Do you avoid stores that have had a credit card breach?
You are not alone. About 52% of people avoid merchants who have had a data breach according to a recent Lowcards survey. They surveyed over 400 random consumers to better understand the impact of identity theft on consumer behavior. 17% said they or a family member was a victim of identity theft over the last year with half the cases being credit card theft. 94% said they are more concerned or equally concerned about ID theft. They estimate that there were 13.5 million cases of credit card identity theft in the United States over the last 12 months.
These concerns are also changing the way some people shop.
Over half (56%) are taking extra measures to protect themselves from identity theft. Some of these behaviors include using a debit card less (28%), using cash more (25%), ordering online less (26%) and checking their credit report more (38%). These are all reasonable responses to the ever challenging game of protecting your identity and is important since 89% of security breaches and data loss incidents could have been prevented last year, according to the Online Trust Alliance's 2014 Data and Breach Protection Readiness Guide.
The game is changing however, and mobile is the new stadium. Let's check that scoreboard.
Most of the security reports released thus far in 2014, like the Cisco 2014 Annual Security Report and the Kaspersky Security Bulletin 2013 show that threats to mobile devices are increasing. We are using them more and using them for sensitive activities like shopping, banking and storing personally identifiable information. It is no wonder that the thieves are targeting mobile and getting very good at it. Kaspersky's report talks about the rise of mobile botnets and the effectiveness since we never shut off our phones. They are always ready to accept new tasks either from us or, a foreign remotely controlled server with SMS trojans leading the pack. Mobile trojans can even check on the victim's bank balance to ensure the heist is profitable and some will even infect your PC when you USB the phone to it.
Distribution of exploits in cyber-attacks by type of attacked application
I guess the good news is that people are becoming much more aware of the overall risks surrounding identity theft and breaches but will the convenience and availability of mobile put us right back in that dark alley? Mobile threats are starting to reach PC proportions with online banking being a major target and many of the potential infections are delivered via SMS messages. Sound familiar?
Maybe we can simply cut and replace 'PC' with 'Mobile' on all those decade old warnings of:

[session] Don't Forget the Ops: Build Operations into Your Cloud By @BMCSoftware | @CloudExpo #Cloud

Publisher's Description
Sixteen-year-old Kevin Colvin, burdened by his parent's fighting, the recent death of his best friend and slipping grades, despairs that he's just "a waste of space on this planet. Is this a passing thought or is he about to seriously contemplate suicide?
Do you know any students like Kevin who are caught in the downward emotional spiral of disappointment to discouragement to despair? What can you say or do to help? What do they need most right now? Perhaps more than any time in their lives they need a "911 friend"-a friend who " is always loyal and a brother [and sister who] is born to help in time of need" (Prov. 17:17).
Through the aid of a gripping true-to-life story, Josh McDowell along with Ed Stewart offers biblical insights and practical instruction on what your friend can do when plagued with passing thoughts of ending it all. But more importantly, you will discover how to become a true source of help and encouragement to lift him or her from discouragement and despair. This book is designed for you to read first and then give to your friend.
And if you are that person struggling with despair, you can learn how to find that light at the end of the dark tunnel you seem to be in. For you will discover how important you are to God and to those around you, especially to the friend who gave you this book.

