There really shouldn't be any problem. I use my Tungsten T2 on a work
site, and I have placed black electrical tape over the slot containing
my 1GB SD card to keep dust out.
If you plan to keep the card in there permanently, take a look at Card
Export II. It will make the SD card show up as a drive on your computer

I have met a handful of truly great men in my life.
State College Spikes General Manager Jason Dambach is one of them. He is the consummate professional in and out of work and a man I have grown to admire.
Jason just lost his fiance, Kerri McEachern, to a rare form of cancer. I want to express my sorrow to both families but also my gratitude to witness the love they shared.
It's mind-numbing to think that a beautiful 23-year-old women can die so young. It is just not fair. Kerri and Jason deserved better. They deserved more time.
I cannot begin to imagine the range of emotions this couple has gone through - the highs, the lows and now the goodbye. For the first time in my life, I truly understand what love is. Love is Jason and Kerri.
Jason has been so strong through this entire process. He was balancing a new job, a relationship and Kerri's fight against cancer. That is not an easy thing to handle and Jason did it with class, grace and kindness.
He made the three-hour trips to her home in Gilbertsville on the weekends to hold her hand. He sent out e-mails to keep friends and family up to date on Kerri's progress.
He made her better by just being in the room. He stood by her through good times and bad.
Men like this don't come by very often. Men like Jason are one of a kind and who I strive to be like. He will be in my thoughts and prayers.

JoePa right on expansion
I almost fell off my chair when I read the words "Pitt" and "expansion" in the same sentence from Joe Paterno concerning possible Big Ten expansion.
For someone who is continually cast as "old school," Paterno really showed some foresight and ingenuity with his comments.
Let's face it: Our out of conference games will continue to be weak, save Alabama and Virginia. A conference championship game makes a ton of sense.

The number of young people hospitalized with high blood pressure has nearly doubled in recent years, according to a new report published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension.
The increase is due largely to a rise in overweight children. Researchers found that about 17 percent of kids and teens are now obese.
Based on that number and data showing an increase of pediatric hospitalizations from 12,000 to 24,000 in less than 10 years, the group estimated between 1 and 3 percent of children in the U.S. have hypertension.
"Oftentimes we think that [hypertension] is a disease of adults," professor of pediatrics Dr. Debbie Gipson, the study's author, said.
"This reminds us that our children have hypertension, and they have it enough that they end up in the hospital," she added.
Obese children are more likely to have high blood pressure. Hypertension at a young age can lead to greater health risks as an adult like heart disease and stroke.

text: Why is the Berkeley County School Board wasting almost $70,000 on a special continuation levy election Saturday, Aug. 23? There are 66 precincts in our county and each precinct has five poll workers with each worker being paid pad $50 for mandatory training and $150 for the election day. Additionally, each precinct is allotted $50 for incidental costs. That adds up to $69,300, not counting publishing, ballot printing and early voting expenditures. For an issue that could easily be placed on the November general election ballot this year, that is a lot of money to waste. And, ironically, it is the school board under Superintendent Manny Arvon's direction that has authorized paying for it - the same board that is concerned about excess annual expenses.

Is the PRGF Living Up to Expectations? An Assessment of Program Designby Sanjeev Gupta Shamsuddin Tareq Gabriela Inchauste Mark Plant Benedict Clements Thomas Dorsey Emanuele Baldacci Nita Thacker
The creation of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) in late 1999 represented the culmination of more than two years of internal and external reviews and IMF policy discussions on the assessment and transformation of the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF). The PRGF now functions as the IMF's principal instrument to support low-income countries in implementing their poverty reduction strategies. Targets and policies embodied in PRGF-supported programs should emerge from the country's own poverty reduction strategy, as laid out in its PRSP or Interim PRSP (I-PRSP). Key features which PRGF programs have in common were identified as follows: Broad participation and greater ownership; Embedding of the PRGF in the overall strategy for growth and poverty reduction; Budgets that are more pro-poor and pro-growth; Appropriate flexibility in fiscal targets ensured; More selective structural conditionality; Emphasis on measures to improve public resource management/accountability; Social impact analysis of major macroeconomic adjustments and structural reforms. The remainder of this paper provides an assessment of the extent to which PRGF-supported programs have implemented the individual key features.

Cleaning the bathroom this morning I seriously wondered how much a urinal would cost. And how easy is it to install? Can you just walk into Home Depot and buy a urinal these days?
And the boys are just 6 years old and under, but I am starting to notice more need for frequent trips to the grocery store. They are growing. And so are their appetites. I nervously laugh when people say, "Wait until you have three teenage boys... they'll eat you out of house & home." What does that mean anyway?
It's always snacktime for someone here. And they're boys, remember. I also might as well have the broom & dustpan surgically attached to my hand, to save time, you know. I was recently sent a box of Fiber One Chewy Bars to review. I let Noah & Carter try them out and they would have eaten the entire box in one sitting if I had let them. So, I'd say they get a good review. Two dirty-fingernailed-thumbs up.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Retailers, grower-shippers, distributors, importers and other produce industry representatives last week converged here for the Fresh Summit International Convention & Exposition. An updated program of educational seminars and discussion forums reflected the further globalization of the produce industry. There was evidence of the this on the show floor, too. Turnout was good, if the gridlock inside the Anaheim Convention Center was any indication.

