, building penetration depends on the frequency. Lower freqs (700-800MHz) penetrate better. AT&T rolled out some new 800MHz in my area and I can tell you many times I get far superior signal to the folks on Verizon. Coverage and signal quality always depend on your location. It sounds like Verizon might have better service where you are in Chicago, but it's exactly the opposite in other places. Location, location, location. Still, besides the simultaneous voice and data thing, and the international limitations, GSM is the better technology. CDMA looks good on paper, but usually sounds worse and burns through batteries in the real-world. The only advantage Verizon has is broader coverage, but if you're in a good AT&T area there's no contest.
Verizon has no need to downplay anything. I've owned every version of the iPhone since it was released and have used that option once. As far as voice quality, all I know is I'm the one constantly dropping calls and being told my voice is fading in and out. I've never had Verizon but I find it hard to believe JD Powers and Associates and Consumer Reports are both wrong.
I was on Verizon for 4 years. Outside my current building is a tower of theirs and I couldn't get a signal 3/4's of the time. All day I'd drop calls while all the AT&T people were talking all the time. I called VZW up and complained about it and finally they said they weren't providing the service I was paying for and let me lose without any ETF fee's and I didn't need to pay my final bill. The lady even helped port my numbers over to AT&T that night for my entire family.
iDavey, simultaneous voice and data is not a publicity stunt. I totally get that it's not terribly relevant to your life, but it is to mine. I work in television, not only does the studio where I most often work not have wifi, but I'm often on location where one could not expect wifi. Recently, my father was having surgery, and I was in the hospital waiting room for many hours on three separate days. Again, no wifi, but I got a hell of a lot done there. I would not have felt free to be on the phone had I not been confident that my e-mails would come in regardless.
Clearly, there's no one feature that's the most important to everybody, and since I happen to live and work where there is almost always a strong AT&T signal (I know others do not have that luxury), I would not switch to Verizon (my old carrier, before the iPhone) if it could not do voice and data at the same time. Just my choice for my life. I don't expect anybody else to have the same life as me, so choose what suits you.
Last I heard, it was more important to make and maintain a phone call than worrying about having data while on a call.
I find it funny how everyone is speculating. Personally though I'm pretty sure AT&T knows that Verizon is getting the iPhone. Did anybody besides me get the booklet in the mail from AT&T stating the "Top 10 reasons iPhone works best on AT&T?" If so what was your first thought on that. Mine was why are they sending this out if Verizon ISN'T getting the iPhone. It only makes sense if they are getting it.
I will switch to Verizon the VERY day that it becomes available. Simultaneous voice and data sound cool, but I've had a 3GS for a year and a half now and used it twice. And both of those occasions, it wouldn't have been a big deal to hang up and send the email or look up something later. As for travel, I would be SHOCKED if this iPhone wasn't a world edition. I travel far more domestically than internationally anyway. It's that travel that drives me nuts with AT&T. My phone barely gets by where I live. When I go to California, or pretty much anywhere on the east coast the service is horrible. I can't even get a call let alone look up data at the same time.
I will stick with AT&T. I've had few issues with the service and have no compelling need to switch. That said, I'm constantly talking and using the Web on my iPhone. In my case, that would be a feature I would miss.
I've always found these 2 issues to be a dealbreaker. I will be staying with AT&T regardless of a new Verizon phone. I would however love to have a white iPhone 4.
I could care less if I can't talk and surf at the same time. I will be the first in line when Verizon sells the iPhone......PEACE OUT SPRINT
I always find myself using data and voice at the same time and couldnt live without. And with the only signal issues I have being at the major theme parks I'm more then happy with AT&T in Orlando.
12 months ago I would have jumped on the Verizon train. Today.....no way. Pay an early termination fee to sit around and wait for Verizon to figure out how to enable customers to talk and surf at the same time. What have they been doing? I have lowered my expectations with ALL wireless providers. A T&t was really bad at one point, but they are actively trying to improve service. I think that's really important in the grand scheme of things.
