Hazelwood Home Armoire
Perfect for storage!
Amy from Red Oak, TX– Verified Buyer
I used this piece as a shoe closet! I put adjustable, stackable shoe racks inside the top part for the perfect storage for my shoe collection. The rod was perfect for keeping my top of my boots from falling over.
Pain in the Packaging
Jennifer from Hopedale, MA– Verified Buyer
Well, I haven't actually put the wardrobe together yet, but the way it is packaged is awful!!
Jennifer from Milwaukee, WI– Verified Buyer
It was easy to put together fits nicley where i wanted it to go.
Clothes Closet
Dennis from Laceys Spring, AL– Verified Buyer
No complaints. I didn't need the instructions to put it together. I added wood glue to each joint and reinforced every corner with extra pieces of wood. I cut a piece of used 3/8" plywood big enough to cover the back and add stiffness. The plywood back made it heavier but the doors came out squared and the gap between the doors is uniform from top to bottom. The drawers slide in and out smoothly and the whole Closet really feels sturdy. It isn't like my stick built furnature I built from scratch in the other bedrooms. I took extra time and effort to add reinforcement because I wanted sturdy furnature. The extra effort was worth it to me. I wouldn't call it flimsy and the material was good enough for me to work with. I feel it was worth what I paid for it. All the parts were in the box, that box was heavy, and the parts were well protected.
Cheap looking
David from Sulphur, LA– Verified Buyer
It took three tries to get a box that wasn't T-boned. The assembly instructions were not very clear and made assembly difficult. The finished product is cheap looking. The particle board is covered with something like contact paper that was already peeling off in spots along the back. The screws that hold the sides together do not sit flush and the round brown stickers that go over them to "hide" the screws looks terrible. I would say you get what you pay for but I have since seen armories for the same price at Lowes that were far superior.
Nice armoire
Mariam from Wyandanch, NY– Verified Buyer
For light weight clothes items only. Took time to put together but it's nice.
Shannon from Peoria, AZ– Verified Buyer
I gave this Armoire to my parents who didn't have much room for their things. It looks nice, and is great for storage!
Jonathan from Bowie, MD– Verified Buyer
Beautiful product for price.
Lynne from Essexville, MI– Verified Buyer
Awesome piece of furniture. Fast delivery. Only down fall..it took 4 hours to put together.
Ok for price
Brianna from Minneapolis, MN– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
This wardrobe is used by my boyfriend. The assembly was fairly simple.

New Coke ad salutes U. of Ala. and Coach Saban; Narrator is Saban's wife
Send this to a friend
- Carla Caldwell, Morning Call Editor
Coke Zero has launched a new ad that features BCS National Champion the University of Alabama and Tide coach Nick Saban. The ad is narrated by Saban's wife, Terry, and includes photos from the Saban family, the University of Alabama and Atlanta-based The Coca-Cola Company Archives.
In the spot Terry Saban recounts a series of things people said her husband couldn't do - but achieved - from "marrying the head majorette from the rival high school" to "winning three titles in four years."
For anyone wondering why Coke (NYSE: KO) chose to highlight its Coke Zero product in the spot, there is this:
"Throughout his life and career, Coach Saban has shown what's possible. Coke Zero, which made it possible to 'Enjoy Everything' by combining Real Coke Taste and Zero Calories, salutes that spirit," according to a statement from Andy McMillan, vice president, Coca-Cola Trademark, Coca-Cola North America. "We congratulate Coach Saban and the University of Alabama on this historic 15th championship win and celebrate alongside the legions of Crimson Tide fans."
The Coca-Cola Company has a relationship with the University of Alabama that dates back more than 70 years, the statement said. In addition, the company "actively supports" Coach Saban's Nick's Kids Foundation, the company said.