I am so fortunate to have been designing in crochet and other needlework forms for over 23 years! I have over 400 crochet and needlework designs published in books and magazines & now I am happily self publishing crochet patterns for sale. About a year and a half ago, my oldest daughter, Gina started her own photography business featuring newborns and families.
She asked me to design some crochet photo props (that are so popular today) she could use for her adorable babies. This venture has blossomed into a great partnership for us! I design and crochet baby items Gina wishes to use in her business and she showcases them beautifully with her professional photography. It is a match made in heaven!
Needlework came naturally to me. My mother taught me to knit at age 10, and I haven't been without a needle or hook in my hand since. Crochet has been my passion for over 30 years. I have been lucky enough to turn that passion into a design business for nearly 20 years. I love color! Skeins of yarn all together contain some of the most wonderful color! My most favorite thing is to look at all the glorious colors of yarn, combine it with a hook, and turn it into something cute and whimsical. I guess I never grew up ... lucky me!
Build-A-Shell BORDER baby blanket/afghan is FOURTH in a SERIES of new baby blankets designed specifically for BEGINNER crocheters OR baby photography props!
You are going to love the way this blanket works up for baby. The shell border is so beautiful and is really fun to crochet. The design works up quickly and then the finishing begins with the gorgeous shell border.
The blanket stitch pattern and the border stitch pattern is actually my most favorite stitch combination to crochet!
This blanket/afghan is also great for NEW BABY!
To crochet this blanket, you must be familiar with basic crochet stitches, ch, sl st, sc, dc and you will also be using the front post double crochet (fpdc) for the border.
The fpdc stitch is explained and also a link to a video is given in the pattern. If you know how to do the fpdc OR you have just learned, this border will be great practice for you to perfect your stitches!
Sample afghan measures 29 inches X 30 inches, which is a a big larger than our other baby afghans, but is also a PERFECT SIZE to swaddle baby for warmth and comfort, use in the car seat or stroller or it makes a wonderful prop for photographers!
This pattern also works up quickly for last minute baby shower gifts!
My instructions are very well written and very easy to follow!

Can Date of Birth Affect Personality? (Part 2)
Last week we blogged on how date of birth can affect one's personality, albeit not in the way astrologists suggest. There was a slight but statistically significant tendency for children born in summer months to become more outgoing in later life, and to rate themselves as 'lucky'. There is, however, another phenomenon that stems from birth dates, and one which can affect not only someone's personality but one's success in life as a whole.

In my never ending pursuit to perfect my airliner profile drawing skills, I have spent some serious time over the last few weeks revising and improving my 737 profile pencil-drawing that I've shown here before. ( http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo.../aviation_hobby/read.main/110416/) Mainly, I significantly darkened and enhanced all of the shading, and tweaked some things I thought I could improve on. Actually, I darkened just about everything, and I think it all "pops-out" and looks more realistic now. I think this "upgraded" version looks much better, and I'm extremely pleased with the results. Thanks for looking, and any comments are welcome and appreciated!
This is a pencil drawing and it measures about 11 1/2 inches from nose to the tip of the horizontal stab, for an approximate scale of 1:115.

The NFL and New Jersey tourism boosters are preaching the gospel of money.
Specifically, they're preaching that the Garden State's first Super Bowl is going to hail money, $550 million, in East Rutherford, Jersey City, and beyond - like Manhattan, which surely doesn't need the money even in the Bill De Blasio new world order.
But why would you believe the NFL or Jersey politicians about anything?
Nine years ago, the league forced folks to head to Jacksonville, the stripper-and-sirloin capital of North Florida, to watch the Patriots beat the Eagles, 24-21, not that we're still bitter. But Sunday's matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks will require far fewer fans to travel anywhere.

Do you want to know how to stay off cigarettes?� That really is the only goal in quitting smoking because everyone quits smoking all the time when they put out their last cigarette for the day and lay down to go to sleep.� The only problem is in staying stopped and anyone who has tried to quit smoking before knows that it is a long and hard battle to stay abstinent from the darn things.� Staying off cigarettes is not easy and even after it has been several weeks or months away from them you can still get the occasional crushing urge to smoke.
Well the first suggestion that I have for you is to create a zero tolerance policy in your head for smoking.� Make a mental deal with yourself that you will not smoke no matter what.� Then take your zero tolerance policy one step further and make a deal with yourself that as soon as you become aware that you are romanticizing the idea of a cigarette that you will immediately shut it down and think about other things.� This really works and if you stick to your policy of not allowing yourself to entertain the thought of "how nice it would be to smoke just one" then you will be much happier as a result.� See, if you allow yourself to think in detail about what it would be like to smoke then you are going to become miserable over time (unless you give in and relapse).� Your brain is going to be screaming that you are missing out on something great, whereas your brain will not care that it is missing anything so long as you do not allow it to romance the idea of smoking.
The next suggestion that I have is very simple but very powerful.� Most people do not like this suggestion at all and dismiss it out of hand, and that is quite understandable.� The suggestion is that you must exercise vigorously every single day for the first year that you are off cigarettes.� Now that is a tall order and I realize that it is a very demanding suggestion and it is no light task for a person.� However, I really believe that the physical benefit and the rush of dopamine that you get from vigorous exercise every day is enough to replace much of the same rush that you got from smoking.� There are many reasons that we smoked cigarettes but over time we trained out bodies to enjoy the rush of chemicals.� You need a way to replace that if you want to stay off the smokes in the long run.

