Not a single reference to the simple fact I have repeated, over FIVE times, including multiple times in the OP, that I have never, ever, ever went AFK, to my misery.
How you come to this conclusion is beyond me, and this is perhaps as bad as "How is babby formed?"

Well, Leeg, I did respond to your PM to play with you. Hope it wasnt some ill-will attempt to "report" me to the LoL Tribunal for being afk in a game we never played.
Anyway, here is another MOBA you should check-out, with probably a smaller and more mature player-base. http://www.riseofimmortals.com/
Rise of Immortals is newer and not bad by any means.

You want someone to play with you while stating up front you will report them? Love the maturity there. Anyway, as I stated before, people threaten to report me all the time and I have never received a ban. Like I said, the tribunal is a jury of your peers, even if they are in a bad mood and find you guilty for no reason, the Judge(insert riot employee here) decides the punishment, if any. Yes, the system has flaws, just as our own judicial system in the US it is modelled after.
My suggestion to anyone in and out of the game is this; If someone threatens you, laugh it off. If they follow through with the threat, report them for it (Yes, false reporting is punishable). In the end, both cases will be reviewed by a riot employee, and it will be obvious who is at fault.

Thanks, but I actually love LoL too much to enjoy that game. (It's how I found LoL). Specifically, I love Jungling, and LoL's characters are simply addicted!
I will, however, never pay a dime to RIOT GAMES due to their philosophy on banning both guilty and innocent players.
1) I don't believe a paying customer should ever be denied what they payed for, unless exploiting/cheating in a MMORPG, hacking databases, or other illegal activities. If banned or suspended, all money should be refunded. I believe this to be important to give power to consumers, so that corporations cannot accept payment for a service, and then immediately deny this service. In the real world, corporations who do this get sued and usually settle. Currently, we faux-sign psuedo-documents, giving all rights and power to corporations, which IMO is incorrect. It should be a mutual contract, where players agree to pay a subscription to use a service, and if the service is denied before the subscription is finished, a refund is given. If suspended in any way, additional game time must be given to insure the subscription lasts for the agree upon day, and if suspended the customer has the right to a refund.
Consumers need rights, so they cannot be screwed out of their hard earned money. We must remember in all of this, the CONSUMER is the one who works hard for the money, not the corporations who collect millions in revenue. Yes, the corporation does work hard to produce a quality product (sometimes) and quality service (sometimes), but it is the consumer who is working their butts off to fund their entertainment and services. Stealing money from consumers is never the answer, even for a corporation to be treated well. (Solely because corporations are powerful and can easily suffer the hurt, while consumers are weak, divided, and it becomes very difficult to become a single, powerful entity which can take on the corporation.)
2) Banning of any innocent players immediately sets off my skepticism and mistrust of RIOT GAMES. "If they can do this to other people, they can do this to me!" I will never support a business which has a possibility of stealing my money for absolutely no reason. As for MMORPG's? I have never had any trouble with them, but if I were to be banned I would dispute the charge immediately. I have a multitude of friends who always win, usually by the corporation providing a refund, when disputing a charge. (A refund is given for accidental charges or disatisfied product, while a undisputed chargeback is accepted for bans or suspensions.)
I actually have had and have heard of wonderful encounters with BLIZZARD's customer service in relation to refunds. This company has so much money, they are comfortable and not greedy at all, fully allowing refunds to those who request it because of accidental reoccuring charge, suspension, bans (denial of service), or disatisfaction. NCSoft also, despite its corporate greedy nature, treats its customers quite well as well. It is very nice that their greed doesn't extend to the customer, and stops at screwing its own partners (Richard Garriott). It's also wonderful that Mr. Garriott successfully sued NCSoft for 20+ million, because it shows the justice system DOES work sometimes in delivering quality justice and fair results. (Unlike RIOT GAME's unjust system.)
Customer has power, or doesn't pay. It's my choice, and my wallet counts :)
This is one of those rare occurences when the attitude of "If you don't like it, then leave!" applies. I am doing just that. Funny how people still have this attitude even after you leave. Funny how people respond when you are trying to help them by telling of injustice, which is echoed throughout the internet across hundreds of threads stating the exact same thing.
Try the LoL official forums. Every day there are legitimately mature people who wish to know what they did to get banned. Many want to know because they want to stop those actions so they won't get banned in the future. When they are told they went "AFK" too many times, when this is simply not true, what else are they suppose to do besides quit?

I'm sorry for the delay, I have to reinstall the game and redownload it. I had the uninstall screen up, thinking I hadn't yet clicked "uninstall" and to my mistake after sending the invite, I had already finished.

Every thread involving this game basically breaks down to how bad the community is in this game. In this case you have children reporting out of spite and you get punished. That doesn't suprise me at all. From the little time I messed w/ this game the lack of a tolerable community was the first thing I noticed and why the game didn't remain on my hard drive long. I find it funny those that attack the op here further prove the point about the surly community and the lack of maturity.

The idea that kids report people for know reason all the time is believable because Ive heard kids doing it over TS3.... all the time. Players that do the tribunal aren't bothering to look at anything... they just click cause they want their weeks worth of points for it. And there are so many reports that I doubt a riot game employee actually bothers to really look at the reports if that is even the case. They probably say "well he has more than the normal amount of reports" and just ban.