I am having this procedure completed to minimize...
I am having this procedure completed to minimize the appearance of my acne scars. The first procedure went well- not overly painful. I spent an hour sitting with the numbing cream on and then about 45 minutes under the laser. I noticed slight swelling and redness right after so I immediately starting icing my face. Today is day 1 and the redness is more noticeable as well as the swelling ( especially under my eyes) but I expected this. I will continue icing, gently cleaning and moisturizing for the next week.
Read 2 Comments
Thanks for your review and posting photos!! On a scale of 1-10 what was the pain like?
I would rate it a 4-5 out of 10 but I will admit to having a higher pain tolerance... Honestly, it's all worth it for me to get rid of the scars!
Day 2
Today is day 2 after getting my first treatment and the swelling has gone down. My face is much more red today and has now developed a rough/course texture which was expected.
Read 2 Comments
wich laser was it? fractional or ablativ?
Fractional restore
Day 3
Today there is no swelling and the redness is subsiding. My skin is still very course and is flaking off. I am heavily moisturizing but the skin is so dried out that it hardly absorbs the lotion. All is going as planned :)
Read 4 Comments
are you happy with the results so far, I am told with fraxel restore you continue to see results over 6 months
So far I am very pleased ... Time will tell ( I still have 3 more treatments). Coworkers have already noticed a difference though which is a great sign!
Judging from your before and after pics you can tell there is an obvious difference. Is the $3000 you spent for one session or all 4 sessions you will have? Thanks.
Day 6
My skin is pretty much completely healed today, no redness, no swelling , little coarseness , and very little flaking. I was very pleased w the healing time! I am having a little breakout but I did expect that. Signing off until next Friday when I get my 2nd treatment (more pics to come)!
Read 6 Comments
Thank you for your update!!! Good luck with your next treatment, can't wait to see your updated progress photos!
That's great, I am less anxious about having this treatment done. I have read so many bad reviews. Thnks for your review I hope you will keep us updated on your journey
Thanks for the support!
Second Treatment
I had my second treatment today. We up'd the setting to 50 with 8 passes, so it was a bit more uncomfortable then the last. Very pleased so far :)
Read 1 Comments
OH my gosh, your results are incredible!!
Day 1 after 2nd treatment
I've been icing since I got the procedure done yesterday and I feel like the swelling is better this time around . The right side of my face is more swollen bc I slept on that side ( didn't sleep w my head elevated as recommended). A bit of redness today but all in all, everything's looking great!

Day 2 After 2nd Treatment
Day 2 is going great! Swelling has gone down, redness is more noticeable and although I'm heavily moisturizing, my skin has already started flaking.
Read 7 Comments
Your skin looks amazing. I am due to get this treatment done on my chin and under eye in a few weeks time. Great review and very helpful, so I know what to expect.
I have decided to wait on getting fraxel treatment and I trying less invasive treatment. I am trying out a series of chemical peels. I don't have any scars in fact my skin really good for being 45, hoping it will help with the lines under eyes and chin. If not will do fraxel next year. Keep u posted on my peel treatments, my first went okay , 2nd and 3rd will be more deeper
Well fraxel is less invasie than acid peelings unless your percentage is lower than 30%. let me know how it goes has i wanted something more radical like tca peeling or dermabrasion.
3rd treatment
I had my third treatment and my my, it was much more painful than the first two. This was what I expected though considering we bumped up the level to 55 still w 8 passes. It def had a swollen and redness even by the time I left the office.

Of course- I'm 27
4th treatment
Ok, I finally made it- completed my fourth treatment tonight. We did a 65 on my cheeks and 60 on the rest of my face. A tid bit more painful than the last. Initial swelling doesn't seem as bad this time. Once again, happy with the results! Updates on the recovery to follow over the next couple of days.

I am going for my fifth, I noticed a better texture and the acne scars are less visible. Fine wrinkles disapear and that's cool for 30+ I want to do another treatment for next winter. Not sure if I should continue with Fraxel or go for TCA or Dermabrasion. I have rolling scars (you will only see them on bad light).
hi millie, i recently did a fractional c02 laser and just finished a fraxel 1550 treatment yesterday. i have similar scaring to you but only on my left cheek. i have not seen any results from the c02 and was quite disappointed. hoping for better results with the fraxel. what percentage would you say your scars have improved?
I am still waiting for the final results (you have to be patient)... it will take 3-6 months to see the final results from my treatments. So far I do notice reduced scarring though and much clearer skin!

