Move over Prada, Gucci and Calvin Klein, the SanDisk Cruzer Contour flash drive, "is a unique fashion statement".
We know this because SanDisk says so. What it actually means, once you parse out the Web 2.0 idiom, is that the SanDisk Cruzer Contour doesn't look like a pack of bubble gum.
Instead, the SanDisk Cruzer Contour slopes downward at the back and there's no cap for its USB connector, which is stowed away inside the housing.
To access the connector you press down slightly on the SanDisk Cruzer Contour's top panel with your thumb, slide it back to expose the connector, and then slide it forward so the connector is extended. You do exactly the reverse to retract it. (Any questions as to why they call it a "thumb drive?")
Our only complaint is that while the tip of the SanDisk Cruzer Contour's USB connector has a spring-loaded metal flap to cover it, it often doesn't work - unintentionally exposing the opening of the connector to the most dreaded of all contaminants, pocket lint.
The SanDisk Cruzer Contour's literature contains some impressive performance claims - principally that it has a write speed of 18Mbps (megabits per second) and reads at 25Mbps. Both of these rates, according to SanDisk, are substantially better (double and two-thirds better, respectively) than "SanDisk's previous top-of-the-line model".
That's nice for SanDisk, but there are other flash drives and flash drive makers in the world. We tested the SanDisk Cruzer Contour against two Corsair contemporaries, the Flash ReadOut and the Flash Voyager GT using Simpli Software's HDTach benchmark.
The SanDisk Cruzer Contour's resulting 0.5ms random access speed is half that of the GT's and well below the ReadOut's 7.8ms. CPU utilisation for the three units was just about equal, all being within the test's margin of error. It was the Corsair, however, that pulled ahead in average reads, scoring 29.8Mbps to the Contour's 25.5Mbps.
(The ReadOut trailed by a hair at 25.3Mbps.) The conclusion, of course, is that while the Contour may now be the fastest SanDisk Cruzer Contour drive, it's simply competitive within the superset of the rest of the world.
SanDisk also claims that the Cruzer Contour is a capable Vista ReadyBoost Drive, but we've heard that song before -most notably with Corsair's Voyager GT. The GT's track record of cooperation with Vista was hit or miss. Sometimes it was recognised on boot-up, sometimes not, and Vista seemed happy to forget about it whenever it could.
In stark contrast, the SanDisk Cruzer Contour is a wonderfully simple "plug-in and be recognised" operation with its definition as a ReadyBoost drive through its properties folders. It's no more than a simple matter of checking the options and clicking ok. It's difficult to tell whether either drive actually made much of a difference in Vista, but the SanDisk Cruzer Contour's easier installation will make you want to believe that it does. With a random access time that's half of the Voyager GT's, it should.
Not everything is easy about the SanDisk Cruzer Contour and Vista, however. SanDisk has added its usual cadre of software to the drive: including U3 technology (so you can carry your files and application software on a secure USB drive), Skype, CruzerSync (you can have your wallpaper, preferences, favorites, profiles, and more available on the go), Avast (anti-virus), SignupShield (for password management) and HP Photosmart (for image management).
U3 applications are specially written to be portable. We found them to be hit or miss under Vista. OpenOffice wouldn't run, but Weatherbug had no problem. Both ran well under XP off the drive. (Vista's security also adds extra steps when attempting to install U3 software and you should also suspect expect? that CruzerSync might hiccup a bit if you're trying to overlay your Vista desktop appliqués on XP or vice versa.)
When you connect the SanDisk Cruzer Contour you end up with one SanDisk desktop icon for the U3 and the supplied software and two icons in My Computer -one duplicating the desktop application and the other for the drive itself. Ejecting the drive differs between Vista and XP. It's a one-click process under XP using the standard USB device eject tool in the taskbar. Under Vista, we needed to first close the desktop icon and then eject the drive.
SanDisk Cruzer Contour: Specs
- Lifetime limited warranty
- includes U3 PC programs
- hi-speed USB 2.0
- free software
- Vista compatible
- ReadyBoost compatible
- Lifetime limited warranty
- includes U3 PC programs
- hi-speed USB 2.0

- ReadyBoost compatible
SanDisk's 4GB Cruzer Contour is listed as low as £42 on PriceGrabber and that makes it a fairly good deal, even a bit more competitive than Corsair's similarly sized Flash Voyager GT. The Contour is easily the better deal for Vista, based on our experience, and while most of its performance stats are similar to the GT, it's that extra versatility that makes us lean in its direction.

