White iPhone 4 showing off prototype iOS 4 fast app switching, folder UI?
Vietnamese site Tinhte might just have gotten their hands on an official white iPhone 4 from Apple... running a previously unseen version of iOS! While it could also just be a clever set of Jailbreak tweaks, the video shows a new version of the multitasking fast app switching that replaces the dock icons in iOS 4 with miniature tiles of the actual apps, sort of like Exposé for iPhone.
Whether this is something destined for an interim iOS 4.4, our first hint at iOS 5, or some Jailbreak wizardry only Apple knows for sure. But it is interesting that it shows up on the anniversary of the Gizmodo iPhone 4 leak, isn't it?
UPDATE: Per comments, yes there are some old icons but also some Apple internal test icons. Weird. Second video from the same source that shows off, among other things, 64GB, a new rendering for Folders, and Facebook built into settings.
UPDATE 2: This might just be a prototype iPhone 4 running an early test version of iOS 4 which included Folder and Fast App Switching UI Apple later decided against implementing (going with what we see now in the release version of iOS 4.)
Check out the video after the break and let us know, real, fake, or really fake? And if real, what do you think?

+1. Also, get rid of double tap. Button press-and-hold should either be icon grid or fast app switching. FAS looks like wp mango, webos, and qnx, but I like it. Do you get pages of cards when you have more than 9, or do you scroll down?
at BGR a guy said that's multiflow from cydia
yeah look awfully like multiflow or it is multiflow
There is another video from the same people on 9to5mac and the signal bars are pre-4.1 update. Take that as you will.
you've seen Beowulf before, haven't you? Thats how you fake a video :)
Gonna have to agree with the people that say it is multiflow. I tried this on both my iPad and iPhone 4 for a couple weeks, but honestly I reverted back to the original iOS system and have been happier since. It's harder to quickly sort though a bunch of screen grabs to pick what you want than a bunch of app icons that you instantly recognize. If it was 5.0 multitasking I would be hesitant to update.
Gonna have to agree with you. If this system were introduced over the iconic system they have now, I would probably have some second thought before updating the iP4. Productivity killer.
If this were real...it would debunk all of the increased screen size rumors. FAKE.
I like that faint spotlight bar at the top
Calculator and Voice Memos have the old icons. Also, if you watch the second video you see Facebook integration in settings.
Something to think about, that calculator icon was introduced in 3.0, then updated to the current one under 4.0. The iPhone 4 shipped with 4.0 minimum, so why's there an outdated icon there that shouldn't have ever existed on that phone, there?
could it actually rcealpe me having a laptop? Then the answer would be NO!!!!I pad is not the answer to a laptop a laptop is a laptop where you could anything that a computer is suppose to do. An Ipad is pretty cool but only if you like to watch movies, check your emails or share your photos etc.. while on the move or when in bed/sofa/balcony/train that sort of thing

as the Xoom decides when to quit an ppilacation; customization is possible but more difficult than the iPad2. In short, the Xoom user interface is a work in progress great potential but currently quite flawed. Operating System: The iPad2 uses Apple's IOS. It works, but it uses cooperative multitasking which (in theory) is less effective than the full multitasking on the Xoom which uses a version of Google's Android designed for tablets. In practice, they both work fine and I doubt anyone would notice the difference. Applications: iPad2 has 70,000 apps available from the Apple App store and it also runs the 300,000 apps available for the iPhone. Xoom currently has around 60 apps and it can run Android phone apps (but they are stretched in one direction which makes them look strange). Some of the iPad2 ppilacations are pretty impressive GarageBand for example. There are many games on the iPad2, and just a few games made for the Xoom. If this doesn't improve quickly, the Xoom is sunk. After all, ppilacations are generally the reason people buy these devices. Browsing: Because of the screen aspect ratio that I mentioned, I prefer browsing on the iPad2. The Xoom has Adobe Flash and the iPad2 doesn't, but so far I haven't come across a single instance where this has been an issue. I'm sure there are very many sites not compatible with iPad2, but I haven't browsed to one of them yet. Camera: I don't use the camera much, and I'm not really sure if either is better. In the family, the Xoom owner says the Xoom is better, the iPad2 owner says the iPad2. The Xoom has flash and iPad2 doesn't which is a win for Xoom, but the Xoom seems slower to take a picture. Speakers: The Xoom has two small speakers, iPad2 has one slightly larger speaker. The sound is somewhat better quality on the iPad2 and the Xoom cannot achieve the same volume as the iPad2. But they are both pretty poor use earphones or an external speaker if you want decent audio. Battery life: Difficult for me to give an exact comparison, but based on family usage it seems the iPad2 has the edge here, but not by much. Internal storage: The Xoom has 1GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash storage. The iPad2 has 512MB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of flash storage I bought the 64GB model. External storage: The Xoom has an external card slot that supports SD cards, but the software was not ready in time for the product release. The slot is inoperative until Motorola releases an operating system update. The iPad2 has no external storage support. User Experience: The iPad2 was up and running quite quickly. I connected the device to iTunes and it automatically updated to the latest version of the operating

