"This is a far bigger loss for Apple than Motorola..."
Sounds good! :)

wonder what theyre losing

The ability to assert these patents against Moto ever. One less avenue to a bogus ban.

no, this is a loss just for Apple....Motorola was just defending.....so this is a great relief for Google....probably this is the beginning of the end of this iRotten behaviour of Apple and the competition can begun with complete destruction of non innovative and backward Apple iPhone and iPad :)

Seems like the judges in the US have been doing their homework lately:)
5. Hammerfest (Posts: 383; Member since: 12 May 2012)
Common sense occuring in US courtroom's in the last month or so... I feel TERRABLY off balance...
Can someone check "the force"? How about those exhaust ports? Did Apple forget to pay its normal "under the table" fees? Did they miss the memo about the price hike in "pay-off" fees?
Color me confused at the SANE judges for this past month in some of these case's...
This gives me hope for the Apple V Samsung case's... a very small amount... but nope none-the-less!

What, you mean apple can't prove the harm of android phones featuring "data detectors" when they sold 100+ ios devices? You know, like when Tim Cook says we can't make enough to meet demand???
Say it ain't so!

Apple`s Wile E Coyote moment this. I`d have loved to have seen the expression on Timmy Cook`s face when he heard the news.

Oracle v. Google
Customs releasing the HTC phones
Apple v. Motorola
I'm regaining some faith in the system.

thank god for a judge that wont put up with nonsense.
so, itrolls, now that apple has been slapped down YET AGAIN for excessive court bullying without merit, are any of you ready to see what we've been trying to show you? That apple is rotten fruit that dose not innovate, they only legislate.
Nuthin but a bully thats upset because someone took away its lollipop.

Did you read the article? They said the case was dismissed due to BOTH parties. Your idea of bullying is laughably naive.

"as Motorola's countersuit was merely an attempt to gain leverage to prevent Apple from shutting them out of the U.S."
Thats from the article.....
62. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
motorola was countersuing to get leverage in the lawsuit. i do believe that was even mentioned in the article. they would not have sued in the first place had apple not bullied them in the court. get a grip.
71. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
"apple not bullied them in the court" can you prove this.. thanks for your troll opinion.. remix.. but even the writer of the articles disagrees with your nonsense

" as Motorola's countersuit was merely an attempt to gain leverage to prevent Apple from shutting them out of the U.S. "

I don't think it's fair to say Apple doesn't innovate - while much of what they do is taking existing ideas and polishing them to the nth degree, the way they can simplify computing experiences and make them connect with users is certainly a form of innovation.
On the other hand, they certainly don't innovate as much (or in as much of a vacuum) as their diehard fans seem to believe. And I have to agree that they have been little short of a bully when it comes to litigation.
19. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
Exactly, Apple has never come up with an original idea. They steal from others, polish the idea, make it user friendly then patent it. Apple blatantly stole the mouse from Xerox and they were able to get away with it because Xerox didn't think it was important enough to patent.

Did you miss the part where Xerox got 1 million shares for the technology?
36. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
"So Jobs proposed a deal: he would allow Xerox to buy a hundred thousand shares of his company for a million dollars—its highly anticipated I.P.O. was just a year away—if PARC would "open its kimono.
First of all it's only 100,000 shares which Xerox PAID Apple $1 million for the shares.
Second all he got from Xerox was a tour.
Third read the article carefully.
39. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
If you read more than one article and knew the history Apple payed for the technology. Nothing was stolen.
42. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
Nothing? hahahahahahahaha
But seriously do you have an article from a source as reliable as The New Yorker that says otherwise? If not then I see no reason to believe that you statement is factual.

Apple just stole HTC's design and put it on their iPhone 5. according to the taco that won't stay with food, its not stolen.
48. tedkord (Posts: 11711; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
First, Xerox got 100,000 shares, not a million. Next, the were paid for the tour, not to license any tech. Jobs stole, as he always admitted.

43. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
Dude your "Apple" iPhone 4S is filled with Samsung hardware. Think about that before you rip on Samsung.
Anyways you are not supposed to be able to patent obvious things.
Such as a rectangular tablet with rounded edges and a thin bezel.
The store is probably just some crappy Samsung licensed reseller doing a bad job.
The plug- so now Apple owns the IP for a square?
A box with the picture of the product on it? Show is that not obvious?
A standard USB cable with the USB logo on it going to a proprietary connector! Without Apple no one would ever have the idea to use a common connector to interface with more obscure hardware, never-mind the fact that USB was designed by Intel with help from other companies.
A voice recording application with a picture of a microphone? Another brilliant innovation by Apple. It's not like the microphone hasn't been the de facto symbol for mic in/voice recording since... ever...
50. tedkord (Posts: 11711; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
I would be happy to explain why Samsung needed to copy Apple over and over again. They didn't. And rabid fans, like yourself, simply accepted anything Steve Jobs and Apple said at face value. If Steve Jobs had said he'd created the sky, you would be calling for Apple to sue God.
Also, you need some way to rationalize Android's dominance in the mobile space. To your addled mind, its not possible that it could be because its a good product. It has to be illegitimized for you to understand. Therefore, you grab onto the stolen excuse, now in your mind you can simply believe Android (and Samsung) are winning because they copied Apple, and people think they are buying an Apple product.

63. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i dont consider super shiny innovation. The only actual innovation apple has done in the mobile space was with the original iphone and how they combined other elements for the first time. Since then its been "take from here... sue... take from there... sue.... buy this... sue them".
I also dont consider removing options and calling it "user friendly" innovation either.. which is basically all they do.
The one thing they did innovate is how to completely entangle a consumer into an ecosystem so deep that its near impossible to get out without major costs involved. Great for them, bad for the consumer.

This is nothing... now Apple can clear Motorola from their 'list', and focus on Samsung and HTC. Now, Microsoft and Nokia, with greater essential patent leverage, will go after Motorola, and by extension, Google, instead of Apple.

That little import ban on Motorola last month... although mostly applying to older models that are no longer being sold commonly... was the work of an injunction sued for by Microsoft. They don't just ask for royalties any more... they are learning from Apple.
56. tedkord (Posts: 11711; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Yes, it was nothing...except several million dollars in legal expenses that brought absolutely no return, and wound up blocking several patents from future enforcement.
You're a glass half full kinda guy, aren't you?
61. hepresearch (unregistered)
I'm a natural skeptic. I had to be, and I was trained to be an even better skeptic. Theorists have to sit down and take a hard look at things that look or sound right at first glance, and then systematically peel back the appearances to reveal any possible underlying behavior that brings a more accurate picture of what is really going on. I cannot just accept everything I see on the spot, at face value. Truth is that when the glass is half-full, it is also simultaneously half-empty... a linear superpostion of states that dissolves into oblivion once you make a choice to see only one or the other. Once you adopt one perspective, you are likely to lose all others unless you take it in with a healthy dose of skepticism.
66. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
me thinks you just described taco and his merry band of iTards with those last 2 lines.
67. hepresearch (unregistered)
Not just them... there are also a lot more people here who fail to take that healthy dose of skepticism on select topics. We cannot just point at the iExtremists, because there are clearly some ExtremeDroids here, too; and then there is a whole spectrum of folks somewhere in the middle, who are slightly biased in one direction or the other, but who willingly let up on the skepticism for news items on their favored OS. I am actually unsure if I can remember ever running into someone else on here who came across to me as truly and completely balanced all the time... but then again, with the polarizing factors involved in such things, it is nearly impossible for anyone to balance themselves completely in this kind of war of ideas. I am no exception. I like Michael H., though... good balanced writing from that dude. He admits Apple's strengths and Android's challenges, but is not gung-ho for Apple, like Victor... but sometimes I like what Victor points out, too...
Despite what anyone else says, overall, the writers here strike me as a fairly balanced crew. Thank you, PhoneArena!
68. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ha, nice plug for the PA writers. :)
in order to combat extremism, the other side often comes off as extremist because of all the counter points they must make to try to pull the actual extremist to the center. every action has to have an equal and opposite reaction.
Many of us are very close to the center. Its the constant arguing that makes us not look like such.
And yes, there are definately aTrolls to go with the iTrolls.
69. hepresearch (unregistered)
I understand, but how extreme do we allow ourselves to become in the process of counter-extremism? I hear you on the needing to be quite extreme in the opposite direction, but my point is... do we really need to be so extreme in order to point out the truth? So what if the extremists don't listen to us when we take the centrist view? They won't listen to us either way! They are extremists, and have decidedly chosen that it is the way they want to be... and none of us can change someone from being who they want to be. Trust me, I was married to a mean angry abusive adulteress for three and a half years because she was a member of my faith who was highly acclaimed by everyone else at church, but none of them really knew her... they, and I, only saw who she wanted them to see... and once we got married, I hung onto the hope, once I figured out what she really was, that she could change, and I tried to help her. The problem was that, no matter how much sense I made when I tried to help, it just wasn't what she thought she wanted. Apart from being a little sorry for the things she did, and making token efforts and comments about changing, she had no real desire to change. She liked being who she was. I could not help her, and in the end I got burned bad by choosing to stick around longer than most others would have.
I am not saying that none of us are centrists, I'm just saying that our commentary doesn't seem to give many decent thinking people that impression. I have what some consider some very extreme views myself, and I do my best to explain the background behind my views and what obvious public evidence I am looking at that helps me come to the conclusions I reach. I also listen to others here in order to learn because I obviously do not know everything... no one here does... and sometimes that helps me to tweak my views a little from time to time. And yes, I do still come out to play whack-a-mole with our favorite fanboy trolls once in a while, because they say rediculous stuff that they think they can get away with, often trying to pick on or slander reasonable folks on here. They choose to act that way at their own expense, and thank goodness that they do because sometimes I wonder if this place would be half as fun without them. But still, none of us who are reasonable thinkers should point the finger just at them, and not also a little bit at ourselves in honesty.

