Apple sends out invitations to October 23 iPad mini event
Apple has begun sending out invitations to select members of the media for their upcoming October 23 special event, widely considered to be focused on the iPad and Macs. Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has the details:
Apple on Tuesday announced a special event to be held on October 23, 2012 in San Jose. The event is scheduled to take place at 10:00 am PT.
The invitations read "We've got a little more to show you". Nice. In addition to the iPad mini, and perhaps an updated iPad 3 with Lightning cable and international LTE, we should also be seeing the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro as well as new iMacs and Mac minis. We should also see the final version of iTunes 11, and perhaps a bump to iOS 6 to support the new devices.
Less than a week away.

Apple sends out invitations to October 23 iPad mini event
Color splash is to signify the original iPad's event invitations from 2010 that had a white Apple logo with color splash that read "Come see our latest creation." This one is zoomed in, has color splash, and reads "We've got a little more to show you." Also, I would assume little plays into smaller iPad.
Macrumors reveals that the ipad mini display is leaked in 4:3 ratio, according to a iphone parts supplier, www.etradesupply.com 's blog. 8-inch display, do you believe?
Yeah that would be the same aspect ratio as the regular iPad in a 7.85" form factor, so it makes perfect sense.
How to choose between this ( a no brainer) and Nexus 7. Hmm, I will stick to no brainer. Others can try it out before deciding.
iPad mini? iPad Air? In a concerted effort to read too much into the event invitation (and, specifically, its focus on the top part of the Apple logo), may I suggest "iPad Leaf"?
I'm sticking with iPad as the name. Macbook's come in different sizes denoted by 13 inch, 15 inch, etc. I doubt iPad Mini will be the name, it even sounds inferior to me. Guess we'll find out in less than a week!
I'm guessing it will be called the iPad Nano.
Where did that handy comparative graphic come from? Looks official. Suddenly my iPad feels heavy.
PS My bet's on iPad Mini. Simple, obvious, easy to say and we already have a Mac Mini, so iPad Mini will keep things symmetrical.
But we already have a smaller iPod, the Nano. Mini refers to the desktop line. It would not make sense to call it the mini.
"nano" makes no sense because it denotes something really tiny and not just small. There will be several iOS devices that are smaller than an "iPad nano" so it makes little sense to call it that.
Similarly, "iPad Air" would refer to a device that's the same as a regular iPad, but has as it's main feature being incredibly light and thin. The iPad mini doesn't fit in there either. It is lighter and thinner than the original, but not by a huge amount, especially after the iPad 3 is retooled. As the devices get smaller over time, it's likely also that the smaller bodied mini will actually end up thicker than the regular iPad.
It's main feature will be it's smaller (but not that much smaller), size and price. Ergo and therefore it will be "iPad mini." Bet on it.
There is a smaller iPod than the iPod nano....
There may be another surprise in store
Really though? If you're gonna be bold enough to call yourself the "trend setter" of tablet devices then you have to actually be better than the competition. You can't simply say you are, you HAVE to be a superior product. Apple always says this, so the followers expect it to be. When they're bested by products released prior to their own items, its easy to understand why people would get upset and post about what they did not get.
They created the modern tablet market. They're the whole reason the "competitors" can even exist in this space. And I say competitors because Apple still holds 68% of the tablet market. And how exactly is the third gen iPad not the best or at least one of the best? Have you seen its screen? and its speed? and its battery life?
So to all the haters or non Apple users out there, who don't know if they really want it, gizmotakeout will have this for 30 $ or so.
They wrote
"We've got a LITTLE more to show you"
funny but not really.
Did Apple say it was an "iPad mini event"? I see nothing in the event announcement indicating that. It would be really funny if there is no iPad mini. I'd be angry if I purchased an iPad 3 only for Apple to turn around and update it with a "lightning dock port" in the same year. Who's going to run out and buy an iPad 3 just because it has a "lightning" port that doesn't have an adapter bundled with it?
