ALBANY – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's tilt to the political left is apparently not helping his standing with voters, who give the Democratic governor his lowest favorability rating since he took office more than two years ago, a new poll has found.
The Siena College poll found that 54 percent of New York voters, who are dominated by enrolled Democrats, would re-elect Cuomo if the election were held today. That is down from a high of 62 percent in December.
More New Yorkers, the poll found, believe Cuomo is not the moderate he claims to be but has shifted to the left. Sixty percent called him a moderate two years ago. Today, just 47 percent call him a moderate.
Statewide, 50 percent say New York is heading in the right direction, compared with 42 percent who say it is going the wrong way.
However, 56 percent of upstate voters say the state is heading in the wrong direction under Cuomo.
The governor is seeing continuing slippage, reflected in recent polls done by other college polling outfits, among independents, Republicans and upstaters. Importantly, those are all key groups Cuomo must woo if he is to have the kind of strong showing in his re-election bid next year that his supporters hope he can then use as ammunition to mount a 2016 presidential campaign.
Fifty-four percent say Cuomo is doing an excellent or good job as governor, which is down from 60 percent in January. While the personal opinion voters have of Cuomo stands at 64 percent favorable, that is off from a 72 percent favorable rating he had in December.

Gov. Corbett said he plans to tour parts Pennsylvania damaged by Sandy but didn't say where or when. He said more than a million people in the state still lacked power and three hospitals in eastern Pennsylvania were relying on generators. Five deaths so far have been blamed on the storm.
Overall, he said, even with the storm still zigzagging across the state, the recovery has gone faster than expected. "We are breathing somewhat a sigh of relief. I'll be breathing a bigger sigh of relief when power is back on."

Berkeley County's state legislators talked shop at the annual Berkeley Chamber of Commerce legislative luncheon Friday. Topics ranged from roads and bridges to support for veterans.
Seven of the county's 11 state senators and representatives attended the luncheon speaking to a packed house of local civic and business leaders at the Redbank Club in Goose Creek. Attending were Senators Paul Campbell and Sean Bennett, and Representatives Joe Daning, Eddy Southard, Bill Crosby, Joe Jefferson and Samuel Rivers Jr.
Campbell discussed strengthening the state's DUI laws, proposing that first time offenders be required to install a digital ignition device in their cars after a conviction.
The senator also said the state's filing requirements for elected office need to be tweaked. "We lost some 200 qualified candidates for election last year because of the way the state required new candidates to file," he said.
Campbell also spoke of finding a means to increase revenue for the state's roads and bridges.
"The Secretary of Transportation says it's his job to manage the deterioration of South Carolina's roads and bridges," Campbell said. "If we don't give the DOT funds to repair our roads and bridges they can't do their jobs."
Campbell mentioned a proposal to raise the state tax on gas from 16 percent to 20 percent. He said the increase in the tax would result in a $160 million jump in revenue to repair the state's infrastructure. Neighboring states charge much more in state sales tax which offers South Carolina drivers some of the lowest gasoline prices in the nation. Currently Georgia charges 28 percent in state taxes and North Carolina 38 percent.
"We're increasing our fees and all that money will go back to the counties," said Campbell, who added that an average $50 million increase in revenue would mean $500,000 would go back to the counties to increase their roads and bridges funds. "We could generate approximately $600 million in revenue if all 46 counties approved a 1 cent sales tax like we have in Berkeley County."
Daning, who served as chairman of the delegation, said meetings like the legislative luncheon were important. "It's extremely important for the delegation to get out and talk to the folks," he said.
Daning spoke about the state waiving a one-year residency eligibility stipulation for in-state college tuition for military dependents moving into South Carolina. "We want to waive the one-year waiting period so anytime a military veteran moves into the state their dependents can go to a state public college and pay in-state tuition," he said.
Southard, representing District 100, stressed his continued loyalty to small business in his remarks. "I am a small businessman and my responsibility is to small businesses first," he said.
Southard mentioned a proposal in the legislature that would lower the tax on fixed assets from its present 10.5 percent to six percent for small businesses.
"This is something we're working very hard to pass," he said. "Those of you small business owners will be very happy to hear this and can appreciate that."
Southard's other main concern is the change of absentee and early voting laws.
"The early voting bill passed the house," he said. "Currently we don't allow early voting, we allow absentee voting. We changed it from 30 days to nine days allowable for any excuse. We will do away totally with absentee voting."
Crosby said many of his constituents were elderly and cannot physically wait in long lines.
"There are a lot of seniors up there that don't want to go stand in those lines," he said. "If this bill passes like it is and they only have nine days, I'm telling them to ask for curbside voting."
Jefferson said more physicians need to be made available to rural clinics and that he supports increasing responsibilities for physician's assistants.
"Increasing the responsibility would allow the PA's to carry on the functions of the doctors who may not be able to be there at any particular time," he said.
Jefferson, the lone Berkeley County Democrat, said the county's delegation forms "a pretty good team gathered in Columbia." "I like to think we're doing a pretty good job," he said, "And we're working very well together."

quote: Meanwhile Bob Dinneen chief of the corn growers advocacy, the Renewable Fuels Association, blast the AAA and its fellow E15 opponents saying what's good for corn is good for the country. He comments, "[The AAA protest] reflects a pathetic ignorance of EPA's unprecedented test program before approving E15 for commercial use. The fact is E15 has been the most aggressively and comprehensively tested fuel in the history of the agency."

