Matias Duarte explains Tablet UI in Jelly Bean and why Nexus devices have no SD card
At some point, we all wonder how Google makes the decisions they do. Especially regarding Android. While most of their efforts are widely liked by nearly everyone, there are some things we wish they'd explain in greater detail. Things like how they came up with the Tablet UI. Okay, what we really want to know is why no SD card love in the Nexus devices. Matias Duarte sat down to help explain things.
His explanation about Tablet UI is truly fascinating. Duarte explains that the Tablet UI in Jelly Bean was the result of market research done to see how people use devices. It was concluded that pretty much everyone uses their phone in portrait mode most of the time.
With tablets, though, it was found that people hold tablets in all sorts of ways. Upside down, right side up, and any other orientation. So the tablet UI design in Jelly Bean was done to help accommodate people who hold their tablets any which way.
Duarte goes on to explain that with the tablet UI, the three navigation buttons we've all come to know are always where you need them. It doesn't matter which way you hold it. That helps bring uniformity to the platform and users don't need to learn how to use their tablet a new way just because they're holding it differently.
Cool stuff, so why no MicroSD cards in Nexus devices?
Not a lot of people are going to be happy with that answer. As Duarte explains, "We take a different approach. Your Nexus has a fixed amount of space and your apps just seamlessly use it for you without you ever having to worry about files or volumes or any of that techy nonsense left over from the paleolithic era of computing."
Thus, Nexus devices don't have MicroSD card slots. They are simply too old of a technology and apparently they confuse people. Many people probably wouldn't mind this if there were better storage options.
While the Galaxy Nexus had 32GB of storage, the LG Nexus 4 has been reported as only having 8GB and 16GB offerings. It's disappointing that Google believes everyone would be happy with only 8GB or 16GB of space with no room for expansion. Many people use much more than 16GB of space.
If you'd like to read a transcript of the answers Matias Duarte gave, you can find them over at Droid-Life. Is anyone satisfied with Matias Duarte's answers? Or are they rather disappointing? Let us know your thoughts.
I'm actually okay with 16GB of storage with no room for expansion of a phone. That leaves enough space or apps, photos and a playlist of music, as I use an iPod Classic most of the time, but I'm shocked that that's the reason they don't put a microSD slot in.. because people find it too complicated? Sheesh!

