How Samsung built their Galaxy on the back of Apple
It's widely known that, as Samsung re-invented themselves as a modern smartphone maker, they took considerable, almost absurd, inspiration from Apple. Yet copying design may not have been the only way Samsung used Apple's work to slingshot themselves to the top of the smartphone marketshare charts. Unlike every other Android manufacturer on the planet, Samsung was and is also Apple's manufacturing partner, and that might have given them a huge advantage in terms of financed capacity and knowledge of future plans. Horace Dediu addresses that very point on Asymco:
Receiving funds with which to build capacity is an enormous help when turning on production for your own versions of the product. With that knowledge and the capacity built to serve Apple, Samsung was able to go from near zero market share in smartphones to being the largest vendor in two years a feat that Apple itself could not accomplish.
James Allworth follows up on Asymco in greater detail, on how Apple can cope with this type of threat from Samsung.
So, what's Apple got to do? In so much as it is able to trust its suppliers of key components not to become competitors, it can continue to use them. But where it can't, or where those suppliers have already become competitors, it has only one sensible choice — replace them. It has two choices here: the first (and obvious one) is with another supplier. But that risks the same thing happening all over again — Apple nursing another supplier into a competitor. The second choice: for components and services that are critical to maintaining competitive advantage in the markets which Apple plays, Apple needs to build the components themselves.
Apple has already switched to designing their own chipsets with the Apple A6, and will be manufacturing a Mac in the US next year. The damage with Samsung is already done, however. Apple showed them how to design and manufacturer smartphones at scale, and Samsung, to their credit, learned quickly and well.
Arguably, Samsung hasn't -- yet -- done as well in tablets as it has in smartphones, but either way there's no putting their genie back in the bottle. All Apple can do now is prevent another partner from becoming a competitor.

