What do you think about the new look for iOS 7? [Poll]
The iOS 7 announcement at WWDC 2013 left us with a lot to talk about, but the most immediately noticeable difference is the appearance. Since Jony Ive took charge of the design, we had heard countless rumors about all the skeuomorphic elements being stripped out leaving us with a much simpler, flatter design. And that's pretty much what we got -- though if you look carefully at the press shots of Notes and Reminders, there's still a hint of paper in there. It's different, a whole lot different, but we want to know what you think of it.
The green felt has gone, the stitched leather has gone, the icons have been dramatically changed. iOS 7 is bright, colorful in places but reserved and simple in others. Billed as the biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the iPhone, there is no doubt that visually at least, those words are correct. But we want to hear your thoughts on it. Is it too flat? Too bright? Do you love it, hate it, or fall somewhere in between? Drop your vote in the poll up top and leave us your thoughts in the comments below.

What do you think about the new look for iOS 7? [Poll]
How about I like parts of it?

Same happens to me. I love everything except the new home screen look. Why does it have to look so similar to Nokia's Series 40?
As someone who has been using ios7 I can honestly say the UI is a HUGE step backwards for Apple. My iphone I enjoyed and could see easily outside in the daylight is ruined. The UI is extremely to bright and boring, it resembles Windows 3! It's terrible and ugly, this is not a step forward at all. If I'm forced to update to this ios I will sell my iPhone, even after being a user since the first release I'll be gone.
imo the ios interface has gone from iconic to icon-ick . . but I'm sure millions of others will love it, and that's what they need to go with. But I think its unfortunate that iphones have this often cited stereotype (which I hate/loathe/disagree with btw) that they are toys for women and teenagers, and since the new icons seem kinda juvenile, petite, and feminine it would only seem to perpetuate the stereotype. But I love the new functionalities, and I guess I've got till the fall to get used to the new iconography.
Likewise I am really disappointed to see that Ives is connected to this in any way, I had so much respect for him as a designer before this. I dont know how apple could allow this painfully ugly regression of design to happen. Im so shocked that It has been well received by anyone let alone more than half polled. Now Im stuck at itunes 10.6, Snow leopard and IOS 6.1.2. These will be my last ever updates and to me the death of a legendary company. "everything that is popular is wrong" Oscar Wilde
Yeah, I was actually just thinking that a minute ago...
I think I'm just a bit angry because Im really not liking anything apple have put out software wise recently. I know its not like everyone isn't trying their best to make the best software and UI but nothing about it really feels like apple to me, The frosted glass stuff reminds me of vista. In my opinion Ives has designed some of the best looking products of our time but UI design quite different from hardware design. Maybe he is just some kind of design god who can transcend disciplines, I'm ok with thinking he is. I just really don't know how anyone could learn the dense amount of knowledge of the apple spec stuff, UI design principles along side all the amazing technical drawing and auto cad etc of hardware design. Im happy to be wrong about this and will hail Apple geniuses again when I see something I recognise.
If Apple gave me a tick-box opt-out regarding aesthetic changes in updates then Im sure I wouldn't really care about these updates at all.
I couldn't agree more. The icons before were visually stunning, now they look like my two year old drew them. I keep saying that the only thing that the OS needed was functionality and customization, with those two things users could have modified the OS themselves to their liking instead of being stuck with what apple has given us.
I completely agree. My whole issue with iOS has been the complete lack of customization. I admit I switched from iOS because I couldn't customize the phone an went to Samsung, and I hated the look Samsung had, but at least I had the option to completely change it. I would love to come back to iPhone, but after this I might stay with my Samsung. I do have the iPad an iPod, but I may push back upgrading them if Apple sticks with this look.
I love the transparency effects, and am glad they applied them to stuff like the keyboard. But I HATE that everything has gone bubblegum and white. It's either neon rainbow colors or bright white, which is annoying as hell anywhere but bright lighting. You end up having to turn down the brightness that much more which makes it look faded and crappy. And the inverse color mode doesn't just effect general UI it effects everything including movies and such, which makes it less than useless. And what's with the pink controls in the music app? I think overall iOS 7 looks nice, but it's very childish and girly at the same time. Not something i'm going to be happy being stuck with. I wish apple would just allow SOME customization. I understand not wanting crappy lazy designers making everyones phones ugly, but allow different color schemes or something. come on apple.
Exactly, it's hard to even tell what is and isn't a button now, looks like Jony Ive designed it while on acid as he watched Charlie the Unicorn. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 1, there isn't anything good about them, it's a disaster, probably the biggest design **** up Apple has ever made.
Apple has always been about class, about usability, about understated elegant design, this is the complete opposite, it's loud, childish, gaudy, and amateurish.
I don't like to second guess Steve Jobs, but I really doubt he'd have let this garbage out of the lab. Apple has a few months now to fix it before public release, or I see them running off a lot of people who will switch to Android, or pretty much anything else, since every other OS looks worlds better than this horrible crap.
It was exactly things like the realism that first attracted me to the iPhone, the textures, the 3D like nature to the OS, sure it needed improvements, however this is a monumental step backwards, not the improvement people were looking for. Most would have been happy with some minor tweaks here and there, it's features we wanted, not unicorn lipstick.
Also, lots of older people use iPhones due to their ease of use, I don't see many older people wanting to use an OS that looks like their grandchildren designed it with crayons. The super skinny font is nearly impossible to read in many areas, and the buttons and realism that made the OS fluid and simple have been replaced with illegible text, and confusing easter confetti.
Such a shame they didn't aim to make it more modern and classy, like Jaku (which is a beautiful theme available for jailbroken iPhones for those that do not know).
I will not use iOS 7 until it's jailbroken, and if it can't be then I will buy an HTC, I don't wear kids clothes, play with toys, I do not want my phone looking like a Fisher Price toy phone either..
Could not have said it better myself!
Those new icons - it's like a rainbow exploded on the home screen, not a fan of the new colour palette OR artwork. And I just don't understand how some of those design changes are supposed to be improvements - the new icons represent photos, or games, really? I'll be suprised if I don't click the Safari icon expecting the compass app to open. I guess I think the new icons look like something designed for elementary school kids; or maybe like they're unfinished.
Gonna be honest about iOS 7...I don't like the childish/cheapness Samsung look to it.... Kinda reminds me of windows 8 look/feel but with white backgrounds instead of black themes
It looks way classier in the previous OS. But god knows the old OS was aging and needed something... But the icons make it look like a Samsung phone. Slightly impressed but at the same time... Not impressed that they went to that look. It's gonna get trolled later for looking cheap, cartoony, and childish
The OS operates marvelously but could have maintained the classy look and professional style of the old OS. They could have added all the new movements and APIs to the old theme.
Either way you look at it... It's a win... But it is what it is. I give it an 8.0 and it truly satisfies. Great improvement was delivered
As for osx, I am a monster fan of for sure. Nothing come close to it. Window management could be a bit better. But still it's great.
Love the typography inside individual apps, though worry about eyestrain with the constant thin-black-on-all-white look.
Mildly dislike the color scheme.
Hate the icons.
Think the translucency is overdone, and is absolutely harmful in some cases. (Anybody who says they can easily read the song and artist in the frosted glass Control Center overlay is either part eagle, or lying.)
Summaries from designer types who have similar opinions, but speak more intelligently (if harshly, in some cases) on it:
Think the minimalist changes some widgets hurt usability. For example, there is no slider anymore, so the text "slide to unlock" is a misnomer; it is more a swipe than a slide. Worse, it takes a horizontal swipe to unlock, but the "slide" text is positioned above a vertically oriented arrow. This is going to be a common frustration for new users:
It is hard to believe a company renowned for usability would make put forth these sorts of things as "fully thought out" design elements.
I for one love it looks way more modern happy times