You completely contradict yourself... you'd "be angry if you purchased an iPad 3 for Apple to turn around and update with a Lightning port in the same year." yet you turn around and say "Who's going to run out and buy an iPad 3 just because it has a "lightning" port that doesn't have an adapter bundled with it?"
I think you're missing the point. The point isn't to be introducing a new iPad. It's to tweak the current generation iPad to help with the Lightning transition. Apple is not going to market as the fourth gen iPad. It's just a slightly tweaked iPad 3rd gen.

London has Buckingham Palace, Paris has Versailles. The highlight in Berlin is … Friedrichstadt-Palast. And it isn't filled with dusty memories of the nobility, but is instead the home of Europe's show palace. On the largest theatre stage in the world, the hottest (and biggest) show in the capital is celebrated: More than 100 of the best soloists, dancers, musicians and artists make a trip to Friedrichstadt-Palast an absolute must-see for every Berlin resident and visitor. It's no coincidence that with 700,000 visitors annually, it is by far Berlin's No. 1 stage.
Berlin's most spectacular stage is centrally located on Friedrichstraße in the East End Theatre District. Friedrichstadt-Palast is the last large historic landmark building from the GDR. Its history dates back to 1919 when theatre genius Max Reinhardt opened the Great Theatre. In the 1920s with revues by Erik Charell, the theatre set the pace for the Roaring Twenties. Legendary Marlene Dietrich and later American divas like Shirley Bassey and Liza Minnelli stood on stage here. Because the old building had structural problems, the revue theatre was rebuilt at Friedrichstraße 107 and inaugurated in April 1984 with spectacular revues, variety theatre and cabaret. Up to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Friedrichstadt-Palast was in fact the theatre to go to in the East Bloc.
After the fall of the Wall, 'the Palace' established itself as the first address in reunified Germany for extravagant and spectacular show entertainment and has been one of Berlin's hottest major attractions ever since. To this day, it offers technical marvels and abounds with superlatives of all types and world records. Friedrichstadt-Palast lights up Berlin-Mitte and is also where major galas and events take place, including the Berlinale and the German Film Awards. Familiar faces have always passed through the theatre's door, ranging from politicians including Michail Gorbatschow, George Bush Sr., Helmut Kohl and Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, to Hollywood stars such as Colin Firth, Leonardo Di Caprio, Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway.
If you would like to experience something extraordinary in Berlin, something that is unique in the world and visually stunning, then Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin's "East End" is your first choice.
THE WYLD – Out of this world
THE WYLD is populated with flamboyant mavericks, city slickers and intergalactic metamorphoses – ultra-modern and archaic, bizarre and futuristic. On the biggest theatre stage in the world, Berlin's glittering new celestial phenomenon combines exceptional figures and talents in extraordinary images. As weird and wonderful as the city where it is set. With more than 100 artists and a production budget of more than ten million euros, the highest in the Palast's 95-year history, THE WYLD is the most elaborate show outside of Las Vegas. Mugler, the revolutionary Parisian star designer, has been brought on board for this extraordinary production. He is well-known worldwide for his fashion and perfume label 'Thierry Mugler' and the perfumes 'Angel' and 'Alien'.
Get your best space suit out of the wardrobe and fly with us through this truly cosmic love story. Ethereally beautiful and out of this world.
Children shows
Especially younger pupils, kids, and adolescents are enthused by the children shows of Friedrichstadt-Palast's Young Ensemble. Each year, more than 1.000 children apply to become a member of the Young Ensemble, which, with its more than 250 kids and young people from more than 20 nations, is Europe's largest youth ensemble.
During three months of the year, the Young Ensemble regularly performs in front of capacity crowds in impressive show 'Something Quite Different'. And be assured: the show will also knock the kids out of their chair.

Apple now selling iPhone 4 handsets made in Brazil
It looks like Apple has started selling iPhone 4 units from Foxconn's new Brazilian manufacturing plant, which has been up and running since late 2011. According to photos released by Portuguese news site Meio Bit, the iPhone 4 handsets in question appear to be the lower-end 8GB models, with stamps indicating they may only be just a few weeks old.