E.g. Takes a photo, gets sent to the SD card. Saves an image, gets sent to the flash storage. And how do they show up? In their respective folders in the Gallery app where it doesn't state where they are saved in.
photos are stored in the DCIM folder on the SD card whereas all downloads are stored in the internal storage under the Downloads folder.
It's understandable to a degree that people could see it as confusing (I sometimes don't remember where Zedge hides the Wallpapers folder), but it's not exactly rocket science, either.
- raindog469
Of course, the availability of all these different cloud options changes the situation from "is it on the internal flash or the SD card?" to "is it on G+, Google Drive, Picasa, Facebook, Flickr or Dropbox?"
Let's get real. The reason they stopped including SD card slots is not to alleviate confusion. It's purely to drive users to their comparatively slow but revenue-generating cloud services.
As for why they removed App2SD, for that I have no explanation. Having bought and downloaded an almost 4GB game on my tablet, I bought a 32GB SD card last week so I could move it. I was very confused and then extremely irritated to find out it's only good for media consumption under ICS. I think it's time for a new ROM. But someone who's less technical wouldn't bother with a new ROM, they'd just stop buying apps.
- William
I'd like to know who these people are, that actually believes that sd cards are complicated! I believe that's a bogus statement. Currently SD cards are the most common memory cards out in the electronics world.
As raindog469 said it might be something to do with their cloud storage too. It's a way for them to make money, so maybe their reasoning was just a way to cover up their real reason of "we can make more money if you don't use an SD card and use our cloud storage instead." But who knows?
- DAngelo8
We"ll see if the no SD card will be the kiss of death that it has been for other devices. Duarte's explanation is frankly, a bit patronizing. Almost all of us have been using devices for years with smart cards without problems. So why now are they so problematic. Furthermore, no removable battery, and no LTE, I see these new Nexus devices only as a niche device for select Android purists.
- Tets
Well then you lose me as a customer. That is the easily the lamest answer I have ever heard. I don't want to give up on android, but idiots like that have no tech sense whatsoever. He dodges the fact that he does not want you to load "your" content. These things can now play HD video and store tons of music if you choose to do so. I will now have to look at windows 8 tablets which I did not want to do.
- Peterson Silva
What if I told you the nexus tablets aren't the only options with android?
I know, I know, calm down… It's hard to understand, I know… Shh, there there…
Because the HTC One X is doing so great with its lack of access to replace the battery or add additional storage. Way to take a step backwards Google! *DOH*
- Abir
this guy is a nut on the external storage front, according to him its old tech and the human brain isint able to process simple stuff and they get confused with 2 types of memory, only he is fit to think on behalf of humans. So where do u store those videos and movies that i could watch on that HD screen thats on your phone? where do i store the video and pics i could shoot with that 8mp HD cam? or even games which come in Gb's these days? i should store em up your ass you dumb fuck? oh yeah on the cloud? my country has uber high 3g prices and the net experience is shitt all over so i am screwed thanks to you? confusing for users my ass just a play to suck out 50$ for 4$ worth of flash
- KingKilla
not only that you have burn date when you upload from your pc and when you streaming from your phone. uploading speed are still pretty slow
- jay
they do this so you use Google Drive.
What crapppppppppp….if its so confusing and outdated to have a micro-sd card slot…then put it in 32 and 64 gig byte version…dumb *****
agree why not bump up the memory to 128 GB just to remove any need whatsoever for the OLD TECHNOLOGY!
- ray01000101010101
Would been better if they released a 399 32GB version
Even if the 32GB version of the Nexus 10 was $449….I just find it very hard to justify a whole $100 price difference for $8 of storage. Even a $50 difference would be easier to swallow.
- olbp
Mr. Duarte:
YOU are the software designer. If the SD interface is so confusing, it is YOUR FAULT! Design around the problem and make it simple enough even for you. Then, the rest of us, who don't seem to have a problem with it, will be able to rest easily when you are working.
By the way, my son, who is just now 6, doesn't seem to have any problem with the SD interface, as it is. However, I must say, he didn't understand it at first. I had to spend about 5 – 6 minutes showing it to him before he got it.
- companyemails
Here is a beter storage option, give me an option for 32gb of on board storage. I get it that google wants people to use more of their cloud services, but lets face it, with todays limited plans and expensive data caps, how exactly are people supposed to take full advantage of those services? Also, what happens when you are not in an area with good connectivity?
- Prasan Chari
are you kidding, No SD and SD a old technology, is't phone a 100 year old technology and cell phone 15 – 20 year technology, why use it then.,
- szy
I think there is a different explanation for leaving out SD cards from Nexus devices:
Microsoft holds patents for the FAT filesystem (including derivatives). So far nearly every Android maker had been forced to sign a licensing agreement with Microsoft which would guarantee a couple of dollars of royalty after each device sold.
If a device has only internal memory, it can use any of the native filesystems of Linux free of charges. However, if the device has an SD card slot, it cannot avoid having to handle the FAT filesystem.
So, by this move Google is just about to get rid of Microsoft, I suspect.
- Prasan Chari
Do you have a clue how much games take space on the phone, I have 4 games on the phone and it has already fill up 6 GB. SD card is not old technology, secondly Phone is a 100 year old technology and cell phone as such are 15 – 20 + year old technology, why produce cell phones or phones ? even internet is 30 year technology,
- Nacos
I would ask Matias what is "paleolithic" in wanting to have a second storage, not necessarily for increased capacity but rather for the piece of mind in keeping sensible information safe from accidental losses? What is "paleolithic" in trying to be independent from cloud storage for either the situation when online connectivity is not available or not desired? What is "paleolithic" in having the ability to simply exchange information by simply removing the SD card and inserting it wherever you wanted – of course in addition to all the other plethora of file sharing ways – which are ALL much more resource demanding than simply swapping the SD card? And finally what is "paleolithic" in having the ability to use the external SD card as UMS in order to transfer/synchronize large files – like Titanium or Nandroid Backups?
This is nothing but calculated misinformation targeting less informed users and intended to turn people away from the convenience of using removable SD cards in the exclusive favor of cloud storage – seen by all large corporation as a form of residual income, otherwise a trap, a subversive way towards unnecessarily pushing people to use more and more data – not to mention the permanent loss of privacy. Whoever imagines that private information on the cloud stays private is either kidding themselves or they didn't yet celebrated their 5th birthday. Why do you think the cloud storage expanded in an explosion of "free" offerings from every major player? Think and act properly!!
- William
Amen, and you said it quite well. :)
- Tatsuya
And you forgot the low cost of high density micro-sd card nowadays vs the cost of a Cloud subscription.
Personally I have 13GB of Music on my external SD of which perhaps 1 or 2 albums are in the music store. I wouldn't want to stream it anyway.
- KingKilla
streaming would drain battery as well, so if we had sd card we can use it like mp3 play without streaming. no idea wth he talking about. its all about moving us to cloud
- saurabhaj
Hats off,
Android hate for microSD should not be reflected in next 5.0 android
Key lime pie otherwise people will throw Android in stone age for sure,
I will use cloud only when the internet becomes free like air,sunlight,rain,wind.
- Imran Sarwar
well said, i really enjoyed your comments.
During the two years of owning my S1 games and apps impoved enormously. Especially games. Two weeks ago I bought a Note 2. After one week I had downloaded all the games that I had always wanted to try but couldn't on my old SI. I also saved two Spotify playlist to my internal memory. When I realised that I only had 2GB remaining I went to download apps2SD. To my surprise it was not available for my phone, so the newly purchased 32GB SD card is still empty and I have to stop buying games in the play store.
Is this what Google and game developers want?!
Trying to BS instead of giving an honest answer always makes things worse. No SD slot was simply a compromise to reduce costs. Many would have paid a few dollars more to have the slot included but even so the Nexus 7 is a hell of a good deal. If a another device arrives with equal specs and has an SD slot at a slightly higher price I would buy it instead. If I wanted lack of choice and all my decisions made by the manufacturer I would have bought an iPad.
- Vai
theres no doubt google will bring out a 32gb version, they have to to compensate for the lack of expandable storage, just like they did with the n7 i just wish they had brought out a full line up. Begining with 16Gb base model then 32Gb and 64Gb models. The device is cheap enough customers wont mind paying extra for storage.
- William
I love Android, but it needs better standardization in both hardware and OS.
- Bruce Gavin Ward
that 'answer' is meaningless; Google has an alternate agenda winding somewhere around carriers, and manufacturers, and keeping control of their products (even though it is actually only 'their' OS). It may come back to bite them; that's why i am heading for the samSung Galaxy Note II, not the Nexus 4 [but i own a '7'].
- Wayne Steed
So I go on holiday, I want to load about 8Gb of music, plus a season of 24 maybe, in HD, because I might want to watch it on a TV thru HDMI. So where am i suppose to store all of this on 16Gb. Plus the photos I might be taking. Come on, what a lame excuse. Either give us 32/64Gb internal like an Apple device or put a SD card slot in there. For pity sake.
- Prasan Chari
Daurte – I don' t buy a phone without SD. Google will not get my business for the NEXUS 4 phones and also nexus pads due to lack of SD. SD is a must if you have unreliable data providers. If you want to sell these phones out of US specially in ASIA, you better have an SD, internet is so unreliable there,
- mikkej2k
If a storage card is old technology , then it's probably cheap , widespread , familiar to most people and easy to use.
- AndroidBrian
If thats really the case let the customer choose if he/she wants to put a "confusing" micro sd card in there phone. That answer is truly insulting. I assume Google does it because you want to sell Cloud Storage and you want people to purchase media through the Play Store. Dont need storage if all your movies and music are stream-able at anytime.
Im not angry at the truth, because the truth is why Google Tablets and the Nexus 4 are so cheap (wouldn't shock me if Google lost money on every Nexus 4 sold at that price). These inexpensive products are Play Store pushers. Google like Apple Knows once your purchase a large amount of media from there apps store the more unlikely they are to switch platforms.
Durate you are wrong "not a lot of people" more like nobody will be happy with this answer.
- mikkej2k
Look at HTC vs, Samsung. If they each make a phone with the same quad core and 5 inch screen with the latest release of Android , how do you choose?
Removable battery and SD card play a factor when everything else is fairly equal
- Prasan Chari
Google…. manufacture specs what customer want , not what Google employees want some google tech geek think SD cards is too complicated LOL. Customer drive your sales not your employees.
- Doug Rector
The chinese will win in the end if google leaves off the sd slot – check out the new Ainol – I have seen several of this brnd and the quality is very good
- Somedude
Stop treating people like fuckwitts a memory card is a basic necessity especially when loading up media for when u r not connected
Bullshit we need a sd slot and im not getting a nexus device for that reason.
- leoingle
This is the biggest load of crap ever! Not to already state the obvious of why that reason is total BS. But ppl buy Nexus phones for reasons showing they are technically savvy, thus null and voiding that reason.
Google is opposed to the sdcard slot for the same reason as Apple: so that they can charge an extra $100 for $12 worth of extra storage. The "user confusion" line is just an excuse to overcharge the customer.
- xeridium
What a flimsy excuse.
- GottaBeKiddingMe
You gotta be kidding me…
Does he think he's working for Apple or something? Anybody that gets confused with an sd likely wouldn't even be buying a smartphone in the first place.
- Kassim
In truth, having no SD slot simplifies some things about data storage – e.g. no need to split your media collection between onboard and removale storage, all your apps will fit on the device itself, the transfer speed is faster etc etc.
Now, if they could only get it into their thick corporate skulls that having 8GB of storage on a flagship is another "left over from the paleolithic era of computing" and stop releasing said devices, I would be a very happy bunny. A bare minimum should be the 16GB mark. But 32GB would be even better and should suit the overwhelming majority.
If they ever did that, then I would have more reason to consider an SD slot as "redudant". Otherwise, jog on Google and take your nonsense excuses with you…
SD card slot is not just about data storage is about giving the device more flexibility so that you don't have to carry around a laptop that can read the SD cards. I like the SD card slot so I can take the pictures from my underwater camera or action cam and upload them without having to use a laptop.
- Jeff Weatherup
This decision is literally the only thing stopping me from buying this phone. For as much as I love Google and Android, I'm furious with this decision on their part. They've lost a sale from me, just because they want to take things from a "different approach" (which is bull crap). The real reason is that they want you to use Google Music and their cloud services, because they want to own your information. Guess what – I like having the music on my own device, not your servers, Google. (sigh)
- jimbo
What worries me is to decide a space limit for a device's lifetime. SDcard was a Go-or-No-Go for me when I choosed my last phone. I think that the real reason is that many popular tablets don't have SDCards.
- V-Phuc
Matias, are you listening? It seems like you are and will lose a lot of customers because your phones and tablets do NOT have the capability to expand storage via microSD card. Consumers have spoken loud and clear on this issue. Are you listening/reading?
- Benedict Tan
No device should be without secondary storage. Two is one, one is none. Writing off the utility of having an abundantly available, consumer scaleable solution is pun intended: small minded.
The UX excuse is exactly that; an excuse. People who put SD cards on their phones do so already with an idea of how they want to use them. People who would be "confused" by SD cards wouldn't have them.
Sanity check; the "comfortized" phones and tablets from Google's hardware partners tend to have SD card support and are aimed at a largely less "tech savvy" market demand. This would lead me to believe that users are more than capable if not willing to deal with it.
- brad6632
certainly disappointed. I'd like an N4, but It's a no-go til i can store enough music offline and be able to physically store my pictures on removable hardware (SD card)
- V-Phuc
A slightly off-topic here: Has anyone felt bothered that with some most recent Android OS systems starting with ICS, the option to move apps to SD card has been removed? Is that another attempt to shove down the consumer's throat the purchase of bigger storage tablets/smartphones, as well as the use of cloud storage (w/ fees obviously)? In that regard, Google just follows Apple footsteps, and I'm not sure that's a winning path. Such a shame all these flimsy excuses and attempts to make consumers look like Neanderthals!
- ilikepear
Where is the choice???? Instead of removing it, provide it as a CHOICE, dummies will not use it, advance users will appreciate it.
This is the most retarded reasoning ever, which cause the never ending cycle of rooting and bricking phones/tablets. Same goes for the sd slot.
- David Monroe
I have 12GB of legitimate, legally paid for music, if I bought it on CD it's all OGG/Vorbis, if I bought it online it's MP3.
Google Play Music DOES NOT CUT IT. I work in a cold war era government building. If I want to listen to music while I work I can't stream it because SURPRISE! Keeping radio waves from penetrating the building was part of the original design plan. Also, Wifi? If you know how paranoid normal companies are about bandwidth and streaming imagine government. Top it off with crappy mobile phone infrastructure in the US – needless to say I buy my phones based on the ability to support SD Cards. Preferably SDXC so I can get a bit more room. My EVO 4G LTE doesn't have way too many apps installed, even with all of my music on my SD card it's not enough space, some of those more advanced video games take up a bit of room.