I kinda agree.
LoL is mostly for people that are either really casual (or not-good at dota-genre game) or young.
Riot games and LoL were doing great... at start. But they began to remove every single mechanism that where too much "anti-fun" or not noob-friendly. Then they punish way too many people wrongly, and they don't care about it if it's right or wrong, less job for them is good.
Then the pricing and IP gain changed, for the worst. The customer support begin to take WAY TOO MUCH time. 1 months for an answer is not acceptable.
For me, they just went downhille, and continu to go that way. They not released Dominion, which was the only "except the unexpected" from last year.. LOL. And it end up by being a map for the biggest noob player ever. No need to teamfight, no need to farm. Way to remove all skill needed to play the game and make it even more noob-friendly and kill the already non-competitive scene.
For me it just don't worth it anymore. Then they come out.. WE HAVE 15M Subcription... and everyone sticked to that, but only 1M player play daily. So they aren't as popular as most people think. Nexon have 16M sub, but they are far to have 16m player. And Nexon is shit too, like Riot Games.

Funny how after playing for 7 months+ I have never been banned asingle hour.
And yet i play with the same community as the OP does. OP I 'm sorry you didn't like htis game but if you ask your team to surrender non-stop when others declare that they still want to give it a shot constitutes a reason to get reported for.
So instead of raging about it simply accept the fact that at least two people in your team where still having fun in those games you pushed to surrender and you were trying to take it away from them.
You probably should have been warned first but anyway LOL doesn't seem like a game for you.
p.s. the community is indeed bad and composed by teens and children mostly but that does not justify in any place negative behaviors by others. OP probably deserved the ban

How can a 'mature player' even approach this game is beyond me. But I am 22 and have been with DOTA for 6 years so I wouldnt really know...I guess its for different kind of people. Maybe this video will explain better:

Go watch a Dota match and u will see people farming for 40 mints, then after 1-2 team fights they end the game. Hell you even get heroes who can 1v5 a team after farming.
LOL requires more team play and thinking as a group, it is very fast paced on Dominion and The main map is also pretty fast. Now In LOL the lanes are always busy getting ganked, fighting and such so you wont see some carry farming for 40 mints. You see most Dota players are ignorant and will always blindly accuse other games of being worst when It is very clear that LOL is very successful in every way possible. BTW am sure the average age of players In LOL is alot older than Dota. First time i played Dota, I met the biggest asses of the gaming community which really went downhill from there. Lets see how Dota 2 turns out for you Dota fans, I for one wont be expecting anything from it.

LoL = immature kiddies that are there to press report button. Dota community worse? At least you can flame the shit out of someone and get it off your chest instead of getting banned coz some child reported you. You think I didnt play it?
Do not tell me its faster paced coz it isnt. For 20 minutes you cant even gank at tower coz it will just rape you, its pathetically balanced and the whole purpose of the game is for childeren to have fun. Theres 0 competition included with such bad balance, everything just flying around you in team fights...just bad.
I've seen thousands of dota matches, there are almost always 1-2 frags per minute but it all depends on the picks anyway. And Dota 2 is just the upgraded version, but please don't bother with this game, i want you in your awesome lol community.

The last time I checked, there is absolutely nothing mature about swearing, raging, and harassing other individuals. Just because someone may feel the need to rant does not mean they need to harm the enjoyment of others.
Also, don't think for a minute that Valve will let you harass others in Dota 2.

'War Horse': Broadway favorite gallops into StranahanWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
Horse power — that's the specialty harnessed by the Handspring Puppet Company.
Behold Joey, the beautiful, majestic star of the theatrical production "War Horse."
Standing 24 hands high (about 8 feet), the puppet weighs 120 pounds with a frame mostly made of stained cane.
It takes three puppeteers to put Joey through his paces onstage.
"[Handspring Puppet Company is] very much adamant about giving puppets breath and making sure all their puppets breathe," said Jon Hoche, puppet captain with the U.S. tour of the play. "They want to give the horses breath, and it takes all three of the puppeteers to do that."
Hoche oversees the equine's head, while another mans the heart and front legs, and the third controls the hindquarters. The creature's spine is tethered to the backs of the two puppeteers so that their movements mimic breathing.
"Handspring Puppet Company tries to find emotional indicators on all their projects, and they really stress the importance of not only stillness in their puppets, but also micro-movement within their puppet," Hoche explained.
"The horses are larger than life and it's one thing to have them galloping across stage and doing all these amazing things like full cavalry charges, but there are real magical moments where you see this horse standing in the stable just breathing; you'll see just a very small flick of the ear. Those kind of moments really bring the audience into the play and really have them investing in the characters like they're real horses."
Based on Michael Morpurgo's 1982 novel, the National Theatre of Great Britain's play has generated unbridled excitement since premiering in London in 2007. It opened on Broadway in 2011 and won five Tonys, including Best Play and a special award for Handspring Puppet Company.
The book also inspired Steven Spielberg's 2011 movie.
"War Horse" tells the tale of an English boy, Albert, and his beloved horse Joey. At the start of World War I, the two are separated when Joey is sent to be part of the cavalry. Although too young to enlist, Albert is determined to find his four-legged friend.
"It's a great story that we can all find ourselves in, a story of friendship. Many of us have had a pet or an animal that we've had a great affection for growing up and we'd do anything for that animal," Hoche said. "It's that great story of friendship and loyalty, and it's an emotional roller coaster of highs and lows and what we'll do to keep that friendship alive."
During a call from a tour stop in Louisville, Ky., Hoche said he saw the show, fell in love with it and auditioned. Luckily, the actor had puppetry skills in his stable.
"One of my favorite parts is when Joey is a foal at the beginning of the show, specifically because the three puppeteers that operate the puppet are all on the outside of the baby foal," he said. "We're showing the audience that yes, this is a puppet; yes, there are puppeteers here that are not dressed in black, they're dressed in period pieces; and we're not making excuses and we're not trying to ask for forgiveness or anything about it. We're just being very upfront: This show has puppets and they're very amazing.
"I think it gives the audience an opportunity to see and recognize it and then they kind of forget about it by the time they see Joey all grown up, which I think is one of the most exciting parts of the show when he officially grows up."
"War Horse" trots into Toledo for seven shows Dec. 4-8 at the Stranahan Theater. Tickets range from $33-$68.
"There's never been a show like this before where the lead of the show is not only an animal, but an animal that is in fact an animal — it doesn't sing or dance or talk, and it doesn't understand English or French or German. It's completely an animal," Hoche said. "And that's never been done before and it's really exciting, and the use of the puppetry complements that and also brings an organic feel to it."