If the show was any indication, the 65-year-old music icon – who spent last week at London's Royal Courts of Justice trying (unsuccessfully) to hammer out a divorce settlement – has all but erased Mills from his life. There were no photos of the former model in the video-montage shown during his five-song set, while there were nine shots of his late wife, Linda. ("That's my mum!" McCartney's daughter Stella yelled happily as the images lit up the screen.)
McCartney also paid tribute to John Lennon in his rollicking set, playing "Hey Jude" as his former bandmate's son, Sean, looked on from the 8,000-strong audience. Mark Ronson, who picked up the award for male solo artist, put his arms around his parents and sang along, pumping his arm in the air.
McCartney – who has been linked to several women since his 2006 separation, including Rosanna Arquette – said he's doing "fine" despite the divorce drama. "I'm better than ever," he told reporters. "I'm enjoying life."

Amy Winehouse PerformsThe show, hosted by Sharon, Ozzy, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, also featured a performance by rehabbing singer Amy Winehouse, who appeared nervous when she first launched into "Valerie." The five-time Grammy winner fidgeted and played with her hair but, as the crowd cheered her on, she eventually relaxed and allowed a smile to flit across her face.
Later in the evening, Winehouse emerged for an encore, belting out "Love is a Losing Game." "I love you, Blakey," she said as she finished, referring to husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who's in jail on assault and witness tampering charges. "Make some noise for my husband Blake!" (The crowd did not.)
In one of the night's strangest moments, Rihanna lost the international female solo artist award to Kylie Minogue – and apparently misheard the award's presenter. The "Umbrella" singer was already making her way to the stage when awards organizers stopped her.

Christians in central Nigeria are appealing for prayer after a new round of violence left as many as 80 people dead and more than 4,000 others displaced during the Easter season.
At least 19 people were killed this week when gunmen attacked the mostly Christian Atakar ethnic group in the Kaura district, located in a remote area of Kaduna state.
Officials suspect the attackers were Muslim Fulanis.
"There has been some misunderstanding between the Fulani and the Atakar communities for some time," Kaduna state police commissioner Olufemi Adenaike said. "We have dispatched our men for a thorough assessment of the situation."
"We request prayers for and extend our condolences to the families of all those who lost their lives during the tragic events of last week," Rev. Yunusa Nmadu, chief executive officer of Christian Solidarity Worldwide-Nigeria, said.

Cannon et al1 analyzed the predictive power of school performance (in the 1950s) in Finland in terms of later schizophrenia. Schoolchildren who were diagnosed as having schizophrenia in adulthood performed worse at ages 7 to 11 years in the nonacademic domain, mainly in sports and handicrafts. In the Northern Finland 1966 Birth Cohort2 at school in 1970s, we found that being in a lower-than-age-appropriate grade predicted schizophrenia (odds ratio, 2.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-5.1), but school marks, even in the nonacademic domain, did not.3

Healthy menu being promoted by Health Department to reduce obesity
Published on April 26, 2012 by TFP · No Comments
BANGKOK, 26 April 2012 – As the number of people with obesity in Thailand who are suffering from chronic diseases has more than tripled during the past decade, Department of Health Director General Dr. Somyos Dirasami has decided to launch a health campaign to promote a healthy life style among Thai people.
The objective of the campaign is to encourage Thais to eat foods that are low in sodium, sugar and oil. The campaign has been piloted at Prajaksilpakhom Camp Hospital in Udon Thani to improve the health of their patients.
Prajaksilpakhom Camp Hospital has been nominated a prototype learning center on healthy menus for other hospitals to follow since 2008. The obesity studies conducted during 2003-2004 and 2008-2009 found that the numbers of women and men having obesity rose from 34.4% to 40.7% and from 22.5-28.4% respectively.
Obesity is the cause of many health issues such as coronary heart disease and hypertension. In 2009, the number of obese patients suffering from heart disease and stroke grew four-fold to 558,000 compared to the previous decade. Patients with hypertension also rose 3.8 times. Those chronic diseases had cost the government 302 billion baht on health bills.
Dr. Somyos further stated that, besides hospitals, over 10,600 restaurants have participated in the campaign to create healthy menus for consumers. He said it is hoped that with more choices of healthy menus for Thai people, the obesity rate in Thailand will decline.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4
Listening to callers isn't a problem on either device, seeing that the volume is more than ample with their earpieces and speakerphones. Still, our ears tell us that the iPhone 5s is the suitable phone for chit-chatting because voices have a natural and distinct tone to them – whereas with the Galaxy S4, they tend to sound muted.
We can't complain much about the battery life of either smartphone, since they churn out easily that one-day of normal usage we so desperately look for in each and every device we check out. In the end, they're average at best by today's standards – so expect to recharge them frequently if you're a power user.
Battery life
We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage. All devices that go through the test have their displays set at 200-nit brightness.
Two high-end smartphone, two completely different takes in what makes them qualify as being high-end. At the very least, you're going to spend $200 with your signature on a 2-year contract to pick either one, but it's a matter of what's most important to you that dictates the winner in this particular comparison.
Being the new kid on the block, the iPhone 5s is a fantastic device that's very well rounded in being a high performer in the categories that matter the most to people – such as taking photos/video, call quality, and having a snappy performance. Additionally, it's packing along a cool Touch ID fingerprint sensor and a 64-bit based Apple A7 processor, which are two distinct things that we don't find on other competing flagships.
Sure, the Galaxy S4 continues to enthrall us with its imposing larger than life stature, as it's packed to the roof with some splendid hardware, but it even makes the grade with the software experience too. Whereas the iOS 7 experience is refreshing and adheres to that notion of being simple, Samsung goes the complete opposite route by offering us a ton of neat/gimmicky (depending on who you talk to, of course) software features. As the dust settles, there's no arguing that these two are wonderful smartphones that capture the essence of being high-end, so there's no wrong decision here. If premium and simplicity is more of your forte, then it's the iPhone 5s. And if hardware specs and diverse software features are more akin to your needs, it's going to be the Galaxy S4 for you then.

