New Mobile War Report Gundam W: Endless Waltz The Glory of Losers Chapter 21
So Persisting and Nikiya have this super amazing RP/GW universe that I find myself increasingly fascinated with—the amount of work they've put into it is astounding—and they have these character designs and concepts and models that I think are fabulous, so I wanted to try my hand at drawing their GW head!children. Any mistakes are obviously mine, and any remaining awesome is obviously theirs. Let them know what you think and hit them up for info about their character blogs, which I've been stalking hungrily for agessss. Left to right and top to bottom, we've got 1, 2, R, 3, 4, and 5, and I really hope at least that much was obvious despite the lack of color and well-drawnness. I worked off specific pics in a few cases—can you guess who the faces models were?

The city of Atlanta was the proud host of the 40th annual Society for American Baseball Research convention this weekend. The Convention along with the Jersey Retirement of Tom Glavine made for a busy weekend for Atlanta baseball fans. One of the highlights of the SABR convention was the Atlanta Braves "Worst to First" panel that discussed the 91 National League Champion team. The panel was made up of former broadcaster Pete Van Wieren, Braves Manager Bobby Cox, former second baseman Mark Lemke, former outfielder Ron Gant, and Hall of Fame pitcher Phil Neikro.
I was lucky enough to be invited to the SABR convention this weekend with a full media credential. I jumped at the chance to be front and center for the "Worst to First" panel as I was in high school when the 91 team was captivating us all and they are very dear to my heart. While the panel was a clear highlight, I found so much more at the Convention. Prior to going, when I thought of SABR I thought of statistical analysis. While there was plenty of that to go around there was a deep love and passion for the research and history of the game of baseball.
One of the most enjoyable things I sat in on was a committee meeting of SABR's Chicago Black Sox committee. There was absolutely no statistical analysis involved in this meeting as they concentrated on various tasks of gathering as much information as possible to determine what actually occurred in the 1919 World Series. This group also had a panel discussion on Saturday with esteemed former AJC writer Furman Bisher who was the only person to ever conduct an interview with "Shoeless" Joe Jackson after he was banned from baseball.
Stories like these are only the tip of the iceberg so to speak as to what the convention had to offer. There was a presentation discussing Mickey Mantle's legendary Griffith Stadium home run and whether or not it could have actually traveled 565 feet. There was also a visual time line presentation of the 1991 Braves season that was presented on a Google Maps platform. Whether you have a technological, historical, or statistical interest in baseball, then SABR has an area for you.
The one thing that most of the convention goers had in common was a deep passion for the game. While walking through the exhibits you could hear countless baseball stories coming from people of all ages from all over the world. One of the highlights for me was sitting next to a SABR member from Montana named Alan Rice while we waited for the Braves panel to start. He told me some remarkable stories of journeys he has been making through the southeast at various ballparks over the course of his life. (Thanks Alan!) Another interesting story was while I was waiting for a presentation to start a gentleman asked me if the seat next to me was taken. That gentleman turned out to be none other than former Florida Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez who was also there taking in the convention.
Stories like my meeting with Mr Rice and briefly talking with Fredi Gonzalez is what I think is one of the biggest things that the conference has to offer. A friendly atmosphere where people come together to talk about baseball. People from all over with so many different backgrounds as fans or some that are actually involved in the game. One of the first things I did after I got home was register my membership at www.sabr.org.
I would recommend to anyone that is a serious baseball fan to get involved with SABR. I would be happy to try and answer any questions about my experience in the comments section of this post. I would like to know if any of Tomahawk Take's members out there are SABR members and would love to hear your experiences with the organization. I will be talking more about the "Worst to First" Panel in the coming days so be sure and check back.

We know why Jack Chrisman is smiling after burning down his first flip-top GT-1 Comet: He walked away. Being topless, his Comet was lighter than Eddie Schartman's and Dyno Don's, and quicker. A parachute malfunction sent Chrisman off the end of National Speedway after clocking an 8.63 e.t. at 176-plus mph. Supposedly, Mercury officials asked the safety crew to let it burn to the ground. Maybe Jack's smiling because Mercury had a new car in the works for him--a '67 Comet with a Logghe chassis and a blown SOHC.

President Obama: Rescue attempt of NH-based journalist James Foley failed
"The U.S. government had what we believed was sufficient intelligence, and when the opportunity presented itself, the President authorized the Department of Defense to move aggressively to recover our citizens," Lisa Monaco, a top counterterrorism adviser to President Barack Obama, said in a statement. "Unfortunately, that mission was ultimately not successful because the hostages were not present."