An Iranian-born Auckland man who murdered his wife's new partner after bugging their apartment and listening to them having sex has had his jail term increased to a 15-and-a-half year minimum.
Mohammed Hamid-Zadeh pleaded guilty in August 2011 to murdering his friend Farasad Razani by stabbing him 59 times.
He was jailed for life with a minimum non-parole period of 12-and-a-half years after Justice Patricia Courtney ruled that despite the brutality of the attack - which would normally require a 17-year-minimum - Hamid-Zadeh was affected by having just listened to his wife have sex with the victim.
She took a 15-year starting point and from there reduced the sentence to 12-and-a-half years for personal factors and his early guilty plea.
Hamid-Zadeh's wife moved in with Razani after she separated from her husband.
They hid their relationship from Hamid Zadeh and asked him to move into their one-bedroom apartment with them to show that nothing was amiss.
He did so but he left a recording device in the apartment while he was at work.
One night in September 2010, Hamid-Zadeh came home and listened on his recorder and heard the pair having sex.
An hour later, with knives in each hand, he stabbed Razani 59 times and then waited an hour before calling emergency services.
Both Crown and defence appealed the sentence with the defence saying life in prison was manifestly unjust because of the decreased culpability due to provocation.
The Crown said the judge was too lenient and should have enacted the 17-year-minimum brutality clause.
The lengthy Court of Appeal judgement released yesterday is likely be cited for years to come as it deals with the issue of provocation.
Government abolished the partial defence in the wake of the Sophie Elliot murder trial where the public was horrified by murder-accused Clayton Weatherston trying to argue that he had been provoked into killing the young Otago student.
Provocation is still allowed to be taken into account in sentencing, however.
Defence lawyer Belinda Sellars argued that the concept of provocation was long-standing and was "a recognition of human frailty".
"She submitted that, notwithstanding the repeal of the partial defence, there was a clear difference in culpability between the offender who lashes out in a frenzy of passion and impulsivity, and a cold-blooded killer."
Crown lawyer Matthew Downs submitted that "Parliament must be taken to have rejected the proposition that reasonable people kill when they are provoked".
"Many men (and women) hope for a reconciliation when a relationship ends but...very few react with homicidal anger when this does not come to pass.
"Although Mr Hamid-Zadeh's serious upset when he learned of Ms E's adultery might explain his actions, they did not diminish them."
The Court of Appeal agreed and said the end of a relationship "could not have justified Mr Hamid-Zadeh's extreme reaction".
The court said the judge was right to engage the 17-year-minimum clause but she was wrong to have reduced the sentence for provocation.
"The frenzied nature of the attack did not somehow make Mr Hamid-Zadeh less culpable or render the attack less brutal. It was a deliberate murder and Mr Hamid-Zadeh had to be sentenced as such."
The court ruled the judge should have used 17 years as her starting point and only allowed the 18-month discount for his guilty plea.
The new sentence substituted was life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 15 years, six months.

Indie darling Twisted Pixel -- known for games such as 'Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, and The Maw -- didn't quite fit the "indie" bill over the past few years. That's because in 2011, the Austin, Texas-based team became a subsidiary of Microsoft Studios. Being owned by Microsoft is as un-indie as it gets.

Twisted Pixel gets some of that cred back today, as it has separated itself from the Redmond publisher. IGN reported the news, but there's not a lot to say about it apart from the fact that Twisted Pixel is independent again. No mention of monetary stakes were made.

Despite the split, it seems as if relationships weren't fractured. Bill Muehl, executive producer at Twisted Pixel, said "This transition has been in the works for a few months, with both parties working together to lay the groundwork for us to spin out and become independent again. We're looking forward to the new relationships and platforms this will open up to us and continuing our strong partnership with Microsoft on future titles for their platforms."

Twisted Pixel, while undoubtedly great at creating games that are charming and critically well-received, has not had a large commercial success in quite some time (if ever). With that mindset, it's easy to see why Microsoft didn't take too much issue setting the studio free. It has been two years since Twisted Pixel's last game LocoCycle released, which was somewhat of a flop. Hopefully this new-found independence gets the developer making games that are both lovable and profitable.

Twisted Pixel's Lococycle is a rather polarizing game. Chris seemed to enjoy it. I, on the other hand, did not. Judging by the treatment that Microsoft's giving it, the general public appears to be just as divided.

Major Nelson wrote on his website today that Lococycle on Xbox One will receive a permanent price reduction of 50 percent - from $20 down to $10. This is after the game came out on November 21, 2013 -- about two and a half months ago. Yikes.

It's possible that Microsoft is doing this to match the price of the Xbox 360 version which releases on February 14. However, you can't help but think that if it were selling well on Xbox One, there's no way anyone in their right mind would offer it up on discount.

An flurry of supposed Xbox leaks in the net, with one pointing to a likely commercial release of white Xbox One's. The UK is definitely getting Slim Vita's, but maybe not getting multiple colors. Octodad: Dadliest Catch is out and you should probably go play that. Also, it's got this weird trailer. Nintendo continues its struggle for the attention of the masses by announcing DS games for the Wii U Virtual Console, but also wants to give that whole health monitoring peripheral concept another go. Sony continues it's streak of strong PlayStation Plus content. And, Twisted Pixel has announced that LocoCycle will also be headed to 360 and PC, releasing on Valentine's Day.

