I hate fingerprints on my display. Everybody does. I touch it just as normally as everyone would, but later on, I can see my fingerprints in there. It's a huge disaster for me. Yes, I know it's glass, and glass gets smudges naturally, but this is Apple. With Apple, anything is possible. And I think they should definitely do some mad scientist research about this issue. I really hate the sight of fingerprints in there, they should reduce it (if they can't completely remove it) to 90%. Other than that, the audio is also horrible. I know the speakers are meant for "Casual Listening", but I want more than that. Again, they can do this. I need a louder speaker. And the loop? It's the weakest thing ever. That thing is probably taken from some old boxes, added some text that says "Designed by Apple in California". I was using it normally and it was already ruined in 2 days. Did I mention how much a new one costs? It costs a freaking For some low-quality loop, they charge for it? How dare they! This is extremely overpriced, do they think their customers are stupid enough not to notice that? This isn't even worth ! Panorama isn't clear. Try zooming in. It isn't as clear as I thought it would be. What sort of camera did they even put in there? EarPods that came with it. How could you not put a remote on them? Where's the remote? It's the 2nd most important thing about headphones and it's missing? Does it really kill them to just put some remote on it? And it's thinness. Is it just me or do I feel that the 4th generation is thinner than this? And battery life. I'm not complaining about it, but it could certainly use some improvements. If it weren't for these complaints, the iPod touch would be the best portable gaming device ever. It has amazing graphics, and I love a lot of things about it. What are your thoughts?
Fingerprints - clean with a cloth Audio - Use external speakers Loop - The iPod comes with a loop Panorama - Not tested this Earpod Remote - Not necessary 99% of the time. Older iPods didn't come with a remote. Thinness - It is now the perfect size with a case on. Battery Life - Welcome to 2012 IMO the iPod touch 5G is nigh on perfect. It just needs a jailbreak, 3G and GPS.
Fingerprints - Just get a screen protector for like $3 Speakers - Use headphones or external speakers if you really have to have high quality sound Loop - Maybe yours was flawed because I haven't heard of anyone breaking theirs before Panorama - The camera is just a few milimeters thick, you can't expect it to be DSLR-quality. Remote - I'm a little mad about that too, I'll admit. Thinness - It might feel thicker because the edges aren't rounded, but it's a little thinner than the thickest part of the 4th generation Battery Life - According to the tech specs, they added a whole hour of video playback life. It's not easy improving battery life without sacrificing thinness and weight.
Compared to the 4g, the 5g does reduce it by perhaps 90%. I have yet to wipe my 5g's screen because fingerprints are interfering with the actual display of information. Sorry, but laws of physics apply here. A tiny speaker will never sound good. The important thing is how it sounds with headphones and Airplay. <snip> Your whining grew far too tedious to keep reading it.
Look like you are not meant for Ipod touch. Touch screen device required TOUCHING the screen, so it leaves finger print!!!
Of course people use the new earpods. Why wouldn't they? They provide a very good fit for most people. So you tossed yours in the trash rather than recycling them? I wouldn't brag about that.
That is the nature of the beast when it comes to "touch" devices... Might as well get used to it. No screen protector in the world will reduce fingerprints to "none"... Even Apple can't always pull rabbits out of their hats. I feel the speaker is adequate for watching Netflix and such. Much better than the one found in previous versions of the device. If you need better speakers, you do have the option of purchasing external or earbuds. Oh and fyi, the new ipt 5g comes with earphones. This one I totally agree with you on. I looked at the loop and it instantly went back into the ipt glass case. It definitely feels and looks cheap. But, I really don't care about this accessory. I had the 4g and now the 5g... The 5g is DEFINITELY thinner! Battery life is fine for me! Not perfect, but none of my ipt devices have been stellar. Try shutting down some of the running apps in the background. Sorry you're not totally happy with the device. Lucky for you, I hear that the ipt 7g is going to be perfect!
If the OP is so unhappy with the iPod Touch 5, why doesn't he get rid of it and buy whatever else he wants?
Buy a stylus! They come cheap online, even in packs of 3. Because no one makes a non-touchscreen version of the iPod Touch.
Ok. The sound quality is not great with any stock earbuds, but in the end they're still earbuds of a certain quality. They're perfectly good for podcasts, talk radio, voip, facetime, etc. And they're especially good for when you're out and about because you have no fear of them getting damaged by rain, snow, cold or hot weather, etc. All in all, they are not completely worthless or worth trashing immediately. The smart thing to do would be to sell em just below retail price. Put that money towards your good cans or other accessories!
It's an informed opinion: compared with a £200 or £300 set, they are woeful. Compared even with a £30 set they're still pretty bad hence not worth keeping.
I'm not sure how you have come to appoint yourself as the arbiter of sound quality for the planet, but as I said before: That's your opinion. The opinions of those who like and use them are just as valid as yours. All that's of any consequence is that people enjoy what they have.
Sound quality, response, range and impedence are fact, not opinion, and similarly priced alternatives are, in fact, better on those grounds.
And in that price range - £30 or $40 dollars there are any number of iems that out-perform the earpods, this is going by objective sound quality, not opinion.
I have a friend that actually bought a pair of the new Apple headphones I didn't have the heart to tell him they were overpriced...
I'd sooner Apple didn't bundle any buds with their ipods; instead they could take the dollar or so these cost to produce and pack off the price of their devices.

