The first week of spring/autumn (Northern/Southern Hemisphere) brought an array of mobile topics from health to gambling and analytics to mobile payment, as mobilists – new, regular and not-seen-for-a-while Carnival contributors – pulled out all the stops. Thanks to all who submitted (hosting the Carnival has been educational as always) – keep up the good work. Find out how to submit your blog to next week's Carnival.
Sticking with money matters, here are a trio of interesting posts on mobile payments.
• One of the hurdles to contactless payment by mobile is the lack of devices that support Near Field Communication (NFC) in many countries, including the USA and Canada. David Eads at Mobile Strategy Partners considers the impact of NFC Stickers, as a big trial kicks off in Canada.
• Barbara Ballard at Little Springs Design provides a good backgrounder as she examines: making micropayments work.
• The interrelationship between mobile advertising and mobile payments is the subject of Raj Singh's blog as he ponders cloud-based payment systems (such as PayPal), payment details on the device or the possibility that paid-for content providers, such as Apple's iTunes, might want to become the next mobile wallet.
Meet the consumer:
• This week at Communities Dominate Brands, Tomi Ahonen turns his attention to data and how much more mobile phones tell marketers about consumers than any other media.
Going mobile – two views:
• Good news: lots of companies going mobile; bad news: lots of mobile services with no purpose or value – so concludes Indigo 102's Martin Wilson in Why run before you walk?. Who could he be referring to? We need to know.
• A dramatic rise in mobile boarding passes in the past year has David Murphy at Mobile Marketing Magazine (in his Carnival debut) pondering whether this is the first of many stories with eye-watering percentage growth rates to come.
Are App developers getting a raw deal from App Stores?
• What developers want and why by MSearchGroove's Peggy Anne Salz considers how App Stores can provide a better service to developers, with a feedback mechanism, more say in how apps are marketed etc… oh, and they want to make some money, please.
Sticking with the techie stuff:
• Noting that the iPad continues Apple's tradition of releasing mobile devices that do not support Flash, Francisco Kattan offers his hypothesis on: why Steve Jobs will never put Adobe Flash on iPhone OS devices.
• Is Windows Phone 7, launched at MWC, the culmination of, or did it replace Microsoft's long-awaited Windows Mobile 7? At Mopocket, Mordy Gilden investigates in Photon- the Windows Mobile UI that could have been.
• Ajit Jaokar of Open Gardens is researching mobile cloud computing – "Anywhere anytime secure data access" – and associated security issues. He offers a definition, resources and invites contributions.
And because no week would be complete without a piece on the Google/Apple War:
• Cian O Sullivan of GoMo News ponders Google's recently-awarded location-based advertising patents. (Note these patents were filed seven years ago).
There's no best blog this week, instead here is a question for the week:
• Should a mobile handset be used for making calls? An overheard conversation in a restaurant encourages Tsahi Levent-Levi to raise the question.
Thanks to all of the mobilists for the brimming inbox of excellent submissions this week. Sorry to all of those who didn't make it in this time – due to the number of submissions, we were forced to play by the rules, i.e. no blogs more than a week old and to limit the number of Apple-fan blogs.
• Mobilists old and new make sure you submit your blog for Carnival #215 hosted at MJelly.
• If you missed it please also see Carnival #213 over at WIP.
Thanks for the great Carnival Andy!

Unique Way of Application of Magical Style of Narration in Marquez's Literary Discourse
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's extraordinary artistry in blending different stylistic devices for narrating his stories makes him stand out as the only writer whose literary orientation fascinatingly deviates from the narrating norms of the other prominent Latin American writers. His main style of writing is in fact to juxtapose the reality and fantasy in such an ingenious way that every unusual and fantastic phenomenon appears real and believable and carries numerous connotations. His literary discourse possesses in abundance the magical scenes and images and many complex figural devices. In order to depict the multiple dimensions of his society, Marquez has adopted different narrative techniques and styles for his novels, by carefully focusing on the message and originality of the story.

1More Than a Feeling
Best song ever written, I get goose bumps whenever I hear it. It really has great meaning and makes me feel great about life!
Oh my god its such a POWERFUL song.
More Than a Feeling is the world's greatest song. I'ill crank it all day long all over my block.

2Peace of Mind
Incredible song; better than more than a feeling in my opinion.This song is very memorable
This song is really good. I enjoy the acoustic entry and the solos. And also great vocals/singing.
In my opinion, "Peace of Mind" is the best Boston song.More comments about Peace of MindListen to sample
3Foreplay / Long Time
Tied with more than a feeling, this is my all time favorite song. I love how the organ, Acoustic and electric guitars, drums, and Brad Delp's voice combine to make the greatest songs of all time!
No contest. There is nothing that should be ahead of this song, except for More Than A Feeling. This has to be number two though.
Just pure craftsmanship in this song. I can truly see the time and effort Tom and his friends put in to this song. Absolutely Great!More comments about Foreplay / Long TimeListen to sample

Yes, but RC Moderation
[A commenter under the name of OzJuggler came into the thread of the moment at Steve's to interject a question, "as is often the case" at Gavin's. This comment by OzJuggler got ignored. More than that, it got snipped. If you click on the sourced link, if should lead nowhere. That's where the comment appeared at first.]
I just posted this comment at your most relevant article on the topic, but since that is 7 years old you may not see it, so sorry for the repeat.

I just turned 26. I will be graduating in December. I have nowhere to go. And I have no idea what I want to do after that. Yet, I still need to somewhere to go and something to do to pay bills & loans, and otherwise make life worthwhile. I know I want to go to grad school eventually, but I'm also painfully aware that I need a break from schooling. I've never lived outside of the state, having only left it maybe 5 or 6 times.
I'm 26 years old, I'm only just starting my life, I'm alone, and I'm fucking terrified.