McDonald's is gearing up to begin its new One Hot Holiday promotion on December 3 that features Xbox One bundles as its grand prize. That's not so crazy; it seems like every corporation is running some sort of contest to win next-gen consoles. However, McDonald's also happens to be giving away a whole lot of copies of Twisted Pixel titles.

According to the contest's rule page, some winners will receive a code to download either The Maw or Ms. Splosion Man. The odds of receiving this are one in four, and a total of 35 million of each will be distributed. Another 14.5 million copies of Aqua are also in the mix.

This is a great opportunity to introduce some fantastic Twisted Pixel titles to some people that otherwise might not have had any exposure to the quirky developer. The only catch is that you have to eat McDonald's to stand a chance.

Twisted Pixel's launch title for Xbox One, LocoCycle, already stands out by way of its premise alone, in which an unfortunate mechanic is literally dragged into a conflict involving sentient motorcycles. Today, they've announced something which sounds almost as strange in the modern games industry. According to a post on the game's developer blog, LocoCycle, "makes use of extensive live action sequences," in the telling of the story.

Live action scenes have all but disappeared from videogames as rendering technology has improved and in-engine cutscenes became the norm, so this will probably help LocoCycle to stand out even further. Plus, it has a great cast, including James Gunn (The Specials) and the legendary Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead).

For a while now, I've had the urge to play a Spy Hunter-like game. (But not, oddly enough, an honest-to-goodness, actual Spy Hunter -- trust me, I've tried.) I'm starting to look toward Twisted Pixel for a helping hand.

LocoCycle is yet another unusual project from the makers of 'Splosion Man and Comic Jumper. At this point, it's becoming easier to pin down what makes a Twisted Pixel production, despite the studio's willingness to experiment with genres. Common themes and all that jazz. You probably know if you're into these dudes' work or not by now.

This Xbox One launch title (which will also be out on Xbox 360) isn't going to wow anyone, visually, but I got a kick out of its arcade-y, high-speed driving and shooting, and performing mid-air combos by hammering away on a gamepad was enjoyable. Twenty bucks? Eh. I might bite, if for no other reason than to see the new Beard intro.

Twisted Pixel has announced that an update is live for Ms. Splosion Man on iOS, offering up cross-device save support, an improved in-game economy, an updated UI, and bug fixes. Additionally, the game will be on sale for $0.99 for a limited time.

If you were wondering whether or not to pick this up, it's actually not a horrible deal for $0.99 if you can cope with the fairly horrid mictrotransaction system that's in place. If they were eliminated entirely it would be an instant recommendation, because the controls actually work quite well -- which is a bit of a shame.

After seeing Twisted Pixel's LocoCycle at multiple trade shows in the past, we were finally able to go hands-on with the game on the Xbox One. It's going to be a downloadable launch title when Microsoft's new console is released, with an Xbox 360 release to follow some time later.

So how's the game? Fun! It's got the charm that makes all Twisted Pixel games enjoyable.

The upcoming Road Rash-esque LocoCycle is now headed to the Xbox One as a launch title, with the original Xbox 360 version pushed to a "further date," according to Twisted Pixel. It'll be launched as a "digital exclusive" through the "New" Xbox Live marketplace on the Xbox One, whenever that launch may be.

Sadly, there were no hints dropped as to when that is, but all bets are on for Microsoft to provide that information on Monday morning during their press conference. I liked what I saw of LocoCycle, and considering the developer described the combat as "Bayonetta-esque," I'm definitely watching out for this one.

A mere two weeks ago, it was announced that a bundle of four Twisted Pixel games would arrive on the Xbox Live Marketplace. At the time, details were scarce, as the date and price weren't yet revealed. Today, everything becomes crystal-clear.

Just this morning, the four-pack showed up on Microsoft's digital service at a surprisingly reasonable price of 800 Microsoft Points ($9.99). The games included are The Maw, 'Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, and Ms. Splosion Man.