Welcome to My Social Game Plan
Your One-Stop-Shop for All Things Digital Marketing
What's up!? I'm Jonathan Payne, Founder and Author of My Social Game Plan, where I've spent the last six years writing about digital marketing in an effort to help brands and marketers stay on top of the rapidly-evolving marketing landscape.
If you're curious about how social media can help grow your business, but aren't sure where to start, you've come to the right place.
My Social Game Plan is your one-stop-shop for all things digital marketing, with a heavy emphasis on social media.
My goal here is simple: you should walk away knowing a little bit more about social media marketing and understand how to work that knowledge into a broader digital marketing strategy for your business.
Below you'll find my free Social Media Starter Kit. Take a look and feel free to reach out with questions!
What's a social game plan?
Think of a social media strategy as your offensive and defensive game plan entering a sports match.
Social Media Offense
Offense is taking the initiative to score. In social, think of offense as the content you create, the brand story you tell, and the conversations you actively start. That could be…
- Sharing your latest blog post on Facebook
- Tweeting at a prospective customer to start a conversation with them
- Holding a contest or giveaway for your fans
- Creating a video that provides a solution to a common problem your customers experience
Social Media Defense
Defense is preventing the other team from scoring. In social, defense equates to anything that helps protect your reputation. That could be things like…
- Replying to a customer's tweet to resolve a negative experience they had with your company
- Monitoring customer conversations on social and noting their pain points, so you can provide a solution
- Managing online reviews to address negative feedback and highlight positive feedback
Social Media Starter Kit
Social media is a big, sometimes confusing arena.
But with a few handy tools and an understanding of what people expect from your company, you'll be making leaps in no time.
Get your hands dirty using the social media starter kit below…
Your Website and Blog
Your website and blog are home plate. Every single social media initiative you take should ultimately drive people back to your website, where you control the customer's entire experience.
While there are free options like Tumblr or WordPress.com, they come with disadvantages.
- You won't have a dedicated domain name with any free service, which raises questions about your credibility.
- You'll have far fewer design and customization options.
- Free means your website could flat out disappear if the platform goes away or makes changes that don't favor your business.
My suggestion — and what we do here at My Social Game Plan — is build on WordPress.org (different from WordPress.com).
This allows you to self-host your website, so you have more credibility, you have unlimited customization options, and nobody can undercut your website overnight.
The Best Website Hosting Provider
I've used a few different domain and hosting providers over the years and, so far, Namecheap takes the cake. I've had zero downtime and their customer support has been awesome.
Namecheap speaks for itself — would you ever guess they have affordable domain names and hosting?
I know, shocking.
You'll have an easy time setting up WordPress once you've bought a domain and their support team will take great care of you if you run into trouble getting started.
Choosing Social Media Channels for Your Business
Every time you turn around, a new social network or social mobile app is taking the world by storm.
On one hand, you can't and probably shouldn't be everywhere all the time, but on the other hand, you never want to miss an opportunity to listen to and engage with fans of your brand.
So, solving the problem of choosing the right social media channels is crucial. Let's do a quick rundown of today's popular social networks…
With a solid idea of what each social network offers, you can narrow down where to put most of your attention and effort. Think about your ideal customers:
- Are they B2B or B2C?
- Are they on the younger end of the age spectrum?
- Are they visual and creative?
- Are they more likely to watch a video or read?
After you've established who you want to reach, pick 2-3 networks as your main focus. Don't worry too much about your selection, just make an educated choice. You can always expand your social presence if one channel isn't working.
You're ready to roll once you've chosen a few areas to focus. Now, let's create some content!
Creating a Social Content Calendar
If you've ever taken a stab at social media marketing and fell off the wagon, you're not alone.
Consistently posting high-quality, unique, and engaging content is a tough task.
There are a few reasons a social media content calendar will help you save time and your sanity…
- Social media has lots of moving parts. On any given day, you might be updating four or five social networks with different content. That's tough to track mentally.
- We all get busy. With a content calendar, you'll organize and create your content in bulk ahead of time. This keeps you from inevitably skip updating some days.
- Consistency is the key to social media success and planning your content ahead of time is the key to consistency. A calendar helps you stick to your strategy!
With that said, let's get to the good stuff!
Below is a link to download an awesome content calendar template from Hootsuite (scroll down to #4 on their list).
Scheduling Social Media Updates
It's no secret that social media is time consuming and scheduling updates can go a long way in helping.
Worth noting, scheduling updates isn't a "set it and forget it" strategy.
Instead, it's a way to keep yourself organized and free a little more time, so you can start conversations and handle any issues with your followers in real-time, without losing track of your overall social media strategy.
There are tons of social media scheduling tools out there, but Buffer is by far my favorite.
From how easy it is to set up a schedule and start posting to their awesome support team and culture, Buffer tops the charts in all aspects.
I always recommend Buffer as a key element to a successful social media strategy. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Pro tip: learn how you can automate your Twitter updates using Buffer!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of SYMRISE AG (SYIEY) are down -2.67% to $12.02. The German scents and flavors group will purchase France's Diana Group for $1.8 billion, including debt, to narrow the gap on top rival Givaudan SA (GVDNY), and expand in natural ingredients and pet food, Reuters reports.
Symrise CEO Heinz-Juergen Bertram said the firm would likely finance the deal through a 10% capital increase, and a mix of debt and equity.

