Students think beyond engineering as career optionNikhila Henry | TNN | Sep 12, 2013, 01.46 AM IST
HYDERABAD: City students seem to be finally opting for career choices other than technical education.
After intermediate admissions concluded in the state last week, it was revealed that a sizeable chunk of students has opted for courses other than engineering, including medical education, chartered accountancy, commerce and humanities, officials say.
Private college managements which attract a number of intermediate students in the state seem baffled by the drop. "In some branches in Hyderabad, the fall in MPC students is at least 5% when compared to last year. This is definitely beginning of a new trend. And, medical education is being favoured by more number of students than earlier," said principal of a private college in Narayanguda. "This trend can be considered as a starting point of a focus shift from engineering to other professional education," he said.
Hyderabad and rest of Andhra Pradesh has seen mushrooming of tech institutes to cash in on the trend of parents persuading their children to look at engineering as a career option. But interestingly, colleges say there has been a 2-3% drop in the number of MPC (math, physics and chemistry) stream this year, while commerce and humanities have seen an increase in admission.
Students, who opted out of engineering said the future of tech education does not seem to be promising anymore and hence the shift. "Since I was good at math, my parents wanted me to opt for MPC, but I opted for chartered accountancy as the field offers a secure future. I am ready to put in the effort required to clear the national level CA examination," said N V Sanjana Reddy, a student who passed out of Class X this year.
Some students have opted for humanities with an eye on Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination. "Clearing the civil services examination has been my dream and I hope to do well in HEC (history, economics and civics) stream," said N Anirudh, a city student. In humanities and commerce streams offered by city colleges, there is an increase in intake by 3 to 4%, college officials said.
According to the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) data in 2012, a total of 4.5 lakh students opted for MPC stream, but going by the dismal picture portrayed by managers, the number seems to have dropped this year.
In BPC stream (biology, physics and chemistry), college managements are expecting an increase in admissions by 20,000 as against last year's figure of 1.5 lakh. Commerce and humanities streams would amount to over 3 lakh admissions this year as against 2.9 lakh last year.
"In the coming years, more number of students would opt for medical education than engineering even though medical seats are limited in the state," said P Madhusudan Reddy, general secretary, government junior college lecturers' association.
The Board of Intermediate Education (BIE), however, has not got the compiled list of students who have taken admission for first year courses. "Though admissions have been completed, colleges are yet to update the details. By September 20, a complete picture of the total number of students who took admission this year will be officially known," said a BIE official.
This year, a total of 9.5 lakh students have taken admission in 6,150 intermediate colleges in the state. Out of this, 1.7 lakh students have opted for government colleges, 45,000 in government-aided colleges and 1.2 lakh in residential junior colleges. A major chunk of admissions have also taken place in private junior colleges.

Executive in World Cup ticket scalping probe released
RIO DE JANEIRO, (Reuters) – Ray Whelan, the chief executive of a hospitality firm arrested in connection with an investigation into VIP ticket scalping at the World Cup, was released yesterday after spending the night in custody.
His company, MATCH, said the Englishman was released from custody in Rio de Janeiro and that he will assist police with further enquiries.
"MATCH have complete faith that the facts will establish that he has not violated any laws," it said in a statement, adding that Whelan would continue with his work at the World Cup. "MATCH will continue to fully support all police investigations, which we firmly believe will fully exonerate Ray. Whelan was arrested at Rio's beachfront Copacabana Palace hotel as a result of Operation Jules Rimet which has seen 12 people arrested into investigations over the illegal resale of tickets for the tournament.
The investigation has further sullied the reputation of world soccer's governing body FIFA, which already faces allegations of bribery surrounding Qatar's successful bid to host the 2022 World Cup.
MATCH is the main provider of hospitality packages for the World Cup and paid $240 million for the exclusive rights to sell corporate hospitality at the 2010 World Cup and this one.
It has a contract with FIFA until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Philippe Blatter, the nephew of FIFA president Sepp Blatter is the president of Infront, a company which has a 5 percent stake in MATCH Hospitality, one of the two arms of MATCH.
According to its website, MATCH is appointed by FIFA to provide ticketing, accommodation and event information technology at the World Cup.

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

Sharding has become a popular means of achieving scalability in application architectures in which read/write data separation is not only possible, but desirable to achieve new heights of concurrency. The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency. That is, it takes a bit of time to replicate changes initiated by a "write" to the read-only master database. It's eventually consistent, and it'...

Feeding Desire: Design and the Tools of the Table, 1500-2005by Sarah D. Coffin, Ellen Lupton, Darra Goldstein, Barbara Bloemink
Eating is a social ritual. From dinner dates to everyday suppers, casual picnics to lavish feasts, dining brings people together for far more than satisfying the needs of the body. For centuries, cutlery has served as extensions of our hands, enriching how we experience food and the act of eating. Knives, forks, and spoons come between hand and mouth, articulating the experience of dining.
Accompanying an exhibition at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (May 5 - October 29, 2006), Feeding Desire is the first book to showcase the Museum's astonishing permanent collection of American and European cutlery. Complementing and expanding on the content of the exhibition, seven original essays, accompanied by over two hundred lavish color and black-and-white illustrations, relate the surprisingly different histories of the knife, spoon, and fork, and reveal how cutlery has influenced food, fashion, design, mobility, hygiene, and consumption over the centuries. In addition, Feeding Desire looks toward the future of the tools of the table as we progress into the twenty-first century.

Coffee Talk #213: My Biggest Gaming Disappointment of 2010
I've been meaning to write my (not a) review for the "Witch Hunt" DLC for Dragon Age: Origins since last Thursday. I've played it a bunch of times and I'm certainly familiar with it, but for various reasons I haven't pulled the trigger on my (not a) review. Part of it is that I don't have much to say about the game. Here's the short version: it's incredibly disappointing. Here's the long version: the gameplay, graphics, and voice acting are what you'd expect from Dragon Age, but the story -- which was purported to be a grand finale that dramatically reveals the fate of Morrigan -- is a total letdown. There's nothing grand about "Witch Hunt"; it's just another piece of good Dragon Age DLC.

Thanks to WWE NXT, I have found my new "ultimate woman" for the next decade -- AJ Lee. She's obviously a beautiful woman that wrestles, but I've learned that she loves comic books and videogames.

She seems to be the perfect combination of beauty, brains, athleticism, and nerdcore.

More than 400 red and amber light runners have been caught outside Rangitoto College as police aim to keep students safe.
One driver, who doesn't wish to be named, was fined $150 for running an amber light along with hundreds of others and says that's serious revenue gathering.
The woman says the lights were short phasing and only one or two cars could get through on each green light.
"Cars don't have much choice but to rush through," she says.
North Shore area tactical co-ordinator Senior Sergeant Steve Kose confirms there was an issue with the light phasing which was fixed.
He says a plain clothes officer was stationed with a camera outside the school over three or four weeks.
The intersection is one of several hot spots monitored by police and Auckland Council in a red light-running campaign.
Rangitoto College principal David Hodge says drivers running amber and red lights when they are turning right out of Sunrise Ave into East Coast Rd risk hitting students crossing the road to the school entrance.
Mr Hodge says it's an ongoing issue and the school asked for a solution.
"The fact that people are running the lights suggests either they are incredibly irresponsible and they don't mind putting young lives at risk, he says.
"Or there is something fundamentally wrong with the intersection and the way it's configured so people are getting frustrated.
"I prefer to think it's the latter."
Mr Hodge says when the road was widened the school protested that pedestrian safety wasn't taken into consideration.
He was told a pedestrian overbridge was too expensive but that the road had been engineered to keep people safe.
Mr Hodge says either the road needs to be re-engineered or a permanent camera installed.
"Something has to be done," he says.
Earlier in the year the North Shore Times ran a story about Gabrielle McAllister-Lyons who was hit by a red light runner at a crossing just one intersection down from the school in 2009.
She went flying on to the bonnet of the car, smashing her head into the windshield.

A solid outing from the
A solid outing from the bullpen? A W? God, I love this guy.
The moment I remember from
The moment I remember from that series, T, was zambrano catching a soft liner back up the middle with two outs and the bases juiced. I was at that game, it's one of my favorite games I've seen (it's the only time I've seen the opposing left fielder heckled more than the cubs bullpen from my former employer's seats halfway down the third base line).
anyway, Z gave a fist pump after he caught it (it was a pure adrenaline play) and Barry barked some crap back at him. Bonds: 0-1, 2BB (1IBB).
I have an idea for a
I have an idea for a birthday present for Z:
A face picture of Jim Edmonds type to the catchers' chest protector.
Remember the triple that he
Remember the triple that he hit last year? The one with the incredibly graceful dive into third?
I'll always laugh about that.
how bout a big bag of meat?

carlos zambrano is the man
carlos zambrano is the man on this team. there are plenty of great players on the cubs squad this year, but for the next decade i believe this club will go as far as zambrano's arm takes them. he's that good, and that young.
god bless you carlos. god bless you.
I would get Z a nylon net
I would get Z a nylon net for which would not chafe as much when Larry Rothschild has to ride his horse out to the mound to calm him down, and make the tranquilizer darts a little smaller too.

Z's best moment was that
Z's best moment was that homer he hit against Wade Miller at Houston in 2003. It was the turning point of the season.
(I remember being pissed that Dusty let Z hit for himself, too.)
Oh wow, the slide he slid on

WAs it a lineu-out, and I'm mis-remembering it as a strike out, or were there two different instances? I'm pretty darn sure there was also a K.
That was also the series, if I recall, that one of our SPs plunked Barry.
But yeah, I remember Jon Miller being all upset. Now, of course, he celebrates Zambrano's zest.
Hey, there could be some endorsement opportunities there.... Proctor and Gamble need to think of a Zambrano's Zest line for their soap. That commercial would rule!

Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.

Spin Your Own Debian with Live Studio
In the tradition of Nimblex and SUSE Studio comes an alternative for those who prefer Debian. Debian Live Studio allows users to build their own Debian Live system with just a few mouse clicks.
After selecting your preferred options, the server builds and readies your image. Users can select from CD, DVD, USB, or Netboot images.

Will need to check this out...
I'll have to look into this. Currenly I would love to create a Debian-based live distro, but my requirements of custom repos, customized ~/.kde/ and other .config files, and of hand-picked applications just isn't easy to accomplish.
Options such as the Debian Live project are far too complex, while others such as Novo and Reconstructor seem to need a perfect install to create the distro, but then don't use the Debian installer etc when it comes time to use it.
Let's hope this is the best of all worlds?
> Let's hope this is the best of all worlds?
Unfortunately, no it isn't. It spins a pretty standard install, perhaps with a few options but not a ton.
Nice but...
There's not much there that isn't already offered "pre-spun".
The choices are (for those that don't want to register):
Standard Debian GNU/Linux image
GNOME desktop environment
KDE desktop environment
Xfce desktop environment
LXDE desktop environment
Debian GNU/Linux rescue image
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 ("lenny")
Debian GNU/Linux testing distribution ("squeeze")
Debian GNU/Linux unstable distribution ("sid")
ISO image for a CD or DVD
USB / HDD image
i386 (x86_32)
amd64 (x86_64)
No installer integration
"Live" installer integration
Standard installer integration
With those few choices, lets hope they're caching the spin's (if they already haven't created all of them in the first place).

The saga continues with Slackware 14.2
Slackware is the oldest surviving Linux distribution and has been maintained since its birth by Patrick Volkerding. Slackware has a well deserved reputation for being stable, consistent and conservative. Slackware is released when it is ready, rather than on a set schedule, and fans of the distribution praise its no-frills and no-fuss design. Slackware adheres to a "keep it simple" philosophy similar to Arch Linux, in that the operating system does not do a lot of hand holding or automatic configuration. The user is expected to know what they are doing and the operating system generally stays out of the way. The latest release of Slackware, version 14.2, mostly offers software updates and accompanying hardware support. A few new features offer improved plug-n-play support for removable devices and this release of Slackware ships with the PulseAudio software. PulseAudio has been commonly found in the audio stack of most Linux distributions for several years, but that is a signature of Slackware: adding new features when they are needed, not when they become available. In this case PulseAudio was required as a dependency for another package. Slackware 14.2 is available in 32-bit and 64-bit builds for the x86 architecture. There is also an ARM build. While the main edition of Slackware is available as an installation disc only, there is a live edition of Slackware where we can explore a Slackware-powered desktop environment without installing the distribution. The live edition can be found on the Alien Base website. Both the live edition and the main installation media are approximately 2.6GB in size. For the purposes of this review I will be focusing on the main, installation-only edition. Booting from the install media brings us to a text screen where we are invited to type in any required kernel parameters. We can press the Enter key to take the default settings or wait two minutes for the media to continue booting. A text prompt then offers to let us load an alternative keyboard layout or use the default "US" layout. We are then brought to a text console where a brief blurb offers us tips for setting up disk partitions and swap space. The helpful text says we can create partitions and then run the system installer by typing "setup".

This man is DANGEROUS. He is a pathological LIAR. He is INDIFFERENT to the TRUTH, FACTS, EVIDENCE and PROOF. Those are the cornerstones of JUSTICE. Those are the FIRST PRINCIPLES of SCIENCE. This is a glaring EXAMPLE of a NARCISSISTIC SELF-AGGRANDIZING EXAGGERATION. This is two blatant LIES in 18 seconds. The first LIE: "Nobody KNOWS the SYSTEM BETTER than me." That is a blatant LIE. There are many EXPERTS who KNOW the SYSTEM much BETTER than Donald Trump. Then he says, "Which is why I alone CAN fix it." That's NOT TRUE. Most likely he CANNOT fix it. There are others who CAN. That's two blatant LIES in 18 seconds.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Some iPhones developing touch-screen issues
Although the problem does not appear to be widespread, several online reports, as well as a discussion thread on Apple's support site, indicate that some iPhone owners are experiencing what are being referred to as "dead spots" on the device's touch-screen. An analyst report has claimed that the rights for the iPhone's touch-screen technology were purchased from a bankrupt Finnish company that was trying to make a similar device. That company is said to have encountered the problem that with extensive use, the screen's heat-receptive film would begin to degrade and the screen would lose its sensitivity. Apple, while not yet publicly acknowledging the issue, has reportedly been very quick to replace or repair the problem units. If you have any abnormalities with your iPhone's touch-screen, please let us know in the comments.

Mine had a problem with touch sensitivity like a couple of weeks ago, but the problem seems to have fixed itself. weird.
Posted by brent on August 10, 2007 at 4:29 PM (CDT)
mine was acting up so i rest it then it was fine i think that is just got bogged down. i also think that turning the phone off on a semi-regular basis might help against this problem to keep it from over heating.
just my 2 cents
Posted by BIGP on August 10, 2007 at 5:06 PM (CDT)
I had this problem right out of the box with mine. The whole row with You Tube through Weather was not receptive to touch. I was able to just bring it in and get a new one.

No problem with mine at all. And I own one.

This is goofy… So Apple's sold a 1/2 million by now. What's up with giving the 5 or 6 people all of the attention?
This is a great device and, up to now, my phone's worked perfectly and kept a battery charge for a full day or more.
Posted by buz on August 10, 2007 at 9:15 PM (CDT)
Yep I had this issue. A band about 1/2 in thick wend dead on my iPhones screen. Took it to apple today and it was replaced with no hassle. The whole process took about 15 mins. Bad that it happened, but good that it was resolved. I'm still a happy owner.
Posted by mander on August 11, 2007 at 12:40 AM (CDT)
a friend with an iphone THOUGHT he had that problem but his case(with screen cover) was acting as a second finger in certain spots causing his ipod to be unreceptive. some people problems are pretty much in their brain and not understanding a device fully. but if anyone has problems and has a screen cover tryremoving it and replacing it.
Posted by aj on August 11, 2007 at 12:43 AM (CDT)
I have had intermittent problems with the touch screen right where the slider appears to wake it up or answer a phone call. I've actually missed a couple of calls that way.
As I've said though, it's intermittent and sometimes it'll happen once or twice, but after a couple successive tries it works.
Of course, if I take it to the apple store they probably won't be able to reproduce the problem…
Posted by scott Cox on August 11, 2007 at 1:40 AM (CDT)
Mine has completely frozen a couple times, once required me to reset the phone by holding the home button and power/sleep button. Boo. :( Sometimes it's laggy, and sometimes it just doesn't "sense" me the first time. I've missed calls and just generally been annoyed by it.
Posted by Mandy on August 11, 2007 at 2:34 AM (CDT)
The lower part of my screen stopped responding in the keyboard app yesterday. Only in portrait mode. E.g. when I touch "Space" it registers as the letter above it rendering it impossible to write an email or sms. It works fairly well in other apps, but not at all with the kb.
I don't have an Apple Store near me, so I called Apple support last night and they are sending me a loaner while mine goes in for repair.
A real english speaking person answered on the first ring and she waived the $29 loaner fee. Inconvenient? Yes, but not a big deal considering the steps they are taking to correct my problem.
Posted by jb on August 11, 2007 at 7:08 AM (CDT)
i had the exact same problem as jb with my iphone. I was realy frustrated about it. Call apple tech support and offered to look at it and to charge me 29.00 bucks for a lender. I wasnt too crazy about that and they were not foing to wave the fee. So i asked if the process would be faster if i took it an apple store and the lady sajd no but if i wanted it she would make an appointment for the geniuse bar. I said yes. I took it to the apple store, they diagnostic and then they replaced it. Im happy again.

Posted by Matt on August 12, 2007 at 5:57 PM (CDT)
the bottom part of my screen where the dock is and where you unlock the phone is dead so i will being to going to the apple store tomorrow. hopefully to get it replaced.
Posted by BIGP on August 12, 2007 at 8:00 PM (CDT)
my touchscreen died in less than a week. first, I thought it was the screen cover I just put on (although it worked earlier in the day with the screen cover on), as it kept opening up youtube by itself and not responding to anything else. it eventually stopped responding to anything, even after I took it off. exchanged it for a new iphone, but now this one has wifi/edge issues. I've never had an error-free apple product, so this sort of thing is expected.
Posted by fein on August 12, 2007 at 9:29 PM (CDT)
I don't think it's really a "dead spot" issue. I noticed if your finger tips are slightly wet, the on-screen functions don't recognize your touch.
Posted by wonger on August 13, 2007 at 1:09 PM (CDT)
I had this problem and discovered that by turning off the iPhone (by holding the top bottom for several seconds and then turning it off) and then turning it back on, the problem went away.
Much like PC or Computers, once in a while the need to be rebooted :)
Posted by Stephan on August 14, 2007 at 5:49 PM (CDT)
hey just got a brand new iphone when my screen went out. but i think the main cause was the fact that i fell into the lake with it but the only problems it had after about a min of full submersion was screen issues to they are troopers for sure.
Posted by BIGP on August 16, 2007 at 6:53 PM (CDT)
I had my iPhone for about a week when my touchscreen died. I had a horizontal strip running across the blank spont between the clock and the phone buttons. At first I didn't notice it due to that part of the scree not being in use on the home screen but making a call brought it to my attention. Apple was great. I drove to the store showed them the phone and in less than 30 min I had a new phone and they set it up for me again. I was truly impressed but I am glad to know I wasn't the only one.

Gary to celebrate Michael Jackson's birthday
GARY, Ind. - Michael Jackson's boyhood hometown of Gary is getting ready to celebrate his birthday again.
Event promoter Karvin Johnson tells the Post-Tribune that this year's three-day Michael Jackson Tribute Festival of the Arts will focus not only on the famous singer, but also on encouraging new artists.
Johnson says Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, and other family members, including Michael Jackson's children, are scheduled to attend.
The festival kicks off Thursday with an orchestra and choir made up of Gary students singing and playing a medley of Michael Jackson songs. The Gary Community School Corp. conducted an audition last week for the lead singer.
The musical performance will be followed by a ceremony Thursday afternoon at Roosevelt High School that will include remarks by local officials.