Trend Alert: Puffer Sleeves
by Fashion 14 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Almost as cute as a puffer fish, puffer sleeves are an easy way to embrace this season's romantic trend. Found on both dresses and tops, volume has spread to the sleeve and how adorable it is. I'd watch out for these if you have broad shoulders and maybe go for the longer puffer sleeve styles; and remember to go slim on bottom as to not over-volumize. Puff away!

Spirit's marketing executive heads to Colombian airline
Send this to a friend

A senior executive at Spirit Airlines is leaving the company to head Colombian startup carrier VivaColombia, the airline confirmed Thursday.
In August, Barry Biffle, Spirit's executive vice president and chief marketing officer, will become CEO of the year-old carrier based in Medellin, Colombia.
Biffle has been Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza's right-hand man since February 2005. Prior to that, he served as managing director of marketing at US Airways Group (NYSE: LCC), where he led advertising, direct marketing and frequent-flier programs. Before that, he held several management positions at American Eagle.
"South America is one of the greatest opportunities in the world in the point of view of low-cost airlines," Biffle said. "Additionally, low rates will help transform the economic landscape of the region through increased tourism and trade."
The young airline flies five Airbus A320s to nine cities in Colombia with air fares as low as $15.
The Colombian airline market has grown 15 percent to almost 19 million domestic passengers last year, and should see more double-digit growth this year partially because of expansion at VivaColombia, according to CAPA - Centre for Aviation.
In 2012, Colombia was Latin America's fastest-growing domestic market among the region's three main markets, which includes Brazil and Mexico.
Spirit did not say who would replace Biffle.
Shares of Miramar-based Spirit (NASDAQ: SAVE) were up 76 cents, or 2.42 percent, to $32.21 in Thursday afternoon trading. The stock was trading at a volume of 212,196 shares, down from its three-month average volume of 690,295 shares. Spirit reached its 52-week high of $32.66 on June 11 and its 52-week low of $15.64 on Nov. 14.