Ex-girlfriend of poker champ gets 3½ years in jail
LONGUEUIL, Quebec — The ex-girlfriend of poker champion Jonathan Duhamel has been sentenced to 3½ years in jail for the home invasion, assault and robbery of her former boyfriend.
Bianca Rojas-Latraverse pleaded guilty to three of the five charges — kidnapping, breaking and entering, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
She has spent 1½ years behind bars and will have a maximum of two years left followed by three years' probation. She was sentenced by Judge Anne-Marie Jacques.
Duhamel won $9 million at the 2010 World Series of Poker. He was attacked Dec. 21, 2011, at his condominium outside Montreal. Men barged through his door and beat him before stealing a gold watch, his poker championship bracelet and $115,000 in different currencies.
Two other suspects, Anthony Bourque and John Clark-Lemay, await trial. Another suspect, Andres Valderrama, pleaded guilty.

10 swoon-worthy bookshelves
Do you like books? I do. I have quite the obsession and every time we have to move house my boyfriend gives me multiple scowls as he loads box after box onto a trolley and lugs them through rooms, down stairs, along paths and into other rooms. "Ugh. It's heavy, man."
I have hundreds of books. My favourites are cookbooks, books about creativity or craft and vintage children's books. They're dotted all over our house in various shelves and I look at one or two every single day. A great book is like a tonic, to me. It's a source of comfort and inspiration and it usually marks the time in my life when I bought it, so it's a kind of memory sparker too!
If you love books, you probably get giddy at the sight of a library, or a book shop or even bookshelves. Yes? There's something comforting about the reliable look, smell, even feel of a book that can't be beat. Books can tell you things. Books can take you places. Books can make everything alright. If you bundle all that telling and taking and alright-ness into one room, the results are completely fabulous and utterly happy-making.
For you, I give you many beautiful bookshelves! Go forth and gaze upon their radness!
Are you into books? Do bookshelves like these make you weak at the knees?

Microsoft and Intel announce their support for HD DVD
The HD Format DVD war is still going on and Toshiba's HD DVD camp just got 2 more allies. Microsoft and Intel announced yesterday that they will be supporting the HD DVD format over Blu-Ray. Each format has a significan't amount of followers, but at this point it really is a wash as far as who is ahead. The main reason for Intel and Microsoft's support is the storage capacity. For a while, Sony has claimed Blu-Ray has the most storage, but yesterday it was established that due to Toshiba's dual-layer technology, their discs will hold up to 30GB rather than Blu-Ray's 25GB. Which format will prevail?