Humans already enhance themselves. We wear contacts. Some take Viagra.
And almost all of us go even further than this by getting vaccinated, which scrambles the DNA in some of our immune cells. So to some extent we've already undergone genetic enhancement.
The question I ask today is, where do you draw the line on biological enhancement?
This was the question put to Neal Lane and Dr. Francis Collins, two prominent scientists and policy experts who met earlier this week in Houston (see previous entry). Collins addressed it most directly, saying:
People embrace enhancement to treat diseases. But when it comes to generally enhancing humans by biological means, it's difficult to draw a bright line. Let's say we come up with a way to treat morbid obesity by gene manipulation. Would it be acceptable for people who want to be slim, or really slim like a model, to use this treatment?
And what should we do when this issue comes to the prenatal area? I think this is where the real difficult boundaries are.
In vitro fertilization is entirely unregulated in the United States. Lots of IVF clinics will do a pre-implantation genetic analysis, and this is used now for sex selection. Tests have now been developed for Tay-Sachs and other disorders. So what about adult-onset diseases? In the United Kingdom it's already been approved to test for BRCA1 genes.
Picking embryos is a form of genetic enhancement. That has all sorts of queasy implications. It seems to me that we are beginning to devalue diversity and people who are differentially abled. It's sort of like taking your child back to the store and asking for another one.
Should we allow for the selection of embryos? If so, for sex? For pediatric diseases? For adult-onset diseases? For propensity to obesity? For intellect? It's not easy to draw the line, especially as we link more genes to human traits.
We're likely to confront these ethical issues within the next five years. As my colleague Todd Ackerman recently wrote, Baylor College of Medicine now offers an advanced test for more than 200 genetic syndromes. The time to discussion these issues is now.
And the notion of genetic selection pales in comparison to the bioethical questions we will face once it becomes possible to genetically enhance embryos in meaningful ways.

December 18, 2011, 06:10 PM
During this season's deer hunt, I had to use the "Nike Defense" (feet, don't fail me now) when, along with my daughter-in-law, we encountered a band of "undocumented aliens" in a canyon some 50 plus mile from the border. I knew what we had for fire-power but I didn't know what they had or how many they had. In conversations over the past 2 weeks I found two other friends that had had similar situations. I had not told them of my experience, but was simply talking about this season's hunts. All three encounters were duly reported, but the jest of it was that collectively we had seen more dope than deer. Three seprate hunts, three seperate areas covering 60 plus miles, over a period of 2 months. Homeland Defense says the border has never been more secure. I can say that after more than 50 years on the border, while we have never had as much enforcement, I have never felt more insecure. My question to my fellow hunters, who have hunted the border regions, is "is this just happening in my little corner" or is it as wide spread as I believe it may be.

