Does it make me a "super freak" if I read one (or more) of his books more than once?? (I'm okay with that)

Does it make me a "super freak" if I read one (or more) of his books more than once?? (I'm okay with that)
Stephen King doesn't write horror. He writes about the ordinary relationships that people have with each other in the midst of extraordinary events...
That said I run into things like this all the time...
Heck, Ol King is some of the tamer stuff I read, Heh heh...
Hello. I'm new here. Since this is the oldest thread I could find pertaining to introductions, I decided to start here. Nice to meet you, hope you feel the same. As for the "freak" thread? No, I don't think Stephen King is anything near that ballpark. He is a great writer, however, and I've come here to visit this place and find out more about him. Also, I'm no good at using these parenthetical writing tools on these sites, so if this comes out screwed up, you can certainly blame me. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday guys
General introductions go in the Newbies Start Here Forum.
Ha ha I love this thread!
My commute to and from work each day is about 3 hours, so I read on the train to keep myself occupied. I'm always amazed at the random people who comment on me reading a Stephen King book - I never hear anyone commenting on other people's non-SK books! One guy said what was a young girl like me doing reading Stephen King (I'm 31!), and another was intent on telling me how bloodthirsty SK was!
I tell you what, there are plenty of nutters about, and I seem to meet them all on the train or at the train station
Well, if being a fan of SK stories makes you a freak, then I'm a freak and I don't mind admitting to it!!!
when i was younger and a nanny in england my bosses friends were actually worried about their kids being near me as i read SK and watched horror movies and god forbid ...i went to rock concerts!!!
so obviously after sacrificing the youngest to beezlebub and dancin naked in the moonlight out in the back yard whilst listening to music played backwards they were convinced there was nothing wrong with me lol
(kidding on the last bit - only danced like that when drunk but whole different post!!)

A North Charleston man could spend up to 10 years in prison if convicted of vandalizing a church.
Ashton Taylor Clayton, 19, was released on a $20,000 surety bond after his arrest July 1.
Dorchester County Sheriffs Office investigators arrested Clayton and charged him with two counts of vandalism of a place of worship in connection with two incidents that occurred at Peace Lutheran Church in North Charleston.
Clayton is also charged with giving false information to law enforcement, according to DCSO officials.
DCSO first received reports of vandalism at the church on May 20, 2014. According to a DCSO incident report, a witness reported seeing a subject wearing black pants, a black jacket with a black hood, and a black back pack behind the church at around 7:15 a.m. She said the subject destroyed a statue of St. Francis and took a piece of the statue into a wooded area near the church.
The second incident occurred sometime between midnight and 7 a.m. June 28. According to a DCSO incident report, an unknown subject vandalized the churchs garden, threw eggs at the front door, and placed a dead squirrel and a note in the churchs mailbox. The note stated, this squirrel is about as alive as your beloved Christ. Hail Satan! Hail Odin! Hail Anarchy! The note also contained drawings of a pentagram, Nordic Rune, and anarchy sign and stated that it was from Count Grishnok, according to the report.
Further investigation revealed that Count Grishnok is a Norwegian heavy metal artist who was convicted of murder and the arson of three churches; the artist is also believed to be affiliated with an organization known as Heathen Front, a group which at various times has been accused of Neo-Naziism, White Supremacism, Anti- Christianity, and Anti-Semitism.
DCSO Chief Deputy Sam Richardson said the investigation has revealed no evidence to indicate that Clayton is affiliated with any cult or hate group.
The investigation is ongoing, according to DCSO officials.