There is a big difference between being a hardware designing and being a graphic interface designer. This is showing that he is not so skilled in the latter. This will isolate users. I don't see grandma and grandpa using something that looks like it came out of a Disco. Things are hard to see. I liked the warm textures and 3D icons and elements. I hate google mail because they employ similar designs. Bleck. I won't be upgrading
The revised UI really is too "thin". After spending a day with iOS7, I can say I love the new functionality, but the dark on light theme really is killing my eyes. If there was a "dark" theme like in WP, it wouldn't be as bad. That said, it does feel like a different OS, needing a learning curve to figure out how to do familiar tasks. Can't say the visual changes add or detract from the whole until I get back up to speed. I do know that morning use is much more friendly compared to end-of-day shocking contrast.
well SockRolid, we were asked how we thought it looked, not how well it functioned, thats why we can comment without using it . . . don't people read for comprehension anymore?
In case you missed it, the title of this blog post is "what do you think about the new LOOK for ios 7" . . . got it now ?
I'm not a fan of skeumorphism, but iOS 7 looks childish, non professional, and just totally ugly.
The more I look at it, the more I hate that new look. I'm so disappointed.
All these pastel colors, these ludicrous icons with gradients and awkward proportions, they all point me to one thought: Sir Jony Ive is a marvelous designer, but like many artists who mastered light and contrasts, he just does a terrible job with colors. I know that cause at some point I did decent illustrations myself, with pencil or ink, but when it came to coloring, I just needed help like many others do.
Anyway, if only Apple would admit they need a bigger screen iPhone, I could deal with that crappy new iOS, but I'm pretty pessimistic about that and for now the only thing that retains me is the ecosystem, which is shared by my whole family and jumping to Android would cut me from them.

New look is terrible. Jonathan Ive done very bad job designing new icons (to much colorfull and flat like children pain, old icons was a lot better like settings, safari, music ..... ), control center (this function is good but design is very bad), phone app. I hope this is a early beta and everything will change. But if not I will not upgrade to ios7.
Disappointed Apple user.