Northside Christian's Joseph Trahan named 5-C All-District MVP
CROWLEY – The 2012 prep baseball season was a struggle to say the least for the Northside Christian Warriors.
With a starting lineup that consisted of two eighth graders, three sophomores, one junior and three seniors, the Warriors had to compete against one of the toughest Class C districts in the state. That district included teams like No. 4 Elizabeth, No. 9 Assembly Christian, No. 14 Plainview and No. 15 St. Joseph's.
But Northside's youth prevailed as the Warriors went 6-2 in league play to claim second place and earn the No. 6 seed in the Class C playoffs.
Both of the Warriors' league losses were against Elizabeth (5-4 at home and 5-2 on the road), who bowed out in the semifinals to eventual state champion Family Christian.
For their efforts, Northside was granted four spots on the 5-C All-District team that was recently announced by the league's coaches.
Northside utility player Joseph Trahan nailed down one of the squad's top two honors by being named the league's Outstanding Player. The sophomore pitcher/shortstop finished with a district-leading batting average of .619 while also going 2-2 on the mound with a 2.55 earned run average.
At the plate, Trahan had four doubles, two triples, two home runs and 10 RBI in the Warriors' eight league games.
On the mound, he struck out 34 in 23 innings pitched.
Elizabeth's Ron Morgan earned the other top honor by being named the league's Coach of the Year.
Joining Trahan on the first unit are teammates Nick Zaunbrecher, Jordan Monte and Josh Wheeler.
Zaunbrecher, a sophomore catcher, had the second-highest average during league play at .609. He also had two doubles and drove in seven runs.
Monte, also a sophomore, made the team at shortstop after hitting .357 for the Warriors with one double and seven RBI. He also compiled a record of 3-0 on the mound with an ERA of 2.70.
Wheeler was one of three pitchers selected to the team after going 1-0 in league play with an ERA of 1.75. He struck out 13 in 10 innings of work and also hit .522 with three doubles, one triple, one home run and seven RBI.
Elizabeth landed six spots on the first team. Jordan Sutterfield made the unit at first base and Christian Perkins made it at third base.
Kolby Friday grabbed one of the three outfield slots along with ACS' Tyler Hidalgo and Isaac Lavergne.
Elizabeth's Colby LaFauci and Kelby Friday made the list as utility players while Garrett Doucet got on as a pitcher.
Jesse DeRouen of ACS is the first baseman, Aubry Chendert of St. Joseph 's and Josh Ash of Plainview made it as utility players and Zack Provost of ACS nailed down the final spot at pitcher.
Northside had four members selected to the second team and two players made the honorable mention list.
NCS seniors Ben Morgan and Nick Gotte made the second unit as did eighth graders Jon-Riley Mouton and Christian Morgan. Junior Shea Bertrand and freshman Nick Martin were tabbed as honorable mentions.

Featured Golf News
Course Design Bids for Rio Olympics Extended
Due to problems with proper legal and financial documentation, the organizers of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro have extended the deadline for architects and architectural firms to submit bids on the new golf course for the Games. The committee originally requested that interested companies or individual architects send in applications by October 28.
Despite the delay, organizers say they still hope to meet the deadline of announcing the winning bid on December 23 of this year. They said Wednesday that they are contacting candidates to request new documentation.
The process for interested bidders is onerous. The winning bidder must have an office legally established in Rio and will be paid $300,000 for the design of the course, which will be built in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood, the site of many Olympic venues. The nominal fee and Rio office requirement have proven - to some potential bidders - as stumbling blocks.
The number and names of the bidders were noy identified when the extension was announced.
Golf is returning to the Olympics for the first time since the St. Louis Games in 1904. The sport was reinstated by an International Olympic Committee vote in 2009 after concerted lobbying from members of the golf industry. It's also guaranteed to be played in the 2020 Games; that site has not been determined.

- born
February 28, 1921
- died
January 3, 2014
Saul Zaentz, (born Feb. 28, 1921, Passaic, N.J.—died Jan. 3, 2014, San Francisco, Calif.) American music and film producer who parlayed the wealth he gained as a record producer into a new career as a maker of boutique motion pictures; he produced just nine films, most based on complex literary works, of which three (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest [1975], Amadeus [1984], and The English Patient [1996]) won Academy Awards for best picture. As a young man Zaentz lacked direction, but in 1950 he began a career in the music business, working with a record distributor and with noted jazz producer Norman Granz, and in 1955 he took a position with the jazz record label Fantasy Records. Backed by investors, Zaentz took over Fantasy Records in 1967, and the label scored a huge success when it signed the roots-rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. John Fogerty, the band's driving force, came to resent the restrictions of the label and left in acrimony that continued for years. One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (produced with Michael Douglas) was Zaentz's first foray into film; it won five Academy Awards and the BAFTA prize for best picture. Other movies included The Mosquito Coast (1986) and The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988). Zaentz won the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award (1997) for the high quality of his work as a motion-picture producer.

