This was the third or fourth Korean BB cream I've tried and between this and my Missha Perfect Cover, I'm set. It's creamy, hydrating and the coverage is medium, I'd say. I can see why this is one of the most popular BB creams. It's lightened my acne scars and I don't need to use anywhere near as much concealer as what I would usually. The colour oxidises to a natural shade on me, I'm roughly NC20. I'd rate the longevity approximately 6-8 hours, I prime and moisturise first. It works really well for me and I'd strongly recommend it.

I did quite abit of research before buying this cream. Although it pumps out grey it oxidises to a perfect colour match. I find this cream really soothing. It contains arbutin and it has lightened my complexion over a couple of weeks so I can't use it daily now as I've already had to buy a lighter foundation. I use it as a moisturizer when I'm at home and I'm almost finished with my second buy. I'll definitely buy again. I recommended this to a few friends, all with different skin types and they all like it and have repurchased. Excellent packaging.
Update 13 May 2013: I've purchased this product for the third or fourth time, I forget. It calms and soothes my skin when I feel it's dry or irritated. Doesn't sink into lines around the eyes. The more I use it the more I love it. I do not need to use powder with this product. Stays fresh and in place for the whole day in hot and humid weather. I don't need to touch up at all.
12 July 2013: I hardly use my Lancome or Healthy Mix foundation. I'm always reaching for this bb cream. It has lightened pigmentation and I love how my naked skin feels and looks after cleansing it off, this bb is nourishing and brightening my skin. I bumped into two friends I recommended this bb to, both dark brown complexion, one HAD acne problems so used Hot Pink, and they both look amazing, gorgeous skin yayyy!
Some of the YouTube "gurus" say bb creams are just tinted moisturizers. They just haven't tried this brand yet or the other famous Korean BBs

I LOVE this product! It's my go-to BB cream, and I use everyday in place of foundation. It starts out a little bit grey but it oxidizes to match my skin tone perfectly (I'm an Asian NC25). The coverage is somewhat sheer; if you want full coverage then this product is not for you. But if you are fine with about 75% coverage, then this is great--it gives a dewy glow and does not look or feel heavy on the skin. Just be careful when buying, though--make sure it's authentic first.

Edit: I find that this works best for me in the winters as that's when I'm lightest. It's too light for me during the summers for NC35, as the oxidization seems longer when I'm darker... how odd.
I'm a NC30-35. I was wary on buying this because many have said that this works best with those NC20-25, and being NC30 or darker will be "pushing" it. However, I found that once it oxidized it was fine. It took about 15 minutes to seem to oxidize to my color.
The grey cast works well on neutralizing the yellow and red undertones of my skin! I love this, as I've had a problem with a red face all my life and it can get embarrassing when people say I'm red as a tomato for just laughing a bit.
Coverage is great. It does not look like you have something caked on your face and it looks VERY natural, yet it conceals your pores and little flaws. Light coverage, but very buildable. I use extra bb cream and concealer in areas that need additional concealing.
Other benefits, such as SPF, has gotten me loving this as well.
The only con I can see about this product is the fact that this is NOT made for dry/combination skin. I read on the official website chart that the Gold fits dry/combo skin... it does NOT. I must moisturize thoroughly before putting it on as it isn't as moisturizing as it claims to be. I also feel my skin getting tight and it feels dry after applying this product on. Unlike other reviewers, I DO feel like there is something on my face despite the light coverage it gives.
I find that it got pretty oily after 3-4 hours of wear and had to start blotting even with setting powder. Still, I like it overall for the benfits of SPF and its claim to even out skin tone.
I would buy again if I could find it at a decent price in America, but I only use during winters.
The only thing buyers must be wary of is counterfeit products, especially on eBay! The official website might be a little pricey but guarantees authenticity whereas eBay sellers do not. Do research before buying it elsewhere for cheap!

I did a lot of research before purchasing this bb cream including watching YouTube videos and reading reviews online, on amazon, and of course on makeup alley. I decided to try an Asian bb cream over an American based bb cream because there seemed to be more healthy skin benefits with Asian creams as compared to American creams. the price was also appealing because it wasn't the most expensive of creams and also not the cheapest. I wear foundation on a regular basis for work, but on the weekend I try not to wear makeup especially when I'm laying around the house. I was looking for something I can slap on quickly and didn't feel like I was wearing a mask all day but was still able to even out my skin tone. Overall I like this bb cream, but I'm still searching for a better one. It is much lighter coverage than a foundation. Meaning I can't get away with not wearing a concealer when wearing the bb cream whereas if I wear a fuller coverage foundation I can get away with not using concealer. The bb cream doesn't hide all the redness around my nose, chin, and forehead which I expected it to do. The consistency is thicker and smooths on like a moisturizer. There is a smell to it that takes awhile to dissipate when it's on your face. Overall I would recommend this to people who are looking for some health benefits for your skin, don't mind the lighter coverage or using a concealer with it, and are looking for a more natural looking makeup. I was also thinking of buying the pink label, but bought the gold one first because it was said to be more moisturizing for the winter.

Love this BB cream! It covers pretty well, but it is a little sheer. I didn't have any problems with it and I didn't break out. It is a little too pale for me, but a lot of BB creams are. I just use a little powder to bring some color back into my skin and/or use bronzer.
It is a little pricey, but I think it's worth it!

I have tried the sister item of this product (Skin 79, Pink bottle)
The difference I have noticed in the product is.
Pink bottle
-Color is darker
-Better for summer
-Smell isn't as potent
Gold bottle
-Color is a tad bit lighter
-Awesome for dry harsh winters (I have VERY oily skin)
-Smell is very noticeable
-Light everyday makeup, results will give you a "au naturel" look, blush and contouring goes a long way
-Smooths out skin texture (my grandmother wore it once and she looked gorgeous)
-Cheap and affordable, buy the product off of ebay from Ruby ($20)
-It does help with redness and acne prone skin..ONLY up to a certain point
-Skin can adapt to the product, and cause severe breakouts
-The bottles aren't clear, can not detect when product is low
-Buying online = High chances of getting a fake product. (Strongly advise to purchase from Skin79's Website)