Emerging victorious from the 1992 Olympic Trials in Altoona, a young Lance Armstrong is depicted on a poster with his American cycling teammates for the Olympic Games in Barcelona.
Years later, he'd overcome cancer and the sport would reap much from his superb Tour de France victories.
Then, he'd fall from grace.
"It's a shame about Lance," former Altoona Bicycle Club President Kirk Leidy said. "He really made his debut here in Altoona. He had high prospects, but not a lot of fans at that point."
Today, Armstrong's pre-taped confession to Oprah Winfrey airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network, ending years of his denials of illegal performance enhancement allegations that resulted in his banishment from cycling last fall.
Long and lean, Armstrong, 41, walks onto Oprah's set, adjusts the lapels of his casual blazer and sinks into his chair, cross-legged with one arm propped up to allow a hand to nervously, or thoughtfully, touch his lips.
Armstrong was successful among the 1,000-plus athletes in Altoona two decades ago, earning a spot in the Barcelona Olympics with a victory in the men's road race.
He was a private young man, 21 years old, who stayed in a hotel rather than staying in the Penn State Altoona campus housing with "the other kids," former Altoona Olympic Trial Executive Director Glenda Clemenson-Forosisky said.
"He really didn't join in a lot of the team activities," she said. "He was a loner at the time."
At the 2007 UCI Cycling World Championship, a story broke about American cyclist Floyd Landis' steroid use after testing positive shortly after a race.
"I was asking questions [about Armstrong] at the championship," said Leidy, also former board president of USA Cycling, recognized by cycling's international ruling body as the national governing body for cycling in the United States.
"The UCI felt there was different things going on, but as Lance said, he was tested 500-plus times and never positive," Leidy said.
Today, anyone walking down the street will likely see someone wearing a yellow bracelet supporting the charity Armstrong propelled to a $500 million level with an inspiring comeback from testicular cancer and seven consecutive 2,000-plus- mile Tour de France victories beginning in 1999.
All of those victories were stripped away from Armstrong by cycling's ruling body in October, following a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report. His Livestrong Foundation, continuing legitimate work in cancer research, has dropped Armstrong's name.
Armed with more than 1,000 pages of evidence including 11 testimonies of former teammates, USADA CEO Travis Tygart called the US Postal Service Pro Team's alleged doping scheme masterminded by Armstrong "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
As an Olympic logistics director for cycling and as a national referee since 1985, Leidy has seen cyclist team vans, become a hangout for girlfriends and a number of other tag-alongs. That presumably was not the case for the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team van, where Armstrong and his teammates allegedly used performance-enhancing drugs and blood bags to increase their red blood cell count.
"I've seen the vans, but you never get too close to that stuff. I don't understand how they got away with it," he said.
Today, Winfrey's interview with Armstrong airs his confessions of using performance enhancers. A silent clip was shown during Tuesday's edition of "CBS This Morning."
In a text message to the Associated Press on Saturday, Armstrong said: "I told her [Winfrey] to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say."
Armstrong's blood doping agenda meant his team allegedly packaged their blood and stored it. Then, during racing season they'd enhance athletic performance by stacking their red blood cells through blood transfusions.
"The blood would have to be temperature-controlled, and we are talking about transporting it to Europe," said Leidy, who's directed cycling logistics for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. "You just don't throw it in a suitcase and take it somewhere."
Leidy has officiated at several cycling events in Texas hosted by the Livestrong Foundation in Washington, D.C., and Texas. That experience led him to believe fans will still view Armstrong as an inspiring cancer survivor.
"He's done tremendous things for cancer and no one can take that away from him," Leidy said. "He gave a lot of people hope."
But he held onto lies for too long, said Clemenson-Forosisky.
"I'm quite sure people who looked at him as a hero are seeing him different now because they stuck with him when he denied it," she said.
Leidy said there's been an increased effort to clean the sport up over the past six years. For example, he said it's not uncommon to be at an event and see an athlete tested three times in a day.
"Cycling has moved on," he said. "They knew for the past couple of years that this would come out. You had to wonder because Armstrong was beating people who have confessed to being on performance enhancing drugs."
Leidy is currently preparing for a UCI world championship in Richmond, Va., for 2015, as well as some races in Ireland from his home office in Altoona.
"Compared to other sports - football, hockey, baseball - cycling has been in the forefront when it comes to drug testing," Leidy contends.
USADA staff members in blue lab jackets wait to prick race winners with needles or collect urine samples after a race.
But Leidy said doping is widespread among cyclists and Armstrong is only one of the top competitors who succumbed to it.
"I'm sorry to see it happen. I feel bad for the sport and the Livestrong people who [Armstrong's] given hope to," he said.
"In the long run, I hope it teaches young people that taking the short cut is not the way to go. It's better to take the moral way in life no matter how hard it is," he said.

Bloomberg: Galaxy S 4 to have Snapdragon in the US, Exynos 5 Octa elsewhere, but eye-scrolling won't make it

whatever samsung. We trust you with the hardware and rich features on touch wiz.
but please dont fall into the iphone syndrome and give us the same design over and over again as per the leaks we have been seeing lately.
4. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
yeah the design of S4 is just the same with the S3, same with iphone,
ip4=ip4s=ip5 in design.. boooring!
6. nicholassss (Posts: 368; Member since: 10 May 2012)
everything ive seen so far seems like a smaller note 2 than a bigger s3.
I know its not that much better haha, but... there could still be a bigger change in the look. namely they could ditch the physical home button already.
14. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
inspired by S3 , designed for humans (again)

Have you put an iPhone 4S and a 5 side-by-side? Your optometrist called, and he needs to see you soon.
10. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
I sincerely doubt it will look the exact same as the s3. Samsung is not stupid they know android users have too much awareness to buy the same phone over and over again like ifans and they know android users have a vast sea of choice with top handsets from various manufacturers withing the android system who users could change to if not happy.
Let's not forget the multiple "leaks" last year of almost s2 design replicas featuring s3 internals. Everybody was saying Samsung has done an apple an kept the same design. Samsung is not like apple,its not 100% predictable,expect an refreshed design
21. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Personally I still think it will change to a more solid, less rounded look, but the Samsung teased image is in line with the Chiniese leak, and frankly, it's not that bad. Less bezels and more screen gives overall a more futuristic look if you like, while the rounded corners (too rounded for me) make it comfortable to hold Gorilla Glass on front, metal on the side, replacable plastic on the back, not terrible..

24. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Considering that more ppl. bought a Samsung plastic last year than any other material Android last year, it's those crying for glass and aluminum are the ones trying to convince the majority who don't mind.
29. darkkjedii (Posts: 21374; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
"That" are the ones.
32. Hemlocke (unregistered)
Your rationalization and attempted elevation of "Android users" is not only counterfactual, it's ludicrous. Of course the "iFans" are the only people dumb enough to buy the same design two years in a row, something that Android fans would NEVER do.
Quick question: How often does Ford change the Mustang, Bugatti the Veyron, Rolex their watches, and Samsung their televisions? Would you KNOW one of those if you saw it this year, even only having seen previous years? of course you would. Change for the sake of change destroys brand image. Samsung keeps radically changing the Galaxy S because they have not landed on a design that has been described all around as pleasing or iconic. They could care less what a few commenters on a website say.

Samsung have no design what makes them excel is there features the specs, which you see when they advertise its all about high end specs, look at Nokia they advertise on midrange a year old specs, via known as for there cameras: connecting people, iPhone is a show, flash being cool and trendy and about apps, BB is about enterprise.™

Fingers crossed and I hope it will not.
Some sources even said that the leaked video and images of S4 are fake. That could be just a S3 like dummy made in China to get hypes just before the original release.

It could fail big time and samsung fans will swear on eveything its the best device around
2. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
yes no eye scrolling!
3. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3797; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Dear Samsung fans who anticipated and expected too much from the S4. You're going to get disappointed very soon!!
You drool about what's going to be along with the new Galaxy but you don't think about what might not be.
Phew...there, i said it. Been wanting to get it off my back for so long!
13. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
i don't care.. specially since you're a nokia fan..
17. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3797; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
So you don't care if what i said is true because i'm a fan of Nokia?
Yes, i'm a fan of Nokia...but i have my limits of being a fan. I just don't expect blindly...and i love whatever is good in technology, not just Nokia.
31. maccess (Posts: 742; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
so you mean the s4 will surely a 100% disappointment?? because of what?? just because it doesn't has eye scrolling feature?? or because it stiil made from "cheap" plastic?? or because its 13mp camera still cant beat your 808 pureview?? waiting for same old reasons that nokia fans always brag about ( built quality & camera off course ).. lol..
39. SleepingOz (unregistered)
LMAO, they have nothing except a solid brick with a good(not-so on the L920) camera. That's all!
41. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3797; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Which is better than most of Android devices...
42. SleepingOz (unregistered)
*than most low-end Android devices.
That's nothing to brag about imho.. =]
44. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3797; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Okay, since you brought it up. Which mid-ranger are you talking about? And which high end slapped the Nokia duo down??
46. ahhxd717 (Posts: 332; Member since: 08 Dec 2011)
Shut up. You've never used a L920 camera. It might not be the BEST but it's better than most smartphone cameras out there. Just please be quiet. How old are you? 15?
47. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Did I hurt your feelings? LMAO!
48. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
use it first then tell us.........!!!
40. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3797; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Dude! Why are you chasing your own tail?
I never said fail, let alone 100% fail...and i never compared any Nokia phone to any Samsung device ever...except for the photo comparisons with given images! You're so wrong in trying to figure me.
16. GALAXY-STORM (Posts: 328; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
Nothing can be more disappointing than if somebody only managed to sell 2 million devices in 90 days in an overpopulated country and most importantly ended up throwing a party calling that a success.
18. tech2 (Posts: 3458; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Haters gonna hate ! Logical explanation is something you'll probably not understand but lets see......
Samsung brought some very exceptional features to S3 last year with its S Beam and Smart Stay. Thats probably what people liked and made the phone highest seller on android platform. This year again from hardware point of view they'll promising to deliver power saving Octa core and Pholed display. Also, video pausing and several nifty features on software front.
Everyone like new and innovative features. As an android fan I am just anticipating some cool features it'll bring this year. What makes you conclusively say that 'You're going to get disappointed'.
Instead of lashing out on me just read your comment and you'll realize how idiotic you sound !
27. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3797; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Yo, i don't hate Samsung...just the hard core fans.
Why didn't you say "green pholed" instead?
That was yesterday's prediction.
Agreed that SIII brought some new features, that's why you expect more this time round. If i'm wrong, good for you...if you're right, still good for you. I'm not worried.
7. nicholassss (Posts: 368; Member since: 10 May 2012)
I'm waiting on the note 3 and the X phone for the upgrades on my lines, hah.
8. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Using different chipsets again depending on the country or region...can't the us carriers just allow to use just one processor or is it because they can't make one yet that would be compatible?
9. nikenturd (unregistered)
Poor US customers, they always get the inferior chip lol
19. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
IF SD600 and Adreno 320 overclocked is inferior to the Octa/VX544. And that's a big if.
12. nikenturd (unregistered)
Hey Note 2 owners, would you sell / trade your toy for the S4? or just wait for the Note 3 and see how it plays out?
35. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Wait for the Galaxy Note 3. It will have everything the Galaxy S4 won't have you can bank on that. The Exynos 5 Octa will be inside the Galaxy Note 3 forsure.
15. Equilibrium (Posts: 18; Member since: 15 Nov 2012)
The recent rise of blind trolls/fanboys on here is disappointing.
In my eyes I would never want a company to fail, I would "simply want the others to step their game up.
The decision this year is this
- More durable, less "premium", plastic/poly-carbonate and removable battery
- Less durable, more "premium", glass/aluminium and no removable battery
Hopefully this is the last time that we see two separate version of the Galaxy series, I'm all for world phones!!!
25. Tux_Alan (Posts: 74; Member since: 30 Jan 2013)
If the SD600 is what is coming to the US (and Canada) this might prove a bigger hassle than last year on the s3... to hell with power efficiency, I always buy two extra batteries anyway (A phone has yet to last me an entire day)
26. FoneAddict (Posts: 259; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Samsung are stagnating design wise, they really need to up their game like Sony and HTC.
43. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Sorry but sony also is "stagnating design wise", so does nokia and apple.
But I agree they should really up the aesthetic of their products.
28. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
one have a best camera ..
check it :
33. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
I sense dissappoinment coming around the corner: Android fanboy's are cocky mf's, and think the S4 is god coming down from the heavens. We'll see about that real soon, but if it don't live up to expectations, we'll be visiting here to rub some salt in those wounds ;o)
36. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Yea 10 vs 2 surely you're welcome to TROLL™
37. tedkord (Posts: 11733; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
The difference is that Android fans can be disappointed, whereas Apple or WP fans will continued to insist that their phone is God from the heavens.
38. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
No eye scrolling? Samsung.....Samsung....Samsung, you are making us disappointed. :(