What materials did you use? trio planters which I bought from a discount store,empty cider barrels, metal posts
What are you most proud of? It was my first attempt to do this kind of project and I am so proud of the outcome. I've got lots of lovely and flattering comments from my friends and family when I posted the pictures in face book.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? To save money on plants,it's better to plant them from seeds,that way you can see them grow from seedlings till they're blooming with beautiful flowers. They don't just admired by my friends and family,they attract lots of wildlife too like bees,butterflies and lady birds.
My back garden is about 30 feet long and only 12 feet wide. Very limited space for planting but I've found a way by going upwards. I improvised by planting them in trio planters which my husband drilled holes in the middle of the planters. The metal rod were then placed in the middle of the empty cider barrel,filled it up with rocks,stones gravel and soil until it is stable and securely in place. We then inserted the trio planter with plants in and then another one on top which is securely slotted in to the trio planter below.

I am curious if you have to enter any of it or put claim to owning it on your income tax forms?
if you have over $1000 of MLP income..whether its in an IRA or not..youll be responsible for taxes.....
Blake, you are just absolutely, 100%, positively, and completely wrong. Where on earth did you come up with this idea. Sure hope you don't do your taxes yourself; or maybe you should to relieve the nations debt a little.
I hold it in my Ira. Report it on the K12. Usually not available till March from the company website. (That is the downside) no way around it.
EEQ is the only other MLP I know of that is equivalent to KMR. For some reason EEQ is selling at a premium to EEP whereas KMR is selling at a discount to KMP.Jim
Agreed. Why other MLPs don't have a KMR type option is curious.
KMR has allowed us to participate in MLP's without current tax consequences in our otherwise taxable accounts. The fact that they pay quarterly distributions in stock allows for tax free status and it allows reinvestment which is what we do in both IRA's and taxable accounts.
I don't think you do...unless you sell it.
Why would you do anything if you sold it in an IRA?

Dear Gurus,
Is it possible to see the stock list of materials vendor wise
how much qty received from particularvendor
how much order to vendor
pending qty
how can i get this report
You can use T code MBLB or ME2O both shows vendor stock
When you receive the material it will become a plant stock. Why you want to see stock with respect to Vendor?
And as per your requirement this is a development in SAP, their is no standard reports are available.
Use ME2L , ME2M
Incase you need to check the consignment (vendor) stock, you can get the same from T-code MB52 and select the Special stock indicator 'K' for viewing the vendor stock. For viewing your own stock received from a particular vendor, you can get the same by T-code MB51, mention the vendor number and the movement type 101 (GR goods receipt) i.e. all goods receipt against purchase order.
S. Kumar
Hi dear
1)You can get the details from ME2L,ME2M,ME2M.
Better to use ME2N as PO number will be the input field and Under Order Quantity column you will get Order quantity, under Still to be delivered quantity will give you quantity to be delivered.
2) With the help of your ABAP er you can also create z report by making use of tables EKPO ans EKBE

When implementing and successfully sustaining a mobile learning initiative, it is imperative not to allow the device to drive instruction. Lessons, curriculum, schools and districts should never be built around technology. Everything we do in education should be built around learning. Thus, if the ultimate goal is to improve student outcomes then the role of any mobile device initiative should be to support or enhance learning.

Video leaks out of an Apple iPhone 5 booting up to iOS 6
0. phoneArena 05 Sep 2012, 12:02 posted on
Today might be the big day for Nokia's new Windows Phone 8 Lumias, but it doesn't stop Apple gadgetry to leak out at an alarming rate for the once most secretive company…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

If that is true, the design of the "new" iPhone or iPhone 5 is very busted. I am sorry but the 3 plus year old design is very much over played now.
4. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
If the caption on this video article said "iphone 4 booting up to is 6" you'd have pretty much believed it was. Should anyone really expect anymore from apple given their previous history
13. monkeytown (Posts: 125; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
well, after checking other companies designs....i have to disagree
33. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
What are you talking about? Look at the new Nokia's, they are brilliant. The HTC's always look different yet sexy, & even Samsung's Galaxy S III is a sharp looking phone. What about Sony's Xperia line? Those are wonderfully designed phones.
Apple's 3+ year old design is getting OLD very quickly. "Iconic" design belongs to cars like BMW, Ferrari & Rolls Royce. Or to old art deco designs from the 30's, that is "iconic" not a 3 year old mobile phone design.
The iPhone 4 design was nice in 2009 but in 2012 is just yesterdays rehash.

