If you're looking for manga similar to Sundome, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
On the surface, Nana Chigusa appears to be a typical honor student, loved by the student council and her peers, and surrounded by admirers and friends. But deep down, even good girls need a way to blow off a little steam and de-stress, and for Nana, that means secretive, intense S&M sessions with Kaoru, a well-known pervert and her childhood friend. What experiences and pleasures await this unlikely pair?

I agree
Both of these series attempt to explain the S&M relationship. Nana to Kaoru reveals the more playful and practical style, while Sundome focuses on the deeper experiences that the term S&M entitles. While they seem different, they're sides of the same coin. If you like one, you should definitely attempt to read the other.
Nana and Sundome are about as borderline H as a manga can come. Each series has an intriguing bond between the two main characters. In Sundome, the female main controls and torments the male lead by not letting him "you know what". As for Nana, the male lead is the gateway for the female leads pleasure experiences. Nana and Sundome are extremely ecchi and, in Sundome's case, Very Explicit. Read em' both and prepare for awesomeness.
Nana to Kaoru and Sundome have a relatively unique theme for manga - S&M, though the genders have reversed roles in the two titles. Both are borderline H and quite explicit.
Two erotically charged manga that explore human relationships through sexual deviance. The characters are deeper in Sundome and the art more explicit, but if you liked either of these you will like the other.
What these two manga have in common is the research of a relationship, a bond different from the usual, to escape from everyday's life struggles: stress due to oppressive society and high expectations, relationships, health issues, family. The answer for both manga is BDSM. It's a recurring practice to fill the holes left by old scars, turned into a fetish.
Kido Tatsuhiko moved to Tokyo to attend an art school and start his new life. In his new room, there's a small hole in the wall. At first he can see nothing through the small hole, but one night, through the peeping hole, he saw a girl. That's how his new life starts.

Two titles that deal with mature fetishes (voyeurism and S&M type stuff), which are quite explicit. If you liked one, you'd surely like the other.
I like to think Nozoki Ana as a lighter version of Sundome , I find both MC characters really similar and in both series MC girl manipulates MC boy , Most of the time ending up in sexual situations.
Another great pair of manga that probe the depths of human sexual depravity as a way of looking at love and relationships. The unequal power dynamic (female over male) and explicit art in both will make them enjoyable for the lover of either one.
Daikichi is the epitome of unlucky. He's just lost his job, and what's worse, he unknowingly moves into an apartment where a girl once committed suicide. Though as luck would have it, he discovers that she's still floating around, and is a lovely, kind ghost – the kind of ghost that Daikichi quickly falls in love with, physical body or not. Together, the two live day to day, having sex at every opportunity, and slowly falling deeper and deeper into love.

If you're looking for a borderline H title that revolves around sex (or in Sundome's case, stopping just short of it), these two titles are for you.
Both Itoshi no Kana and Sundome have some erotic(Itoshi no Kana) or s&m(Sundome) related scenes. In both history revolves around unconfident/dissapointed in life guy who meets a girl and after that everything starts to change.
Every day after school, the quiet and introverted student Kurosawa goes into the empty girls bathroom and "relieves himself". Besides this extremely odd ritual, Kurosawa also has a thirst for justice and a judgmental attitude towards his classmates. Upon seeing the bullying of an awkward girl in his class by two of the "popular" girls, he decides to bring justice to the bullies the only way he knows how. His plan for revenge goes "just as planned" until met by an unsuspected accomplice.

I agree
Onani Master lacks Sundome's nearly-nonstop and over-the-top ecchi, but both are coming of age stories about nerdy anti-social guys, cute popular girls, and masturbation. Fans of one may enjoy the other (especially Sundome -> Onani Master. Some Onani Master fans may not be down for all the fetish-y ecchi of Sundome).
Further you read , The deeper and darker it gets.
Similar atmosphere and lots of sexual stuff going on.
Onani Master is serious from very start while Sundome has some comedy elements. (not much though)
Takao Kasuga is a lonely boy who spends his days immersed in books to escape his frustration with life. His only source of joy is the beautiful Saeki, who he secretly admires from afar. However, Takao's obsession goes too far one day when, in a moment of emotional folly, he steals the girl's gym clothes and takes them home with him. Worse, his terrible deed is spotted by Sawa Nakamura, a mysterious outcast who sits behind him in class who threatens to reveal the boy's secret unless he promises to engage in a contract with her. At first it seems Sawa just wants some companionship, but soon it becomes clear that this "contract" involves more than mere afternoon chats. In fact, Takao is about to discover just how dangerous his bond with Sawa is and how it threatens to tear everything - his life, his love, and even his sanity - apart.
2 votes
I agree
Sundome is hyper-ecchi, unlike The Flowers of Evil, but both series are about a dweeby teenage guy who ends up in a twisted, S&M relationship with a sadistic female classmate. If you liked the femdom, or dark psychological themes of one of these titles, check out the other.
The relationships the protagonists share in these two stories are similar. However, while the relationship between the two in Sundome is sexually and psychologically exausting, the relationship in Aku no hana is simply psychologically exausting ( but it is not simple by all means)