A chilling message
Reuters reported that on the night of Aug. 13, Foley's family received a chilling message: He would be executed in retaliation for U.S. air strikes on the militant group Islamic State.
Foley's family and friends hoped the militants were bluffing and wanted a ransom, he said.
The President said a group like ISIS has "no place in the 21st century."
"They (ISIS) have rampaged across cities and villages, killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence," said Obama. "They abduct women and children, and subject them to torture and rape and slavery."
"The brutality of this act is itself evidence of an unspeakable evil that is rampant and inhuman," LiBasci said. "To the prayers that have been offered since his captivity almost two years ago, we now add our prayers for James' eternal rest and, in Christ Jesus Our Lord, James' future resurrection to eternal life. Our prayers also must accompany a sorrowful mother, a grieving father, a deeply pained family and countless friends who have kept vigil all this time. May we also pray for those who have embraced the way of darkness and death, that they may turn away from this terrible evil now and forever."
On Wednesday, Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, called for an increase in U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq, telling the Reuters news service the attacks should be extended into Syria.
"Any attempt by you, Obama, to deny the Muslims their right to live in safety under the Islamic caliphate will result in the bloodshed of your people," he says.
Among the hostages sought in last month's rescue mission was Steven Sotloff, the American journalist who was threatened with beheading in the same video that showed the grisly execution of Foley. Sotloff has been missing since Aug. 4, 2013.
Sotloff has reported from Egypt, Turkey, Libya, Bahrain and Syria, among other countries, according to his Twitter feed and past news articles.
"We will be vigilant. We will be relentless," Obama said.

I think I have stumbled across a new category of distributed denial
of service (DDoS). (If this is old news, I'm sure I'll be corrected;
it's new to me.)
Traditional DDoS have the follow flow:
- A host (or few hosts) controls a large number of clients.
- The clients are directed by the host to attack a single site/server.
The attack can either be network or service oriented.
Alternate (New) DDoS model:
- Server 'A' directly prevents all clients from accessing server 'B'.
Here's an example of how it could work:
I recently posted about a Flash plugin risk that can crash or hang a browser.
Let's say that someone placed a corrupt Flash (SWF) file on a web server.
All clients that access the web server and that view the Flash file
(about 90% of all browsers can, so this is a good assumption) will
have their browsers crash or hang.
This is a DoS against the site, but it attacks the clients rather than
the server.
Now, let's take it one step further.
Doubleclick, adtegrity.spinbox.net, and Akamai are linked by most
large web sites. (Amazon, eBay, AltaVista, etc.)
I have observed these sites returning banner ads written as jpeg,
gif, and SWF.
Let's say that one of the SWF files is corrupted.
The single ad site can effectively deny all client access to the host
site by crashing/hanging all client browsers.
Server 'A' (the ad site) can directly prevent all clients from
accessing server 'B' (the host web site).
What's worse: This is more difficult to identify since local testing
on the local server may not identify why the clients are crashing.
The local server does not know what information was sent to the clients
by the ad sites.
In this example, I used ad sites and SWF files. It can be done with
any third-party site (remember all the Web Bugs discussions?).
Although SWF can do it today, I'm sure there will be more technologies
that can do it tomorrow.
Question: How can sites protect themselves from this?
(I mean: Aside from the obvious, "don't link to ad sites.")
Finally, I'm sure there are some script kiddies just dying to be "the
first one to pull this off". Please don't. Accidents happen all by
themselves and it's only a matter of time before this is seen in the
wild and by accident. Why bother implementing something this trivial?

Photo Printing reviews in Hallandale
pictures cut incorrectly, took longer than usual to print, employee didnt really acknowledge i was there, color of photo no good. took them back got money back!
Thought I was getting camera experts when purchasing a used camera. Was assured that it was certified to work. It was a consignment camera in a box. The instructions, however, were in Spanish. The camera did not come with a downloading USB chord nor camera drivers CD,. I went back to the store after the weekend and they begrudgingly ordered a cable and provided a CD for the drivers. But I was told since the camera was purchased from a Consignment customer, if I now wanted to return it they wouldn't pay me full price. I pointed out that nowhere on the invoice did it state no refunds or a "stocking charge". The cable arrived a week later but it didn't fix the problem. The store informed me that I'd have to purchase a card reader even though they told me at the time of sale popping in and out the memory card could cause damage to the camera. And they won't warranty that damage. And finally, while at the store, another customer took my keys by accident. The store staff wouldn't give me a ride. It was my problem. Again apparently!"
They were the only place I could find that could develop my slides nearby. Before I found them I had to mail my slides in. They will call you and follow up if there is going to be a delay."
I've been using them for 5 or 6 years. It is 9 cents a print. They are so easy to use online and I can get the prints within an hour by driving over to pick them up. I can do it 24 hours a day. When I do photo books they have good layouts for their books."
recommend this company for any Printing, Copying, Graphic Design, Embroidery and Silkscreen services you may need.. done right and ahead of Deadline!!!"
we've used them for many years. They do a great job and their prices are fair. They are quick and courteous as well."
I liked everything and thought the price and quality were both good. Overall, they offer good price, quality and service."
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.
Try an annual plan and if you want to cancel in your first year, we'll refund you 110%