@John Compton. No, droid is not an operating system. Droid is a phone. ANdroid is the operating system. Clown.
I would never ever go back to Verizon for anything. Their coverage here sucks (AT&T is fine, so is T-Mobile) and their billing is ridiculous. Also more expensive.
SF & NY aren't the entire AT&T network. Verizon is no white knight either. Besides, there are large CDMA carriers in India & China. And these are still more unsubstantiated rumors by FINANCIAL analysts once again. They have been wrong every time before.
It's not official until Steve Jobs says it is.

Defensively, Carroll County put together one of its best performances of the season Friday, limiting Richland's powerful offense to 330 yards. In the end though, the Cavaliers couldn't muster enough offense of its own in a 28-7 Southwest District loss at Richlands.
With the Blue Tornado double-teaming Carroll County's top threat Chris Smoot at wideout, the Cavs struggled to get anything going on the offensive end. Although quarterback Connor Lundy hooked up with Smoot for a 24-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7-all in the first quarter, Carroll County (1-6, 0-2 SWD) was limited to 100 total yards of offense.
"They double-covered Chris all night so they kind of took us out of our game plan a little bit. We kind of expected that, but they also changed up their defense. They normally run a 6-2 and invert the safeties a lot. They did that early and then got into a 40 look and cut it inside a lot and double-covered us, and it just seemed like we were out of sync," Carroll County head coach Tom Hale said. "We dropped nine passes and I'm assuming we didn't have that many drops in all our previous games. We just weren't in sync and we didn't do a very good job offensively of picking up their stunts inside."
Richlands (7-1, 2-0 SWD) also was missing its top receiver, A.J. Johnson, and starting quarterback Grey Baker. With much of its passing attack sidelined, the Blues instead pounded the ball as Colton Staten ran for 210 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 24 carries.
Richlands struck first after Eric Johnson picked off a Lundy pass at the Carroll 30. Johnson capitalized on the turnover, scoring three plays later on an 8-yard touchdown run to put the Blue Tornadoes up 7-0. After a long kickoff return and a penalty put Carroll in business at the Richlands' 42, Lundy hooked up with Smoot on the 24-yard touchdown on fourth down. Ryan Ruiz's extra point tied the game at 7.
Richlands answered later in the opening quarter as Staten scored again, this time on a 50-yard run to put the Blues back in front 14-7. The score stayed that way until halftime as both defenses held each other in check the rest of the first half.
Richlands increased its lead to 20-7 on the first possession of the third quarter as Ben Brown connected with Todd McGlothlin for a 16-yard touchdown. Patrick Davis blocked the extra point.
After holding the Blues on their following possession, Carroll looked to be in businesses when Taylor Case broke an apparent 86-yard touchdown run. The score was taken off the board, however, after a holding penalty.
"I think that was the big turning point for us," Hale said. "We had a long touchdown run called back, so instead of being 20-14 it was still 20-7. That was a major hit for us emotionally."
Staten added a 30-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter for a 26-7 lead and Richlands tacked on a safety in the fourth when an errant Carroll snap deep in its own territory went into the end zone for a safety.
"Defensively it was a huge improvement over the previous week. Physically I feel like we did a pretty good job on them and I felt like our kids did a good job overall," Hale said. "We did give up a couple of big plays at what seemed like critical times, but I think defensively we played pretty well. What hurt us was our offensive performance. We've been moving the ball and scoring points since the Mount Airy game, but we just didn't seem to get on track."
Patrick Davis had an interception for Carroll and Daniel Wolford led the Cavs with 11 tackles and three assists. Garrett Burcham added seven tackles.
Carroll County will try to get back on track this Friday when it travels to Tazewell. The game will reunite Hale with his former long-time defensive coordinator Shane Allen, who is now the head coach of the Bulldogs' program.
"I'm torn of course because he and I were so close. I want him to do well, I just don't him to do well this week and I am sure he feels the same way," Hale said. "He has a young football team this year but he knows Carroll County, and of course we know him. They are doing basically the same things we are so it should be a heck of a game."