How Samsung built their Galaxy on the back of Apple
You know what would be fun? If you guys actually read the article before making the jokes :)
It has nothing to so with "look" of the phone -- it has to do with the capacity to produce phones Samsung gained by being an OEM, then switching to making their own devices.
Apple sued Samsung (and only won here in the US where the jury was biased), and now Apple is cutting their ties with Samsung as fast as they can. Seems to me Apple is the bad guy. Tell me what Samsung is doing wrong? Why can't Samsung build the Galaxy S III, AND build iPhone processors?
Go home fanboy.
I got an iPhone 5 and a Galaxy Tablet, so I'm hardly biased. The fact that Samsung's phones and tablets happen to be very similar to iPhones and iPads is no coincidence. Hell, before iPhone, all of Samsung's smart phones looked like knockoff BlackBerries. Apple has as much right to protect their intellectual property as any other company.
+1... Koreans did follow the same strategy with cars and all the other products ...and did never apologize to any one...they don't know what's moral, honesty or far-play... they have no problem with :stealing other peoples ideas...paying corrupt judges... killing and eating dogs...they are unmoral & dishonest liars...I was working for Korean companies for over 20 years... bin there many times... they think they are the greatest in everything ...but only, what they are really good in... is: eating dogs and copy-cats ... believe me ...DUDES
U just showed Ur identity...DUDE....Ur real name is probably Some Skunk Kim... ait.... because this racism argument is the most popular reaction one get from a Korean if he is criticizes him for what ever reason... in fact Koreans are the biggest nationalists I ever met... U guys also seems to be confused by the meaning of the word RACIST ...U see.... when U call Japanese people: stupid ugly monkeys, which I heard many times in Korea... that is a racism .. or if I would call ya: a yellow dog-eating Pig with slashed eyes... nun... that would be racism too... which I didn't... did I ?
I await you're evidence of juror bias in the verdict.
Also verdicts will be different in different countries because the law is different in different countries. Holding an ounce of weed may get you arrested in Alabama. It won't in Amsterdam.
Additionally, all the cases don't deal with all the same issues. You can't simply lump them all together like they are all going to be decided one way, on just one issue, based on a single legal standard. That's not how it works.
most reports would say other countries hate america, so wouldnt by your same argument, mean that all the other countries that apple did not win in were biased against the american company?
They lost in Europe with the tablet suit. They didnt win the tablet suit in the US either. So stop with the conspiracy theories..
I did read the article. There was no actual news there. It was stuff that we all have known for a while. But, laced with pejoratives like "Samsung built their Galaxy on the back of Apple," and Samsung took "absurd" inspiration from Apple.
Why was it absurd? Was it absurd when Apple got their inspiration for much of their early computer technology directly from Xerox? No. It was smart. And what Samsung has done was also smart. And what Apple did by way of teaching Samsung how to beat Apple at their own game was dumb. Almost absurd, even.
Did any of you read the article? Nothing fanboy about it. Read the links, this is about how apple may have been very shortsighted about using Samsung and their primary manufacturer since it gives them so much knowledge of the smartphone world inside details with appe doing the investing. It's pretty negative on apple because it is
calling them stupid for not recognizing this. It says 'Samsung, to their credit..." has taken advantage of this.
Nothing fan boy-ish?
"It's widely known that, as Samsung re-invented themselves as a modern smartphone maker, they took considerable, almost absurd, inspiration from Apple. "
And Apple didnt reinvent themselves by stealing ideas from Xerox in the 80's? There is even footage of Steve Jobs saying he steals ideas yet you hold Samsung to a considerably, almost absurdly, different standard.
If the article was about Apple getting ideas from Xerox, I am sure it would have been mentioned. But this article is about Apple and Samsung. There was no comparision between who stole the most, hence no need to mention the former..
Regarding iMore articles... I would expect them to lean Apple's way a bit. I love Android, but Android sites are just as bad or worse. The titles of the articles could be a bit less provocative I would think (many times they beg for responses), but otherwise I think articles here are pretty par for the modern blog world, at least IMO.
As for the article, I think it is interesting. It seems to have interesting (if not obvious) points about what enabled Samsung to grow in the smartphone world. What is given less weight than it probably should have though, is the fact that Samsung - long before the iPhone - was already a master of mass production - and yes, supply chain efficiency - in all kinds of technology, from TVs to refrigerators. It definitely helped being Apples main supplier, no question. However, I think a little TOO much weight regarding that is given here overall.
"I think a little TOO much weight regarding that is given here overall."
It's not too much if your mission is to prop up the idea that Samsung totally ripped off Apple and owes the major part of their success to Apple. And that Apple was the original inventor of all the technology and design that goes into the iPhone and iPad.
You made this too easy;
The pull quote from the article that reads like a history lesson on Steve Jobs;
Among the documents obtained from Apple was the e-mail Mr. Jobs sent in 2001 to his lieutenants after seeing an article in The New York Times about Scopeware.
"Please check out this software ASAP," he wrote. "It may be something for our future, and we may want to secure a license ASAP."
Now go read the whole story. Then get back to us on all that technology & design that Apple 'invented' as you say.
Are you talking to me? If you actually read what I've written, you may figure out that my whole point was that Appple did not invent a lot of the stuff they're selling. They got their ideas from other people. So, slamming Samsung for taking ideas from Apple and running with them is completely hypocritical.
My mistake. I read your comment out of context. My apologies for that.
I all but quit visiting this site (even though I own an iPhone 5 among the 4 other smartphones we have) due to Rene's absolute obsession with Samsung & putting them as the greatest copycat ever all the while refusing to even acknowledge Apple's own checkered past of glaring IP theft. I'll leave the link up there for others to possibly read a little truth about their beliefs of Apple's perfection & oh so mighty originality.
My apologies again for singling you out.
If you put a windows phone (especially the 920 and the 8X), you could tell the difference. The UI on Windows Phone is a lot more unique and isn't a boring grid of icons.
i swear this site is obsessed with samsung...you might aswel make it a samsung and apple site...i have read the article and the comparison to asus and dell is wrong and why? because unlike asus samsung allready were huge,they allready had huge plants,were allready making smartphones,tvs etc you could very much say that the fact that apple were working with these huge companies like creating chips with samsung is helping apple because they are now able to create chips by themselves by working with people who actually make them...its a 2 way thing cause when you are working with someone you also learn things yourself.
As i touched on below, i think there is a real blind spot in the western smartphone world that thinks samsung just makes phones. Which is quite interesting considering i'm live in Cali and i'm currently typing this while watching my 50 inch Samsung flat screen, across from my Samsung refridgerator, which is next to my Samsung microwave, and later i'll go play some xbox which has an old samsung hard drive inside it's expansion pack, only 20GBs but my friend gave it to me so free is free.
"It's widely known that, as Samsung re-invented themselves as a modern smartphone maker."
I disagree with that statement. It seems to follow the common error on smartphone websites that Samsung is a phone company. It is not. It makes much much more than phones. Thus, Samsung has not re-invented themselves. Samsung largely engages in the businesses it has for quite a long time now. Samsung has for a very long time sold, broadly speaking, consumer electronics (including mobile phones), large and small appliances, built boats, oil rigs and commercial buildings, and sells countless electronic components including screens, memory, and chips. The fact that phone enthusiasts focus almost exclusively on their phones doesn't mean Samsung now sells only phones. And they have been selling more then phones for a quite some time. Reinvention is a wholesale change. I don't see that. I see them merely taking advantage of already making phones thus having a chance to cash in on a lucrative market. Yes, Samsung now makes lots smartphones. But to boil them down to a company that is just phones is a gross oversimplification in my opinion.
Who can really know if it apple that nurture samsung or the way around, unless you are the person the one that make decision.
Producing the large amount of apple product doesn't mean that apple is nurture samsung. Maybe it's just samsung evolve & learn to meet their customer demand.
Also, why not think that samsung nurture apple? Remember in the beginning, apple didn't design their SoC they just stamp it with their name, only lately they start to design their SoC. Does it mean you can argue that samsung nurture apple to make a lot of money with samsung technology until they can hire the correct people and create their own design?
Just give you insight of the other side of coin. :)
I don't think Renee meant Samsung became mainly a smartphone maker, but that that side of their business was greatly reinvented.
Where's the "how Apple learned to design their own chips on the back of Samsung?" Or "How Apple learned to do their own Maps on the back of Google?"
Samsung paid attention and did what anyone else could do early on. They copied Apple on a lot of things down to icons and what the screen looks like with their skin (touchwhiz or whatever). It's the marketing, the one brand (galaxy), and the decent screens not to mention the early Nexus's (so a more exclusive relationship with Google) that propelled Samsung into the number one android maker. HTC, Moto, and others just couldn't compare.
With the Galaxy brand taking off and launching the same devices (or closely the same) on all carriers, that, more than anything, was the turning point. Consistency in a world of too many different android offerings. Samsung then focused on what the iphone wasn't. Bigger screens. What the iphone couldn't do because iOS doesn't scale like android. Bigger screens. So came the Note. Bigger Galaxy phones.
Samsung was already a leading phone maker before Apple came along. Different brands on different carriers. Instinct? Sprint got an android from Samsung shortly after the Palm Pre came along (along with HTC Hero). Both those android phones took over on Sprint and buried the plagued Pre. But Samsung was a mess with its different brandings of the same phone made different for each carrier. If anything, the iphone and their own stumbling taught them to trash everything and go with one brand (Galaxy).
But the point is, Samsung went through its growing pains. The Galaxy didn't just come about because they supplied Apple.
Where's the "how Apple learned to design their own chips on the back of Samsung?" Or "How Apple learned to do their own Maps on the back of Google?"