Anyone that's held out on seeing what Twisted Pixel is all about would do well to give this try. In my opinion, any single game here is worth $10; all four for that price is just a downright steal.

Accompanying the just-released iOS version of Ms. Splosion Man, the lighthearted platformer is also now available for Steam (Windows only), Games for Windows, and Windows Phone 7. The pricing on those first two ports is $9.99, while the WP7 game takes the same approach as iPhone with its $2.99 asking price.

Based on Chris' review of Ms. Splosion Man iOS and my prior experience with the original Xbox Live Arcade release, I'd recommend going with the title on Windows proper for the cooperative campaign. The folks at Twisted Pixel know how to put together a solid co-op showing to the point where I enjoy those levels more than anything else in the series.

Ms. Splosion Man is one of my favorite platformers to date. Like the original, it's charming, engaging challenging, and really put Twisted Pixel on the map for me.

The mobile version translates most of the magic of the original to iOS in favor of serviceable touch controls, and a smoother graphical output. But it also shows the darker side of mobile gaming quite well.

Twisted Pixel Games' four Xbox Live Arcade titles -- The Maw, 'Splosion Man, Ms. Splosion Man, and Comic Jumper -- are going to be bundled together digitally, it was announced this week. Strangely, there's no real details yet in terms of pricing or release dates, but that info is supposed to be coming soon and we do know that the games will be offered at a discounted price.

If on the off chance you were thinking of buying any of these, hold that thought, and wait for the bundle. Overall, I liked them all -- though come to think of it, I never did finish Ms. Splosion Man.

In addition to checking out a playable build of Ms. Splosion Man, I also had the chance to view a private hands-off demo of LocoCycle, showing off about ten minutes of gameplay.

To say that LocoCycle's theme is insane is pretty much an understatement. It was just revealed last week that actor Freddy Rodriguez would be playing the main character Pablo -- an unwitting part of the duo that consists of him, and sentient motorcycle I.R.I.S.

Pablo is attached to I.R.I.S. by his leg, as he's dragged by her throughout the game. The portion I was able to see was very early in the story, when Pablo was erratic, scared out of his mind boosting at incredible speeds.

As the desert-themed level progressed, Pablo started to get more involved in fighting foes, whipping out his wrench and slapping enemies around with it. One particular part involved Pablo using a contextual swipe to clear out some bikers.

Today I had a chance to meet up with Twisted Pixel developer Mike Wilford, and talk a bit about the new iOS port of Ms. Splosion Man, including some hands-on time with the game.

Mike started by stating that on current iPads, the port will run at a solid 60fps, which I was able to see first-hand (the iPhone 5 version will run a little slower, on par with 45-50 fps, I was told). All things considered, this version looks better than the XBLA original, which ran at a slower rate.

You'll be able to control the action through two virtual direction buttons -- left and right, as well as 'sploding (ie jumping) by tapping anywhere on the right hand side of the screen. Since the game is part rhythm oriented anyways, tapping in time with some of the trickier jumps felt pretty natural, and extremely fun on a touch screen.

In the wake of massive studio closures these past few years, not to mention other eye-opening events like John Riccitello's resignation as CEO of Electronic Arts, it's hard to have a positive outlook on the industry's future. Three years ago, I myself predicted a lot of what has come to pass, although I now admit my tone may have been slightly harsh. So the writing's on the wall and gaming is going to die, right? Errr... not quite.

In a guest feature over on The PA Report, Twisted Pixel lead designer Dan Teasdale explained that while the current state of affairs is nowhere near ideal, only certain sectors of the industry are receiving the brunt of the punishment. Teasdale collected as much information as he could regarding layoffs and closures in 2012, then he compared the data against other factors in order to paint a much more accurate picture of the environment. His findings are quite fascinating.

Roughly 2.42% of all game devs were laid off last year, which is actually less than what other industries like IT and aviation experienced. Of the game studios affected, those that primarily focus on MMO or social game development were greatly impacted -- as it turns out, producing titles that score 80+ on Metacritic is not enough to save some of these places. High scores better reflect success in the console space, although companies that sit in the 70-80 range typically undergo staff reductions. This lends truth to the notion that mid-tier production is weakening and that you either need to produce a big AAA hit or start shopping around for a new gig.

LocoCycle is well underway, and a new video has just been released to acclimate us with Freddy Rodriguez, the voice actor who plays the part of Pablo.

Twisted Pixel sat Rodriguez down to introduce his often out-of-control character. The studio apparently had to resort to some crafty and underhanded techniques to get Rodriguez on-board for the project.

Rodriguez probably feels just as confused as poor Pablo does.

There's going to be a new Xbox 360 320GB hard drive on sale this March for $129.99, and it's going to include three full games with it. The included titles are Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Ms. Splosion Man, and Pinball FX2 with the Sorcerer's Lair table.

Ms. Splosion Man and Pinball FX2 are games that any Xbox 360 user should have in their collection. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is also an awesome inclusion thanks largely to it being a Criterion made game. Sure, it's a bit old, but still a ton of fun.

You guys remember FMV games, right? Well, even I remember them, and I'm the resident baby here at Destructoid. FMVs were interactive movies that, you guessed it, used full-motion videos. Think Dragon's Lair but with real actors on real sets. They were know for being really expensive and being pretty awful, for the most part.

No one makes FMV games these days (for good reason), but leave it to the guys at Twisted Pixel to bring them back with The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles for Windows 8. In this launch trailer alone, it's pretty clear they were able to capture that late-90s FMV cheesiness, while still adding their own insane, hilarious Twisted Pixel twist to it (see what I did there?). There's cowboys, aliens, people shooting lasers, and I'm not even sure what else.

After I'm finished with finals this week, I think this will be the first I game I sit and treat myself to playing. The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles looks like the most insane fun I'll ever have for $1.49.

I have a Windows Phone now, so it's my duty to post about Windows Phone games on Destructoid until I'm "over" it and go back to looking at stuff on Steam. Until that time, you can enjoy trailers such as the one above. It's for Gunstringer: Dead Man Running.

Yeah, it's basically Temple Run with that guy from that Kinect game.

It doesn't look like it'll set the world on fire, but I'll more than likely download it. I've enjoyed what scant quality games are on WP8, and if this one is even halfway decent, I'll be glad of it. Chickens Can't Fly won't sustain me forever.

I have always enjoyed games that are a little out there in terms of its story, and who aren't afraid to break that fourth wall so hard that it leaves in shambles. That's why whenever I hear anything about an game from Twisted Pixel, my ears perk.

Twisted Pixel has decided to take The Gunstringer's spin-off DLC, The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles and port it over to both Windows 8 and Windows RT platforms. That's right, you can get your Twisted Pixel fix on the go...so long as you have a Surface tablet. This Mad Dog McCree inspired rail shooter places you in the role of Wavy Tube Man Jr. on a mission to save his father from death's cold and marionetted fingers.

On your mission through time, you will encounter a variety of enemies from no-good outlaws to warriors of the future; and all using Twisted Pixel's glorious "graphiz" technology. No word on a set release date for it on the Windows Store, but the price for this little slice of hilarity will be $1.49. It is still cheaper, and possibly more entertaining, than that Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford cowboy romp.

The first thing I checked out at PAX this year was Twisted Pixel's Lococycle, which was just revealed (in terms of gameplay, at least) a few days beforehand. At a glance, the game is pretty ridiculous, and upon closer inspection, it's actually even more ridiculous. Well, you know. It's about on par with a man made of explosions or a motion-controlled Mexican skeleton puppet cowboy. Hamza also wrote up some impressions of it right here.

Twisted Pixel is showing off LocoCycle for the first time ever to the public here at PAX, and it just looks insane. The game kind of feels like if Spy Hunter and Batman: Arkham City had hot, messy, unprotected sex on the bathroom floor of a biker bar. How's that for a goddamn box quote?

No, but seriously. LocoCycle looks great. The demo kicked off with pure absurdity that had me instantly laughing out loud. Oh, that Twisted Pixel charm is ever present.

Here's the last episode of The Destructoid Show before we all go to Seattle for PAX oh my goodness I'm so excited it's just frustrating.

Guild Wars 2 is a thing that is happening all of a sudden, Bethesda's newest Skyrim DLC Hearthfire lets you play house, Borderlands 2 has some hot new pre-order bonuses, the fancy rich-kid editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops II have been unveiled. Finally, we get our first look at Lococycle, the latest from Twisted Pixel.