That's not the point of view from an iPhone user. For years they've been wanting a larger screen and now they are getting it. The rest is irrelevant from that point on.
For those of us using Windows or Android phones, we've been using phones on a different level than the iPhone. We expect more because we've been given more historically. If you've lived in the iOS ecosystem, a 4" screen and finally 4G radios is huge. You have to look at it from that perspective, otherwise it's just another phone with dated features.
I don't agree with settling for less like they do, but that's my opinion, which many iOS users don't share. For me, I want it all or as much as the technology can handle. And I don't use iOS.
29. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
It's also about choosing the OS you enjoy the most. Android can have 4G radios, NFC and this and that, but at the end of the day, I don't want an Android device as my primary one. It makes it really easy to wait for the next iPhone.
As for the design, its solid but not groundbreaking. The iPhone 4/4S is still one of the better designed smartphones, so I wouldn't mind having it, but lets just keep on hoping that this isn't it, lol
51. cfprelude (Posts: 137; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
or for some of us its what our employer will support and/or pay for. we have iPhones only now and i am a huge android fan.... killed me going from the S3 to the 4S a couple months ago when i started the job BUT now with LTE and a slightly larger (still 4.3 is the sweet spot i think but 4" isn't all bad) it will be 100% more tolerable. we have about 10k employees and probably approx 5k iPhone 4/4S on vzw, att, and sprint and from water cooler talk we'll have about 3/4 of those upgrade within the next couple months since there catching up to where droid was 2yrs ago.... not because people are excited in the least about a new and innovative iPhone..... I'm sure there are many other employers in the same boat.

after looking and reading about the lumia 920 and 820 we're back to the iphone rumors.........
hopefully,wp8 users will join us(ios and android users) very soon

I love the troll that goes around and thumbs down all the negative Iphone post. What a scared little girl to actually post.
And yes this is very outdated. And IphoneARENA is about to be to. Keeps posting about its beloved iphone.
20. quickweevil (Posts: 51; Member since: 21 Dec 2011)
Here's what I don't understand. Why is it that every website I read (except for the sites dedicated to only Android) have people in comments complaining about an iPhone bias? It is literally EVERY website I read (gizmodo, phonearena, bgr, the verge, etc.). Can you tell me why? Is it because Android fans are just obnoxious? I think so...

There are a few more pro-iPhone commentors there. The anti-iPhone commentors are just so much more loud and obnoxious...

7. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Does anyone know why is Apple an object of hatred? I know. Because it was an object of worship. You can't be mad on company no matter what they do. You can just be mad at someone who you are in love with. Unhappily in love. Because iPhone doesn't like you. He likes ordinary people, and you are not ordinary. You are nerd. You are nerd who thinks large screen is "progress", but it's something else, isn't it?
12. Aeires (unregistered)
-1 just for propping Apple up as a god to be worshiped.
17. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
You know it is. You watch that fact every day. Firstly in emotionality of Apple haters, then in iFanboys.
24. Aeires (unregistered)
Cult of Apple. No thanks.
26. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I'm not asking you to join it, just to accept that it exists. The sooner we know it, the sooner will we know on what we are mad about. Hint: it's not design, specs, screen size or suing other manufacturers.
40. Aeires (unregistered)
If you left out suing other manufacturers, I'd have agreed. Apple impacting our choices is something to not be happy about, can't argue that away.
I'll only speak for myself, I started disliking Apple because the people that bought their phones had a common tendency to look down their noses at those of us who chose Android. That moved on to disliking them because the lawsuits showed their hypocrisy, Apple has a huge history of copying other people's work.
If you want to worship Apple, it's your choice.
43. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Why would I want to worship Apple?
You know what I think? I think that true religion of Apple is not where iFanboys feel special about themselves as more valuable humans. I think it's among ordinary people that somehow just "know" that they should by Apple products. It's the engineering of need that emerges from social, culturological and technological way of life. The way of life is the whole netvwork and infrastructure that is actually under one divine sign - iCon. Icon is the image of God. Image of iPhone is everywhere. It's a GENERIC image of aesthetisation of our lives. So, there's actual religion. Even among those who hate Apple. They hate it because they are integrated in the system, because the system depends on referencing to Apple. Success of Android dependes on referencing to Apple. And Apple depends on no one but itself. It's self-centered, self-referenced phenomenon that is readable as divinity in subconcious levels.
I'm aware that most people don't have level of education and understanding the true mechanism behind Apple, I don't blame them. But they still react. They feel the magnitude. And they react religiously. By hating Apple. Because definition of religion is placed on lack of knowledge on something. If you know, you don't believe. You just know. You can believe only if you don't know.