I've only had this a week but so far i love it, right out of the box I loved it. I have used a few western BB creams the just didn't hold up to my expectations and through some searching it seemed asian BB creams were the way to go.
I took all reviews into consideration and I was most concerned about the color and the "gray" that people described. The color matched my skin almost perfectly and definitely blended easily. When I wore MAC I was shade NW25 but I also tanned back then and that foundation is too dark now. My guess Is I'm somewhere between and NW15-20, I most recently had been wearing Clinique Even Better in Ivory (also nice, but wish it had a higher spf).
I have combination skin with old acne spots on my chin, redness around my nose, large pores, and dark circles. This cream blends all of it. It does not cover completely but surprisingly, I don't mind. My skin looks very natural, not too shiny, not dull. I have worn it with and without powder and both wear well. I apply a light coat all over and then dab a little extra wherever I need it and proceed with my eye makeup and blush/bronzer. By the time I have finished it's all oxidized and lovely. I plan on buying some for my mom and my sister.
*EDIT* 3/14/13 I do like this but it seems to get greasy and melty throughout the course of the day. I blot after about 6 hours but it seems to remove all the product around my nose which is where I need it most, and it leaves creases in my laugh lines that make me look old. I'm trying to find a different way to use this since I do like it so much.

I have been using this bb cream since July of 2012... never have I ever found a product that looks FLAWLESS. I apply a primer first ( smashbox color correcting primer ) then i apply a dab of the bb cream to my hand and start to apply and blend. it looks flawless! it covers my acne scars and keeps my skin matte throughout the day.. never has caused me to break out. it is a bit pale but if i apply a blush or contour i look just fine. i just purchased the skin 79 concealer and can't wait to try it out. i am the coordinator at my spa ( skintique miami www.skintiquemiami.com ) and having good skin is a must...people seriously think i have flawless skin.. little do they know ;)
13 bucks on amazon and last of months!

Info: 22, ghost pale, oily and congested/acne prone skin that is prone to dry patches. I apply a topical retinoid/anti-bacterial (Ziana) every night which is helping to clear up my skin, but does make my skin sensitive to most everything. Makeup tends to look patchy in dry spots and non-existent in oily spots. I also have a fair amount of acne scarring on my forehead.
Before ordering I hemmed and hawed over which version to go with, Gold or Pink. Seeking out zillions of reviews, I figured that Gold would probably be a better suit due to the dry patches of skin I tend to have. I ordered this off of amazon but fearing a ripoff, I spent the extra money and bought it directly from the Skin 79 seller, so I know for sure it's the real deal.
Long story short: I'm in love.
I think the reason I'm obsessed with this is the reason why lots of people have a hard time with BB creams: the color. I have the skin tone of Casper, and finding a light enough color is often impossible; MAC's NW/NC15 are too dark for me. This color of this BB cream, however, is PERFECT. It has a slightly gray tint, but oxidizes and takes on my pinky skin tone.
I apply with my hands, letting the warmth let the product melt into my skin. I just put a light layer on first, probably only half a pump, and then go back and use it as a concealer. No, it's not full coverage, and no, it does not completely mask the spots, but it does conceal quite well. It makes my skin glow and look NATURALLY healthy, which is more than any foundation or tinted moisturizer has ever done for me.
As far as the skin care benefits, it's still early days and I can't tell if it has made a difference. As long as it's not breaking me out (which it hasn't), I'm a happy camper.

Irish Hills Cupcakes
Note: While these cupcakes were made for St. Patrick's Day, this cupcake and frosting recipe can be adapted to any holiday!
These cute little numbers remind me of the performance of Brigadoon my mom and I went to see at the local high school when I was a little girl. I'll never forget the gallant, handsome lad who played the role of Tommy. He sang "Heather on the Hill" to Fiona with such charm and youthful, Irish appeal, and . . .
WAIT. Stop the presses. Never mind.
Brigadoon takes place in Scotland.
Well, you know what? Ireland is green, too! And these cupcakes will remind you of the rolling hills of that gorgeous country like no other dessert will.
They'll also remind you of Brigadoon!
Even though they probably shouldn't.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners. Combine the butter and the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the
paddle WHISK attachment . . .(sorry about my earlier typo)…
And cream them together until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl halfway through to ensure it's thoroughly mixed.
Add the vanilla, then crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition . . .
And mix it until nice and smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Then, with the mixer on low, add one-quarter of the dry ingredients.
Mix the buttermilk and milk together, then add one-quarter of that mixture to the bowl.
Continue mixing in the dry ingredients and milk mixture in alternating batches, scraping the sides of the bowl once to make sure it's all mixed together.
Use a 1⁄4-cup measure or scoop to add the batter to the cup . . .
Then bake the cupcakes for about 18 minutes, until they're poufy and light golden brown. (Psst. These got a little more brown than yours will get! I tried 375 at first, but decided 350 was ultimately better.)
While the cupcakes are cooling, make the icing! I just made an easy cream cheese version (no butter or anything), but any ol' buttercream will do, too! Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
Add a teeny splash of vanilla…
Mix it on high until the frosting is nice and smooth. It should be slightly gooey…where "gooey" means "divine."
Add a small amount of green food coloring (how much you add depends on how green you want your frosting!)
Mix it well until the icing is evenly colored. Add a little more coloring if you like, to get the color nice and deep.
When you're ready to ice the cupcakes, place some green sanding sugar in a small dish.
To frost each cupcake, take the easy road by placing it upside down in the frosting . . .
And gently press it into the sanding sugar.
Roll it around to coat it in the sugar.
Pretty! By pressing the cupcake into the sugar, you'll create little "hills" in the surface of the icing.
You can also pipe the other half of the cupcakes with a star tip and sprinkle on the sugar for a different look.
You'll love these. (And you can change the color to suit any holiday, of course!)
Here's the handy dandy printable.

Irish Hills Cupcakes
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Difficulty:
- Easy
- Servings:
- 24
- 1 cup Softened Butter (2 Sticks)
- 2 cups Sugar
- 4 whole Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 1 package (8 Ounce) Cream Cheese, Softened
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar, Sifted (more If Needed For Thickening)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- Green Food Coloring
- Green Sanding Sugar
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 12-cup muffin pans with liners.
In a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Mix together the milk and buttermilk in a pitcher. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate adding the wet and dry ingredients in four batches each, until the batter is thick and smooth.
Add 1/4 cup batter to each muffin cup, then bake for 18 minutes (approximately.) Remove and allow to cool completely.
Make the icing by mixing together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and green food coloring. Add a little more powdered sugar if it seems too thin.
Place the sanding sugar in a small dish. Dip the cupcakes, top side down, in the icing until coated, then dip them in the sanding sugar, gently rolling them to coat. Repeat with the rest of the cupcakes.
For a little variation, pipe icing on half the cupcakes, then sprinkle with sugar.
(Refrigerate if not serving immediately, as icing will be soft.)