Gizmodo Brazil previously took a few photos showing Foxconn's Brazil's production. In addition to producing the iPhone 4 in Brazil, Foxconn plans to build 5 more production facilities in the surrounding areas to help with growing demand for the iPad among consumers.
Since Brazil also imposes very high duties on iPhones and iPads imported from China, it's conceivable that switching to local production could eventually eliminate those fees and bring iPhone and iPad pricing more in line with other regions, making the devices more accessible to Brazilian markets. No such price reductions are evident yet, however, so there may be other factors involved that require additional time to sort out.

Apple now selling iPhone 4 handsets made in Brazil
That annoying blue blob is still there. Does it not happen on the iPhone 4s?
Nope. It says "Designed by Apple in California. Industria Brasileira"
gay faggot
Is spite of the tax breaks given by the Brazilian governemt to Foxconn, regretably the iPhones made in Brazil have exactly the same price as the ones made in China.
This is a political sham played by the government, which promised to bring the factories so prices, some of the highest in the world, could be lower. Now the official line is that it is Apple´s fault, since it decides the final prices of its products. Just for comparison, the unlocked iPhone 4 which sells for US$549 in the US, sells for the equivalent of US$1000 in Brazil.
Does anyone besides me think that expanding manufacturing outside of China with the ability to sell at the same cost may be a warning to the Chinese government/courts (those being the same thing), that the Proview litigation had better be decided in Apple's favor or it might cost China a lot more than it will cost Apple?
This factory is so new it does not even appear on Google Maps. StreetView of "Av. Caminho de Goias" shows a dirt road with nothing, but the same view from Anhanguera road shows the factory still under construction.
This proves that Foxconn can build a factory and start producing iPhones in a little over a year, as I said before, contrary to the common belief that this can only be done in China because of the supply chain. If it can be done in Brazil, it can be done just as easily in the US as well.

|Anna Pereksta, seated in center with a bite missing from her watermelon.
We are deep into a record setting winter in the United States. Time for a taste of summer.
My grandmother, Anna Pereksta, spent several months in Saranac Lake (NY) recovering from influenza. Her care there was paid for by Endicott Johnson, her employer. Most of the patients were being treated for tuberculosis, but she always said she had had the flu.
Whatever the disease, those months recovering were a cherished time in a life that was far more work than play.

Power Nozzles
Power nozzles are vacuum cleaner attachments that are used to clean the nooks of the room where the hose and wands cannot reach. It is also useful to remove the dirt and debris from upholstery and furniture. This is one the accessories that come along with all models and brands of vacuum cleaners. A few of the leading brands of vacuums include Eureka, Hoover, Rainbow, Bissell, Dirt Devil and many more.
How to remove the power-nozzle in Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner
If you want to replace the belt of this brand of vacuum or clean the brush or store the vacuum, the power nozzle has to be removed. Let's see how to take apart the power-nozzle.
• Press down the tab where the wand is attached to the plastic suction pipe. Gently pull the metal pipe away from this handle.
• Now press the tab to remove the power nozzle footplate and pull the wand free. So now you have three parts removed – the wand, suction pipe and wand.
• Using a flat-head screwdriver, flip the footplate over so the base points up. Remove the plastic plate from the underside of the footplate and keep it aside.
• Open the belt cover to gain access to the belt and brush. Lift the brush out of the footplate and unhook the belt from the brush and axle. Now you can clean the brush, replace the belt or simply store the power-nozzle.
You can get the replacements for all brands of vacuum cleaners from GoVacuum.com. This is a place where you can different types of vacuum cleaners available at reasonable prices.

|Home > FAQs > Cookbook > HTML form buttons HOWTO
This HOWTO will describe the usage of HTML form buttons to invoke different behavior in actions.
The method attribute of the submit tag can be used to implement buttons that submit to different methods.
These boolean Properties can be tested to determine which button was pressed:
Note: Do not use String properties with buttons and test for the value that's set. This will break as soon as the value attribute of the HTML button changes! This is likely because the value attribute is used as the button text.