The concept of cheap vans has changed somewhat over the last ten years. Many business owners both large and small would opt for the cheapest option, often going for a used van over a new one. What this amounted to in the long run, was increased maintenance costs, and poor operating performance of the van. Subsequently good deals were exposed as bad ones.
When this false economy was realised, van lease companies emerged. The prospect of a new commercial vehicle paid for over monthly payments with no deposit became too strong to resist, given the lower running costs. Many van leasing companies carried a range of special offers which included unlimited mileage and finance leasing options.
As the market grew, and vans could be had on leasing contract hire, each company had to be more competitive than the next to get the business. A buyer's market developed, and business owners were quick to take advantage of the better deals that each company marketed to get the business. Many tailored quotes to the personal needs of the business, and as a result the offer that was on the table proved too good to resist.
It is now standard practise for businesses regardless of size to opt for a lease hire agreement when they have decided to go for a commercial vehicle. This has been proved beyond measure to be the cheap option when it comes to hiring vehicles, and as a result the used vehicle van market has declined.
The service from van lease hire companies tends to improve with each passing year. Many commercial vans are always in stock, and the range available is extensive and designed to suit the needs of all types of business. To learn more about van leasing, and what vehicles we have, call us now for a quote, you will not be disappointed.

Newest P&WC PT6A receives Canadian TC
Transport Canada has granted type certification for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67P that will supersede the PT6A-67B on the Pilatus PC-12 production line, the turbine engine manufacturer announced here in Atlanta.
The latest version of the -67 turboprop retains the 1,200-shp flat-rated power of the 67B, but with a 15-percent increase in thermodynamic power, up to 1,824 thermal equivalent shp, from 1,605. The increase will give the new PC-12 faster climbs and higher cruise speeds.
P&WC has certified nearly 70 engine models in the PT6A series and produced more than 35,000 for corporate, utility and agricultural applications worldwide. The majority continue in service today.
The company also announced that it now offers Altair Avionics engine performance data transmission units (DTU) for installation on the Cessna XL/XLS and Sovereign, Gulfstream G200 and Dassault Falcon 2000EX following recent FAA STC approvals. Altair is a supplier of aerospace engine electronic monitoring systems and part of the P&WC service center network. The DTU captures and wirelessly transmits engine health data through the cellular network for analysis using a dedicated Web tool. Engine temperature, fuel flow and speed can be captured after every flight for earlier analysis and better planning of maintenance needs and costs through eliminating manual downloading of engine performance information.

BYU bracing for another hostile environment at Boise State
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: September 18, 2012 10:38AM
Updated: September 18, 2012 10:38AM

Music and crowd noise blared from the loudspeakers at BYU's indoor practice facility last night. It was loud enough that reporters gathered outside the building waiting for practice to end could easily hear it.
Obviously, the Cougars are doing all they can to prepare for another hostile environment in Thursday's game at Boise State (7 p.m., ESPN). Question is, did they do enough in that regard last week to get ready for Utah at Rice-Eccles Stadium?
The crowd noise at Utah was definitely a factor in the game, causing multiple false starts from BYU's offensive linemen. When I asked coach Bronco Mendenhall on Monday night what the Cougars could have done differently to combat the crowd noise, etc., he said he made a mistake in believing the players could handle it better than they did.
"I think if I were to do it again, I overestimated, just because we have so many seniors, and because we had been up there before, and many had, I thought they would be more accustomed to it. I probably could have made a bigger deal about it in practice, in terms of just blaring the music. We did all the shifting and stuff that our opponent always does. But maybe I could have emphasized it a little bit more."
Of course, the biggest play of the game can be attributed to miscommunication on the center-quarterback exchange when Blair Tushaus snapped the ball past Riley Nelson. Utah's Moe Lee returned it 47 yards for a touchdown.
Before the play, "We were really kind of hitting on all cylinders and were looking how I was hoping we would look. Then that kind of came out of nowhere," Mendenhall said.
Backup quarterback Taysom Hill said coaches pumped in crowd noise as the Cougars practiced last week, and it was the players' own fault that they couldn't handle the noise at times.
"It was extremely loud," he said. "It is hard to mimic a setting like that, when you look out and see a sea of red. I was running out of the tunnel last Saturday, and I have never been booed that loud before in my life.
It is just a hard environment to mimic. But we will come back and we will iron those things out against Boise State."
Hill said the atmosphere at Boise State "will be pretty similar. Boise State fans are very good fans. They are devout. It will be loud there. But like I said, we are used to it now, and we will be ready."
"It was a tough loss to swallow," Hill continued. "We went in and battled. They were a good team. You don't like to lose to Utah. It was just one of those things where you just wanted to get off the field. You didn't want to be around the various things that were going on. But they played a good game, and we made some mistakes, and it cost us."
Would BYU have continued playing into Sunday if the game had gone into overtime? Of course. Check out my notebook (the lead item is about Riley Nelson's health) for a statement from BYU's Duff Tittle on that.
Here are a few more comments from Mendenhall after Monday's practice (in case you didn't want to watch the entire video I posted last night):
On BYU getting so many personal fouls this season with a senior group, and whether he's disappointed:
"Not really. A lot of times personal fouls are the signs of aggressive, confident play. And I don't really think that is what is problematic at this point. There were more execution things in that game that I was more upset with, than the other."
On the quick turnaround and hangover concerns:
"I mean, none. It is really hard for anyone else to understand, but as a coaching staff, that game already seems like it was weeks ago. We have put so much work into Boise State already that until I get asked, like this, I really don't think about it. So no, tere's no time to have any hangover."
On whether getting back on the field quickly is a good thing:
"Sure. The sooner the better, and our model for handling short weeks has been pretty successful the last number of times, after a few hard lessons to begin with. But hard place to go play, but we just came out of a difficult place to play. So hopefully we can apply some of the lessons that we just learned. And that's what I am anxious to see."