Chapter One: Baseball Mishap
"Hit the damn ball already!" Kenny screamed.
I twisted my black and red baseball cap to the side and gripped the bat, ready to swing.
Allen smiled devilishly and drew the ball back before throwing it as hard as he could towards me. I pulled my whole body back and swung with the bat. I heard an echo from inside the metal baseball bat as it collided with the ball. I watched it fly through the air and saw my friends raced to catch it. I bolted to first base, then second, and right as I was ready to run to third I heard the shattering of a window in the distance.
"Shit, Nikki run!" I heard Allen scream in his rough voice but I was already bolting for our bikes and skate boards that rested half way through the large, empty field.
We raced over and started throwing our baseball equipment into our back packs when we heard an old lady scream about us being evil hooligans as we raced off. I watched as Christa's natural red hair disappeared behind the corner, and then came back. I heard her scream just as a cop car raced down the alley.
"This was such a good idea Allen!" I yelled sarcastically skating down the alley past him, avoiding trash bins and tree roots as I did so.
"Hey, you went along with it didn't you?" He laughed as he attempted to catch up to me on his old bike that was practically falling apart from under his large frame.
I was about to look back to talk to him face to face but then realized he was already beside me. "I thought we were going to the baseball field not a random field next to a bunch of nice breakable windows!" I shouted at him as I skated around street cat, its screech echoing off of a trash can and intensifying.
I laughed just before I used a piece of wood balancing on a log as a ramp and jumped over a ditch that he has to go around. His curse and the cop sirens faded away as we raced on. Whenever we got in to trouble we'd split up and meet back under the over pass in the older part of town so we could make sure none of us had been caught, and to have a good laugh of course.
When I reached the over pass I was greeted by the familiar sound of metal music blasting from Roxanne's shitty 1985 Toyota speakers. I raced over, abandoning my skate board, and had a head count, all the girls were present and that day it seemed like the guys were the ones lagging behind.
"All right we've accomplished something now load up your shit in the trunk." Roxanne ordered opening her car trunk and throwing her scooter in the back, followed by her and Christa's back packs.
Christa started to fit her mountain bike on the bike rack that was attached to the back of Roxanne's car just as Kenny pulled up breathing heavily and throwing his bike to the side. He fell to his knees and staggered to get up while saying, "Guys we have to bolt." He breathed and reached in through the broken window of the car, grabbing the keys from the sun visor, and throwing them to Roxanne.
"Where's Allen?" I asked and threw my back pack into the trunk as he did the same, the clips on our backpacks clinking together.
"He's the distraction, now move!" He ordered putting his bike on the rack and taking Christa's bike from her since she was being too slow for him, like usual. He strained to hold both bikes but managed it well enough.
Her face turned as red as her hair as she boiled over with rage. She hated it when he not only ordered her around but when he acted like she didn't know anything. It wasn't like Kenny enjoyed bossing people around; it was just the way he had to get their attention. It wasn't that he thought she couldn't do anything; it was more that he thought she was doing it wrong.
I touch her shoulder and make her face me. "Get in the car." I whispered and open the door for her. She nodded and got in. I walked over and helped with the chains to the bike rack.
"We don't send people off for distractions and you know that," I warned him roughly as I snagged one of the bikes from him and held it far enough away so that he couldn't take it back.
He looked at me through is brown hair for a moment before turning his attention back to putting the bike on the rack. "We had no other choice at that point." He told me as he quickly pulled the last latch that fully secured the bike onto the back of the car.
"That's for me to decide not you," I said as I pulled the chains tight, just to be sure that the bike was fully on the rack, the proceeded to place his bike on the rack. I managed to secure it much quicker than Kenny did.
We heard the rumbling of cars over head on the over pass and I pushed Kenny towards the car doors. "Get in," I ordered just as Allen pulled up and completely wiped out, just a few feet away from the car, which felt much like a getaway car.
I raced over to his side and pulled on his arm to help him stand. "How are you doing dumb ass?" I asked sarcastically as I reached for his bike that was bent and twisted in different ways, he was always terrible at riding, even after years of practice. Years of wear could be seen through the bike, each having some old story behind them.
He coughed and waved his hands as if to clear up the dust that now filled the air around us from his stupidity at wiping out.
"They're coming," he said standing and grabbing his bike from me. I took it from him again and told him to get in the car, he did so and I worked to try and find space on the rack to fit his bike. That's when I heard the cop sirens and saw the blinding blue and red lights growing closer.
"Why are they going to such lengths to catch us?" I screamed over the sirens and roar of Roxanne's car engine, becoming severely pissed.
Christa cleared her throat, rather loudly. "That was kind of the mayor's mom's house." She said shyly, like she was worried I'd lash out if I knew their stupidly, or, Allen's rather.
I hurried as I tried to thread the chain through the frame of Allen's bike. The bike rack was old and breaking apart, rope being used to hold most of the bikes in place.
"Forget the bike and get in!" Kenny called, but I heard Allen argue that he didn't want to lose his bike. "Hurry up back there!" Kenny said instead, worry in his voice and I hastily attempted to finish tying the bike up.
"I am!" I shouted back, worrying myself. At the very last second I finished, jumped on to the car, and screamed for them to go.
Roxanne floored it and I held on for dear life. Rocks and dust flew in my face and I was slipping before we're even out of the dusty field that surrounded the over pass. My hands were getting sweating and they tried to tell Roxanne to slow down but she wouldn't risk us getting caught.
"Nikki hold on!" Kenny called, sticking his head out of the window that was on his side.
I replied screaming, "What do you think I'm doing!" My hands were sweating like I'd never sweated before. My blonde hair flew into my eyes, forcing them to water. Through tears and blonde locks I saw them reaching the streets. Once they got there we'd be free. I held on tighter.
Suddenly they turned a sharp corner. Kenny called out to me but I was already slipping off the trunk. I reached for something to hold onto but there wasn't anything close enough. There was a sharp pain in my back and my head was throbbing as dust filled my eyes and I saw them race on just as I was surrounded by police cars.