Consider a web page showing a shopping cart or similiar tabular data. Often there is a button belonging to each row, in case of the shopping cart a delete button to remove the item from the cart. The number of buttons is dynamic and the id that couples the button to an item cannot go to the value attribute because all buttons should read "delete".
The solution is to name the buttons like delete[123], delete[594], delete[494] where 123, 594 and 494 are, for example, item ids.
When the button for the item with the property id == "27" is pressed, a parameter named delete[27] and value "delete" is set in your action. The trick is to declare your action's "delete" property as a
java.util.Map. Then, a key will exist for the button that was pressed.
In this case it would not be necessary to iterate the whole keySet because it contains only one key but the same code can be use to handle sets of checkboxes if this is prefered later:
The two implementations can even be combined two provide a quick "delete this item" button and a set of checkboxes for "mass updates". All with the above code, cool eh?

New Balance Invitational Results
NEW YORK, NY - In a light week of action for the Cal State Northridge track & field squads, a pair of Matadors set indoor lifetime-bests at the New Balance Collegiate Invitatioal at Armory Track in New York.
Three Northridge women competed and junior Sherrina Lofton competed in both the 60 and 200 meters. Lofton ran 7.55 to finish fourth in her heat of the 60 meter prelims and did not qualify for the final. She also ran a lifetime-best 24.60 in the 200 meters but did not reach the event final. Shelese Ruffin ran a lifetime-best 55.34 in the 400 meters but did not qualify for the final. Ruffin shattered her previous indoor best which was 24.62. Desirae Gonder competed in the high jump and posted a season-best height of 5-10 (1.78) to finish tied for second.
On the men's side, senior Rolando Felizola jumped a lifetime-best 50-4 (15.34) in the triple jump to finish seventh in his section. Felizola's previous best was 50-0 (15.24).

Treatment of Diverticulitis
Not all cases of diverticulitis require surgery.
Diverticula are small, pouch-like structures that develop along the digestive tract.
People with diverticula are typically diagnosed as having a condition called diverticulosis, which is usually painless and causes no symptoms.
However, if diverticula become inflamed or infected, a doctor may diagnose you with diverticulitis.
Unlike diverticulosis, which usually needs no treatment, diverticulitis symptoms usually require medical attention.
The kind of treatment you receive for diverticulitis will depend on whether your case is simple or complicated. Simple diverticulitis accounts for about 75 percent of all diverticulitis cases and can usually be treated without surgery.
Complicated diverticulitis accounts for some 25 percent of cases and usually requires surgery.
Home Treatment of Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis occurs when diverticula become inflamed or infected.
If you are generally in good health and the inflammation or infection you are experiencing is not severe, your doctor will likely proceed with these non-surgical, at-home treatments:
- Antibiotics: commonly used, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as metronidazole (Flagyl), sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (Bactrim, Septra), Ciprofloxacin (Cipro), or amoxicillin and clavulanate (Augmentin)
- Over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever, like acetaminophen (Tylenol); stronger pain medicine is not recommended as it can increase pressure in the colon
- A clear liquid diet (e.g., water, broth, and plain gelatin)
With these treatments, symptoms of diverticulitis usually clear up within 48 to 72 hours. Your doctor will likely schedule several follow-up visits to assess your condition.
If you experience increasing pain, fever or an inability to tolerate fluids, you may need to be hospitalized, as these symptoms may indicate that complications from diverticulitis have developed.
Your doctor may also recommend hospitalization to treat diverticulitis if you have the following characteristics or symptoms:
- You are over the age of 85
- You are unable to take oral fluids
- You have other existing health conditions
- The inflammation or infection you are experiencing is particularly severe
The Diverticulitis Diet
Once your symptoms have improved, your doctor may recommend the gradual reintroduction of solid foods into your diet. Most diverticulitis patients are told to follow a high-fiber diet.
Fiber, which is present in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, serves an important role in digestion by softening stool and helping it flow more smoothly through the colon.
A lack of fiber can cause constipation, which makes stools harder and more difficult to pass, putting stress on the colon that may lead to inflammation or infection of diverticula and subsequent bouts of diverticulitis.
The recommended amount of dietary fiber is usually 20 to 35 grams per day. Cereals, grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts are all good sources of dietary fiber.
Though food is the best source of fiber, if dietary restrictions prevent you from consuming all the fiber you need at meals, your doctor may recommend fiber supplements.
Some doctors may also recommend other supplements, such as glutamine (an amino acid that aids digestion), fish oil (high in omega-3 fatty acids), flaxseed, or probiotics (which help to maintain intestinal health).
You should always consult with your doctor before adding a new supplement to your diet, particularly if you have diverticulitis or other health conditions.
Diverticulitis Surgery
Most people with diverticulitis respond well to non-surgical treatments.
However, about 15 to 30 percent of diverticulitis patients may require surgery, either because they are not responding to treatments or because their condition is complicated by other issues.
Your doctor may also recommend surgery if you have experienced several flare-ups of diverticulitis. Only seven to 35 percent of patients experience recurrent episodes of diverticulitis, according the American Academy of Family Physicians, but those that do may stop responding to antibiotic treatments, which can lead to complications.
Surgery that removes the affected part of your digestive tract can prevent these complications from arising.
Your doctor may ask you to consider elective surgery if you meet the following criteria:
- You have had two or more acute attacks of diverticulitis that were successfully treated without surgery.
- You have had a single attack of diverticulitis requiring hospitalization, and you are less than 40 years old.
- You have had one attack of diverticulitis that resulted in complications such as an abscess, peritonitis, intestinal obstruction or inflammation of the urinary tract.
- It's possible that cancer may also be present in your colon.
If you and your doctor decide that surgery is the best course of action, the following procedures may be considered:
- Bowel resection/colectomy: Your surgeon will remove the affected part of your colon and then reconnect the remaining portions of your intestine. In a few cases, the entire colon is removed, a procedure known as a total colectomy.
- Percutaneous catheter: An interventional radiologist will use a percutaneous (through the skin) catheter to drain infected and abscessed diverticula. This procedure doesn't involve the removal of any part of your intestines.
- Colostomy: This procedure often accompanies a bowel resection or colectomy. If your intestines are severely inflamed, reconnecting the remaining portions of the bowel after removing the affected portion may not be possible right away. If this is the case, your surgeon will create an opening in your abdominal wall (called a colostomy) and connect the intestine to this opening. A removable bag is then attached to the outside of the hole to collect stool until a resection surgery can be performed. In some cases, resection is not possible because a large portion of the intestine is removed. In these cases, the colostomy is permanent.
Traditionally, surgeons performed bowel resections and colectomies by making one long, vertical incision in a patient's abdomen.
However, surgeons now also perform what is known as a laparoscopic surgery, in which several small incisions are made in the abdomen, usually near the belly button. Instruments and a viewing tube called a laparoscope are then inserted into the abdomen to facilitate the surgery.
Recent studies have shown that laparoscopic surgery may result in better short- and long-term outcomes for patients than traditional open surgery. Recovery times and hospital stays for this procedure may be shorter, allowing patients to return to daily activities sooner after surgery.
However, like any surgical procedure, laparoscopic colectomies and bowel resections are not without risks, and you should speak with your doctor about both the benefits and risks of these procedures before you decide on a course of action.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Burning Question: Who Is Baelfire, Rumplestiltskin's Son?
Warning: This article contains BIG spoilers for OUAT Season 2, Episode 14: "Manhattan."
UPDATE 2/17: In Season 2, Episode 14: "Manhattan" we learn the truth: Baelfire is Neal, Henry's (Jared Gilmore) father.
Original article below.
If it wasn't obvious in Once Upon a Time Season 1, Season 2 has made it blatantly clear that Rumplestiltskin's (Robert Carlyle) main goal in life is finding his son, Baelfire, who was sucked through a portal into a "land without magic" while attempting to convince Rumple to come with him (because he wanted Rumple to go somewhere where he would no longer be cursed to be the Dark One).
We fully expect Baelfire to show up soon, since Rumple is now going to find him, and he will probably be a major character. What we also suspect is that, as we explain below, he won't just be Bae. Our guess is that he'll plays another part of the story, too.
But who else might he be? There are a couple of common theories that we like.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
He's just Baelfire: Given OUAT's penitent for combining characters (example: Rumplestiltskin is also the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and the crocodile from Peter Pan; Red [Meghan Ory] is also the Big Bad Wolf), we tend to lean towards the assumption that Bae will end up filling another role as well. But that's not necessarily the case. It's possible that he's just plain Bae. After all, between his complicated relationship to Rumple and the fact that he was a child from Fairytale Land thrust into our world by himself, Bae is plenty interesting already.
He's Henry's dad, Neal. In Season 2, Episode 6: "Tallahassee" we met Henry's (Jared Gilmore) father, Neal Cassady. He was presented as a regular human, but some suspect he's actually from another land. Could he be Bae? It's a popular theory. It would certainly make the tangled web of alliances centered around Henry even more complicated if Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin is his grandfather, so it seems very plausible on a storytelling level. Plus, we know Neal does come back soon, which makes the timing work out nicely.
Peter Pan: Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) is a major character now, which leads everyone to wonder: When will Peter Pan show up? Bae being Peter makes some sense, too. After all, he was sent to our world many, many years ago, since Rumple appears to have hung out in Fairytale Land for a long time before finally getting Regina (Lana Parrilla) to cast the curse. However, in Season 1 Rumple thought August (Eion Bailey) was Bae, which means he's expecting Bae to be pretty young — about the age he'd be if the curse transported everyone to Storybrooke at the same time Bae came to our world. We assume that means Rumple created the curse to take him to a time when Bae was still young.
It's very possible that timelines don't match up exactly between the worlds. However, it's also possible that Bae, after finding himself stuck in alone in a world without magic, somehow found his way to Neverland — in Peter Pan, it is possible to travel between our world and Neverland. Then he could have hung out there for years without aging (perhaps waiting for his father, perhaps just wanting to stay in a world with magic), before coming back to our world and maybe getting stuck after the curse. Or maybe the curse even pulled up back to our world.
It would certainly be ironic and interesting if Hook's biggest nemesis in Neverland turned out to be the son of his biggest nemesis in Fairytale Land. On the other hand, we aren't supposed to meet Peter Pan this season, which makes this theory less likely.
He's the writer of Henry's fairy tale book: We still don't know who wrote the book of fairy tales that caused Henry to learn the truth, and that is supposed to be something we learn this season. It could theoretically be Bae — though we should remember that he had already left Fairytale Land before many of the events in the book happened. However, if news of what happened in Fairytale Land somehow reached him and he heard Rumple was still alive, perhaps he wrote the book in an attempt to help his father. Someone who knew the details could have helped him... (We do think this is a less likely theory.)
Or maybe Bae's more than one of these theories combined, or someone else entirely! Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Slider cases for iPhone 4 pulled from Apple Stores due to "Glassgate"?
According to Cult of Mac, Apple's retail stores are no longer selling slider cases for the iPhone 4 because of what's been referred to as "Glassgate" - the scratching and cracking of the iPhone 4's glass due to trapped dirt. Even cases that are part of Apple's "made for iPhone" program are reportedly being pulled.
Glassgate may or not be real, but it looks like Apple is trying to find out. A source in the case industry has confirmed that Apple is suspending the sale of all slider cases and testing them one by one in a secret facility.
Apple is investigating whether the constant action of sliding cases on and off the glass-backed iPhone can cause scratches and eventually cracks, said the source. The iPhone 4′s back is not made from the same toughened Corning Gorilla Glass used on the front. The Glassgate issue is not affected by snap-on cases, our source said.
This is huge for slider case makers - a huge hit to their bottom line, that is. Even though making the cases is cheap, makers must invest $250,000 for the molds. Many companies have ordered big production runs in anticipation of selling them at Apple Stores, but now they're left with a bunch of cases and nowhere to sell them. For example, Mophie is rumored to have ordered over 100,000 Juice Pack Airs for iPhone 4.