Date added: 09-11-2013 iPhonefixed loves Urban Holster by Constantine Barzacanos
If you're someone who works with their hands, you'll know only too well how easy it is to end up fumbling around for a pen or pencil while you're holding a project steady. Whether you work with cotton and scissors, or wood and sandpaper, there's nothing more irritating than trying to grab your tools which are just out of reach, while the telephone rings away happily in the background. Sound familiar? We thought so.
If you're the sort of person who never seems to have what they need to hand, then the Urban Holster could literally change your life. Manufactured from high quality bridle leather, and designed to hold any small items you could ever need during your working day, the Urban Holster is an iPhone case like no other. With a compartment for your iPhone and a pen, pair of scissors or other small tools, a front wallet space for credit cards, drivers license and loose change, and a back wallet for a notebook or maps, there is almost nothing that couldn't be kept inside this amazing case. If you're forever losing your keys, you can even go one step further and add a keyholder across the front strap – a place for everything, and everything in its place.
Designed around an old army holster found in an antique shop, the Urban Holster is manufactured in beautiful black leather and finished with a strap that sits across the front, which is available in a variety of colours. For more information, head to Kickstarter to see the progress of the project.
Date added: 02-11-2013 The Top Five Bizarre Ways to use your iPhone
The first generation iPhone, the 2G, was launched what seems like eons ago, way back in 2007, and since then we've come a long way by technology standards. The recent 5S was enabled with fingerprint security, retina display, ultra-fast wireless and an impressive iSight camera – everything you could possibly need in a smartphone, whether you're a businessman or a design student. The iPhone can be used as a media player, a camera, a social media tool and a mobile office, while slick apps can turn it into anything from a torch to a personal trainer in seconds. But amidst the sleek design and effective nature lies the humorous, the silly and the downright daft – this week, we've managed to round up five of the most bizarre ways to use your iPhone, just for your amusement. You can thank us later.
As a Giant Comedy Ear
Whether you're channelling Prince Charles, or you simply love to confuse the locals, the Thumbs Up Ear iPhone Case is almost certainly the accessory for you. Made from durable silicon rubber, the cut-out section holds your iPhone in place securely, making it both entertaining and, erm, practical. Sadly, it's only compatible with the iPhone 4 – those with newer versions will have to sit this one out. We can feel your disappointment from here.
As a Handy Snack
We've had cases that double as weapons, cases that can multitask, and even cases that imitate body parts (see above), but they've all been topped by the latest in slick design; the iPhone case you can eat. Heading out without a snack is a risky business, but luckily the folks behind the Survival Senbei Rice Cracker iPhone Case have come up with a solution; by taking the traditional rice cracker and shaping it around an iPhone, you can be sure that whether you're marooned on an island or stuck on the Circle Line, you'll never find yourself without sustenance again. On the downside, it provides absolutely no protection to your iPhone whatsoever – a minor detail though, we think.
As a Robotic Bug
If you've never used your iPhone as a remote control, you're missing out; from turning lights on and off to changing the settings on your central heating, the ways to utilise your smartphone are almost endless.If you're a fan of high-tech gadgetry, you're bound to love the iPhone Controlled Beetle, designed by the lovely people at iHelicopters, who brought us the iPhone controlled cars, helicopters and UFOs. Offering twenty minute sessions of remote-control hilarity, use the robotic bug to scare friends and family, or simply watch it run in circles. And err, that's about it.
As a Wind Machine
We'd forgive you for assuming we're talking about some great new app which harnesses all the technological capabilities of the iPhone, and turns them into energy or electricity, but unfortunately, we're not. The iFart is the app which you never knew you needed.... because you probably don't. Designed simply to make, err, bodily sounds, it has an array of different tones which can be timed or set to 'go off' every time the iPhone is moved. Parp-tastic.
Date added: 31-08-2013 Four Great Cooking Apps for the iPhone recommended by iPhonefixed
Here at iPhonefixed, we love our food – from summer salads and lazy barbecues, to hot and comforting winter soups, stews and casseroles. But sometimes, we all need a little help in the kitchen – so this week we've come up with our four top culinary apps that will make your life in the kitchen that bit easier.
Jamie Oliver's Twenty Minute Meals
Jamie Oliver has become a household name, and has come a long way since the days of 'The Naked Chef'. This great app is ideal for anyone who is less than confident in the kitchen, as there are detailed step-by-step instructions for sixty meals with plenty of pictures, and even changing the ingredients amount is easily done with the handy tab at the top of the screen.
Evernote Food
Most people have heard of the impressive organisation app Evernote, but not as many realise there is an Evernote Food version. With access to thousands of recipes, and the ability to share photographs of your food through picture essays, you'll soon be building a culinary portfolio to be proud of.
Kitchen Tools
Having a kitchen full of gadgets is fine, but when you're in the middle of cooking, you need as much clear workspace as possible, and that's where the handy Kitchen Tools app comes in. Featuring multiple timers, weight conversion, liquid conversion and a dedicated boiled egg timer, you'll never need to juggle your measurements again.
Culinary Herb Guide
With over sixty detailed descriptions of culinary herbs, the Culinary Herb Guide app will add a whole new dimension to your cooking. Admire the beautiful botanical illustrations, read up on the history of numerous different herbs, and research suggested uses and medicinal properties of the plants.
Date added: 23-08-2013 iPhonefixed loves the WoodChuck iPhone Accessories
It's no secret that here at iPhonefixed, we love good design and clean living in equal measures, so every time we stumble across an iPhone or iPad accessory that ticks both those categories, we get a bit excited. From cases upcycled from old tyres or fire hoses, to iPhone docks crafted from broken vintage radios, we love everything unique and good for the planet. So when we stumbled across the range of cases by WoodChuck, we were understandably keen to find out more.
Created by two nature-loving technology addicts, Woodchuck is a range of iPhone, laptop and tablet covers designed, sourced and created in Minneapolis, US. Made from 100% real wood, that's FSC certified as often as possible, the range is available in a wide variety of finishes – think pale birch, rich mahogany and classic walnut – and will add a touch of nature to your iPhone or iPad.
If you prefer quirky accessories that stand out from the crowd, the iPhone 5 cases are available in a geometric tribal pattern, or a variety of inlain designs, from simple zig-zags to an anchor, Minneapolis skyline or elephant image.
The concept of WoodChuck is simple – to return the element of nature to our electronic products. In a world full of disposable, imported, poorly made goods, WoodChuck cases and accessories stand apart and provide the user with a high-quality product, that is both sourced and made on home turf.
Date added: 21-08-2013 GoCuff – iPhone Fitness Case supported by iPhonefixed
Whether you're training for a marathon or charity run, or you're simply someone who's keen on fitness and the gym, you're probably going to want something to listen to while you work out. If you're running on a treadmill, or through the streets in the early morning sunlight, it's always good to have a little entertainment; from podcasts, plays and audiobooks to invigorating dance music that gets your heart pumping – so the one thing you're going to need is a dedicated fitness case, that will keep your iPhone safe while you're busy keeping your fitness levels up.
Most iPhone fitness cases are designed to be worn around the upper arm, which leaves them in an awkward place that is both hard to reach and tricky to get to. GoCuff is different – unlike its competitors, it's worn on the wrist which means you can access it quickly and easily, whether you're on the treadmill or heading off to go snowboarding. Available in three different sizes; small, medium and large, the GoCuff has been anatomically engineered, and allows you to use your iPhone to its full capacity through the unique PVC touch-sensitive screen. If you're into adventure sports, such as snowboarding, skiing or paragliding, the GoCuff also tracks elevation gain and GPS, while still allowing for a full range of motion at the wrist. What's even better is that the GoCuff is made from incredibly thin, perforated neoprene, which means it has a high level of breathability – essential when taking part in sports and fitness activities
Date added: 19-08-2013 Keep on losing your keys? iPhonefixed likes the new KeyMe App.
There's not a lot that's more annoying than discovering that at some point during the day, you've lost your keys, or even worse, you've simply locked yourself out. If you don't happen to have a spare, or haven't left one with a friend or neighbour, you have to face the inconvenience and sheer expense of calling a locksmith to have your locks changed – this is irritating enough if it happens once, but let's face it, some of us are just unlucky when it comes to keys. If you're one of those people who just can't seem to hang on to their keys, you're probably already aware of the locksmith fees, and would do pretty much anything to avoid paying them in the future. Luckily, KeyMe, a New York City based startup has revolutionized the locksmith industry – and could be about to change your life too.