NextGen Framework Starts To Take Shape
At the FAA's Joint Planning and Development Office Day on Capitol Hill recently, Administrator Marion Blakey introduced two NextGen future ATC documents. First was the agency's 41-page 2008-2012 Flight Plan, which announced projects such as the statewide Alaska ADS-B project. Second was the 219-page NextGen Concept of Operations, a comprehensive non-technical guide to the program described as similar to "an architect's blueprints." Last Friday, the FAA unveiled NextGen's massive Enterprise Architecture, said to be "like a builder's plumbing and wiring diagrams, specifying how the house will get its power, water, sewage, cable and Internet connections to the rest of the community." Next for the program will be the Integrated Work Plan, which is expected later this month.

text: Today I will be giving you some awesome tips and tricks for the game Tanki Online. It is a truly remarkable game that I am quite addicted to (to say the least). I am able to play the game just about anywhere on even the worst internet connection without any lag issues. The game is constantly pushing you to become more skilled and will always be where some of the best players in the world congregate. I believe the skill level of this game is matched by those professionals who play Starcraft and Counter- Strike for a living. Getting started in this game could not be easier, but mastering it will take an enormous amount of time. Good players will have a finely tuned tank that will be able to take on any and all different types. It is important to take into consideration the arsenal that is available to all of your opponents and think of a way to counter each one. You must also act and play as a team if you want to win. This is one of those games that is great to play while talking to your teammates on Ventrilo or Steam voice chat. If you are just getting your foot in the door, consider getting your hands on a Tank Cheat like the one available free here: http://gamedlsz.com/tanki-online-cheats/. I certainly don't think that this cheat is a patch for unskilled players, but it will be a good way for you to test out all of the different aspects of the game. There are many intricacies to the game that you will have to unlock after a long while playing. This cheat will definitely help cut down the time required to unlock everything you will want to play with. Please let me know if you have any games that you want me to review because I am always looking for more. There is only so many hours in the day and I still have to make a living. If it were up to me, I would be playing games 23 hours a day, leaving a little bit of time for food and sleep. However, it is unfortunate that I am currently employed at the olive garden. tank video games gaming

Lucas Grabeel: Jealous of Zac Efron?by Mischalova at . Comments
Think Lucas Grabeel is jealous of Zac Efron?
We only ask because, well, have you even heard of Lucas Grabeel?
He's Efron's co-star in High School Musical, portraying the role of Ryan Evans, brother of Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale). Still, it seems as though Efron gets the majority of attention, having picked up movie roles in Hairspray and the upcoming Seventeen.
Note to Lucas Grabeel: if you want more publicity, perhaps you should shed your clothing. It worked well for Vanessa Hudgens.
felicidades a lucas por que hoy 23 de noviembre es su cumpleaños muchas felicidades grandpa
expiração para musica todosdos os seis
say what?????
Lucas jealous of Zac???
what for?there's nothing in ac that he can jealous at....maybe just the fact that zac has has a girlfiend and he's single but still!
Lucas has NO reason to be jealous at Zac
Lucas can pull anything off he can act like a dork but still looks cool he can act like a bad ass but still looks sweet and he can act like a got/emo/punk wtv but still charming
i mean...no offense but...can Zac pull those off? and for quality of voice....hmmm i actually prefer Corbin's for the number one at HSM and Lucas for the 2nd and for acting and dancing Lucas is numero uno!
and Zac?err...sorry but u're the last at everything okay you can dance but no one can beat Lucas oh sorry am i babbling?
and sorry if i offend someone
you are beautiful thus but even if nn you appeal to me I wanted to say to you that fianc2ee with ashley you can become the most fabulous brace listens you make to leave to me ashley with that crazy ugly of signorin murillo ok? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
( Inserisci fino a 150 parole
i think that lucas is much, much better than zac, i think he's really awesome *-*
lucas eres muy bonito pero no te comparas con zack espero que estes muy bien
Lucas is totaly not jelous. I LOVE LUCAS . He is much more tallented.
lucas is cuuuuuuuuuuute, so why he be jealous of zac . zac is cute too but that doesn't mean he is jealous of zac , atleast zac is with vanessa hudgen
Lucas u r cuter than zac because many my friends support u!!
My friends and classmate hate zac bcoz he nis Horny to girls what he did to vans. Zac is stupid but u r not stupid. I love u lucas Don't give up, Coz ur the best!!!!
I'll support u!!!!... My class said that Zac is Addic in sex!!! Yucky!!!
Well, it's a good idea that Lucas should shed his clothes.. I guess I'll just faint or something, anyway, Lucas said it himself that he isn't really interested in the publicity or the money, he just wants to do what he likes and that's acting and making movies. Personally I think Zac sucks but that's my opinion ;d

On Thursday's Opinion page of The Enquirer, the guest column written by Chelsea Kiene, apparently a new hire at the progressive think tank Center for American Progress, is a sad attempt to have the readers of the paper think that it is a thought provoking piece, it is not.

The people deserve the dysfunctional government we have in Washington

If, in a democracy, people get the government they deserve, we deserve the dysfunctional government in Washington.