30. binerry (Posts: 99; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Yeah, because millions upon millions of people "worship". That's a pretty big cult. If it weren't a good phone, that many people wouldn't own it.
41. metalpoet (unregistered)
Fact: Apple sues everyone that they feel is "stealing" their ideas.
Speculation: iPhone is super innovative and user friendly.
Fact: 75% of Women in the U.S. that own any cellphone, owns an iPhone.
Specualtion: They want to only own an iPhone because of the millions and millions of pink fuzzy sparkly cases and dont give a s*** about the performance of the phone and also because women tend to be incredibly caddy and clique-like and if you dont own an iPhone....your wierd.
Fact: Give me a minimum of 4.5 inch display, dualcore, 4G LTE, 8mp rear camera, 1.3mp front camera, 2200 battery, and I am a happy camper as long as it has a windows or android system.
All in all I sell iPhones, windows, blackberry's, and android phones on at&t, sprint, and verizon on a daily basis and Apple makes a decent product but they do not allow any form of customization. As long as Apple stops sueing everyone and truly just competes for better products then Im fine.
34. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
you have a very unusual but interesting point of view... i read every comment you post and for the most part they are very consistent with your conspiracy theory.
i believe you are absolutely correct with your research and findings about how apple is viewed among fans/haters all the way down to legal and political views...
37. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Thank you for support.
I must however state that "conspiracy" is only ironic phrase that I use, because I think situation is even more catastrophic - there is no conspiracy. It is an authentic formation of religious realms from cult following of products that operate on subconcious levels of object worshiping as a medium for self-actualisation and social identification in general. It all comes down to the question of power in various forms - in form of Apple products in our case. That's why we see the development of religious formation "on the other side", as an opposition, in discourse of Android and Samsung etc, which are the other religion formed as an antagonism to religion of Apple.
The part which is quite disturbing is that Apple has showed that technological companies have the ability to form this kind of social dynamics for which we hoped we outgrown and eliminated. It tells us that scientific paradigm was just a meta-narrative (a fairy tale if you wish) and that humans still function as primarily shallow religious beings. I wish it is only a conspiracy, but it's not.

14. fistigons (Posts: 330; Member since: 11 Feb 2012)
What is the point of putting the headphone jack on the bottom of the phone? I hate when companies do that. Maybe the top is where the NFC chip will be.
19. Vinayakn73 (Posts: 191; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
dude the headphone jack is kind of a$$ of phone. so its always stays at bottom. a$$ es are not to put on head (Top)
23. quickweevil (Posts: 51; Member since: 21 Dec 2011)
I love it! My Galaxy Nexus had it on the bottom. For me, when I put the phone in my front pocket, it's natural to put the phone in upside-down. That way, when I pull it out, it's already rightside-up. My iPhone 4S is a pain when it comes to that.
28. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
I thought the same thing when my Galaxy Nexus came with the jack on the bottom. After roughly 60 seconds of actually using the phone while listening to music it all made perfect sense.
I hope every phone I buy from now on has it on the bottom and as silly as it sounds it's actually a selling point for me. It's just clunky having the wire draped over the top when you're actually using the phone.
42. Aeires (unregistered)
Works fine until I slide the phone in my car dock, then the earphone on the bottom becomes an aggravation. Loved the location on my S2, not so fond of it on my GNex.
15. iDroidx650 (Posts: 78; Member since: 26 May 2010)
It's an iPhone. What makes you think Apple will go and make it look like a completely different phone running a revamped OS. That is not how Apple runs their business. The iPhone will always still in line with the same design que.
25. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
That's right.
French philosopher Jean F. Lyotard has written in the seventies about current state of knowledge in the world, ad described it as a state in which "science and progress" are the ideological and religious pamphlets. Progress must be made for the progress' sake, even if we don't need it.
If Apple iPhone works for most people, then progress in terms of changing design just to be changed because we expect it under this "progress regime" is nothing more than ideological terrorism inside the system itself.
We are now looking for ways to hate iPhone for something. And so we decided we hate it because it didn't change design (and nobody asks why should great design be changed at all) or some technical aspect.
Of course, we see that precisely in this we find religion far more dangerous than Apple religion itself. It's something in which we are fundamentally religious - in hate for iPhone. And we secretly know that it isn't actually because it hasn't changed design or have killer specs. We know this is our faith, materialized thru hatred just as Christian hates Muslim, or vice versa...
18. tech_lover (Posts: 26; Member since: 02 Jun 2012)
this can't be the real deal IMO..see the bottom of the phone is not symmetrical as it was in 4s...this probably is a chinese knockoff...waitin for 12th sep.....
22. KiddUriel (Posts: 5; Member since: 16 Jul 2012)
Is it just more or does anyone else think that the phone is a fake? At 0:30 notice the design flaw on the upper-right hand corner of the screen. Also, compare the home button seen on the original iPhone to the supposed iPhone 5. It isnt "Apple Like" quality. But all of this is just a thought. I could be wrong.
35. kcombs (Posts: 275; Member since: 15 Dec 2010)
I'm glad I went Android. If that is the new iPhone, I would not have purchased one. I'm happy with my Note, and will be happy with my Note2 when it comes out.