Really??? What happened to you Apple? These are the same reasons I tossed my iPhone in the trash a year ago and converted to android and can honestly say I have never looked back. I liked my old Windows phone more than I did my iPhone. What a sad day for all of those apple fans. Say what you want but you are lying to yourself if you say you are not disappointed with the new ios7.
BS. Change is good, change for the sake of change is stupid, iOS needed many updates, but I don't think anyone was asking for it to look like it was designed by a bunch of children with pastel crayons. There's good reason so many people think it looks like crap, because it does, it doesn't make anyone a "hater", some of us know good design when we see it. This is not good design, this is utter garbage. I want to see Apple continue to succeed, i want to see them kick the competitions ass, I don't want to see them fail, and I don't want to look at this Unicorn shit on my phone.
As a comparison to my answer i gave yesterday which was not a negative on IOS 7 was not fully convinced that I would like the UI and that was my real only drawback and reservation. The more I read about and give it some further thought not to mention the features, I have come to realize that when i look at all of the components I am beginning to have a turn around in opinion. I believe that the more I settle in to learning about all of the components together I trust by the time it hits for public download I will warm up to it just fine. Let the new IOS roll.
Apple hater? I gave Apple a chance. I bought my iPhone with the expectation that it would be a good phone but within 3 months, I was over it. But in all fairness, I'm in I.T. and I like to be in control of whatever device I am using. With Apple locking down everything, I was immediately turned off by what it had to offer. Not to mention the tiny screen size. Sure it "felt" like a nice phone but the internals didn't match the outside. So I gave android a chance by accident. Wow, what a great user experience that I can fully control, personalize and customize to MY liking, not apple's or some other manufacturer.
I like it when companies like Apple and Samsung compete because we all benefit, but damn, Apple's new iOS7 isn't even in the same league as Android 4.2 or 4.1 for that matter. Well, except for all the new features they stole from Android which is kind of flattering yet very frustrating. Unless you have owned a galaxy s3 or s4, then really your opinion is pointless because you can't say you've used both products and can offer a fair review.
So I'm not the apple-hater, I think you're the apple fan boy. Btw, I hope the new pastel colors on your new home screen match the rainbow sticker on the back of your car because you can't change it. :)
Dude seriously? Are you now saying that anyone who likes the OS has to be gay?! As if a sexual preference has anything to do with color preference or, if it did, there is anything wrong with that? Unless you're in junior high school, leave the anti-anything remarks at home. This is a forum for adults.
Wow, for an "I.T." person your love an operating system that lacks security, stability, and is fragmented I hope you are not in "I.T." I am involved with using tech. Also, the real theft is not from Android but WebOS which iOS and Android own much to.
It's no different than these writers claiming that iPhones are becoming more geared or desired by women, young children and the elderly. If you haven't read that on any blogs or news site then you have your head stuck up your a$$. I have a lot of gay friends who I would make that comment to, only difference is that they aren't so uptight and can take a joke. But we're getting off topic here. All I am saying is that Apple is loosing it's innovation, the new iOS7 looks horrible and isn't impressive at all. The few new features were copied from Android and Windows Phone. And if history repeats itself, which it does, iPhone users will start to get tired of Apple's closed OS and they're control over how the phone YOU bought with you're hard earned money should look, feel and operate. They don't even let you change the battery or add a micro sdcard for extra storage. You have to pay $100 upcharge just to get a few extra gigs of storage. Don't you guys see how this great company you call Apple operates. It's like they are the tech nazi's and people just do as they say. And then they try to sue everyone for copying when just the other day samsung beat them in court banning the sell of some of their older products. Sure it won't hurt them financially but what a slap in the face!! I guess I'm vocal about it because there are so many uneducated people out there that don't see what they're doing and can't see the direction they are going. They just buy their iPhones because it's the "cool" thing to have, it's simple to use and requires very little tech skills to operate.
Chris you are spot on with your comments. I have always been an apple fan boy myself. Owned every piece of hardware Apple has produced. Lately, I am starting to see the scam Apple has now been pulling. Every thing they introduce is 'revolutionary' or a 'new beginning'. Total crap.
They know already that they have done whatever they possibly could have on their own with their OS. So they have no other way but to start copying innovations others are putting out there. Such as Swipe multitasking screens from Blackberry OS 10.1 and Weather Animations from Android. They are calling it a new beginning which is utterly sad.
I own a work iphone 5 and Blackberry Z10. My wife carries a Samsung Galaxy S4. So we are exposed to all three and let me tell you, iPhone is the least touched now. Its an excellent piece of hardware, but there is nothing more happening for the OS beyond that.
@Chris........IPhones have never had a removable battery nor a memory card slot to expand memory. Nothing new here and has been the same since 2007.
With the battery life that it is, I find bsolutely no need to have a removable battery....one less item to keep track of. And I sure don't need more than 32 gigs of memory.
And the fact that the iPhone is easy to use? Yes it is, and is the reason for its mass appeal. Why would I want a complicated phone? Remember, IT'S A FREAKIN PHONE! You know, to make calls, check the web, send some texts, take some vids and pics, watch some porn, etc.
And lastly, you need to check your history.......everyone in tech is suing each other, and has been this way now for years. Apple did not create the copyright infringement lawsuit.
90+% of people buying smart phones are not tech savvy. They buy what their friends have, what the techie they know tells them, or the salesman at the store tells them because of the spiff they are earning to push a particular unit. Apple makes tech for the non-techie and dose it as good if not better than anyone. People liked the closed system, they don't have to learn or program. They are happy to change their wallpaper and their notification tones. For those that want change, they jailbreak. Look at iOS, WP and the skins of most Android phones, easy and simple. That is what 90+% of the people want, for those that don't there is Android.
I'll reserve final judgment for the final release. In the past I always felt like the betas were essentially complete on the design side of things and the beta process was for fishing out the functional bugs. I hope this time that the design will also evolve with feedback in addition to the normal bugs and also that we have not seen all the new features to be included. (I'm still hoping that replying to a message can be done from the notification center before all is said and done.) I think the native app icons could still use some refinement. I think the added functionality already announced will be enough to push me over the edge to upgrade to 7, but I do hope that the design aspects (especially the icons) receive a little attention/refinement before it's released. Overall I'm not opposed to the new design, but some things just look less perfected than what we've come to expect from Apple. It needs some significant tweaking to make it look more polished and somewhat professional. (I do think I'll miss the linen backgrounds; I didn't think they were bad, but I do see how it doesn't quite fit with the direction they took things.)
Well, I think the Pre had a better color palette.
Unfortunately it is what people do. Everyone has an "opinion" and plenty of rudess which shows the sorry state of their inner nature. Don't sweat it.