This has got to be just a jailbroken iPhone. I think you guys are probably right that it's multiflow. Here are a few other things I noticed:
- The long press to enable closing apps is nowhere near long enough for what Apple would implement. The guy actually does it accidentally a couple times when his finger barely touches the icons.
- The icon for Voice Memos is the old red one from older versions of iOS, not newer.
- There's a "Link Keys" bluetooth app that he opens at one point that I think is probably a jailbreak app.
You'd think the guys at TiPb would be a little more astute than this. They should have posted this as a story about a fake video instead of a possible leaked version of official iOS. It makes me think they did it this way simply for link bait when they knew better all along.
Lest we forget that somehow a Vietnamese man somehow obtained an ultra-secret build of "iOS 5". I know Apple isn't the best with securing things (Hi Grey), but they certainly wouldn't let a software version walk out the door without first asset tracking each and every individual that accesses it.
I mean like, this is common sense 101.
I think that's just a jailbreak deal... That fast app switching looks slower than what I have now on my iPhone 4 that isn't jailbroken. But if it's real and that's what iOS 5 will be like then I'm okay with it. I really do hope that they release a 64GB version soon though... I'm running low on space ha ha.
I hope we seem more of a change in ios 5 then this. I mean, if they are only focusing on iOS instead ofhardware. I want to see a whole new experience. A jump that way like the jump fron Android 1.6 to 2.1 That change alone was why I bought a DROID. Now that I have an Iphone, I want that experience changing thrill again :D
FAKE!!! Notice how the guy in the first video doesn't even allow the apps to load up. Nothing is seen as really "working".
Why are people dissing TIPB ? they didn't make this video or claim it's legit and multiple websites (BGR,engandget,9to5mac) are running this story . If you don't beieleve the video is real than fine but no reason to trash Renee or TIPB
Ps this better not be the iPhone 5 because no 4" screen would mean I seriously have to consider and android device, was playing around with the MOTO Atrix and was REALLY impressed !
People, it doesn't have to be fake and it doesn't have to be iOS5. If it is real (not a jb device running a version of MultFl0w), then it seems like a prototype of iOS 4.x with additional features. Apple could have completed this version of the codebase and will port it over to the 5.0 version when it's ready. Many times, that's how large software projects are handled.
And btw, we all know that the JB community is one big beta area for Apple anyways (see cut/paste). :)
The only way to develop new features is to integrate them on a previous OS, and the polishing always comes last. that's why the version says 4.0 in settings
Another reason why ios4.0 could have been used was used because the pulled features were still present in that beta version, they would be able to reconsider pushing these features into ios5 by improving them
I see some old things , something's that look like it came from jailbreak like the bluebare over the app store nut there is also some different desine elements and some new features, this wary well could be proto type soafware that never got released or maybe things that we will see in the next iOS like internal Facebook and new multitasking view.
Maybe is this weren't jailbroken, then this was one of te many implementations of multitasking that Apple was playing around with during testing (therefore unreleased 4.0 beta) and decided to go with the cutter icon system.
Or it's jailbroken. Either way.
Sorry for the typos. Still hard to type on the iPhone sometimes.
I hope it's real but the old icons leave me leary.
I'm glad somebody finally mentioned the old calculator and voice memo icons!
This is a lot more recent than people think. Look at the movies in his iPod library, its got Tron Legacy and Tangled in it. Both are fairly recent movies. This is probably just an early build of iOS 5 for internal use only, some how this leaked out.
Definitely real. I'm not sure if anybody noticed, but did you see the icons? In iOS 5, Apple is bringing back the old Calculator and Voice Memo icons. Forget notifications, Apple knows the old icons are the feature we've all been waiting for.
My theory is that: The new features were built over iOS4 beta, because the pulled features were still present in that version, so they would be able to improve those pulled features and reconsider pushing them into the next version of iOS. The polishing process or the process of bringing the features over to the newer version will always come last, WHICH WOULD explains why you see the old Calc and Voice memo icons. ;)
Look at the volume buttons, this guy has an old prototype.
how did you get a 64gb phone

Europe getting a Lightning-to-Micro USB adapter
If you've been watching the European Union at all over the past two years or so, you may have noticed way back in December 2010 when CENELEC (the European Committee for Elecrotechnical Standardization) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) both declared their intentions for Micro USB to be standardized charging connector for mobile devices sold in the bounds of the EU. By and large most manufacturers have abided by that, though they've more gone for Micro USB out of convenience's sake. Save on consistent and obvious hold-out: Apple and their 30-pin connector.
Now that the 30-pin connector has gone the way of the dodo, the new 8-pin Lightning connector is going to be the standard for Apple mobile devices for several years. For reference's sake, the 30-pin connector had a long life of nine years.
But what of CENELEC, ETSI, and other acronyms? Apple in Europe has a typically Apple-for-Europe solution: a Lightning-to-Micro USB adapter. It's certainly the smaller of the Lightning adapters made available, and it merely has the male end of the Lightning connector on one end, ready to plug into your iPhone 5, new iPod Touch, or new iPod Nano, and a female Micro USB port on the other, ready to accept your Micro USB cable for your charging and syncing needs.
As the owner of multiple devices, it's the kind of thing I wish Apple would sell world-wide. Practically everything else I own charges off of Micro USB, and the drawers of my house are littered with compatible cables and chargers. The little £15.00 adapter might be a tad on the expensive side, but I'd rather throw that in my go bag over yet another cable. Alas, the Micro USB adapter appears to be a Europe-only offering, there exclusively to satisfy the "must have a Micro USB port or an available adapter" demands of Europe's standards agencies.

Europe getting a Lightning-to-Micro USB adapter
They will eventually. I have a couple of the current 30pin-to-microUSB adapters that work great. I can't swear they're made by Apple, but they sure look like it, and the little poly ziplock bag they came in had a part number that looks like it was conjured up by Apple. The only unfortunate part is that the adapters cost more than a new (3rd-party) 30pin cable.
These leads will NOT be able to be shipped to the states, as you have to have a credit/debit card registered in the country you're buying from, and you have to be resident in that country.
You also have to have an Apple ID in the county you're purchasing from too.
I know this because I tried to purchase a music album off iTunes and it was from another county, and I was not able to place my order.
Hi all, I bulk bought some here in the UK for friends in the US/Canada and have extras to sell so I've set up a little site. The Apple adapter is tiny and lightweight and is going to be so handy as I already carry a micro-USB cable to charge my bluetooth headset and other electronic bits. It really is a very small little adapter and it sits on top and means I can charge my phone too.
Can't wait to plug my new iPhone 5 into a Samsung/Blackberry charger.
See www.chargethe5.com if you'd like to order one. I'm sending to the US/Canada daily.
NOTE to latecomers to this thread: I checked eBay and it's swarming with these adapters -- choice of black or white, cable or dongle, all for under $15 incl. shipping. Bless the free market.

Foxconn says the iPhone 5 is the most difficult device they've ever assembled, hopes practice will make perfect
iPhone supply shortages happen almost every year, but with the iPhone 5 they've been compounded by quality assurance concerns -- namely chips and scratches occurring at the factory before the devices are as much as opened by customers. A Foxconn/Hon Hai official, who declined to be named, told Lorraine Luk of the Wall Street Journal that it's hard to satisfy both aesthetic and practical needs:
The iPhone 5 is the most difficult device that Foxconn has ever assembled. To make it light and thin, the design is very complicated. It takes time to learn how to make this new device. Practice makes perfect. Our productivity has been improving day by day.
This is nothing that anyone looking at working conditions in China and the complexity of the new iPhone assembly and finishing process couldn't reasonably deduce all on their lonesome (add your own cliche about good, fast, and cheap here).
As to rumors of a labour dispute compounded by the iPhone 5 production difficulties, the same executive waved the "stay clam, carry on" banner.
The Zhengzhou site, which was set up in 2011, is still pretty new to us. We are still learning how to manage the work force there.
Apple pushes the bleeding edge when it comes to manufacturing, inventing a lot of their own processes along the way. Quality will no doubt improve over time, whether or not it eases worker strife.