The design is simple, yet revolutionary, and could make a real difference to people who continually lose their keys. By simply placing your key on a piece of plain white paper, and scanning copies of both the front and back, you can create a virtual key which is then stored on your digital keychain. The app then generates two pieces of information for the locksmith – the key type, and a series of numbers which gives depth cutting instructions, which means they can create a brand new key right there on the spot. The app itself is free, and it costs nothing to create an account and scan and store your digital copies of any keys, but it will cost you $9.99 to access the information, should you require it. The locksmith doesn't need any extra information, and when you consider that the fees for a new lock can cost in excess of $150, it's pretty much a bargain.
Founded last year, there are already five self-service kiosks throughout 7-Eleven stores in Manhatten, where you can both scan and make duplicate copies of existing keys. If you're thinking of the future, you can also order via the KeyMe mail order service. The company offer various key designs, in a range of colours and styles, from the charity printed varieties to character keys ideal for children. For those who like something a little more eclectic, choose a novelty design such as the guitar or saw shaped keys, or go for practicality and pick the bottle version, which doubles up as a bottle opener.
Date added: 11-08-2013 Apple's iOS makes life easier
The driving force behind every iPhone is definitely iOS. Almost unlimited potentials and advanced features await businessmen and fans of iPhones alike. With powerful apps allowing users to spread their wings and communicate and collaborate from practically anywhere they might be. What is even better, everything is so user-friendly that it is highly unlikely that someone would not fall in love with an Apple creation.
If you run a business, iOS makes things so much easier for you, due to the highly interactive interface that gets everything rolling with the touch of your fingertip. Want to schedule a meeting or set up a video conference? Siri and FaceTime will get you wired up. Has something come up and want to reach a colleague around the block? It is only a few taps away with AirDrop. And, if you want others to see what you see remotely, you still have FaceTime working for you, making the impossible, possible. Free software updates and high security technologies? They all comprise an integral part of your business, as it has been formed in later years.
Although trying to list all apps and features of your iOS iPhone will take forever, if you spill water or accidentally drop it and break its screen will happen within seconds and cut the air out of you with the speed of light. Yes, truth is that your iPhone is a valuable tool for your business and any damage whatsoever could as well mean that your business falls behind. You need to have your iPhone running smoothly just like the very first day your palm welcomed it in. Don't worry. We know. You are in need of a Bonnie Tayler's "Hero", and this is exactly why iPhonefixed.co.uk are here. We will make your day and repair any damage on your iPhone in no time, and without costing you a fortune.
We know iPhones, just like you know that you need to go with the flow if you want to stay on top, in a highly competitive marketplace. For that reason, and a myriad of others, your iPhone must, by all means, remain fully functional at all times. However, it could all be just talk and no true essence, which is why we challenge you to visit our website and ask for our services. Simply ask for a quote and come to see for yourself the meaning behind words. We are sure you will be pleasantly surprised!
Date added: 01-07-2013 Some features in iOS 7 you may have missed
We all love our iPhones, and with iOS 7 came a brand-new way of using those phones. The operating system may be a little old now - and we are still talking just a few months - but there are still plenty of little secret and tricks that people just don't get. It is possibly the most responsive and practical operating system available on a phone today. In this article we will look at a few tips and tricks that you may have missed.
If you're a busy person for example, the notification centre is your new best friend. It not only brings you some alerts, it also allows you to take control of your life quicker and more effectively. Head in to Settings to change the notification centre and what it tells you. It can pretty much help you run your day, by giving you alerts about meetings, the weather and all sorts of interesting stuff that really helps you feel like you're in control. It's one of the best features of iOS 7.
If you're still struggling with the new font style with iOS 7, and we have to agree that some people can see them as a little bit 'thin', you can enhance the fonts and make them bold. To get this done all you have to do is go in to Accessibility settings, where you will find a 'bold text' setting. Switch that particular setting on and your fonts will stand out that little bit more. Though a little bit old school, it is a clear indication that Apple are trying to make sure that all it's customers are pleased.
Parallax wallpapers, love them or hate them
You will notice that there is something called 'parallax wallpapers' too. This is where the backgrounds move a little bit. If you can't handle this, and it is not your cup of tea, get customising it and go to Accessibility where you are able to switch to a setting that allows you to 'reduce motion'.
One of our favourite updates in iOS 7 is possibly the simplest. For years we have been trying to get decent flashlight/torch apps installed on our phones, and they were always a bit fiddly. All you have to do now though with iOS 7 is flick up the bottom of the screen and hit the torch option. You can even do this from the lock screen.
The amazing feature that is Siri
And Siri has finally come of age too. You can use it to do pretty much anything on your iPhone, from checking email to updating your Twitter account. The good news about Siri is that the more you use it, the more it gets used to you. Siri has really become a true personal assistant, and the greatest tragedy at the moment is that not many people are using it. Take it for a test drive today, and you will find that pretty soon you can't do without it.
There are just a few things that we love about iOS 7. These amazing features are still unknown for many Apple phone users. Siri, especially, is a true gem.
Date added: 12-06-2013 Should we be expecting Apple's new-born, the new sapphire scratch-free iPhone 6, in 2014?
During the last couple of days the world is on fire about the rumors that want Apple to launch the brand-new, shiny, scratch-proof, sapphire crystal screen iPhone 6, somewhere during the 2nd half of 2014! According to the latest reports, Apple has invested more than 500 million dollars to develop a super scratch-proof sapphire screen that will save users the trouble of a damaged or cracked screen after a fall or any accident. How would you like if you had an iPhone that can break concrete into pieces?
At this point, many iPhone 5S owners will come forward and say that their mobile phone also has sapphire crystal. The difference is that iPhone 5S uses sapphire crystal only to specific parts of them (see fingerprint-reading Touch ID button and protective lens of the rear camera), unlike the iPhone 6 that uses it all over its display. One can understand that the new iPhone 6 will sweep the market and run ahead of competition, bringing a new feature that most users will very much appreciate.
Apple seems to have managed to make a relatively costly material more reachable to more users around the world. Rumors also whisper that iPhone 6 will have enhanced functions, like eye-controlled scrolling through pages and studio-flash that will allow users to light a scene from a wide array of angles. In other words, tech and photography lovers will probably adore this model! Other than that, it is possible to expect an iPhone with curved screen that will ultimately let users enjoy a bigger surface area at about the same width with the iPhone 5S.
Others on the other hand, fear that iPhone 6 will be much more expensive than its forerunner, due to the larger screen, new features, possibly bigger size and more material used. It is spread that the new iPhone 6 will combat with phablets in size. However, none of this is pinned down, so we will have to wait for an official press release from Apple, or for the new iPhone 6 itself!
Date added: 11-06-2013 iPhonefixed loves iZZi Slim
Here at iPhonefixed, one of the things we love most about the iPhone is it's incredible camera capabilities, and all of the wonderful editing apps available on the App store. Whether you like to create photographs that look as professional as possible, or simply like an easy to use format for snapping pictures on the go, the iPhone ticks all of the image boxes. Which is why when we heard about the iZZi Slim over on Kickstarter, we couldn't help but be interested; a durable case complete with pro-grade lenses? Yes please!
Developed by the same people that produced the Orbit Pro, the iZZi Slim is lighter, more affordable and more portable – making it one of the most versatile pieces of camera tech for the iPhone that we've ever seen. Made from polycarbonate, the Slim is designed with usability in mind; the lightweight element means it's incredibly simple to use for everything from self-portraits to landscape shots – and it won't leave you with an achy arm either. Just like a standard iPhone case, it's hardwearing and durable, and is easy to remove at any time; so while you're creating amazing images, you're also protecting your iPhone.
Equipped with four pro-grade lenses, the iZZi Slim is easy to operate; simply switch between lenses by using your finger to rotate and select the one you want to use. With options including 180-degree fisheye, telephoto, wide-angle and macro lenses, your photographs will soon take on another dimension and exceed all of your expectations. We love the fact that each lens comes with a cover, too, and that the unique design still allows access to the standard iPhone camera. Planning at it's best!