From what I've seen/read/reviewed, the iOS7 "borrows" quite a bit from BB10. If you also consider that Apple has now secured app development just as Blackberry, you're left with an iPhone that does what a Blackberry does and has the security of a Blackberry. They say that copying is the sincerest form of flattery, in this case I'm sure that the people @ Blackberry are not feeling "flattered." So, this is more of a "knock out blow" for Blackberry. "The King is dead, long live the King" seems appropriate - the "torch" has now been effectively passed from Blackberry to Apple.
I did not like it.
I skipped the original Android on Tmobile because (aside from the chin on the phone) i didn't like Android's flat ugly icons. I bought a palm pre specifically because it had shine, gloss, and sheen just like apple's look. I ended up hating Webos. Android did get a bit glossier icons and stuff. That said i wanted an iphone for games, ipod, and the looks. I hated windows, text based zune interface, i hated the flat colored tiles of windows. I dislike it so much that after 13 years of being on windows i'm going back to Apple. So when i saw the extreme flat windowsish, androidish looked i didn't like it. It's not my cup of tea.
I don't mind borrowing from competitors. But my gut says Steve Jobs NEVER would have like this design look. Parts of it are ok but it looks to white to me.
my one fear as that they ruin the music player. I love my ipod, i've had plenty. I've got ahuge music library. I have a 64 gb iphone, the sucky pre music player was a huge reason i left, and i've got about 135 gbs of music, it's hip-hop, jazz, r&b, blues, rock, pop. And most in albums, but i do have tons of singles. I play music daily. much more than i do anything. I even have a car cradle and my car wired to use the ipod on the phone. So i pray they don't screw up the organization.
For example, my music is organized by genre. And there's literally hundreds of albums in some genre's and 5 to 10 thousand songs. With my old pre, you'd pick genre, and it would give you a list of songs: 10k hiphop songs alphabetically. unusable, unscrollable. What i love about my iphone is you pick hiphop it goes, to the artist, then the album, the a small list of songs on that album. much better organization. Plus i have a good idea of what song is on what album, but i'm old enough to have bought records and cds. i listened to full albums so i've no clue what some song names are just the albums they are on. like i listened to Kendrick Lamar, i know like 3 song names, but i know the whole album cause i listened to it as an album, front to back. So if i want to find a specific song in a list of 10k and it's not one of the 3 i know by name i'll never find it. so i hope they keep it organized well. Then i can deal with aestetic changes.
Was hoping WWDC would be the jumping point back to iOS, but not impressed with iOS 7 design and no new hardware means a decent screen and functionality still lags behind Samsung. Maybe 2015?
Awesome! I love it. It's different

I know this is way out there, but maybe since people hate change apple is throwing out an outlandish design so they can dial it back somewhat for final release so that the response is "whew, that's better" rather than "ugh, I don't like the new icons"?
I can't imagine them doing this, but I also can't believe this new design came from sir jony . . seems like they've moved from iconic to icon-ick.
New to iPhone 5, not sure about the change in icons, kind of liked the look on the phone now. Just watched a video from a dev download of IOS 7, it was leggy, I'm sure it was due to it being dev only version. Like the quick settings from flicking up from bottom. I'm still hoping on a new swipe keyboard, being a long time Android hacker it is a must. Bing just totally sucks, no reason to settle for 2nd best, that isn't looking out for the IOS user, Bing is the worst, hope there is a choice. Apple seems to do things to try to hurt Google when in reality it just hurts IOS. Hoping for a file management system so iTunes isn't a must for everything you do. Hoping for the best and one final point, hoping Apple can loosen up on all its tite ass restrictions, there are so many possibilities.
Thanks, Vinny

They've surely made one helluva ugly duckling of a home screen !
That's the problem with too much intellectualism within the creative domain.
Bottom line - iPhone 5 design is outdated.
You only need to walk down the isle of new breed of phones to realize how outdated the whole OS / Hardware marriage really looks like.
Double click what ? ESP when the home button responds like a petulant child after few months of use.
I'd rather have a dedicated multitasking app icon to manage background apps... That's a whole new conversation.
Sorry but not impressed mr Ivey.

I upgraded my iPhone on Monday, and overall am very happy with iOS 7. I agree that the colors are too bright, and hope that a BW option will be available in settings before it goes gold. The important things like Control Center, Daily view while locked, security features preventing activation or wipe without iCloud password, pages within folders so I don't need multiple games and productivity folders, and losing the cheesy skew-morphic crap that plagued the platform far outweigh my hatred of the color palate. I even like the simpler icons, although they take a little getting used to.
Once they get a more reasonable color palate I think a lot of the bitching will go away. Until then, developers have tons of great new APIs to integrate, and Apple has a ton of buzz about the redesign.
Liking the feature set offered but have some BIG reservations that will probably have me not upgrading to iOS7
First: I really don't like the new Icons at all. They take a phone designed for adults and make it look like a "Fisher Price" toy. In fact my 6yr old has a V-Tech Innotab and the whole look of iOS7 could have been taken from their "learning lodge navigator" software for kids. I keep expecting a rainbow and a fluffy unicorn to feature in the screen somewhere. Sorry guys but the new icons are a massive fail for me and are a deal breaker that will stop me upgrading
Secondly: Since Steve sadly passed away, all of the Apple hardware "developments" have me completely underwhelmed. In fact not a single new release has ever enthralled me enough to change up from a standard iPhone 4. But I'm willing to place money down that iOS7 will make my currently spritely phone run like a bag of spanners. Especially with the parallax running all the time. Perhaps that's the point perhaps maybe Apple needs us to upgrade our phones by forcing them to become sluggish.
Seems that post Steve Apple has lost it's way and sorry Mr Ives I just don't believe the hype and rhetoric in the very softly spoken patronising speech. I'm 40 not 4 and I hate your kindergarden style icons
The thing that bothers me most is that the look does not reflect the look and feel of the iPhone. Since the iPhone 4 they tried to achieve a sleek, proffesional look and now have lost it completely. The contrast of the display with my black iPhone will be quite ridiculous.
Its terrible. I hate it! Yall should make an option when you update it if you want the new look or the old one. Te bew one if aweful and i know alot of people who are going to be forced to update to the new one so they can get apps they want, So please, im begging you, to please use my idea.
Am i the only one who notices that 90% of the comments are talking about how much we hate it then you look at the pole and its saying people love it i think somethings wrong with this picture.
If this is the best Jony Ive can do i say fire him and hire someone else even a 3rd grader can do better on the apps. I have used it and they suck way to bright and for what ? A slicker notification screen and radio. I will stick to IOS 6 on my iPhone 5 and will not upgrade until they fix the crap icons and whole theme. Why cant they give us customization on the setting to change the screen the way we like it ?. Really
Bottomline: Childish Icons, No Active Background, No Active Icons, Battery will drain Faster due to the bright screen. Microsoft was more creeative for the first time.
This is garbage. Who ever likes this abomination of girly pastels and fluorescents is gay, and any graphic designer that thinks this is balanced, consistent and fits the Apple user base as a whole needs to go back to school or move to a different profession. I'm afraid for anyone to walk by me and see my screen if I'm using my phone. iOS7's design was a big win for Android that's for sure because if I was using Android I'd be making fun of this crap as well. I really wish I hadn't downgraded from iOS6 because I'm guessing it isn't possible to upgrade back to it. Either they fix this crap and start really innovating again or I'm moving over to Android or Windows. My Surface Pro already won me over my toyish iPad 4, which I returned after never using it again. I will do it again unless they get their balls back into the nutsack.
The Interface of iOS 7 a bit girlish or girly. Any chance I can change the theme?
Hate it, hate it, hate it........
Complained to Apple and the genius asked me to get all my friends to complain to Apple rather than just moan so that changes can be forced as he hated it too.....he actually advised me to jailbreak my ipad......
Basically my ipad is going away until they fix this and if they don't it's being sold. The iPhone I was going to get has now been placed on hold too.
I literally hate it and it's screwed up some of my files and games too which I know is a developer problem but surely Apple should make sure all Apps that it has on the App Store works with any new iOS before releasing it?!
Horrible :-(