Nice looking, it would be better if it were just a little taller and a little deeper.
You will need a power tool to screw in the many screws...otherwise, prepare to scrape your knuckles and apply a lot of pressure.
On the unit I got, one panel did not slide down all the way and therefore the top edge of that side was higher than the other three. I just put that one toward the back.

We purchased our raised bed planters last year and this is the second year growing food in them. Thought it was about time I did a review. Yes, we get compliments on how good they look, but the main thing for me is, our veggies grow well in them. My wife and I live in a mobile home community that (thankfully) allows veg. gardening in your yard... so long as you try to keep it tidy and attractive. The elevated grow beds are a great help in that respect.
Also, important to us is that the planters are just the right height to allow "stand up/no stoop" gardening. Very easy on the back.
Growing results: Currently, the 2x2 bed (see picture) is planted with one Patty Pan squash and one Crimson Sweet watermelon. In just 14 days the melon grew from the size of a small green olive to 5 inches in diameter. That growth rate, for something growing in a raised bed planter, is amazing to me.
Mulching: Our July/August temperatures reach the 90's and beyond. Therefore I apply a 2 inch layer of mulch to every bed. This slows down evaporation/water loss in the soil. Without mulching I'd have to water a lot more often than I do now, and the plants would probably suffer undue stress.
We applied a good deck stain to protect the outside of the grow beds. On the inside, I used a non-toxic sealer called "Soy Seal Wood Sealer & Waterproofer". You can find it on the internet. I have been quite satisfied with the product.
We also garden in 3 other Gardener's 2x8 raised beds with good results. That will be a separate review.
Best Uses
I needed something to go over my electric box by my pool. This raised bed was perfect, as it has the floor about 12 inches down, and then a few feet of clearance under that. I was able to set the bed over the electric box, and not only protect the electric, but beautify my pool area! So far the cedar is holding up well and my plants are happy.

- Patio Planting
Got 2 of these 18 months ago. Finally set up after my condo spent more than year redoing patio, and with it needed approval for any planters, and they needed to be movable.
I added casters--would be fantastic if these came with a caster option. I bought 12"x12" wooden planter bases with 4 casters each, 3 of these per planter, cut slices with two casters each and screwed them to the corners and middle of the planter. They roll (and rock).
The patio I have is blazing hot, and things dry out very fast. To keep more mass, I lowered the false bottoms in the planter. This is easy to do. Just remove screws in the steel slats holding the sides together where you want the bottom, and then screw the bottom supports in at that point, and use the removed screws in the holes that were originally intended for the bottom support. Everything is lined up so it works perfectly. I went down to the level just above the vents--about as much as you can do given the vents, but adds another 6 inches of soil depth or so.
It takes a lot of potting soil to fill these. Here's a hint, especially if you have lowered the bottoms. Rip up the cardboard box the planters came in, or other cardboard or newspapers you have around the house, and put them in the bottom, then fill with soil. Cardboard will compost over time, and probably settle a bit, and eventually you may need to add more soil, but it fills the space a bit, and better than adding to the landfill.
My condo assoc. was also freaked out about soil getting on the patio and clogging drainage. I got a roll of 36 inch wide landscape fabric-water goes through but soil doesn't, and stapled it across the bottom and up the sides.
Especially with the extra space, and needing to move these I worried about the weight. So I got bags of the usual potting soil, but went on-line and found large bags of vermicullite--I added 2 bags, 4 cubic ft each, to the potting soil. Found them for about $28 per bag.
I worried a bit about the fact that at 8 feet long, the 1 inch side boards might bulge out over time with weight of the soil. I screwed in some eyehooks in the middle of the top board on both sides and used plastic coated wire to tie them together to compensate for the force of the soil--do this ideally before you fill with soil.
I also mixed in a lot of the soil moist water granules that hold water, and organic fertilizer.
I'm ready to plant after 18 months of these sticking out from under my bed.
I'd like these to remain the bright cedar color. I saw the natural wood protector product in the catalog and was about to order it, but I read reviews and all talked about it immediately turning the wood a soft grey. That would be okay I guess, but I would really like a product that kept them with the new-wood look. Guess I will check out some of the oil finish products for wood patio furniture.
Now how many seasons of tomatoes will it take to "pay for" the cost of the planters, soil, ....I will have to be reimbursed with the pleasure of gardening, and these are a great way to do it if like me you are in a condo with only a small patio space.