We saw the first real sign of it in Boston, fleeting though it was. Then again against Golden State, only moreso. It spread further against Detroit, and is readily apparent again tonight against Oklahoma City. What am I talking about? The layup. The dunk. The finger roll. The Inside Score.
For good or for ill, the Hawks had become primarily a jumpshooting team, relying time and again on the 3 ball more often than not. There is an argument in favor of "for good" as the 17-10 record so far would attest. Others maintain that so many jumpshots only bode ill , be it sooner or later. Of course, anybody saying that probably doesn't like Mike Bibby, or has a split personality, because you just can't have it both ways. Bibby is definitely the tip of the spear when it comes to our newfound perimeter prowess (as so many of us have lamented the lack thereof last season and in seasons past). But that's not what gets our attention lately. Oh no.
It's this team's sudden ability to finish at the rim. No check that, the ability has always been here. It's the sudden execution. The drive (both literally and figuratively). The aggression. The "we just scored right in your face, and what are you going to do about it when we come at you again next possession?" of it all. It started for me when we played Boston, where Josh Smith drove and threw down that thunderous jam over Kendrick Perkins. It continued when we watched Marvin Williams, a player known for taking bad angles to the basket when he actually decided to do so, score repeatedly on drives. Watching Marvin throw down a dunk, then follow it with an assortment of tip-ins and layups….was just plain beautiful. And while he did not score 20+ points against Detroit, he had the same look and form about him.
Meanwhile, Joe Johnson caught the bug. Instead of trying to shoot jumpers over Stuckey, Hamilton, and Iverson all night, he drove the hole. And voila! Two layups that looked easy as pie! Let us not forget Mike Bibby, who seemed allergic to attempting a shot anywhere closer than 18 feet of the basket. Watching him get a layup here, and collecting an assist there off of the drive reminded me of the old Bibby that played for Sacramento. Ah, those were the days. And here lately, those days are back.
And Josh, who's legs still aren't back to their usual explosive selves, is attempting several moves in the post, along with short drives to the basket. I'm noticing a lot of spin moves once he hits the paint, evidence of his work with Olajuwon. Call it what you want, but I think Josh is learning a valuable lesson right now. Sooner or later, he will no longer have the ability to outjump over 90% of the competition. Sooner or later, his athleticism will not rule the day, and some other 20 year old will be showing off his 40-inch vertical. Just ask Antonio McDyess how that feels. Better for Josh to learn now while he's young…how to score on the block with savvy.
So, was this an aberration? Will JJ go back to nothing but 10 seconds of dribbling before throwing up the fade-away jumper? Will Bibby stay camped out behind the 3-point line every time? Will Josh go back to jacking long jumpers, or will he revisit his days as a dunk champion? Has Marvin finally turned that last switch on? This remains to be seen, but as I watch Marvin swoop in and throw down a nasty dunk (he's wide open, but it's still beeeeautiful), I think not. The Hawks are finally mixing in that last ingredient that will make them harder to beat than ever: the inside finishing touch.