He begins by saying that he wishes that the servers had been more stable at launch, and that there had been more of them, but he says that in terms of design, Arenas were the single biggest mistake in WoW's history.
Says Pardo:
Pardo indicates that most of the changes to the game since launch have been a success -- the shrinking of raid sizes, the addition of Heroic dungeons, etc -- but that Arena has been a huge headache for Blizzard and players alike. He goes on to say that if he had the choice, he'd either go back to WoW's beginnings and change the fundamentals of class balance, or, barring that, would nix the decision to add Arenas during the development of the Burning Crusade expansion.We didn't engineer the game and classes and balance around it, we just added it on, so it continues to be very difficult to balance. Is WoW a PvE cooperative game, or a competitive PvP game? There's constant pressure on the class balance team, there's pressure on the game itself, and a lot of times players who don't PvP don't understand why their classes are changing. I don't think we ever foresaw how much tuning and tweaking we'd have to do to balance it in that direction.
A pretty candid statement about a pretty controversial topic. It's good to see that Blizzard understands that the implementation of Arenas was a mistake for a game like WoW. Of course, Pardo also says that they can't just axe Arenas completely, at least not yet, so we may be stuck with them for a while. Sorry about your PvE burst damage, guys.
You can read the full interview with Rob at the Warcry Network. It's not all about Arena, I promise.

T-Shirt Question
March 17, 2003 07:41PM
Thinking about selling T-Shirts at the May Memphis Tournament. I have a question for people who have sold T-Shirts before.
Say 200 people show up. How many T-Shirts would you recommend to have on hand to sale?
Also, out of those...what are the sizes you would have?
Thanks in advance!

Selling, or players package t's?
Here in BR, our local parks department does shirts for us for $5 a person. Unless we have sponsors to cover it, it get's deducted from the entry fee's.
Most people like larger T's, I'm a small person, butget either L or XL because they usually shrink, and I like to hide my ripping muscles!
But if there are kids playing, girls or women who like em tight, etc... you should get a good mix.
200 players! Sign me up!

Will T,
Selling T-Shirts. Not much...thinking $10....but hopefully they are nice enough that people will want to buy them. I have always loved buying a shirt that had the actual Tournament on it and year...so like you said...people ask...hey did you go to that?
So mostly L and XL? Probably not a ton of kids if any at the Memphis Tournament but should be some women....hmm..anymore ideas from folks?

I used to be in the tshirt market.. printing and selling tshirts. I would recomend around 72. Thats where you will get a price break. (15L, 40 XL and 17 XXL) I would say that they should sell well at 10 dollars. I would highly recommend making sure that you get a good design. A good design will sell itself. A small one color logo for the front and a 2-3 color design for the back should allow you to get a really good looking design. Alot of people dont want a large design on the front of the shirt. However, the cost of the shirts will probably be about 9 bucks on a white tshirt and that is cheap. The cost on the shirts with that kind of design is costing the vendor about 7 dollars and they are going to want to make some money. If you cant find someone to do it around that, let me know. I can get it done to help support the sport and I love the tournament. I made it to the tournament last year and really enjoyed it. I hadn't been playing but a couple of months then and I am hoping to do a little better this year. You can email me if you have any other questions. I am in the website business now, so I am always on my computer.

Columbia City police are searching for a missing K9, Stryker, and asking for the public's help.
The six-year-old Dutch Shepherd, reportedly escaped a kennel at his handler's house in Collins Tuesday. A police officer said he spotted Stryker at approximately 2:30 p.m. near the intersection of Ind. 205 and County Road 200 North.
"We started with kind of a tight parameter pretty close to the Collins area. As time progressed, the Churubusco Fire Department was dispatched to assist us and also there were some conservation officers in the area. There were also some deputies from the Allen County Sheriff's Department that are in the area," Columbia City Police Chief Tim Logenbaugh said.
Police said Stryker doesn't pose a threat to the public.
"Stryker is a friendly dog. He is not aggressive unless he's commanded to be aggressive by the handler," Longenbaugh said.
However, if Stryker is spotted, reports should be made by calling 911 instead of approaching the K9.