Both those android phones took over on Sprint and buried the plagued Pre. But Samsung was a mess with its different brandings of the same phone made different for each carrier. That's what changed mostly.
This isn't so much hindsight either. People were buzzing at the time that Samsung and other makers didn't need all the cute throwaway names. Apple was lightyears ahead in marketing.
Re: "Apple was lightyears ahead in marketing."
If by "marketing" you mean hiring a better ad agency, I agree.
If by "marketing" you mean signing deals with music, TV, and movie content providers, I agree.
If by "marketing" you mean "letting the product sell itself," I agree.
But if you think "marketing" is the reason for Apple's success, then no, I don't agree. That's a typical bitter Microsoft Apologist (tm) put-down. And a favorite Fandroid Troll (tm) keyword.
Every company goes through a life cycle whereby they rise, peak, and then fall. I think Apple has peaked and it shows in their stock price. They can't keep up the pace of the last few years. Apple fans have to realize that they aren't the second coming. Samsung is now firing on all cylinders and Apple is no longer innovating. I predict bad times ahead for Apple.
I've had 3 iphones and 2 Samsungs and the S3 is the best phone I've ever used. Don't get caught up on brand loyalty, it's useless and only serves corporate interests. Get the best phone and you will benefit.
To touch on your last sentence....what A LOT of the more ummm, "passionate" people (iOS users, Android users, the 27 people that use WindowsPhones, etc....) don't realize is that there is no "best phone", only the best phone for YOUR OWN usage patterns/needs. Everyone's mobile needs are different, so the best for 1 won't be the best for another.
You last statment os why I choose iPhone. As my name might suggest, I used ti use Android phones, but I have come to realize that Apple devices, iPhone, iPad etc, better serve my needs. I dislike Android as a platform, especially skinned versions. But I agree with you, we must all choose what best serves our needs.
Are you implying that Samsung one of the largest electronics and semiconductor manufacturers in the world somehow needed Apple in order to learn how to quickly mass produce components, I think you're putting the cart before the horse on this one, since Apple partnered with Samsung because they had the know how and ability to produce the needed components. Lest you forget Samsung was one of the companies that developed 3g and LTE technologies and hold FRAND patents on both, yes their smartphone market was small but they had a decent cellular phone market.
This has been pretty standard for all industries.
Before all that was Commodore back in the Calculator wars with Ti. When Ti decided to undercut them on calculators, Commodore bought their own chip maker MOS in order to never be under the heel of a competitor. This, from stories of those days, ended up putting Atari under Commodore's heel since MOS supplied many of the ROMs for their cartridges. Commodore went on to use MOS to develop chips for their computers after giving up the calculator business. The VIC and SID chips of the Vic-20, 64 and 128. The 6502, 6510 and 8502 processors of the Pet through 128 and the processor of the early Apple 8bit machines. Custom chips in the Amiga line. It allowed them to undercut all other computer makers of the time through this 'vertical integration'.
There is nothing wrong with Samsung using their profits to develop their own business even if they come from a competitor. It is Apples fault for not being vertically integrated, something they seem to be wanting to move toward by sticking toes into CPU modifications and bringing some manufacturing back here to the States. In fact, if could be said that Apple should have seen it coming when they rely on companies who already manufactured products in those markets.
What you didn't point out was that if Apple enables another company -- say, Sharp -- to become a competitor, they would become more of a competitor to Samsung, too. While Apple, Samsung and (say) Sharp are competitors in the overall smartphone and tablet markets, Samsung and Sharp would be competitors in the Android smartphone and tablet markets. It would be the best course of action for Apple: divide and conquer. Split the power. Good business move.
I own a KIA and that product is a huge turd the quality of the materials is crap the service is crap because its a cheap knock off. Well guess what. Samdung is also just a cheap knock off of Apple and no amount of Korean crying will change that. Drop tests made by hemaroid fanboys proved that one long ago. So suck it Korea you make cheap crappy products that are strait up ripp offs of the originals.

But first they were to play in the region final four Wednesday and Thursday at Greenbrier High School in Evans, hoping to steal a region crown or, at the least, earn a high seed for the state playoffs.
Jones County, which won the 2010 state championship, failed to advance to the state playoffs for the first time since 2000 when it fell in the second round of the Region 3-AAAA playoffs last season. But that was a very strong region that saw all four teams that qualified for state advance to the Elite 8 and three of them, Northgate, Whitewater and Ola, finish first, second and third in the state, in that order.
Now up a class, the Lady Hounds' new region hasn't proved as challenging top to bottom, but it will still be a tall order for Blake Lyons' sophomore- and freshmen-heavy lineup to finish first or second in the region final four to earn the right to host a first-round series in the state playoffs, which start Oct. 10.
The Lady Hounds (14-14-1), the second seed from the B subregion, were to face host team Greenbrier (22-6), the top seed from the A subregion, in the opening round at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. Greenbrier is the school Jones County beat in the championship game in 2010, so it has a long winning tradition in softball, and the Wolfpack is ranked sixth in the state coach's poll, the only team in the region included in the top 10.

Paper downplayed Obama re-election
On Nov. 6, the citizens of the United States of America exercised their right to vote. To some citizens that right is more important because of the ancestral sacrifice, bloodshed and hard work that for it. Every Presidential election is an important event in our country.
So naturally, I thought on Nov. 7 the front page of the Aiken Standard would have a picture of our a country's elected president. However, the headline read "Electoral Lock" and subtitled "Obama projected winner by early media outlets."
The picture showed Obama supporters. I realize that this is an Associated Press article. I also realize that the election outcome was very early on Wednesday morning, probably after press time.
However, on Nov. 8, the front page of the Standard read "Obama heads back to divided government. This Associated Press article was found at the bottom of the front page. The newspaper to not fail to include an African American young male on the front page at the top who is sought for attempted murder.
I was disappointed to see how the re-election of our president was downplayed.

Honor servicemen who died in Libya
I am writing this letter regarding the deaths of the two Navy Seals killed in the attacks on our embassy in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.
Being a 100 percent disabled Marine Vietnam veteran, I have numerous medals that reflect my sacrifice for my country, which brings me to the reason for writing.
Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, the two former Navy Seals who died defending our country in a civilian capacity as security personal, should not go unrecognized for their heroism and valor.
Their families should not have to bear the thought that their loved ones won't be honored with a keepsake that they can hold to remind them of the heroes that they are.
Therefore, through my representatives in South Carolina, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, Reps. Jeff Duncan, Joe Wilson and Trey Gowdy, I have requested that they see to it that the aforementioned receive the civilian Presidential Medal of Freedom or like medal if there is one to honor these two men and the others that died trying to save Ambassador Chris Stevens and protect our sovereign ground.
It's my opinion that the political battle to get to the truth should not take precedence over the families who deserve to have their loved ones recognized now.

Midwest Living Review
It's hard to resist the lure of an old covered bridge, especially one in a really pretty spot. So if you're anywhere near Cedarburg, get onto Covered Bridge Road and look for this Wisconsin treasure. Built in 1876 in rare lattice truss construction secured by 2-inch hardwood pins, the pine bridge—once called Red Bridge because it was originally painted red—measures 120 feet by 12 feet. Back then, it wasn't anything too special because there were more than 40 covered bridges in the state. Over time, though, the bridges fell into disrepair and were replaced by modern structures. Luckily, the Ozaukee County Board voted in 1940 to preserve this bridge as a historic monument, and today it's Wisconsin's last remaining covered bridge.
The bridge spans Cedar Creek, which meanders north through Cedarburg and west until it peters out near Jackson. Park in the lot tucked back from the road and take in the view: The picturesque creek winding through a rustic stand of trees, then slipping under the old bridge, whose expansive graying flank has a charming elegance. Then walk through the bridge, which sits alongside the paved road. You can almost hear horses clip-clopping across the bridge, and you might swear you spied a wagon wheel disappear inside. Look in the upper left-hand corner (northwest side) for the initials T.H. scratched into the soft pine by one of the bridge's builders, Timothy Hickey, 130 years ago.