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Researchers at Stanford University and The Scripps Research Institute identified chemical compounds that show promise as potential therapeutics for a set of medical conditions caused by the abnormal clumping together of a protein known as transthyretin (TTR). The compounds, which prevent the abnormal aggregation of the TTR protein, work by holding the protein together in its functional form. The scientists suggest that these compounds may have the potential to help people who have TTR-related amyloid diseases or are at risk for them, and may have advantages over other TTR-stabilizing drugs that are currently in clinical trials.
"These new compounds have structures that make them very effective at stabilizing TTR in its stable native tetrameric form in laboratory tests, and they also seem nontoxic in cell culture," said Stephen Connelly, a senior research associate in the Scripps Research laboratory of Professor Ian Wilson. The report appears in the current issue of Science Translational Medicine.
Secreted by the liver into the bloodstream, TTR tetramers work as transporters of the hormone thyroxine and also bind the holo retinal binding protein. In the bloodstream, however, TTR tetramers often come apart, and when that happens, the naturally sticky individual TTR proteins may start to re-form abnormally into toxic fibril-shaped aggregates known as amyloids. The scientists note that it is well known that the body's normal defenses against amyloids decline with aging.
TTR amyloids can impair functions or hasten age-related degeneration. Inherited mutations of the TTR gene can cause earlier-onset TTR amyloid conditions, including familial amyloid cardiomyopathy, which can lead to heart failure.
First-generation drug candidates for preventing TTR amyloid formation have been developed, and two are already in clinical trials, the investigators report. Most of these have chemical similarities to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). As such, the researchers say that they have potentially harmful side effects—including to the heart and kidney—that would make them less than ideal for long-term use, especially in patients with compromised heart function. For this reason, the team developed a test to screen a library of compounds for those that would bind and stabilize TTR bu,t otherwise, would not have NSAID-like effects.
They found 33 TTR stabilizers with their screening system. "Many of these were novel chemical entities with no previously known biological targets," says Isabella Graef, assistant professor of pathology at Stanford University. After selecting the most potent of the compounds, she and her team used further lab tests to confirm the compounds' effectiveness at preventing amyloid formation by normal and mutant forms of TTR. Preliminary tests of the compounds' toxicity also showed that they did not appear to harm normal cells.
Graef brought four of her best TTR-stabilizing compounds to Scripps Research for structural analysis. Using x-ray crystallography techniques, Connelly determined the structures of the four compounds as they bound to TTR. "Despite their diverse chemical differences, all four turned out to bind to the TTR tetramer in ways that span, and thereby, strengthen its weaker joints, stabilizing the healthy tetrameric form," said Connelly.
Graef and her colleagues at Stanford now are trying to gather more data on the effectiveness and safety of the more promising compounds. "Together with physicians from a cardiovascular clinic here at Stanford, we're investigating whether these compounds can stabilize, in a solution of blood serum, the TTR proteins of patients with a common familial amyloid cardiomyopathy mutation," she said. "If it can, then hopefully the pharmaceutical industry will want to develop it from there."

MARTINSBURG - Every nine-and-a-half minutes someone, somewhere in the United States contracts HIV. One out of five of those living with the virus won't know they are HIV positive. Those statistics come from Dr. Matthew Simmons, of Internal Medicine of West Virginia, who has devoted his career to those living with HIV and AIDS.
"I have patients from the age of 19 all the way through 75," Simmons said. "No one's really immune from the virus. No one's really immune from the disease."
December marks National HIV Awareness month, with World Aids Day having occurred on the 1st.
"I think that a healthy community is a happy community," Simmons said. "The days of the '50s and '70s when we didn't talk about things are over. Sex education begins in fourth-and-fifth-grade in our schools now. But yet, we notoriously are really afraid to talk to our kids about HIV."
According to Simmons, an internal medicine physician specializing in infectious disease, HIV - an acronym for Human Immunodeficiency Virus - is a retrovirus integrating itself into the genetic sequence of human DNA that uses human cells - CD4 cells required by the immune system to recognize infections - to replicate itself before destroying the cells. As CD4 cells are destroyed, a person's immune system deteriorates. Persons with a CD4 count fewer than 200, Simmons said, are susceptible to a number of infections that healthy hosts are not.
HIV, which can lead to AIDS -Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome - is transmitted through sexual activity, blood contact or transfusions and IV drug use. Pregnant women who are HIV-positive have a chance of infecting their babies through birth or breast milk.
"Education is empowerment. My goal is, ultimately two things, to make the public more aware of it so they're less afraid of it. ... But also, (I) hope to be preventive. If we talk about things, they lose their power. The reason that HIV has so much power is because people don't talk about it. It won't happen in my community, it won't happen to my kid, it won't happen to my family member. Everyone kind of just looks the other way until it affects them personally. But really, it affects us all because it affects our community."
While the virus was initially prevalent in the early '80s, Simmons said it's on the rise again.
"There's a disregard, I think, because people think 'oh, well there are medicines for it now, I'm not going to die from it, people live with it,'" he said. "And I think as the number of people increase that live with the disease instead of die from it, people become less afraid."
The largest growing group afflicted, Simmons said, is African-American females between ages 15 and 35.
"Historically, the disease was first seen mostly in (homosexual) men, and then the population moved out into IV drug users," he said. "Once it transmitted over into the heterosexual population in the United States, it slowly progressed to include younger minorities, especially Native Americans and Hispanic women, and it's because of the inequality of health care in the United States."
Modern medicine, Simmons said, has made great advancements in antiretroviral therapy regimes over the years. What used to be dozens of pills per day has given way to one pill-per day or three pills twice daily regimes, he said.
"The medicines are getting very good, life expectancy for an HIV patient is now normal," he said.
Stem-cell research and studies are continuously searching for HIV and AIDS prevention, such as a vaccine, Simmons said. Additionally, pre-exposure medications now exist to reduce risk of transmission prior to sexual activity.
"A lot of times when patients present, the same thing I hear is, my life is over," Simmons said. "We really try to urge, especially at Internal Medicine of West Virginia, we try to urge the whole idea that this is a disease you're going to live with, not die from. People go on to live happy, productive lives - successful lives. I always tell my patients, your disease doesn't define you. I tell all my patients that."
According to Simmons, who operates his practice in partnership with Dr. Cathy Funk, about 20 percent of those with HIV experience a period of flu-like symptoms, often mistaken for mononucleosis.
Aids.gov, managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, says this period of acute retroviral syndrome can occur as early as two to four weeks after exposure.
Nevertheless, fear and stigma, Simmons said, serve to discourage the public from getting tested.
"There's very much an 'ostrich, head in the sand' approach to testing," he said.
At the recommendation of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, City Hospital will be one of the first hospitals piloting an initiative to ask every patient admitted to the hospital, ages 13 and up, if they wish to be tested for HIV. The "it's all right to ask" initiative will begin Jan. 1.
In October, the first at-home HIV test - requiring a mouth swab - that delivers results in 20 minutes was put on the market.
"If you're nervous about getting tested, the secret is knowledge is power. By ignoring it, it won't go away. There are great studies that show the earlier you start medicine, the better your life expectancy is," Simmons said. "If you think that you have a risk factor, you think you may have contracted it, talk to your doctor. It's not something you should have to go through alone. Things are almost never as grim as they appear."
Along with employing educational resources, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the World Aids Organization, with web sites that allow users to build a profile to learn their specific risk factors, Simmons suggests regular, six-month HIV tests for those who are sexually active in non-monogomous relationships.
"People need to ask, they need to ask their partners, they need to not be afraid," Simmons said. "It's your right as a person to ask people."
While instances of HIV and AIDS are lower in West Virginia than in other states, Simmons said the virus and disease are still present.
Simmons, earning his degree and completing fellowship work at West Virginia University, has been practicing for two years and in the field for seven.
"You meet a person and they think their life is over. And then six months later they're graduating from college and they've got a good job," he said. "It's very much about the connection with the patient."

All jokes aside, this specimen of a Bass stripped some line off my little Certate 1003 with 6lb Sunline with brute force, she hit the lure like it was her last feed.
I was being punished.....punished for fishing light tackle for Black Bream in very Bassy looking water. Nick, with net in hand ready, seen some Bronze and called it for a monster flatty, moments would pass while I bridled this mare to the boat, and her true identity would become known.... a cracking wild Bass.
At a whopping 48cm, this girl made my day. Photos just don't do it justice, it looked like a football. Fishing was very slow, water still very murky.

Single-stream recycling nears
April 23, 2013
Pick up, or drop off? That's the question Lycoming County residents will have with their recyclable materials as more private waste haulers are getting into the business of picking up comingled — or......
Confused Citizen: The small haulers must purchase the container you use for your recyclables and then dedicate a vehicle for recycling purposes. $5.00 a customer and .15 cents a month per customer will take a long time to break even, unless they have every customer in a community.

They have the ability to make money because they charge for their service of picking up your recycling. Plus, they then turn around and sell the processed recycled material. I'm currently using Hometown Disposal. They charge $5 a month, plus a fuel surcharge (it was only $.15 a month). They can also accept more recycled items. The drop off sites only accept #1 & #2 plastics. I can recycle #1 - #7 plastics with Hometown Disposal.

Mr Wheeland you say the county lost money on the curbside pick up when you purchase your equipment through deals not available to the small haulers and you use labor from the prisons but you expect the haulers to make money?

REVLIMID®, a potent immunomodulatory derivative (IMiD) of thalidomide, induces apoptosis [programmed cell death] in resistant MM cell lines and patient cells and, more importantly, decreases binding of MM cells to bone marrow stromal cells. The compromise of this relationship between the myeloma cell and its microenvironment results in inhibiting production in the BM milieu of cytokines (IL-6, VEGF, TNF-alpha) mediating growth and survival of MM cells and blocking angiogenesis." (from "Myeloma therapy, from the bench to the clinic," Blood; November, 2002 (vol. 100, no.9, p. 3061)
This study, sponsored by Dr. Paul Richardson of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, was designed to answer a very important question in myeloma: In the era of novel drugs, is high-dose therapy (HDT) still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients? In this study, the addition of HDT to conventional dose treatment (RVD) as compared to conventional-dose treatment (RVD) alone would be considered superior if it significantly prolongs progression-free survival by at least 9 months.

yeah right! so, how do you describe apple adding galaxy s3 and Note 10.1 to the list of devices that they want to ban in the US? hmmm...
32. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Apple is damaged by success of copied products that are now the main carrier wave for new products. Of course they will want to ban new products, they didn't sue Samsung because they are evil but because they are directly damaged by shameless stealing of design solutions in past models that opened the way for Samsung for success of new products. But I don't expect you understand that because you obviously can't trace the cause and effect chain further than first level of appearance and media propaganda.

Why only samsung? yeah, because samsung is the only competition who finally broke apple's reign in smart phone's history... go apple... you are the only smart phone maker in the planet... you don't care about competition because others are mere copy cat... ;-)

competition like samsung? when it got sued just because its competition

I thought they were sued because of copying.