Lucas County lauded as 'bright spot' in national juvenile justice reportWritten by Sanya Ali | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A national nonprofit focused on providing community-based alternatives for juvenile offenders recently highlighted Lucas County as one of its national "bright spots" for positive outcomes in a newly published report.
"Safely Home," a report from Youth Advocate Program (YAP), highlights a number of cities, counties, states and agencies in which YAP has a major impact. Among those spotlighted are Lucas County, which was lauded for creating a "continuum of community-based services for all kids," and Wayne County (Detroit), Michigan, which was praised for "black family development."
The image of young adults in handcuffs before a judge is one that youth advocacy groups across the nation, including YAP, hope to omit from city landscapes.
The Safely Home Campaign, which was initiated by Youth Advocate Program (YAP) and launched June 25, is a program that will work alongside advocacy groups toward this goal.
Jeff Fleischer, CEO of YAP, said in a news release that he hopes to change the lives of troubled youth.
"We can redirect the precious dollars we are currently spending on youth prisons and create real opportunity for all young people – and help these youth steer clear of crime, and successfully transition to adulthood," Fleischer said in a news release.
The number of minors committed to a juvenile facility in Lucas County has dropped from 300 in 1988 to just 17 so far this year since the end of May, according to the report.
Sherri Munn, director of Lucas County's advocacy center, said the fact that the area is featured in the campaign is amazing because of the long hours YAP has spent on community outreach since 1975.
"Our goal is, first and foremost, to make sure our kids are not being placed in institutions and being served safely and appropriately in our communities," Munn said.
Munn said Lucas County became a model because of the success of their community programs.
"There has been a lot of work that has been noticed nationally," Munn said. "Over time, there has been a lot of talk about this kind of work and how it can be put into a campaign format."
According to the report, this is expected to decrease even further as a direct result of Safely Home.
"I would say that we're always thinking about community safety as we take responds to working with our kids," Munn said. "We're focusing on meeting kids and families where they are."
The report goes on to state that eight of 10 youths were not arrested again and nine of 10 were at home after completing their YAP program. All these benefits come at a much lower cost to the state than trial and incarceration, Munn said.
"We look at the family as a whole unit and we're also working on ways to transition them out of community based programs what the will be doing after," she said.
The criteria for community-based programs under the Safely Home campaign includes no reject or eject policies, cultural competence and civic engagement, among others. Safely Home "promotes effective community-based alternatives rather than prison and out-of-home placements for youth," according to the release.
"Some programs have a certain time frame in which kids receive services," Munn said. "We want to maintain or retain them home we have to look at the community to be an active part in taking care of our kids."

CCCC Foundation kicks off annual fund drive
The Central Carolina Community College Foundation has kicked off its 2013 Annual Fund Drive, with a target of raising more than $200,000, primarily to provide scholarships for the college's students, and to help fund other specific needs of the curriculum and continuing education programs.
"For the 2012-13 school year, the Foundation has provided $175,000 in scholarships to 223 students who would otherwise have found it difficult or impossible to afford a college education," said Emily Hare, CCCC Foundation and Development director.
"We are so grateful for the community support we receive to help so many students gain their education."
One of those students is Stevie Messer, of Harnett County, an Industrial Systems Technology student. Messer's job of 19 years disappeared in the recession, so he came to CCCC to train for a new one. He received the Donald N. Buie Memorial Scholarship to help pay for his education and it's made a big difference.
"You don't know how much it touches people's lives when they receive a scholarship," he said. "This is not a city college, not a state college, not a federal college – it's a community college. With hard work, the graduates get out and give back to the community."
Another recipient is Megan Danner, of Lee County, who received the Sue Gibson Nursing Scholarship. Her goal is to be an emergency room nurse.
"The scholarship means everything," she said. "I couldn't have gotten to school without it, even though I'm also working."
As the college's enrollment grows, so does the impact CCCC has on the region. A large percentage of its graduates remain in the area after they leave the college. They contribute to their local economies in Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties.
CCCC students receive a quality education at a fraction of the cost of two years at a university, Hare said. Central Carolina's academic programs have an excellent reputation and its vocational and technical graduates are in high demand. Graduates who transfer to University of North Carolina institutions perform as well as or better than their peers who started at those universities.
In 2010, Washington Monthly magazine ranked CCCC among the top 50 community colleges in the nation. In 2012, CNNMoney ranked it second in North Carolina and 65th in the nation in helping students graduate or transfer. Also in 2012, the N.C. Community College System recognized it for Exceptional Institutional Performance.
The CCCC Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization affiliated with, but independent of, the college. It receives donations of money and equipment on behalf of the college. The Foundation uses them to assist students through scholarships and grants, provide funding for CCCC faculty members to obtain training to improve their effectiveness in the classroom, and sponsor enrichment workshops for middle school students. It also enables things to happen that would otherwise be impossible, such as buying bleachers for the gym.
"In countless ways, large and small, the Foundation advances the college's mission and its seven core values of Community, Diversity, Excellence, Innovation, Integrity, Student Centeredness, and Sustainability," said CCCC President Bud Marchant.
"Contributions to the Foundation are an investment in the region's economy and quality of life. They help today's students become tomorrow's leaders," Marchant said.
The Foundation's fund drive will continue through 2013. For more information on contributing to the Foundation, establishing endowments or for a copy of its annual report, contact Emily Hare at (919) 718-7230 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

One year ago, tomorrow, the world changed.
Our preconceived notions about what was possible were forever altered. Living the mountains, we might deal with flooding from time to time, maybe the occasional rockfall, forest fire or monstrous snowstorm, but that was about it. We certainly didn't have to worry about anything as exotic as tornadoes. Those were flatland phenomena.
The night of March 2, 2012, however, forever rid us of that folly.
We vividly remember being huddled in a basement, trying our best to stay on top of the latest information and pass it along to readers through our website, holding out hope that the power would remain on long enough for us to broadcast just a few more alerts, just in case they might save a life.
We cannot forget how stunned we were the next day, when we toured the devestation in Johnson and Magoffin counties. Just hours before, the piles of rubble we photographed had been homes and businesses, their occupants blissfully unaware of the line of destruction headed their way.
And we will probably never again fail to get goosebumps and a shot of adrenalin, each time we hear the tones of the Emergency Broadcast System.
For many, the night of tornadoes is now but a memory, albeit one that can flood the mind with fear and crystal-clear images of destruction at a moment's notice.
One year ago, tomorrow, the world changed … and yet, life goes on.