OKC, at home. And we're seeing an 8-man rotation.
Against OKC.
At home.
Finishing — as in finishing the season with healthy, motivated players is going to be the problem if we're not careful. Up by 7 with 2:24 left after Josh hits a 3-pointer — that didn't seem to be the inside play we're looking for here.
This team is like a barn cat playing with its food before eating it — no matter how big (Detroit), or small (OKC) the mouse. And sometimes, these mice will bite back … please just don't let it be this mouse tonight!

Sigh, this is what I wanted to see in the second and third quarters — not this late. These kids need some run in meaningful game situations — not the last minute of trash time.

Hawks win 99-88. And we even had a Solo sighting in the last 30 seconds! Talk about finishing, Acie got a pair of free throws down and Solo (Solo?!!?!) hit a 26-foot three-pointer! Mario had to get into the books too with a technical.
Like I said, this team is like a young barn cat. It just wants to run and ponce, and occasionally it has to gack one up (Celtics) when it tries too hard. I just hope Woody doesn't run these kids to death before March …

Yeah Big Ray, it looks like we have the blog to ourselves a bit tonight. I imagine things will get better when you guys finally get your link on the main sports page, plus it is crunch time for holiday shopping. In addition, it's kind of hard to get fired up about playing the worst team in the league. I remember the days when that was us … like three years ago.
On the positive side — I do like the spacing Woody has going on offense. I think teams have really started to respect our shooting, and the offense seems to be designed to open the floor up more than in year's past. When we can get our guys moving to the basket — there should be openings.
Sometimes it just seems like we settle for too many jump shots sometimes when, at least to my eyes, it looks like there's a lane to the basket. Marvin got a really nice layup late in the fourth, but I really want to see more power moves out of him, Josh and Big Al — especially like the one Josh pulled out against the Celtics last week. One good rim shaker like that can really set the tone for this team, and as a young team they play much better when they have that swagger that comes from being aggressive at the basket on both offense and defense.
Of course, it's those 10-12 minutes a game that the Hawks seem to have when they lose focus that really hurts. But, I like the spacing in the offensive half-court sets — we just need to get Woody to light a fire under someone's tail to take the ball to the rack with authority more often.

Winning ugly is the subtitle for this season. Gimpy Josh, short rotations, 3 of top 8 in contract year, 5 of 15 players unlikely to score 82 points this season, A six pack of coaches fired before Christmas–with Woody on solid ground, and we are solidly the 4th best team in the east playing above a 60% winning pace. If I made this stuff up, you would say I was BUI (blogging under the influence.)
Gotta tip your cap to a strange season. At least it's strange in a good way for us.
How times have changed. Five games for Christmas. The NBA is trying to get me in trouble.

Y'all need to get this blog listed on Garmin, Tom-tom, Google maps, etc.
I love how Bibby is trying to involve the bigs lately. I just wish that Joe would do the same. I'll say it yet again: We will NEVER be a powerhouse team until Joe starts to truly trust the younguns.

There is now a link to the Hawks Hacks on the Hawks main page of the sports section. However, it takes you directly to the prior blog, not the main page or the current blog.
Progress comes in small steps. Like the 4 years it took Woody to get to a winning record. I suspect your success will be quicker once you get your blog GPS.
Time to kick a few Bulls while they are down tonight.

It would be great to see the Hawks put the defense they have played over the past few games with the offensive ball rotation and mix of inside and out they are playing right now into one complete game.

This ability to attack the rim isn't new from Marvin go back to some of first year highlights and you might be a little disappointed with what you see. It's almost like he chooses what he bring on the floor for a season.
December 27th, 2008
9:06 pm
Bleh, can we just forget the third quarter ever happened?
With that having been said, will we even have an Acie sighting in this game? Woody's at least put Solo on the floor for a token minute — but no Acie, or Mario for that matter. Heaven forbid should Joe or Bibby go down with anything serious — because those two will need to be ready.
Anyway, 107-100 with

Free Acie and Mario!
Up by 10 with 51.4 to go, and still no run for those two.
We've looked good in spurts, but really didn't put our heel to their throat until late in the fourth. Of course, that's a good time to do it — but if we took care of business earlier, we could lengthen out the rotation.
Bleh, I'm sounding like a broken record — and I guess I should be happy with our record overall. But man, there's a part of me that is really, really, scared of something happening to one of our key players (again) and then seeing Acie and Mario forced into more minutes before they're ready — when they should be getting more minutes now.
December 27th, 2008
9:34 pm
Whoa, Mario gets a whole minute — and in the spirit of this column — gets a DUNK with six seconds left.
See Woody, Mario can play — and finish!