No comparison.
S4 is beating the hell out of 5same in every damn way. Sammy FTW.
6. RoyalPayne (banned) (Posts: 458; Member since: 07 Aug 2013)
How exactly? Coz all iv read everywhere is iPhone beating the S4 black and blue in everything. EVERYthing.

+1 iPhone 5S beats the S4s camera, completely crushes the s4 in The CPU and GPU department. Displaymate says that the 5S has the better display. And Ofcourse plastic isn't fantastic !
13. GamePlayer (Posts: 51; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
You guys stop it. Both are good in their own respective ways.Both are pretty different, and it depends on personal choices.
And yea mr. THE.DARK.KNIGHT, plastic is'nt fantastic but nor is an overpriced price tag.
24. nerdylish (Posts: 51; Member since: 13 Apr 2013)
How is the iPhone overpriced since both of 'em cost $199 on contract and start at $649 off contract?

33. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
The problem isn't the 5S hardware it is the fact that it is running IOS which is still years behind android in features, also 4" is too small. Wait a few months the new Intel baytrails will crush the snapdragon 800 + 5S. AMD will also be joining nvidia soon with some radeon branded phone APUs.

Care to explain the cliché "iOS is years behind Android"?

155. damienvox (Posts: 7; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
True multitasking?
Built in data usuage checker?
Had slide down notifications first?
Better slide down notifications?
Smart features?
Doesnt requite just one thing ahem itunes just to function?
Better range of software and devices to choice from to get what you want?
Makes sense when getting a new pc and installing drivers to said pc?
Doesn't require hard drive wiping before syncing up to new said pc?
All of these go to android amd so do other basics.
First flash
First front facing
First multi core processor
First standard setting 2 mp face time camera
First 1 gb 2 gb and now 3 gb of ram handheld
Also android
While apple got
First 64 bit processor
But that 64 bit architecture is designed for 4 gb of ram or up which iphone lacks.
So it isn't even properly useing it.
The touch id isnt first Motorola did finger scanning first although granted it failed.
So apple got two points.
Android got lets see. A whole LOT more .
See list above.
Icrap is dated it only runs well cause the os is from 205 qualityy heck windows 7 does better multitasking and notifications and its aging lol.
So that icrap processor runs so well cause there is so little going on.
Android devices need more because they actually are doing something.
159. CJC4L1F3 (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
Just because it had some specs first doesn't make it years ahead of iOS.The Wright brothers were the first to fly a plane doesn't mean they were to superior to everyone who came after them.
160. htainlintha (Posts: 41; Member since: 20 Mar 2010)
Oh,noob please, good example but wrong usage as apple is no where near a better plane or even a plane itself. Need more prove, continuous decline sales and market share of both tablets and phones proving it till today. Not to mention their laptops and desktops are totally hopeless compared to Microsoft, as even in Mac laptops or desktops they still need dual boot with Microsoft and software support of mac sucks big time. Porting mobile games to computers are equally ridiculous also. The finish line is simple they lost desktops,laptops,desknote,ultrabook area to Microsoft and tablets, mobiles and wearable tech area to Google and Samsung. Simple,apple as nothing and they can't live without Google(youtube,gmail,gtalk,hangout,google map(because apple map is a flop till today,everything is wrong) and Microsoft,while the other two can live without apple.

162. damienvox (Posts: 7; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
So apple having record breaking sales didnt happen for you? I do agree they aint a plane or as good as people think but apple is by no means suffering from sale issues.
48. number29 (Posts: 185; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
I'd say that the S4 running Android is it's biggest downfall. Give iOS and it'd be amazing! However, I find iOS the superior OS, hence I say this.
139. htainlintha (Posts: 41; Member since: 20 Mar 2010)
you don't need SGS4 hardware to run iOS,may be S2 will even do the trick :D LOL! SGS4 is a complete design for Android ,trust me ,powerful hardware to handle local apps running behind,widgets, web browsings,support full HD displays etc
85. promise7 (Posts: 877; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
4" is too small? not everyone wants a huge screen or r u speaking for everyone with no basis or support?
138. htainlintha (Posts: 41; Member since: 20 Mar 2010)
4 inch is like a chick-size these days buddy,only a few people and girls are comfortable with it, it is not good enough and big enough to view photos,movies, web browsing and gaming etc, may be because of the pixels limitations I guess, iphs just stick with the small size one, galaxy S4 jsutified the size with the full HD 1980x1080p HD Amoled display,true to tone. :)
144. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
People having weak eyesight want big displays and font
You call amoled better than retina
Retina is way brighter and sharper
Ur a kid shouting samsung! Samsung! Android!