United States Patent 3,492,153 SILICON CARBIDE-ALUMINUM NITRIDE REFRACTORY COMPOSITE Guy Ervin, Jr., Northridge, Calif., assignor t0 N0rth American Rockwell Corporation, a corporation of Delaware N0 Drawing. Filed Sept. 3, 1964, Ser. No. 394,316
Int. Cl. C23c 13/04 US. Cl. 117-106 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for preparing a high density silicon carbidealuminum nitride refractory composite by depositing aluminum nitride from the vapor state in the pores of a silicon carbide body. Preferably, aluminum nitride is formed in situ in the pores of the silicon carbide body by heating this body at a temperature between 1400 and 2200 C. in an atmosphere containing nitrogen and vaporized aluminum.
This invention relates to a high density silicon carbidealuminum nitride refractory composite, and to a process for preparing such a composite.
Silicon carbide is a unique refractory material that is a well-known article of commerce and widely used for several special high temperature applications, e.g., as a rocket nozzle or as a high-temperature heating element. One limitation of silicon carbide for use as a rocket nozzle is the difficulty of obtaining silicon carbide of high density and consequent high strength as well as good corrosion resistance. When silicon carbide is used as a heating element, it undergoes gradual oxidation and deterioration at elevated temperatures.
Several suggestions have been made for improving the electrical, physical, and chemical properties of silicon carbide so as to provide greater uniformity in the electrical conductivity of silicon carbide electric resistance elements as well as improved durability and resistance to corrosion at elevated temperatures. Thus it has been proposed to prepare a refractory containing silicon carbide admixed with another refractory material such as aluminum nitride, this latter material being principally used as a crucible material for containing molten metals. In one proposed method, a sintered mass consisting of silicon carbide and aluminum nitride is prepared by mixing together silicon carbide and aluminum nitride and then heating the mixture to sinter it at a desired temperature. While a composite refractory prepared by such a method may afford some improvement over silicon carbide alone, there is insufficient improvement in density of the composite to provide improved strength, such as is required for a rocket nozzle. Also, non-uniform and variable results are obtained.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved high density, high strength refractory material.
It is another object to provide a high density refractory composite of silicon carbide as major component and aluminum nitride as minor component.
It is still another object to provide a high density refractory composite of silicon carbide impregnated with aluminum nitride having superior strength and oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures compared with silicon carbide alone.
It is yet another object to provide a method for preparing the foregoing refractory composite.
In accordance with the present invention, a high density refractory composite of silicon carbide and aluminum nitride is prepared by depositing aluminum nitride from Patented Jan. 27, 1970 the vapor state in the pores of a porous body of silicon carbide. This improved high density refractory composite is suitable for known present uses of either silicon carbide or aluminum nitride refractory materials alone, and additionally has superior strength and oxidation resistance compared with either of these refractory materials.
According to a preferred feature of this invention particularly suitable for commercial application, the porous silicon carbide body has a porosity of 15-50 volume percent and is maintained at an elevated temperature between 1400 and 2200 C. for about 15 minutes to 3 hours in an atmosphere containing aluminum and nitrogen in the vapor state. Aluminum nitride is formed in situ in the pores of the porous silicon carbide body substantially impregnating and filling these pores to form a high density composite of silicon carbide as major component and aluminum nitride as minor component, having a density at least of theoretical and approaching the calculated theoretical density of 3.20 grams/cubic centimeter. It is particularly preferred for obtaining maximum density and consequent maximum strength to use a silicon carbide body having a porsity between 30 and 40 volume percent and maintain this body at a temperature between 1800 and 2200 C. while being exposed to aluminum vapor in a nitrogen atmosphere maintained at a nitrogen pressure of approximately one atmosphere.
In accordance with other aspects of this invention, aluminum nitride may be deposited from the vapor state in the pores of the porous silicon carbide body by a pyrolytic decomposition method in which porous silicon carbide is heated in the presence of a gaseous mixture of ammonia and aluminum trichloride, which react to deposit aluminum nitride on the hot silicon carbide surfaces. In another decomposition method for depositing aluminum nitride in the silicon carbide pores, the silicon carbide is heated, preferably to at least 1800 C., in an evacuated space containing some iodine vapor and aluminum metal at 300 to 400 C. Nitrogen is added as required to form aluminum nitride by reaction with aluminum iodide vapor Which is transported to the hot silicon carbide surface.
The term composite, as used herein, includes mixtures of grains of individual solid crystals as well as mixtures of silicon carbide-aluminum nitride solid solutions, and thus essentially homogeneous structures. Unless otherwise indicated, composite will therefore include a mixture of different types of crystals, mixtures of solid solutions, or combinations of both.