In Twisted Pixel's new game LocoCycle, you play as a sentient motorcycle named I.R.I.S. Very little about the title has been discussed so far, but the title will get its public debut at PAX Prime 2012 later this week. For now, we've got gameplay footage and a second video which shows the game's voice cast.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on or why that person is being dragged, but the fact that they don't (to my knowledge) explicitly explain who he is makes me laugh. Based on this trailer, LocoCycle looks like Spy Hunter with hit combos. I'm ... interested, actually.

Twisted Pixel will be bringing real-life I.R.I.S. and S.P.I.K.E. motorcycles built by Southern Metal Choppers and Legacy Effects to PAX at booth #3012. There will also be gameplay demonstrations where more is hopefully made clear.

One of the new games Microsoft announced at its E3 2012 press briefing yesterday morning was Twisted Pixel's LocoCycle, the studio's sixth original IP. Here's the short teaser trailer from the show.

The titular motorcycle is apparently called "I.R.I.S.," and she's quite the capable vehicle -- equipped with nuclear technology, cloaking abilities, martial-arts training, and knowledge of over 50 languages, I.R.I.S. is ready for any challenge.

That's all Twisted Pixel is saying for now; LocoCycle isn't even at E3, but the Microsoft-owned studio is promising more details at PAX Prime. We'll be there to check it out!

Leave it to Twisted Pixel to make me wet with excitement with just one teaser. LocoCycle will see you playing as a motorcycle that graduated valedictorian from assassination school. Knowing the beards at Twisted Pixel, the game will feature their wonderful sense of humor and great characterization.

Hopefully there's something a bit more substantial on the show floor.

I hope you've been practicing the Ms. Splosion Man table on Pinball FX2, because Zen Studios has teamed up with Twisted Pixel to put on another high score tournament. Starting on May 18th, all you have to do to enter is play a round between then and May 25th.

The first, second, and third place players will receive Microsoft Points, a download code for Marvel Pinball Avengers Chronicles, and the truly awesome Ms. Splosion Man slingshot plushie. If you're not a pinball wizard, you will of course still be entered into a random drawing for other various prizes that Zen Studios will be giving out.

I've been really getting into pinball again lately, and the Ms. Splosion Man table has been one of my go-to table as of most recently. Destructoid's resident pinball nerd Conrad Zimmerman has an absolutely insane score for this table (and just about every table), so my goal for this tournament is to somehow at least beat his score. Anybody have any tips to get an impressive score on this one?

Twisted Pixel has announced that Ms. Splosion Man is coming to additional platforms with a little help from developer friends Iron Galaxy, Fire Hose Games, and Panic Button. On PC (Games for Windows Live and Steam), you can expect to find 50 single-player and 50 co-op (local and online) levels, ghost replays, and more. As for iPhone, iPad and Windows Phone 7, the game will have "familiar content but all new features, objectives, and gameplay modes."

"This will be our first mobile game, and only our second Steam game," says Twisted Pixel co-founder Michael Wilford. "But it's very important to us that we have great content on these high-end platforms, so these new versions are being painstakingly crafted to be as awesome as possible. We're planning a lot of post-launch updates and support to make sure we get it right."

I'm reasonably sure that half of the reason these ports are happening is so that Twisted Pixel can continue to play dress up and call it "work." We need to get in on this scheme.

Watch as Max and I run down what games will be shown off and which of those you definitely won't want to miss (assuming you're attending).

I won't be there, unfortunately, so instead I'm relying on Max to answer my most pressing questions. Meaning, I requested more information on face stabbing in War of the Roses. And that's about it.

So the thingy is, doing a clear restore- update all outdated apps- and charge overnight? Are you on 6.1?

Please stat that particular system status app ur referring so the others might as well figure out the culprit of all this battery consuming.!

in response to Joelloh56
I am on 6.1, the problem started under 6.02 a few weeks ago. I first tried the restore and used a prior backup. Did not work.
The app is called System Status. There is a free (lite) version. I got the $1.99 version. Here's the link:
Again, under iPhone 5, the app showed no unusual CPU usage, but it did when I had a battery problem with the iPhone 4.