In order to accomplish that goal, each student must demonstrate a technical foundation in vocal production that will allow that student's voice to evolve in an efficient and healthy manner throughout the years that follow that student's training at NYU. In addition, each student must demonstrate a respect for of the value of the text – the words that are sung as well as the sounds that are made – along with an demonstrable understanding that the best singing is an amalgamation of a freely produced sound and a personal need to communicate.
Coursework and Requirements
Coursework includes classes in opera performance and classical song repertoire as well as training in voice with leading vocalists from New York's professional community. Acting and dance classes are conducted by working professionals in the industry, and classes are offered in foreign language diction, vocal production, and Alexander Technique. Classical Voice majors have the opportunity to cross traditional lines and benefit from the opportunity to participate in music theatre workshops as well as fully staged music theatre productions. The degree requires a total of 36 credits and can be completed in three semesters. All masters candidates perform a graduate recital as their terminal degree experience. Our department's programs in Music Technology, Music Business, and Music Education provide students with elective courses that further prepare them for employment opportunities in the world of professional music performance.
The Foundation for a Career
The Steinhardt School's Program in Vocal Performance offers training that is designed to prepare young singers for professional careers in opera, recitals, and the concert stage. Our curriculum is designed for the accomplished young singer who seeks a program that integrates the study of voice with the study of acting. Our goal is to provide singers with a solid foundation of healthy vocal technique on which they can build a career in whatever area of performance they might choose to pursue.
Performance Skills
The classical voice curriculum requires extensive training in private voice, acting, diction for singers, song repertoire, and movement as well as the core courses for the serious study of music – music theory, aural comprehension, keyboard skills, and music history.
Private Voice Study
Our voice faculty is drawn from New York's top professional singers – a community of working professionals from the worlds of opera, recital, and concert singing. In addition to their strong commitment to teaching, our faculty members pursue active professional careers. Their knowledge, combined with their performance experience and exceptional teaching skills, creates a unique learning opportunity for each student.
Performance Opportunities