Wow! Thanks for catching that. My world was turned upside until your corrected it. again, thanks!
It's very sad that most of us who have purchased the phone and thinking that it's made as good as it can be...probably not. Like everything else in life you have to practice to achieve greatness in something. I understand that they are getting better at making the phone, but shouldn't it have happened already!? If you think your product is not as good as it should be, don't put it out there. However, I still do like the iPhone 5 very much!
@Dumbinho, it doesn't matter if "Apple is not the only company that manufactures in China", that doesn't make it right.
Like saying "but officer all the other drivers ran the red light or are driving 15 mph faster than the posted speed limit" Regardless of others you and others (companies included) are responsible for their own actions and can't just point the finger at others to justify their actions.
Stepping down from my soapbox now.
*Don't get me wrong I own Apple products, but I understand what really goes into the device that is in my hand.
You could always not buy Apple products if you feel this strongly and are willing to judge a company? Just some random post here on "your soapbox" won't change anything. Put your money where your mouth is. Throw away your Apple stuff and buy some stuff not made in China. Good luck with that! LOL
What I was trying to say is that everyone complains about apple. Is all over the news. Well. Apple is not the only company that makes stuff there. Everyone does. That includes Samsung. And every electronics company. If they don't like it. Don't buy it. Stop complaining. Especially people in America. They complain about it. But if you ask them to manufacture the iPhones here. They won't. Even if you pay them the legal minimum wage here in the US. (Which is a lot more then their wage in china) is not about cheap labor. Americans just don't wanna do those labors even if they are paid well.
So you're saying you will build thousands of iPhones parts everyday for 10+ hours for less than $7??? So let's say if you work on the line that puts the home button in. And that is all you do for 10+ hours 7 days a week for less than $7. Easier said than done my friend. Their OVERTIME rate is less than $3....
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure they said a similar thing back when the iPhone 4 was first released. For me this comes as no surprise.
Perhaps its the hardiest because the slave labor is finally getting to the workers. I mean, I know the suicide nets, the psychologists, and the forced abortion hasn't pushed the workers out of Foxconn yet, but maybe the accumulation of oppression is finally affecting their assembly skills.

There's an old saying that says if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This saying definitely holds true in the case of Squier. Acquired by Fender in 1965, the Squier name was put to use in 1982 as a way to allow people to own a genuine Fender at a cost-conscious price, instead of a cheap (in more ways than one) knock off. Squier gives people the opportunity to stop dreaming and start playing, and because of this it has become one of the most respected names in the guitar world.
If you're looking to join the Squier family, you'll be happy to know that there are plenty of options to choose from, so you'll definitely find the right instrument for you. To make the process even easier, you may want to think about the style of instrument you want, as well as the features that are important to you. Doing this can definitely go a long way in streamlining your selection process. If you're just looking for a simple, entry level guitar, you'll definitely love the best-selling Bullet Strat with Tremolo. This guitar gives you the opportunity to play a true legend at a fraction of the cost. With 3 single-coil pickups for that iconic Strat tone, as well as a tremolo bar for serious note bending, this is everything a budding musician could want in a starter guitar.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Online Behavioral Tracking
Today's New York Times includes their editorial board's take on revising government web tracking policy. Their recommendations align closely with those we made in coordination with The Center for Democracy and Technology earlier this month:
Officials say they recognize that people must be told that their use of Web sites is being tracked — and be given a chance to opt out. More is needed. The government should commit to displaying such notices prominently on all Web pages — and to making it easy for users to choose not to be tracked.
Today, EFF and the Center for Democracy and Technology submitted comments to the Office of Management and Budget in response to the agency's review of the policies governing the federal government's use of cookies and other web technologies.
After discussions with EFF, YouTube has implemented additional privacy protections for visitors to Whitehouse.gov viewing embedded videos hosted by YouTube.
When the Whitehouse.gov website launched in January, including embedded videos from YouTube, privacy advocates raised concerns that without extra privacy measures, YouTube would be improperly tracking visitors to the government website, including recording which videos were watched and combining that information with the ever-growing amount of information that Google and YouTube have about internet users, through YouTube's use of cookies.
In response, The White House first made sure that YouTube's cookies were not served merely upon visiting the website, much like EFF does with MyTube. That was a good step.
Today, The Center for Democracy and Technology and EFF are releasing "Open Recommendations for the Use of Web Measurement Tools on Federal Government Web Sites." (Press Release. PDF.) The document recommends repairs to the federal guidelines that regulate the use of cookies and other "persistent tracking technologies" on government websites.
Former CNET blogger Chris Soghoian has produced some of the best coverage on the issue of privacy for users of government websites. His http://news.cnet.com/8300-13739_3-46-1.html?tag=mncol">work on the use of YouTube cookies and other tracking technologies on whitehouse.gov brought public attention to the issue, and inspired EFF to get involved.
Beyond informing the public, Soghoian's work in this area has arguably had positive effects on policy. The Obama team has made several commendable adjustments to their privacy and video hosting policies including adding a prominent link to their privacy policy and using YouTube's new "delayed cookies" functionality-- results that seem related, at least in time, to Soghoian's sustained coverage of the issue.

Good afternoon...I am 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant with our fifth child. I experienced pre-eclampsia with my 2nd child and after weeks of bed rest she was delivered via emergency c-section at 39 weeks. None of my other pregnancies caused any BP trouble. However, this week I have experienced 3 episodes of blurred vision and headaches but I have only shown trace or 1+ protein in my urine. My BP does not alarm most caregivers because by normal standards it is not that high. The problem is that my normal BP is 90/60 to 100/70. My current BP (on hospital bed rest) has been between about 123-144/70-92 with one reading of 154/82. I am currently in the hospital completing a 24 hour urine collection but I will most likely be sent home when it is complete. I've asked for my Dr to go ahead with delivery but he refuses because of hospital regulation forbidding delivery before 39 weeks without more serious risk.
I am very worried and feel that the risk is already great enough but I am no expert...so I am wondering at what point should I worry and when should I push for delivery to ensure the safety of my daughter and myself? What result from the 24 hour collection should raise concern?