Yeah, I gotta agree it's becoming Bibby's team. He's not the point guard I expected him to be for this team, and you have to give him props for getting everyone involved — even on those nights when he's our best offensive option. But teams have to have a lead dog, and we have a good one in JJ, and we needed him to go for 40+ on occasion. A player that can do that, is a must for a team to go anywhere in the playoffs. Is there anyone else you want to see at the top of the key with the ball, less than 10 seconds to go in the game when your team's down by one?
I mean, I love what Bibby's brought to the team, JSmooth is JSmooth, Hordford is a young beast, and Marvin might eventually meet some of the expectations everyone has for him — but JJ is the stone cold killer this team needs. There's only about a dozen of those cats in the NBA — and if you team doesn't have one, you're not going anywhere. That's the difference between Dallas and the Lakers. Both teams have a ton of talent — but there's a reason Kobe has about a dozen nicknames that all mean 'killer' in the end.
If there was a version of NBA Jam coming out today (anyone else remember that video game?), I'd be happy to have Bibby and JJ as my team. And for the Hawks, they provide the leadership, and scoring, and stone cold killer attitude we need to finally be winners.
For once, we're winning the games we're supposed to win. It wasn't long ago when we would have found a way to lose these games. However, our defense was MIA tonight. This was the second time we let Rose get his career high — and 117 is too many points to be giving up to the Bulls.
Is it just something about Internet blogs where we just have to find the bad things? Can't we be happy at 19-10, holding down a #4 seed, with Hollinger giving us a 97.3% chance of making the playoffs? I feel jaded sometimes — while I darn well know I better enjoy this while it lasts!
So, without further adieu — and I may not say this again — THANK YOU WOODY AND THE ATLANTA SPIRIT FOR GIVING US A GOOD TEAM TO WATCH!
P.S. Free Acie and Mario!

One caveat to my Michael Redd comment. Ray and I were speaking of OFFENSE. Before anybody jumps on me, I'll defend JJ for his defense, which Michael Redd cannot come close to.
And last night's game was the first time since early in the season that Joe LOOKED like a $14M / Year player.
I'd like to see that at least every other game. Not the point totals, but WHERE he took the shots, and how he involved his teammates early enough in the clock that there was no desperation in their moves. There was a definite flow last night, which Joe can also at times grind to a halt by holding on to the ball too long.
It's great to be 19-10!
December 28th, 2008
12:48 pm
Interesting stats.
Top of list is always best to get that W!
Missed game, but there are still some seriously scary things lurking in the shadows.
I live with the fact that we don't beat the will out of teams, the Hawks scrum throughout regardless of the level of competition.
Given that reality, I do wonder why Woody doesn't give the bench more opportunities to play prior to the 4th quarter. They would get some experience (especially against weaker teams). This would have been a way to give the "I want to see more defense" message to the regulars. I don't think JJ would pout if he averaged 38 mins a game. He and Woody remind me of John Cheney & terrance Stansbury at Temple in the 1980s. (Only player I knew of that averaged OVER 40 mins/game for an entire season in college.)
If you were AC would you want to extend your deal here or move on at the first chance to actually play? If you are Sund and you recognize that Woody won't play much of a bench, why pay for guys that won't play. I can see 8 good contracts and 6 or 7 minimums in the future.
…assuming Bibby continues to be successful, there will be very interesting negotiations this summer. How much do you pay for a crafty PG in his 30s who has lost a step when you are over the cap?
December 28th, 2008
2:04 pm
I am in total agreement that Woody needs to use the guys on the bench. We have enough talent on this team to play 10 guys a night. Getting minutes and production out of the forgotten guys (especially Acie) is actually crucial to the second half of the season and these guys are not a liability if used correctly. While Acie is not as good of a shooter as Bibby, he's much better at breaking his man down, getting into the middle of the defense and creating opportunities for others. And he's also better at defending quicker guards than Bibby. Not to mention, his attributes allow us to change our style of play and show the defense something different.