I've not made this recipe, but in other frosting recipes like this the minimum amount would be the 3 cups listed. If its too soft, add additional until the consistency works for you.

Those look yummy!
Bobbie H On Saturday, March 15 at 3:04 pm
Help me out on this one. Ree says to use a paddle attachment but she used the whisk attachment. Do you think it'll make any difference? It's been a long time since I made cupcakes and I don't want to leave anything to chance.
Lisa K On Saturday, March 15 at 3:17 pm
For tha batter recipe, The directions say to put the paddle attachment in but the pictures obviously have the whisk. A little confused as to which will work best.
Ellen On Saturday, March 15 at 3:54 pm
I love a good pretty frosting. Even more than pretty frosting, I just straight up love frosting:)
Rilee On Saturday, March 15 at 4:10 pm
These look delicious! One thing I found funny was that you said to use the paddle attachment, but the picture shows you using the whisk attachment. I'm pretty attentive!
Emily P On Saturday, March 15 at 4:29 pm
This recipe gives me a great idea for my never-fail St. Patty's day cupcake…dye the frosting green! How simple of an idea! I make Irish Car Bomb cupcakes when it comes to March…but what better way to make them festive! These look amazing!
Dc On Saturday, March 15 at 4:45 pm
Pretty!! I'm going the green rice Krispy treat route since I need 3 pans of them for work. Sorry kids!
Ellen@BakeItWithBooze On Saturday, March 15 at 5:04 pm
Um, yeah! We make a boozy version of this cupcake– Luck o' the Irish Cupcakes. A little bit of booze makes the Leprechauns very happy at our house!
Michelle On Saturday, March 15 at 5:29 pm
I love the cake stand! Bryce`s show was great…what a cutie. Made me sentimental for the days when I spent one on one time with my boys!
sharon bowman On Saturday, March 15 at 5:57 pm
Maybe I missed something: How do you make sanding sugar? Just granulated sugar and coloring? I've never been a great cook, so I follow recipes from A — Z.
Thanks . . . Sharon
Lavender On Saturday, March 15 at 5:58 pm
Those look amazing! I can't wait to try the recipe and serve them to my friends!
Janice in EP On Monday, March 17 at 7:28 am
I love the name lavendar! It remeinds me of that movie Matilda.
Megan P On Saturday, March 15 at 6:27 pm
My 2 year old just looked at these and said "Mmm. I want to eat dem." I think we'll add them to the try me list!
Connie On Saturday, March 15 at 6:55 pm
My mouth is watering right now. I absolutely love cupcakes. My favorite thing to do is break it in half and take the bottom half, turn it upside down and smash it on the ice cream to form a cupcake sandwich.

What a great idea with the green coloring for the sugar. I suppose green sparkles would work as well. These look yummy!
Danette On Saturday, March 15 at 8:10 pm
Oohh! They look so yummy and very pretty. Enjoy your weekend!!
Marissa On Saturday, March 15 at 8:16 pm

Kathy On Saturday, March 15 at 9:11 pm
I can't wait to make these. I have buttermilk and everything! It's meant to be!!! My son is coming over tomorrow and will love this.:)
Farmgirl On Saturday, March 15 at 10:46 pm
Very pretty! Just might have to whip those up to take to school Monday. A wonderful Irish film is "The Quiet Man" with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. I love the little cottage!
Anne P. On Sunday, March 16 at 9:37 am
Hi Farmgirl, do you know the cottage still exists? Also, the little bridge! So charming! I always watch "The Quiet Man" around this time each year…a timeless classic!
Cheryl Barker On Saturday, March 15 at 11:49 pm
These would be really pretty in pastels for Easter, too. Love the sugary touch!
[email protected] On Sunday, March 16 at 3:34 am
I love the swirling on the icing tip! I hate icing cupcakes so I will now just swirl!

Happy St Patty's Day!!
Emily @ Life on Food On Sunday, March 16 at 6:40 am
I am thinking these would be so cute in all sorts of pastel colors for Easter. Like individual egg cupcakes.
Lauren On Sunday, March 16 at 6:50 am
Perfect recipe to get you in the mood for St. Patricks Day!! Love it!!
Dara On Sunday, March 16 at 8:39 am
Great Cupcakes *.*
Natalie On Sunday, March 16 at 1:05 pm
How long should I cook them for if I'm making the mini cupcake size?
Traci On Sunday, March 16 at 5:55 pm
Just giving my two cents here . . . I love the way your new print option LOOKS through Tasty Kitchen but two things: 1) Would love an option to print or not to print the picture. 2) I miss your recipes fitting all on one page. My recipe notebooks are fat enough – the way they print now will make them 50% bigger! And a comment, my family thinks I'm a good cook because of your recipes!
Shelia On Sunday, March 16 at 7:35 pm
I am making a gluten free version using Pamela's Artisian flour blend instead of all purpose flour. Hope it works well!
Anna On Sunday, March 16 at 8:07 pm
These are beautiful!
Trisha On Sunday, March 16 at 8:55 pm
I am Hooked on your Show ! Love to watch yourFamily you cooking The dogs Everything ! God Bless y'all