Our work during the summer focuses on taking care of our summer guests and the maintenance of the monastery. There are several work crews, including the kitchen, dining room, cabin crew, shop, office, garden, and bathhouse. Please let us know of any relevant work skills and any physical restrictions that might limit your ability to work. We are happy to hear your preferences but ask that you be flexible in adapting to the community's needs. Although Tassajara is open to the public during the summer, it is fundamentally a monastic community. We ask that all participants in the summer work-practice program commit to following our Guidelines for Summer Practice in order to support our training and practice. Students are not permitted to use drugs or alcohol, nor to begin sexual relationships while at Tassajara. Clothing should be modest—e. g. , no short shorts, exposed midriffs or thin-strapped tank tops, and no tight-fitting or otherwise revealing clothes. The use of tobacco at Tassajara is strongly discouraged. The book Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi gives a strong sense of the basis of our practice here. If you haven't already read it, we recommend that you do so before coming. Other books on Zen practice that you might find of interest can be found on our Introduction to Zen Reading List. Please also refer to the following documents if you are considering residential practice:
Application Process The dates for the upcoming summer session are April 6 through September 13, although apprentices are welcome to stay as late as September 26. Application Timeline and Important Dates Applications process opens: January 1, 2015 First available date to arrive: April 6, 2015 Last available date to depart: September 26, 2015Full details on the application process are available here:
The setting at Tassajara is remote and Work Practice Apprenticeships offer no opportunity to travel except during vacations. Community living at Tassajara is an intense experience. Apprentices live in shared rooms, share meals together, work together, and often spend free time together. Being a part of our community requires tolerance, patience, respect, and openness to new ideas and perspectives. Acceptance to this program entails a commitment to collective responsibility—going the extra mile to get things done.
The daily schedule for all work-practice students at Tassajara is structured to allow regular participation in twice-daily meditation periods and chanting services, as well as a brief community-wide morning work period or "soji". In addition, students are trained for and scheduled to participate in such zendo jobs as ringing the wake-up bell, lantern-lighting, and firewatch. All students attend weekly Dharma talks and lectures, and may attend classes given by visiting and residential teachers on a broad range of subjects throughout the summer. Optional half-day sittings are scheduled monthly and are open to students on their days off.
Morning 5:00 Informal Zazen 5:20 Wake-up Bell 5:50 Zazen 6:50 Service 7:15 Soji (Temple Cleaning) 7:30 Breakfast 8:30 Work Meeting 11:50 Noon Service – optional 11:55 End work Afternoon 12:00 Lunch 1:00 Work Meeting 4:30 End work 4:30-5:45 Silent Bath Time 5:00 Informal Zazen Evening 5:50 Service 6:00 Dinner 7:45 Informal Zazen 8:40 Zazen 9:20 Three Refuges 10:30 Firewatch Following the schedule is not easy. You will need to be honest with yourself and with us about your ability, motivation, and desire to work very hard and your interest in learning new skills through your experience and engagement with Zen practice.
There is a one-time application fee of $75 for all new Summer Work Practice Students. There is an additional $25 application fee for the Tassajara Zen Kitchen Apprenticeship. All meals and housing are provided. Aside from the necessary costs such as travel to/from Tassajara, expenses are minimal.
Tassajara is nestled deep in the rugged Santa Lucia Mountain Range. During days off (every fourth or fifth day) and breaks, students are welcome to enjoy the spring-fed swimming pool, the Japanese-style hot springs at the bath house, Tassajara Creek, and the many hiking trails. Work Practice Apprentices may also participate in guest retreat workshops that have been opened to students. This might include workshops on yoga, Tai Chi, brushpainting, writing, and other subjects. Tassajara is located at the end of a narrow 14-mile dirt road. Personal transportation (preferably four-wheel drive) is allowed at Tassajara, but most guests and students park their vehicles in Jamesburg (at the beginning of the dirt road) and carpool in with another student or guest, or with the daily stage or the regularly scheduled town trips.
Tassajara serves all-vegetarian meals. There is no kitchen access available for personal use. While special diet meals are not available, there is substantial variety in what is served. If you have special dietary needs please be forthright in your application about what your body can or cannot tolerate. Since much of the temple work may involve a moderate to high amount of lifting, carrying, and bending, you need to be aware of the physical limits of your body and know to stop working before an injury occurs. Your safety is a priority for us. As part of the application process, accepted applicants must fill out a medical information form and sign a waiver of general liability.
We encourage all applicants to visit one of our other centers before applying: City Center in San Francisco and Green Gulch Farm in Marin County. We would like all applicants to have a good understanding of Zen Center before they come to Tassajara, and we encourage applicants to be a guest student first, volunteer, or take a class at these centers. It's a great way to get a taste of what life at Zen Center is like, and also helps us get to know you.

U.S. iPhone adoption growth remains strong, Android slowing down
ComScore has published their research of the U.S. smartphone market for April 2012, and found that Samsung is still the top U.S. mobile manufacturer, while Apple is trailing in third place. Still, Apple is moving in on LG's second place; U.S. mobile market share (that includes smartphones and dumbphones) for the iPhone has grown 1.6 points to 14.4%, while LG has shrunk half a point to 19.2%.
The research also indicates that among smartphone platforms, Android experienced its lowest adoptions rates in Q1 2012 since 2009. That's good news for iOS, which is still enjoying steady growth, but has resulted in plateauing smartphone adoption overall. Apparently there were 300,000 new smartphone users every week in April, compared to 1.5 million every week in November. That is, indeed, a sharp dive. At this rate, iOS is growing nearly as fast as Android; during the same three-month period, iOS grew 1.9 points, while Android climbed 2.2. Of course, the installed base of Android users in the U.S. is still significantly higher than iPhone, thanks in no small part to the army of manufacturers churning out new devices every day. As you might expect, the BlackBerry OS market share is down yet again, currently commanding 11.6%, down 3.6 points since January.
I still find it hugely impressive that Apple is competing so strongly in the overall mobile market in the U.S. Samsung and LG are churning out tons of very affordable phones, both simple feature handsets as well as smartphones, while a very small selection of iPhones can still give them a run for their money. As for Android growth petering out, I wouldn't count on it being permanent just yet, since U.S. smartphone penetration is set to cross the 50% line this summer, meaning there is still a healthy number of dumbphone users that need to upgrade.
How many of your friends don't own a smartphone? Do you figure Android has any particular appeal to them, or does Apple have a big head start when it comes to being noob-friendly?