So if restoring isn't helping, u mean by updating all outdated apps helps you to get all the amazing battery life?
Please keep update of ur status
Only XM Jan 31, 2013 8:09 AM
in response to Joelloh56
Sort of. I always update my apps. It was not until the last two I mentioned above that the phone seems to be running as it should. My guess -- and it's only a guess -- is that some app was affecting the battery life. I expected to see it in the CPU usage of the System Status app, but did not. Can an app cause a conflict and adversely affect the battery? Maybe. But I can tell you up until the last two apps were updated, it was running very warm to hot, and draining incredibly fast. It's been less than two days, but it seems OK. The last app I updated was the Apple REMOTE app. If you have that app, try updating or deleting it to see if it helps (you can always add it again). I cannot say for sure if that app was the cause, or perhaps until it was updated it conflicted with another....

I've been experiencing short battery life on iphone 5 too and its really bothering me. I always charged it overnight and it was 100% in the morning, and its 4pm now and i only have 12% left. The battery wont even last me the whole day! I didnt do anything special on my phone and i constantly close all the apps after using it. The LTE is off and i updated my phone to iso 6.1, my sister has the 4s with iso 6.1 too and at the end of the day, she will have about 30% left while i have none. Is this a common software problem or should i go in the apple store to exchange it?

OK. Wow.
Yesterday after 15h standby and 7h of use I had like 30% in the end of the day.
Today- after 7standby and 4of use - 20% now.
Where is the problem?!?!
I just noticed that if I use clash of clans game too many times my battery drains much faster! But I actually only play like 5 min and then close the game- yeah: close. And after some time(1-2h) I play another 5 min.
SO I was playing the game today for ~30-40 min MAX.

Budget success
The South East Queensland Mayors (SEQ) has campaigned successfully for a fair chunk of infrastructure funding for their region.
The organisation responded positively to the Federal Budget handed down on May 3.
Major SEQ infrastructure priorities to get the green light in the Budget included the Ipswich Motorway - Darra to Rocklea Upgrade and the Pacific Motorway - Coomera Interchange.
The Brisbane to Melbourne Inland Rail corridor received a commitment of $594 million in equity funding.
The projects have been regional priorities for some time, and were heavily pushed during the Council of Mayors' (SEQ) most recent Canberra delegation.
Council of Mayors (SEQ) Chair Graham Quirk said the residents and businesses of SEQ are big Budget winners.
"The Council of Mayors (SEQ) has long pushed for strategic investment in our region, and the infrastructure that drives it, to deliver a strong and growing national economy. This Budget and the Turnbull Government's Smart Cities agenda are big steps in the right direction.
"This year's Budget and the recently released Smart Cities Plan pave the way for a real partnership between our region and all levels of government, particularly in the funding and delivery of major infrastructure.
"SEQ stands ready and willing to work with the Federal and State Governments to deliver the best, most productive infrastructure for our region in a cost effective and timely way," said Mayor Quirk.
The Council of Mayors (SEQ) also welcomed confirmation of ongoing funding for a number of previously announced regional priorities including the Bruce Highway Upgrade, Gateway North Upgrade, Toowoomba Second Range Crossing, Moreton Bay Rail Link and Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 2.

My SO and I lost our baby last Friday. We are trying to plan a memorial service for her and are struggling to even get started. We don't even know what the bulletins should look like or include. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated as we want our little angel's day to be perfect. Thanks for your help.
Memorial Service Ideas?