49. Peter27 (Posts: 233; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
I like how iFans are contradicting them selves. On one side they say the great design does not need change. On other they say this is fake,bla bla, apple will reveal the new design during conference and blow us away.
iFans please make up your mind.

He's diminutive, he doesn't say much and his dress-sense marks him as a metrosexual, but Link certainly has his fans. If anyone at E3 had cause to doubt the little chap's popularity, a quick visit to Nintendo's booth would have quickly set the record straight. Spirit Tracks was easily one of the most popular games on the show floor - every time I passed through the area there was a queue of at least twenty people, patiently awaiting their precious ten minutes with the game.
The worst part of this wait was that when you got to the front of the queue, you had to pick from one of three different sections: a dungeon, a boss battle and a bit where you mess about with a heavily armed train. Imagine waiting for over half an hour and then being faced with this choice. You've only got enough time to play one section before the DS resets itself - so which bit do you pick?. There's no time to dawdle, and at your back your can feel the searing heat from 20 pairs of jealous, impatient eyes.
Happily, lucky hacks like us have means and ways of getting what we want - most of them wholly reliant upon kind invites from Nintendo. I've now had a chance to play all three of the modes, and while I'm still a little uncertain about why link has decided to abandon his usual mounts in favour of a magical steam engine, I have to say that this is already looking like a classic Zelda outing.
Since it seems like such a large departure from the norm, I actually chose the train-focused demo as my jumping-in point for Spirit Tracks. In a nutshell, it seems that Link now uses his choo-choo to travel around the world map. The upper DS screen is used as a map - a surprisingly important feature, as we'll discuss in a moment - while the lower one gives you an above-and behind view of your train, a perspective that can be changed by touching the far edges of the touch-screen. Your speed is controlled by using the stylus to drag a lever up and down, while a handy little pull-chain allows you to blow your whistle. I didn't find many major uses for this last feature other than using it for scaring animals off the tracks, but it's certainly a lot of fun. "Look Mum!" you shout in pre-pubescent excitement. "I'm a train driver! POOP POOP!" In any case, I suspect that the full game will give the whistle some greater purpose.
Due to the confined nature of locomotive transport, your movement options are relatively limited. You can move forward at one of two speeds, stop or reverse. When you approach a junction you've got a brief period of time in which you can choose your direction, but that's about it for navigation options. As a result, much of the train-bound action in Spirit Tracks seems to revolve around combat. Link has a cannon at the back of his chuffer (sorry, I'm running low on alternatives for "train"), and much of my demo-time was spent blasting at wild pigs and at goblin nasties riding monster mounts. Firing the cannon is simply a matter of tapping on the villain you want to target, but since many of your enemies are more mobile than you it's important to keep them in view by shifting the camera about. And naturally enough, you'll also have to keep an eye on your speed.
As a further complication, it seems that you're not the only vehicle on the tracks. If the E3 demo level is anything to go by, you'll also have to deal with three evil trains that destroy Link if they manage to catch up with him. Direct cannon hits will slow them down a bit, but ultimately your only real solution is to reach a junction and to hope that they go the other way. Even if you do manage to throw one of these guys off the scent, it's quite possible that there'll be another murderous engine further up the line. It seems that you're pretty much doomed if you get trapped between two death-choos (sorry, out of options again) so the top screen's map becomes your new best friend, helping you to sneak past the enemy at an opportune moment.