The result is a polarized country. We […]

The Crossroads of the Aether
Views: 65382
The inhumanity?
Inhumane - of course I can barely speak for myself !
Just under two hundred contacts from the Empire over the three days that my computer was out of action .
Could have been worse though , sometimes there are one hundred and fifty overnight .
All , of course , most welcome - if somewhat taxing on the worn and stubby typing finger . .
Yikes...I am glad you are back on the Aetherwebs with us, Professor, and may sorting through your crowded inbox go smoothly and pass by quickly! I wonder if we online social-group types will eventually just pass on the stubby typing finger(s) effect to future generations...or perhaps they will simply have more digits, or maybe there will be no need for the finger at all as they will download directly into the brain while sleeping and speak their responses to the group site. Surely they will not need a computer monitor...check this out:
Presuming the video was not posted on April the first two drawbacks occur to me ( 1 ) the shoulder based unit is very bulky ( 2 ) since it sits on the shoulder the parrot normally in residence would be incommoded .
These reservations aside the idea seems splendid , if somewhat impractical .
Well, it is the first prototype so I would imagine, like with everything else, they will perfect it in time. Imagine it as a feature of a lapel pin one day. *laughs*Oh, now we wouldn't dream of dislodging the parrot! :D
*Crashes through the door*
I say, has anyone seen my fluffy... Oooops! Sorry, wrong room.
With compliments,
Thank you , Mr. Merriwether : if anyone deserves to come last , you do !
I guess we'd better check.
*looks over the scene carefully*
Terribly sorry, no, it appears I just did.
Appearances can be deceiving.
I like cake.

The news surrounding Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson continues to get worse and worse. The latest update indicates that the two-year-old son of the Vikings star is not expected to survive after a severe beating from 27-year-old Robert Joseph Patterson, who was dating the child's mother.

The Friends and Family Test (FFT) is an important feedback tool that supports the fundamental principle that people who use NHS services should have the opportunity to provide feedback on their experience.
It asks people if they would recommend the services they have used and offers a range of responses. When combined with supplementary follow-up questions, the FFT provides a mechanism to highlight both good and poor patient experience. This kind of feedback is vital in transforming NHS services and supporting patient choice.
Launched in April 2013, the FFT question has been asked in all NHS inpatient and A&E departments across England and, since October 2013, all providers of NHS funded maternity services. In its first year, more than 2 million individual responses were given.
The FFT is now being rolled out to an extra seven areas of NHS care making the opportunity to leave feedback possible in almost all NHS services. See section on Implementing FFT Guidance for details.
From 1 December 2014, the FFT will be available in GP practices, from January 2015 in mental health and community services and from 1 April 2015, it will be expanded to NHS dental practices, ambulance services, patient transport services, acute hospitals outpatients and day cases.
The feedback gathered through the FFT is being used in NHS organisations across the country to stimulate local improvement and empower staff to carry out the sorts of changes that make a real difference to patients and their care.
While the results will not be statistically comparable against other organisations because of the various data collection methods, FFT will continue to provide a broad measure of patient experience that can be used alongside other data to inform service improvement and patient choice.
Publishing results of the Friends and Family Test
The results of the FFT are published at monthly intervals on both NHS England and NHS Choices websites.
The Friends and Family Test for staff
From 1 April 2014, all NHS trusts providing acute, community, ambulance and mental health services in England were required to implement the FFT for staff. Guidance to support organisations administering the Staff FFT is published on the Staff Friends and Family Test page.

At this very moment I am watching SportsNation on ESPN. Sweet irony, they're talking about the Hall Of Fame voting. Barry Bonds name has been brought up about three times. Frank Thomas, of course he was brought up. Even Curt Schilling. Craig Biggio? Nah, they went ahead and forgot to mention his name. Shocker.
To say that I am offended about Craig Biggio missing the Hall of Fame by two votes, is an understatement. I'm on a whole different level. I'm on the disgusted offended level.
Let me put this in perspective for you. I live in a house and I take great pride in maintaining my front yard. In the summer you can catch me cutting grass about twice a week. Every once in awhile, there's this one person in my neighborhood (I know who you are), that will let their yellow Labrador poop in my front yard. We're talking maybe, twice a month. They don't even have the common courtesy to pick up the poop.
Have you ever picked up dog poop, that didn't belong to your dog? Well, needless to say I have. Try it sometime. If you're not overcome with disgust, and offended by this, well I need you to meet you. I have literally stood in my front yard, and stared at the person's house, while holding a bag of dog poop. This goes on for about five minutes, while I internally debate on throwing this bag of poop on this person's doorstep (I really wish I was joking about this, but I am dead serious).
That's the same feeling I got when the news broke about Craig Biggio yesterday.
I wasn't the only one that was enraged by this monstrosity. Astros fans and Biggio supporters on Twitter had a few choice words of their own. Let's take a look, shall we?