John Coltrane and Duke Ellington
July 17, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
I'm listening to Mid-Day Jazz with Rhonda Hamilton (as usual) and she decided to play Trane and Ellington's version of "In a Sentimental Mood." I thought it was a really intriguing choice of tune. Usually, this tune is associated with a sultry or romantic evening...or just relaxing at home alone, or something. Probably a bit cliché, but none the less kinda true. But at 11 AM, I think it's such a thought-provoking choice of tune...and I must say I'm loving it. It has a refreshing connotation...almost like my morning coffee, and I'm appreciating the tune all over again, as if for the first time...hearing it now, takes me to a certain time and place.
I have to start off by saying that I know this album extremely well. It's probably the 3rd earliest memory of music overall, that I have. My parents would play this album when I was just a toddler. I can still remember seeing the vinyl propped up against the baseboard. The black and orange look of the album cover with the photo of John and Duke in a circle was always magical to me. I suppose I had no choice but to fall in love with the record, as much as my mom played it, LOL! Plus, I was named after one of the tunes on the record. "Angelica" was their inspiration, though they switched up the spelling a bit. Anyway, I'm saying all of this to say that this is one of these records where I know every note...every inflection...but hearing it this morning gave me a totally new (yet subconsciously retro) perspective. That's was great music does. It allows you to rediscover it...redefine it for yourself, over and over again, decade after decade. Thanks, Rhonda!
Great Live Moments - Philly Joe Jones
July 17, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Great Live Moments
By the 1980's, jazz drummer Philly Joe Jones had formed Dameronia, a group dedicated to playing the music of the great pianist, composer and arranger Tadd Dameron. Dameron was a major influence of the drumming giant early in his career. Dameronia was well-received and produced a few LP's with this musical concept. Listen to the "Tadd's Delight" from 1983 featuring Charles Davis on saxophones, Walter Davis, Jr. on piano and Larry Ridley on bass. It is imaginable that Jones had a dual love playing this tune. In addition to honoring Dameron, Miles Davis, who was another major influence (and colleague), made the tune famous in the 1950s. We originally recorded this special date live in 1983 from the Jazz Forum in New York City. This recording is particularly a highlight, as it was not long after, that jazz would lose this innovative drummer to a fatal heart attack.
Jones, who would have turned 85 this month, remains one of the quintessential drummers of this genre.
Great Live Moments - Joe Henderson (1937-2001)
July 15, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Great Live Moments
Born and raised in Lima (LYE-ma), Ohio, the saxophonist Joe Henderson was the thirteenth of 15 children. The oldest living sibling is Troye Henderson, born in 1924. We reached out to brother Troye to ask permission to share "Recordame" from the WBGO archive with you, and to ask about Joe.
When Joe - very very young at the time - was learning the saxophone, Troye played his recording of "DB Blues" by Lester Young, and told Joe to learn the first three notes and when he knew them, learn the next three. Joe became so good that - when Stan Kenton's and Lionel Hampton's big bands came through Lima - family members took Joe (underage) to the shows, and the leaders invited him onstage. Joe called Troye his mentor, and Troye was a lifelong fan who would jump in his car and drive across state lines to hear him.
After the Army, Joe Henderson lived in San Francisco, close to San Francisco State University. Saxophonist Andrew Speight (SPITE) - now on the faculty there - says that, though not formally affiliated with SFSU, Henderson taught lots of people in the Bay Area and had the respect of all musicians. When he passed, people "grabbed and secured his stuff," so that it would not be lost to jazz history.
Andrew and others at SFSU are setting up a home for the collection, the Joe Henderson Institute. They hope to find a qualified grad student who will organize the music manuscripts, many many tapes of practice sessions and gigs ("live bootlegs") that Joe recorded, released records, awards, and other people's manuscripts of Joe's playing. It's a long process, slowly beginning.
The Institute will be part of the Generations Project, under the umbrella of the International Center for the Arts at SFSU. The Project also holds hours of SFSU video of the late pianist Ronnie Mathews (1935-2008), who was involved - along with drummer Jimmy Cobb - in studying group creativity.
Players like Henderson, Mathews and Cobb came up playing a lot of gigs in a lot of great bands with distinctive group sounds. In a split second, the musicians would negotiate questions - right there on the bandstand, creatively, through their music - not as stars but as .. brothers is the word that comes to mind. Brother Troye says when the Joe Henderson Institute is finally open for business that, just as he did when Joe was alive, he'll drive from Ohio to California to be there!
Listen to Joe's "Recordame" with Curtis Fuller, Fred Hersch, Marc Johnson, Roy Haynes.

Shoppers still more likely to buy on iOS than Android, 5x as much over Christmas!
People in the U.S. were more likely to use an iPhone or iPad over an Android phone or tablet to shop online this holiday season . While the majority of online shopping took place on traditional computers, 48% of shopping traffic came from mobile devices, up 28.3% from last year. When it came to actual sales, more people chose iPhones and iPads, rather than Android devices, to make their purchases, according to a new report from IBM:
As a percentage of total online sales, iOS was more than five times higher than Android, driving 23 percent vs. 4.6 percent for Android. On average, iOS users spent $93.94 per order, nearly twice that of Android users, who spent $48.10 per order. iOS also led as a component of overall traffic with 32.6 percent vs. 14.8 percent for Android.
IBM also found that while smartphones were more popular when it came to finding gifts, more people bought things using tablets. Smartphones we're responsible for 28.5% of shopping traffic compared to 18.1% for tablets, but tablets saw 19.4% of sales, with smartphones accounting for just 9.3%. Tablet users also spent a bit more, with each tablet order averaging about $95.61 per order, compared to $85.11 per order for smartphone users.
Did you do your holiday shopping with your iPhone or iPad this year? Let us know in the comments.