U.S. iPhone adoption growth remains strong, Android slowing down
And you're the one deciding factor, are you?
Well, if you say so it must be true.......
Dude, it's called research!
Not a lot of news here. This seems to say that 1 stat counter says that in 1 3-month period Android - with a higher install base - is "only" growing at 2.2% (from 48.6 to 50.8 % of the total smartphone market), and iOS went up 1.9%(from 29.5 to 31.4%).
The title seems to skew the overall facts here. iOS is growing, Android is growing faster than iOS still, just slightly LESS more than earlier period :-) with a way bigger install base. Picking nits a bit to me ..
While I'd love to agree with the "Samsung and LG churning out tons of very affordable smart and dumb phones" the fact is, I think Verizon is down to one dumb phone by each. We are on Verizon, and my wife is still on a Samsung dumb phone. She, and I think many others, are awaiting shared data. Being as it is already June, she will be waiting until the new iPhone comes out, when I will upgrade my 4 to the new iPhone, and she will likely, (depending on the changes to the new iPhone), get the (assumed) $99 iPhone 4S. I think if saturation hits 50% this next quarter, 80% isn't too much of a stretch after two years of Verizon and AT&T offering shared data.

What do you think of iOS 6 Maps? [Poll]
So iOS 6 has been out for over a week now, and that means everyone has had a chance to test out the new iOS 6 Maps apps for over a week. So what do you think of it? Is it the best Maps app ever? Is it okay with a few rough edges? Is it bad but you hope it gets better? Or is it a totally mapping disaster?
Back before Apple even announced the new Maps app at WWDC 2012, Rene wrote a post on what to expect in terms of both potential features and problems. And I dare say it's turned out to be pretty accurate. Do you think people were expecting too much? Or do you think Apple failed to deliver too much? Should Apple have done a better job warning users that there might be growing pains?
Apple can make beautiful map tiles and fancy flyover views all they want, but if the core map data isn't accurate, it's a big problem. If it's accurate in some places and terrible in others, that's still a big problem. Especially since Google doesn't seem likely to have a Google Maps app ready for the App Store any time soon, and the Google Maps mobile website is a stop-gap at best.
I know you've got an opinion on this one, so vote up top and tell me how you really feel in the comments!

What do you think of iOS 6 Maps? [Poll]
The layout is very nice. Going to be the best as soon as its perfected with data. Looks so Apple and so iPhone, upscale you know. Good job, just work around clock to make the data better than that terrible ass google maps we had!
As of now it's good. It can only get better. Just like anything else new, it takes time to perfect, especially if user input is being used to better the experience and correct any problems.
I drive every day to multiple meetings. I love the turn by turn, and so far, it has been flawless.
For navigation, I find that the new Apple app is beautiful and works very well. I also love to read maps, and for that I find Google far superior. However, for reading maps, I also don't mind using the web app, so for me, iOS6 is a better solution than iOS5 was.
For me the best part is that Apple is starting a "map war", and competition should result in better maps for everyone involved. Soon there will be a Google maps app for iOS, and Google will need to keep it competitive with Apple or no one will use it.
People, this is NOT about the Maps app!
Well, the Maps app is sort of OK, yes. But the real problem, and I'm wondering why nobody's talking about that, is the Maps API that virtually is unusable right now!
So, everything bad about the Maps app, you will get in every app that uses Apple's Maps API, like many of those GPS app, for example.
I don't know how it works for you, but here the resolution of the satellite images changed from "I can tell if my neighbor is bald or not" to "I can hardly tell if there is a neighboring town". Resolution seems to get as low as 30m per pixel or even worse, sometimes with big clouds rather than clear view of the ground.
So, well, the Maps app itself may be nice, but the API became more or less unusable. I don't get how Apple could launch something like that. Mobile me all over again?!
I've seen first hand the comedic errors Maps/Siri can make but also experienced the brilliant elegance and simplicity that the pairing was designed to accomplish. I'm really happy with the app on the whole and see the errors in accuracy as something that can and likely WILL be corrected in an appropriate amount of time...
I like that I can zoom out while remaining in location-tracking mode (whatever you call it when the map scrolls automatically as you drive). And I think it's easier to see the names of upcoming roads. BUT, I can't believe the indicator for this is a light purple. It's almost indistinguishable form the inactive gray arrow in sunlight.
I think there are 2 reasons for that:
1) The maps seem to work better in some areas than others, so where they are good people are satisfied
2) The whole issue is blown way out of proportion. IMO Google maps also got significantly worse when Google started using their own map data (instead of NAVTEQ for example). So for me Apple's bad maps versus Google's bad maps isn't that big of a difference.
I actually prefer the new maps to the old. As I use an excellent transit app, I don't miss that feature. Flyover is not quite as great as street view, but it has it's own advantages. I very much like the turn by turn which was a big fail in the old maps. One complaint (presumed lack of businesses on the map) appears to be a choice of what to display rather than missing data. Neither Google maps nor Apple's show all businesses when generally browsing and clearly they have different criteria. What is obvious is that it's not the old Google maps that many are intimately familiar with, ergo it's an automatic fail for many.
Contrast is not high enough, everything is pale excep the highways, parks and water. You basically MUST use turn by turn to be able to see the street names. People keep forgeting that Google maps were used more for the content than for the routing. Now I can't find what is close to me, like a restaurant or a school. For driving around I think that the free WAZE is much better, infast I still use Waze. The new maps are only cool to show to other non i-savy people to show off the 3D ... but that's about it. And you are right map app is simple, way too simple. Would it hurt Apple to put an advanced option in the app ?
The maps really do work great for me in Seattle. I think unfortunately the database is lacking in many other areas (I've heard it is particularly bad in London).
It's passable for US people, but in dozens of countries it's almost unusable where google maps was really good.
Some fanboys think we whine too much but the truth is that in many markets this new maps app is simply unacceptable. Huge step back for iphone users that have invested a lot into iOS.
The good: navigation is great (although I don't see myself using it much, since my truck has built-in nav)...
The bad: lots of incorrect locations. When looking for a store or business, the pin seems to fall "close" to the actual location, but not on the actual spot. A few times, it has placed the pin as far as a couple of blocks away.
I guess they are a work in progress, to say the least. Much like Siri was at first launch, promising, but not quite cooked to perfection just yet.
I only used Maps for Traffic and Street View. After reading Maps as a hobby when I was a kid and taking public transit everyday, I pretty much zero dependent on maps. When I do drive, I just use maps to get a traffic view and I'm set.
While flyover is nice, I really do miss street view though, it was a nice feature I enjoyed playing with to get a better of cities I haven't been too.
The only place I've noticed the Maps API failing horribly is in Maps+, which was basically a "better" Google maps app. Except now it doesn't have Google, so it is essentially useless. I haven't tried too many others yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if some of them were useless now too.
Turn by turn worked perfectly driving to SF and back. And it was a slightly tricky place to get to: Fort Point, under the Golden Gate Bridge. Driving off the suggested route caused no problems. It automatically and instantly compensated.
The vector-based drawing is smooth and awesome. No need for ultra-detailed satellite views when you're actually going somewhere. The satellite views are great, but they're more like a "virtual tour" of interesting sights (and they do take longer to load.)
Navigation: not great, angle is too high in the air, doesn't detect addresses that it has in the yelp database even though siri is referring to yelp pages, layout is needlessly confusing with buttons nonexistent or hidden, short of features other nav programs have. my cell service is spotty so i'm not that keen on not having maps on board. the maps suck at zooming in and twisting and turning. There's always a giant green sign in the middle of the screen obscuring the map. I've gone back to Waz a way way way better nav program and my primary standalone 5 year old Garmin as it's rock solid. Apple's directions are usually ok but usability sucks and waz and Garmin do both perfectly fine.
Maps: i honestly don't care about maps. i don't use them much. I don't care about transit directions. That said google simply is way way way better. But again i don't care and don't use that. Navigation i'd use. I really hope Google releases their navigation program.
Do we know HOW the maps will be updated as people start using them- does it use crowd sourcing (comparing roads that people travel down against the map, say, or altering a business location position or address if enough people submit the same information?) or does some poor sap have to verify everything that people submit?

No public transportation or walking directions??? Epic fail. The new maps is great for drivers but for those who live in cities and depend on public transpo and even walking directions this app leaves you out in the cold :(
Oh, I think I finally get it!
Ive used the new maps several time and they were actually to go places that were off the beaten path so to speak and have not been disappointed yet. Thats not to say that that has been everyones experience but since I used to own a Droid, I feel that this is definitely a step in the right direction with the potential to be a great navigation app. My opinion of course.
I'm happy with maps, google maps and earth isn't perfect either. Maps is more upto date when looking at house with 2D satellite view compare to google. That's way out of date.
I wouldn't be surprised if maps is like Siri and improve either by subtle amounts or by an update.
I have yet to see a perfect digital map.
I drive 100 miles a day and must say that Waze is the best hands down. It may not have all the features of ios6 maps but for driving and avoiding traffic hazards and speed traps its a clear winner. I encourage everyone I know who drives a lot to try waze. I just wish it wasnt on my iphone it sucks the battery dry in no time. Would be nice if someone would make a gps unit that tethers to the phone that has waze on it.
I use the TomTom app for nav, so I am going to be a little slow to adopt anything else. I think I tried to use the old Google Maps for driving directions once or twice right after I got my 4s and wrote it off.
The advantage the built-in maps has is in the API integration. Context based launching (from an address on a webpage, email, contact, etc.) is what makes it so important.
The app is nice and I like how I can play music while having siri direct me but many times I have had the app freeze when getting directions. Also today I was testing it for alternative route home to avoid traffic, I asked siri how to get home ( I live 3 miles away from where I was) siri gave me directions that was 8.9 miles total. So yea it needs work.

Four More Booms In Wisconsin City Troubled By Mysterious Sounds
Originally published on Thu March 22, 2012 12:06 pm
Things were not quiet again in Clintonville, Wis., early today.
As we reported Wednesday, folks there have been hearing booms and feeling vibrations this week and no one has yet been able to explain what's causing them. One of the latest theories is that unusually warm temperatures are causing underground ice to crack. A few homeowners think they've suffered some damages (cracked floors, for example).
Today, according to Milwaukee's WTMJ News Radio, "authorities tell us of four [more] reports coming in since 4:00 a.m."
Meanwhile, the Green Bay Press Gazette says that city officials in Clintonville announced Wednesday night that they plan to spend $7,000 to have an engineering firm "place four seismometers around the city to try to locate the epicenter of the strange sounds."

NEW YORK — CNN's new morning show will be called "New Day" and it will start on June 10.
The network had previously announced that Chris Cuomo and Kate Balduan would be CNN's new morning hosts.
On Tuesday, the network gave their show a name and a start date.
Jim Murphy, who ran "Good Morning America" at ABC, is the senior executive producer who will run "New Day."
The morning show is an early attempt by new CNN boss Jeff Zucker to put his stamp on the network.
Before moving up the corporate ladder at NBC, Zucker was executive producer of the "Today" show.

Things discussed in this podcast include:
- Parveen Babi's shiny, shiny hair guaranteed to leave the rest of us unfortunates green with envy
- Shashi Kapoor's general awesomeness, especially when tackling men roughly double his size
- Amrita's love of the Amitabh-Rakhee pairing and Beth's love of Shatrughan Sinha
- Charles Bronson, coal miner extraordinaire
- the (possible) significance of water (maybe?)
- and just what the hell was Amitabh's problem? We're all at sea!

Work on the U.S. Highway 17 median project is expected to begin in October and be completed by Nov. 30, 2015, according to the S.C. Department of Transportation.
The project to fill in most of the median begins at Baskervill Drive and ends at the North Causeway.
Leah Quattlebaum, SCDOT program engineer, said all the construction bids were due earlier this month, and it will take a month for SCDOT to choose the contractor. The contractor will then have a month to come up with a construction schedule.
The contractor determines where hes going to start, Quattlebaum said.
She also said it is up to the contractor as to the order in which the work is done.
As part of the project, Hotel Drive, between the Fresh Market shopping center and the hotel at Parkersville Road, will be expanded to three lanes.
Drivers coming from Library Lane onto Hotel Drive to access Highway 17 will have left- and right-hand turn lanes. A traffic signal will also be installed.
SCDOT recently bought 4,675 square feet of land at the corner from Fresh Market for $84,900.
Boyd Johnson, the countys planning director, said the purchase was to ensure drivers can have clear sight lines when turning at the intersection.
Hotel Drive is currently a private road, but the county is negotiating with its three owners Dr. Jed Tiller, the Fresh Market and the owner of the hotel to take possession of the road.
Were asking that it be donated, Johnson said.
The county is also asking the owners to donate some cash to make minor repairs to the road.
Everybody has verbally so far, nodded their head yes, Johnson said.

River Phoenix Gossip
River Phoenix gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
What's your Halloween association? For The Social recently we were asked to share our Halloween memories, like favourite costumes etc. I can't remember any of my old costumes. I don't have any photos of them either. When I think of Halloween, I don't actually think of dressing up. It's River Phoenix who comes to mind.
Last night I read an article in USA Today that touched on how it would be different if River had lived in the time of the internet. It was a such a shock what happened, partly because it happened – his lifestyle – without the public knowing about it. Without even many of his close friends and family knowing about it. River's image at the time was totally wholesome. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
I checked the Vanity Fair website first thing this morning to prep for an upcoming Gwyneth Paltrow post (coming later) but look what I found instead:
20 years after his passing, it's a new book that examines his final days and River's career in the context of the Hollywood of his time, including interviews with those who knew and worked with him. River and Hollywood in the 90s. Please. I've already pre-ordered it. Why did I never know that River's name is anagram for "Viper Heroin X"? For those of you who don't believe in superstition and the supernatural, science can't explain that. Read Full Intro
Why you should buy PEOPLE this week with Hot Harry on the cover
For Hot Harry maybe getting married? NO. Look in the corner. In the corner is all that matters. Here. Look in the corner: RIVER PHOENIX It's been 20 years. Full Story
Franco + River at TIFF
James Franco, the artist, has always said one of his favourite films, maybe even his favourite film, is Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho. Now the artist has collaborated on an art presentation about My Own Private Idaho with Gus Van Sant to be featured at the Toronto International Film Festival next month. Full Story
It's the automatic association
And this isn't meant as any disrespect to Martha Plimpton who is doing good work and has a new Fox TV show with Cloris Leachman premiering after Glee in September called Raising Hope and has been nominated for 3 Tony Awards and deserves to be recognised in her own right for her accomplishments but it's just that, well, if you loved River Phoenix, you can't help but think of him when you see her.

iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S vs. iPhone 3GS vs. iPhone design evolution gallery
The iPhone 5 Apple's 6th version, and 4th major design revision, of the iPhone. It might well have been inevitable, and still be working its way towards Jonathan Ive's Platonic ideal, but it's also a fascinating visual evolution of case shrinking, screen lengthening, and materials improving over generations.
We've done the iPhone 5 in both stunning portrait, and in intimate macro. Here's the Darwinian march of iPhone designs through the years, from the original 2007 iPhone to the 2009 iPhone 3GS to the 2011 iPhone 4S to the brand new 2012 iPhone 5.
Here are the backs, from aluminum to plastic to glass and back to aluminum.
And the dock connector, from 30-pin to Lightning, as well as the speaker and mic grills, and the movement of the 3.5mm headset jack. (Side by side and stacked.)
The controls on the side, stacked, from rockers to buttons.
The SIM cards both in trays and naked, from mini- to micro- to nano-SIM.
And the connector, from the new Lightning to the old 30-pin Dock.
All shots taken with a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM and an EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro lens, embedded at HiDPI for iPhones, iPad 3, and Retina MacBook Pro.

iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S vs. iPhone 3GS vs. iPhone design evolution gallery
I still love the aluminum back on the first gen iPhone.
crazy how much has changed ! and to see what hasn't
Great post on the differences of iPhones from 3GS, 4S to the new 5.
I was comparing the loading speeds of various apps, the twitter app launch speed is amazing, compared to the iphone 4 (Black) is only a short clip, but I think illustrates how far the iPhone has come.

It was crowded, it was crazy, it was chaotic ... and we wouldn't want it any other way. That pretty much sums up Comic-Con International 2001 for the spawn.com gang.
The fun started early Wednesday morning as Al "Spawn" Simmons and the rest of the crew showed up at the Convention Center in San Diego to start setting up the booth. The first thing we discovered was our booth assignment was incorrect. After getting all our stuff forklifted over to the correct booth, we commenced building.
And the race was on. Our goal? To have our booth completely assembled by 5 p.m., when the Center doors crashed open for a three-hour Preview Night, open to the public. We made it ... just barely.
The booth had several racks lined with action figures and three display cases featuring upcoming action figure two-ups (Kurt Warner from NFL Series 1, Revolver Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid 2, Talisac from Clive Barker's Tortured Souls, Tenchi Masaki from Tenchi Muyo!, T-1000 from Terminator 2 and the Violator from Spawn Series 20), plenty of Urizen figures both in and out of the package and even a Samurai Wars accessory pack for folks to drool over.
Our setup also included props from the Spawn film, a central table where people could sign up for the Collector's Club and a couple of binders showcasing all our upcoming figures for the rest of the year.
Wednesday night was moderately busy, but mellow. Thursday morning the onslaught came and didn't end until we were packing up to leave Sunday evening.
Granted, packing up was much easier than loading in, considering we gave away hundreds and hundreds of action figures and signed comic books. We held dozens of drawings throughout the week for people who signed up for the Club. Most everyone who visited the booth left happy.
The biggest news of the weekend, though, had to be Clive Barker's Tortured Souls. We had two packaged sets on display (and, no, we didn't give them away) and, without fail, every person that came to the booth inquired about them. Most were disappointed when they found out the figures were for display only and not for sale.
The coolest part of the Con, though, was the chance to connect with our fans face to face, answering their questions, listening to their comments and just shooting the breeze. We had a blast and hope everyone that attended did, too.

France to get an almost transparent Apple Store
Aix en Provence, France is getting a new Apple Store according to ifoAppleStore. It'll be constructed in a way that'll make it almost transparent. It will be modeled somewhat from the New York City Apple store on the upper west side. A store near me in Lincoln Park, IL already has an almost all glass design as well.
Aix en Provence receives heavy tourism and could be considered a prime location. The area has seen a lot of construction lately with the addition of several up-scale stores and shops. The store should open to the public by late 2012 or early 2013.

Hi everyone,
Congrats on being pregnant! healthy pregnancies to all...
I have been taking LDA and folic acid for a few months now, prepping for TTC (recommended by doctor). we are not officially trying, but also not preventing (trying not to place too much pressure on ourselves).
I have a friend who is about 18 weeks pregnant (1st pregnancy through IVF), and she was put on baby aspirin prior to implantation and asked to remain on baby aspirin (relating to her IVF and not PE risk). She had regular spotting/bleeding throughout first trimester and into her second, and when she saw a specialist at 16 weeks he told her to stop taking the baby aspirin and see if the bleeding tapered off. sure enough it did. baby is growing well.
My question for the PE community on this board is, does anyone have experience on being on LDA, getting pregnant and spotting in first few weeks, or trimester (not related to initial implantation spotting)? and that the pregnancy went on without any threatened miscarriage?
I am either being too proactive or a worry wart way ahead of time just wanted to know the experience of women with previous PE, as many may be taking LDA prior to conception or starting during first trimester.
Thanks for sharing your experiences

Marvel giving away over 700 free digital comics... again!
Marvel has retconned and reissued their big comiXology giveaway, promising the #1 issues of up to 700 digital comics -- for free. To get in on the mighty Marvel giveaway, you need to register between now 11:59pm, April 9. In other words, tomorrow night. According to Marvel:
Starting Thursday, April 11th, 2013, we will begin notifying waves of fans by email to provide redemption instructions and let them know when they can access the Marvel #1 offer.
Don't worry if your email doesn't arrive on April 11th. As long as you signed up by April 9, 2013, you will receive your email soon! We want to make sure we get to all our fans so that they have the best experience possible.
I just completed the sign-up process -- I already had an account thanks to Marvel Unlimited -- and it was really quick. It's also really smart. Giving away a ton of #1 issues is really a giant tease. Almost none of them will be complete stories unto themselves, but they will be introductions and setups to the characters and arcs Marvel hopes you like, and want to read more of.
You'll need the Comics app, or the Marvel-branded version of the same app, to read the comics, and you'll need to register via the link below. Let me know if you sign up, when you get your email, and which comics you plan on grabbing!
Free - Generic version
Free - Marvel version

Marvel giving away over 700 free digital comics... again!
I'm sure Rene is in heaven right now. I hope all the comic fans enjoy, glad to hear for all!
This is a very good reason to download this again, many free comics, sounds awesome.
So glad they're offering these up again. While I can read most of them though Marvel Unlimited, it's nice to get those I can't for free. Now, I could get really excited about a few key updates to the unlimited app such as full screen viewing like Comixology offers, better onscreen navigation, native app support, perhaps?

Highlight Topic Information Visualization
We would like to inform you that editorial work for the SAP Design Guild Website ended at the end of November 2013. The site itself will remain available as a useful resource for a – yet to be determined – amount of time.
We would like to say Thank You and Good-Bye to our visitors – See you at the SAP User Experience Community!
Final Editorial: Thank You and Good-Bye! In his final editorial, our author would like to say good-bye in a personal style by reminding you of how the Website came into existence and by reviewing some of the characteristics that made up the SAP Design Guild Website's personality.
Book Review: Information Visualization, Third Edition This is our author's final book review for the SAP Design Guild Website, and perhaps not surprisingly, it's a book about information visualization, namely the third edition of Colin Ware's classic textbook Information Visualization: Perception for Design. The subtitle already indicates that this book differs from other ones on this subject matter: The characteristics of human visual perception build the fundament of the book – and of the guidelines that it provides for designers in its most recent edition. Thus, potential readers should be prepared for the book's unique approach to the topic.
Book Review: Microinteractions In the recent past, our author has reviewed books written by designers that were devoted to the task of designing the "big problems" or rather, tackling them with designerly methods: Nelson's & Stolterman's book The Design Way and Guenther's book Intersection. The latter approaches the (re)design of large enterprises. In this review, he is confronted with more or less the opposite position: designing the "small things." Dan Saffer calls the small things microinteractions, which is also the short title of his new book (Microinteractions). The book's subtitle, Designing with details, proclaims that, in this approach, details matter. Here, designers focus on the details and design them with care.
Evolution of SAP's UX Strategy For one year now, SAP has been running a work group which is working intensively on SAP's user experience strategy. The resulting UX strategy was defined and published in April this year and after another round with the work group has now been updated with a new iteration that is presented in this article.
Highlight Topic Information Visualization We continue the tradition of publishing highlight topics on the SAP Design Guild Website with a collection of articles focusing on the topic of information visualization. This emerging field has recently attracted a great deal of attention in the world of design – reason enough to highlight it on the SAP Design Guild Website.
November 22, 2013: Thank You and Good-Bye! In October 2010, I eventually came to the conclusion that I ought to join a trend which, at the time, was no longer really new – and publish a UI design blog. I already had some experience with writing blog-like articles, because, between 2005 and 2007, I had published an internal SAP design blog. However, with hindsight, the new articles, called "SAP UI Design Blinks," were often much longer than what you would rightfully expect from a blog...
November 20, 2013: A Lesson from Colin Ware's Book Information Visualization Information Visualization, Third Edition: Perception for Design by Colin Ware was the last book I reviewed for the SAP Design Guild website. In the final chapter, I hit upon a surprising figure for the capacity of our long-term memory, which inspired me to remember my roots in physics and attain a perspective based on the powers of ten.

Update (Feb. 17): Also check out the Go Skating Toronto Google Maps-based Facebook app created by the gang at FindByClick.com!
King (or Queen) of the World
King (or Queen) of the World is a Facebook strategy game that uses Google Maps to demonstrate the current territories of game players.
The game is a territorial game of diplomacy, alliances and battles. To join the game a player chooses a location on a Google Map. Google Maps are also used to show the locations of game players and the defending and invading soldiers of player battles.
This game currently boasts a user rating of 4.9 out of 5 on Facebook and the Facebook User Reviews of the game are unanimously enthusiastic. Here is just one review from one of the game's fans,
"This is the best, most subtle, and best-supported game application on Facebook. That diplomacy, strategy, geography and the strongest modular aspects of Facebook's architecture have all been rolled into the mechanics and play of one game is astoundingly brilliant. Long live the KoTW!".
Be warned however, if the game reviews are anything to go by, once you register for this game you can kiss your social life good bye. Instead you will find yourself hooked on building alliances and taking over the world.
Unype is described by its designers as "a multi-user mirror-world for sharing locations, photos, videos and models and for playing games inside Google Earth and Google Maps, with all social networks as entry points." Which is a fairly good summary of the features of this fun map.
If you view the map at Unype you can enter your location on the map anonymously and add pictures or videos, you can use a chat feature to talk to other users and you can even play a geography game.
However the real fun comes when you access Unype through Facebook, MySpace, Ning, Orkut, Hi5 or Bebo. If you interact with the map on any of these sites your social network profile is added to the map automatically. Now you can share videos and pictures with your friends on any of the aforementioned networks through Unype.
The chat and game options on Unype can be toggled on or off and appear directly under the map. The game is a simple test of your knowledge of the world, requiring you to find locations on the map. You can also add 3d models to the map which will appear when you use the Google Earth option.
And that isn't all. Unype will also let you embed their map in your own website or blog. Which means that your readers can share their pictures and videos with each other through a Google Map. Soon there will be even more options as Unype say they are presently "working with various companies to build vertical applications for them on top of the Unype platform."
hobnobLover's Facebook Application displays the latest places mapped by members of hobnobLover. Once you register you can view your own places, your friend's mapped places or the places of any other member.
The Google Map in the Facebook application spools through the latest places added. Each place, as it is shown, is accompanied by a thumbnail picture of the place and some information. Clicking on the picture or the place name will take you to another page where you can find more information, reviews, and comments for that place.
If you like the Google Map in this Facebook application you can even add it to your own web page or blog with this Google Gadget.
See three other facebook apps that allow you to map your friends in this post from last year..