Arizona Wildcats
A Wildcat remembers his favorite memories of the Territorial Cup
Author's note: This piece was originally written before the 2012 Territorial Cup game. However, given the fact that I wasn't terribly fond of how that one went, nothing on my list has changed.
When tasked with putting together a list of my favorite Territorial Cup rivalry memories, I did so with a caveat: I began my college career in 2002, and it was at that moment I became an Arizona Wildcat fan. Nothing before that really mattered to me, so unlike my colleague Vince Marotta, I do not have nearly as many games to choose from. So note that I cannot really count some of Arizona's big wins, including the 1982 victory over No. 6 ASU or the 1986 win over the fourth-ranked and then-undefeated Sun Devils.
I can't even claim the streak.
However, that does not mean I've been unable to enjoy the rivalry, as it has given me some incredible memories.
1. 2011: Arizona 31, ASU 27
There are few things better than beating Arizona State, especially when that win makes up 25 percent of Arizona's victory total. That the Wildcats knocked off the bowl-bound Sun Devils - in their own building -- was just the icing on the cake.
A fast start was followed up by a lousy middle of the game, as the Wildcats saw a 14-0 advantage turn into a 27-17 deficit early in the fourth quarter. The night began to have all the makings of one that would be just miserable, as it's never fun walking around Tempe with a UA jersey on when the Wildcats just lost.
But that's when things turned around, and I'd like to thank the Sun Devils' inability to tackle for that.
Nick Foles hit Gino Crump for a touchdown to get Arizona within three before getting injured. Ahh hell, in comes Bryson Beirne (yeah, I also knew nothing about him), and he proceeds to hit Juron Criner with a screen pass that he took 23 yards to the house.
Of course, what would an Arizona game be without some late-game drama, as Brock Osweiler led the Devils into UA territory only to throw an interception with a couple minutes left, and following an Arizona three-and-out, had one more chance to send the Wildcats (and myself) home unhappy.
He failed, and the second his last-ditch attempt to hit Mike Willie in the end zone was broken up a sense of excitement (as well as relief) washed over me and the rest of my UA brethren.
I have to be honest: For a three-year stretch, one that coincided with my graduation from college as well as my entry into the real world, the Arizona football team provided me very little joy. The team was as mediocre as could be, with chances for bowl games repeatedly ruined by the Sun Devils in the final week of the regular season.
In 2005, the Wildcats choked away a 20-5 third quarter lead with the help of injuries to quarterback Willie Tuitama and running back Mike Bell, who had tallied 117 yards and a touchdown on the afternoon. A punt return for a touchdown tied things up, and a field goal in the final minute left the Wildcats with a loss in my last rivalry game as a student.
In 2006, Adam Austin was forced to replace Willie Tuitama in the lineup due to an injury, and he turned in one of the worst performances you'll ever see in this game.
In 2007, the Wildcats had a great chance to knock off the 13th-ranked Sun Devils in Tempe, only to fall short on a chilly night thanks to a lack of a running game and untimely turnovers. Oh, and ASU QB Rudy Carpenter threw two touchdowns on the night, and a Sun Devil fan taunted a friend of mine and I with "We're going to crush you like a hamster!"
But then came 2008, when the Wildcats, who were clearly the superior team, showed it on the field with a comfortable win.
Tuitma threw two touchdowns, Nic Grigsby ran for 114 yards and a score, Rob Gronkowski dominated with six catches for 95 yards and a touchdown and Mike Thomas returned a punt 52 yards for a score. Carpenter, who was hated by both Arizona and Arizona State fans, completed just 13-of-31 passes for 124 yards on the evening.
This win was as sweet as it was cathartic, and it sent the Wildcats to the Vegas Bowl the right way while eliminating the Sun Devils from the postseason picture.
3. 2004: Arizona 34, ASU 27
The Mike Stoops era got off to a bit of a slow start, as the Wildcats won just three games. However, one of those victories was a win over 18th-ranked Arizona State, so it was all good in the Old Pueblo.
What's amazing about this game is that the Sun Devils had far more talent than the Wildcats. At quarterback it was Andrew Walter before being knocked out of the game, and he was replaced by Sam Keller. Arizona started Richard Kovalcheck.
The Sun Devils were led in receiving by the likes of Zach Miller and Derek Hagan. The Wildcats? Syndric Steptoe is about the only name one might recognize.
But none of that mattered, as Arizona turned a 17-13 second quarter deficit into a 27-17 lead by the time the fourth quarter started. It was 34-27 when Keller drove the Devils into UA territory, but his 4th-and-10 pass was dropped and the victory was sealed.
We didn't know it at the time, but it was the last win UA would earn in this series for a while.
4. 2009: Arizona 20, ASU 17
The Arizona Wildcats were a better team in 2009, and they entered the game with a 7-4 record compared to ASU's 4-7 mark. The 'Cats were heading for the Holiday Bowl, while the Devils were heading home.
I went to this game fully expecting a UA victory, but hoped it would be a quick one since I was scheduled to attend my parents' wedding vows renewal later in the evening.
Things seemed to be going that direction, as the Wildcats had a 14-0 halftime lead thanks to a 67-yard run by Keola Antolin and a blocked punt that was returned for a score.
Oh, and ASU starting Samson Szakacsy helped, too.
But the Devils battled back, even tying things up with just over two minutes remaining.
A three-and-out from the Arizona offense led to a punt, and ASU return man Kyle Williams, who had already caught two touchdowns on the afternoon, failed to corral the punt. The muff was recovered by UA at the Sun Devil 22, and three plays later Arizona had the ball at 15 ready to kick a field goal.
Knowing time was of the essence I rushed down from my upper deck seat to the lower level, watched Alex Zendejas's 32-yard attempt split the uprights through a lower-level entryway, and bolted out of Sun Devil Stadium.
It was a good day.