[...] I come back to find that The Big Three has been getting a little internet celebrity traffic! Big Ray from ajc.com was in the house just last week. Ya'll go check out Ray's blog, the guy is [...]
December 28th, 2008
8:32 pm
Not sure how that happened, Ray- I put a link to The Hawks Hacks on my blog, and the above link popped up here automatically. I was trying to direct traffic TO your site, not away from it!
In any event-
Games like the one Saturday are a result (much to some folks chagrin) of playing your starters heavy minutes. The chemistry with Atlanta's starting five has been on a steep incline. I'm not saying these kids (Acie and Solo in particular) SHOULD be languishing away on the bench the way they are, but it's hard not to notice the benefit. Williams and Smith are playing out of their mind. Horford rarely gets in foul trouble anymore…Woodson has (from what I've seen) made a conscious effort to pace Bibby- but with Flip Murray, who they paid big money to come in here and back up the point. I see no reason why Johnson, a 26 year-old superstar (yeah, I said it) in his prime should see any decrease in mpg. Dude is making McGrady money, and he's playing McGrady minutes. Where does Acie get any pt? I could see arguing Acie OVER Flip, but I can't see a decrease in Bibby and Johnson's minutes. Not with the two of them playing at this level.
December 28th, 2008
8:37 pm
DecDawg, respectfully, there's no way Law is a better distributor or better at "breaking people down" than Bibby. I think Acie could be a servicable guard in this league eventually, but right now Bibby is the better player (if slightly slower). Last year Bibby's defense was suspect, but with the exception of freaks of nature like Rose, he's done a good job on perimeter D.
December 29th, 2008
12:00 am
BA, I agree with you that Bibby is a better player than Acie. I would never argue that point. But Acie is better at taking his man to the rack than Bibby. What Acie lacks is playing time to help his game grow. I'm sure you would have said the same about Rondo and Stuckey a year ago but look at what playing time has done for them. All I'm saying is that Acie's can be a weapon for us. I'm not saying that he should replace Bibby but it is in our best interests to help him grow. Whether we are helping him grow to help us in the future or if we want a stronger bargaining chip for a trade. To let him waste away on the bench serves no purpose at all.
And for the record, Bibby is not nearly as quick as Acie and his defense is still suspect. But I understand that Bibby is maybe the most important piece to our puzzle (since he's the only other person Woodson allows to shoot in the 4th quarter besides JJ).
December 29th, 2008
4:41 am
I think Woody is finally trusting Josh and Al to handle the ball in the post, which is why you're seeing more layups and dunks in recent games. I've been saying for a while (and so have many of y'all) that they need to be fed in the post more, and finally it seems to be happening. I was at the game against the Bulls on Saturday and I really liked what I saw — most of the time when Josh or Al got the ball down low, it either led to free throw opportunities, easy buckets for cutters, layups, or dunks, and it opened up easier perimeter looks as well.
I'm on the Free Acie bandwagon too (at the very least he deserves as much playing time as the ball hog Flip Murray) but overall I'm pretty impressed with Woody so far this year.
December 29th, 2008
4:00 pm
I'll have to say that respectfully, I reject the either/or premise regarding Woody. Last season Ed Stefanski gave Mo Cheeks an ultimatum to play his young players more. And as we all know, it worked, The Sixers got better as the year went on. And yeah, I know what happened this year, but the point is that Stefanski, like Sund, inherited a coach (as opposed to hiring one), and still felt he could give some marching orders. And you'd have to say that beyond the Sixers' struggles, that they are still better off for getting all that playing time for Williams, Young and their young bigs.
If you remember, Sund said early on that player development was to be a major point of emphasis. So what are we seeing? Journeyman vets getting most of the playing time off the bench, despite playing just like "journeymen". Meanwhile a lottery pick languishes on the bench DESPITE playing well. And a promising 2nd rounder as well. If I thought they (Acie and Solo) had played WORSE than FlipMo I'd feel differently. But that's not the case.
December 29th, 2008
6:56 pm
Has it been established if Acie was exclusively a "Billy Knight" pick? How much pull did Woodson have in the selection process? I think it's safe to say Solo was a classic Billy Knight forward type of pick(of course, I know nothing for a fact).
So the debate is FlipMo vs. Acie/Solo? Flip has been streaky, and Evans shot has been off for a couple of weeks. But logic dictates that they're paying these cats a signifigant amount of scratch. And I don't think FlipMo has played poorly enough to justify replacing their minutes with the same inconsistent young players they were replacing in the first place. It might be a different story if the Hawks weren't, say, 19-10!
A decade is long enough with the player development. Every team has three or four guys that almost never play. If two of our three are promising young guys, that bodes well for the next couple of years. I don't think it means we play them if we don't have too, especially during a winning streak. The players in front of these guys are for the most part young and hitting their prime, so naturally they're going to play more minutes.
And yeah, I get Ray's (and a lot of others) point in regards to injury. But consider this- we lost our second best player for a month, and they weathered the storm. Of course, with this "becoming Bibby's team" (good line, that one) I shudder to think what would happen, starting Flip…
December 29th, 2008
7:12 pm
I said it on draft day two years ago, and I'll say it again now: I'd rather have Acie than Conley Jr.
Look at Acie's college career — the man could flat carry a team. He can pass, he can shoot and he can distribute. None of that has changed, except that he hasn't been given a chance to do that in Woody's system.
I don't know if it's because Acie hurt his ankle early in the season last year, or if he's really in the doghouse, or if Flip has compromising pictures of Woody at the Hanna Montana concert from 2006 — but the bottom line is that a legitimate lottery pick is getting almost no run on a team that could use him.
Is Acie perfect? No. Does he have limitations at the pro level? Yes. But he can help this team, right now — and maybe even more in the future. Don't forget, Bibby's an unrestricted free agent after this season. If we were to lose Bibby, who takes over?
… oh, I think I just heard Speedy slip on a grape peal back in the player's lounge area, be right back …
Sigh, it sounds like another 6-10 week recovery period for Speedy.
Anyway, the season is 82 games long. This is the period where you HAVE to work your role players into the system. If you run JJ and Bibby 40 minutes every night for the next two months — they're going to be worn out — especially if they spend the energy on D that Woody expects them too. And yes, that was a run-on sentence and it still had the letter D and Bibby's name in it.
Look, I don't have a hidden stash of Acie jerseys that I'm speculating on, and if you want to take the majority of this post and swap the name Mario with Acie — I'm fine with that. But the problem remains that we need to get about 15 minutes of run a night for one or both of those guys and get JJ and Bibby down to more manageable minutes for a bit. We need this for both now and the future.
Free Acie and Mario!
December 29th, 2008
9:39 pm
20-10. And for the most part, especially in the second half — we looked good. Denver really missed Nene though.
Flip and Mo got all the reserve minutes tonight. I'm beginning to believe that Woody is just not going to play Acie and Mario any meaningful minutes for whatever reason. However, at least he kept JJ and Bibby both under 40 minutes tonight, and that's pretty important too.
I'm thinking more and more that Woody's rotation preferences are a lot like Bobby Cremins' ones back at Tech in the late '80s. You get 5-6 guys and ride them hard, and one or two more who see a little time. I mean, me and Ray could have been bench players on those teams with Mark Price and John Salley. You would never know any differently from the score sheets, because the other eight guys on the team never sniffed the court.
But hey, we're 20-10 for the first time in more than a decade. As long as we're playing like we did tonight, I just have to remember that Woody is the NBA coach, and I'm the anonymous Internet blogger. One of us coaches an NBA team, and the other just thinks he can!
Go Hawks!