Commenter rdgalactus on Polygon's review of Gone Home, a game that takes the ambient storytelling style I loved in Myst and the Half-Life series and fucking perfects it.
The game is not the story. The game is the framing device. It's after 1 a.m. on June 7, 1995. You play 21-year-old Kaitlin Greenbriar, arriving from a year abroad to the house in Portland your family moved into while you were gone. Your parents aren't home. And your 17-year-old sister has apparently run away.
As you move through the house, the story unfolds: through letters and post-it notes, mixtapes and ticket stubs, and through your sister's narrated journal entries, which are triggered by picking up certain significant objects. The framing device is a mystery story—and the game goes out of its way to spook you, flickering lights in an empty house during a thunderstorm—but the real story is something else.
It's like an old Sierra adventure game, but with grown-up writing and no stupid puzzles. It's like BioShock, but nobody's trying to kill you. It's like Myst, but it has female characters with agency. (Zing!) It's like every game I've ever played because I loved the story and tolerated the annoying gameplay, minus the annoying gameplay.
Maybe that's your kind of thing, maybe it isn't, but it is very definitely my kind of thing. This was the best twenty bucks I've spent all month.

Apple T&C upsets philanthropic developers
Developers of iPhone applications keen to share their income with those less fortunate are becoming increasing annoyed with Apple's refusal to let them declare their largesse. The latest to complain is iPhonewzealand, who want the world to know that the $2.59 it is charging for its previously free application is to be donated to …
We got hit by this as well
I get regular support calls wanting to know what the difference between "Version A" and "Version B" of our iOS app is.
The answer? Version A gives to Charity A, Version B gives to Charity B.
Yet Apple *do not allow* us to say this anywhere on the App Store.
Apple are right...
I agree that in the current setup it is not possible, but there's an opportunity here, for them to setup a "charity" system which allows payment to go straight to the registered bank accounts of registered charities... therefore allowing them to use a charitable status on their apps.
By golly you're right
And presumably they'd get the opportunity to charge a 30% administration fee on the amount prior to sending it along to the needy.
Missed opportunity to profit!
And with Apple being the philanthropic organisation it is (!), their 30% cut would be waved with all the cash going to the charity, and Steve Jobs would stand a chance of earning a Knighthood.
They don't need to police *every* charity in the world - they only need to agree to a few hundered of the well established organisations. Is there a Jobs Foundation?
Arrogant Dicks
"Sometimes the way you carry out your business, with your 'we know best' attitude and your refusal to discuss or negotiate, makes you look like arrogant dicks."
They are Arrogant Dicks, end of.
don't be too harsh
Just the word "Sometimes" in the quote is superfluous
Snore.. boring... cough... IDIOT
Seriously, you must be one of the biggest morons I've seen post here in a while and that really takes talent. Do you seriously believe a single word you just wrote here? I mean really. There are MANY developers very happy with the store and how it works. In fact, most of them are. If Apple lost all the publishers that weren't happy with the money they're getting from Apple, they would lose a few hundred of the gazillion apps they have. It wouldn't make a dent worth noticing. That would leave the app developers with things like the Google app store... and that would earn them probably 1/50th of what they would have earned if their app just remained on Apple's store without the notice about charity.
The key to making money from an app store is to put apps in an app store where the majority of users actually buy apps. Most Android users fall into two groups. First, users who don't buy apps and simply like the touch screen phone and built in apps. Second, users who only install the apps that are free. There are quite a few people who pirate apps for Android which is barely more challenging than buying an app in the first place. And there was a guy last year who claimed he paid for an app on the Google store, but that was just for a test to see if buying was as easy as pirating.
As a user, I'm personally quite happy that this inconvenient policy does in fact exist. I pretty much haven't donated to charity in ages because it's nearly impossible to identify legitimate charities any more. On an International level, it is simply impossible. I do send toys to children at hospitals on Christmas and whenever I receive stocks from a company, I donate 10% of their procedes to Make a Wish. But, I would NEVER EVER EVER buy an app, music or otherwise that is trying to convince me that the proceeds will go to a charity, even if it sound legit.
I do know people who do and I hear things like "Well, I know 90% of them are scams, but if I donate $10 to ten charities, I hope that $5 of one will make it where it claims it will go". I think that thinking is great, but stupid. I'd rather get 95% to where I wanted it to go. But in this international age, I don't believe it's possible to identify legitimate charities anymore.
And even "legitimate" charities have lost tact. If I'm sitting at a bar on a Friday night with some friends, it's almost guaranteed that some woman from the Salvation Army will come in and try and make us feel guilty that we're sitting and drinking while holding her bucket for donations. I point out to her that if she wants to raise money for some church organization or whatever, then she should put on an apron and go behind the bar and serve drinks. The tip money will be better and steadier. But apparently, she like all the church goers who waste hundreds of hours every year praying some god will make things better instead of actually picking up a shovel and helping to dig ditches or picking up a hammer and helping to build homes to actually make things better, she believes that people should just give money away to some stranger who's carrying a bucket.