Silicon carbide is a well known article of commerce, whose high thermal conductivity and general chemical and physical stability makes it a valuable material for refractory use. Its main application in the electric field is in the use of silicon carbide resistors for electric furnace heating elements. Silicon carbide is manufactured 1s a resistance type electric furnace, the reaction being essentially a high temperature gas reaction in which silica is reacted with carbon to give silicon carbide and carbon monoxide, The sintered silicon carbide is available in various mesh sizes and porosities. In order to obtain a composite body of maximum density in accordance with the practice of this invention, it is preferred that the porosity of the silicon carbide be between 15 and 50 volume percent. Optimum results are obtained where the porosity lies between 30 and 40 volume percent, so that the final composite silicon carbide-aluminum nitride refractory contains a major portion of silicon carbide and a minor portion of aluminum nitride, and has a density at least 85% of the theoretical density and preferably approaching the theoretical density of 3.20. These high densities are not attainable by the pressing together of mixtures of silicon carbide and aluminum nitride, either by hot or cold pressing. Also, aluminum nitride composites containing up to 33% silicon carbide are available in powder form or as crucibles. However, these materials and crucibles are porous and relatively fragile.
Under preferred conditions of practicing this invention to obtain a body of maximum density, it is preferred that the vapor temperature of the aluminum and nitrogen be maintained between 1800 and 2200 C., in that lower temperatures require too long a reaction time and also result in the formation of a coarse crystalline aluminum nitride in the pores of the silicon carbide, thereby interfering with the attainment of a composite body of maximum density. Unduly high temperatures cause vaporization of aluminum nitride from the pores of the silicon carbide and thus result in a body of greater porosity.
Metallographic examination of the composite SiC-AlN refractory, and also the use of photomicrographic and X-ray diffraction techniques, show that there are present SiC-AlN solid solutions of varying composition, as well as other complex phases, with the aluminum nitride growing within the pores of the silicon carbide on the internal surfaces. The composite of silicon carbide and aluminum nitride is structurally very stable, apparently because of the close similarities in properties of SiC and AlN and of crystal mixtures or solid solutions of SiC and AlN. For example, the thermal expansion coefiicient of silicon carbide in the temperature range 25100 C. is 4.8x 10- and for aluminum nitride in the same temperature range, 5.6 10- The aluminum nitride grows readily on the silicon carbide surface and adheres firmly to the surface because the two compounds have almost identical crystal structures. Each is of hexagonal structure, of the wurtzite type, and their lattice parameters and interatomic distances agree very closely.
Furthermore, the superior oxidation resistance of silicon carbide-aluminum nitride composites compared with the oxidation resistance of the individual compounds is apparently due to the nature of the oxide films which grow during oxidation under actual service condition. The oxide film on silicon carbide is silica, usually in the form of cristobalite, or sometimes silica glass, and this material has a thermal expansion much lower than that of the silicon carbide. For example, that of silica glass is approximately 0.5X10- On the other hand, the oxide film on aluminum nitride, which is alumina, has a thermal coefiicient of expansion that is much higher than that of the aluminum nitride, about 9 l0 But when the Sic-AlN composite or solid solution oxidizes, the oxide film formed is a glassy mixture of alumina and silica (SiO -Al O or the compound mullite (3Al -2SiO both of which have thermal expansions of approximately 5 X and hence very close to that of the base material. Thus the principal cause of oxidation failure, namely fragmentation of a protective oxide film caused by a poor match in thermal expansion between oxide and substrate, is eliminated in the refractory composite of SiC-AlN. Thus, the present invention provides a process for obtaining high density refractory bodies of improved strength and superior corrosion resistance.
The following examples illustrate this invention but are not to be construed as limitations thereof.
EXAMPLE 1 A porous body of silicon carbide consisting of a presintered pellet of 30% porosity is mounted in a graphite crucible above a pool of aluminum metal contained in the base of the crucible. A silicon carbide pellet inside the graphite crucible is maintained at a temperature of 1800 C. for 60 minutes inside of an induction-heated furnace, with nitrogen gas being maintained therein at a controlled pressure of 730 mm. A silicon carbide-aluminum nitride composite having a porosity of 13 volume percent is obtained.
4 EXAMPLE 2 Using the apparatus of Example 1, but with a silicon carbide pellet having a porosity of 40 volume percent, the reaction is conducted at a temperature of 2000 C. for 40 minutes at a nitrogen pressure of 650 mm. The porosity of the SiC-AlN composite obtained is 13 volume percent.
Two samples of to of theoretical density prepared in accordance with the process of this invention were compared with two representative silicon carbide samples with respect to resistance to corrosion. The silicon carbide and silicon carbide-aluminum nitride samples were oxidized in air at 1000 C. for a period ranging to 500 hours. It was found that the silicon carbide-aluminum nitride samples had slopes of 0.160 and 0.195 when the depth of oxidation (in microns) was plotted versus time (in hours). correspondingly, the silicon carbide samples had slopes of 0.213 and 0.275. Thus, from the lower slopes for the silicon carbide-aluminum nitride samples, the oxidation rate over long periods of time will be substantially less than that for silicon carbide. It should further be realized that in addition to the silicon carbide-aluminum nitride sample 'being superior to silicon carbide alone with respect to oxidation resistance, the principal advantageous effect expected under actual service conditions is also a greater resistance to spalling of the oxide film of the composite because of the much better thermal expansion match between the oxide film and the substrate.
According to the provisions of the patent statutes, I have explained the principle, preferred construction, and mode of operation of my invention and have illustrated and described what I now consider to represent its best embodiment. However, I desire to have it understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described.