Grace On Sunday, March 16 at 10:16 pm
These look tasty!
Julie On Sunday, March 16 at 10:27 pm
I made these tonight and found the cupcakes dry…. Not sure if i did something wrong?
Elena On Monday, March 17 at 3:31 am
Mmmm… yummy, I love cupcakes!!!!!
Jess On Monday, March 17 at 4:07 am
These look delicious, and I love the use of the green sugar on the icing. Almost looks like glitter.
I made your sliced baked potatoes recently and they were hit so I might give these a go.
I have my own St Patrick's Day recipe on my blog for a Bailey's Chocolate Mousse if anyone wants to check it out.
Nicole @Nicocobell.com On Monday, March 17 at 5:00 am
These cup cakes are so pretty! I'm wanting on for breakfast. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Hansengirl On Monday, March 17 at 9:40 am
Made these, and as is always the case with your recipes, Ree, they came out delicious! For a twist, I added a few tablespoons of a good whiskey to the cupcake batter. Oh my, were they ever yummy, and we floated around the warm-cupcake-vanilla-and-whiskey-scented house for the rest of the afternoon. Thanks, Ree!
Ashlee L. On Monday, March 17 at 10:03 am
These will be perfect today! My little critters (4 yrs. & 1 yr.) Love to be in the kitchen with me! Especially when there's dunking a cupcake in frosting then sprinkles! Ha! Thanks PW!
Dogmom On Monday, March 17 at 12:26 pm
Oh, my gosh, Ree! We did Brigadoon in high school (1969-70) and it started a lifelong love of Scotland and all things Scottish for me! Thanks for the memory.
Amy Navarre On Monday, March 17 at 2:33 pm
So I saw these this morning and thought "that's what I'll do!" So I did. And I just ate one. And they are spectacular! Thanks!
Cheryl S On Monday, March 17 at 9:34 pm
I made these cupcakes – loved them!!
hunteryz On Tuesday, March 18 at 11:57 am
This is Amazing,
But It looks so Green…. I am not sure i like it, haha
Laura @ Laura's Culinary Adventures On Tuesday, March 18 at 12:29 pm
I like your method for decorating cupcakes! Super fast!
Chrissy On Thursday, March 20 at 8:05 am
made these this past weekend for St. Pat's! Soo yummy! I made a buttercream frosting for them instead of the cream cheese one since my husband is not a fan. Consensus in our house – best cupcakes ever!
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Ashe On Wednesday, March 26 at 1:55 am
My nephew just loves green and these cupcakes are now on the menu for us to make over the upcoming school holidays. They just look yummy. I love the sparkly look.
Ashe On Wednesday, March 26 at 2:04 am
I follow you on Facebook and love opening your posts to see what further little gems you have found. I just cannot believe that some people just don't realise what is actually happening when they make those cakes.Thank you regularly bringing a smile to my face.
Jamila On Thursday, March 27 at 9:14 pm
Hello Ree,
I have to say that I enjoy your blog. My Mama was a great cook and a professional baker. She was so good at it and all I wish is to be amazing at it as well. I wanted to tell you that baking a cake from scratch has always difficult for me. It was not until I tried your epiphany cake that I had great success. I am very pleased to say that because of you I was able to conquer my fear of getting wrong, and try my hand at other recipes. This one looks great to me and I will try this one as well. Thank you again for making it all look so easy. I appreciate your efforts and you do here so very much.
Ryan On Thursday, April 3 at 6:58 pm
Just the ticket
Thanks pioneer woman!
Heather Harris On Thursday, April 17 at 9:53 am
Sounds delish! And I just have to add I so love Brigadoon! "Heather on the Hill" is great but in partial to "Come to me Bend to Me" it's so rare to find people who have even heard of that. I like you even more!

Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
"A riotous ride complete with audience participation, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is delightful den of comedic genius."--MTI