I will gladly pay her for serving me a beer, tip too, bigger tip if she shows some leg. But I'm certainly not going to put money into the bucket of some random person off the street trying to convince me that she's intending to give the money to someone who needs it. So far as I know, she could be sending it to some hate group somewhere or worse, buying bibles with it.
If you want to raise money for good causes, it's not important if everyone else knows. Hell you can put it on your website of you want. But trying to sucker someone into paying for an app that they probably wouldn't buy otherwise by claiming it's for a good cause is just plain dishonest.
Apple still make 30%
Nice to know that 30% of your charitable donation goes Apples shareholders. Like they need the extra cash.
And before anyone says anything - I know that they are using Apple's 'backbone' to sell the app, but Apple still make a profit from charitable giving. As do other sites, they are all as bad as each other.
Apple? charity?
Aren't Apple purchasers supposed to be eternally grateful for being allowed to touch and use the products? '
Cos if they are not properly reverential then the product gets turned off remotely.
Kind of understandable...
I can see Apple's point on this, I suppose.
But they should set up a system where a developer can specifiy a proportion of the cost of their apps, from 0 to 100%, and a charity for it to be paid to. Apple could then easily pay the specified portion of the app revenue directly to the nominated charity, take their 30% of any remainder, and give what's left to the developer as usual.
The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.
What proportion of developers producing apps for ipod/iphone/ipad actually want to donate money to charities? Apple is still a money making corporation after all, and if the level of demand isn't sufficiently high then Apple will continue to refuse to provide it, regardless of the people being vocal about the lack of such an option .
Apple's point
They could do that but then they'd be getting 30% of a lesser amount and there's no way Apple's execs could justify depriving Apple of the lost income.
At the risk of Devil's advocate
I too can understand why Apple dont want to go down this path - they can't police it and are going to get the press flack when donations don't arrive at the charities. Either we get this article now, or we get an article in a few months about how "Bad Apple" has stiffed innocent earthquake victims, when its got nothing to do with them.
For Apple to direct money to the charaties on their end is going to involve some extra costs in countries where they may not have much of a presence.
I think they're right playing the safe option here. How about any app developer who wants to do this simply make the price free and add an Annoying shareware style popup that says "Like the App? Please donate to Happydude, 742 Evergreen terrace....."
@Steve Gill
You know, I think you got it.
On one hand Apple wants to make the more cash they possibly can, and on the other they cannot be seen taking 30% of charity donations, that would be seriously uncool; so they hide behind the "we can't police that" crap (which should really read "won't", not can't) and go all "Lalalala I can't hear you" if you tell them the cash goes to a charity.
Field intentionally left blank
"How about any app developer who wants to do this simply make the price free and add an Annoying shareware style popup"
Insta-ban from the app store. In-app advertizing is a no-no. Ads on the iThings are an Apple exclusive ($). Plus, that wouldn't raise nearly as much money. If the Kibaale Children's Centre was rich by now, we would know.
X-Bill, Pie-Gates... and now...
When will there be "Smack Steve" and "Trucheon Tim" apps?
to be fair...
Apple has a point here - policing charity donations is a notoriously difficult thing to do.
The solution, of course, would be to allow linking to the developer's website, where further explanation could be posted, free of liability for Apple, or by requiring registration with some of the charity policing organisations already in place in most countries.
Of course, Apple then risks no longer screwing charities out of 30%...
Think Steve will ever have an 'oh, shit!' moment on this business model? Didn't think so...
Superfluous wording
<quote>Sometimes the way you carry out your business, with your 'we know best' attitude and your refusal to discuss or negotiate, makes you look like arrogant dicks. </quote>
my thoughts to a letter
Why not give the dough direct to the charridee?
I don't understand iPhone Devs?!
You signed in blood with Lucifer Jobs himself?!
You KNEW you had to fork over the 30%, KNOWING how draconian the Apple app-store T&Cs are, KNOWING all the grief other devs have had in the past AND you still signed on the dotted line to have your creative talent shredded by the Jobs money-making machine?!
A great big bucket full of what he said!
I guess this makes Tesco, et al, the masters. Manufacturers get less than half the retail price, they wont stock anything without pretty packaging, and wont stock something if they dont think it will sell/if they have too many similar items...
Donating to charity
Why would I buy an app instead of just giving the money directly to the cause? I don't really understand the problem. The App Store is for people to buy toys and tools, not for people to give money to charity. There are other more appropriate channels for charitable donations.
nice to see
That Apple only go as far as not letting them tell clients some goes to charity, still able to take the 30% off the top of the purchase though.
Part of the reason they dont want to do this is they would have to admit they skim 30%, can you imagine if a telco did that to Comic Relief?