First of all, "homophobic" is a derogatory word for anyone who doesn't absolutely love homosexuality. It is offensive and should be banned. I don't think the problem is with Christians who are being attacked, put out of business, sued, mocked and I guess now told that they aren't Christian enough simply because they don't choose not to participate in sexual perversion or celebrations of sexual perversion. And just a note about these cultural shifts taking place today in America, there are consequences that will come to bear from a moralless and corrupt society.

This is no different that a Republican going to the DNC and asking them to print t-shirts supporting Republican candidates. Of course they would refuse. They don't support Republicans and would not want to be forced to participate in Republican causes. So would the Republicans also have a federal case? Would the Democrats be sent to sensitivity training?

GLBT is a class of people that a anyone can choose or choose not be a part of. Therefor it cannot be a legally protected class of people. Comparing it to race is ignorant, You cannot choose what race you are. See the difference. This whole issue is about the government forcing people to participate, support a group of disgusting, disease spreading perverts and punishing anyone who opposes it. Religion should have nothing to do with it. A simple," I don't want to support perverts" should suffice.

Originally written on WHYGAVS? | Last updated 10/20/14
Yesterday afternoon, like two hours after I mused on Twitter about a Justin Wilson call-up to be used as a LOOGY down the stretch, the Pirates announced that Wilson would be moved to the bullpen. Given that Wilson throws hard as a reliever and that a lot of his control problems stem from his breaking stuff and that Tony Watson is occasionally homer-happy, having Wilson as an option down the stretch and maybe even on the (gulp) playoff roster would be pretty nice for the Pirates. This lead me to the next question; how, exactly, do playoff rosters work? This is not something that I've ever had a lot of time to worry about, as a Pirate fan. I've done some reading on it and there are a few things that need to be kept in mind when considering playoff rosters. The first is playoff roster eligibility. That's defined by the 25-man roster at midnight on August 31st, plus anyone else that's suspended, on the disabled list, the bereavement list, etc. For example, this would mea...