Displaymate didn,t say so.
They said:
Discussing the pros and cons of the screens DisplayMate says:
The iPhone 5 is significantly brighter than the Galaxy S4, particularly for screens with mostly peak white backgrounds. Its color calibration is a bit better, although the Galaxy S4 has a more accurate White. The Galaxy S4 has a much bigger screen, higher resolution, higher PPI, much darker blacks, and better screen uniformity than the iPhone 5. They each have their own particular strengths and weaknesses…both displays are quite good and comparable overall – so it's currently a tie."
137. htainlintha (Posts: 41; Member since: 20 Mar 2010)
plastic is to give you access to batter and micro SD expansion which are pretty handy for travellers and normal everyday users,tell me one aluminium phone has the access of it,I can always see ip5s users running around like crazies in search of battery charger box and usb to extend the life,quite pathetic,isn't it? SGS4 E330S version beat in benchmarking as it has snapdragon 800 and adreno 330, ip5s 64 bit do beat in geekbench 3 on sgs4 marginally, but in geekbench 2 and Antutu,SGS4 wins over in ip5S again so? any problem? LOL!
check this one.ip5S is pretty weak compared to Note 3 and Sony Z1 in reality also
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 score
3013 /watch?v=WmzyKs1guDE
2991 /watch?v=WQ9frq772C4
2983 /watch?v=djGIQ87wmEw,this 3 will confirm you,there you go buddy. Z1 and note 3,outperform GB3 in reality. Cheers:D
165. iamnuyo (Posts: 2; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
You're clearly 2 things. 1. An iPhone lover 2. Complete dumbass. The camara does not crush the S4. Try taking a picture at night with both phones and see which one is clear. I'm a wireless consultant so I work with phone every single day and research them. The CPU and GPU isn't better. You're super restricted with an iPhone. The S4 grants you freedom and is fully customizable and the operation is fast. If you want a simple phone, the iphone is the way to go. But if you want an advance phone then go with the S4. Pay for Quality. Iphone is made with cheap parts. No work put into the phone. Have a good day.
166. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
As being a software engineer
I prefer iPhone because of its touch responsiveness and unmatchable speed
Galaxy S4 is too slow
It needs whole 5 seconds to open just contacts

so you haven't heard about, multitaskung, contast, 441ppi, sencors, 5" screen in second smallest and lightest flagship device (from all brands and screen sizes), swappable battery, SD support, IR , 13MP for details and pictute zooming, 2GB RAM......
By the way, if put this "powerfull" A7 (made by samsung on Exynos process, though) inside the GS4 and try to do the same tasks , it will be dead.
86. promise7 (Posts: 877; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
The hardware is manufactured by Samsung, but the A-series processors uses in the iPhones are all based on Apple's reworkings of ARM silicon.

How can an Outdated, over priced, Boring iPhone 5Same beat a superior Galaxy S4? in real world, S4 Wins in performance. Because iPhone 5Same with that girly laggy iOS7 makes it more uglier. hahaha
104. SilverSurfer85 (Posts: 28; Member since: 12 Apr 2013)
S4 has a bunch of stuff that the average person wont, or doesnt need. Take away some of those features and there WONT be any type of COMP between the two. Everyone doesnt want a phablet, or right under that . Some of us like things that are still portable.
151. GoogleSafariFox (banned) (Posts: 100; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)
Agreed. Simply, most iSheeeps around here are just typical lame a$$ fanGays. Some can't even afford to buy an iPhone 5 or 5S. LOL Simply DELUSIONAL iFANS. S4 wins anyday! Very advanced and Cool Phone! And NO LAGS on it! iPHONE 5shiit, Jeeeez. OLD DESIGN, The design is so 2007! Features are OUTDATED AND USELESS. The Over priced tag never fades too. Nah, iPhone 5Shiit is a complete Mess! S4 ROCKS!

Have ANY of you actually went to a store & spent time using & comparing the phones for how they work for you instead of showing the internet that you know how to read numbers & do math? Just because the numbers are higher doesn't mean anything, based on the user. I sell both of these phones & it's really all based on preference.
I use android (RAZR Maxx is my main phone, also have an S4 & an Optimus G Pro) so I obviously know how it works for me. This weekend I'm taking the 5C home to see if I could see myself using (an iPhone) for my everyday use. I already know based on screen size, iPhones are not for me. Still gonna test drive it & see if I prefer that interface over android. At the end of the day, that's really what it comes down to, NOT 'Oh the S4 is better because.... the iPhone is better because....'
128. donutwindy (Posts: 6; Member since: 16 Sep 2013)
Not everything. I like how reviews miss the point of android. Stock android vs IOS? Who uses stock anything on android? My home screen currently has 64 icons and two widgets displaying my calendar and weather all at the same time. I wish apple would do several things: Removable battery (my phone is running 6400mah and runs for days because of a larger replacement battery), more icons on the home screen (or at least the ability to select how many and what size). Widgets on screens, Swype for the keyboard (faster for me than hunt and peck). Bigger screen.
as for android phones, Sammy screens kinda suck. Try reading one outdoors, Apple is still the gold standard there. Build quality, no comparison, definitely Apple. The stock interface on an s4 looks like it was made for four year olds. (but fortunately, its replaceable, and I have). And there are and will always be, more and better apps for IOS. (because people who buy androids aren't willing to spend anything. I know several developers for IOS that only develop there for that reason)
of course if Apple let people develop IOS apps using a windows pc, I'd develop for them too. (big oversight).
I'm totally android, but if Apple changes the above items, I'd love to go iPhone. (I probably will go with the iPad mini though.. I think it rocks)
iPhone camera's better too. (they've always been cutting edge there, love the two tone flash, Samsung will likely copy at some point).
Neither phone wins at everything.
136. yazminaston (Posts: 1; Member since: 02 Oct 2013)
the camara on the s4 is better
you can put extra memory in the s4
you can remove the battary (which is handy)
you can make payments with the s4
you can play 1080p videos with s4 iphone is only 720 i think
group play on s4
A feature called Smart Stay keeps your Galaxy S4's display lit while you're looking at it. It can detect your eyes using the front-facing camera. This is a very useful feature because it can prevent your screen from going dark while you're reading something. which the iphone doens't have.
so there is quite a few things that makes the s4 better
142. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
Iphone 5s beats samsung in many ways
Fingerprint scan. Vs blank
Dual core 64 bit is better than octa core
Dual flashlight vs single
Metal vs plastic
3d icon display vs normal
Retina vs amoled
Now tell whos the winner huh
147. htainlintha (Posts: 41; Member since: 20 Mar 2010)
Let me put it this way buddy SGS4 vs ip5S
1.Quad core vs 64 bit(ios is not even 32bit ready,with 1GB ram,it is a joke,so it is merely a gimmick,wait for Android,Samsung can do 3GB ram,when it comes with 4GB RAM,64 bit ready Android,stunning 64 bit quadcore processor,can't wait for it to happen)
2.13MP aparture 2.2 and 8MP (youtubedotcom/watch?v=DXddteoA-Ms)
3.NFC vs no NFC
4.Barometer,thermometer vs no new things
5.1080pHD vs screen lower than 720pHD(don't give us mindless excuses like apple did because human eyes can see more and TVs has proven it)
6.3D parallax effect? 3D icon is availible to Android application 3 years ago which you don't know at all.
7.metal vs plastic? (plastic gives you access to battery and memory expansion, light weight and damage absorption are additional points, I see many ip users running around like crazies when their battery is drying all the time, they need charger box or usb with them all the time)
8.launcher (thmese) vs same old iOS 7 like command center which is like Android.
9.2GB Ram vs 1GD Ram
10.2600 mAh vs 1560mAH
11.slow motion HD at 1/2,1/4,1/8 speed vs slow motion HD in ios7(do you know that slow motion is availible in Android long ago?,hope you know.)
12.wireless charging,smart cover,working with smart watches are additional points again. Tell me who is the winner? SGS4 FTW! and the list can go on
148. s4lemon (Posts: 2; Member since: 01 Oct 2013)
Yes but: The S4 lags and stutters so much it's been nicknamed the 'burper' - its like the damn thing has got indigestion. The 5s does not, it is extremely smooth and not a hint of lag.
All the specs. in the world are meaningless if the phone does not perform.
153. damienvox (Posts: 7; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
The 5s doesnt even do half as much as the s4 does so of course more specs but not same performance it has more going on.
Put the 5s ram and processor in the gs4 and my guess.
Your statement was like 2+2=4
156. friedrice2307 (Posts: 3; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
nope that's a bunch of bs, ip5s still lags.

I made an account just to tell you HOW stupid you are.
Good luck with privacy and your fingerprint been sold to the highest bidder.
Dual core 64 bit vs 8 core 64 bit
Really?, it has 4 times as many cores...
Flashlight, yeah that's the dealbreaker when buying a phone for the FLASHLIGHT
Metal vs plastic, yeah I'll let you have that one.
3D icon display, a gimmick.
Retina vs amoled, the galaxy S4 is better because it's 1080x1920, a higher resolution.
Go back to school kid.

i used to prefer apple until now but after 5s release i have come to the conclusion that apple is a money grabber company which sells cheap china stuff wrapped in a california label and design--a far cry from samsung atleast they speak the truth.and ppl like u think retina is something new but actually its just high definition display with a diff name similarly apple tricks innocent teens by using words like moments,retina and bla bla what so ever............. i like andiiiiiiroid!!!

It is the same old argument....Android and PCs are for people that like customization, features, hardware and software...iPhones and Macs are for noobs that like facetime and don't know how to work with simple GUIs....
Samsung picture, screen size, lightness, expandable memory, WAY faster (RAM beats a useless 64-bit chip in performance), esp when phone has...better color and resolution, and more capable of multitasking, widgets, universal chargers, Android btho of iOS (its a kids os), better touchscreen key software, voice to text, battery (which can be replaced cheaply, if needed, or removed if wetted), better gps and built in software, I never notice any lag issues, you can customize the GUI 10 ways for every 1, BEST OF ALL...no iTunes...you just click and drag files and media to your device.
If you want a smartphone, Samsung...if you want a kids toy...iPhone
*You know u have a weak argument when u are leaning on screen brightness, do you like less battery life? Contrast and gamma more important. Metal casing? Srsly? WGAF? We are all putting a polymer case on our smartphones
107. .AppleJack (Posts: 22; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
If we're talking about design the Galaxy Same 4 is not so far from the s3 design u.u
157. friedrice2307 (Posts: 3; Member since: 11 Oct 2013)
and this is coming from the icrap user.
you have noticed that your phone style has not changed for the past 4 or 5 phones. whoopdeedooo they added gold guys. its so much different. hee hee I so happy wit me icrap 5shait.
122. AKumar47 (Posts: 48; Member since: 11 Sep 2013)
1/4 mile dragstrip, 17secs(s4) vs 4sec(5s) quadcore vs dual core, haha!
i'll go for ip5s in ios and the upcoming nexus 5 for android and the bandit for wp8, that's all... haha!
143. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)

Dual core 64 bit vs quadcore
Fingerprint scanner vs blank
Dual flashlight vs single

fair review.
8. tech2 (Posts: 3451; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
I doubt that. Firstly, they tout their state of the art quantitative reviewing system e.g. benchmarks, display brightness, contrast, battery life, etc. and then they fail to implement them. It not only makes the reviews susceptible to biasness but also makes review very subjective.
Its not a comparison review when you actually don't 'compare' anything quantitative and only present your thoughts about them. The review should simply be called 'John V.'s thought on Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S'
Note: I replaced 'vs' with 'and' as there are no winners in mostly any of PA's reviews.