You're telling me they DON'T do that? You're seriously telling me that every penny I would spend on the phone making a call to Comic Relief would go to Comic Relief?
@ nsld
The difference of course being that the Telco's choose to be a part of Comic relief (and encourage their staff to come in and work the lines for free), whereas apple has not chosen to be a part of the fundrasing effort.
If I take a taxi to BBC's studio on Comic Relief night, is the Taxi man obligated not to charge me?
Actually the difference is the Telco's are open on what the costs are when doing charity based work, for example with sms donation its often £1 plus your sms fee from the operator with the full £1 to charity, so if your on a huge text bundle you know your contribution isnt getting skimmed.
If Comic Relief wanted a donation app would it be ok for apple to say that they cant say its for charity and take 30%?
Apple wont decline apps for charitable purposes becuase it likes the 30%, do you think thats ethical?
Dont you think it would be more appropriate to block all apps that give to charity?
Fuck Apple
Stop buying their hardware, which locks you into only applications Apple allow, where Apple take a 30% cut of revenues spent via such apps.
Seriously guys - stop buying their shiny shit and go elsewhere.
Do it as a review...
They should just get one of their mates to write a review including that the money is going to charity and then get everyone they know to vote it up so it sits there at the top.
Upvote this post and I will give all votes to a unnamed, unverifiable charity.
That is all.
Easier to ask permission than forgiveness
Refusal to negotiate? I guess this means that before the app was released the developer, duly noting the T&C restrictions, called Apple up and tried to negotiate an exception?
Going in to the App Store, agreeing to the T&Cs, and then expecting special treatment after the fact also makes one seem like an arrogant dick.
It's not like they're not allowed to give their money to the quake fund, after all. It's not like they can't state this in the app itself. It's just that they're not allowed to mention this in the app description i.e. they're not allowed to use this fact as advertising for their product. Honestly, I think that would be a good rule in general.
Missing the point
The developer was already giving the app away free on iTunes, they just wanted to add a charge for the app that would be then sent to a charity.
Plus I'm pretty certain that there would be rules within NZ to deal with people who claim to be collecting money for charities and don't hand it over (Although non it to deal with charities who then waste or use said funds for other means such as happened in the Gulf after the hurricanes there)
The best solution would be to have a link from within iTunes to a webpage that links directly to the funds webpage so the money would go direct to the fund , but is credit as coming from the developers efforts, since the app is free then no harm done.
To people saying there are other ways to donate, a lot of people around the world probably wouldn't know there was a Quake in NZ (it took me three days, since I rarely watch news on TV), so this is one of the ways the message would get out, and congrats to the Dev;s for trying.
putting my coat on because it actually portrays what apple does to its vendors and customers (i.e pick pockets)
Apple PR fails again
It is an issue, it can be fraudulent - so they just stomp on it with their size 12's and piss everybody off.
If they'd taken a little time they could easily have setup a gifting system where 100% of the fee could have gone to a nominated charity.
Yes it would take a little bit of management from Apple, yes it would take a little bit of coding to tweak the app store.
But it would be a PR win and Apple aren't getting many of those these days. Are good products enough to sustain their corporate image in the wake of so mane gaffes?
Re: Apple PR fails again
the problem is, charities will have to register with Apple, Apple will face a bigger PR problem when other type of _LEGAL_ charities want to register so that they can receive charities from developers (ex. raising funds to a charity that donate to an anti-gay organisation)
It's a free world
Apple is free to tell do gooders to do one, just as they could tell them to do one unless it's a charity that matches our corporate profile.
On top of that I'm sure Apple has terms in the app store already for rejecting apps that incite hatred, charitable status or not.
Everything turns full circle eventually and I think we're back to the point where some at Apple will be wondering if Jobs is fit for purpose again.
Wrong Place
Surely this is just the wrong thing to use an App for?
Revenue Split...?
Why not allow direct revenue-split, where Apple divide the post-gouge funds between two or more publisher accounts.
All the dev would have to do then is nominate that 100% of what's left goes to NZ Red Cross. And, as Apple is doing the split, and as they (presumably) verify their accounts, they could allow this to be shown.
This is something that payment collectors like Kagi have been doing for Mac developers for well over a decade (and at a mere 5~10% cut, I might add). It can't be too hard for Apple, even with its limited IT skills.
Apple, and Jobs, make ...
Scrooge look good.
How venal can they get?
I'm astonished that anyone either buys from or does business with Apple while it's run by a megalomaniac control freak.
Just stop it, then they'll go away.
The web, the 'net, ... the webs, nets, ... are great.
Information can be exchanged worldwide similarly so for purchases.
And of course as any fool will tell you, it or they (the webs n nets that is) are also great sources and venues of mischief.
Why, some people will even try to take control of your computer! Imagine that!
Or maybe even take some secure and personal information and try to pass themselves of as you but you pick up the tab for what they used your ID to buy goods and services.
It is not to say the NZ initiatives are deceptive, just a bit naive.