Shoppers still more likely to buy on iOS than Android, 5x as much over Christmas!
Wrong. Amazon app on android is quite nice. I used it for the majority of my shopping since I had barcode scans as a list.
Can't speak for eBay though.
I didn't see this in the article, but I'd be curious if this included app usage. As in going to Amazon in Safari vs the app. I almost never do it on a browser, always the respective app.
I'm not surprise by this report. I believe each device attracts a different type of user. I think the iOS user seek for conveyance and quality experience. Which also result in spending money.

Such a blanket statement with such a limited set of data. The data isn't wrong, that's not my point, but your title is misleading.
As mentioned in another comment, are apps reported? If so, Amazon? Walmart?

As 2014 comes to a close, the Country Universe staff has been collectively impressed by the number of quality albums that were released this year. How many of those albums, however, will we still be listening to in twenty years?
We have that benefit of hindsight for the year 1994, and we've compiled our twenty favorite studio sets from that year. At their time of release, some of our favorites were comeback albums from veteran artists, some were from current artists reaching new artistic and commercial peaks, and some were debut sets from artists that went on to become mainstays on country radio or in the Americana music scene that was just coming together twenty years ago.
What they all have in common is that each and every one of them still sounds great today, and they collectively show the wide breadth that the country music landscape was transforming into as the genre reached wider levels of popularity than it had ever seen before.
Randy Travis
This is Me
Travis' legendary status was practically secure by 1994, but This is Me shows an artist neither resting on his laurels nor struggling to keep up with the young new talent of the era. The album serves up one solid song after another, with its best tracks delivering clever new takes on signature country themes, thus further advancing an already respectable legacy. – Ben Foster
Recommended Tracks: "Before You Kill Us All", "This is Me", "The Box"

Good way to hide the test results is to pull out of the fight first lol
Good way to hide the test results is to pull out of the fight first lol
Vitor Belfort's lawyer says random NSAC test results 'not relevant'
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Totally iffy... But I don't damn a man on iffy...
I'm sure we'll get edited details of the test from Belfort and Co. in due cause
Not damming the man on iffy. My apologies if my post gave you or anyone that implication. Just my speculation on the matter. Isn't this what forums are for? To add your opinion on a matter. I don't know for sure if that was his intentions just sayin maybe he knew and didnt want the public to criticize him for it. Maybe he didnt pissed hot. Maybe he didnt sign cause in all reality the only people who need this info is him and the commission. I like vitor and always have (except when I thought he killed Matt linland). Do I think he's a cheat? No not really. I think his skill set alone gives a lot of fighters trouble.
There is a difference between refusing extra testing, and withholding results of an already taken test. A big, mega huge, giganterous difference. It's apples, because it's annoying to go to the store for extra apples when you got enough apples at home, and oranges, when the oranges can be picked up by someone else, and all you have to do is say ok, get them.

I like to use this as an eyeshadow base because it enhances the colour and increases the staying power of the eyeshadows. I tend to use it with a brush because I generally find it hard to get my fingers into this sort of container (I have long nails), and it also helps to get the best application and coverage. The colour is easy to make opaque, or to blend out depending on the look you want, but I would say the finger is probably the best blending tool, as the heat will help a lot. I find the colour looks fine on its own under the eye, but on the actual lid I think some wouldn't find the colour particularly pretty, so I would recommend it more as a base than an eyeshadow.

So hard to scoop out of the pan and even harder to get to spread against my eyelid. Has the consistency of frozen butter, the color is not warm enough for even my cool based skintone, ends up looking dirty on my eyelids. VERY hard to blend. I like the other non-matte color tattoos much much better.

Tough as Taupe is a mauve-tinted gray with neutral-cool undertones. It's opaque and feels very smooth. Though I don't have it, it seems like it would be similar to MAC Stray Grey. MAC String-a-long may also be similar but I don't own it to tell you how similar. Urban Decay Bust is browner. theBalm Come Hither Heather is lighter. MAC Interior Life is slightly darker. NARS Delphes is similar.

Anderson Silva plots revenge, defies 'clowning' critics: 'It should continue, it's part of the show'
"If Muhammad Ali came up saying I wasnt humble, then Id think if I was humble or not," he said in a Sunday interview on Brazil's Globo TV. "There was no lack of respect. I respect everybody. All the provocation, hands down... It should continue, its part of the show"
Still, he acknowledges that he made mistakes.
His longtime coach Cesario Bezerra, speaking in a separate interview with Globo, alluded to issues with focus that dated back to his time in training camp.
"He regrets it, lost his focus," Bezerra said. "He apologized, but its done. The important [thing] is that he has a chance to do it all over again. We lost three months. Anderson is complicated, there are too many things around him. We recently had a problem in the gym and I told him: Anderson, your job is with the hands, legs. Dont listen to those people, youre not a Hollywood star. Dont forget where you come from, things youve been through. Youre the UFC champion. Youre the star inside there, but here you need to be a simple man. That good and humble man. I dont understand whats happening to you.' Im one of his oldest coaches here in Rio, so he listens to me. He answered me: Do you think so, master? And I said: Of course. It wasnt nice. I dont know what youre doing, but youre letting success come to your head, losing humility.' He got upset when I said that, but he later recognized."
Bezerra said even in Silva's corner on fight night, his team tried to wake him up, "scolding" him on one occasion, but there was a sense that Silva knew exactly what he was doing, and that he would emerge victorious as he always had.
After he lost, though, he admitted that he struggled, and that he couldn't hit Weidman. At least part of the problem, in Bezerra's mind, is too many cooks in the kitchen; as many as 40 coaches for various things. That means too much information and not enough focus. But he said, that is how Silva likes it.
"Nobody likes to lose," Silva said. "I train four months to win. But you end [up] learning with your mistakes, and I learned the worst way possible. After everything that happened, we calm down and I realized I had something to question, even question Anderson Silva. I lost to myself, and thats the worst loss. Losing by knockout shakes you, [it] will be in history, but will leave a lesson."
Silva also seemed annoyed by rumors of a fix, saying no true fan would ever suggest such a thing given his respect for the sport's fans and for Brazil. In December, he plans to show the win was just a harsh lesson. One day, the 38-year-old "Spider" will fight no more. But for now, he has designs on proving he is still the best.
Bezerra certainly thinks he'll prove that, guaranteeing "100 percent" that Silva will get the belt back, and that if his charge fights seriously, he'll finish Weidman inside of two rounds.
"Everybody has to retire, but its not my time yet," Silva said. "Ill get a rematch. Chris gave me this opportunity and were fighting again. Thats another chance to overcome, reinvent myself as a person and athlete."

Life is filled with uncertainties. Webster's New World Dictionary defines the word uncertain as "questionable; problematical and doubtful." It is not steady or constant.
Many things in life are uncertain. Somebody said, "Only two things are certain — taxes and death." Taxes hit us every year. Death will come but once. The important thing is to be ready when that moment arrives.
People die at all ages. Some die as young children, as teenagers or in their twenties. Others live much longer. I have known people who lived for more than 100 years. The Bible records that people once lived to be hundreds of years old.
Methuselah lived to be the oldest man ever. As far as we know his father, Enoch, did not die. The record says, "Enoch walked with God, then he was no more, because God took him away" (Genesis 5:24, NIV). "Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years" (v. 23), Enoch's son, "Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died" (Genesis 5:27, NIV).
Read chapter five of Genesis for the line of Adam who "lived 930 years, and then he died" (vs. 5). The sons and daughters of this historic period had excellent genes and the proper diet for longevity. Maybe they knew something we do not know.
In recent weeks good friends, some of my oldest and best have died. The day before completing this column, I attended the funeral of my friend, Clarence Eugene Kemper of Scott Depot, WV. We had been schoolmates at Decota Grade School, Leewood Junior High and at East Bank High School. He was one of the finest men I have ever known, a man of strong and deep Christian faith.
Recently my senior classmate at Hurricane High, Troy Rooper died. I saw him at church every Sunday morning. Troy was a teacher and craftsman, a man of unusual skill and ability who was married to a younger classmate, the beautiful Patsy Joyce.
On July 6, I was in Galesburg, IL, to speak at the memorial service for Richard Larson, whom I met in 1964 in Decatur, IL. This brilliant accountant with his wife, Marie, and five children – Lloyd, Chris, Juanita, Jeanette and Marjorie, were a model family in terms of community, school and church.
On Sunday evening, July 28, I was a speaker for the funeral service of my long-time close friend and graduate school classmate, the Rev. Dr. Jim Chapman, a nationally known churchman who had successfully served as a missionary, pastor, educator, businessman and financial advisor. This multitalented man, a significant mentor for others was nationally known for his leadership abilities.
My friend since college days at Anderson University, David Lynch, was one of the finest pastors I ever knew. He was a freshman when I was a college senior. I was a guest speaker over the years in churches he served. He and his wife, Wanda, helped build Eastside Church of God to be one of the largest and most influential churches in Anderson, IN.
These men left a bright and confident testimony of their faith in Jesus Christ. Patsy Stambaugh Deskins wrote these words about heaven. "If you could see me now, you wouldn't shed a tear … I'm still very much alive, I've just been set free."
There is one way to heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). There is no sorrow in heaven, no tears, no crying. Make heaven your one big goal in life. It will take us all the rest of our life to get ready for heaven.

Orange and Southern meet in the area game of the year Friday, Nov. 8, the first meeting of the Big Eight 3-A Conference co-leaders as fellow 3-A members.
But while Friday's regular-season finale will decide the Big Eight title, it might not be the last time the two face off this season. Two of the top 3-A programs in the state, they could very well face each other again in the playoffs.
Both teams have already locked up playoff berths.
Orange (10-0, 6-0 Big Eight) will bring one of the stingiest defenses in the state to Southern at 7 Friday. The Panthers allow an average of 8.5 points per game, They've pitched four shutouts and allowed only seven points in three other games.
Oh, and the top 10 program — No. 7 in the Associated Press N.C. 3-A poll, No. 9 in the MaxPreps.com poll — also scores and scores big. Orange's offense, led by quarterback Garrett Cloer and slotback Patrick Pettiford is piling up 42.2 points a game.
Both attributes will be required tonight. Southern (8-2, 6-0 Big Eight) also knows how to pile up the points. Junior quarterback Kendall Hinton — who has held a scholarship offer from Duke coach David Cutcliffe since early in his sophomore season — leads a diverse attack that's averaging 50.2 points a game. But the key tonight could be the 24.8 points per game Southern's defense allows.
If the game comes down to a shootout, MaxPreps.com's No. 18-ranked Spartans could hold the trump card. They've been in just that situation already this season, having survived potent Northwood (8-2, 4-2 Big Eight) 56-54 last month.
The only really close game Orange has played was a 6-0 win against Chapel Hill in which the Panthers broke loose on a 55-yard scoring pass play as time expired. But that was a defensive struggle.
Hinton has a lot of weapons in future N.C. State wide receiver Maurice Trowell, running back/kick returner William Cameron and slotback Jordan Brown.
Hinton has completed 131 of 196 pass attempts for 2,526 yards, 24 touchdowns and only two interceptions, while carrying the ball 49 times for 689 yards — 14.06 yards per carry — and seven touchdowns.
He's the team's leading rusher, over backs Cameron and Brown.
Trowell has caught 49 of those passes, 12 for touchdowns, and has 1,006 receiving yards — 20.53 yards per grab. Brown averages 10.66 yards a carry and Cameron 11.05. Each has scored 10 times on the ground.
And kicks and punts don't get you out of trouble with Southern's offensive stars. Punt returner Trowell and kick returner Cameron are threats to go all the way every time they touch the ball.
Cameron holds a scholarship offer from West Virginia.
Here's a look at tonight's other featured games with playoff implications.
— Northwood (8-2, 4-2 Big Eight 3-A) at Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons (7-3, 4-2 Big Eight), 7 p.m. — Technically, this game will determine the third and final Big Eight automatic playoff berth. Realistically, the loser will make the playoffs as a wild card entry. Gibbons has an outstanding offense led by senior quarterback Shawn Stankavage. The Crusaders average 36.4 points a game but also allow 28.7. Northwood rides its offensive stars — quarterback Ti Pinnix, running backs Kadarus Rone and Montel Goods and wide reciever Jalen Smith — to 42.7 points a game while giving up 25.7. Look for a shootout in Raleigh.
— Northern (3-7, 3-1 PAC-6) at Riverside (7-3, 3-1 PAC-6 4-A), 7 p.m. — This one's all about bragging rights, since both teams — they're tied for second place in the PAC-6 — have already clinched playoff berths. Riverside brings the heavy lumber in 2,000-yard running back Joel Evans. Northern has a defense that's gotten progressively stingier after an 0-6 season start.
— Cedar Ridge (2-8, 2-4 Big Eight 3-A) at Chapel Hill (3-7, 2-4 Big Eight), 7 p.m. — As unlikely as it sounds, a win could give Chapel Hill the magic fourth win that if a lot of things break right elsewhere tonight could grab a playoff slot. Don't bank on it, but it's an outside possibility. The Tigers have actually had a pretty good year. Most of the losses have been down-to-the-wire games.
— Reidsville (8-2, 4-0 Mid-State 2-A) at Carrboro (4-6, 1-3 Mid-State), 7:30 p.m. — Without Trai Sharp and Marlin Johnson much of the season, last year's state 2-A runner-up has fallen on hard times after a 3-0 start. But Carrboro could sneak back into the playoff picture with a major upset over perennial state 2-A power Reidsville. Just don't bet on it.
— South Granville (8-2, 3-1 Northern Carolina 2-A) at Roanoke Rapids (2-8, 0-4 N.C. 2-A), 7:30 p.m. — This one's important because South Granville enters the night in a three-way tie for first place in the N.C. 2-A. Any seeding edge the Vikings can muster for the playoffs starts with disposing of this last-place opponent and doing it quickly.
Here's a look at playoff tuneup games with winning being nice, but player health and fine-tuning of problem areas being more important.
— Roxboro Person (3-7, 1-3 PAC-6 4-A) at Hillside (7-2, 4-0 PAC-6), 7 p.m. — Hillside's been waiting all season for quarterback Nas Forté-Ferguson to improve his passing accuracy and this is a perfect night to work on that. Star back Donte Thomas-Williams and standout receiver Trevion Thompson already are proven commodities for the PAC-6 champs.
— Granville Central (6-4, 3-1 Tar-Roanoke 1-A) at Northwest Halifax (1-9, 1-3 Tar-Roanoke), 7:30 p.m. — Granville Central looks to be solidly entrenched in second place in the Tar-Roanoke Conference but doesn't want to slip tonight in Littleton.
Here's a look at games involving teams that will hand in the helmets and pads and call it a season after tonight.
— East Chapel Hill (2-8, 1-3 PAC-6 4-A) at Jordan (1-9, 0-4 PAC-6), 7 p.m. — Disastrous seasons come to an end. Jordan hopes a win would salve the pain of a winless conference season.
— Oxford Webb (2-8, 0-6 Big Eight 3-A) at Northern Vance (0-6, 0-10 Big Eight), 7 p.m. —Northern Vance has lost 20 games in a row over two seasons. Webb can get out of the Big Eight cellar with a win.