UFC Quick Quote: Vitor Belfort must win 'a couple more fights' to warrant Anderson Silva rematch - MMAmania.com
"I expected that question. I actually was emailing and texting with Dana White because I knew that question would come. The answer, and Joe Silva said something similar, was that no that Vitor Belfort is at Middleweight again -- and the way that he lost to Anderson Silva -- the thinking is that he needs to win a couple more fights at Middleweight [before he can get another shot] at the belt. But, this kind of win has put him right back in contention and you never know how things shake out in the UFC. He's done himself some justice."

Thought that was weird how they said there's no profit left for anybody else. Didn't blackberry just report 100 million profit on 3 billion in revenue. Since when is millions of dollars not worth mentioning lol. Damn, wish I had a company doing that well. In a growing market as long as your there making profit its safe to expect growth.
Does it matter if Samsung is gaining on Apple in mobile profit share? Nope - here's why!
According to research by Cannacord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley, as shared by Fortune, Apple still rakes in a whopping 57% of the profits in the mobile industry, while Samsung grabs the other 43%. Note that I said "mobile industry" not "smartphone industry". In case you're wondering why this adds up to 100% despite the presence of other players, it looks like the small profits from guys like BlackBerry and HTC are offset by losses from LG, Motorola, Nokia and others. The report also apparently goes into some detail on how Samsung should overtake Apple to be #1 in profitability. This is a red herring. It does not matter. And here's why...
According to Cannacord Genuity, Apple has 8% of the mobile market. Considering Apple is only involved in the smartphone market, and currently only offers 3 phones -- the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 4 -- I think this is an incredible result. And yes, Samsung has much more overall mobile share than Apple, but that's because they sell lots of feature phones, and because they offer a far wide range of Android phones than Apple does iPhones. Samsung ships a lot more phones than Apple and at the high end of the market, they both have great hardware with fairly high price points. Samsung should be able to make a lot of money. That Apple can make way more money than Samsung per phone is impressive.
Whenever I see studies like this it just makes me salivate as an Apple shareholder because a huge chunk of the market is currently NOT using smartphones, yet Apple already has 8% global share. What happens when the rest of the planet migrates over to smartphones? I'll tell you what. Apple will gain customers. They will probably lose share in the smartphone market because on the low end more people will buy Android But they'll still be gaining customers and therefore gaining market share in the only thing that actually matters here - mobile market share.
Remember, smartphone market share is irrelevant in the long term. All phones will be smart and the dumb phone industry will be gone.
The global adoption of smartphones is great for both companies. As an investor in the mobile market, and a shareholder in both companies, I see both Apple and Google as strong growth stories.