Not all case makers are buying into the hype. CEO of Hard Candy Cases, Tim Hickman, is not convinced that Glassgate is a real problem, but a perception problem. (Hard Candy Cases are not sold in Apple stores, so this ban does not affect his sales).
I've shipped 22,000 units and not heard a single complaint. If there was a problem, we would have heard about it by now. I'm very suspect that there's a real issue there.
It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds. Will Apple determine that Glassgate is real and permanently ban the sale of slider cases from their stores?
Have you experienced Glassgate to be a real problem? Or do you have a slider case that is working perfectly with your iPhone 4? If you're a slider-case user, are you discontinuing the use of that case until Apple reaches a verdict?

Slider cases for iPhone 4 pulled from Apple Stores due to "Glassgate"?
Is there a real story here or just someone hyping the month-old 'Glassgate' story that lacked credibility and had no traction in the industry. Before all the blogs start hyping this tale yet again, doesn't it seem just the slightest bit odd that not one manufacturer in the world has confirmed that their cases were actually pulled from the Apple retail stores? Did anyone ever see this type of cases in the Apple retail stores?
Consider this: the stores never stocked the cases. 'Glassgate' is nothing more than a baseless story for certain parties to grow/reestablish their online presences.
Yes, all slider cases have been pulled. Walk into an Apple store and you will not find a single slider case for the iPhone 4. There aren't any available online either.
yes, i have scratched my phone with a case. no this is not a real problem. my 3gs got tons of scratches from cases, but it didn't matter as much because of the plastic. the only scratches come from putting on the case with dirt in it. if you look before you do it, it won't be a problem. if a case fits well, then it wont get dirt hard or large enough to scratch in it while on. if the case does not fit well, you shouldn't have it on your phone to begin with.
I had a piece of sand scratch my original iPhone from 2007 launch. I could see this could cause an issue. my 3G and 3GS got scratches from the slider case but it didn't matter too much the back was white
Do we know for certain that its this mythical glassgate thats causing the cases to go away, or is it Apple wanting to sell their own products rather than someone elses? Seriously, these blogs go a long way to create a story but I know this much to be true:
Apple made a product with glass on it. Glass can scratch. Its not apples fault if you scratch it or break it. If you drop a glass beer mug on a cement floor do you have the moronic attitude that they owe you a better glass? Treat glass like glass, or buy a POS plastic phone if you can't handle nice things. I personally would prefer Apple sell less devices of higher quality than become the every day Ford of cell phones.
Here is more news for you... if you take a knife and stab yourself with it, you may bleed! Oh, and its not the fault of the knife manufacturer either.
P.S. if you build a product and a 3rd party product can break it... why on earth would you sell that 3rd party product. Don't change yours just so some company can sell an add-on.. make them step up their game.
You don't really need a case on these phones anyway... and while I do have the Apple bumper and like it I'd never cover up the iPhone 4 with most the crap cases that are out there.
Well, since slider cases are the ONLY cases that have disappeared from the Apple stores, it's safe to say that Apple is not "wanting to sell their own products rather than someone elses".
I tried the agent 18 clear slider and the first day I got a hairline scratch and promptly put a back film protector and swore off the slider for the ip4. just wasn't worth it. switched to one piece cases like speck's see-thru and candyshell. slider's won't play nice with screenshields AND back films anyway.
these slider case manufacturers should have given more thought on their cases to work with screenshields and back protectors knowing that the iPhone 4's made of glass so of course they'll want to protect their investment.
@mikeed8986 You are absolutely correct! I was wondering why they didn't make space for a shield. They knew the thing was made of glass. But that is what rushing to market gets ya.
I will never go without a skin on my device. I buy them frequently and replace them I always have one on reserve as well just in case something happens and Apple needs to replace my device so I have one to put on right away. If you have an 1P4 you must have a skin of some sort.