Notes from Apple's Q1 2013 Conference Call
During Apple's first quarter 2013 financial results conference call, Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer made a number of comments related to Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod businesses. The comments ranged from discussions of the iPhone 5 and iPad mini's sales and manufacturing constraints, to continued iPad cannibalization of Mac computer sales, to the Apple TV.
Additional details are available by clicking on the title of this article.
Cook welcomed participants to the call by reiterating record revenue, iPhone, and iPad sales.
He said "we've now sold well over half a billion iOS devices," ten per second last quarter.
Oppenheimer noted that revenue was up $8.2 billion year over year, over a period one week shorter than the year ago quarter.
On its data summaries for the quarter, Apple will treat mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong collectively as a region called Greater China going forward, given the major contribution it's making to the company's fortunes.
Hardware revenue will now be presented exclusive of service, software, and accessory revenue on data summaries for the quarter; accessory revenue is now its own category.
"We were very pleased to sell 47.8 million iPhones," they noted, which is almost 3.7 million iPhones per week. An average increase of 39% per week.
Apple experienced strong growth in all geographic segments, most notably China, where marketshare doubled year over year.
The company ended the quarter with about 10.6 million iPhones in channel inventory.
Many US government agencies, including NASA, are adopting iOS devices, whether they are replacing other systems or adding smartphones for the first time.
Over 1.7 million iPads were sold per week in the quarter, above IDC's estimates.
"We began and ended the quarter with about 3.4 million iPads in channel inventory."
iPod touch was a popular item in the holiday season, and continues to account for over half of iPods sold.
The iTunes Music Store was rolled out to 56 countries, to a total of 119 countries. 20 million songs are available for download. December saw over 2 billion app downloads, with more than 775,000 apps available, and half billion account holders. Apple later confirmed that there are now over 800,000 apps available.
Over 2 billion iMessages are sent per day.
During the Q&A session, both executives made several comments of interest.
When asked about competitive phones using larger screens as differentiators, Cook reiterated the iPhone 5 offers a new 4-inch Retina display, and Apple believes it picked the right size.
Cook noted iPhone 5 sales were constrained across the quarter, and sales went up with production. iPhone 4 was also in constraint during the quarter.
Cook: "I know there's been lots of rumors about order cuts and so forth… I would suggest it's good to question the accuracy of any kind of rumor about build plans." He said even if a data point is factual, it's impossible for an outsider to interpret what it means, given the number of suppliers Apple deals with, and the variations in demand, supply, and other factors there.
Apple was asked "how important is market share preservation?" and "is holding share in the smartphone market in 2013 a priority for Apple?" Cook responded that "the most important thing to Apple is to make the best products in the world that enrich customers lives… we're not interested in revenue for revenue's sake." With iPod, Apple does different products at different price points and is the market leader.
In discussing the drop in Mac sales, Cook said that "we could not build enough iPad minis to come into demand balance" and suggested iPads are cannibalizing Macs.
Asked about iOS 7 and new software, Cook didn't commit to an imminent new iOS version, but stated Apple feels great about what it has in store. In regards to Maps, the company will roll out even more improvements across the rest of the year, until it lives up to Apple's high standards. It's already improved imagery, information, and more. "The usage in Maps is significantly higher than it was prior to iOS 6," he said. Over 4 trillion notifications have been sent through Notification Center. Over 200 million users have registered for Game Center, and the company is considering what it can do to expand these services.
Oppenheimer restated that the iPad mini was constrained every week, and that the quarter ended with significant backlog. He said demand should be met in the March quarter.
When asked about how sales of individual iPhones are doing, Cook noted that the iPhone 5 has a similar mix compared to all iPhones as the iPhone 4S did when it was the top model last year.
Regarding Apple's product refresh cycle and whether this year would be more staggered, Cook said he wouldn't answer the question. "The number of ramps were unprecedented."
There was triple digit iPhone growth in China, and "very nice" growth for the iPad. iPhone point of sales were increased to over 17,000, up from 7,000.
In reference to Apple TV and the TV market: over two million Apple TVs were sold last quarter, more than any other quarter. It remains an area of intense interest. "There's a lot we can contribute in the space… but I don't want to be more specific."
In terms of new iPhone customers versus those upgrading, Cook said the iPhone 5 is selling to a lot of new customers, and would not comment on specific numbers.
Oppenheimer said "we would expect a large year over year increase in iPad sales, but a post-holiday sequential decline." Cook said there were strong sales of iPad and iPad mini for the last quarter. In a somewhat concerning response to a question regarding Apple forecasts, which were historically a single target number and very conservative, Oppenheimer noted that Apple is now providing a range of possible numbers that its results are predicted to fall within. As a result, its forecasts will not likely be as far below its actual numbers as before.
Asked about the tablet market versus the Mac and PC market, Cook stated: "I see cannibalization as a huge opportunity for us… on iPad in particular, we have the mother of all opportunities… I believe the tablet market will be larger than the PC market at some point." If someone buys an iPad or iPad mini as their first Apple product, a percentage will buy another type of Apple product, and the company is seeing some evidence of that with the iPad as well.
In reference to a question about the speed of LTE rollouts, Cook noted there are already 24 LTE carriers. 36 new carriers will be added next week, in countries not currently supporting LTE such as Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Philippines and several Middle Eastern countries.
Notably, Cook deflected a question about lower-priced iPhones.