Does it matter if Samsung is gaining on Apple in mobile profit share? Nope - here's why!
"They will probably lose share in the smartphone market because on the low end more people will buy Android But they'll still be gaining customers and therefore gaining market share in the only thing that actually matters here - mobile market share."
Uhh, no. They would not be gaining market share. They would simply decreasing their loss of market share.
For example, let's say that Apple currently has 20% of the worldwide smartphone market, and Samsung has 40%. Just as hypothetical numbers, for the sake of discussion. Now, say 1 billion dumbphone users convert to smartphones. If they all buy Android phones, then Apple's market share drops to, say 15%. But, if some of those people buy iPhones, then Apple's market share still drops, just not all the way to 15%. Of course, if enough of those people buy iPhones, their market share would go up, but I agree with you that that is not going to happen. MOST of that next 3 billion smartphone users are going to be getting cheap Android phones.
My first smartphone is an iPhone 4 when it came out, I upgraded last year to Samsung s3 and I'm glad I did. I would never pay for another iphone. It's too expensive and does not lead the way anymore.
I prefer the openness of android it has much more functionality. Apple products are too locked off, if they truly want to compete then they need to follow suite and allow people to do what they want with their purchase.
Also, the Android phones are the ones that see more innovations and feature richness. I got a GS3 after its release and she waited for the iPhone 5. She's peeved now that she didn't get the GS3 instead because of what it can do and what it can do better, that the iPhone 5 can't. The antenna is a big one. Not only does the GS3 seem to get better reception (which pales in comparison to what a Motorola phone can do) but it also can run voice and data at the same time on either VZW's 3G and 4G networks with it's dual-antenna design (basically running voice over 1x with data over which ever is greater and available for 3G/4G).
cheap android phones? the top tier android phones are $600-700 per device. Unless you are talking about subsidies on contracts which you sign a 2 year agreement and basically pay a down payment of $2-300 for it and basically pay it off over 2 years. Even the Nexus phones through google play are $450 because they don't add on the carrier's cut to the phones. BTW Samsung makes the parts for iphones, so I guess iphones are cheap too, if you were referring to quality standards and not monetary standards on your definition of cheap.
I personally do not care who gets the lion's share of the profits. As long as my preferred maker (Apple) takes in enough money to invest healthily in R&D to make me better stuff, I am happy.
However, most Apple sites, including this one, have beaten the profit share drum for years. Virtually *every* mention of Android market share is met by the retort that profit share, not market share, is the metric that matters. Here, there is a separate tag for articles on profit share [ http://www.imore.com/tag/profit-share ]; a typical comment by an editor reads: "32.9% market share is cool. Know what's really cool? 50% profit share." [ http://www.imore.com/iphone-market-share-profit-share-2#comments ]. Over the past 5 years you can find several articles with the same basic thrust as this one, titled: "Reminder: Apple's All About Profit Share NOT Market Share" [ http://www.imore.com/reminder-apple-profit-share-market-share ]
I agree with your central premise that Apple should not worry about this, as there is plenty of profit to go around, and goodness knows Cupertino still sees a *ton* of it. However, the difference in messaging suggests profit share mattered when Apple is recognized as the undisputed king, but not so much when there is a suggestions of a challenger to that throne.
smartphone market share is irrelevant in the long term. All phones will be smart and the dumb phone industry will be gone. <- That's the stupidest sh1t I've ever heard. Dumbphone market share won't matter since it will be gone, but smartphone market share is booming, so that's the share you want!
I completely disagree with this article. Of course it matters. Samsung is coming out the gate with various innovative products every other week. The attention of the public will reflect this in due time. Step up, Apple or have a seat... lol
As far as innovations go...Apple is definitely at the bottom of that list. Samsungs motion features are by far more innovative than anything Apple has done in the past few years. Whether you find them "cool" or "useful" is up to you...but the implementation of those features are definitely innovative and fresh. Apple unfortunately has been the same ole same for the past 3 or 4 years. Not knocking the iPhone though. I love my iPhone 5 and my iPad. But to be completely honest...they're not doing anything new or fresh. They seem to be complacent in what they have. Lets see if this year brings any change.
"Whether you find them "cool" or "useful" is up to you..."
I think that's the thing. Apple only focuses on what's generally considered useful because if it's not useful, there is no purpose to have it taking up space.
I dunno. Ask the engineers, designers & critics what's so special about the iPad mini. btw I have a 2011 iPad and a mid-2012 Macbook Air
That is an exaggeration, but you get the point. It's more than just screen sizes- but for Apple it would be a great start.
Actually....that Apple makes more money than Samsung tells me they are charging way too much for their product. I LOVE my iPhone, don't get me wrong, but damn.....an additional $100 for doubling my storage from 16 to 32 and then 32 to 64?
"... they are charging way too much for their product."
That would be true if nobody was buying them up. But since people are buying these products up, they are not charging "way too much". Maybe they just charge more than YOU like. I personally don't care in this particular case. Flash storage is still pretty expensive, and what Apple utilizes is pretty damn good quality. I also don't mind supporting a company's healthy profit margins, as long as what I'm buying into isn't too over-the-top, like their RAM. I was able to get better performing RAM from OWC. I upgraded my MBP for $160 to 16GB from 4GB. Apple wanted somewhere around $300.
it do not matter who has the biggest market share, who makes the most money is the bottomline. iphone is selling more expensive than android so yeah they are going to make more money.
This article reeks of desperation and bias.
So does your reply.
Here's a little something to keep in mind. Samsung has a habit of including their tablets in with their Smartphone profits, inflating this number. Add iPad profits (which Apple tends to report with their computer sales) in with the iPhone figures, and you will have a much different story. It's one thing for companies to lead the discussion with their numbers. It's quite another for analysts to look the other way and not clarify what information they are using.
Ehh... so the - from LG and motorola should subtract only from the + of Blackberry and HTC? Why not subtract it from Samsung instead? Did I misunderstand something or is that a truly ***** way of misrepresenting numbers?
And why do I get the following: "This post has been automatically been marked as spam ... and include a copy of the comment"
when using words like **** and **** , quoting the original article
What on earth is that automatic spam-detection doing? C-mon!
The more I look at it the more baffled I am with the incredible lack of (something) the author of this article has in the act of addin ONLY the Apple and Samsung numbers to 100%.

May 13, 2011 -- Fibromyalgia affects relationships, parenting duties, and life decisions of people afflicted with the chronic pain disorder, a new survey finds.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread muscle tenderness and pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. The cause is unclear, but abnormalities in the way the body responds to and processes pain may play a role.
An online survey, completed by 2,559 people diagnosed with fibromyalgia and 459 people with undiagnosed chronic pain conditions, suggests chronic pain causes significant changes in the way people live their lives.
Among key findings:
"It took two long, painful years and countless doctor visits before I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but our survey respondents had an even lengthier process -- their average time to receive a diagnosis was three years," Lynne Matallana, MS, president and founder of the NFA, says in a news release.
She says her diagnosis has allowed her to work toward managing her pain more effectively, and that researchers hope that enhanced awareness and education will make it easier for people in the future.
Micke Brown, RN, of the American Pain Foundation, says in the news release that she has witnessed first-hand through her clinical work the impact that fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions have on everyday activities that others take for granted, "such as holding your child, walking your dog, or cooking a family meal."
Brown, past president for the American Society for Pain Management Nursing, says she believes a greater awareness of the problems caused by fibromyalgia "will empower others to advocate for their health, talk frankly with their health care providers, and speak out about their right to receive timely and appropriate pain care."
The survey was conducted by Synovate Healthcare in March 2011 and developed by the National Fibromyalgia Association, the American Pain Foundation, and Pfizer Inc. Most of the survey participants were female (91%) and the average age was 51.