Apple internal slides
There has been no shortage of rumors that the iPhone 6 will have a big screen ranging from 4.7-inches to over 5 inches. But why is Apple doing this? They just changed the display size from 3.5-inches to 4-inches and another screen size increase could present a headache for developers, casemakers and the whole ecosystem.
The answer, from Apple's own research/presentation, shows they have to. There is no growth in the 4-inch phone market for devices that cost more than $300. In fact, that market is shrinking overall.
Below is the slide that shows how Apple ended up in this predicament. It isn't just consumers wanting big screens for less. Carriers also have it out for Apple, according to the internal slides released (via Re/code) during the current Apple v. Samsung patent trial. Citing the iPhones high market share, subsidy premium, 'Unfriendly' policies and lack of alignment, Apple believes the carriers have a strong interest in capping iPhone sales. Finally, according to Apple, competitors are improving their hardware and ecosystems and spending 'obscene' amounts of money to gain traction at carriers. That is Samsung more than anyone else.
So what can Apple do?
Apple can sell a 4-inch iPhone for under $300, either forgoing their historically huge margins and/or making a cheap device. Neither of which are very likely. You can currently buy an iPhone 5c at Virgin without a plan for just over $300 but those are likely still subsidized because they are locked to Virgin. It is hard to find a 4-inch iPhone for under $500 on the open market.
The much more likely scenario is that Apple sells a bigger iPhone 6 for its current market price and margins addressing the growing market. At the same time, its current lineup could drop in price and come close to hitting that magic sub-$300 price point.
In short, Apple must make a bigger iPhone.
Leave a Reply
136 Responses to "The confidential internal slides that show why Apple is making a bigger iPhone 6"
I agree, it's time for a (slightly) larger screen. When I use a friend's iPhone 4S or earlier, the screen does now seem remarkably small, an impression I admit stems from my iPhone 5 and from other phones I've looked at. And while I think the 5 is a perfect size, an increase to a screen size of 4.7, as we're hearing rumors, would be a nice change. I'm not sure about a 5.5″ screen, however. That's a substantial increase.
In any case, I think what protects the entire iOs ecosystem is its uniformity across all phones and platforms, whatever their screen size. My home screen at 4″ looks and performs identically to a 4S at 3.5″. What drives me nuts about Android, and what prevents me from even considering switching, is the insistence of each manufacturer to imprint its own designs into the software. A Samsung performs differently from an HTC which performs differently from a Motorola etc. So if I look at a one friend's Android phone, the next friend's Android phone looks entirely differently.
My point: yes, Apple needs a larger screen, but that's not the only thing that's going to prevent a mass migration from iOs. The UE is still, in my opinion, in a league of its own.
The Nexus phones and tablets have no additional stuff added so they look uniform, they just have Android as Google intended. I will only buy the Nexus range of Android.
Apple finds itself in this predicament as a result of similar attitudes that plagued (and ultimately doomed) Microsoft and the post-Jobs (the first time) Apple era — stubbornness and unwillingness to adapt. I am a die hard Apple fan and they almost lost me as an iPhone user by ignoring the clear demand of users preferring more screen real estate in this day and age. The only thing that kept me as an iPhone user was the "stickyness" of the ecosystem, which I began to view not as a positive, but as an obstacle to me actually wanting to switch since the hardware would not keep pace with market realities.
Even now, if rumors are true that the iPhone 6 will come in a bigger size, they have already lost a ton of market share, some of which they will never be able to regain. They could have easily trounced the competition (whose only real advantage was bigger screen size) before companies like Samsung were able to gain so much traction and momentum. Instead of using its vast resources in nipping this in the bud before it became an issue, Apple is now using it towards litigation and other waste-of-money and reactionary type campaigns, all a little too little, too late. It's all pretty sad to me, as both an Apple fan and long time shareholder.
Your mostly right except for one thing: there are many people who left Apple ecosystem because of a too small screen iPhones… but they will return when Apple releases a larger screen iPhone. Many people don't have problems switching back and forth and the fact that many apps / services are now available on both platform ease this process…
Exactly. Instead of wasting time and money suing Samsung, Apple would have been much better off competing in the larger screen smartphone market instead of ceding the majority of the smartphone market to Android smartphone makers.
lawyers are working and making win for apple
engineers are working and making winning products for apple
neither are wasting time and it's not the same person
the world is not like that:
"ho sorry, stop to work on the new technology for the best mac ever, you have to go to defend us against samsung" "I'm an engineer, sir" "-so ?"
I'm not at ease with 5″ iphone. 4.7 seems to me too much already. Of course with an incredible screen and wonderful software I will be impressed. But I LOVE how I can use the iphone 5 with just my thumb.
I don't think these giga-phone are that convenient. but yes; it's certain, the iphone 6 will be big
and if Apple makes a good job and their technologies are always interesting, in time I will follow the "big iphone" (7 or 8 or 9.. I don't know) but sincerely, I hope the best iphone ever with best cpu, best screen, best technologies, best software, best camera, will still be available in a decent reasonable size.
I don't care if you don't believe me or if after my huge rant you still think I'm a troll.
Ridiculous. Samsung blatantly copied. They had to sue. Your are being nonsensical.
What is this 'clear demand' exactly? Less than 15% of Android phones have screens bigger than 4 inches.
All the new smartphone adopters that are buying google won't switch back. I don't think many will switch. I think the litigation costs are negligible when compared to the amount of money they make. The iPad is still their best product. A Jesus watch would turn Apple around, but only if it's better than the Moto 360.
I guess I'm in the minority in that I don't WANT a bigger phone! It's a PHONE, something you carry in your pocket and hold up to the side of your face. Phablet users look ridiculous.
Me too! I think those large phones are a joke but if Apple wants to make one, fine just keep making the 5 size as well. Those other companies had to make larger phones for battery life.
I agree completely. The iPhone 5 is already too big. I could use my 3GS with one hand stationary and my thumb could reach all four corners of the screen. With the 5 I have to shuffle my hand or use my other hand to reach all corners. The 5 is already too tall to fit in a work shirt pocket and latch the button (something I could do with the 3GS to keep it from falling out).
You had the option to purchase the 4S, but instead you chose to go with the iPhone 5…Don't complain
Dean, you're completely wrong, dumbass. The 4S has not available in 64GB for a very long time.
At the end of the day, you made your decision.You chose the ability for more functionality over a smaller form. If most iPhone users had the option of choosing a smaller 4inch iPhone versus a larger one with more functionality, most would make the exact same decision as you. So once again…Don't Complain
Everybody looks stupid holding a box to their ear, when there are bluetooth, or even wired headsets available for hands free operation. Heck, all you have to do is talk to the device now to have it dial your number. Size is just a matter of either choice, and however much more space is required for whatever hardware is needed to make the new bells and whistles work, plus what ever DHS has mandated they put in to better spy on us.
Not 'and', I meant 'or'
Where is this source from? This article makes no mention of it.
In my opinion it's not the size of the device but what you use it for. If you want to text all day long, the a larger keyboard would be attractive. And many do the two thumb tango. But if you want a device to check the weather, traffic conditions, make a hotel reservation, pay for your Starbucks, pay a bill or buy something on eBay, a larger screen isn't necessary, just make it big enough to tap with one finger. What is more important is being able to store the phone in a pocket…
It seems to me that Apple is missing out on another untapped market here! I-Clothes with pockets large enough to accommodate their products!
Any phone with a larger screen size has to comfortably fit in one's pocket and still be usable with one hand. Phablet users look ridiculous and are clearly compensating for a lack of size in another aspect of their lives. If I need a larger screen, I'll use my iPad mini.
"Phablet users… are clearly compensating"
Maybe we're representing.
I would still much rather have a "phablet" and thus only have to carry one device.
That would mean more of an "iPad nano" than an "iPhone maxi."
For those that love the iPhone 5 and 5s screen size, I'm sure that Apple will maintain a 4-inch model to suit you. If they actually do introduce one or two larger phone sizes, they will be in addition to the existing 5s size so that buyers can vote with their wallets. I wouldn't worry about the 4″ iPhones going away anytime soon. There will just be more options for users who want larger screens. I currently have an iPhone 4S and I'd love a 4.7″ or 5″ phone so that web surfing becomes practical. My 3.5″ screen is just a bit too tiny and fiddly for browsing the web. With Apple's immaculate attention to detail, I'm certain there will be an enviable balance between size and functionality
Right on.
I used a few different Android smartphones before getting my first iPhone 4 a few years ago and my main reason for not getting an iPhone was the smaller screen compared to a lot of good Android devices out at the time. Once I switched to an iphone for a couple of years I though I would enjoy a larger screen on my phone so I tried a couple of different Android phones like the Galaxy S3 and S4 when it came out but after a month or so of using the Android phone I realized that the unity of IOS was more helpful to me since and since I have an iPad and 15″ MBP retina I can get by with the 4″ display on my phone. That is not to say I wouldn't welcome with open arms a slightly larger screen on my iPhone as rumors suggest. I do believe it is imperative that Apple increase the realestate on the iPhone if they want to keep the same market share they have had in the past. That does not mean they can't sell a iPhone with a 4″ screen, they just need to offer at least one with a larger screen to give Apple fans a choice of having a larger screen on their iphone if they want one.
Why do people like the iOS ecosystem? Because it works so good on all devices. We have so many apps that work great on iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5/S. There is no real fragmentation for developers yet, extending screen resolution by 176 points in height when the iPhone 5 was released was not much of a struggle for the majority of developers.
Now consider increasing screen size both in width and height. The switchers (those who need bigger screens so much and are the target audience in this case) will be happy to see a bigger iPhone, but what will they say when they notice that the majority of the apps run in the letterbox mode with black bars on all sides? Will they be happy to see this kind of user experience? Most likely they will think something like 'iOS is getting more like Android' or 'Steve Jobs would have not allowed that'. Someone might argue that developers will adapt their apps for the new resolution as they did for the iPhone 5 screen. Well, as I mentioned previously, it will be much more difficult than with the iPhone 5, due to the increase in width as well. Potentially we are speaking about a transition period of 6-12 months.
And this is going to be even worse if they release two bigger-screen iPhones, 4.7″ and 5.5″.
So, at the end of the day, it is all about whether Apple is ready to follow the market and pursue new profits potentially worsening its ecosystem or they will continue to stick to their ideas and concepts (big screens don't work because you can't control them with one hand). I hope the latter will be true.
The long term benefits for a larger screen greatly outweighs the short term obstacles. I don't think the transition period will be as dire as you're making it seem, but even if it is, there are just too many potential customers to ignore. After that transition period, they are back to being the best of best and everyone is happy with either their choice of a 4" or 4.7" iPhone.
If Apple doesn't increase its screen size and people start to buy other smartphones, a good ecosystem won't be of any help. You have to keep in mind that the competition is getting better and their ecosystem is becoming stronger. In the next 5 years, I can definitely see the competition having a much more developed ecosystem AND a large variety of screen sizes. At that point it will be too late for Apple to make any drastic changes. Why not make the change now when things are still looking good?
The people who strongly prefer a 4" screen will still most likely buy a 4.7" iPhone (let's be honest), but I don't think you can say the same for the people who want larger screens. Especially now, with the push for unsubsidized phones, I don't know how long a 4" phone will last with a $650-700 price tag. I love my iPhone but I do feel both native and 3rd party applications could be more powerful with a larger screen.
I could go with the 4.7″ phone, not anything more. It's hard to put down one or two reasons why a bigger screen is good or bad. There are so many people who like so many different types of phones that you just have to pick your battles and not do anything as a company that's going to hurt yourself. Apple is still the best handset maker all around and the money they make from it proves it.
I won't say the other phones aren't nice, the new HTC phone isn't bad at all, but what keeps me an iPhone user is Apple commitment to their customers, great hardware that's worth the money and a great ecosystem that Apple has built up for years.
great, now i can use both hand when typing and had extra long thumb like everybody else. and i have to lick my spit. thanks again. and it better be goooooood >:\
As much as one can say it's time for a larger screen, this is a bit concerning for me. Apple has always been about giving the consumer what they want that they didn't know they wanted. They weren't about looking at what consumers know and like but rather what they didn't have and never cared to imagine. They made the trends, not follow them.
Maybe I'm looking into it too much but Apple simply following a trend doesn't sit right with me. I hope they aren't losing sight.
And by no means is this me against a larger screen, I think it'll be interesting how they adapt a larger screen without losing the feel of an "in-your-hands" device, I'm just more concerned about the 'why'.
"They weren't about looking at what consumers know and like but rather what they didn't have and never cared to imagine. They made the trends, not follow them"
Apple thinks they know consumers best, and its important you realize they don't. If it wasn't for market pressure we'd all still be using 3.5" iPhones today. Why it's so difficult for them to accept change like a bigger screen or simple features like control center (which cydia developers have been doing for years) is mind-boggling and frustrating. I just don't understand.
For me, a bigger screen just seems like a no-brainer. The App Store has the best and most powerful applications but sadly, a lot of these apps are limited by the iPhone's screen size. Developers could really throw in a lot more features, tools, and toggles in their apps if they had more space to play with. Not everyone has an iPad they can just whip out and those who do own iPads don't want to carry one everywhere they go!
If Apple goes with a 4.7inch iPhone, they'll gain tons more customers. And for the minority that say they prefer a 4inch screen, what are they gonna do then? Buy a Galaxy S5 or M8? Besides, we all know most of these people would NOT choose a 4 inch screen over a (reasonably sized) larger one if they were presented with two iPhone options. Let's not lie to ourselves.
I never disagreed about the choice of going with a larger screen, I just found it unsettling as their now public reason for going with it. How a company makes it decisions are almost as important as the decision made, since it will set a general precedence for all future internal brainstorming.
I just don't want this to act like a box placed over Apple and they now begin to lose their imagination to innovate in an area never truly explored. I don't want to see Apple as a company that always follows trend but a company that is daring to explore the unimagined.
I hope this added some quick clarity to my initial rant.
A larger 4.7″ inch screen, no bezels, and some changes to iOS7, specifically, a customizable home page that always displays a series of live information without pressing anything, instead of a static row of apps. That's the magic formula, I think, that will bring back the droves of users who converted other ecosystems. I know it'll make me happy. Apple, stop being arrogant and adapt!
You have to give customers what they plainly want – not what you think they should want. There is a simple rule in merchandising – "the customer is always right".
Apple has no respect for people with crummy eyesight….cmon guys!
I think the iPhone 5's screen is just right. A larger telephone will be uncomfortable. Maybe the solution will be to offer two sizes such as the Galaxies.
Apple is at least 3 years late making a larger iPhone. Instead of staying ahead of the curve, they are now falling farther behind it.
Two points I would like to add.
My generation, being the first to adapt to smartphones, are staring to experience Presbyopia (age-related macular degeneration) and our eyes are not so good with the small screens.
1. They need better zoom or text enlargement features universally on the screen or better yet an even bigger screen.
2. Ramp up the engineering of bendable or better yet foldable glass. A 9″ x 7″ that folds into 4.5″ x 7″ then again into 4.5″ x 3.5″ would work for me!
Apple also needs to bump the minimum storage size to 32GB if they are going to continue to avoid SD card expansion. Most people just don't get iCloud.
4″ is a comfortable front pocket size. 5″ is a total maximum. I have a 7″ tablet if I need a larger screen thank you.
Stop the fanboying, people. It's just a phone from a another soulless corporation that has been overcharging us and limiting our choices for decades.
Just make the iPad mini phone capable. Done.
You said first! You win nothing in particular; other than, the satisfaction of having the right answer.
Funny thing here. People howled about Apple going to a 4″ screen from a 3.5″ one claimed the iPhone had the perfect screen size. Those claims are being recycled, only a 4″ screen is now perfect and a larger one would just ruin the machine.
Anyone want to place bets on the notion that Apple fans will claim a new, larger one is perfect after a new iPhone hits the market with one?
One of the main reasons I'm using an HTC One now is that it packs a big, beautiful screen. The problem with Android, however, is that Apple has the better apps store by a country mile. Not to mention some equivalent apps for Android (LinkedIn, for example) are terrible compared to the ones for iOS. Bumping up the iPhone's screen size is just a critical move. Apple generally gets the best apps first and has some great exclusives. The only thing missing is a larger screen size.
I'll take a larger phone. Bring it on!
I just chatted with a guy from Foxconn in Shenzhen, China, the factory for Apple Phone, the new iphone is on production and will be launched on June!!! the screen size is 5", this can be sure, a little bit wider than 5S, but the shape changed, similar to that of Ipad, which makes it look thinner.
Apple does not necessrily listen to customers. Henry Ford did not listen to customers as well when they probably wanted faster horses than a vehicle ;) Apple just do it again. Create a market for disruptive products. i still believe in your innovative DNA
I can't wait until an EMP fucks up all your shit, then we'll see how worth it it was to debate this shit
Anyone who said the iphone is "just a phone" is missing the point, sure you can use the most expensive all-in-one computing devise as just a phone but they are so more more. I use mine as my main computing devise: gps, camera, reading, netflix, internet, emails, BOINC, scanning documents, accessing my files, oh yes and as a phone. A lot of ppl out there do the same so you want a bigger screen to enjoy all of this. The iphones are beautiful however they are small, expensive and restricted and no SD card (very handy for transferring files). I use the Samsung S3 Mini for all of the above and yes the battery is crap but I'm very jealous of my wifes Samsung S4 running KitKat which has an unbelievable battery life with nearly 50% battery left after running on 4G for ovr 12hrs and to me the screen size is perfect.
The rain for the iPhone 6 rumors has just started. According to reports from the Japanese newspaper Nikkei, the all-new upcoming iPhone would be available in September and possibly in two versions with screen sizes of 4.7 and 5.5 inches diagonally.
I DO NOT want a bigger screen. Ever since upgrading to 5 I get 'thumb strain'. If I want a bigger screen, I use my iPad. For on the move, I need the iPhone, which
– fits my hand – I can do everything on it with one hand, and that's how I use it
– fits my handbag
– is comfortable to use in tight spaces (the bus).
So please, make a 5 inch version for those people with huge hands, but keep a neat 4 inch version for those of us who like it as it is. In fact, if 6 definitely is big, I'll go out and quickly buy a 5s.
OK.. two phones would be fine, just like everything else Apple makes.. there's a large version and a mini version.. one for you tiny girly handed folks and one 5 inch phone for my gigantic crushing hands!

More Information
mySA.com/sports: Look back on the career of former Sam Houston coach R.A. Johnson, who died Tuesday.
R.A. Johnson was a highly successful football coach at Sam Houston High School, winning 105 games in 14 seasons with eight district championships.
But his on-field triumphs weren't mentioned by those remembering Johnson, who died Tuesday after a battle with lung cancer. He was 70.
Instead, they spoke of his legacy as one of the most highly respected coaches in San Antonio and his work with at-risk players on the East Side.
"R.A. knew those kids came from hard backgrounds, and he understood that those kids didn't always have dinner to eat or clean clothes to wear," former Sam Houston basketball coach Wayne Dickey said. "He knew how and when to push each individual button. He never let kids use what they had or didn't have as an excuse. He made the kids accountable."
Johnson was coach at Sam Houston from 1983-96, leading the Cherokees to a 105-48-2 record and 11 playoff appearances. The Cherokees won eight Class 5A district titles and had a streak of 33 straight district victories from 1987-92.
"He is Sam Houston," said Gary Green, the current football coach at Sam Houston, which changed its mascot to the Hurricanes in 2001. "He saved a lot of young men in this community, put a lot of guys through college. Everybody has so much respect for him."
Johnson, a 1961 Jefferson graduate, is the older brother of former major league baseball player Cliff Johnson.
Visitation begins at 5 p.m. April 19, while funeral services are set for 10:30 a.m. April 20, both at Second Baptist Church, 3313 E. Commerce St.
"He was really engrossed in all of the kids' lives," his wife Francine Prosser-Johnson said. "He always took a genuine interest in everyone he came across. He loved football, but he was using the game to give kids tools to use off the field."
Johnson left Sam Houston in 1997 to become an assistant principal at Highlands.
He returned to coaching for two years in 2003 and 2004, when Fox Tech coach Denny Peel persuaded him to return as a defensive backs coach.
"He'd get everything he could out of a kid. They respected him and loved him because he'd take the time for anything put in front of him," Peel said. "He put his footprint on San Antonio. If you were fortunate to know him, you were better off."

A suggestion to get the most out of your computer under Rs. 6000.
In our country, many people are still on onboard graphics. Many have now started upgrading their systems and single and most effective way to improve a system's 3D performance is by upgrading its graphics card. Generally, people here don't really know what parameter's to look for while buying a graphics card, they think more memory = more performance, which is definitely not true in all cases.
While upgrading a graphics card, here are some points you should keep in mind:
- The purpose
- Your Maximum Budget
- Your existing hardware
You should first decide what you need it for, if you want better aero performance in Vista/Windows 7 or whether you want top notch gaming performance at highest possible resolution. In both cases, you can get totally different cards at a totally different price point.
Now that you have decided your purpose, find out how much you are ready to shell out. Do remember, you may need to upgrade your PSU too, which may add to the cost by some Rs3000 -5000 (in most cases).
Now have a look at what you currently have. If its an ancient P3 system, then just forget it, its better off you buy a full new system instead of the graphics card alone. You basically need to see the compatibility. The main being the availability of a PCI-e slot. You can read your motherboard manual for that.
So now that you have done all the above, lets have a look at the various options in the market. For many first time buyers, Rs6000 or less is the price range. Well, at this price, you will get a decent performance graphics card, but only at lower resolutions like 1440×900 or 1280×1024 in most new games. For a gaming system, Rs6000 is a bare minimum in my book.
So, here are the options in the market:
Nvidia 9600GT – Its a pretty old card, but is still a decent choice as it performs well at lower resolutions. The huge con with this card is that you will need to plug in external power, so your PSU will need a 6pin power connector. Most generic PSUs that come with the cabinet do not have this and hence a new PSU is required. An FSP Saga II 350W PSU would make the cut for this card. It costs about Rs1700 odd. The 9600GT now costs about Rs 5300.
Nvidia GT240 - This card is probably my pick among mid range cards from Nvidia. Its got performance similar to that of a 9600GT, a tad slower though. It however, consumes much lower power and does not require external power connector, so it may run on your generic PSU. Don't get me wrong, I do not recommend that you run the system on you cheap quality PSU, but it is possible and many claim that the system runs without any issues. I would recommend a PSU with at least 18A on the 12V for such cards, check the side of your PSU for these ratings.The card costs Rs5300 for the 1GB variant.
ATI 4670 – This card has been in the market for a long time now , its a pretty good performer, its about the same as the GT240 in terms of performance (a little slower). It has pretty low power consumption and also does not require external power connector, so it may work fine with the generic PSU. A new 4670 costs Rs4100 for the 512MB variant, so its a pretty decent deal.
ATI 5670 – This is easy the fastest among the 4. Its performance matches that of the 9800GT and has low power consumption too. Its the only card here that supports DX11 so that's another pro. The card does not require external power connector. It costs Rs5500 for the 512MB variant and Rs 6200 for the 1GB version.
So, if i were to buy a card from the above, it would definitely be the ATI 5670. Its the best performer here, runs cool and consumes little power, it this price point, I doubt you will get any better deal (exclude 2nd hand items). If you have any doubts about these cards, feel free to ask here.