Bisping: Belfort's a Bible-bashing boring bastard - Mixed Martial Arts News
JB: Of your 13 fights at middleweight, what do you feel has been your most complete performance thus far and why?
MB: That's a good question. I'm not sure. I'll be honest. I haven't fought to the best of my abilities yet. There are a lot of things I haven't done yet in the UFC that I've always done in training. In my next fights, I'm going back to how I used to fight. I'm going to do spinning back-kicks. I haven't been doing spinning back-kicks in the UFC. And I don't give a f--- if you put that in the interview. I'm going to kick Alan Belcher's ass no matter what he does.
One of my favorite fights was the Denis Kang fight because coming off the Henderson loss, everyone, the press and the fans, said I was finished and couldn't come back after a knockout like that. Denis Kang was a tough fighter at the time, a great fighter from PRIDE. It was a good fight, and winning it was very emotional. There was a lot riding on that fight.JB: On April 27th, at UFC 159 in New Jersey, you are scheduled to fight Alan Belcher. What do you think of the matchup and what Belcher has to offer as an opponent?
MB: I think it's a great matchup. Alan Belcher's been calling me out for years. I used to feel sorry for him really. I had nothing against the guy, just thought he was a bit of an idiot. Now with some of the things he's saying, he's upping the ante and pissing me off. He thinks he's some great Thai boxer because he walks around in Thai shorts and he went to Phuket. I went to Thailand for three months, but I don't go around talking about it all the time. He's got decent Jiu-jitsu, but I don't see his knockout power. He's a middleweight so he should be capable of it, but I don't see it. His Thai boxing is mediocre, at best. No doubt, he's strong, but I'm better than him in all areas. If I lose, there is something seriously wrong. I've told my coaches that if I don't win, you're all f---ing fired because you're doing something wrong.
JB: You are one of the top middleweights in the world right now. Who are some of the other middleweights that you respect or admire, and who are some of the ones that you want to fight or rematch?
MB: Obviously, I have the utmost admiration for Anderson Silva. He's proven time and time again that he's the best. I'm a big fan of Anderson Silva, his fighting style as well as him as a person. I've met him a few times, and he's a good guy. But he's also the guy I'd most like to fight as well. It would be a travesty if when I retire, I've never fought him. I've been close a few times. But that's nobody's fault but mine. It's nobody's fault but mine and some TRT and some clever doctors.
I'd like to rematch everyone I ever lost to. I'd like to fight Wanderlei again after that bullshit victory he had against me. I'd like to fight Chael again. Even he said I won that fight. I'd fight Rashad. I'd fight Henderson again too. He beat me fair and square, but I still want to fight him again. Obviously I can't do anything without that fight coming up, seeing pictures of it on message boards. And, of course, I'd like another fight with the Bible-bashing Vitor Belfort, Vitor the boring bastard Belfort.
Vitor Belfort: The UFC always knew that I use TRT
He has been very vague in regards to it in the past but he went on record here, saying that he uses it and the UFC has always known about it. Tatame was there and documented his quote:
"The UFC always knew that I use, do not do it to cheat. I have medical monitoring and UFC also accompanies it. Never broken through anything, always acted cleanly. Do blood tests every week to equal the testosterone levels of a person my age. Many people are averse to treatment. I am not. I am in favor of people being open and fair in what they are doing."
His UFC on FX 8 opponent and former Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold was asked about it as well and said that he doesn't care if his opponent uses it, but he doesn't need it:
"I do not use and I see no problems, provided it is within the rules. TRT is part of the sport and now I just want to make sure that the fighters are being tested and are at normal levels, "he said, adding that he's seven years younger than his rival feels strong and healthy to compete at a high level.

Last Friday, I was asked to come on CNBC to discuss Google's (GOOG) most recent earnings, as well as a post I wrote for Forbes last April called: "Here's Why Google and Facebook Might Completely Disappear in the Next 5 Years."
CNBC blogged about my comments later and a copy of the interview with WSJ's Dennis Berman is here.
I made the case as best I could in the interview but I wanted to come back to reiterate some points in a post about why I think Google is in big trouble over the next five years.
Right off the bat, I want to make clear that, when I say Google will "disappear," I do not mean go bankrupt. Google has $46 billion in cash in the bank at the moment and it generates good cash. They could make a lot of mistakes in the next 5 years, but it would be pretty hard to go bankrupt.
When I say "disappear," I mean gone from the lofty perch they currently sit on. Just in the same way that Yahoo! (YHOO) used to be the dominant name in search – and almost bought Google twice — and now they are far from that. Their stock is 90% below their all-time high of $108 back in 1999. Even though they did more in revenue than Facebook (FB) last year, most people don't think about Yahoo at all these days next to the likes of Facebook and Google. They've lost their prominence.
Remember MySpace? Would you believe they were the 47th most popular website in the US last month, according to ComScore, with 26 million unique visitors? Neither could I. Yet, most of us think of MySpace as gone or "disappeared."
I believe Google (and Facebook) are facing down a barrel of a gun with the sudden rise of mobile in the last 12 to 18 months.
And we see that already – even though it's still early days — in Google's results:
- Cost-per-Clicks (CPCs), which are a measure of Google's profitability per search dropped 15% last quarter compared to the prior year. But this trend has been going on for the last 18 months now of continuing decline of click profitability. When asked about it on their earnings call, Google management says not to worry and that it will eventually go back up.
- Even though Google likes to point out that their "paid clicks" keep increasing – and they have – over this time period, which shows people are still using their service, the rate of that growth has been decelerating. And these mobile clicks that are "paid," are much less profitable than the old desktop "paid" clicks.
- Google's top line search revenue — leaving out the unprofitable large chunk of revenue they got from Motorola last quarter which pushed them up to a $14 billion quarter — is also showing next to no growth.
- A couple of weeks ago, Macquarie's Ben Schacter pointed out that – for the first time since he started measuring this in 2006 – Google's number of organic desktop search queries actually declined. We have hit "peak search" in the desktop world and "peak search" in the mobile world is probably only a couple of years away.
- Even though, Google has a lot of big and growing businesses such as YouTube which they make a lot of display ad revenue with, their core business is still search. It's also a the source of almost all the company's profits. A couple of years ago, search was estimated to account for well over 90% of the company's profits and more than 70% of its revenues.
- I would argue that search isn't the ideal to get information on the go on a mobile device. We do it because it's the best option available to us. But, if we were starting from scratch, surely we'd come up with an easier way to do information retrieval than type into a little blue box on a small screen.
- The most intuitive way to get information while on the go with a mobile device is from a service like Siri that is voice-based and uses artificial intelligence to understand our preferences, profile, and location.
If Google does hit a ceiling in search queries, its sales growth will hit a wall and its forward price/earnings multiple (now at 14x) will contract. That will mean the stock will drop – a lot.
I don't know why we think that Facebook's stock can be halved by slowing sales growth and lower profitability from the sudden shift to mobile and that Google's stock isn't equally as vulnerable.