Businesses Struggle With Changing Revenue Management Standards
Market demand is also leading to the adoption of new billing models, supported by more advanced software and technology.Chief financial officers (CFOs) and senior management teams are reassessing their revenue management practices and technology in response to shifting market conditions that demand new billing models. That's according to a FinancialForce and IMA survey of 6,000 accountants and financial professionals worldwide. Market demand is also leading to the adoption of new billing models, supported by more advanced software and technology, the survey found. The most common trigger of change in revenue recognition methods is billing models, followed by top management decisions, better software and changes to revenue recognition standards. "It's shocking that companies are still turning to spreadsheets to manage the financial health of their organizations," Raphael Bres, general manager of Financial Management at FinancialForce, told eWEEK. "Not only are they error-prone, but they require a lot of legwork on the part of the finance team. And they certainly don't equip a company to pursue rapid growth, given that the financial systems are fragile, complex and unable to scale quickly. There's no way around it: The fragility and complexity of spreadsheets make them inadequate to handle today's billing and accounting needs."
The good news, he said, is that strong revenue management applications are on the rise, and the data predicts this shift to continue.

Smooth Saxman Unveils Harmonic Heat and Stretches Style
Deeper, New York singer-saxophonist-pianist Pete Belasco's second album, floats a magnetic set of vintage vibes. Throughout most of the collection Belasco works primarily with co-producer and guitarist JK (not of England's Jamiroquai), smoothly exhaling composed r&b ballads such as "Hurry Hurry," "Keep On," and "Wonderful Woman" in the manner of Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, and other close-mic'd soul guns. Elsewhere, Belasco plays fastidiously schooled sax instrumentals like a pop-soul fan imagining Sonny Rollins. In both cases, Belasco's songwriting places a high premium on melodynot applied to hit-mongering, diva-making, or campfire singing, but uncorked with a casually profound awareness of how melody permits long moments of backlit phrasing, how it can expose lightly shadowed harmonic fires.
The music is challenging to describe, yet easy to hear. This is doubly true because Belasco and JK encase all their r&b recitations, all their Kenny G and David Sanborn reversals, in the sort of lushly contoured, woody, screechlessly digital soundscape that was groundbreaking when Sade debuted in 1984. But because Belasco steadies such an essentialized grip on Deeper, decades of stylistic and technological ecstasies cohere and expand. Many enterprising neo-soul renovators push slick new collections for contemporary interiors. Only, Belasco steals in, fires the contractors, and whispers to the homeowners: "You need this."

Best service I have ever had from a garage. Amazing customer service and nothing was too much. I won't be taking my car anywhere else. Highly recommend them.
Fantastic service and a great job. Friendly and professional, they kept me informed of progress and I had absolute confidence in them. My Jaguar needs a similar job and I will be using Autobahn for that as well. Highly recommended.
Excellent service, very helpful guys. Would certainly recommend
I felt it was necessary to mention that the experience dealing with Autobahn in Maldon was as pleasurable as these things can be (breakdowns aren't pleasurable). They did a great job, went out of their way to get the car to the garage and back to me as soon as they could (eventually dropping it off, which I found extremely helpful). They also kept me informed all the time. I knew what was happening and felt that the car was in good hands. The additional amount (over the quoted amount was for the recovery of the vehicle). Highly recommended.
Excellent customer service, garage went out their way to help out and recover vehicle and have repaired by the following morning. Would definitely recommend! Thank you !
Brilliant! Really really good garage!

For those of you who wish you could just sleep away your excess weight, it is time to sit up and take note.
While reading through the morning headlines the recently, I was intrigued by the caption above one of the featured articles. It read: "Nightmare of too little sleep: It is tied to too much weight!"
In a nutshell, the article claimed that "If you want to lose weight, get more sleep."
This information was the result of research done at Columbia University in a study conducted regarding the relationship between sleep patterns and obesity. Their results were reported last week at the annual meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity in Las Vegas.
Among their findings were the following discoveries:
- People who sleep two to four hours a night are 73 percent more likely to be obese than normal sleepers.
- Those who get five hours of sleep are 50 percent more likely to be obese.
- Those who sleep six hours were 23 percent more likely to be obese.
- Those who get 10 or more hours are 11 percent less likely to be obese.
According to lead researcher James E. Gangwisch, "Getting more sleep actually had a protective effect against obesity." He goes on to say that even though the study does not "prove cause and effect, it's an association," this research confirms other studies of children and adolescents that show the same relationship between sleep and obesity.
The underlying theory here is that lack of sleep may have an impact on a variety of hormones that affect appetite and food intake like "leptin and ghrelin," according to this research. So just when you thought you would have to move it to lose it, we now find that you can snooze it to lose it.
Don't get me wrong, exercise and diet are critical to successful and long-term weight management. But doesn't it do your heart good to know that simply sleeping more can help as well?
Makes me want to grab my blankey and go lose some weight. Unfortunately, it's not that easy, but anything that is simple, cheap and non-invasive gets a big thumbs up from me.
So the next time you think you might want to lose a couple of extra pounds, just close your eyes and sleep on it.

Steelers Defensive End takes a lot of heat for his performance in the Steelers defense. He gets compared to Aaron Smith and no one likes the fact that he does not put up the numbers that Smith put up. Hood is not Smith and nor will he ever be. Smith was the perfect 5 tech defensive end. He ate up blockers and still made his way to the QB. The man had an outstanding all around game. He is a once in a generation player. Smith is the best 3-4 defensive end of his era. You can not be mad at Hood for not being that guy.
While Hood is not Smith he has played above average as defensive end. He is just now finishing his third year in the position. He had to transition to the position and we have all heard over and over how people need 3 years to be comfortable. Hood seemed to get comfortable this season. He may have made fewer plays for the team but he also took up more blockers. He made holes for his teammates and gave them the ability to make plays. He opened up to the fact that his role is not to be the splash player.
Hood did not get to start right away. Aaron Smith was the starter at the beginning of last season. Smith while a legend was one of the reasons that the defense struggled early. Smith was being pushed all over the field. His age and his injuries held him back. Smith was not the same guy that he used to be. Smith was allowed to stay in even though he was not effective. Hood would have spent the entire year on the bench if Smith would not have been injured. The Steelers defense would have struggled right a long with him.
With Hood taking to his role different aspects of the Steelers defense improved. Hood's strength helped the Steelers run defense improve. The Steelers were giving up 4.78 yards per carry and 119.5 yards per game with Smith in to 3.74 yards per carry and 93.25 yards per game. That is over 1 yard less per rush once Hood entered the game. That yards per game average would have given the Steelers the 3rd best rush defense in the NFL.
The Steelers also gave up 2 100 yard rushers in the first four games. In the last 12 they only gave up one. That was in a blow out win over the Rams. Stephen Jackson worked his way over 100 yards in that game. The defense really improved against the run with Hood on the field. Smith just could not hold up anymore. It was sad but it was easy to see.
Another person who can attest to Hood's on field play was LaMarr Woodley. Woodley started off the season slow in the statistical categories. In the first four games Woodley only had 1.5 sacks. He was spending much of his time working against the run before being able to pass rush. He was covering for Smith. He was unable to play his true game. He could not really rush the passer the way he wanted to. He had to make sure it was not a run before he could head towards the QB. It caused him to struggle.
When Hood came in the game Woodley had a player that he knew could hold up against the run. It gave Woodley the ability to do what he does best. Crush the quarterback. Before his injury Woodley played 4 games with Hood. During that time Woodley had 7.5 sacks. He had at least 1.5 in each game. Woodley was a ball of fire. He was a different player when Hood was in the game. Woodley was on the way to a possible Defensive Player of the Year before he got hurt.
So while Hood may not be the best 5 tech in the league. He may not be Aaron Smith. His value is being taken for granted. Hood can play and he is doing his job. He is making it easy for others to make plays. He will continue to progress and we will be better for it.