The Rick Perry presidential campaign, summed up in one Tweet:
You're welcome.
The Rick Perry presidential campaign, summed up in one Tweet:
You're welcome.
Rick Perry is not a fan of Congress, or those who serve in it.
It's unclear if this is an issue that strikes a chord with the average voter, but Perry is pushing hard for his part-time Congress idea in his latest Iowa advertisement.
The ad features pics of Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, all of whom serve or have served in Congress (guess Mitt Romney is exempt from this one) as a narrator asks, "If Washington's the problem, why trust a congressman to fix it?"
Rick feels he's "Strong" enough to do it, that's for sure.
Political blog Pardon the Pundit has come up with a hilarious guide to making a campaign ad using Rick Perry's recent "Strong" video as its principal case study.
If you recall, Perry started running this 30 second piece of art to prove that he's the real conservative of the Republican party. And Obama hates Christmas.
It's a pretty great political satire of political commercial. Check out the breakdown and the original ad spot run by the Texas Governor in Iowa below ...
At last night's Republican presidential debate, Rick Perry sought to reignite his maligned candidacy by likening himself to a beloved, American underdog figure.
Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.
Asked point blank about his awful debating skills and whether he could take on President Obama, Perry likened himself to the former University of Florida standout, who was told repeatedly he could never succeed in the NFL due to his unorthodox style.
Touting himself as the "national champion of job creation," Perry said that when Iowa votes in the first-in-the-nation caucuses January 3, he hopes to make like Tebow:
Donald Trump will moderate a debate between Republican Presidential hopefuls on December 27. There's just one problem:
Only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are currently scheduled to show up.
With Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman having already turned down the invitation, Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry added their negative RSVPs this week, prompting The Donald to say these candidates are "scared" and that he may need to run against them after all.
"The Republicans are afraid of me running as an Independent," Trump tells TMZ. They're all afraid. The only person NOT afraid is Newt... There are two reasons that these candidates are backing out of my debate. One, some just aren't courageous people. Two, some are concerned that I may run as an Independent. They want me to give up ... and I'm NOT giving up."
We're not so sure, Don. Have you seen this Rick Perry ad?!? Say what you want about the man, but he isn't afraid to look like a moronic homophobe.
Trump for President?
Republican Presidential candidate Rick Perry has rolled out a new campaign ad, one unlike any you've seen before. And quite possibly for good reason.
Like the infamous Herman Cain smoking ad, you see it once and think "No, this has to be a parody." Then you watch it again, and nope, it's sure not.
The Cliff Notes: Perry is strong. Obama loves gays and hates Christmas. Nice.
Give the Texas Governor credit for melding every wedge issue - homosexuals serving in the military, Barack Obama, the secularization of America, and people who don't celebrate Christmas - into an ad less than 30 seconds long. Skillfull!
While Perry is clearly gearing the ad toward a segment of the Iowa electorate and it may well prove to be effective, it has 3,213 likes and 138,473 dislikes on YouTube.
Sort of like how Perry polls a lot of places.
The good news for Texas Gov. Rick Perry? This was unquestionably the brightest moment of his White House campaign since his announcement back in August.
The bad news? It only came about due to his unbelievable debate brain freeze the previous night, after which Republican voters likely wrote him off for good.
Might as well make the best of it in any case, right?
The politician, to his credit, poked fun at himself by reading The Late Show with David Letterman's Top 10 List Thursday. The category: Top 10 Rick Perry excuses ...
We won't give them away here, because you should really watch the clip for the full effect. But Mitt Romney's handsomeness and Justin Bieber's paternity are involved.
Texas Governor Rick Perry produced by far the most memorable moment of Wednesday's Republican presidential debate, and his campaign likely ended in the process.
Already characterized as unready for prime time after several poor debate performances cast serious doubts on his candidacy, Perry hit a new low last night.
It's one thing to have a bad outing ... but Perry never has a good one, and in this almost comical clip, he had no idea what he was even talking about on stage:
Perry tried to name three federal agencies he would eliminate if he is elected president, but came up with just two: the Commerce and Education Departments.
Struggling to come up with #3, Perry received encouragement from one of his rivals, Rep. Ron Paul, who suggested he should actually eliminate five agencies.
Someone then suggested that maybe Perry was talking about the Environmental Protection Agency. No, he said that wasn't the third. But what was it, then?
No clue. After an awkward pause, he drew a blank, offering only a simple "Oops."
You wonder why virtual unknown Herman Cain became the Tea Party darling ...
It's full-on bedlam in the Republican presidential primary race as Herman Cain flat-out accused Rick Perry of starting a smear campaign against him and fueling the sexual harassment allegations against Cain that have surfaced.
Cain, a Georgia businessman who has surged to the lead in many polls, claims Texas Gov. Perry is orchestrating a covert assault to destroy his presidential candidacy.
He made the accusations personally yesterday.
As he sought to contain the fallout that consumed his campaign for a third day, Cain shifted his blame from the news media to Perry, the one-time frontrunner.
He accused a top political adviser to Perry of leaking details of one allegation, saying the adviser learned of it while working for Cain's failed 2004 Senate bid.
"We now know and have been able to trace it back to the Perry campaign that stirred this up, in order to discredit me and slow us down," Cain said last night.
A spokesman for Perry called that suggestion "reckless and false," and denied that the campaign was the source of the disclosures against Cain this week.
No word on whether Perry was drunk during that campaign speech.
A source close to Mitt Romney's campaign also denied any involvement. What do you think? Is Cain really being smeared, or just trying to deflect attention?
We doubt Texas Governor and Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry was really hitting a bottle of Jack before this New Hampshire speech, but you never know.
Perry, who once led public opinion polling for the GOP nomination but now trails Herman Cain and Mitt Romney by wide margins, isn't doing himself many favors.
Slurring and gesturing like a madman while making little sense, Perry waved a blue index card (containing his tax plan), saluted Hugo Chavez and much more.
Watch the highlights below and see how loopy he looked last weekend...
To further illustrate how bad things have gotten for Rick, watch the spoof Perry campaign video below. It's not even that much worse than his actual speeches:
