Iran is one of the most misunderstood countries in the world. From the Islamic Revolution in 1979, through to the Iran-Iraq war between 1980-1988 and the dubbing of Iran as a member of the "Axis of Evil" by US President George W Bush in 2002, people in the West have never really had the opportunity to know what Iran is really about. There might be a lot of geopolitical tensions between Iran and the United States, and a lot of accusations being thrown around by both parties, but in recent years, access to Iran has become easier than it has been in a long time. The doors to this ancient country are opening slowly and when the opportunity arose to visit in May this year, Lauren and I didn't hesitate to say yes.
There is a lot of information about Iran out there, however most of it is either false or out of date. As a visitor to Iran, there are several things that you want to know before you arrive. There's a lot to discuss, and over the coming months we will be putting a lot of Iran related content up on The City Lane. We loved our time in Iran and want to show you the country through our eyes, dispelling many myths and misconceptions along the way.
In our first Iran article, we want to share with you our top 10 tips you should know before visiting Iran.
Getting A Visa
As with any country, the visa requirements for entry into Iran differ depending on the passport that you hold. If you are from Australia, New Zealand, Germany, The Netherlands, France, or Japan, things are really easy – you can either apply for a 20 day tourist visa from the Iranian embassy in your country or you can get a visa on arrival. That's right, Aussies and Kiwis can rock up to any airport in Iran without a visa and get one then and there.
If you are a citizen of the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom, the visa on arrival option isn't available to you. The only way you'll be able to get a tourist visa is by taking part in an "official" tour of Iran. I could go into more detail on the specifics of visa requirements for visiting Iran but there's no need as my friend and fellow travel writer Nate has covered this in a rather extensive article over on Yomadic, which you can read here.
If you find that you're having too much of a good time in Iran and that you'd like to spend more time in the country, you can easily get your tourist visa extended at an immigration office in one of Iran's major cities. By all accounts the immigration office in Shiraz is one of the best for this.
Also a word of advice to Australians, the Iranian embassy in Canberra do not like to answer their phones or respond to e-mails. Just make sure that you fill in the paperwork correctly and you'll be fine. When we received our visas the embassy actually spelled Lauren's surname incorrectly. We tried to contact the Iranian embassy several times (87 times in fact) but this was to no avail. In any case, we arrived in Iran and the mistake on the visa was a non-issue – Lauren got into Iran no with problems.
The currency used in Iran is the Iranian Rial. It's a currency whose exchange rate can vary wildly and what I write today could be completely inaccurate in a few weeks time. When we travelled in May 2015, the official exchange rate was USD$ 1 -> IRR 29,234. The thing is, you never pay attention to the real exchange rate. Most currency exchanges we visited, including one at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport, were offering a rate closer to USD$1 -> IRR 33,000, which was significantly better than the "official" rate.
There are 2 places where you can get your money changed in Iran. The first are currency exchanges just like any other country while the second are black market currency dealers – you'll see these guys on the sidewalk with briefcases full of cash open and a hive of activity around them. They aren't dodgy as such but they aren't technically official either. Our advice is to shop around and get a rate that you feel comfortable with. You'll get an idea very early on as to what a "good" rate is and you should use this as a ballpark guide for the rest of your trip.
On the topic of currency, things can get confusing because of the exchange rate (it takes a while to get used to the fact that USD$35 makes you a millionaire) and because there are 2 measures of money used. Although there is only one kind of note, the Rial, prices are sometimes expressed in Rial and other times in Toman. 10 Rial = 1 Toman. This does cause some confusion – the best we can say is to use your judgment. If a price seems too good to be true, that's probably because it is. When in doubt, the safe bet is to assume that the price is listed in Rial – if you hand over what you think you're meant to be paying in Rial you'll soon be corrected, and at that time you can choose whether or not you want to continue with the transaction.
There are banks, automatic teller machines, and credit card facilities everywhere in Iran but unfortunately these can't be accessed by foreigners due to US sanctions. As a foreigner you'll need to bring cash, and the best currency to bring with you is US Dollars or Euro. How much cash do you need? Well as a guide, not including accommodation, you shouldn't need to budget any more than USD $35 per person, per day at the aforementioned exchange rate. That's right, Iran is a very cheap country to visit. We didn't hold back on what we spent while there for 2 weeks and we returned home with more than half of the money that we'd brought over.
Dress Code
Most of the information that you find on the Internet about the dress code in Iran is quite vague, and often incorrect. The reason for this is that the rules keep on changing. Currently, things are better than they have been in the past. For men, the dress code is simple – jeans or trousers and any kind of top. I was in jeans and either a t-shirt or collared shirt for the entire trip. The main thing that's important for men is that the legs are covered – no shorts guys. Footwear can be whatever you like – open shoes such as sandals are perfectly acceptable.
For women, things get a bit more complicated. As a general rule, relatively loose fitting tops that cover your arms and come down to your mid thigh or knees is what's required. Trousers are essential. Your hair must be covered with a headscarf, however your face is allowed to be fully exposed – the burka is not commonly seen in Iran, and it's usually a headscarf or hijab that you see, along with the chador in more conservative areas.
In the big cities like Tehran, Shiraz and Isfahan, you see women pushing the limits of what's allowed in the country. Don't be fooled by what the western media tells you – Iranian women are strong willed and independent and like to push boundaries. You'll see women wearing the mantou – a sort of fitted coat, bright shoes and head scarves that only cover the back half of the head. Look around to see what the local women are wearing and dress accordingly. We'd read a lot about the "fashion police" in Iran, who patrol the streets looking to scold women who don't dress conservatively enough however during our 15 days in the country, we only encountered these police on one occasion. In a very conservative rural town in the middle of dessert we were waiting outside of a mosque and the women in our group were instructed that they needed to pull up their head scarves so that all of their hair was covered. Just like any other country in the world, things get more conservative as you leave the bigger cities.
There's no argument here – the Internet in Iran is pretty terrible. In the major cities things aren't too bad when they are working, and sometimes you can get a connection that's about the same speed as an ADSL1 connection. Unfortunately, these connections aren't stable and you can expect dropouts several times during your browsing session. Outside of the major cities things get even worse and you'll be longing for the day when you can get a full 10 minutes on the Internet at a decent speed which can happen, but is a rare occurrence.
The poor Internet in Iran is exasperated when you use a VPN. There are several sites that are banned in Iran, the most obvious for Westerners being Twitter and Facebook (Instagram is allowed). If you want to access these services while in the country you'll need a VPN. It's no secret that Iranians do access these services and it's not unusual for locals to give you their Facebook details so you can connect with them. It's one of those situations where the government officially bans the services but turns a blind eye to the fact that they are being used. I won't give advice on which specific VPNs you can use for obvious reasons however when you get to Iran finding out this information will not be an issue – just be prepared for the fact that things will be slow.
The rule when it comes to alcohol in Iran is simple. It's illegal, it's banned, don't think about it. Officially recognised non-Muslim minorities are allowed to produce alcoholic beverages for their own consumption and for religious rites (for example Armenians and Assyrians) and interestingly statistics show that alcohol consumption in Iran is the third highest in Middle Eastern, Muslim dominated countries behind Turkey and Lebanon. Make of this what you will but our advise is to neither drink nor seek out drink- it's really not worth the risk.
What you will see in every drinks fridge in cafes and restaurants across the country are non-alcoholic malt beverages. Popular brands include Istak, Delstar, Hey Day and Shams. The original flavours are pretty bad tasting however the fruit flavoured options, such as lemon, peach and tropical are actually quite tasty, although they have more in common with soda rather than beer. The bottles/cans and labels certainly look like beer, but beer this is not.
Despite what the mainstream Western media tells you, Iran is not a dangerous place full of terrorists who want to kill you. The famous 12th century Sufi poet Sanai once said "Know him as a gift from thy lord, when a guest suddenly shows at your door", and this attitude permeates the Iranian mindset. Iranians are friendly, really friendly, as in the friendliest people we've met on our extensive travels. They want to know about you, why you decided to visit Iran, what you think of the country and how you're doing. They are genuinely nice people and love to chat to visitors about anything and everything. Tourists are rare in Iran for a variety of reasons and when Iranians see a visitor, they want to make sure that that visitor feels welcome.
Walking through the streets of Iran's cities, we were surprised at just how safe we felt. Money changers sit on the sidewalks, openly displaying cases and boxes full of cash, there are people everywhere going about their lives and it's not uncommon to see families out enjoying themselves and picnicking (a favourite pass time of Iranians) late into the night, every night. We felt safer in Iran than we have in most other countries that we've visited.
Iranians will offer you gifts out of the goodness of their hearts and expect nothing in return however you might be surprised at the extent and value of the gift that they offer you, which leads to the next point…
Taarof is a Persian form of civility that encompasses a variety of social behaviours. Where visitors will encounter taarof is when at the shops or talking with a local about an object that they admire. Essentially a person (offeree) is obliged to offer anything another might want, and the person receiving the offer (offeror) is equally obliged to refuse it. This goes back and forth several times (generally 3) before the offeror and offeree finally determine whether the offer and refusal were real or simply polite. It's confusing and you kind of just have to roll with it.
We encountered taarof several times during our stay in Iran but one example really illustrates it nicely. On our first day in Tehran we were waiting outside of our hotel when we spotted a really nice vintage car. One of our friends was admiring the car when a hotel employee walked out and indicated to us that it was his car. He asked our friend if he wanted to sit inside the car and take a look, which he did. When it was obvious that our friend really liked the car, the employee offered him the car. He handed over the keys and said "take it, it's yours". In this situation, taarof was clearly at play.
The "Religious Thing"
Iran might be an Islamic republic but one thing that was surprising even to us is that it didn't feel like an overly religious place. Sure there's the strict dress code, the ban on alcohol and photos of the 2 Ayatollahs all over the place but when it comes down to people actually living their lives, everything seems quite normal. Iranians follow the rules that are set down of course, but walking down the street you don't feel like anything is being shoved in your face and beyond the obvious things, it's all very subtle and the street scenes that you see could be that of any other place in the world.
Quite simply, in the major cities in particular, Iran just doesn't feel super religious. It's clear that the majority of Iranians live with the restrictions placed on them because they have to, not because they want to. Yes it's simplifying the matter but as a visitor to Iran, you'll be surprised.
Persians Aren't Arabs
Persians have a long and proud culture, which dates back thousands of years. Persians are proud of their culture and who they are and its important to note that Persian culture is distinct from Arab culture. On several occasions we were told that one of the biggest insults that you can throw at a Persian is to call them an Arab. It's the misrepresentation of Persian culture that is offensive – for example Iranians were highly offended by the false depiction of ancient Persians as barbarians in the movie 300, as ancient Persian was in fact a highly civilised and advanced culture.
Numbers & Letters
Although you see European numbers in some places, by far the most common numeral system used in Iran is the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. Knowing the symbols for numbers 0-9 is essential. Thankfully they are really easy to learn.
Shops often only use Farsi in their signs, which can make pinpointing a specific place difficult however navigation is made easier by the fact that most street signs are bilingual, and contain street names that use both Farsi and Roman letters. This gives visitors a shot at being able to read maps and find their way around. When it comes to menus at restaurants and cafes, you've got about a 50/50 chance of getting an English menu. Thankfully, the super friendly Iranians will do all they can to make sure you can order something that you want.

Hi Im Negin from Iran.
How can i contact with you. I have some questions. And will be happy if you answer me please?
I'm wondering if anyone has visited Iran since the lifting of the sanctions imposed on the country by the US etc? Has the availability of money from banks and ATM's changed yet? I really hope that this Mr Trump doesn't mess up relations with Iran. I have a feeling that this beautiful country is going to become more powerful regionally and internationally in the days to come.
I am female in my seventies and am planning a week in Iran in January. The articles and advice on this site have been very informative. Before I make final payments does anyone have any concerns about a female travelling alone
Dear Heather , Im from Iran. I can tell you Iran is safe even for travel alone. And without any taarof, I can help you 🙂
actually. 4 weeks ago 2 0f my friends from Brasil were here and we had a trip together. Maybe we can do it again.
I read your article it's really helpful
from Iran isfahan
I read this article and I wondered how realistic it was .. Hope things get better and easier for tourists to come and see how great Iranian ppl are .. Thanks Paul…
Any tips on how to book a flight within Iran from abroad? Also, should I do that or go there and try last minute on arrival at some local agencies?
Going to Iran this November, super excited!!
here you can find all possible flights:
and for trains:
and there are a lot of Bus-Connection between all of the cities.
My name is shole. I'm a persian girl and i live in tehran.
Your tips are still usefull at 2016
If you decided to come to Iran again, i offer to visit these citys, too.
North-west of our country like Tabriz , Urumia and Ardebil are always cold! If you like moutain climbing, cold weather, oak jungles or springs you will have a great time there!
North citys like Sari, Gorgan and Rasht are rainy and have humid, beautifull jungles, pleasant sun in most mounth, and they are close to Caspian sea.
Estern citys like Yazd and Semnan has beatiful deserts, awsome skys at nights and historical places.
South like Bushehr and Bandar-Abbas is warm and hot most of the times. In this aria (close to Persian Gulf) we have lots of beatiful groves and deliciouse seafoods!
In west citys like Shahre-Kurd and Hamedan weather is always cool. If you visited Hamedan, you should visit Alisadr cave! This area also has waterfalls you shouldn't miss!
Citys like Shiraz, Isfahan and Tehran is known enough about their beauties!
I really hope you enjoy your time in Iran and don't judge us from out side.
Sorry my English isn't good enough.
hope you get some self-confidence and also better knowledge about the geography, however it's not still like most Americans who didn't know at all where Iraq is; but still…
1. Yazd and Semnan aren't located in the east!
2. Why didn't you mention Mashhad? The 2nd largest city in Iran which is a significant and ID for the culture of Persia and specially Persian language and traditional music and so on! umm, let me guess! perhaps you didn't mention it, as this city has a holy-shrine which is a religious place. I'm a non-believer, but I would never feel ashamed because of something religious in a land. As religions are drugs for the majorities.
I live in Europe, and all of my European friends always indicate how beautiful this city is, and they would go there as soon as they could have a trip in Iran, and even seeing that holy-shrine.
You might belong to this new wave in Iran which is gonna be a non-believer or being christian. Don't try to ignore the history and the culture of such an old n remarkable land, as you only waste your credit and dignity.
Hey Paul! Thanks for the article man 🙂 I have one week in Iran, what cities would you pick to visit? also how do you manage your accommodation/hotel booking from abroad? Cheers man 🙂
Hi Martin,
I live in Melbourne and I am Iranian. Let me know what kind of scenery or trip you are interested in and I am happy to help you !
Hi Negar
Must be heating up in Melbourne now! I'm from Brisbane so, hello from the North! Planning on heading to Iran in December for about three weeks, just wondering what you might suggest? Very interested in, flea markets, food, just walking around seeing how people live. Keen to see history, but not for the whole time.
All the best
Hi Paul,
I have a friend in Iran that I just knew via gmail. She is quite kind and amazing. She always tells me fascinating things about that country, however it gives me chills about the article I just read with regards to those terrorist that are residing in this country. I love my friend and I would really like to give a try in visiting Iran. Though, I'm afraid that I might met those terrorist. Please advise.
Kent M.
What terrorists? Iran has a very, very low rate of terrorism, much lower than many European countries now! ISIS and Al Qaeda have no presence in Iran. In the rare event of terrorism happening in Iran, it's usually politically motivated. It's also usually in the Balochistan region, which you don't need to visit anyway.
my name is karen vakili im from iran everything you mentioned is completely true and i wanted to add that iranian hate those two ayatollah and all of them in government but unfortunately in dictatorship peoples opinion isnt important.
at last i have a question that is really important to me.
what is your opinion about our language and litreture??
and when sb speaks parsi how does it sound is it good or its disturbing i mean the sound of the language the way people speaks parsi and pronounce it
its about my research, these questions i mean
Fascinating stuff Paul. What an amazing trip.
I visited Iran in April. Best trip ever! All of the above is true. We went with a group of 12, all but 3 of whom had lived in Iran in the 60s and 70s. It was so nice to go back after so many years. Our tour guide was one of strong-willed women you mentioned. She was amazing! I could go on and on for hours about all the wonderful people we met (some of whom are now Facebook friends!) and the places we saw. Book a tour and go!
Wow sounds like quite the adventure – esp the 87 calls to the embassy! Would love to visit one day! Some great tips here.

Dodgers LGBT Night To Feature Matt Bomer, Noah Gavin, Dot Marie Jones

Chechnya's Ramzan Kadyrov Vows To Eliminate Gay Men From Region By Start Of Ramadan
The National Organization for Marriage
(NOM) on Tuesday criticized First Lady Michelle Obama for including
NBA free-agent Jason Collins among her State of the Union guests.
Collins, 35, came out gay in April in a
cover story for Sports Illustrated, making him the U.S.'s
first openly gay professional athlete.
In a post titled A Quick Guessing
Game, NOM suggested 7 athletes worthy of the honor, including NFL
player Eli Manning and NFL free-agent Tim Tebow.
"No, instead of any of these, the
President has chosen to bestow such honor and admiration on Jason
Collins – and presumably solely for his coming out last year as
the first openly gay player in the NBA," NOM wrote.
"For what it's worth, in today's
gay-affirming culture – where being gay or lesbian is celebrated
constantly in the entertainment world and highlighted seemingly daily
in the news – we don't think that 'coming out' is particularly
"We assume that Jason Collins has
done some fine things as a person to better society and help those in
need. We'd be more interested in learning of those efforts than in
having his sexuality shoved at us by the man that Newsweek
dubbed 'the first gay President.'"
at Equality Matters, Luke Brinker noted: "NOM's homophobic
tirade against Collins' attendance is merely the latest sign that
despite the organizations insistences, the marriage debate is far
from its sole focus. NOM has made perfectly clear that it takes
issue with gay people themselves, not merely their right to marry,
having denounced homosexuality as 'evil'
and 'a sin.'"

Pedestrians and cyclists would both benefit from less traffic and slower vehicle speeds. This has led many to assume that the two groups are identical and can be lumped together in "shared use" facilities.
Your correspondence clearly reveals that the interests of pedestrians and cyclists are not identical. Bicycles do not belong on pavements. They are vehicles and should be catered for as such, either on roads that have been made safe or on tracks segregated from pedestrians. It is drivers, not pedestrians, whose space and convenience should be reduced to create the safe conditions for cyclists we urgently need.

Crow Indians Megan, Toby, and Hans
Megan, Toby, and Hans
Introduction "Twang, Twang". The arrow from the Crow Indian's bowstring flew across the sky headed for a buffalo. The golden sun sparkled against the gleaming shields as the Indians slowly trudged through long grass, hunting buffalo one by one on top their galloping horses. The Crow Indians who lived on the Great Plains of Montana, Wyoming and parts of Colorado, were skilled hunters and survived well on animals of the prairie and other natural resources. A warrior's shield had a symbol that showed what a good deed he had done in the past. The Indians tied their arrow heads and feathers to the arrow with sinew.
Weapons The Crow tribe was very talented when it came to weapons and tools. The Crow hunted with strong bows and arrows, war clubs, spears, and hide shields. Warriors used shields for protecting from gun shots in war with the "White-Men". The Crows took their bows and covered them with rattle snake skin for decoration. The Crow had more horses than any other tribe! Their strong horses galloped like lightning through the golden, glittering, grassland while the rider approached the buffalo. They always came up to the buffalo on the right side so the Indian could shoot on the left. The Indians had very strong bows and arrows that were made from strong branches. Skilled warriors could ride beside a buffalo lightning speed and still be able to take down the beast. Toby #28
Food The Crow tribe had a big appetite when it came to food, especially meat. All this tribe had to eat was buffalo, antelope, and other animal meat. But buffalo especially, were a big help on the dusty plains. For example, they made buffalo blood into pudding by pounding dried buffalo meat with fat and wild cherries. But they didn't just have buffalo meat with other ingredients. They also ate it broiled, boiled, or raw! The rump, tongue, liver, heart, kidneys, and even the brains all were considered delicacies to the Crow. A good hunt meant food for everyone in the clan. To prepare for the winter, women dried and smoked buffalo meat called jerky in case of emergency. Men especially, would eat like hogs after a hunt that took them weeks. They could stay calm until the next hunt and not eat for a few months! Buffalo were the Indians biggest source of food living on the prairie. Toby #28 Women dried up leftover buffalo meat called jerky.
Where they Live, Habitat
The Crow Indians lived in many different places and never stopped moving because they were searching for buffalo. The Crows moved through Montana to New Mexico hunting for buffalo, elk, deer, etc. They were one of the first Indian tribes to live in Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana. Crows historically lived in Yellowstone River Valley. They lived in tipis that could fold into travois in minutes. Tipis were made of buffalo hides. The tipi was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The women owned the tipis and all the house goods inside it. The travois carried their supplies around when they were moving for buffalo. This tribe is still alive and is living in Montana. The tipi could be folded and put up in a few minutes. The Crow moved because of the buffalo because the buffalo were everything to them. Toby #28
Relationships, Trading
The Crow would trade at trading posts. Crow Indians would trade with necklaces and bracelets. The Crow had a good relationship with the white men, but not always the same with other Indian tribes. Tom Le Forge lived with the Crows and he was a white man, but the Crow did not care. They encountered the European descent La Vérendrye brothers. The Crows depended on the buffalo for their food, cloths, and shelter so they could trade to get other important items from traders and trappers. including blankets hats and food. They had to sell half their land to the settlers and didn't see a single penny out of it. Since they couldn't hunt the buffalo, the Crow became very hungry. A man said that if they were hungry they should eat grass ,and this made the Crow nation angry. The Indians fought in a war against the white men, killing and holding them hostage in camps. The Crow surrendered and decided that a boy named Little Wolf was right. War was wrong and the Crows were never seen roaming the plains again. Some still had done dreadful attacks and dangerous deeds to the Americans so the Americans wanted thirty eight Crows to be put to death. Abraham Lincoln only said thirty should be murdered so they were hanged on the biggest hangman's noose ever. Hans #24
Traditions, Entertainment
Honoring Nature and Traditions, Entertainment The Crow Indians had many traditions that kept their clan active and helped them enjoy themselves. Medical bundles kept them connected to nature because they did not want to be cursed by the spirits so this helped them stay close. They also held parties for the buffalo and other animals. They brought the clan together just to celebrate. Sometimes they had competitions including dancing, drumming, and singing. Hoop games where played by the Crow children to entertain them. The Crow celebrated by having celebrations similar to carnivals. To entertain at these carnivals they would have events like powwows, rodeos, and dancing. In their tribal region, buffalo were not considered sacred, but spirits of the earth. The Crow Indians would have ceremony's. The Crows would have ceremony's and to entertain they had powwows. Hans #24
Interesting Facts The Crow have many other interesting facts. They would not have facial or body hair and if they did, they would pluck it off. The men would have tattoos on themselves while the women would wear a tattoo on their forehead. Their hair was long, in some cases reaching or dragging the ground, and often some parts were styled into a pompadour. The people were nomadic meaning they didn't stay in one place for long because the buffalo moved. Pine Leaf was a women and chief of the Crow Tribe for a while. Women and men would wear a tattoo or tattoos. The crow would have eagle dances to celebrate the eagle Hans #24 Indians all had different jobs.
Clothing The Crows use buffalo for many purposes, specifically clothing and accessories. Women made deer skin dresses and they were the one to wear them. Men wore breeches with their leggings and buckskin shirts. Men and women wore moccasins on their feet, shoes that the Indian's made out of buffalo hide. On special days warriors would wear feathers to fight. Also they make war bonnets out of feathers obviously to fight. Each feather would mean the great deed the warrior has done. Women made dresses for their daughter's and them out of buffalo hides. The Indians didn't have fancy foot wear like we did they made moccasin out of buffalo skin. Megan #22
Legends Every Indian tribe had their legends including the Crow. There were lots of traditional Crow fairy tales and legends to begin with. Legends were very important to the Crows Indian's nature. One of them depicts an old man. He explains how in the beginning of time the world was just water. An old man dumped mud and roots into the water and blew three times to create land. Skulls were painted and also considered sacred. Megan #22 White buffalo were really rare they were considered sacred.
Conclusion Interestingly, the Crow Indians truly used all of nature to survive and live honoring nature for what it granted them. Since the Crow culture used nature's resources for their survival. Did they impact hunting today? Did they teach white-men skills on hunting? Why did they approach the buffalo on the right and shoot to the left? The Crow's interesting lifestyle living well on the plains indicates there may be other tribes that contributed to the development of Colorado. The Crow Indians worked together to set up their camp and prepare for the big buffalo hunts. Indian tribes always had more than one chief.

Redmond copycat & Vista 2.0
Apple is pulling Microsoft's leg with these banners placed at the Moscone hall at WWDC '06.
Mac OS X Leopard
Introducing Vista 2.0
Redmond has a cat, too. A copycat.
Highest Rated
Redmond, Washington is Microsoft's headquarters. And yes, Apple is pissed.
And.. What Redmond means? is it a person or what Ivan?
By the way I love You Ivan..
Hey Ivan. You know we all love Mac here. And yes, Windows, especially the upcoming version Vista, does feature a lot of OSX. On the other hand I have to say that I have both systems at home and actually they copy from each other. And why not? If something works well, why not use it for your own purposes? I just call it evolution ;-)
I quite liked it...Funny too....I am sure microsoft also gonna put back a fight too...!!
One small thing guys: All of Apple's OS upgrades have had cat names (Panther, Jaguar, Leopard, etc.) So the double dig on Microsoft is saying their copy of Leopard is another cat - a copy cat.
Go Mac!
You guys are forgeting to read the another billboard. Introducing Vista 2.0. Its soooo coool.
Do you wanna a prove that bill gates is a copycat? See this:
very average, no one is going to get it and if they did they wouldn't care. advertising at its worst.
actually, they would get it, and yes, they would care. very much. it's at WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) which is Apple's most important annual event for hardware and software developers to receive in-depth information and instruction from Apple's technical architects and engineers.
well guest, i can safely say that fortunately most people wouldnt care for your opinions as well
IMHO, its nice work!
I think ppl are already bored with Apple whining so much, if you're on top why whine, jeez - didn't apple, after all, rip-off the whole gui idea from xerox intially?
Redmond, Washington is Microsoft's headquarters. And yes, Apple is pissed.

Learning how to deal with criticism can be tough, but - once you've mastered it - it's such a useful skill to have.
If you've landed here first, do make sure you have a look at Part 1 of How to Deal with Criticism to get started with an introduction to the ways we might deal with criticism. I'll still be here when you come back.
Whatever the reason was for you having to deal with criticism, just remember that there's so much more to you than whatever it was that got criticised.
In addition, if any of these happen to apply to you:
Whether or not you're involved in the performing arts, music, sport, fashion, TV or you're a minor or a major celebrity - there is much more to you than any of these aspects.
Do remember to remind yourself of at least three things you've achieved today (NOT connected with any of the above) and three things you like about yourself, before you go to sleep.
If you've felt let down in any relationship, however old you were and for whatever reason, your self-esteem might be in your boots. I recommend Build Your Self-Esteem - via my page Self-Hypnosis FAQ - an effective and safe hypnosis download.
If you're more sensitive to the opinions of others than you would like, I really suggest you get the Care Less What Others Think download.
None of the following points are offered as excuses, but they may explain and help put things in context when you've been unfairly criticised.
Is your critic...
Remember though, that your learning may not just be about knowledge and skills - it can also be about 'people', 'life' and mostly - yourself.
Are you in a relationship with someone who is generally abusive? If so, your biggest learning will come when you recognise and change old patterns of behaviour in yourself.
Are you beating yourself up? Are you constantly critical of yourself? Is there a critic sitting on your shoulder forever undermining you? Are you always giving yourself a hard time? Do you tell yourself that...
... you look ridiculous
... you're no good
... you're showing yourself up
... you'll never 'make it'
... your work is rubbish?
Constant self-criticism makes it harder for you to deal appropriately with criticism from others.
In a sense, you're bullying yourself. It's very unlikely that you'd say the things you're telling yourself to your best friend. Yet you're happy to undermine yourself?
Now is the time to change that!
It's inevitable that we'll all face both constructive and destructive criticism during our lives. But don't worry - you can learn to cope with both.
Join me in Part 3 for advice on coping with criticism, and a look at what you can do to increase your self-esteem if it's currently in your boots...
Your problem is never too small or too big, too silly or too complicated to ask for help from a professional counsellor (connect for FREE for 7 days, as often as you like - chat, phone or email).

The Fastfire tinder material, when contacted by a flame or just sparks, creates a sustained 1,300 degree flame in seconds. The Fastfire cube is ideal tinder when trying to get a camp or survival fire going under any conditions. It produces a wind resistant flame that will ignite even when wet. A full cube will burn for 10-12 minutes. If cut into 8-pieces for extended use, each piece will burn for 2-3 minutes. The cubes are individually sealed in a heavy-duty foil laminate wrap for long term storage.

BALI, INDONESIA—Hilton Worldwide has signed a new management agreement with PT. Bali Ragawisata for the first Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts property in Indonesia. Located in the Bukit Pandawa precinct in the south of Bali, the 96-villa Waldorf Astoria Bali is also the fourth hotel in the pipeline in Indonesia for the global hospitality group.
"Waldorf Astoria has experienced unrivaled growth in recent years as we continue to expand our footprint with iconic signings in landmark locations," stated John Vanderslice, global head, luxury brands, Hilton Worldwide. "Bali is an immensely popular tourist destination that is renowned for its rich culture and arts."
Perched 40 meters above sea level on a cliff-front land of Bali's southernmost peninsula, Waldorf Astoria Bali will offer panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Situated in Bukit Pandawa, the resort is approximately 10 kilometers away from the Ngurah Rai International Airport.
"Bali, a prominent holiday spot in Asia, is one of the largest tourist destinations for Indonesia, and we are pleased to be working with a reputable partner like PT. Bali Ragawisata to showcase our top of the line luxury brand for the first time in this market," stated Andrew Clough, SVP, development, Middle East & Asia Pacific, Hilton Worldwide.
Designed by SCDA Architects, Waldorf Astoria Bali will offer 96 guestrooms, ranging from one-bedroom villas to six-bedroom suite villas. The resort will feature two specialty restaurants and a destination bar. Waldorf Astoria Bali will also offer a range of event facilities such as a wedding chapel, outdoor event lawn, event courtyard and a business center.
Waldorf Astoria Bali will be the brand's second luxury property in Southeast Asia, joining Waldorf Astoria Bangkok. This announcement also marks the introduction of the fifth brand within Hilton Worldwide's portfolio of 10 world-class brands to the Indonesian market, in addition to the Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Garden Inn brands.

(1) To replace pages or segments of data in memory. Swapping is a useful technique that enables a computer to execute programs and manipulate data files larger than main memory. The operating system copies as much data as possible into main memory, and leaves the rest on the disk. When the operating system needs data from the disk, it exchanges a portion of data (called a page or segment) in main memory with a portion of data on the disk.
DOS does not perform swapping, but most other operating systems, including OS/2, Windows, and UNIX, do.
Swapping is often called paging.
(2) In UNIX systems, swappingrefers to moving entire processes in and out of main memory.
(3) When spelled SWAP, an acronym for Shared Wireless Access Protocol.