Pantyraid | Superior EPApril 26th by John-Michael Tags: Drumstep, MartyParty, Of Porclain, Ooah, Pantyraid, Skukuza, Superior, The Glitch Mob, The Sauce
I'll never forget the first time I heard PantyRaid, it was the mix for The Sauce. I even remember the post and saying The Sauce would be the best album of of the year. I still stand by those words and the dynamic duo of MartyParty & Ooah despite this follow up EP and uproar it has started.
What's the cause of all this uproar? Easy. The new Superior EP is filled with heavy aggressive drumstep vibes. The fans of the duo are disappointed and I even have seen many people even calling them sell outs to the brostep movement. Marty and Ooah have gained the respects of many of the west coast crunk bass movement and lets just say most of them won't stand for this change of direction. The Sauce was a major point of the crunk sound development.
It's not that ohh no another brostep/drumstep EP its more about what people have come to expect from both of them. We all know how talented and musical they both can be. Hell go listen to Marty's Skukuza EP or Ooah's Of Porclain project. The production value of those versus this is quite astounding. Now lets not burn these guys at the stake they have the right to change direction and have fun. They aren't sell outs because as the powerhouse Skrillex has said numerous times.
My biggest concern is how they are handling this as if to pull a big move to almost disregard and hide all the negative responses. Marty posted this on FB and I replied. It of course got deleted but WHY?! I'm here to support but also speak my mind.
"You gotta love the hate on Facebook – WOW! Full time job deleting evil postings – to all those people that hate on art – LOVE and HATE are the same emotion – check yourselves and open your minds – I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!"
My response:
"I'll be honest I'm not a fan of the new material but it's definitely something interesting to listen to coming from two extremely talented producers. I wouldn't call Love & Hate the same emotion. I personally think this album if anything shows the dark side of ones emotions where it has heavy aggressive angry monotones all over it but don't we all have that inside at one point of time. Have fun but realize the new sound pushes a completely different emotion than The Sauce so what did you expect? Keep making that music and enjoying yourself. Do it for you and no one else but remember the art of music is conveying you and emotions. You guys do it well. Big ups!"
Now checking Twitter I see this.
Marty: "#3 on iTunes – THANKYOU – when we made these songs in the Brooklyn studio we knew they would stir up some emotion out there"
If you knew this was going to happen stop trying to delete and erase all the people speaking their mind and giving their opinion. Hateful messages yeah sure get rid of them but something tells me all of them aren't hateful or evil. Everyone has their own personal opinion and doesn't mean everyone thinks they have to follow or feel the same way. Hell if it has hit #3 on iTunes already you got a positive response but don't be surprised if on social media mediums your fans who have been following you and actually pay attention to you won't react in a positive light and be ignored.
Personally I think this is a huge push for people discovering The Sauce if they haven't already. Look what The Glitch Mob did and it was in the complete opposite direction. They followed up all their free bootlegs with a straight downtempo chill LP versus a heavy crunk glitch release everyone expected. There were people who hated it and talked trash but want to talk about the press monster that came out of it. The same is about to happen with this release from Pantyraid.
I might not be a producer and making beats all the time but I know that music is a powerful medium of expression. There is music to rock out and party with and then there's the listening to music. That's how I mainly divide a lot of my music lately. This Superior EP is jump up and rage at a club and they execute it well. There is no doubt in my mind that heavy energy is the name of the game right now. Just remember to keep the diversity. Pantyraid shows us that you can get all sexy and crunk but also get all that pent up energy and push out some fun jump up dance floor stuff.
Love it or hate it check out the Superior EP @ PantyRaid Music