Lindsey Vonn net worth: Lindsey Vonn is an American Olympic skier who has a net worth of $3 million. Lindsey Vonn has won two Olympic medals, including one gold medal during her career. Her net worth is testament to her success in the highly competitive world of athletic skiing, as is her high name recognition relative to other Olympic skiers. Vonn's skiing career hit its first big break at the young age of 15, when she became the first American female to take home the first place trophy at Italy's Trofeo Topolino. From there, it was only a matter of time before Olympic stardom was hers. She made her Olympic debut in 2002, and since then she has proceeded to rack up the Olympic medals and other accolades. For instance, in 2010, she was named Sportswoman of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards. All in all, her Olympic showings combined with her victories at the skiing World Championships make her the most successful American skier in the entire history of the sport. As would be expected, this success has made her quite a celebrity by alpine skiing standards, appearing on late night TV talk shows such as The Late Show with David Letterman, among other public appearances.

LeMons 300ZX driver and artist Walker Canada has worked his magic on my original design, and it looks great! Why, even E30 pilots were eager to have the new Noch Ein Scheiß-E30 ("Yet Another Shitty E30") stencil applied to their rides.

Neuheisel: No quick fixes for Bruins
PASADENA — Rick Neuheisel turned and surveyed an almost empty Rose Bowl at the end of Arizona's 31-10 victory Saturday afternoon, the enormity of the hole he and the Bruin program find themselves in finally hitting him squarely.
"There is not, I don't think, a quick fix solution to this," Neuheisel admitted later.
Indeed, Saturday's dismal performance raised the likelihood that UCLA's problems are too vast to be fixed this season, that it could be well into the 2009 before Neuheisel and his staff find the solutions — and the players — to free the Bruin program from the wreckage of the Karl Dorrell experiment.
As UCLA wilted in the fourth quarter against an unimpressive Arizona squad that lost to New Mexico, 36-28, the week before it was clear that between the season-opening upset of then-No. 18 Tennessee and last week's 59-0 pounding at Brigham Young, the latter was truer indicator of UCLA's immediate future.
In less than three weeks, the Bruins have gone from giant killers, a team that the university's marketing department would have you believe was ready to wrest control of the city away USC and college football's program of the decade, to a team so desperate to latch onto anything resembling improvement that holding Arizona to 31 points is considered progress in Westwood.
Failing to score a touchdown for the second consecutive game, UCLA's offense is beyond spin doctoring.
"I take it personally that we haven't scored in two weeks," Bruin quarterback Kevin Craft said. "It's a reflection of everyone on this team. It's a reflection on me a lot."
More than anything the past two weeks are a reflection of the sad state of the program Neuheisel has inherited.
"There's only one way to fix things that are broken and that's for everyone to pick up a shovel and start working to that end," Neuheisel said.
The problem for UCLA is that Neuheisel doesn't have the talent to do the heavy lifting required to make a dent in even this year's significantly weakened Pac-10. Right about now would be a good time to cancel those Las Vegas Bowl plans.
For all of the cute UCLA marketing that has done Neuheisel no favors, in truth the talent gap between Westwood and Tailback U. has perhaps never been greater.
Between injuries and past poor recruiting decisions, UCLA is so devoid of Pac-10 caliber talent on offense that offensive coordinator Norm Chow has had no choice but to go vanilla, which is not unlike giving Jackson Pollack with bucket of white and a picket fence. Truth be told, none of the Bruins that took the field against Arizona Saturday on either side of the ball could have cracked the starting lineup for the 2000 Washington team Neuheisel led to a share of the Pac-10 title and a Rose Bowl victory against Purdue. Other than an Oct. 4 game with a Washington State team might be the worst in Pac-10 history, the Bruins have inferior talent to every team left on the 2008 schedule.
Much of what talent UCLA does have is young. The Bruins played 14 freshmen, starting three, and 10 sophomores Saturday, and should get even younger as the season progresses and Neuheisel increasingly turns his attention to long-term remedies. UCLA started three sophomores at center and left and right guard, the heart of the offensive line, Saturday. Between them they had one previous career start.
If Neuheisel is to return UCLA to a place of prominence he will need major contributions from some of the reported 95 recruits who were at the Rose Bowl Saturday. The sales pitch is easy. Want to play right away? How about next Saturday?
"The kind of kid that is attracted to that is the kind of kid we need," Neuheisel said.
In the meantime, UCLA will have stop wasting what few chances it has on offense if it wants to avoid going 2-10. Saturday a Craft quarterback sneak on fourth down kept alive an 11-play drive into Arizona territory. But a dropped pass and followed by another poorly thrown incompletion, the Bruins were back in punt formation.
"We aren't in that place athletically that is going to let us get big chunks of field position back so it becomes a very tenuous situation we find ourselves in," Neuheisel said, "but one we're going to dig our way out."
As Neuheisel and Co. pick up their shovels this week they can only hope that they've at least found rock bottom.