Twitter's censorship is a gray box of shame, but not for Twitter
Twitter's announcement this week that it was going to enable country-specific censorship of posts is arousing fury around the Internet. Commentators, activists, protesters and netizens have said it's "very bad news" and claim to be "#outraged". Bianca Jagger, for one, asked how to go about boycotting Twitter, on Twitter, according to the New York Times. (Step one might be… well, never mind.) The critics have settled on #TwitterBlackout: all day on Saturday the 28th, they promised to not tweet, as a show of protest and solidarity with those who might be censored.
Here's the thing: Like Twitter itself, it's time for the Internet, and its chirping classes, to grow up. Twitter's policy and its transparency pledge with the censorship watchdog Chilling Effects is the most thoughtful, honest and realistic policy to come out of a technology company in a long time. Even an unsympathetic reading of the new censorship policy bears that out.
To understand why, let's unpack the policy a bit: First, Twitter has strongly implied it will not remove content under this policy. If that doesn't sound like a crucial distinction from outright censorship, it is. Taking the new policy with existing ones, the only time Twitter says it will ever remove a tweet altogether is in response to a DMCA request. The DMCA may have its own flaws, but it is a form of censorship that lives separately from the process Twitter has outlined in this recent announcement. Where the DMCA process demands a deletion of copyright-infringing content, Twitter's censorship policy promises no such takedown: it promises instead only to withhold censored content from the country where the content has been censored. Nothing else.
To be sure, that's censorship of a kind, but compared to the industry censorship even Americans have long lived with — take the Motion Picture Association of America, which still censors films based on dubious standards of taste and morality — it's positively enlightened. And it never permanently destroys or pre-empts content, the way the MPAA does.
Further, for a country to censor content, it has to make a "valid and properly scoped request from an authorized entity" to Twitter, which will then decide what to do with the request. Twitter will also make an effort to notify users whose content is censored about what happened and why, and even give them a method to challenge the request. According to Twitter's post, a record of the action will also be filed to the Chilling Effects website. The end result of a successful request is that the tweet or user in question is replaced by a gray box that notifies other readers inside the censoring country that the Tweet has been censored:
They're gray boxes of shame alright, but not for the user, or for Twitter. It's instead a bright signal to a country's online citizens that their government is limiting their free speech. While the Egypt uprisings were powerful and in some part powered by Twitter, I can easily imagine a world where a censored tweet becomes the ultimate protest symbol; one that unfortunately deprives the protesters of content, but sends the message to protesters that their worst fears are right, and they ought not give up their fight.
The press organization Reporters Without Borders has sent a letter of protest to Twitter chairman Jack Dorsey, which is surprising considering the power of the gift that Dorsey has just given them. While some reporters get themselves on the ground to report from say, Syria, nothing can stop others in the U.S. or any other country from following the tweets of Syrian protesters, even if the Syrian government requests and is granted censorship of tweets within that country.
That's the second important note: Twitter has made no mention of disabling users' ability to tweet or of deleting a user because their tweets have been censored. Syria or some other country may choose to take down its communications grid or try to block access to Twitter, but short of such an action, it can't stop tweets from reaching the outside world under this policy. In fact Twitter has strengthened its case to remain online in countries where free speech is threatened, possibly providing protesters with a valuable tool that would otherwise have been preemptively shut down.
If a government does engage in a cat-and-mouse game of blocking access, remember that nowhere else is the playing field more level between authorities and insurgents than online. Workarounds for Twitter blocks already exist, such as proxy servers that spoof the identity of users and their country of origin, and alternative access points (APIs) to reach the Twitter service.
Finally, reputation matters. Twitter has engendered much goodwill in the tech and international communities by its sterling behavior in both worlds. This is the company that put off a server upgrade to keep the tweets flowing from the Iran uprising in 2009, at the request of the U.S. State Department. It's a company that's managed to play by the rules while also leveling the playing field of communication as no other service has since Alexander Bell's telephone. There's nothing about this announcement that smacks of any change in policy or attitude; rather it seems like an honest attempt to abide by country-specific rules of law, while also exposing the power of those laws to citizens in countries where freedoms have been abridged. (Forbes as an example, mentions it is illegal to insult a French bureaucrat. One can imagine the uprising in France if the government tried to censor a Tweet insulting Sarkozy or one of his ministers, which would presumably lead to a rapid re-writing of that law.)
As long as no country can ever make a claim to censor a tweet on a worldwide basis, that tweet will exist somewhere on Twitter's servers, and someone will be able to see it. By laying down clear rules for country-specific censorship, Twitter has implicitly stated that no government, company or individual has the power to eradicate a tweet it doesn't like from the face the Earth. Twitter has laid down the rules by which it will hold countries accountable, and by which it will hold itself accountable, at least when it comes to censorship.
They are so fair as to be without precedent, and if they are violated, the world presumably will be able to see the hypocrisy in an instant. That's a maturity that many — governments, corporations, and yes, sniping tweeters — have rarely shown when it comes to censorship or privacy policies. (Hello, SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, DMCA, Facebook and the rest!)
Besides, if Twitter were as evil as its critics would have us believe, would we be able to see the results of the ongoing #TwitterBlackout? If we are living in a world where corporations have more power than government, I'll take that level of transparency from a new media company, every day.