I've been a little light on the posting this week and just wanted to share the reason why… our new addition to the family arrived a little earlier than expected!
Sonny & I went to a routine doctor appointment on Monday and got sent straight across to labor & delivery due to some safety concerns. I have to admit that was a little nerve-wracking… but by Tuesday morning Macy arrived – completely healthy & happy!
We're taking a few days to adjust to being new parents and all that entails – especially the fact that she seems to have her days and nights absolutely, completely switched :0 Sleep has been pretty much non-existent since Sunday night :0 – but I know all of that is to be expected at the beginning.
I'll still be posting regularly again starting tomorrow afternoon though… there are some fabulous new Real Parties to share! =)

10 tools for open source cities and open government
10 tools to help open source cities maintain transparency
Today, transparency is a critical aspect in all areas of government. With Internet access, citizens are looking for more information about what is going on in their cities and are looking for more ways to hold their government representatives accountable. One of the best ways to provide transparency and make it easier for citizens to obtain the city services they require is to become an open source city. An open source city is one that uses a variety of new tools, including apps, to make information availble to citizens and interact with them as well.
Following are 10 tools to help open source cities maintain transparency.
- CitySourced – This important tool is an app helps citizens report civic issues, including environmental issues and public safety concerns. The use of this app saves time and money for city governments and improves the level of government accountability.
- FixMyStreet – One of the biggest issues in any city is the state of its streets. In many cities, though, citizens don't know how to make reports to ask for the city for help. With this powerful open source app, citizens can quickly and easily report potholes, collapsed drains, blocked street signs and other issues to the proper authorities.
- OpenPlans – OpenPlans is a company that strives to create useful transportation and planning tools for cities that wish to utilize open source technology. While this technology is most often used in larger cities, OpenPlans strives to make their services available to smaller cities as well, offering affordable ways to create transparency and make citizens' interactions with the government easier.
- Electorate.Me – This website is designed to give people a voice in their area's political and social issues. Open source cities can encourage their citizens to use this website to ensure their problems are addressed by the right government departments in a timely manner.
- NationBuilder – NationBuilder allows communities to build websites, social networks and other online features to allow government agencies and citizens to interact seamlessly. The organized tools available include maps, surveys, Q&A sections and real-time updates on happenings within the community.
- OpenPublic – This application is one of the only open source content management systems available to cities to help them reach out to the public. Cities can create websites using responsive design and, provide information to citizens. Sites are customizable and secure, and the cost is much less than buying proprietary software.
- Open311 – Open311 opens the doors to cities that wish to more effectively track civic issues. It also offers citizens an easier method for reporting issues or concerns to the city. These open channels of communication give citizens more control over their cities as well as peace of mind that the government cares about their input.
- Granicus – Granicus offers city governments the tools they need to manage and broadcast media online and through mobile solutions. By providing cloud storage for media, Granicus helps governments fulfill the needs of their citizens without spending a lot of money on individual storage options.
- SeeClickFix – SeeClickFix is another app open source cities can use to encourage their citizens to report problems in their neighborhoods so the appropriate government agencies can take steps to resolve any issues. In addition to providing citizens with reporting tools, this app can also send out alerts to citizens in specific areas to enhance communication and safety.
- Open City – Open City consists of a group of volunteers who create apps and other programs in open source formats to encourage transparency in city governments. Cities can request apps for any purpose to engage their citizens and help them get involved.While the first open source cities may have been large cities, these important tools can make implementing open source policies into smaller cities affordable.
Learn more about how these and other tools can improve communication with city governments from MPA@UNC's Guide to Open Government.

How is nation builder good for building os cities, when the tool itself is not on an open source license? in light of current spying, is it even advisable to use an app that has DMCAs all over it and hosted in "the land of the free"?
I would also include use of open source technologies for web access and the use of open source technologies in schools. Also include open, non-encumbered data formats.
Governments MUST provide open and accessible data to their citizens in formats that we the citizens can access, process, and utilize. Often information or data provided by governments is closed, restricted, or requires proprietary software to access (even WORD documents).
Technology has taken us so far from the normal way of life and from nature too. Many changed are taking place ad here is another one!

Diagnosed with myeloma in 2001 at age 37 and given a poor prognosis, Jonathon Ryan will celebrate his survival this Sunday, February 9, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Cordova, Nebraska. "I never thought I'd live to see 40 and now I'm 50," he says. Throughout the challenging years of transplants, clinical trials and relapses, Jonathon, his wife Phyllis and their four daughters have enjoyed terrific community support. "We didn't do this alone—someone was always bringing a casserole to the kids. It's a wonderful story of faith, perseverance and commitment." Jonathon has helped raise cancer awareness through a variety of activities, including cycling, canoeing and running.

McCLURE - The man standing at the front of the room donned a small turtle shell pouch, brightly colored arm cuffs and a loud feather headdress. His traditional American Indian regalia stood out among dress slacks and collared shirts, but his message was one of unity.
Frank Wilson Angelo, of McClure, spent Thursday morning presenting his Powhatan and Cherokee heritage to the students of Mifflin County Christian Academy.
"What I'm wearing is considered my Sunday best," he said. "Everything I'm wearing has a story with it."
Article Photos
Sentinel photo by JULIANNE CAHILL
Frank Wilson Angelo, of McClure, shows students the image of a dancer worn into stone during a presentation about American Indian culture Thursday at Mifflin County Christian Academy.
From a handmade porcupine quill bracelet to his signature dancing fan, Angelo could recall where he obtained each relic or who gifted it to him. Two particularly special pieces were a photo of his late father and his son's last cigarette butt.
"My son passed away at 23 ... he travels (with me) everywhere I go to dance," Angelo said.
When he is dressed in his traditional regalia, the photo and cigarette butt are carried in pouches around his neck.
While students considered how different American Indian culture may seem, Angelo turned his message to one thing that brings everyone together: God.
"The native people believed in the creator. They believed in God," he said.
Angelo held an eagle's feather in front of him and pointed to the dark, fragile tip. He explained that the dark color symbolized those who walked a "dark journey" without God in their life. Like the top of the feather, he said those people are weak and fall easily to the temptations of Satan's bad spirit. Angelo said the dark path is not without hope though, and people can choose to turn their lives around.
"As you walk back toward God, then you're connecting with him. It takes a lot to break that," he said, while sliding his hand down and pointing to the lighter, stronger base of the feather.
Angelo told the students his face painting had similar meaning. The right side of his face was painted black for the dark journey. On his left side - above his heart - his face was painted white to symbolize a good journey with God.
"Is Christ the focus of your life?" he asked the students.
As Angelo, also known as "Two Otters," closed his presentation, he left the students with one final story.
"Laminin is an adhesion molecule that holds every cell in your body together," he said.
The scientific description of laminin is a cross; the symbol of the greatest gift God gave us, he said. When it's magnified, he said you can see two hands and two feet on it.
"We are fearfully and wonderfully made," Angelo said. "There is no such thing as evolution. You can't take a stone and turn it into anything."
Also during the presentation, students saw a traditional hunting dance and heard an American Indian story.

AUSTINTOWN - By recent standards, the 2012-2013 basketball season was a successful one for the Salem varsity girls. The Quakers picked up eight wins, despite starting two sophomores in the backcourt.
It all came to an end Monday as the Quakers fell 60-33 to state-ranked Canfield in the Division II sectional tournament at Austintown Fitch High School.
"We have three seniors, but our guards are really young," Salem coach Renee Farina said. "With Canfield's pressure, that's tough."
Canfield won its 20th straight game to improve to 22-1. Salem had a third straight losing season for the first time in school history and finished at 8-15.
Canfield jumped out on the Quakers early, taking a 6-0 lead and going up as much as 15-5. Salem battled back and stayed in it, though, closing the first quarter down 18-13.
The Quakers made things even more interesting early in the second quarter, striking first with a three-pointer from Julia Dundon to pull within two, 18-16. It was short-lived, though, as Canfield's Rachel Tinkey answered with a three of her to start a 15-0 run over the next four-plus minutes, part of an 18-3 run to finish the half. That put the Quakers down 36-19 after two.
Canfield's run was triggered by its defense, which forced several turnovers - many before the Quakers could even get across half court.
"Going in, we knew that Canfield was going to pressure us. They're notorious for that," Farina said. "We lost our composure. We didn't handle the pressure well.
"They made it really hard for us to get into anything."
It was more of the same in the second half, with the Cardinals getting up as much as 56-28 midway through the fourth quarter before coach Patrick Pavlansky subbed out most of his starters to finish the game.
"They're a number one seed for a reason," Farina said. "They're so well-rounded. If you try to stop (Sabrina) Mangapora inside, they'll get you outside. Their role players are solid as well. They're a very well-coached, well-prepared team."
Mangapora, a 6-foot-1 senior, finished with 16 points to lead the Cardinals. Senior Abby Baker added 15 and sophomore Rachel Tinkey scored 13.
For Salem, senior Lindsey Foster had with 10 rebounds, nine points, one steal and one block. Junior Megan Lehwald added nine points and sophomore Tori Jones dished out three assists.
"We did have eight wins, and we tried to develop everyone," Farina said. "We hope that carries over into next season. We'll lose a lot of size and experience. Hopefully the younger girls are ready to step up."
CANFIELD SCORING: Paige Baker 2-0-4, Ashley Kaleel 1-0-2, Kayla Barko 1-0-2, Lynnae Whitehead 0-0-0, Abby Baker 2-3-15, Rachel Tinkey 2-3-13, Jamie Giambattista 0-0-0, Crissy Gelonese 1-0-2, Allison Pavlonsky 2-0-4, Erin Risner 0-0-0, Savannah Barko 0-0-0, Sabrina Mangapora 6-0-16, Emily Ellis 0-0-2.

LOCKPORT – A man who pleaded guilty to playing a role in a near-fatal beating outside a Niagara Falls bar last year was jailed Friday to await assignment to an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility.
Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas hiked bail for Stefan Grabowski Jr. from $5,000 to $50,000, causing him to be taken into custody.
Grabowski, 23, of Niagara Street, Niagara Falls, was to have been sentenced Friday for second-degree assault, but Farkas scrubbed that after learning that Grabowski had been arrested earlier this week in Lewiston on a driving while intoxicated charge. Defense attorney James J. Faso Jr. said Grabowski's blood alcohol content was measured at 0.19 percent.
Grabowski was the only one of four or five attackers ever arrested in connection with the beating of Thomas Pembleton outside Club Ultra on Third Street in the Falls March 24, 2012. His sentencing has been rescheduled for July 18.

A new study due out in April will likely recommend that Erie Community College build new facilities at both its North and City campuses, ECC President Jack F. Quinn Jr. disclosed in an interview.
Quinn said there are signs that the study will encourage the college to pursue plans for a science, technology and manufacturing facility at its Amherst campus while also developing a facility for health-related programs at or near its campus downtown.
The interview is part of the weekly "In Focus" series.
Meyer: There are many folks who think that ECC should consolidate its three campuses in the downtown core where you have a major presence with the City Campus. Where are you now in that debate?
Quinn: It [was] a debate that raged about seven or eight years ago, actually before I came to the college. And it was settled then. Lots of studies ... It was decided then that geography is one of our best attributes. We need to be in the north and the south and, of course, in the city. We will never abandon any of those places ... We're doing a comprehensive study with the county ... The study will be done in about two weeks.
We believe that's going to say that we need to do something at the North Campus and something in the city. And we further think that what we might hear from this study is that some kind of a "STEM" building be constructed at the North Campus that deals with science, technology and manufacturing ... And then a second building in the city that might actually house our medical activities, our health-related [programs]. And that would answer [Ellicott Council Member Darius G.] Pridgen, who said he wants us to do everything that we do with health-related fields in the city or at [the former] Sheehan Hospital.
Meyer: Which is only a mile from the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
Quinn: And less than a mile from us. An interesting fact that a lot of people don't know: we already have a lease with Sheehan Hospital, the predecessor here, for some parking for our students.
Meyer: So if , in fact, the study recommends [these projects] at City and North, who pays for it?
Quinn: In the case of the North building, we had thought about a $30 million project out there for a lot of SMART classrooms and up-to-date kind of technology ... We're happy to report that we've got $26 million of the $30 million in the bank, between a state grant of $15 million, $7.5 million from the county and the college saving our pennies the last couple years ... If we built or occupied a place in the city, we need help paying for that. And our discussions have moved out to talking to representatives of the governor's "billion for Buffalo." We think it would be a wise use of money this close to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus where we're going to do some education with not only medical training, but I hear from the manufacturers all the time: "Teach them the trade, but while you're at it, Jack, teach them how to read and write." So we're the educators. We're not the medical people. We are not the manufacturers. We do education and we do training. And we think we do it pretty well for $3,900 a year. And we think there's a way for us to do this both at our North Campus and at our City Campus if we get a little bit of help.

Jins family was so nice and everything! And their house was near all the cool places, I could get to COEX mall within 5~10 minutes!
and their daughter was so cute, i miss her!
I had a great time at Jin's place.
I stayed a huge room with two single beds, a desk and a drawers.
The apartment is 'SUPER' clean and so quiet.
I told Jin wrong arriving time from the air port, but Jin had patience and give me a big welcome.
The other family have been so good to me, as well.
The apartment is just a few minutes walk from Jamsilnaru station.
It takes time from the airport though, It was worth it.
Of all the host accommodations I have stayed in, Jin's was diffinitly one of the top. The hospitality, willingness to offer help was great.

Jan. 23, 1921 – June 28, 2013
Joseph D. Ieradi, who over several decades repaired countless pairs of shoes in a small shop on Abbott Road in Lackawanna, died June 28 in his Lackawanna home. He was 92.
A native of Cortale, Italy, he arrived in the U.S. as a young boy and grew up in Chicago.
Mr. Ieradi was an accomplished baseball player as a young man and, according to his family, he was signed to a contract by the Chicago Cubs, although he never played at the major league level.
After a stint in the Civilian Conservation Corps, at a camp in Wisconsin, he returned to Chicago and began to learn the skills of shoe repair. He moved to Buffalo after meeting Angeline Limardi, a Buffalo resident who would become his wife.
He began his own shoe repair business in Lackawanna in 1955 and became known across the Steel City and beyond as "Joe the Shoemaker." He often regaled customers with entertaining stories about his baseball playing days, growing up in Chicago and his triumphs and defeats as a prominent local bowler.
"He was a mentor for most of the shoemakers in Erie County," said his daughter Angelina Niziurski. "He was a fixture in Lackawanna since 1955, and not only for just Lackawanna, but for Buffalo and the other suburbs."
He continued working until he was 90.
His wife of 56 years died in 2003.
Survivors include two other daughters, Nancy and Laura.
A Mass of Christian Burial was offered July 3 in Our Lady of Victory Basilica. Photo sent to picdesk

Lauren Orynawka practically grew up in ice skates. She started playing ice hockey when she was barely 4 years old. By age 6, Lauren was skating as a forward for youth hockey teams. At Iroquois High School, she played goalie on the boys hockey team. She also competed on the girls lacrosse team.
At age 19, Orynawka wears goalie pads for two different teams. She is a netminder for Buffalo Stars 19U, competing in a women's league. As a full-time student at D'Youville College, Orynawka starts in goal for the school's club-level men's hockey team, the Spartans.
Orynawka, a freshman who studies physical therapy, is the only woman on the roster. D'Youville founded its club hockey program in 2010. Sponsored by the college's Department of Veterans Affairs, the Spartans are coached by Ed Draper.
People Talk: Hockey must play a major role in your family.
Lauren Orynawka: My dad went to college for ice hockey at Geneseo. And I have two brothers. One is 26. One is 20. My dad kind of got us all into it, and I just took after my brothers. We all did and we all loved it, but I'm the one who stuck with it the longest.
PT: How do you train? Do you do yoga?
LO: I practice all the time, four or five times a week. I work on my movement, speed. I do a lot of skating.
PT: What part of being a goalie is mental?
LO: It's definitely a different mindset for sure. Mentally it's different from playing any other position. You have to be mentally ready to accept the fact you're getting hit. A lot of people can't do that. They flinch from shots. Like if a puck is flying at your face, you have to not flinch and just take it.
PT: What did you think the first time you were hit in the face?
LO: Ouch? I mean, it hurt. It rattles your brain, definitely – you feel the impact. But helmets these days are so good. I haven't had one concussion yet. So I'm definitely well-protected, and because of that I realize nothing is going to happen to me. I feel safe in my equipment, which makes me a better goaltender.
PT: Was your uniform made with a woman in mind?
LO: I wouldn't say so. I wish they would make the chest protector different. I feel like they should make more padding for girls. It's kind of thin, and you can definitely feel it when it hits you.
PT: What's the locker room like?
LO: I definitely get my own locker room for every game because I'm not going to get dressed with the boys. That's just weird. It's kind of nice, very peaceful. If you go in their locker room, there's music blasting. They're all talking and throwing stuff. And in mine it's dead silence. I like it that way.
PT: Do you replay games in your brain?
LO: Sometimes, but most of the time – especially when I'm on my A-game – I kind of live in the moment and forget. I'll get off the ice and not remember how many saves I've made, where they were. I'm so focused on the here and now that in one second, it's gone. That's how a goaltender should be, because you kind of have to forget things or you won't play well.
PT: How do you get in focus for a game?
LO: When the players warm up, they skate around and shoot the puck into the net. The net is empty; I'm not it in yet. I watch each puck go into the net. I watch every single person shoot the puck into the net. It helps me focus on just that one thing that is important for that one moment. It helps me focus on the puck.
PT: Do you wear makeup for a game?
LO: Sometimes I do. When it's like a morning game? No. If it's an afternoon game, yes. Especially when I'm playing with boys. I don't want to look bad.
PT: How does the other team react to you?
LO: It's funny, because some people don't like it. My first game of the season, actually, one of the players on the other team ran me and knocked me over on purpose just because, I think, they wanted me to get scared and never come back. So some guys I feel are not intimidated but mad at the fact a female is entering their domain. Other people are OK with it. They barely ever hack at me. They show me respect. My teams love me, and I love them. That's all that really matters.
PT: Did you ever get in a fight on the ice?
LO: Not for college, but when I played high school hockey I did punch a guy in the face once. He fell on top of me and I was really mad because he did it on purpose, so I punched him in the face with my blocker. I got a roughing penalty, but that's OK. That was my only penalty ever.
PT: Goalies, place kickers, punters all get tagged as loners or weirdos. What do you think about that?
LO: I agree. We are kind of loners, and we are weird because we have our own mindset about the games that we play. We have our own special things that keep us kind of sane in our position. I know a lot of people who have to smack the post a couple times when they play goalie. They have to smack it a certain way and hit it so many times. Little superstitions like that make people think we're weird, but it's kind of like the sane environment for us. That's really important, because nobody understands our job until they do it themselves.
PT: Who is your goalie hero?
LO: Martin Brodeur. I love the New Jersey Devils. They're my favorite team, and the Sabres. I love the Sabres, too.
PT: Is there anything you don't like about hockey?
LO: The checking part. It's fun to watch people get hit at Sabres games and stuff, but I've seen people get separated shoulders, knee injuries – stuff that could easily have been prevented if you played aggressive hockey instead of going out to clobber people. Some players, especially guys, don't wear their helmets properly. They wear them very loose, or they don't wear their mouth guard. That's something that really needs to be cracked down on because concussions are a big thing. My goalie coach actually can't play hockey anymore because he got too many concussions.
PT: How did you come to study physical therapy?
LO: I saw a lot of injuries that occurred over my time playing sports. I played field hockey, too, and lacrosse. I saw how my friends had to recover from those events in order to get back to the sport they loved. I realized that may be something I'd want to do, because I know how important sports are to me. To be able to help somebody else get back to the sport they love would be the best thing in the world for me.