Urology reviews in Tamarac
She's a very nice person. Its great. I was supposed to go follow up and I forgot about my appointment. I had to go back and see her. She has a nice and beautiful personality. Its a nice and large office, with equipment and everything. I didn't have to wait too long. The staff is great. I don't have any bills because I belong to an HMO."
On my only office appointment I was unable to actually meet with Dr. It was very clear he had was not prepared. He went ahead with the operation but did not perform the procedure I was expecting. I would not recommend Dr.
He's very well skilled. He's helped me so I consider him to be excellent. I never had a problem with availability. Billing is normal and the staff is wonderful. Its a great office, very nice office. I'll see him next November."
They were very good and very professional. The staff is also good. The office was nice, the staff was professional and the nurses were very friendly and helpful."
He's excellent. He's extremely confident -- not only as a surgeon but as a physician. He's an excellent urologist. He's the reason I'm still alive today. He has followed up with me ever since I was first diagnosed with cancer. I think the world of him! I typically wait 10 minutes to be seen when I arrive."
Dr. Rastinehad followed up with me routinely on the phone to verify that the treatment was being effective. He communicated all the details with me very clearly. I was very pleased with Dr. Rastinehad.
Dr. helpful. You can even talk to one of her nurses. She's just a very likeable doctor. All of it is fine. Its great."

According to search warrants and other court documents, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office has entered approximately 40 pieces of evidence in the investigation that led to a Woodlawn man being charged with first-degree murder in the Feb. 8 shooting death of Delphie Wiley.
Jesse James Owens, 30, of Woodlawn, has been charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of ammunition by a convicted felon in Wiley's death.
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office began searching for an unidentified person after receiving a call of a possible shooting Feb. 8 at 90 Boot Jack Drive. Willey was reported missing the next day when she did not show up for her shift at Burger King in Hillsville. Willey's body was found a little before 7 p.m. on Feb. 9 by a person walking on Holly Ridge Road in Cana. Owens was arrested and charged with the two firearm offenses the night of Feb. 8. He was later charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of murder.
According to Carroll County court records, Deputy Barry Lineberry of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office responded to call Feb. 8 of a possible homicide that had been called in by a witness in the area of Boot Jack Drive in Woodlawn.
"Deputy Lineberry was able to locate a blood drag trail from a driveway that leads to and upon an open front porch of a blue and white mobile home, which is a singlewide," the court records show. "The blood drag trail leads through the open front door of the white and blue singlewide trailer into the open room and then leading into a puddle of blood."
Evidence collected from Owens' residence of 90 Boot Jack Drive are listed as a shoe cast, a tire cast, swabs taken for DNA testing from the driveway, a front porch wooden bench and the living room vinyl floor, a .22 caliber round, two shell casings from the outside porch, two white socks, a mop beside a gun cabinet, boots, shell casings from the bathroom, a "blood or red dirt sample" in the driveway, a board from the front porch, vinyl flooring in the living room, a .22 rifle in the gun cabinet "Marlin Model 60," rounds in the rifle from the gun cabinet, swabs taken for DNA testing from the living room and kitchen light switches, five beer cans from the living room, a shell casing from a small window between the kitchen and living room, a hair brush, glasses from the table in the living room, and another shell casing close to the house.
Another search warrant for 209 Virginia Street in Hillsville, where Owens was located after the report of the possible homicide, shows investigators requested permission to search for "any evidence to include DNA, personal effects related to the possible homicide on Bootjack Drive, blood, hair, fiber, trace evidence and weapons that could have been used in the possible commission of the alleged homicide."
Another search warrant shows Carroll authorities asked for permission to search a gray Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with a white-colored camper shell located on Virginia Street that night. The truck also had deer antlers tied to the front grill area.
Items Carroll law enforcement officials collected from the truck included a Natural Light beer can from the driver's side floorboard, a black ball cap, two boots sized 10.5 in the seat, a black glove, a camo glove, a black handled knife, a red substance, a black coat on the bed next to the tailgate, swabs from the steering wheel, tailgate, bed of the truck, control of steering wheel, control of tailgate, and a wooden stick in the bed of the truck.
Another search warrant was entered to search Owens at New River Valley Regional Jail in Dublin to take DNA samples via buccal swap.
Owens is scheduled to appear in Carroll County General District Court on March 22 on all four charges. According to court records, defense attorney Jonathan Venzie will represent Owens, who is in custody at New River Valley Regional Jail.

Hi!!! I just found this site and it has been really helpful. My son, Nicholas was born at 31 weeks by an emergency c-section due to severe pre-e and placental abruption. He was only 2 lbs 1 ounce when he was born, yesterday he weighed in at 3 lbs 10 ounces. He is still in the NICU but he is doing really well. Breathing on his own and taking all of his feeds by bottle. It looks like his next big hurtle will be to keep his own temp. The nurses say he might be home in a few weeks. I am very excited and very nervous, too!![:D]The hospital gave me this little story about having a premie and it really helped me put things in perspective. As scary as it is at times, We are living with amazing little miracles.
Welcome to Holland
When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip -- to Italy. You buy a bunch of guidebooks and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says "Welcome to Holland."
"Holland?!?," you say, "What do you mean, Holland? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."
But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy plae of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.
So you must go out and buy new guidebooks. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It's just a differenct place. It's slower paced than Italy, less flasshy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you cantch your breath, you look around and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills; Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life you will say, "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever go away because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss.
But if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things about Holland.

I think my experience of this blush is the same as others. The colour is gorgeous but the payoff, not so much. Like Benefit's Coralista, Nars' Orgasm blush is just a bit too glittery to wear every day and it is really sheer, so the more you add to get colour, the more glitter you add to your cheeks. Still, it's a high quality product and I can see why its so popular.
When I first applied this blush I understood my everyone wanted/loved it. On my olive skin it made my look like a tropical goddess. Unfortunately, the higher shimmer content keeps me from wearing it very often during the day. But it is a beautiful color.