This is a very fair and reasoned look at the issue from Mr. Smalera. Unfortunately the internet moves faster than fairness and reason, and people are already up in arms for nothing. Instead of trying to compose a more nuanced and complex worldview, knee-jerk denunciation seems to be the trendy thing these days.
But as this article says, it's time for the internet to grow up, and that's the only way that people will become more reasoned in their responses to things like this.
Censorship is obviously on the offensive. It is a scary and escalating threat to our freedom, which isn't going to go away unless collectively we wake up.
Here is another example, which equates to censorship by news suppression. An internet film has been released exposing corruption by the Australian government. The media response there? SILENCE. Here's the film:
Shocking, and a direct result of the lack of plurality of media ownership there.
I'm pretty sick of a bunch of whiners that sit back and cry about what someone else is doing. If they're so incensed about this "censorship" and want to "do something about it" how about take some of THEIR money and build a competing service? No, they'll never take the risk or even put out the effort, they'll just get upset about someone else having to work in the REAL world.
Whiners of the world: Either build your OWN system putting up your own money and spending your own time to run it, or STFU. If you ever had to deal with the many laws and regulations pushed on business by Progressive Liberals (most of which YOU are) then you'd think differently. Instead, you sit back and b*tch about how others provide YOU services.
disagree with your reasoning if the end result of a successful censorship request is (quote) "that the tweet or user in question is replaced by a gray box that notifies other readers inside the censoring country that the Tweet has been censored…. it's instead a bright signal to a country's online citizens that their government is limiting their free speech."

After a half-century of fighting for civil rights and civil liberties in the United States; national liberation movements in the 3rd World – I still won't accept the arrogance of American tea party liberals [deliberately lower case] who feel they have the right to tell the whole world at what rate they accede to what amount of Jeffersonian democracy.
I'm as workingclass progressive and Leftwing as they come – but, that's tempered by an interest in understanding the history of other nations and other people. Most of whom have existed within their own culture a helluva lot longer than folks living within geographic boundaries that protected us from the wars and invasions suffered by others.
Don't joke too much about France for an example. 50 years ago was the first time I got on a bus there and went to sit on an empty seat in the front of the crowd – and the driver politely explained to me those seats were reserved for the invalids of war. If the signs aren't still there – and they may not be – it's because that generation is dying out.
The memories aren't.
This is an incredibly first world perspective on regional censorship of twitter. I don't know where to begin. Firstly the idea that a protester in a country with a psychoticly oppressive regime (like say Syria) will take the block message as a sign to carry on fighting and not a warning that their protests have been flagged and their life is now in danger, is incredibly naive. In case you forgot Twitter has already given up private information to conform to the UK super injunction law over the Ryan Giggs Scandal. To think they're going to protect someone in Syria or the like is grossly naive. Secondly assuming that because people, outside that oppressive regime can still read that tweet will lead to some political action is again blindly naive. People in first world countries have been reading, in Time and other publications, about abuse of human rights under oppressive regimes for decades, and it has done people living under those regimes very little good. Despite the claims social media globally want to make about their role in the Arab spring the only tweets that mattered was the ones left by
Gah hit send by mistake. To continue the only relevant tweets during the first few days of the Egyptian were those sent from within the country. After the internet blackout people had to turn to CB radio to organize. The censorship of twitter in oppressive regimes means the voice of the oppressed is silenced. Whether arm chair liberals hear them or not means little to those who live in fear. Only the knowledge that others sharing their plight are willing to fight back will make a difference. Twitter has just turned its back on millions of people living under oppressive regimes. This is cowardly behavior. And supporting it as a journalist is not only cowardly but shows a calouslness towards an issue you should be reporting in an unbiased light.
"""They're gray boxes of shame alright, but not for the user, or for Twitter. It's instead a bright signal to a country's online citizens that their government is limiting their free speech.
Can you retweet a grey box? If not, there is little chance such signals are going to be seen by a wide audience.
What is really to be hoped is such services remain opened to anonymizing networks.
"While the Egypt uprisings were powerful and in some part powered by Twitter, I can easily imagine a world where a censored tweet becomes the ultimate protest symbol; one that unfortunately deprives the protesters of content, but sends the message to protesters that their worst fears are right, and they ought not give up their fight."
Right, as if any of the protesters throughout the Arab world needed Twitter to tell them that their government was limiting their right to free speech. It's absurd to laud Twitter for raising awareness of censorship by censoring.
"One can imagine the uprising in France if the government tried to censor a Tweet insulting Sarkozy or one of his ministers, which would presumably lead to a rapid re-writing of that law."
France isn't really the issue here, is it? Will an uprising in Syria because of a censored tweet cause Damascus to reassess its policies? Besides, how will the French or Syrian citizens know what they're protesting about? The content of the offending tweet will have been censored in their country.
There are still many ways to work around being blocked by offending countries, such as changing ones IP to reflect living in another country where access to the tweet would be available. Though I do not agree with censorship, this is much better than completely removing the message as Twitter was previously doing. This at least is still allowing access to the site. Many protesters in these oppressed countries are very tech savvy and can still organize through the means of social media. Twitter's new policy though may be there to appease these oppressive and totalitarian countries, still allows protesters to communicate with each other and the outside world.