Honestly, between the two, 5S for me. I just hate Touchwiz. If it were the Google Play edition GS4, however, it would be different.
34. Long1 (banned) (Posts: 399; Member since: 18 May 2013)
Touchwiz is the best thing that happened to Android so far.
38. quadrazeus (Posts: 359; Member since: 03 May 2013)
Sarcasm much?
43. Long1 (banned) (Posts: 399; Member since: 18 May 2013)
Sarcasm? LOL
You will never see Android devices with such functionallity as with Touchwiz.
45. quadrazeus (Posts: 359; Member since: 03 May 2013)
Awwwwwwwwww STFU.
63. SupermanayrB (limited) (Posts: 571; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
I disagree. I prefer Motos interface to Sammys, but that's because it works for me. I'm just used to Motorolas. Been using them as a smartphone since '06. Well, the Q doesn't count since it was Windows.
67. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
In your opinion. I think the icons are cartoon-ish and the overall interface is cluttered. I much prefer stock or Motorola's UI, even Sense is minimalistic and clean now. The Galaxy S4 lagged like crazy when it first came out because Touchwiz bogged it down so much, even now after a few updates to make it smoother it still has a few stutters (on the Snapdragon 600 version at least).
It might have a ton of features (gimmicks to some), but that doesn't mean it's the best. Functionality is great, but when it intrudes on the experience like it does currently, something needs to change.
70. wildfiregt (Posts: 167; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
The S4 is better than the other in many parts because actually has features that can't be ported to other phones. If you don't like how looks touchwiz you just download themes ,yes it exists you know ! or at least ,there are so many custom roms. Here the s4 beats everything
73. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It's not just about looks though. Yes, it has many features that other phones don't offer, but they slowed the phone down, which is a problem. What's the use of all those features if you can't use them efficiently without lag and stutter?
Also, many of the features on the GS4 have been labeled gimmicks, meaning not useful features that mainly just take up space and are just used as marketing hype. And even if some features are useful on the GS4, some of them don't work well because Samsung went for quantity rather than quality when it comes to features. Instead of taking time to test and develop those features thoroughly, they just slapped them in there and let them be, which led to half-baked, awkwardly operated, and useless functions.
82. wildfiregt (Posts: 167; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
One thing you don't understand ,is OK many are gimmicks like you say. But who cares ? 1 of 5 is useful so at least you have features that other don't. If you care about lag ,well who told you the s4 lags when you turn off what you don't need ? again root your phone and use custom roms that's much better
88. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
1 of 5 are useful, so that means there are 4 that you don't need and just take up space. Yes, I can turn them off and that would eliminate *some* lag, but my memory is still being taken up. It's useless, and didn't need to be in existence in the first place.
Also, I shouldn't have to root and put on custom roms for my phone to run smoothly. The procedure and execution of tasks should be near flawless with a device out of the box, not cluttered, inconsistent, and a pain to deal with. That's what the overwhelming majority of consumers do, they use what the OEM has given them out of the box, and have barely even heard of rooting and flashing roms.
115. wildfiregt (Posts: 167; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
When i say custom roms ,i mean you have the features you need not relating lags. Correct me if i'm wrong, the s4 doesn't lag. stop talking without knowing

Pittsburgh airport moves to draw direct flights to more cities
PITTSBURGH -- In an effort to boost nonstop service from Pittsburgh International Airport, the airport authority announced Friday an incentive program for airlines that start service to popular destinations including San Diego, Seattle, New Orleans, Myrtle Beach or Jacksonville.
Airlines can receive a waiver of landing fees and possible marketing support depending on the route. The incentives would last two years, at which point the airport hopes the lines would be self-sustaining.
The airport offered the program in 2013, and Southwest Airlines qualified with a Nashville flight.

Leicestershire close on surprise win
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Leicestershire snapped up four late wickets to edge towards an unexpected victory against Hampshire at the end of day three in their LV= County Championship Division Two game at Grace Road.
They set promotion-chasing Hampshire a target of 441 to win, and then left them reeling on 77 for four by stumps.
Home skipper Matthew Hoggard took 2-24 in 11 overs and Wayne White and Alex Wyatt picked up a wicket apiece as Hampshire's top order crumbled.
Leicestershire declared on 265 for eight, leaving Hampshire with 132 overs in which to chase the unlikely target.
However, the four wickets in the evening session put bottom-of-the-table Leicestershire in with a real chance of clinching their second win of the season.
Starting the day on 68 for two, Leicestershire's objective was to add as many runs as possible to their healthy overnight lead of 243 and give themselves enough time to bowl out Hampshire for a second time.
They achieved the first part with little fuss, scoring 197 runs in just under 60 overs for the loss of six wickets.
Ramnaresh Sarwan and Ned Eckersley made a confident start to the day, taking their third-wicket partnership to 86.
Then both were dismissed in successive overs from Sean Ervine. The Zimbabwe-born seamer bowled Eckersley for 39 with a ball that nipped back before uprooting Sarwan's off stump as the West Indian batsman failed to connect with an expansive off drive. Sarwan had made 46 and hit seven fours.
The rest of the Leicestershire innings saw useful contributions from all the batsmen without anyone managing to reach a half-century.
Josh Cobb hit 42, with seven fours, but then chipped a return catch to Liam Dawson, and Shiv Thakor scored an impressive 45. He fell gloving a catch behind, trying to pull a short ball from Kabir Ali.
White injected some momentum into the innings with an unbeaten 35, which included a towering six off Dawson. When the left-arm spinner dismissed Nathan Buck to claim his second wicket just before tea, the declaration came. Ervine finished with 3-37 off 20 overs.
It meant Hampshire were left with four sessions to go for victory or survive, but they made a poor start by losing three wickets for 42 runs in 18 overs.
Hoggard had Michael Carberry caught at short midwicket, White knocked back Neil McKenzie's leg stump and Simon Katich edged behind off Wyatt.
However, they suffered an even bigger blow when captain Jimmy Adams was caught behind off Hoggard shortly before the close, after grinding it out for two hours and scoring 22.