Hello guys. I want to share my opinion regarding these two units. If you're considering these two, you'll find this thread helpful. I'm a trained musician. I have perfect pitch.
I have both R10 and HM901. I have concluded that HM901 sounds far inferior to R10.
To me, it sounds like HM901's sound is very much reduced in quality and detail compared to R10's.
I have played lots of 24bit / 192 khz classical records, soundtracks, electronic music, etc. R10 sounds at least twice more detailed and refined. HM901 boosts unwanted frequency range such as background noises. Its sound stage isn't bigger than that of R10. It doesn't give you true representation of instrumentation and arrangement of musical pieces. I would say it sounds rather congested and deducted compared to R10.
Also, HM901's UI isn't that superior to R10's. It still has bugs and it's too simple.
I decided to turn back my HM 901. It simply doesn't worth $999. I would keep it if it was $300. For $999, they could have done much better job with current technology. Its price tag is utter nonsense. I work in a music studio and have gathered reference monitors and headphones through many years. From that experience, I can tell you that HM 901 is even bad for reference. It doesn't meet that qualification. You can't really rely on sound of HM 901. This is not how music truly sounds. R10 is closer. R10 can be used for reference.
To my ears, it sounds like people who made HM 901 have never attended classical music concert nor truly enjoy music. They haven't heard how musical instruments truly sound in an ensemble. If they have played music in an ensemble at least once, they can't come up with something like this. Non of music engineers would call this a reference music device. HM901 sounds better than iPod Classic or other cheaper mp3 players, but it's still hard to think of paying $999 for that. R10 is about $650.
Here's my verdict:
Buy R10 if you want true high quality, refined sound and big sound stage. If you're a musician and looking for a reference quality music player, don't buy HM901. It will certainly be a waste of time and money. I will never buy anything from Hifiman again till they make something radically different.
Sound quality wise, R10 is still the best. I haven't heard AK240 yet.

We established a position in Resona (TSE:8308), the largest Japanese regional bank, at a price of ¥547,representing 0.8x book value and 8x earnings. Resona was formed through the 2002-2003merger and recapitalization of three local banks in the Tokyo and Osaka regions. As part of thatrecapitalization, the Japanese government bought a majority equity stake. Under newmanagement, the bank cleaned up its balance sheet, began paying back the government stake,and has been profitable every year since, reaching a 13% ROE last year. In 2013, managementannounced a five-year plan to buy out the remaining government shareholding. Due to strongerthan expected earnings, that plan is well ahead of schedule, and the company is buying backstock from the government at very attractive valuations. The accretion from the buyback doesnot appear to be reflected in analyst models. With the more volatile international Japanese bankstrading at 9x EPS, and its peer regionals at 13x EPS, Resona is cheap on both an absolute andrelative basis. Resona shares ended the quarter at ¥499.Continue Reading »
David Einhorn (Trades, Portfolio)'s Greenlight Capital (NASDAQ:GLRE) has recently released a preliminary proposal in which the business could acquire a small ethanol company called BioFuel Energy (BIOF). As a result, BioFuel's shares have soared in after hours trading, showing an increase of more than 50%. Before this, David Einhorn (Trades, Portfolio) added Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) to his portfolio. The DRAM maker will likely release its quarterly results on Thursday in which the company could post significant improvements in its revenues and income.
Greenlight Capital has proposed to purchase the biofuel developer through a $275 million transaction, which involves cash and equity. In a letter addressed to BioFuel's board, David Einhorn (Trades, Portfolio) and Jim Brickman of JBGL Funds said, "We believe that this proposal provides an opportunity for the Company and its stockholders to acquire an interest in a business with long term equity potential and an attractive portfolio of assets"Continue Reading »