Yes, thank you! Here's the thing: as described here (http://bit.ly/xurpzG) the combination of being able to viewed blocked tweets from other countries and the publicizing of the takedown notices on ChillingEffects means that "Censored" stories will never die. There is an easy workaround for the blocking by country, and other methods will probably emerge as well. Twitter also moves too quickly for takedown notices, of which ALL 4411 have been DMCA-related, clustered, and from the UK & US. Graphics and data sets available on IBM's many eyes (http://bit.ly/wqqjYg). You really have to look at the bigger picture.

[…] debate going about whether Twitter's new censorship policy is reasonable or not. My colleague Paul Smalera wrote one of the better posts leaning toward Twitter's policy having some merits, in the way it makes it easier for those […]
[…] surprisingly, this has sparked a firestorm of controversy. As Reuters reports, the offending tweets won't actually be deleted, but rather hidden from residents of that country […]
This argument assumes a lot. To your point, do we need gray boxes to tell us which countries stifle online speech, or *new protest symbols in a sea of them? The overriding issue is the lack of full and complete transparency in Twitter's methods and capabilities to censor tweets. For example:
– What does a "valid and properly scoped request from an authorized entity" mean?
– What information is required — a court order, a phone call?
– Who is considered an authorized entity — anyone familiar with a country's law?
– Are members of a country's news media or press exempt from censorship?
– Can requests for censorship be submitted in bulk, by keyword or by user?
– What is the criteria used for censoring a tweet? Is it only law?
– Is there a deliberation process? If so, what happens to the content during that time?
– Can tweets *coming into a country* be censored from view within that same country?
– Is any part of the technical act involved in censoring a tweet an automated process?
– When will requests be posted to Chilling Effects? Before, after, and if after, how long?
Take this quote from Twitter, also referenced above:
"…Upon receipt of requests to withhold content we will promptly notify affected users, *unless we are legally prohibited from doing so*, and clearly indicate to viewers when content has been withheld."
– Could Twitter be legally prohibited from sharing a censorship request at all?
– Could Twitter be legally prohibited from indicating content was ever withheld?
It's not clear, and presents a slippery slope potentially frightening to some. Questioning censorship practices is important and necessary, and these are basic questions I would expect a journalist to be asking.

RE: #URLburning on Twitter
Hi Paul, I have been experiencing a form of censorship on Twitter that I nickname "URL burning." Basically, Twitter appears to blacklist a URL so that if two tweets are identical except for a URL, the URL tweet gets killed from a hashtag stream if it contains the blacklisted URL and is tweeted by the censored user's account. You can visit the hashtag #URLburning to see a little more about it. It is very easily replicable. Anybody's guess whether Twitter is using programs or people to blacklist URLs, but the behaviour is very very clear and easy to duplicate.
This can kill a fledgling tweeters ability to expand a message and deeply cuts into: (1) retweets (2) new followers (3) traffic to a truly relevant website. When you think about it, the mechanism on twitters end is literally and aggressively killing an information flow.

There are still not one but two editions to be published before England's next World Cup group game, yet Britain's national newspapers cannot stop fixating on what is essentially a do-or-die encounter against Uruguay.
Monday's papers focused almost exclusively on Wayne Rooney's role within the team, with disagreements over where—or even if—the Manchester United man would play against the Celeste on Thursday.
That debate continues on Tuesday's back pages, although the Daily Telegraph instead opt to lead on a powerful image of another striker they expect to play in that game, Luis Suarez.
Tuesday's Telegraph Sport front page - "Suarez: I am ready" #tomorrowspaperstoday #bbcpapers #ENG v #URU #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/wxz4VrruK0— Nick Sutton (@suttonnick) June 16, 2014
The Daily Express, with the headline "I'm coming for you," also highlight Suarez's availability to face the Three Lions after he missed his country's Costa Rica defeat while continuing his recovery from recent knee surgery.

The Sun are the first paper to continue the focus on Rooney, going with the reasonably amusing headline, "Sorry Wayne, I want you to be a...Rooserve."

The Times go with the same line (albeit in more restrained fashion) while also noting Suarez's availability.

Why do those papers believe Rooney will now be benched? The Daily Mirror reveals all, as they focus on the fact Rooney was asked to train with other back-up squad members during Monday's session.
Tuesday's Daily Mirror back page - "Super Sub" #tomorrowspaperstoday #bbcpapers #ENG v #URU pic.twitter.com/lOnusLHdv6— Nick Sutton (@suttonnick) June 16, 2014
Finally, however, are The Independent—who deserve credit for focusing on the football that was actually played on Monday rather than what is still to come. They lead on Germany's demolition of Portugal with the short but sweet headline "Mullered." Simple, but effective.