Some people love it, some people don't. I think it has a beautiful sheen to the cheeks, but some people think it is to shimmery . It can be light on darker skin tones, and some people with fair/light skin and/or people with red undertones, think this blush is too red. I have a light skin myself, but i have found a way to work with this blush, it is very buildable, so when i just put it on the cheeks lightly, it will have just the perfect sheen with a little bit of coral/pink color to it. So now i just really like it, it is a healthy looking color on the skin, and i just really love the glow!
Orgasm is described as a "peachy pink with golden shimmer." It's a warm, medium pink with a stong golden shimmer-sheen. Too Faced Peachy Keen (LE) is similar. Guerlain Blush G (LE, $65.00) is also similar. Milani Dolce Pink (P, $6.49) is very similar. Guerlain Peach Boy #2 (P) is slightly less pink. Benefit Sugarbomb (P, $28.00) is softer. See comparison swatches.

COLUMBIA CITY 'ÄĒ 'ÄúIn summary, you are a despicable human being, and there is nothing good to say about you.'ÄĚ
Following these words, Whitley County Circuit Court Judge James Heuer sentenced Dean Pressler Monday to 60 years in the Indiana Department of Corrections for child molesting, sexual misconduct with a minor and child seduction.
He was given a three-year sentence for child seduction, which will be served concurrently with a 15-year sentence for sexual misconduct with a minor. That sentence though will be served consecutively with the child molesting charge, for which 45 years were given by Judge Heuer.
At the sentencing hearing, testimony was given by the victim in the case, who just turned 18 years of age. She said Pressler's crimes against her were damaging and she hoped he received as weighty of a sentence as possible.
'ÄúIt was very traumatizing, actually,'ÄĚ she said. 'ÄúI think he should get the full amount (of sentence) so he could never do this to a child. He should not have the chance to do this to another person.'ÄĚ
When the victim was approximately 12 years old, she and her mother came to live with Pressler. Pressler had been dating the mother, and when utilities were shut off at the victim's home, both moved in with Pressler.
Not long after that, approximately two weeks according to the victim, her mother left her alone in Pressler's custody. After being left in the care of Pressler, he began sexually assaulting her.
The victim lived with Pressler for approximately five years and had two children with him during that time. One daughter is just more than three years of age, and the other is approximately one year old.
When questioned by Whitley County Prosecutor Matt Rentschler, the victim said she is trying to get past this incident in her life.

Gilbert Melendez:
I am coming to take that belt. Im not defending my belt anymore and Im coming to take his. Im coming with bad intentions and Im not counting on squeaking anything out on the scorecards, said in an interview with the UFCs website. People are going to see a focused Gilbert Melendez, ready to put it all on the line to get that title. Im ready to entertain and Im coming to win. Im coming to get that belt.
Of course, he also understands beating Bendo is no easy feat. Henderson is 18-2 with sixteen wins in his last seventeen fights including five in a row.
Benson is a total athlete. He has a lot of strengths and very few weaknesses, if any, admitted Melendez. One thing I do see in him as a big strength is that he is very mentally strong. That is one thing I see in him that I dont see in every fighter. He is very focused and keeps his game face on at all times. He gets dropped in fights but he recovers quickly and keeps the same face on.
There is no look of desperation and he maintains his composure, Melendez continued. I think it is going to be a tough mental battle for both of us. We are going to push each other hard and it is going to be just as much of a mental battle as it is a physical one.

A doctor who took part in choirmaster Gareth Malone's forthcoming TV show has denounced the production as 'dishonest'.
Edmund Chaloner, a consultant vascular surgeon at Lewisham Hospital in south-east London added that the filming of the show, called 'Sing While You Work', was 'a pain in the a**e'.
The new show finds Malone assembling choirs from four different workplaces to compete with each other, including one from Lewisham Hospital and others from Manchester Airport, the Royal Mail in Bristol and Severn Trent Water.
"The programme makers knew exactly how they were going to play this. They'd put different people in different stereotypes in order to display how we all come together in an example of wonderful musicianship," said Chaloner.
"They would play on me being a surgeon, pretending that I'm some sort of Lancelot Spratt-type character [the posh, gruff surgeon from the film 'Doctor In The House']. I think it's dishonest, actually. It will purport to show reality but it's not reality at all, I'm afraid.
"I found the whole TV thing a nuisance and if I was asked to do it again, in retrospect I would refuse because of that - not because of the music. As it happened, that was sensational."
A spokesperson for Twenty Twenty Productions, who made the show, said: "It is not uncommon for contributors to feel worried about the way they come across on screen before a programme transmits." [Radio Times/The Independent]
Also in today's press
'Yes, Prime Minister' is to return to screens. Actor David Haig will play prime minister Jim Hacker, reprising his role from the stage version he starred in, alongside Henry Goodman and Chris Larkin. It will air on Gold. [The Sun]
Tom Jones says that all four judges from 'The Voice' will be returning to the show for the next series. "We're trying to get it all sorted out, as long as the other coaches are there and we have the same team, then it looks like it will happen," he said. [Absolute Radio]
Cheryl Cole says she is returning to 'The X Factor' for Gary Barlow, not Simon Cowell, after Cowell tweeted to welcome her back to the show." I saw Simon's tweet," she said. "I'm not doing this for him. I am doing this for Gary as he's my friend and he asked me to do it." Cheryl will help Barlow choose his final contestants. [Daily Mail]