The IRS tracks every taxpayer through a Social

own returns, this isn't a problem. If you drop
all your data off at your accountant's office,
make sure your Social Security number is in
there, as well as your spouse's if you file
you have any dependents -- children, parents -- that you'll be claiming? Then
you'll need those numbers, too. This includes everyone, even infants. If your

Q:Will the Sunny Side Bubble Bar lear my skin glittery? If not, which bubble bars or bath bombs would?Asked on 2/23/2015 by Bianca
2 answers
A:Sunny Side, as well as some of our other bath bombs, will make the bath water incredibly shimmery, but it won't transfer too much onto your skin. My best recommendations would be Shimmy Shimmy, a solid body tint that will add a beautiful shimmer to your skin, or Lustre, our jasmine-scented shimmering dusting powder!Answered on 2/27/2015 by Meg from LUSH Direct
A:The times I've used Sunny Side it's never left my skin glittery
(unfortunately because that would be epic) and I can't say I've used any
bath bomb or bubble bar that would. However, Lush has a body tint called
Shimmy Shimmy that will do the trick. You warm it up a bit in your hands
then apply to your skin. It makes you super sparkly.Answered on 2/25/2015 by Anonymous
Q:How many bars come in a package? Also how many bath bombs come in a pack?Asked on 11/8/2014 by Katie from South Carolina
1 answer
A:All bubble bars and bath bombs are sold separately. Only our wrapped gifts contain more than one product.Answered on 11/12/2014 by Jeanine from LUSH Direct

YouTube's player has a clever Easter egg: make sure the player has focus (try pausing and resuming the video), hold the left key for about 2 seconds and press the up key, while still holding the left key. You can now play Snake while watching the video.
This trick only works in YouTube's new player, which is only available for videos that don't include annotations or ads. It's limited to the videos played on YouTube's site and it doesn't work for embedded videos. Here's an example of video you can use to play Snake.

The pattern calls for 2 strands of Nordique held together throughout. You know how most times when you are holding two strands together at some point there is always tangling going on? Not with Nordique. This yarn unwinds beautifully. I wish I would have taken a picture and shown you. Because the balls were seriously beautiful when they unwound. I kept holding it up showing people.... look how pretty!
Pattern: Oona's Hoodie
I made the smallest size for Libby who is twelve and wears a size 12. This pattern is written for size up to a 56" chest circumference. So, not just for young girls. I love that.