Take a video tour of the powerful network bandwidth and traffic analysis features in SolarWinds® NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) including; flow based monitoring; bandwidth usage by application, protocols, source, destination, and
type of service; and identification of top talkers.
SolarWinds NetFlow analyzer enables you to capture data from continuous streams of network traffic and convert those raw numbers into easy-to-interpret charts and tables that quantify exactly how the corporate network is being used, by whom, and for what purpose.
Our NetFlow analyzer, SolarWinds NTA, delivers a comprehensive, customizable view of your network traffic on a single page.
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) delivers a traffic analysis dashboard that offers a simple, summarized view of your network traffic on a single page with easy drill-down capability. See what's going on at-a-glance and drill down into problem areas. Explore traffic patterns, understand device performance, and see how bandwidth is being consumed.
With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, there's no need to navigate between different applications or views to quickly isolate network issues. SolarWinds NTA enables you to quickly troubleshoot network traffic issues using new interactive charts with one minute granularity.
Analyze NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, IPFIX and Huawei NetStream data on devices from Cisco Systems®, Extreme Networks®, HP®, Juniper, Nortel Networks®, and other leading vendors with SolarWinds' NetFlow analyzer.
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer delivers multi-vendor support. With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, you can analyze NetFlow, sFlow®, IPFIX, J-Flow, and Huawei NetStream™ data from devices manufactured by leading vendors, including:
SolarWinds' NetFlow analyzer has advanced application mapping capabilities that provide valuable insights into which applications are consuming the most network bandwidth.
Knowing that 98% of your bandwidth is "Web traffic" is nice, but knowing what percentage is being used by YouTube, Facebook, or Amazon, versus critical business applications like Salesforce.com® is really useful! With advanced application mapping, you'll be able to track application traffic arriving from designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs, and even protocols. Additionally, the ability to store historical network traffic data makes it easy for you to isolate applications causing network traffic spikes and perform root cause analysis.
For example, with a QuickTime application that monitors port 554, port 1220, and ports 6970 to 6999, you'll quickly know exactly how much of your network bandwidth is consumed by network users watching QuickTime content.
Receive instant alert notifications, including a list of "top talkers", when an interface exceeds its bandwidth utilization threshold with our NetFlow analyzer.
It never fails. Whenever you hear that age old complaint, "the network is slow," it's usually the result of some user or application deviously consuming your precious bandwidth. But how can you keep ahead of these mischievous mayhem-makers?
With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), you can easily configure an interface utilization alert to notify you when bandwidth consumption exceeds your defined threshold. Bandwidth alert notifications even include a list of the top talkers on your network so that you can quickly pinpoint the bandwidth hogs.
So the next time Ann in finance is spending her lunch hour watching YouTube videos and slamming your internet gateway's primary interface, you'll get an email alert notification warning you that the bandwidth utilization for that interface is approaching capacity. Using the list of top talkers, you can instantly identify that Ann is the problem and de-prioritize her YouTube traffic.
Install and deploy our NetFlow analyzer in less than an hour using a few simple steps and a wizard interface that guides you through the process step-by-step.
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) provides a simple installation and configuration wizard that makes it easy to deploy. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer automatically collects flow data from any Flow-enabled device monitored by SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) for fast and easy deployment.
Even better, with SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager intuitive web interface, you won't need to attend training classes, read books with large animals on the cover, or pour through manuals in order to become productive.

Out-of-the-box reports include:
SolarWinds NTA also allows you to generate custom reports on historical network traffic usage for any specific or group of applications, endpoints, and domains over a specified time interval.
Network traffic analysis with custom overlapping IP address groups with our NetFlow analyzer.
All companies and networks are different. That's why you need a flexible traffic analysis solution that allows you to create your own IP address groups to view network traffic the way that YOU want to see it!
With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's IP address groups, you can designate multiple ranges of IP addresses (even overlapping IP addresses) by geography, department, or even device types such as firewalls, routers, switches, and servers. Using your custom-designed address groups, you'll know if the people in Poughkeepsie or the devices in Denmark are wasting your WAN bandwidth.
Our network traffic analyzer enables you to drill down into any element's traffic using multiple views to get the perspective you're looking for.
Whether the question is "what happened" or "what's happening right now," SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) makes it easy to perform detailed network traffic analysis. You can look at traffic patterns over months, days, or minutes and drill down to the moment when something happened, allowing you to investigate the source of issues like excessive bandwidth utilization or unexpected application traffic.
Alongside storing top 'x' conversations per interface, SolarWinds NTA also stores and displays data of all historical IP conversations with one minute granularity, thus providing visibility into small network traffic spikes and micro bursts. This enables you to identify the root cause of the network issues and anomalies for faster troubleshooting.
With our NetFlow analyzer, SolarWinds NTA, you can set up customized views of Internet traffic for ISPs & organizations to better understand how network traffic is balanced across providers.
With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), you can track which service provider the traffic is going through. Also, view, rename, and create custom summaries for AS numbers located in NetFlow v9 and IPFIX records. Or, capture an AS-specific view for a particular NetFlow source or interface—quickly and easily!
Use Border Gateway Protocol, take a look at the top AS numbers by traffic across all NetFlow Sources or drill down to an AS-specific view for a particular NetFlow source or interface, including:
It's never been easier or more affordable to monitor network traffic!
Our NetFlow analyzer enables you to view network traffic segmented by Class of Service methods, measure effectiveness of your CBQoS policies, and quantify bandwidth consumption by class map.
With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), you can view network traffic segmented by Class of Service methods, such as Type of Service or DSCP. Ensure that critical traffic such as voice or video is prioritized and isn't dropped by monitoring the bandwidth each of your critical CBQoS levels is consuming with one minute granularity.
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) puts your network traffic analysis on turbo boost by focusing on top talker bandwidth usage.
Network engineers know that the majority of network bandwidth is typically used by a small number of users and applications. Our top talker optimization feature allows you to focus your traffic analysis on these bandwidth-sucking users and apps.
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer determines which flows are representative of the majority of bandwidth usage. Those flows are then stored while disregarding flow data from users and applications that have a negligible impact on overall bandwidth. Automatic flow sampling helps you to ensure reporting on all volumes for traffic analysis. SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer also allows manual sample rate configuration. This elegant solution boosts overall performance of SolarWinds NTA up to 10x when capturing flows that represent 95% of the total network traffic.
Create and access personalized network traffic views by filtering NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow®, IPFIX, and Huawei NetStream™ data with our network traffic analyzer, SolarWinds NTA.
With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), you can create and share personalized network traffic views. Get as specific as you like – if you want to see domain traffic generated during standard office hours from a specific IP address, it's no problem. With your own personalized view of network traffic, you can quickly isolate and continually monitor those problematic applications and users!