Some people go to New York to be discovered. When jazz pianist Cedar Walton drove his Chevy across the country to get there in 1955, it was for anonymity. "Everybody knew me in Dallas," he recalls. "I was 'that Walton kid.' I couldn't get away with shit. Especially in school. My mother was a teacher, my uncle was a principal."
Talking by phone from his home in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, 78-year-old Walton continued: "I had this unconscious feeling of trying to escape this place where everybody knew me. New York is the capital of nobody knowing you. Even if they know you, they pretend they don't."
Walton, who had sat in with touring musicians while studying music at the University of Denver, spent a year in New York, playing low-key gigs (but "mainly just observing," he says) before he was drafted into the Army. Stationed in postwar Germany in the late '50s, he again attempted to lay low. At first he was "miscast" as an electrician, but Walton later worked his way into special services, where he polished his playing and arranging skills alongside musicians like Glenn Miller Orchestra alum Don Ellis and a young Eddie Harris.
"That was a good turn," Walton says of his stint in the Army. "Quite accidentally, mind you, but you've got to take it how it comes."
Walton left the Army with $700 in his pocket, and he wasn't back in New York long before his sharpened musical skills were picked up by scene veterans. Trombonist J.J. Johnson stuck Walton in his band in 1958, and "that was the beginning of my major-league career, so to speak," he says. (The baseball language is no accident—Walton is an avid Yankees fan who first came to New York as a teenager to watch Jackie Robinson play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.)
Walton's biggest break, though, came in 1961 when Art Blakey enlisted him to play with his Jazz Messengers, a globetrotting outfit that would come to be known as a sort of finishing school for jazz musicians. "He pushed you to be a leader," Walton says. "Well, he didn't have to push Freddie [Hubbard] and Wayne [Shorter], but me, I was the most stubborn."
It wasn't long before Walton stepped reluctantly into the spotlight. Not only did the Messengers play his composition, "Mosaic," they named their 1961 album after it. The song—a beautifully layered, hard-driving number that has become a well-known jazz standard, was one in a handful of tunes Walton would contribute to the group. The tricky and Latin-tinged "Plexis" and the heart-wrenching ballad "When Love is New" would follow.
"Before I met him, I thought being intelligent meant going to Harvard or something," Walton says of Blakey. "But no way—that guy developed his intelligence traveling around the world and playing for kings and queens and mayors and governors."
In his 45 years as a bandleader, Walton has headlined for plenty of heads of state. He has recorded and toured relentlessly through most of those years, but his career is remarkably free of the years-long potholes that dot most of his contemporaries' discographies. He has released well over 40 albums as a bandleader and, for the most part, they are hard to date from just a listen.
When the world wanted jazz lite, Walton released some of his finest, hardest-driving records with his band Eastern Rebellion. And when Walton did veer off the straight-ahead path, he did it his way. Studio-produced records of their era, like 1978's Animation and 1980's Soundscapes, were funky projects both high-concept and high-overhead, but Walton's playing was solid and his knack for arranging on full display. "I enjoyed anything they asked me to do because it was still me," he says. Only one thing changed: "The money went way up...my pockets were full!"
These days, Walton gets the most satisfaction from playing in the trio setting. "It allows me to play in my own atmosphere," he says. Walton's trio on this rare Portland visit includes bassist David Williams and drummer Willie Jones III.
Fate was a little less kind to the Chevy that took Walton to New York than it was to the pianist. "I parked it in the Bronx at my buddy's house," he says. "I'd go visit my car sometimes and it started disappearing. First the tires...."
SEE IT: The Cedar Walton Trio plays Jimmy Mak's, 221 NW 10th Ave., on Tuesday, May 1, and Wednesday, May 2. Both shows 8 pm. $20. All ages until 9:30 pm.

Watch Pit Bulls and Parolees
Pit Bulls and Parolees is a reality television show chronicling the day to day operations of the Villalobos Rescue Center, and the centers founder and owner, Tia Torres. While watching the show you will get to see some of the rescues, some of the adoptions, and you will also get to see the parolees hard at work cleaning kennels, feeding, watering, and walking the dogs.
Villalobos meaning "house of wolves" in Spanish, began as a wolf rescue in the early nine-teen nineties. It is now the country's largest pit bull rescue center. Tia, along with her daughters, Mariah and Tania, her sons, Kanani and Keli'i, and the half dozen parolees employed at Villalobos, take care of over two hundred Pit Bulls that are currently at Villalobos.
Villalobos rehabilitates and retrains all of the Pit Bulls that they rescue, and hope that one day they will all be adopted into their forever homes. The rescue center cost about a thousand dollars a day to operate. They depend on the fees from the adoptions of the Pit Bulls, and the donations that they receive to keep up the day to day operations of the center.
Villalobos has recently relocated from California to New Orleans and also has a center in New Mexico. The center in New Mexico is run by a former parolee, Mando. This center is for the lifers. Lifers are the Pit Bulls that Villalobos rescues that can not ever be adopted due to court orders, or just because of certain behavior issues. The New Mexico center is not currently open for operations, however the New Orleans location is up and running in full swing.
Pit Bulls and Parolees gives the world a better understanding of what it takes day to day to run a successful animal rescue center, and gives the world a better understanding of the Pit Bull breed. Tia Torres is also giving a second chance to the parolees that she employs, who might not find employment anywhere else because of the crimes that they have committed.

USES: Insulin regular is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This man-made insulin product is the same as human insulin. It replaces the insulin that your body would normally make. It is a short-acting insulin. It works by helping blood sugar (glucose) get into cells so your body can use it for energy. This medication is usually used in combination with a medium- or long-acting insulin product. This medication may also be used alone or with other oral diabetes drugs (such as metformin).Prev page:Lopressor 50mg Price