@LisaLisa: Why MUST we have a skin of some sort? A phone can't take bumps or bruises to show what it's made of? Yes it's somewhat fragile, but it can still take a punch or two.
@Borntovape: Yes, my antenna has suffered physically more than expected with a bumper on it too. It does NOT
inhibit in any way
Testing in a secret facility? Jeez, this could be tested in an office anywhere! No need for a secret bunker.
Not just sliders, all tight fitting hard cases that are direct plastic on glass. My iPhone 4 now has a small chip on the back glass from a piece of dirt or something getting stuck in my otterbox defender. It had been under the felt part.
I recommend getting a candy shell or somthing similar that has a soft material in contact with your phone.
my best suggestion is to only use cases that will fit with a screen shield AND back film protector on it. there are many cases out there that fit in this category of which i have personally tests including but not limited to speck candyshells and see-thru's, griffin flex grips, and apple bumpers (or most bumper styles in that case).
one piece designs have worked best in my experience.
if you decide not to use a screenshield or back protector, please don't use any tight fitting cases and complain about it later when a piece of particulate has sneaked in and cause a scratch or a chip. loose fitting pouches would work best for those situations.
i'm not an expert nor am i implying i am. just running off of experience from experimenting with many different case combinations over the years from the very first iphone 2g all the way up to the ip4.
i personally use a front and back film protector, a speck candyshell or see-thru (depending on my mood of the day), and to top it off i use a bodyglove universal pouch to minimize any dust or particulate's that should try to sneak in while in my pocket. hope this helps anyone trying to find the perfect protection.
before using the body glove universal pouch for extra protection, i found myself having to remove my case every day or every other day to wipe off any particulate and dust that had gotten between the cracks.
after i started using the pouch, i found myself only having to do clean-up once a month. it definitely helps and it's not limited to body glove pouches. any loose fitting pouch will do that will fit the iphone 4 with a case on it. i swear by them and will never put my iphone 4 in my pocket without a pouch. even if it has a case on it.
I don't use a case because I like the way the phone looks and feels without it. I don't really care about scratches or anything as long as it works great. I'm pretty careful anyways. And if it did break, I would just buy another. I've been lucky enough for my iPhones not to break and I've been selling generation after generation to cover the cost of the new one an am able to keep up with technology at no cost to me other than my time. :) and leave Leanna alone. This is absolutely big news.
Yup this is true. I was at my local apple store just last week and noticed that slider cases can't be found. I have an incase slider case and haven't had any problems with my iPhone 4.
Besides all the factors talked about above, it is also helpful to have an XML sitemap sent over to search engines via their webmaster equipment account. By this I possess seen which pages begin to get indexed quicker.

Why Buy Shaklee Products?09 Sep 2014
If you have been thinking about buying Shaklee products, but want some more info before pulling the trigger you are in the right place.
We think Shaklee is the best natural nutrition company in the United States, and in this short article we will explain why.
There are actually quite a few reasons why we think Shaklee's health and wellness products are worth the money. Here are a few:
- Always Green – Shaklee is one of the most environmentally friendly companies on the planet. In fact, they were the 1st ever Climate Neutral Certified company in the world, and still hold that title. Therefore, when you buy their products you can count on 100% all natural products for your body and home.
- Always Safe – No company tests their products more rigorously than Shaklee. Shaklee puts every single ingredient in every single product through the ringer, and it never reaches distribution unless it meets the strict standards Shaklee holds.
- Always Works – Shaklee products always work. Whether it is their super concentrated cleaning products, the power packed Vitalizer strip, or anything in between these products do their job every time. And just to make the buyers feel all warm and fuzzy, they do offer and stand by their 100% NO BS money back guarantee.
These are some of the main reason we think Shaklee is well worth the time and money. In life, whether it is a steak dinner or vitamins, you get what you pay for. Yes, Shaklee has some products that cost some money, but gambling with your health is not something I suggest doing.

Income tax knowledge is beneficial no matter who you are or what you do. In fact, most people pay a third or more of their income in taxes each year. Wouldn't it be nice to know something about it?