AUBURN, Ala. -- Elston Turner scored 21 points and Alex Caruso added 14 points and eight assists in Texas A&M's come-from-behind victory over Auburn, 65-56 Wednesday night.
Caruso entered the game averaging 4.6 points and 3.2 assists before finishing with season highs.
Auburn opened the game with a 12-0 run through the first 6 minutes of play, but Texas A&M (16-10, 6-7 Southeastern Conference) fought back to cut the Tigers' lead to 31-29 by halftime. The Aggies closed the game on a 12-5 run over the final 5 minutes to pull away.
The Aggies outshot Auburn from the field, finishing 22 of 50, while the Tigers made 21 of 56 shots.
Allen Payne led Auburn (9-17, 3-10) with 11 points, while Rob Chubb, Chris Denson and Jordan Price each added 9 points.
Texas A&M answered Auburn's 12-0, game-opening run with a 24-11 run over the next 11 minutes to take its first lead at 24-23. Auburn went on a 7-3 run from there, but a Turner 3-pointer with 2 seconds showing before halftime made to a two-point game.
Auburn held its final lead of the contest at 42-41 with 12:19 to play before a pair of Turner free throws put the Aggies ahead. Those two points were the first of seven straight points scored by Turner over the next 1:06 to stretch the Aggies' lead.
Texas A&M shot 11 of 30 from the field in the first half before turning things around and shooting 11 of 20 in the second half. Auburn's shooting dropped off from 13 of 26 in the first half to 8 of 30 in the second.

The Waterfront Redevelopment Partners LP, a partnership between Dunn Twiggar Company, LLC, Michael Dunn Co. Ltd. and Jaindl Properties, LLC, presented its master plan for The Waterfront project to the Allentown City Planning Commission today.
The planned development, officially called The Waterfront, will transform approximately 26 acres of industrial land along the western side of the Lehigh River in Allentown into a waterfront setting for office, retail, restaurant, residential and other commercial development.
According to the partners, the Waterfront will consist of 610,000 square feet of office space, 172 residential apartments, and 130,000 square feet of retail space.
It will include 2,800 parking spaces, including multi-level garages.
There will be walking trails along a half-mile of river frontage as well as more than seven acres of landscaped property. There will also be additional boating facilities created along the Lehigh River.
"Our submission of the master plan to the Allentown Planning Commission is the start of the land development approval process," said Ryan Dunn, a principal of Dunn Twiggar Company.
"Such a master plan sets the framework for the development and does not include many of the engineering aspects which will be detailed in later plans. Our master plan is aligned with the master plan developed through the City of Allentown's Lehigh River Waterfront Project."
Andrew Twiggar, another principal of the firm, said that while the master plan is looking at the development project in its entirety, the initial focus will be on the land south of Tilghman Street.
"We will be submitting our fully engineered plans to the city and to other regulatory agencies in the next few months. We anticipate starting construction in 2014, with initial occupancy expected during early 2015," he said.
The site is located within the City of Allentown's Neighborhood Improvement Zone (NIZ).
The tax designation has provided developers the ability to begin new projects within the city, said Mark Jaindl, of Jaindl Properties.
"We are very excited about the level of interest being expressed from companies looking to grow into Allentown. The NIZ has created a level of energy in the city that hasn't been felt for decades."

An early morning head-on collision in Burleson County left an Austin woman dead and sent a Somerville man to the hospital.
DPS officials say 41-year old Samantha Renee Tittle, of Austin, was headed west bound on FM-60 when her 2002 Saturn drifted into the east bound lane.
The Saturn collided head-on with a 1993 Mercury 4-door, driven by 21-year old Edward Deion Pool of Somerville.
Investigators say both drivers were transported to St. Joseph's Hospital in Bryan.
Tittle later died at St. Joseph. Pool sustained head injuries in the crash but is listed in good condition.
Both drivers were wearing seatbelts.

I've written before about Enso, a very interesting project that lets you perform tasks from a command-line that interacts with the user interface. The software comes with some basic commands (like launching programs, performing calculations), but it can be extended with other commands. Enso has recently launched in beta some plug-ins that add new commands.
Let's say you need to translate into French some text from an email message you're composing in Gmail. You'll have to select the text, open a new window or tab, go to Google Translate or other translation service, paste the text, choose the option to translate from English to French, click on a button, select the translation and copy it, go back to Gmail and paste the text. The new translation commands for Enso let you perform the same task much faster: select the text, trigger the command line (press Caps-Lock), type the first letters from the command ("translate to French") and the translated text will replace the selected text. Of course, you won't get a more accurate translation, but at least you won't lose the original context and get distracted by other tasks.
The search commands let you select some text and type the name of one of the supported search services to launch a new page with the corresponding search result. This is faster than using your browser's search features or extensions like Hyperwords because you don't have visually identify the right option from a long list. Unfortunately, these commands defeat the one of the main purposes of Enso: don't lose the context. An alternative way to implement them would be to use APIs like Google AJAX API to display search results without leaving the page. In fact, my favorite use of this API is a tool called Linkify that allows me link to a search result by selecting some text from a textarea and choosing one of the search results displayed in a small sidebar.
There are also commands for controlling music players or to convert LaTeX markup into a nice mathematical expression. Of course, an API would make it easier to build many other plug-ins for Enso.
For now, Enso works only on Windows 2000/XP/Vista and the main program costs $20 (there's a 30-day trial), while all the plug-ins described above are free. I think a better approach would be to pay for some additional commands and make the main program free. When you can find a lot of great software like Google Desktop, Launchy, Quicksilver, Foxytunes, I'm not sure many people are going to pay for Enso.
The software comes from a small company called Humanized that promises "to provide you with the most humane software we are capable of making". Great interfaces, easy to use software, simplicity - I've heard these things before (I wonder where?).
"Some tasks—for instance, teaching a child arithmetic—are intrinsically pretty complicated. But some aren't. Setting the time on a wristwatch, for instance, shouldn't be that hard; on old analog wristwatches, it basically involved pulling out a knob, twisting it until the watch showed the correct time, and pushing the knob back in again. But on newer digital wristwatches—ones that claim to be more powerful and feature-loaded than their analog counterparts—it involves pressing a series of buttons in a hard-to-remember, often unforgiving order. Most people dread setting the time on their digital watches, and for good reason."

Shopping Carts
YouPay is an online Shopping Cart system developed by the UIS Office of Web Services (OWS) in the fall of 2009.
YouPay works with the University of Illinois iPay system and allows you to process online credit card transactions on your department website.
- The Office of Web Services requires at least three weeks to develop the form and its functionality. This allows time for development and testing. In addition, the completion time is dependent on meeting OBFS procedures and fulfilling requirements.
- Download the complete procedures for setting up a YouPay Shopping Cart (pdf)
How YouPay Works
- In order for your department to process online credit card transactions, you need to submit an application for an account in iPay, the University of Illinois credit card processing
system managed by OBFS. [Download the complete procedures]
- Also, your fiscal officer will need to set up an account where the payments will be received.
- Once your accounts are set up, the OBFS department will give OWS the necessary processing-related information to create a YouPay shopping cart for your department website.
- Once we set up your shopping cart, we will place a button on your website that takes users to the cart.
- We will also give you access to an Administration Panel, where you can monitor transactions. You will use this panel for any issues related to a customer complaint. You can also copy and save address, email and phone info from customers for your mailing and contact lists.
Our Clients
To date, OWS has created several online shopping carts:
- Two separate conference registration carts for the BAM Center for Business and Regulation.
- A registration cart for the Illinois Issues Gove dinner.
- Registration carts for CSPL projects.

Ubuntu bakes Amazon search results into OS to raise cash
The new version of Ubuntu Linux slated for release in October introduces a feature that some users claim is at worst a violation of privacy or, at best, generally annoying. Ubuntu 12.10 introduces search results from Amazon into the Dash. That means you could be searching for a file or application on your computer and get shopping results under a "more suggestions" section after your general results.
Canonical Founder Mark Shuttleworth took to his blog yesterday to defend the move, saying the "Home Lens of the Dash should let you find *anything* anywhere." Adding Amazon results is just the first step in expanding the scope of Dash searches from the user's computer to the entire Web, a sensible place to start as Amazon affiliate links will help Canonical fund the development of Ubuntu. "We picked Amazon as a first place to start because most of our users are also regular users of Amazon, and it pays us to make your Amazon journey get off to a faster start," Shuttleworth wrote.
In response to accusations of privacy violations, Shuttleworth wrote "We are not telling Amazon what you are searching for. Your anonymity is preserved because we handle the query on your behalf. Don't trust us? Erm, we have root. You do trust us with your data already." The "we have root" statement raised some more hackles in the comments section of Shuttleworth's blog. Explaining what he meant, Shuttleworth said, "Every package update installs as root."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Trailing by seven points with less than six minutes on the clock, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team dug in and outscored Lee University 11-2 through the final stretch to pull out a 46-44 win against the Lady Flames Monday night in an exhibition matchup at the McKenzie Arena.
Lee's Jenna Adams dropped in a pair of free throws to give her team its largest lead of the game, 42-35, with 5:47 to play. Senior Meghan Downes (Newnan, Ga.) making just her third start for UTC, drained a 3-pointer. A steal by junior Ka'Vonne Townes (Lilburn, Ga.) put the ball back in the Downes' hands for a layup that pulled Chattanooga to within two points, 42-40, with 5:10 on the clock.
After a missed jumper by Adams, senior Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) grabbed the rebound and Towns knotted up the contest with a layup. Lee pulled back ahead on a jumper by Hollie German in the paint, but a pair of made free throws and another jumper from Downes put UTC up by the final margin, 46-44.
Lee's missed a 3-point attempt in the final seconds but managed to grab the rebound. However, Downes sealed the victory with a steal as time wound down.
Chattanooga was 18-of-51 from the field and 3-of-13 from the 3-point line while making just 7-of-20 from the charity stripe. Senior Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) led Chattanooga with 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals. She was 4-of-12 from the field while sinking all four of her free throw attempts.
Dupree chipped in seven points and had a team-high nine rebounds while Downes had nine points, seven in the final five minutes, and a pair of steals. Towns was 3-of-6 from the field for eight points in 20 minutes and added two steals.
Chattanooga outscored Lee 26-12 in the paint, had 18 points off 20 Lady Flame turnovers and UTC's bench outscored the Flames 17-3. UTC had a narrow 24-22 lead at intermission after getting off to a slow start.
Lee's Adams had a game-high 17 points and 11 rebounds in 35 minutes while German had 13 points on 5-of-26 shooting with five rebounds, three assists and five miscues. She made one of her 13 attempts from beyond the arc. Madison Lee grabbed seven of the Lady Flames rebounds and three others had five boards each.
Lee was 16-of-58 (27.6%) from the field and made 7-of-31 from the 3-point line while making 5-of-6 free throws. The Lady Flames outrebounded Chattanooga 43-40 but committed 20 turnovers. UTC dished out 10 assists and had 13 steals while committing just nine fouls.
Chattanooga opens the 2013-14 season Friday night against Alabama in the second game of a double-header with the men's team. The men will tip off against Covenant College at 5:30 p.m. with the women's game to follow 30 minutes after the conclusion.
Season and single game tickets are available at the McKenzie Arena box office with reserved seating available. Call 423-266-6627 (MOCS) for more information.

The IRS has posted special instructions for certifying acceptance agents (CAAs) to use in certifying identification documents for 2011 tax year filers who are filing on extension—returns that are due by Oct. 15, 2012. The identification number issued under these special instructions will be valid until Oct. 15, 2013.
A CAA is a person or entity that is authorized to assist individuals and other foreign persons who do not qualify for a Social Security number but need an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) to process a Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. To obtain an ITIN, taxpayers complete Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. The CAA, which enters into a written agreement with the IRS, assists in the application process by reviewing the necessary documents and forwarding the completed forms to the IRS.
The IRS previously announced that, beginning June 22, 2012, and continuing until the IRS issues new rules (which it says it will do by the beginning of the 2013 filing season), it will not issue ITINs unless the applicants provide original documents, such as passports or birth certificates, or certified copies of those documents from the issuing agencies (IR-2012-62). In addition, the IRS announced that ITINs will not be issued based on applications submitted through CAAs unless they attach original documentation or copies of original documents certified by the issuing agency.
The special instructions state that IRS-approved CAAs can certify identification documents under these procedures. The CAA certification is restricted to originals or copies certified by the issuing agency for passports or birth certificates. All other identity documents submitted must be originals or copies certified by the issuing agency with the Form W-7.
CAAs are required to personally review and certify identification documents for the primary applicant, the spouse, and any dependents in a face-to-face interview. CAAs submit copies (or originals for passports or birth certificates if required) of the identification documents that have been certified along with Form 14194, Certificate of Accuracy for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. The documents that CAAs can submit for taxpayers under these special instructions include:
In an August letter to the Commissioner Douglas Shulman, Patricia Thompson, chair of the AICPA Tax Executive Committee, told the IRS that the new interim ITIN application rules are burdensome and may prevent some taxpayers from getting the documentation they need to qualify for an ITIN. The AICPA requested immediate guidance for taxpayers who need ITINs to comply with their 2011 tax obligations.

Book: iPod touch Made Simple
Is there an iBooks version?
Still a good find. I need one for the iPad for my parents which are getting older and forget how to use some of the options within the app itself like attaching files in email and such.
Article image FAIL
I find iOS extremely simple but compared to everyone around here I'm considered an iPhone guru. Not that I know a whole bunch, I guess most people don't try to use things to it's fullest potential. When I first got my 3G all I did was yearn for knowledge. Guess it's just a different breed of people...

Let's face it, getting up in the morning for school can be hard sometimes.
It's especially hard during the winter when it's cold and gloomy outside, but you are nice and warm under the blankets! Lots of times we hit snooze over and over (and over) again to give us a few more precious moments of sleep. But those are extra minutes we could use deciding what to wear to school. So NOT cool. We Bratz love to have all the time we need to choose the perfect outfit for the day. A Bratzie can never be rushed when it comes to styling. But we also like to have our beauty sleep too!
Decisions, decisions—luckily, we always have back-up plans!
- Sometimes we try to plan our outfit the night before (which totes helps us out).
- Other times we choose an outfit that we've worn in the past and loved.
- There are also our Bratz style staples that we make sure are always on-hand in the closet, just in case we are short on time (check out last week's blog post for more deets).
- One of our favorite things to do is talk on the phone with our bestiez about different outfits to wear throughout the week. Our friends are always there to offer great style advice and we couldn't be happier!
How do you figure out what to wear every day? Help a Bratzie out and share tips in the comment section.
Snooze ya later!

An attached file LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs contains a copy of the virus.

Quick Review: Evernote for iPad
I am a huge fan of Evernote [Free- iTunes Link]. I knew they were working on an iPad version of their software, but I had no idea what to expect. Needless to say I am pleased with their design decisions and love the completely new layout for iPad.
Evernote for iPad gives you several new and fun ways to view and organize your notes. First, you can view them by thumbnail or details. I think thumbnails work best with pictures. I tend to have more text notes, so details works best for me. It gives me the name, etc. of the note at hand.
I love the way Evernote organizes notebooks and tags; the notes appear stacked on each other just like the Photos album. You can't pinch to peek and open (though that would be cool) instead you simply tap to open the notebook or tags you want. You can also sort by name or by count. There is now a separate area of view notes by place too, you can even use location services to find notes by your current location. Take audio and picture notes? Now you can do both in one note on the iPad app. This is a very nice addition.
If you are an existing Evernote user, you are in luck -- the app is universal. Download it once and use it on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
Gallery and video after the break!

Quick Review: Evernote for iPad
Wow, that looks sweet! The iPhone app is okay, although this should make the app really useful!
I'm glad you can add images and audio together too! (Hopefully I can do the same on my 3GS).
I recently started using Evernote and its "free" storage space is severely limited. I have over 4000 pics on my iphone and have used only half the iphone capacity. I uploaded 166 pics from the iphone to Evernote, used 99% of Evernote upload capacity and recieved a warning notice that Evernote utilization would be restricted until the next cycle. From a practical standpoint Evernotes data restriction allows only 2% utilization of my iphones capacity per month. With this strict data limitation, it is more functional to use my iphone, ipad, and laptops and "Forget Evernote".

During PAX Prime 2012, we had the opportunity to sit down for some quality hands on time with Piranha Games' MechWarrior Online. See what we discovered about a game that has MechWarrior fans all excited about. Keep reading and then leave your thoughts in the comments.

More mechs and further customizations can be purchased through the use of C-Bills, the game's currency. Interestingly, C-Bills can be earned through game play or can be purchased with real-world dollars.
Players can then use earned currency to purchase buffs for mechs. A nice touch that Piranha has added is that buffs purchased by players are account wide and can be used on any mech.
This right here is the big problem. (And, as usual, the MMORPG.com author skips right over it.)
This is pure, unadulterated Pay to Win. In a PvP game.
And the company is not even trying to hide it.
Want upgraded mechs?Full Repairs? Want superior mechs? Buffs? Pay more real world cash. Or Suffer.
I will not play any PvP game that is so unabashedly P2W, and a lot of others won't either.
And I notice that point is mentioned no where in the article.

I'll play it as long as I get fuzzy dice and a hula doll for my mech :)

The amount of C-bills earned through game play is actually quite considerable. However, if you would prefer not to wait until you have earned a sufficient amount, you can buy your way into a really nice mech, then have it destroyed.
Playing the game for the currency is really the best option in this game, trust me. It will provide enough for repairs and new mechs with a little patience. Oh and skill, don't forget skill, it kind of counts in this title.

No, I didn't forget that, but maybe in your hurry to flame, you missed it.
The truth is, you cannot say how fast currency will or will not be earned at launch, as adjustments like that are typically made right up until launch, and none of that changes the fact that you can BUY as much currency as you want.
And there is every incentive for the company running a so-called "F2P" game to make players use the cash shop as much as possible, or suffer.
Nor does that change the fact that buffs, new mechs, weapons upgrades, full repairs, and all the rest ARE a significant advantage in gameplay, that you can straight-up buy.
And that is the heart of it: you can buy significant advantages with real cash, in this PvP-centric game (were this a PvE centered game, no one would care much), which is a huge turn off for me, and many others.

But for example, you just won't be able to by more than 4 mechs (with ingame currency if you so choose or "real" world money if you have it) because bay slots cost "real" world money. Just like World of tanks.
So it's not really "pay to win" but "pay for convinience" and "pay for cool things"

I am mearly trying to point out that the game is not as you have mentioned in your angst. It is a really fun game and the devs seem to be on top of things. They are in the process of fine tuning everything in regards to repairs, c-bill expenditures and gain and are making sure it does not become a pay-to-win cash shop.
This is the game that diehard Mechwarrior and Battletech fans have been waiting for, for a long, long time. It will be even better when they finally add the Inner Sphere map with border skirmishes on the rim, that is where the true MMO feel comes in on this title.

game is great for jumping in and having a few fast matches... just like BF3 or CS or other similar games.. you wont want to spend days and days just playing it..
Still its a great game and well worth playing :)

Also, instead of just being able to run 15 minutes matches, these ones will actually mean something, as you will be fighting for control over planets and factories.
Nope not playing either, have fun with this one suckers who fall for pay to win.

The game is not pay2win... It is a factual error.
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.

I wonder how many of the people already screaming pay to win are actually in the beta. I have my problems with this game, but (much like WoT) pay to win isn't one of them.

already playing it its great loving it. Its not pay2 win. Nothing you cant get with in game currency.

World of Tanks IS definately Pay 2 Win. You may not NEED to pay in order to Win...but paying real world cash gives you a mechanical advantage in gameplay over a player that has put a similar ammount of effort/time into the game. That IS the very definition of Pay 2 Win.
It's like being able to have an extra strike in an at bat in baseball whenever you want to do so by paying cash. It's still possible for the other team to beat you even when you do that, but you have an advantage over them. It runs contrary to the very definition of what competition and games are SUPPOSED to be about.
People can try to SPIN it to sound like something else...but that's what it is.
I have nothing against these F2P game companies wanting to make money.....and thier games can sometimes even be fun....but if they really want gamers to respect what they are doing as a GAME, then they need to find different ways to monetize thier products OTHER then selling direct mechanical advantages. Pay for time beyond a certain number of matches, pay for access to different maps or nationalties(teams), pay for different game modes, pay for cosmetic customizations, pay for access to beta servers, pay for listing on public scoreboards/leaderboards. These are all reasonable ways to monetize a game....but paying for something that provides a direct advantage in gameplay against other players (e.g. "gold ammo, skill increases, crew experience increases, better vehicles, etc). Those go directly against the spirit of what these sorts of games are about it. It doesn't matter if it's "only a little bit", it's still Pay2Win.... that's like saying you are only "a little bit" no longer a virgin..... and it doesn't matter if a player can spend alot of hours grinding in game to earn credits for that stuff.... the fact that you can just plunk down your credit card and get it whenever you want in whaterver quantity you want is an advantage.

This is the core of it, and even proponents of this and similar games can not say it isn't so.
By paying real money, you CAN get significant advantages over people that do not. Period.
That happened in World of Tanks and is happening here.
Buffs, advanced mechs, better weapons, full repairs, the works, all can be bought with C-bills, which are also for sale for real money.
You can say that you can get many of the same rewards just by grinding in the game, and that is true. But it is also true that you can slap down that CC and get them instantly.
And that is a big problem for some of us in an PvP heavy game: paying cash for player advantages.
You can try to argue that the advantages are not gamebreaking, but even the boosters of this game can not argue they are not there and not for sale for real money.

Unlike WoT and other games that do have some P2W, the weapons you can buy are limited by Battletech lore. There are no tiers of mechs or tiers of weapons. "More powerful" weapons effectiveness is mitigated by higher heat and lower rates of fire. Reasonable balance is provided by sticking fairly closely to tabletop rules and prior mechwarrior games.
A medium laser is medium laser and does 5 armor points of damage regardless of which mech you put it in. You do not have problems like WoT where your starter gun on a tank may bounce and not do any damage at all and you need to upgrade to be competitive at your tier.

If you can buy yourself an advantage that non-paying players cannot obtain for themselves ingame, *that* is P2W. If you can buy yourself something which non-paying players have to grind X amount of hours to obtain that is Pay-for-convenience, with the caveat that X isn't some nigh on unobtainable figure that the only realistic way of getting that something is by paying.
Ammo which is unique to paying customers and is considerably better than the regular counterpart is P2W. Mechs which are available to someone paying or playing enough to afford one is Pay-for-convenience.

I've never payed a single dime in WoT, and I don't suspect that I will in MWO. I have never felt that I needed to, I've never hit a brick wall in my progression or fun and thought "Well, guess I need to spend money to go forward".
Both WoT and MWO are doing F2P the way it should be done. There is absolutely nothing wrong with allowing people to pay for convenience, which is exactly what all the things you listed are. Skill increases, so... it's not as if you can pay to have more crew skills. Faster xp rates, well... it's not as if they can level up higher than I can. I also have access to all the same vehicles that anyone who pays does (excluding the premium tanks of course, which aren't all that great and the ones that are aren't game breaking). As for gold ammo, I've killed plenty of people without it so I don't feel it's needed at all. I'm sure I've been killed by it, and I'm sure I've probably killed someone using it, it's a non-issue in my opinion.
As for your monetization suggestions that I highlighted in red, just no. While a couple things are okay, such as cosmetics (which WoT does, and I'm sure that MWO will do as well), most of what you listed is a perfect way to kill your game. Only letting people play a certain amount of matches per day? Yeah, good idea, pay me or you can't play my F2P title.
I'll take the way WoT and MWO are handling things over your suggestions any day. I get access to all the tanks/mechs, all the maps (including new ones), all game modes (including new ones) and everything else that the game offers for free. Let people pay to level faster, it doesn't bother me at all.

You are entitled to your opinion. However as far as I'm concerned it goes directly against the spirit of what games and competition SHOULD be about. No purchases of direct advantages in play, no matter how big or how small.
In terms of monetization. If I like bowling, I have no problem with paying the owner of the bowling ally for the time I spend using one of his lanes. I have a huge problem with him allowing me to buy an extra ball per frame to use against my opponent. In my book that's not called bowling or sport or gaming...it's called SHOPPING.
Half the problem is the developers...but the other half is folks that expect to get all these services for free...even worse, those who think it's an acceptable form of competition to pay for direct advantage over thier compeition.
I'm not going to speak for MWO, as in all fairness I have no direct knowledge of it....but I do have direct knowledge of WoT...and it most definately is Pay 2 Win.

Is this a big deal?
I only ask because it seems like the iOS experience has been "Appified" by Apple...For example, there's a Youtube app, no one goes to Youtube.com on iPhone....they just use the App.
So since this "Appification" of the web. Does this have substantial tangible results for end users?
Thanks. :)
iOS 4.2 features: Improved Safari web browser
While AirPrint and AirPlay integration, and Find in Page are the big user-facing features new to iOS 4.2 Safari, MobileXWeb points out that Apple also snuck in a few improvements under the hood:
- Accelerometer & Gyroscope support through the DeviceOrientation API
- WebSockets API from HTML5
- Updated HTML 5 Form Support
- Partial XHR-2 Support
- New JavaScript data types
- New DOM events
- Enhanced SVG and Canvas support
If you are a developer let us know how useful these additions will be to your Web Apps. If you're not a developer that might look like mumbo jumbo to you but rest assured it means more better web applications could be coming your way soon, and since Apple uses Safari's WebKit to render everything from iTunes to App Store or iAd to Apple.com, and Google uses it Gmail and pretty much all their sites, there's potential for a lot more, lot better content coming our way.
Video after the break!

iOS 4.2 features: Improved Safari web browser
Is this a big deal?
No disrespect, but us there a focus on your camera by chance? It looks like these under the hood features are for newer devices, or a few 32 gig iPod touch 3rd gen. I have not really noticed anything on a touch 2gen 16gig. If it was not so close to an iPad 2, I would upgrade to a 4th generation touch.
@ohfer actually, I prefer the YouTube webapp over the YouTube native app because it's cleaner, better, and a more consistent experience (because it was made by YouTube, as opposed to the native app, which was made by Apple). Other plus is that you can shift video to HQ on the webapp, even on 3G, so videos are clearer.
Also, look at using regular Facebook.com on the iPad as opposed to the Facebook native app.
All that being said, it gives devs flexibility to do more with regular websites and touch websites. There are also many native apps that use some native functionality, but use an embedded Safari viewer to deliver content (thus allowing updates to core code without updating the app itself).
Yes it matters because there are some webapps that people still use and this will only amplify the experience. Like I don't use the YouTube app I use the mobile YouTube webapp.
@ohfer..., there are still a lot of web-only apps. Originally, Apple thought they could get away with telling devs to only make web apps. Well, that wasn't good enough, certainly then, but everyone expects web apps continue to get more powerful. Also, a lot of the regular apps use the Safari component inside, so improving Safari helps there as well.
Interesting comments.
I was certainly curious what effect this would have on the "App-centric" iOS.
Not that being App-centric is a bad thing. I love my iPhone 4.
and I thought AT&T boost it signal. My Safari was noticeably faster after the update. So wonder if that is why.
one new annoying "feature" is how Mobile Safari pops open the recent google search field when you open a new window.
Please, Apple.. let the end uses DISABLE things like that. I absolutely do NOT want it to pop up my recent searches! Why? A little privacy is nice. A friend of mine was looking over my shoulder yesterday and I opened a new window.. BAM up comes my list of recent Google searches, very clearly showing what birthday gifts I was looking for. Thanks, Apple. :/
Bah. I want to swipe between tabs.
+2 for YouTube web over the default app. The only time the YouTube app gets used on my phone is when it is opened by me clicking a link. Otherwise, I never use it. Going to the mobile YouTube site is, IMO, a much better experience. Especially considering that you can play HD videos over 3G if/whenever you want, easily.
This is a very interesting article. Thanks for this site. Well made! You will find more informations on Lingerie de charme. There's everything all you can need!

Amazing, versatile and comfortable! I tried on a dress at the store and the sale person gave these pumps to try on with the dress.

Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
One of the most dangerous aspects of hypertension is that you may not know that you have it. In fact, nearly one-third of people who have high blood pressure don't know it. The only way to know if your blood pressure is high is through regular checkups. This is especially important if you have a close relative who has high blood pressure.