We closed out positions in Airbus Group (XPAR:AIR), formerly known as the European Aeronautic Defence& Space Company (France: EADS), and ThyssenKrupp (Germany: TKA)
We bought the shares in EADS during a sell-off in response to the company's unpopular proposal to buy BAE Systems in 2012. EADS ultimately abandoned the merger and insteadrepurchased a lot of stock while also reorganizing its corporate structure to reduce the influenceof several government shareholders. The shares rallied and we sold for a nice gain. We also bought TKA shares in 2012. Though management made significant progress in restructuring thecompany, a difficult external environment meant that asset sales and cash flow generation fellshort of their hopes and ours. We exited with a very small lossContinue Reading »
APC (NYSE:APC) is a global exploration and production company with a high-quality upstream portfolio comprised of U.S. onshore resources, deep-water Gulf of Mexico assets, and interests in other high-potential oil and gas basins around the world. The company also owns 91% of Western Gas Equity Partners (WGP), a publicly traded master limited partnership created in 2012 to hold APC's limited and general partner interests in Western Gas Partners (WES). In mid-December the company suffered a legal setback stemming from its 2006 acquisition of oil and gas assets from Kerr-McGee, whose titanium dioxide unit went bankrupt. With APC facing potential damages of $14 billion or $5 billion, investors dumped the shares, which we then acquired at an average cost of $78.55. Assuming a worst-case legal outcome, APC's core valuation net of its stake in WGP and its interest in an undeveloped, but valuable prospect in Mozambique, is less than 4x EBITDA. This is cheap compared to peers that lack APC's valuable upstream assets and exciting exploration prospects, but nonetheless trade at higher valuations. Our legal analysis suggests that the ultimate payment is likely to be the lesser of the two amounts and will be partly tax deductible. APC shares ended the quarter at $79.32.
From David Einhorn (Trades, Portfolio)'s fourth quarter 2013 commentary.Continue Reading »
We established a position in BP (NYSE:BP) at an average price of $47.39. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was nearly four years ago. Since then, investors have focused on the ensuing legal cases regarding clean-up and restitution efforts, while overlooking BP's improved return on capital inits core businesses. Allowing for more negative legal outcomes than BP has currently provisioned, we believe the company's net asset value (NAV) is nearly $70 per share. It can therefore create substantial value by selling assets at or above NAV and using the income torepurchase stock at a significant discount. This is exactly what BP has been doing. Further, BP has restricted capital expenditures and increased dividends – all evidence of a more shareholder-friendly approach. As the legal issues subside, we expect the market to appreciate BP's portfolio value and its improved capital allocation. In the meantime, we own an industry leader at 9x earnings with a 5% dividend yield. BP shares ended the quarter at $48.61.

MU (NASDAQ:MU) is a manufacturer of semiconductor memory chips (DRAM and NAND flash). This isn't our first go-round with MU; it was a large short position from January 2001 to February 2005. Back then, DRAM was a lousy industry with too many competitors selling an undifferentiated product, often below cost. In the first quarter of 2001 when the shares were trading in the low $40s we wrote:
MU is valued at 6.5x current run-rate revenues and, today, generates no profits. In its best year ever (fiscal 2000), MU recorded $2.52 per share of earnings, making the current price 17x the peak earnings of a cyclical, commodity manufacturer. In the previous two years, MU lost money.Continue Reading »
Greenlight Re investor David Einhorn (Trades, Portfolio) disclosed in his fourth quarter letter today new positions in Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), BP plc (NYSE:BP) and Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC).
Einhorn described the position in Micron as "large" and the BP and Anadarko purchased as "medium-sized." The long Micron position actually signals a reversal of a large prior short position Greenlight took from January 2001 to February 2005. That position was immensely profitable. During the period Einhorn held the short position, Micron's share price plunged about 74%.Continue Reading »

With the iDisk app, you can view supported files like documents, PDFs, even stream music and movies (provided they're in the right formats, natch) and remotely delete stuff from your iDisk. An annoying quirk, though, is that you have to dive into every folder individually to get it to refresh and show any new files. Document and PDF viewing work perfectly. With music and movies, the better the connection, the better the streaming experience, though don't expect to stream your whole iTunes library over it—it's a one song at a time kind of deal. And the movie file support is finicky, to say the least. But when it works, it's pretty nice. Advertisement Advertisement The strong point of the iPhone app as a manager is that it makes it incredibly easy to share files—go to the file you want to share, click the little wireless icon, and you can email a link to it with an expiration date you set. It also has a bookmark list of your friends' public folders, you can quickly get back to them.Bottom line, Air Sharing has nothing to worry about. Besides requiring a MobileMe account, you can't upload files to your iDisk from the iPhone, or store any of them locally, which is what really gimps the app. I'd hope that Apple would expand its capabilities, but my suspicion is that they don't actually want you to store files on your iPhone or browse through them like you would on a regular computer—it's a conceptual line they don't want to cross, so we've got a viewer with great interface here, nothing more.Reply23 repliesLeave a reply