I dont know how old your baby was,
we had a 9 month old so we took a lot of her pictures and put them up on poster board, and we had blank book that we put a note next to saying write whatever you want: prayers, memories, well wishes etc.
if i can figure out how to do it i can send you a scan of the little flyer we had given out at the funeral home. In her casket, we had her favorite toys and one of her pretty quilts. we also had orchids set up around her and the room
Im so sorry, i hope this helps. If you have anymore questions i can try to help
Our daughter was 4 mos. old. We had lots of photos of her set up near the casket. We also had a video playing that had photos of her. We didn't really have any bulletins, just the little photo obituary things the funeral home makes. A lady from our church sang "Jesus Loves Me" and a contemporary version of "Amazing Grace." The lady really adored our daughter and held her every time she was at church, so it was very special. A young man from our church played Amazing Grace on the harmonica. He is in a wheel chair and has spina bifida. Our daughter had Down syndrome, so the young man's participation in the service meant a lot to us. It's hard to explain to those who don't have children with special needs, but it was a very neat moment.
Many of the men at the service wore pink ties at the request of my DH. DH spoke at the service. He managed to get through it without crying too much, and he did a wonderful job. My dad also spoke, and our pastor did the rest of the service. We had the funeral home play our instrumental lullaby CD for the background music during the viewing/visitation. At the end of the service, we placed one of our baby girl's dolls in the casket with her. On its dress were the words, "Little Angel." At the cemetery, we sang Jesus Loves Me and released pink balloons.

Our daughter was stillborn at 36 weeks. We put together a book of all of her ultrasound pictures (we had lots since it was a high risk pregnancy) and wrote a narrative about her life - the little nicknames we had for her, her incessant kicking, etc. We wanted to celebrate her best we could.
I'll send it to you if you want - friend me. :)

Thank you for the ideas. I'm sorry, I should have given more information. Our little girl was also a high risk pregnancy, she had fetal hydrops. She was stillborn at 27 weeks.
My little girl was 3 years old. Our church put together the funeral service for me so that I did not have to put my mind on it. I bought frames and framed some of my favorite photos, they surrounded one large photo of her. There was an album that I put together one night that was filled with every professional portrait she had taken throughout her little life. We had a celebration of Gracie tea in the hall beneath the church after the funeral service ended, and my mom group organized a cooking/baking day and they put together a huge beautiful spread for Gracie's service.. One of the mom's also put together a scrapbook that visitors that could look at.
I had tried to put together a slideshow of Gracie, but found it very difficult to complete - so it has been put off and it will be played on her birthday (coming up in 4 months).
Her casket was surrounded by flowers, and a couple of pictures of her. Amazing Grace was played as we followed her casket in and out of the church. It has been her song at birth, and her song at her death - a song so very important to me.

Expecting sweet�bean on April 10th, 2011!!
We played a video of pictures of her still shots that were done in black and white and also pictures from her being alive. We creamed her I needed to bring my baby home and just couldn't put her in the cold ground she wasn't in very good shape after the autopsy and an open casket would of been to hard for many.
If you are looking for music I have many songs just go to www.playlist.com/playlist/190225379...; you can look through and see if any match what your are needing. We also let go 44 pink balloons fly in the sky for how many days my little girl was alive. My husband let go of the first remembering her birth and then family let go of a few then some of our dear friends and I let go of the last remembering the day she passed. We also had a table with many things that were hers and a book so people could write in the heart felt memories and feelings.
Sending you and your family all the love in my heart if you need anything just ask. I am so sorry for your loss.
www.playlist.com/playlist/19022537995 the songs are yours just take them so many good ones for just this.

Thank you all for all of your ideas. Our memorial service tomorrow and my SO did a great job in all of the planning. I think it will be perfect. Thank you so much, we used a lot of your ideas!

The southern most region of Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway, is one of the country's great destinations for anyone looking to explore the nation's natural and historical wonders. This part of the country is punctuated with quaint market and harbour towns, whose hotels, B&Bs, and guesthouses make for the perfect place to base your explorations from. Some of the region's most prized relics and cultural sites include the Robert Burns Centre and Caerlaverock Castle in Dumfries, as well as Castle Kennedy in Stranraer and Dundrennan Abbey in Kirkcudbright, all of which are set amidst the region's idyllic landscape.
Visit Glenluce Abbey in Stranraer
The ruins of Glenluce Abbey are what remain of a 13th century Cistercian abbey, and sit in the beautiful and serene valley of the Water of Luce. Visitors can see the abbey's museum of monastic life as well as a 16th century chapter house, all while treading the same tracks of famed Scottish historical figures such as Robert Bruce, James IV, and Mar Queen of Scots.
To book your stay at any of the region's hotels and plan your local activities be sure to use the Expedia search tool. Before long you'll find yourself roaming the beautiful landscape of the southern Scottish countryside.