Quality of Service (QoS) is back by popular demand! In Part 2 of our webcast series on QoS, our Head Geek will delve into super-technical topics like traffic shaping, scheduling and queuing algorithms, congestion avoidance, and CBQoS.
Network bandwidth usage is one of the biggest contributors to your network performance. By taking advantage of the flow technology that is built into most routers and switches, you can quickly identify bottlenecks and troubleshoot bandwidth.

In order to gain deeper insights into its Regional Internet Registry, APNIC purchased SolarWinds' Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM) and Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) solutions to improve monitoring and reporting on its network, which spans three sites in Australia and additional sites in Japan, Hong Kong and the USA.
One of the biggest factors impacting your network performance is network traffic and bandwidth usage. With more personal devices hogging enterprise network bandwidth, network managers are deploying new policies to maintain the quality of service.

Enterprise Operations Console delivers a consolidated command center for unified visibility into the remote SolarWinds deployments throughout your geographically distributed networks.
By adding additional polling engines, you can distribute the polling load between multiple servers to provide scalability for large IT infrastructures.
SolarWinds Failover Engine monitors the health of your SolarWinds servers to ensure you never lose visibility of the performance of monitored elements in your IT infrastructure. If something should happen to your primary SolarWinds server, the Failover Engine automatically fails over to a remote server.
By adding an additional web server engine, you can enable more users to access the dashboards and reports in the SolarWinds web portal without potential performance degradation.

Google's doodles are now a playground for creating small web apps. Static images are just the starting point for interactive apps that automatically load when you visit Google's homepage. Pac-Man, Isaac Newton, John Lennon and the particles doodle are some of the interactive doodles that surprised many Google users.
Yesterday's doodle celebrated Jules Verne's birthday and managed to use some clever animations without being annoying. "[The] doodle, celebrating Verne's 183rd birthday, tries to capture that sense of adventure and exploration. Using CSS3 (and with help from our resident tech wizards Marcin Wichary and Kris Hom), the doodle enables anyone to navigate the Nautilus (nearly) 20,000 leagues with the simple pull of a lever. And for those using devices with built-in accelerometers and the latest versions of Google Chrome or Firefox, it's even simpler — just tilt your device in the direction you want to explore and the Nautilus will follow," explained Google.
If you missed the doodle, you can now see a bigger version of the mini-app. It's a good opportunity to check if you have a fast browser and to use the "zoom out" feature of your browser.

Okay guys, gals n' fellow misfits!
One of the keys to survival believe it or not is gonna be such a simple little thing like..... <bingo> water! Those who have it will live, those who don't may not. Does everyone have a stock of iodine purification tablets laid in for drinking water? Do you know how to distill potable water from seawater?
I highly recommend the recent copy of BackWoodsMan magazine. Not only do they have great tips and tricks, but they also show you a home-made collapsible water distiller that will turn sea-water into drinkable water without any boiling (you may not have or want to start a fire).
Besides, it's great reading in a lot of other aspects too. Enjoy!

NIAID is conducting and supporting research to develop new strategies to prevent the spread of HIV. These strategies include vaccines and topical microbicides, such as gels, creams, and foams that can be applied to the vagina or rectum prior to sexual intercourse. Another strategy is to provide antiretrovirals to people who are not infected with HIV but who are at high risk of getting HIV infection (called pre-exposure prophylaxis [PrEP]). NIAID is committed to finding scientifically proven HIV prevention strategies and methods that are acceptable for use by different patient populations around the world to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Video Description:
The beautiful Mea contacted me asking if I could get her work in the fashion industry. After some convincing on the phone she agreed to meet up with me in the middle of the city. She was a bit apprehensive when I first met her, and brought her friend with her to be on the cautious side. I was slightly worried when I first saw them together in the street. I thought that it was her boyfriend who had come along to scupper my plans, however, I was relieved to find that it was just her friend who had come along to make sure she was ok. Funnily enough he came in handy because he was able to translate what I wanted to say to her more effectively. After we'd been to the restaurant and I'd gained their trust I took the beautiful Mea up to my office where I started giving her the Fake Agent Spiel. I had to tell her friend to go and wait in the restaurant because he was cramping my style, and let's face it, it would have been weird with him sitting on the sofa while I had filthy sex with Mea... After he left the real fun began, and I must say this girl has the crazy skills I need in the bedroom. She was fucking as if it was her last day on earth. At times I felt like I needed to control this wild animal that was emerging out of her innocent exterior. Her pussy was so warm and moist that with each wriggle of her pelvis I thought my cock was going to explode. Whoever ends up with this one will need one hell of a libido to keep up with her sexual needs.

Flat Link Layered Necklace

Flat Link Layered Necklace 1 1
Good, not great I purchased this necklace online, and once I received it I was immediately not impressed. The gold plating is too shiny, the two box links felt like plastic and could scratch easily. The only thing I did love was the length. I wish this could have worked but I returned it. : ( May 3, 2013