Thinking is NOT knowing, like all iUsers think Apple invented the touchscreen, the voics control, the notification center, they think iphone was first smartphone.........LOL
35. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I was sarcastic. Of course I know why Apple sued Samsung. Because of copying, that's why. Because this copying enabled Samsung to become successful on some thing they haven't designed themselves. And I doubt that iUsers don't know that Apple wasn't the first smartphone. It was just first smartphone that actually worked great.
29. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Again, you have your point. They were sued because of copying. But hey, where are the infringement suits for the other chinese companies that actually copied the iPhone.
Okay, let's get over it.
It's obvious and as clear as crystal that Apple is only suing samsung for it's the only company that can bring apple down in mobile market.
That's the main reason. See, they added galaxy note and galaxy s3 for infringing the slide to unlock.And that was just wow.
If they really, really value their originality and innovation, they should sue every company for having rectangular slab with rounded corners phone.
I'm recycling what I have said before. Because you troll can't seem to understand it. Anyways, okay that's it. Good bye. :)
33. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Sorry but I must bring some cold water to this argument:
Of course you will sue something ONLY when you are damaged by it.
When you would sued someone who didn't make damage to you, THAT WOULD BE EVIL.
30. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Apple couldn't care less if someone copied them. They just want to slow Samsung down. In the original case, Apple wanted to ban the Galaxy S (which isn't even regularly sold anymore) and Galaxy S 2. Then we here Apple is trying to include the Galaxy S 3 and Galaxy Note as well. Then, a couple days ago we here that the Galaxy S 3 outsold the iPhone, which is the very first time one phone has outsold the iPhone to my knowledge.
So, Apple is suing the most popular Android manufacturer, but didn't include its most recent device. But, when they saw some sales numbers, they decided to include that as well. It's pretty obvious. Apple doesn't want Samsung's money because they felt they got cheated out of sales, they want their money to try and slow them down.
Apple doesn't want any competition. They have so many ridiculous patents, that if everyone were to abide by them, no one would buy anyone elses products except for Apple's because others would be so ridiculous. By suing Samsung for those patents, is basically saying, "Get out of the mobile industry."
Apple wants to rule the market, but not by competition and making great products; by suing everyone and making them make products so unattractive and dysfunctional that no one will buy them.
Some of Apple's ridiculous patents should be taken away, and they should be forced to make actual quality products instead of trying to win by legal action.
39. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I suggest you get familiar with history of Apple, maybe then you can get a clearer view on their business model, instead of just following the shallowest and the most missinformed media propaganda in mobile industry.
47. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It's simple. It's obvious they copied Apple with the original Galaxy S, so that should be banned, even though it isn't regularly sold now. The S2, not so much, maybe a little. That's fine, that's where the banning should end. But no, Apple is trying to go further though with the Note, which is NOTHING like the iPhone.
And now, Apple wants to go after the S3, which, again, is nothing like the iPhone, at all. It was a wonder why they wanted to go after it, considering how different they are. Then, the news came out that the S3 beat the iPhone in sales... It kind of comes together.
53. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Galaxy S3 is nothing like iPhone (that's why they say S3 was designed by lawyers), but Samsung must be punished because this isn't about particular products but business model based on stealing design solutions that enabled Samsung to accumulate popularity in the first place. Galaxy S is, indirectly, but still factually, responsible for success of S2 and S3.
Apple is damaged, not because Samsung got rich, but because Samsung got rich upon something they stole. So, it's logical, and law approves it, that the quility one should be punished.
If Samsung is not punished in this way, that would mean their copying of Apple was profitable and right decision. There were some articles that adressed this problem: in Samsung they were aware that they are copying Apple but estimated that this move would be profitable on the long run. And it was. Therefore, for the sake of justice, Samsung must be punished in those products that now make profits, despite the fact that they didn't copy Apple now.
I sometimes feel I'm the only one left who really understands the concept of fair competition and protecting non-material inventions in form of ideas and projects. Fair competition is when Sony has their design and Nokia theirs. And HTC theirs. Samsung was not fair at all, but it's disturbing that everyone think they were, and start to defend it on basis of some totally wrong arguments, like mixing technological and design patents, believeing that Apple was stealing etc. Have you ever considered the fact that Apple pays patent fee for every patent they use? For instance, they pay Nokia enormous sums of money. Are they in jeopardy because of that? No, they are still richest. So this whole thing doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything for progress, innovation or competiton.
54. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Look, like I said, Apple couldn't care less. They have billions more than they know what to do with. All I'm saying is, when the sales started piling up with the GS3, they suddenly wanted to ban that too. It's logic.
Also, Apple has also copied numerous times, without paying royalties. Steve Jobs himself said it, saying that he has "been shameless of stealing great ideas." And then he goes and patents those stolen ideas. They got rich off of those stolen properties that they implemented into products, which is the same thing you're accusing Samsung of. So shouldn't Apple be punished as well, to the same extent? Hypocrisy at its best.
You put up some good arguments, I won't deny that. But it all just comes back to Apple wanting to dominate the market by legal actions instead of actually making better products. Though, you are one of the more level headed commenters on this site.
65. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Things in the past are even more complicated. Because the concept of intelectual property was not yet fully integrated in the "mentality" of Industry. Although many companies practiced the patent-laws, Apple was first to develop it to such an extent that it's the basis of the whole industry.
But this is logical. Although explanation should be very extensive to count as an argument, I shall say it in short. We now live in an economic system that is based on tertiary sector of production. It's even possible that we entered the possible quaternary era that is based on completely symbolic forms and design - branding, PR, marketing campaigns - anything that flows through mediasphere and not producing anything real or even producing services on which people benefit.
This is important because Apple actually produces quaternary products. They are not based neither on hardware of software (although these must exists), but on symbolic forms that are constituded through ideas of way of life and identification.
This will maybe sound strange but I believe that Apple has never steal or copied ideas. Because those "copied" ideas are not actual products. Actual products of Apple are ideas how to implement some ideas. And those are their ideas.
I know Apple's history very well. I know Steve Jobs was stealing Xerox GUI just to accuse Microsoft for stealing it from him!
His personality was a story of its own. The important thing is that he understood the problem of protecting ideas.
Second Jobs' Era, as I like to call it, that began in 1997., was filled with new ideas that aren't actually stealing from anyone. But, there is a global misunderstanding of what idea or invention is. They say tablet was not Apple's idea. Well, it's not. It was Microsoft's idea. But, Steve Jobs never said it was his idea. His idea was tablet that has litteraly nothing to do with past tablets except the name of the species of devices. It's just an example.
So, Apple did invent, but they didn't invent technology or types of devices. They invented ther implementation ih human society. And they were also aware that, precisely because in world with dominant tertiary or quaternary sector of production, that ideas bring most profits. So, protecting those ideas is of key importance to today's economy. It would be nice that ideas belong to everyone, but then we should be able to give up this capitalism and advanced technologies and go back to industrial society from our post-industrial world. So, let's be fair and say that this is not possible in this configuration of World. Luckily, now the World will be much more cautious on those matters. Apple was cautious from the start, and now Samsung will be. I hope so at least.
67. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Nevertheless, Apple should be punished for stealing ideas. They didn't invent multi-touch, which they patented. They didn't invent the rectangle, which was one of the reasons they sued Samsung for their "design". They didn't invent the phone icon in that certain fashion, another reason they sued. They didn't invent slide to unlock, which they patented. All of these things were implemented into previous devices before the iPhone. Yet Apple is the one that has a right to sue people for things they did not invent, and were unrightfully granted patents for? That's not ok.
Another thing, most of these patents Apple is suing for, is only practical. Apple can't patent basic necessities for a smartphone, because if everyone were to abide by those patents, either manufacturers would make something along the lines of a yellow hexagon, which no one would buy; or they would have to pay copious amounts of money to Apple (see Apple's demand for $40 for every Samsung smartphone and $30 for every tablet) and they would go out of business.
Would you buy something that was something like an octagon, didn't have a centered display (which would drive OCD people crazy), and didn't have multi-touch? Not at all. You see what I'm getting at here?
71. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I know what you are getting at. Like majority of people, you state the same arguments. But, I presume I know a little bit more about design than majority of people since I'm highly educated industrial designer and aesthetic theorist. I'm sorry for stating this, it's not an argument but I hope it means something considering this medium of communication as not appropriate for me to lay down all the explanations.
The point is that design cannot be truly protected because its a qualitative, not quantitative category. So, it cannot be quantifiable. You cannot reduce something on rectangles or even detailed parameters to prove that something was copied or not. It's copied when something is unambiguously visualy similar to something. This evaluation must be conducted among experts in this field, and their decision must be respected no matter what others think.
It was allways obvious that Samsung copied Apple, the legal dispute was just a formal excuse for the process of stating that Samsung is evidenlty guilty. It was not actually about rectangles, edges and icon rows. Let's not be so naive, especially with reductio ad absurdum argument "so, we should be having triangles instead?". It's not about rectangles and icons, but about structural logic. Structural VISUAL logic, to be exact. I won't go as deep to explain what structural logic means, I hope you will just blindly believe me just as you believed the propaganda ;-)
72. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
If it was deeper than rectangles and icons, Apple would have stated so in court. But they didn't. I understand visually, the GS2 and GS1 and similar to the iPhone (less so as the series moves forward), there's no doubt in that. But also put into play, the U.S. is Apple's biggest market if I'm not mistaken. And when Samsung moved the Galaxy S series into the U.S., they changed the design, mainly removed the home button, and made it different from carrier to carrier (except with the S3). At that point, you could easily differentiate it from the iPhone, it literally could not be mistaken unless someone had bad eyesight, or was looking at it from a distance. All these variables are coming into play, and basically making the argument of copying useless.
The truth is, everyone copies. Apple has copied, Samsung has copied, Microsoft has probably copied, etc. They are all at fault. So, should they all be punished? That is fair, isn't it? Samsung copied Apple with the original Galaxy S design, and some of it's software. Apple copied with its software, and was granted patents that shouldn't have been granted. Should Samsung give Apple all the money they asked for? And should Apple have some of their patents revoked, and have to pay for the things they took? That is the only way you could make things right.
80. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Apple didn't state that it was deeper and more obscure than rectangles and icons precisely because of inability of design patent law system to quantify the design structure. They would have no case with explaining something that's not covered in patents (and only technical specification could cover that), because dispute was about patents that could be feasible, otherwise it doesn't make sense to sue somebody.
Similar example was in my country recently. The well-known designer sued Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of campaign that utilises something which is his idea but not licensed, because it was thought that his idea belongs to everyone (graphic design of non-formal political identity of our country). He sued Ministry because the solution had 90 percent of surface identical to his solution. However, he could not prove that it was a copy because those 10% difference was actually 100% difference, completely changing the message and context. In my country we don't have design patents, but it's now clear that if we did, something would be terribly wrong because he would win the dispute - and that would be wrong. Because design had to be quanifiable. So, it's basically something that its not quanititative and exact category being made exact and quantifiable. For instance, ideas are something that essentialy (ontologically) cannot be stolen. But system must make them "stoleable" by quantisation.

berzerk000 the s2 is a bigger version of the s1. how can you say that? u make no sense. they made no big changes except the physical size of the phone. so therefore the s2 infringes upon the iphone as well.
61. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
They changed the software also. And the changed the design a bit, differentiating it more from the iPhone.
58. ftyler223 (Posts: 140; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
the s 3 is a bit like the iphone buddy. they tryed to market s voice like apple did a yr ago with siri. clearly samsung follows apples lead here
63. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Not really... People can CLEARLY tell the difference between the GS3 and the iPhone. Also, things like Siri have been around for a long while, it's just a natural voice assistant. Nothing really new... It's not like Apple made Siri anyways, they just bought it. It was an app in the App Store, then they bought the company, took it out, and made it exclusive to the 4S.
74. ftyler223 (Posts: 140; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
berzerk all this i know. im just stating the fact that the samsung follows apples foot steps and copies them so bad that they even advertise features like s voice
76. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
That's not really fact. That's observation, and a hypothesis based on that observation. Who knows, Samsung could have been working on S-Voice before Apple bought Siri. We'll never know until we see official documents.

It's also true, LG can sue Apple for that (was the 1st), !

But Motorola Atrix WAS the 2nd introducing the fingerprint scanning.

Good luck for that, you moron.

I take this all as an update to iPhone 4s rather then the new iphone.
New design ? New contacts menu ? Show me what is new about it ?
It has all just been updated. Nano sim ? I have samsung S2 which is half slimmer then iPhone and it uses the standard old sim card. So dont understand what they trying to do here. New smaller connector ? So i can throw away all my speakers and devices that were done for iphone.
I personally see nothing new and groundbreaking on this new iphone. This is just update to 4S which is nice, but would never be enough for me. Not after 2 years of waiting.
17. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I heard they were going to include an adapter in the box, so all the docks and connectors and whatnot will still work.
60. ftyler223 (Posts: 140; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
peter the s2 isnt slimmer than the 4s. youre wrong. i used both phones at the same time for 5 months. iphone is definately slimmer so your non factual statements can just stop....
64. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Galaxy S 2: 4.93 x 2.60 x 0.33 mm
iPhone 4S: 4.54 x 2.31 x 0.37 mm
The iPhone is .04 mm thicker than the S2. Do some research before commenting, it makes you sound a lot more intelligent.
68. ftyler223 (Posts: 140; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
berzerker damn way to hate on the guy who was on your side. honestly like i said ive used them both at the same time. and despite the actual measurements for some reason the iphone still looks slimmer. kind of weird. you sure u didnt mess that up bud?
70. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Scroll up for a minute, then type in the PA search bar; iPhone 4S. Open it in a new tab. Then, go back to the search bar, type in; Galaxy S 2. Open in a new tab. PA lists the devices dimensions. I didn't mess anything up.
How exactly were you on my side? Back in the comments, you were trying to prove me wrong by saying the Galaxy S 2 and 3 were like the iPhone, which they aren't. Don't believe me? Scroll up again. Comments are right there. And, all I said was that there should be an adapter in the box to make the connectors and docks work. I agreed with everything else in peter's comment.

That finger print scanner and mission control are pretty cool. Would love to see if this is the actual product, very promising. Also, what's the A6 processor? I thought they were going to use the A5X that's in the new iPad? Is it an A-15?
24. Peter27 (Posts: 233; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
Very promising ?
48. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Yes. If this were the actual product (which I highly doubt) it would seem to be a decent upgrade, with some good features. Especially if the A6 chip is quad core or A-15. I wish they did something different with the display though, and a more different design. That mission control idea as well is very nice, I like it. Apple should take notes from these concepts.

text: Today is my sweet little girl's 3rd birthday! I can't believe she's already three. It's kind of bittersweet. I'm sad that she's growing up so quickly, but she is growing into the sweetest, most generous and kind little girl I know. She has an amazing sense of humour and she amazes me every single day with how smart she is. She is a wonderful little girl and I am a very lucky mommy. Yesterday we celebrated her birthday with a butterfly birthday party. She had so much fun. I am so glad I took vacation this past week, or I know I wouldn't have been able to pull this off. The butterfly cupcakes, although beautiful, were quite time consuming, as were the tissue paper pom poms. In the end, it was all worth it to see the smiles and hear the laughter from my little girl. I got a million pictures of the decor, which is great, but I didn't get a lot of pictures of the birthday girl herself. I tried taking pictures, but she was much too excited to sit still for very many. Plus, being by myself, I had to try to take pictures and keep Camden from pulling down the decorations at the same time. This was not easy. Once the party started, I got even fewer pictures. The house was just too chaotic and chasing Camden around is a full-time job. Oh well, I know she had a great time. When James comes home we're going to have a big party to celebrate both his and Kirsten's birthday together as a family. I can't wait. 45 more days!! Here's a couple pictures of the big day.

If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Best Running (Also Walking) Shoe
"Ever since I bought my 1st pair, I have never laid eyes on another brand. These are so comfy, no need to break in the shoe. Good from the get-go. I appreciate that they come in wide width especially with summer months coming up and my feet does swell up in the summer. I love the color combo of grey and pink. Tough and feminine at the same time. I find DSWs' pricing on this shoe is excellent, much cheaper than Marshall's when they carry this exact brand. Go ahead and order and you won't regret it."

Everyone has knocks this healthcare plan. I just got my update for next year and my premium is going down 5 bucks a month. I should be dancing in the street. Here is what they did. They raised my deductible from 1000 to 1400. also my out of pocket maximum expense was dramatically increased. So, If I don't have to use my insurance I will save 60 dollars a year, but if I have one expense it costs me $400 Whoopie..... Thank you Charlie (RIP) Wilson and Sherrod Brown.

The road of great expectations invariably contains its share of potholes. So it is with SundanceTV's The Red Road (Thursday, 9/8c), a lugubrious six-episode drama that's as overwrought as it is underwhelming, representing a rare misfire for the channel that brought us such outstanding originals as Top of the Lake and Rectify last year.

MGT415: A Practical Introduction to Risk Assessment
- Contents | Schedule | Additional Info
- Instructor: James Tarala
- 6 CPEs
- Laptop Required
Excellent introduction to the area of risk assessment.
Ernie Hernandez, US. Navy
A great course to help the info sec pro understand the auditor and vice-versa.
Eric Amos, Harbor Freight Tools
In this course students will learn the practical skills necessary to perform regular risk assessments for their organizations. The ability to perform a risk assessment is crucial for organizations hoping to defend their systems. There are simply too many threats, too many potential vulnerabilities that could exist, and simply not enough resources to create an impregnable security infrastructure. Therefore every organization, whether they do so in an organized manner or not, will make priority decision on how best to defend their valuable data assets. Risk assessment should be the foundational tool used to facilitate thoughtful and purposeful defense strategies.
|Course Contents

A USB port is also required.
If you have additional questions about the laptop specifications, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
|Who Should Attend
A basic understanding of information security and information security management topics is helpful for students attending this class.

The paradox of volunteerism
24 July 2008
by Liu Hai
As volunteers, my friends and I have participated in a series of volunteering projects in metropolitan Manila during the past few weeks. We managed to understand and appreciate the people and culture, and we did have a wonderful time.
However, besides enjoying the food, the scene and the work, doubts also arose in my heart when I gradually found that we were actually living in the same old way rather than adjusting ourselves to the new environment. Our life pattern here is nothing but an ironic paradox.
We go to visit the poorest areas during the day, and work hard for a couple of hours. When the night comes, we take off our dirty shirts, dress up and go to the most prosperous area of the city, killing time in nightclubs which charge high entrance fees. That is to say, we not only witness, but also experience, the extremes of poor and rich, hardship and comfort, within one day.
I cannot help but wonder if we are really able to understand the struggle, the pains and the life of those whom we want to help. We would love to join them and do what they do for a day or a week, but we always know there is another world waiting for us.
I am not saying that many volunteers lack sincerity or they are hypocritical, because I do believe most if not all of them are kind from the bottom of their hearts. What I want to point out is that while we are offering help to others, it should be more than sympathy and gestures.
An effort to erase the emotional gap between people who are divided into different groups is even more important. Otherwise, volunteerism would become a decoration or spare-time hobby of the comparatively rich. After all, it is not easy for a nice gentleman who sits in a fully air-conditioned room to understand the feelings of those who lie on the street, under the ridiculously high heat.
As I am typing these words, my sense cannot stop reminding me that I myself am a person who loves a comfortable and convenient life. It is not wrong or evil of you to enjoy some material comforts and have entertainment if you can afford them. Therefore, I cannot find enough reason to force those, including volunteers, who lead an easy life to turn into ascetics.
Now, it seems I have come back to the cliché of whether the rich could really help the poor, but I don't want to give an arbitrary judgment. I think what matters most is the willingness to open our minds to another different world, no matter to which extent we can actually change ourselves.
Paradox is somehow inevitable, but we volunteers should at least recognize it, and remind ourselves of it.

Bill O'Brien took the Penn State job not knowing of NCAA sanctions, or at least not the severity of those sanctions, but he did accept the position after the Sandusky scandal.
We knew he was a pro coach and deep inside, even though we hoped he would stay, we knew he wanted to be elsewhere. Our deepest thanks for his service for the last two years (reported at $3.2 million per year).
As I have watched him the last two years and listened to the radio shows Thursday nights from Damon's, I noted a deep commitment to and protection of his players. However, when faced with a critical question from a fan, I found his answers frequently abrupt and almost rude.
It didn't bother me that he did not answer or became angered at a reporter's question after a loss, but I felt he had the same attitude toward Penn State fans. I don't think he ever grasped or felt the commitment and passion and heritage of the Penn State faithful through thick and thin.
I don't feel like he "loved" Penn State, as Mickey Kwiatkowski, his ex-coach at Brown, professed.
Money, prestige, position of importance, yes, I think he loved those, but he really showed how he felt about Penn State, and I don't consider it love.
O'Brien was paid good money and did a good job. I do feel his playcalling and game-day coaching need to improve and wonder if his new employers watched the tapes of Ohio U. and Virginia last year or Indiana, UCF, Minnesota or Nebraska this year.
Good luck to O'Brien and Godspeed.
We heard Colin Cowherd repeat the remarks O'Brien made to David Jones about the PSU fans and community and the Paternos. It is filled with venom and, regretfully, O'Brien never grasped how the PSU community embraced him.
"O'Brien's Lions" adorned hundreds of thousands of T-shirts on Penn Staters, but the comments to Jones, as reported, prove that there was never such a thing because, indeed, O'Brien was never a Nittany Lion. He could have been, but he chose not to be.
Now we see how he really felt about Penn State., and we are moving forward without him. Don't look back, Bill, because unlike Tom Bodett and Motel 6, "We will NOT leave the light on for you."
Ed Hill
Doomed to failure
As many others before him have discovered, coaching certain teams or certain players in the NFL, is the pinnacle of coaching football.
But any job in the NFL? No.
Bill O'Brien has taken a step down from what he has built here, and Christian Hackenberg, to a No. 1 draft choice. Maybe his gamble will pay off, and he'll actually be able to take that player and build a franchise around him.
But I'll go on record that in at most three years, the Texans fire O'Brien after a disastrous record.
Richard McLaughlin
New Year's bummer
What a way to begin the new year - only to find out:
There is no Santa Claus,
There is no Tooth Fairy,
And ... there is no Bill O'Brien.
My heart is broken.

Cmor's coverage a cut above
The Mirror's Philip Cmor is my high school football hero.
I emailed him at the beginning of the 2013 football season concerning Rockwood dropping the sport and my belief that Ferndale should. His reply, while I didn't agree with all of it, indicated his love and knowledge of high school football.
Last Sunday's Mirror contained the 2013 high school all-star team, and the end product was spot on.
I just love high school football. I have officiated the sport and, though retired, I remain fascinated by the sport and attend as many games as I can.
I saw Central, Tussey Mountain, Northern Bedford, Williamsburg, Chestnut Ridge play at least two games each.
Cmor's selection of Williamsburg's Austin McMonagle as second team quarterback was perfect. Blake Over was this area's best quarterback. Over, McMonagle and Central's Austin Cunningham were the area's three best QBs and properly ranked.
The selection of Williamsburg's Brice Young was perfect also. I am not sure who will be throwing to him next year, but he is a terrific receiver. I was very disappointed Williamsburg didn't make the playoffs; those 22 kids played hard and never gave up.
I also wanted to compliment Cmor on the selection of Central's Jared Ponder on the 2013 Blair County all-stars. Ponder never took a down off. He and Central safety Mike Mock played their collective hearts out against Christian Lezzer and the Clearfield Bison. To me, Ponder's selection meant that an athlete deserving of recognition received it.
I know Cmor didn't make the selections by himself. However, he filters all through which of these all-star teams were named, and he did a marvelous and conscientious job.
Again, Philip Cmor is my hero.

Fake "Apple" apps appeared in Google Play Store
0. phoneArena 17 Nov 2012, 21:26 posted on
Six apps in the Google Play Store, said to be from "Apple Inc."were actually fakes even though they were"priced" the same as the legit apps in the App Store; the fake apps included the incorrectly written "Garage Band"...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I wish Apple would put GarageBand on Android and sell MicroUSB adapters for it or for Google to do something like GarageBand...
I'd seriously love to record my guitar with no background noise on my phone or tablet, but I guess PC will do for now.

47. HäckeMáte (Posts: 168; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)

Google needs better quality control. This shouldn't have been accepted at all.
4. OptimusOne (Posts: 694; Member since: 22 May 2012)
i actually agree with you
6. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
agreeing with him means agreeing with every other negative thing he HAS said and will CONTINUE to say.........yes he is correct here but its not about being correct with him its more about his hatred for android and google as a whole...........So dont fall for it bro I seen it too much to agree with it........peace
9. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Well I know he hates android , but in this post he said the right thing so I thumbed him up when he says something that's irrelevant on the next post I will thumb him down again ? What's wrong with that ?
10. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
why? because what he is "secretly" saying is...."See I told you google is no good" or " See Google doesnt know how to do anything good" ......and all other negative things.....Thats why you shouldnt support that until there is a sense of "sincerity" coming from him .....how will you know when? well you know if someone is yelling at you or if someone is glad to speak with you, do you not?
16. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Google will only get better if people critic them .
So there is no need to defending google to the death . But i agree with him in this case Google does need better quality control .
Well , he is always gonna hate google anyway . Just that in this post he stated the right thing .
Its pretty obvious that this guy is just a troll , i dont think we should argue about him . Peace
30. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
yes we need criticism.....but unneccessary criticism is somthing different.....all in all well see how "consistant" he is in the future............ignore him? yea thats somthing ive done for a lot his post with the exception of a couple.........wondering how in the world this guy hasnt been banned yet......but ignoring is somthing you gotta do with someone like wendy lol........not him
38. lifebeyondearth (Posts: 25; Member since: 03 Oct 2012)
In this context he has commented in your favor.
Yeah what is wrong with you? Let him be and learn to appreciate others' opinions as well, else one day nobody will appreciate yours!
43. SuperMaoriBro (Posts: 526; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
Put down your phone/tablet/pc. Go outside, take a breath, see some friends, kiss your misses, have a bbq. Idk. Just do something other than study what some random person you dont know who really shouldnt matter posts about on a phone site.

@XPERIA-KNIGHT: You seem to have developed an illness or an obsession dude. Who the f**k cares what he "usually" comments about? This ain't a novel with good/bad characters. Chill out and just read the damn opinion and then thumb up/down it accordingly...

23. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I agree. Even the faithful Apple fans.....at times they say something I agree with. I cant just agree or disagree with someone on general principle.
I got a boat load of red thumbs one time just for basically telling him nice post... lol
21. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Well, it´s the second post I have ever seem from him that makes some sense (in all times). You have to give him some credit for that :)
All the others where completelly and utterly useless bashing on Android.
26. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Yeah , most of the time i just give him a red one and ignore . So true
18. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
He is a Apple troll who enjoys special relationship with PA since he rarely gets banned whereas i got banned for writingn "IFAIL" whereas PA writers themselves use phrases like GOOGLE FAIL. Maybe i will get a warning for posting this ...
27. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Last week when i wanna post a comment on the Nexus s and xoom not getting 4.2 article my comment was blocked because it contain a banned word , guess what the banned word is ? googl
So its impossible to type google .
After sending a report to them they finaly fixed it
He didnt get banned because he doesnt use foul language and he doesnt flame wars . All he ever did is left a stupid comment and left . In the moderator's eyes he's a good boy
5. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Control is necessary, like removing all apps containing the word "memory", or everything has similar feature with an Apple's app like Siri even existing before on Apple Store.
17. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
yeah... and putting lots and lots of apps that costs $270 in the playstore with title saying ''most expensive app'' with badly drawn icons.
8. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
Not sure what you're talking about. Quality control is excellent, even better than Apple's. It was removed very quickly especially considering the amount of apps available... quality control is different than having a closed and restricted environment (despite this, Apple has even more percentage of malware). Check out the other article and you'll see how great their quality control is:

Truth is revealed....
11. Cyan3boN (Posts: 444; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
for once you are right. and for once thumbs up are greater than the thumbs down for u. lol
14. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
I agreed with you. as a long time android fan, i have to admit that google playstore is bad in quality in terms of apps. Look at the amount of 3-1 starred rated apps they have in there.
iOS' apps store have better quality apps. And Apple did a good quality control over that.
If some of you immature android fans dislike this comment, it goes to show that you cannot accept the strengths and weaknesses of any other products besides google's.
24. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Dont agree totally about quality. Even tho I think iOS apps look and function better in some cases. E Trade app was one that was better on iOS. Thats one case and I dont think its bad on Android. Its just that on iOS its better. I will say for some apps that are on both Android and iOS....on Android I would call them good, iOS better.
Like E Trade....they looked the same, but was better functionality wise on iOS. Another example....speedtest.net app looked better on iOS....but functions about the same on both Android and iOS. And it looking better doesnt mean it looked like someone drew it in crayon on Android...lol.
I do agree 100% with that last sentence tho.

34. kingpet13 (Posts: 139; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
Its funny because I almost feel like you posted that comment to see how many thumbs down you could get, but you have 25 thumbs up. ONe of which is from me.

Yeah.. ik apple did a good work in controlling the quality of the apps in the apps store.. but google is not good at this..
I am an android fan guys. don't be mistaken.

I'm actually interested to know who dumb enough to download it in the first place, rather than how these fake apps got into Google Play.
19. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Two apple trolls at work basically :)
25. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
The said thing is.....most ppl probably would be fooled by this. A fav iOS app or one they hear alot about all of a sudden on Android? Most of us would know any app by Apple wouldn't be on Android.
I can seriously see my kids mother being fooled by this. And she might represent the average user of smartphones. When she first got her iPhone4, she couldnt find BlueTooth settings and thought she had to download an app. I had to search online to find out where it was...I knew Apple wouldnt be that crazy to leave it out. We were both used to it being in Network and Wireless settings on Android and Win Mo. We took different paths to find the solution...
22. joey41 (Posts: 45; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Yeah! Search for cydia in Google play &you'll find that a few hundred android users were tricked by a few apps. Which u can recognise on the description that its fake!!
I just reported it. Will see what happens
31. Quezdagreat (Posts: 428; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
That's google for ya smh
32. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Correction....thats a different app store policy for ya. You think for a minute if iOS or WP was as open it wouldnt have the same problems?
Agree, it could be better, but they chose this open policy. Gotta take the good with the bad. Question is...how long did it stay? Is it still there? Thanks to the users, community it was reported to Google.

It's amazing how fast the wind direction changes here. A few articles about Android market security get posted and everyone is on board with it. An article about fake Apple apps in the Android market and even die hards are complaining about Google needing to do a better job. If the title of this article would have been "Google super fast at killing fake Apple apps," all this whining would have been cheers instead. It's not new that a handful, especially in this case, of apps get submitted but it's always been Google's response to delete them as soon as they are brought to their attention. Why else do you think Google put the "report" button in each app. This is not the problem people are making it out to be, and unless you want a walled garden approach, wake up and see Google does have protocols in place to correct issues like this, even as far as deleting the app from your phone in worse case scenarios. Google is not asleep at the wheel here.
40. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Totally agree - just phonearena creating some overreaction to gain some readership...nothing new here.
39. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Well, those apps probably received a crappy rating, so I doubt many downloaded them, plus you can actually see the permissions prior to downloading them...no big deal folks...move along to something that is actually news.

Milwaukee police are asking for help identifying two people they believe were involved in a beating over the weekend.
Police said 50-year-old Kenneth Pierce was beaten outside of Jack's Liquor Store at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
The two people in question are seen entering the store in a surveillance video.
Pierce was later found dead outside his home Sunday morning near 51st and Fairmount Avenue.

Plate from 'The Grammar of Ornament'
'Plate LVIII - Hindoo No.3'
Published by Day & Son
National Art Library Pressmark 106.J.22
Jones published 'The Grammar of Ornament' as a rallying cry to all designers. He drew attention to the valuable lessons to be learnt from historical ornament.
'The Grammar of Ornament' was available in parts, which at the time made it an affordable option for young designers. It is still in print today - more than 150 years after its first publication - and continues to provide a rich source of inspiration for contemporary designers.
'Grammar' was a monumental publishing project that achieved standards of colour printing never seen before. It included 112 lusciously illustrated plates. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming vibrancy of the plates, Jones's core educational message was often lost. He had always intended that the illustrations should support the text, not the other way around.

We only use the best supplies to keep your family and pets safe. Absolutely no chemicals that leave toxic smells. Our cleaners have quite a few tricks up their sleeves - like using mineral oil instead of stainless steel polishing chemicals.
It's hard to find a good maid. That's why our cleaners must pass rigorous cleaning exams, and they're all fully vetted.
We'll come back and clean for free if you don't love it. We just ask that you let us know within 24 hours.

As announced at Mobile World Congress, Windows Phone will soon have support for the multitasking of third party applications. In this session we'll provide a full overview of how this is going to work, and how you can prepare your applications today.
Oops, something didn't work.
Interesting to hear about the number of automated test cases and scale of devices involved. Good info on user control of background agents across all apps in settings and which APIs are available from background agents/which not. Good to see feedback welcome on all the numbers still in tuning surrounding these features. Thanks Darin.
I'm no programmer, but I own a LG optimus 7 win phone .. And i must say it's the best I've seen, and I'm a very piky customer. The only thing witch would make this perfect is the use of the cellphone as a modem if pluged USB/micro USB to a laptop, or use the WI-FI on the cellphone to transmit it's HSPA signal to alow up to 8 cellphone/Laptop to use the signal to avec access to internet. Android allows it, but win phone 7 blocks it according to Telus and LG. So if Microsoft wants to stay competitive, better come with a solution very soon because this fail in the systeme is changing people 's opinion on a choice of smartphone. Never the less.., Very fluid, very good interface, speedy web browsing, Also !!! addition of a equalizer in Zune player on the cellphone would be AWESOME !!