Make your meal count. Don't watch TV, read, or use the computer while your eating. When I eat at my desk at work while using the computer, I reach for more food and it's gone! I don't even remember eating it. Focus on the meal. Taste the food. You'll eat less and enjoy it more!
I have quit basing my meals on meat and use it to flavor my salads and vegetables. The main focus of the meal is the vegetables which contain less calories and fat.
I have become very focused on leafy green vegetables. It's simple. Breakfast with lettuce. Lunch with spring greens. Dinner with Romaine. Instead of having focus on what I can't eat, I am focused on finding a variety of tasty dishes featuring the meals compliment.
What keeps me motivated is looking at my meals for the next day. Change the foods around to my liking so I look forward to each meal. Make it exciting, not boring and the same ole yogurt or special K for breakfast because thats what commercials say. Keep it simple, but delicious. I get on this site several times a day to look at my upcoming meals - which keeps me focused...and keeps me looking forward to my next meal.

More than half of Egyptians prefer that women wear the Islamic head scarf (Hijab), a recent poll by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research conducted in seven Muslim-majority countries has shown.
The poll, which was published by Pew Research Center, has surveyed Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. It said that 57 percent of Egyptians prefer that a woman completely cover her hair, but not necessarily her face.
The survey treated the question of women's dress as a visual preference, saying that "how women should dress is in public is an important issue in the Muslim world."
In Egypt, only 14 percent of the poll respondents said that a woman should be free to choose how she dresses.
Each respondent was given a card depicting six styles of women's headdress and asked to choose the woman most appropriately outfitted for a public place.
The styles in the card ranged from a fully-hooded burqa and niqab to the less conservative hijab and lastly, a woman wearing no head covering of any type.
Most Egyptian women were hijab and a significantly smaller percentage wear full niqab which covers the whole body of women except for their eyes.
"What the survey leaves unanswered is whether respondents think social or cultural norms will guide women in their choice to wear more conservative or less conservative attire in public," commented Jacob Poushter from Pew Research Center.

Just wondering everyone's ideas on having/owning a double stroller- what do you like and what has worked for you? side by side or all in front style? not sure what to get at this point. don't like anything to heavy since I have back issues but I know they are going to be much heavier than my great little lightwt stroller for one right now.
thanks ladies[:D]

Transcript:How to Clean a Rifle
Hi, my name is Mike Sebbert. I am a lifetime hunter and a member of the NRA and the National Wild and Turkey Federation. I am going to be here today talking to you about how to clean your rifle for About.com.When cleaning a rifle you will need several things; first off REM oil, bore cleaner, you will need a rod the length of your barrel, a wire brush, and a cloth tool, and some wiping cloths.When cleaning your gun there are a few safety tips that you need to think about before starting. Number one, always make sure your gun is empty and in the safe position, now we will take the magazine out, make sure there are no shells, check the chamber, nothing, this gun is clean and ready to go.First things first what we will do is grab a rod, make sure your rod is the same bore length and able to reach down the entire length of the barrel and able to get cleanliness. What we will do now we will take a 22 cleaning brush, we will attach this brush to the rod. Secondly, we will grab some bore cleaner and we will spray the bore cleaner onto the brush. You will insert the brush and the rod into your rifle until it reaches the magazine. I can visually see the brush inside there, I know it has reached the end. Pull it out to the edge and run it down one more time for final cleanliness. Remove the rod, take the brush off of your rod and replace it with a wipe rod piece. What you will take now is a little piece of cloth and there is no need to add any more lubricant to it. You will put the cloth on the end. Now insert this into your barrel and again push it down your barrel until it reaches the magazine. You may now remove it from the magazine, and you can visually inspect for cleanliness. Repeat as necessary in order to get your barrel as clean as you need.Now secondly, we will want to clean the exterior and all of the mechanized products in this in order to keep it functioning. What we will use today is REM oil and we will spray it on all of the mechanized parts such as your trigger, your magazine, and then we will lightly coat any metal on the gun. We will take these patches and we will go over and wipe all excess oil in order to get a nice clean finish.You now have a safe, clean, and ready to use rifle for the next time you go and enjoy target practice or hunting.Thank you for watching and for more tips and tricks on how to clean your rifle check us out on the web at About.com.

We needed the ultimate brush to go with our Super-Saturated Eyeliner, so we meticulously designed this small, angled brush until it had the perfect angled shape and thickness. Even thinner than our Good Karma Liner Brush, this brush is extra precise and extremely versatile. Use it to draw razor-thin lines or bold, thick lines.
Urban Decay Perversion Angled Brush ($16.00) is a medium-thick, angled brush made out of synthetic fibers. It worked well for applying the cream eyeliner just launched, and it is best for medium-thin to medium-thick lines, but if you really want something very thin and precise, I would go for a thinner or more pointed brush.