We came home yesterday from a trip to California to find warm, sunny weather that smacks of Spring. The signs are everywhere: The buds are orangey-red on the Plain Trees outside my window. The neighbor's crocuses are crocusing. The parrots are crooning. And I ran into Stephen this morning, raking last year's dead vegetation out of his front flower beds.
Stephen is our apartment building's ad hoc gardener. He strides the concrete walkways, creating oases of bloom, lush harbors of purple and pink. He coaxes dog-pissed saplings back to life, and drapes the brick courtyard with exotic vines grown from straggles he clipped off the plants of unsuspecting neighbors.
He does all this because he loves it. God knows, he doesn't get paid. Unless you count the odd bill one or another of his fellow apartment dwellers might toss his way, an occurrence far more rare than it should be. When that does happen, Stephen buys yet another flat of plants, yet another baby tree, spending more of his own money in the process.
Last year, we bought him a new compost barrel, a replacement for one that was falling apart. This new one could be rotated manually. It takes effort, but it's an improvement over the old one, which required an auger to turn the compost. I gave him some of the worms I bought in Union Square last year (see my earlier post: http://peacecorpsworldwide.org/off-the-matrix/2010/09/18/the-worms-crawl-out/). Since I was operating a small compost of my own on our balcony, I didn't throw my food scraps into his until late fall, when mine was overflowing.
His barrel, it turns out, was also over-full. So in the cold heart of winter, I went back to pitching my potential compost out with the trash.
It was but a minor glitch in a winter full of craziness. There was Paul's slow convalescence from broken ribs, and his mother's two falls that took her out of her home for good–not unexpected, considering Ev is 93, but heartbreaking nonetheless. There was my mother, whose Alzheimers finally qualified her for Hospice. Two of our kids lost their healthcare insurance because it became too expensive for people working in the arts. Our older son's fiancee's father was hospitalized with cancer. And, of course, there was the weather–a potent brew of high winds, fallen trees, disrupted subways, cars mired in mountainous snowbanks, floods, even a nasty little tornado.
Stephen, too, was not inclined to sing this winter's praises. A few weeks ago, his father died suddenly, back in New England. His father was a proud man of advanced age who, although blind, insisted on living alone in his own house. Stephen reasons that, all things considered, it wasn't a bad way for him to go.
But this is reason. Grief is not reasonable.
Two days ago, Stephen cleaned his oven. He turned the gas off, he thought, and left the apartment. "I went back later because I needed sunglasses," he told me. The smell of gas permeated the entire floor. But his partner, who was in the apartment, hadn't noticed it.
"God," I said, "You could've killed Richard."
He nodded. "I know. Isn't it horrible? It's just…I've been doing such flaky things. Ever since my dad died, it's like I just–I'm there, and then I'm not."
I told him about my own father's death seven years ago. About flying to Indiana and helping Mom set things in order. About accepting that a quick, fatal stroke at 84 wasn't a bad thing. About how, a month later, I burst into tears for no apparent reason when I was walking through the scanner in an airport, bound for somewhere that wasn't the Midwest. About bumbling about, doing flaky things. "It felt like grief waited until I was looking the other way," I told him, "Then just smacked me upside the head. Whack. Again and again."
"I'm tired of it." His rake ripped dead stems from the bed's grubby scalp. "I figured I need my therapy here." Rip. Rip. "Or maybe I need a shrink to give me a pill. We'll see."
I asked him how his compost was doing.
He said there was still a warm core to it, even after the frigid weather. "And those worms? They're still alive."
"Really? All the Internet info says they have to be brought in for the winter."
He waved his hand. "They're in great shape, wiggling all over the place."
And so, this afternoon, I dug into my own neglected compost. The lid had blown off, and the contents were soggy and black. I turned the lumpy mess. And found a worm. Then another. And another. They were bloated, lethargic, but they squirmed away from my little shovel as I dug. I raked and turned, raked and turned the compost in its makeshift plastic vat. The water slowly seeped out through the holes I'd punched in its bottom and sides.
I found more worms. The compost smoothed, broke up, began to look like soil.
I lifted the vat out of the identical but non-perforated vat that it nested in, a rig I'd improvised so drainage from the compost had someplace to go. There was a shallow pool of brown water, full of good soil nutrients.
I stood, my vat of compost "tea" in hand, and looked over the wrack and ruin of my balcony: dead tomato branches, broken flower vines, piles of rotted brown leaves; a wind-flung plastic trellis, trailing filthy string; a burst plastic bag leaking crumbled brick and toxic mortal chips from last summer's pointing repairs. Torn, sagging coconut fiber plant holders. The broken pieces of the nozzle that had fallen off the water hose. The rusty remains of a watering can.
Yep, I thought. That's how it is.
In the middle of this mess, I noticed four stiff skeletons poking out of grubby brown pots. I carried my vat over for a closer look.
Last spring, I'd made a $10 contribution to the National Arbor Society. In return, they'd sent me ten "trees." They were little more than bad jokes: ten six-inch sticks with stunted roots hairs on one end.
By mid-summer, six had died.
But four had survived. Barely.
I was looking at them.
They were still sticks. But they were a little bit longer. And they had tiny branches. And on those branches: buds.
I carefully poured the nutrient liquid into each pot. There was a little left over. I squinted at a battered planter on the balcony wall. A chaos of twisted straw–and, in the middle, my lavender plant.
It had survived. Barely.
I poured the mucky dregs at its base.
Tomorrow, it will be cold. Again. There will be wind; there will be rain. Again.
There will be destruction and death and radiation and war–
But maybe, if I nurture these bud-rough sticks; if I feed the lavender; if I throw scraps and torn newspaper in the vat for those stalwart worms–maybe I will find some small therapy for the angst and loss.
We'll see.

For a long time I have been wondering about these horrible school shootings that are getting too common these days. They are all so similar: A wacko enters a school, starts shooting and, as soon as any resistance shows up-the police or somebody else with a weapon-the wacko kills himself. It seemed to me that somehow these fiends must have been programmed just like certain other things can be programmed. I didnt know for sure if it was possible or not. But, I have thought for years that somebody must be putting these killers up to their evil deeds. Then I happened to come across THIS:
The government encouraged the manufacture and importation of firearms for the criminals to use. This is intended to foster a feeling of insecurity, which would lead the American people to voluntarily disarm themselves by passing laws against firearms. Using drugs and hypnosis on mental patients in a process called Orion, the CIA inculcated the desire in these people to open fire on schoolyards and thus inflame the anti-gun lobby. This plan is well under way, and so far is working perfectly. The middle class is begging the government to do away with the 2nd Amendment.
This quote is from the book titled: Behold a Pale Horse. This book is subtitled: Exposing the New World Order." This book is available today. I have seen it on both Amazon and eBay. This book was written in 1991 (22 years ago) by William Cooper. The author, former U.S. Naval Intelligence Briefing Team Member, reveals information kept secret by our government since the 1940s, including UFOs, the J.F.K.. assassination, the Secret Government, the war on drugs and more. At one time, Cooper was considered to be one of the world's leading experts on UFOs.
This type of thing has happened before. On February 27, 1933, Adolph Hitler had some of his goons burn the Reichstag. Using that event, he blamed his political enemies and was able to suspend all law and make himself the supreme ruler of Germany. As the old saying goes: Theres nothing new under the sun.
This book could have been written Today! It foretells that the government may be involved in these school shootings in order to disarm the American people. The government later murdered Mr. Cooper. They probably felt like he knew too much. Dead men tell no tales.
Milton William Cooper (58) was shot and killed by deputies of the Apache County (Arizona) Sheriff's Office while they were attempting to serve an arrest warrant for aggravated assault and endangerment on Nov. 5, 2001. His death on "unrelated" charges is most interesting. Were those charges just a way to shut him up and discredit him at the same time? Did the sheriff's office go to his home that evening with the intent of getting their man dead and not alive? While there is no proof of this, it does make one wonder.