If you ever doubted America's unabated love for raunchy comedy, look no further than this weekend's box office results.
To be sure, the folks at Viacom's (NASDAQ: VIAB ) Paramount Pictures are laughing all the way to bank after Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa pulled in a whopping $32 million from domestic audiences over the past three days. For reference, that's more than double the film's modest $15 million production budget, and even handily exceeded Saturday's preliminary weekend estimates, which called for a solid $25 million gross.
For those of you keeping track, Bad Grandpa also absolutely crushed Gravity from Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX ) Warner Bros, which earned second place here in the U.S. with a respectable $20.3 million weekend box office take. What's more, that makes Bad Grandpa the first movie to successfully snap Gravity's three-weekend winning streak -- a feat Sony (NYSE: SNE ) Pictures couldn't manage to achieve with either Captain Phillips or Carrie in their own respective disappointing debuts.
Even still, Captain Phillips managed to take third place by earning around $11.8 million during its third week, bringing its global gross to nearly $97 million so far.
Meanwhile, weekend box office newcomer The Counselor from News Corp's (NASDAQ: NWS ) 20th Century Fox rounded out fourth place with a dismal $8 million domestic debut, which barely beat the $6.1 million earned by Sony's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 in its fifth week.
Gravity is still a winner
But while The Counselor looks like a true flop at this point, remember I also mentioned on Saturday there's no reason to shed any tears for Time Warner.
As of today, Gravity has pulled in an incredible $364.2 million worldwide, albeit on a comparatively enormous production budget of $100 million. Even so, Gravity's fourth weekend domestic sales only dropped 32.4%, a slight acceleration from its 30.5% drop last weekend. For some perspective, note U.S. sales for Sony's Captain Phillips and Carrie each sagged 36.2% and 63.4%, respectively, during their own second weekends.
Here's what's next
Of course, that also begs the question: Will Bad Grandpa be able to maintain its momentum going forward?
I wouldn't count on it, especially considering Lionsgate is bringing the widely anticipated sci-fi thriller Ender's Game to theaters this Friday. And sure, Ender's Game and Bad Grandpa aren't exactly direct competitors, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Bad Grandpa's winning performance this weekend was simply the result of forcing movie-goers to choose from a less-than-stellar slate of contenders.
If that weren't enough, remember two weeks from now we'll be discussing how Disney (NYSE: DIS ) fared with the Nov. 8 launch of Thor: The Dark World. It's probably safe to say we shouldn't expect the Marvel sequel to set any Avengers-esque records, but it's worth noting its 2011 predecessor earned a whopping $449.3 million worldwide.
All in all, then, while kudos are definitely in order to Bad Grandpa for a job well done so far, he'd probably do well to enjoy his temporary fame.
Who wouldn't want a super-powered portfolio?
The world can't get enough of superheroes. Super powered movies have been some of the highest-grossing films of all time, and as these franchises continue to grow, the numbers are only going to get more impressive.

"I'd like to find that person," the comedian, 39, tells Playboy in a new interview. "I think Jimmy and I had every intention of spending the rest of our lives with each other. I love love. It's my top priority. Jimmy will tell you. I'm a good girl."
Silverman, who is now dating Alec Sulkin, a writer for FOX's Family Guy, says she and Kimmel gave it their best shot in their two stints together between 2002 and 2009.
"We were together for so long and tried our best to make it work," she says. "I can think of him now and don't have that edgy feeling anymore. I just love him to pieces."
She adds: "Sometimes loving each other isn't enough. You have to be responsible for your own happiness. You can't stay in a relationship because you're afraid of the unknown. But I will always love him. Sometimes I think maybe we'll die together in our old age or something."
It was happiness and a sense of humor that drew Silverman and Sulkin together. They were acquainted through comedy circles over the years, but Silverman became attracted while following him on Twitter. "I wrote him a note that said, 'You're funny,' " she says. "When we finally met, he came over to my place, walked in the door, put out his hand and said, 'Hi, I'm Alec.' We've spent every day together since."
Her new boyfriend apparently doesn't feel overshadowed by her old one. "He was the one who told me to watch Jimmy's '10 at 10' on Leno the day after he did that," Silverman says. "He isn't ruled by ego; he's just himself."
However the new relationship turns out, Silverman reiterates her long-standing aversion to the idea of marriage. "It's just not for me," she says. "I'm a vegetarian, but I don't have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it's gross and f***ing crazy. It's this superbarbaric, old-timey tradition that no one remembers we don't have to do anymore."
But love's another matter. It's worth chasing. "I really do believe in love," she says. "I've experienced it, I've had it, so I know it's real."