Our Company
Wall-to-Wall Studios is a full-service integrated brand design agency founded in 1992. Our work spans many verticals, and we like it that way. We have experience representing the full emotional and aesthetic spectrum. Our clients are diverse – big, small and in-between; local, regional and national. We believe in creating compelling integrated experiences for smart challenger brands.
Sure, we've been around a long time. However, we never assume we know how to solve a problem before we've started; every solution is built from scratch. We use a lightweight process to keep us on track and tools to keep us efficient, and we're good stewards of resources – ours and yours. We're all about delivering exactly what you need in ways you never expected.
Do you ever get that bloated feeling? We don't. Everyone here was hand-selected to be part of an artistically and technically creative team. We're hybrids – most of us are multidisciplinary – so we're nimble, and we can get done with few what usually takes many. We take our work very seriously (but with our sense of humor intact). Because of where we come from and how we work, we get exposure to many things and we often use what we've learned in one discipline to push the boundaries of another.
We're often rooting for the underdogs. A challenger brand may not have the awareness or longevity of a market leader. But that doesn't mean these organizations aren't able to rethink or disrupt the category. That's where we come in. We help to clarify and define brand strategy where previously there was none. We do this by listening, researching, differentiating and innovating. We challenge all assumptions. There's no magic formula up our sleeves except our process. Together with our clients, we arrive at the solutions together.
When companies, products, and services can't compete with giant media budgets and repetitive market saturation to seed their message, what's a brand to do? Emotion, wit and even humor can engage the audience in ways that stick and resonate deeply. When a brand can turn emotion into a connection with their audience, it becomes the valuable foothold into market share. At W|W, we believe that emotional connection can become the currency of the challenger brand.
Well, almost. With offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Honolulu, Hawaii, plus clients everywhere in between, we're convinced we've found the two most strategic locations on the planet. Two offices, an ocean apart, sharing the same soul. We're dedicated, yet fun, and our personality is evident in every aspect of our space. Stop in anytime. We want seeing us to be the fun part of your day.

About Finance
The Finance Department operates under the management and leadership of Finance Director Desmond Chin, and reports to the Village Manager. The Finance Department is responsible for administration of the Village's financial and fiscal affairs, including:
- Accounting practices
- Financial planning and analysis
- Audit coordination processing
- Recording of daily fiscal activities in accordance with generally accepted governmental accounting principles
- Budget coordination and monitoring
- Preparation of financial reports
- Providing support on fiscal and financial matters
Department Goals:
- Ensure proper implementation of financial and accounting practices for the effective and efficient use of the Village's financial resources.
- Maintain proper accountability over the Village's financial resources.
- Prepare timely financial reports on the Village's financial condition.
- Refinancing of the Edward and Arlene Feller Community Room bond, resulting in a projected savings of almost $357,000 over the next 15 years, which also decreases the Village's obligation in the financial books by the same amount.
- Revamped the budget cycle for better transparancy holding 6 budget workshops at various locations throughout the Village and discussing all aspects of the budget, inclusive of restricted funds and user fees..
- Proposed the allocation of surplus funds into individual categories to be used for specific purposes including emergency events, maintenance, solar initiatives and surplus funding.
- Reduced cash payment transactions and allowed for greater efficiency in accepting and processing payments for Village services by establishing online payment options.
- Started a monthly report of actual expenditure percentages that is distributed to the Village Council and provided to the residents on the Village website. This greater transparency allows the Council and residents the opportunity to review and monitor monthly expenditures.
- Expanded the online check register report to also include the vendor name and purpose of each Village expenditure for which checks are made.
- Included an in-house information technology position in the budget in accordance with our auditor's recommendations to address potential cyber safety concerns and moved functions to the Finance Department for oversight.
- Reduced expenses by $75,000 by centralizing maintenance functions in a single division and address minor repairs with Village staff rather than outside vendors.
- Completed audit report
- For the first time since the selection of the current insurance provider, we are reviewing our policy and options to ensure that the Village is getting the best possible coverage at the best possible price.

Fire Resistant Pants, Jackets and Coveralls
Fire Resistant Pants and Jackets
Firefighting is serious work. If you're in the firefighting business, you deserve serious clothing that will keep you safe from the flames and searing heat. Our fireproof clothing is different from our Tyvek clothing since Tyvek is flammable and would be vulnerable to any flames. To help you stay safe while you're on the job, we at Miller's Precision Enterprises have created a line of clothing meant to resist the flames you fight on a regular basis, including fire-resistant jackets, fire resistant pants and flame resistant coveralls. We offer a large variety of styles to suit an equally large range of needs while you're on the job. Best of all, our entire collection is priced fairly and competitively so you won't be able to find a better quality at a lower price with any comparable supplier of fire resistant work clothing.
Fire-resistant pants and jackets are designed to provide you with the full protection you need to ensure the best results. We understand how risky it is to be around a fire to do your job and want to reduce your risk of injury as much as possible. This is why we have developed clothing that will help resist the flames and keep you safe. In addition to being effective, they look great and are extremely flexible for optimal comfort.
Completely Resistant Clothing
Our clothing has been completely tested and acknowledged as 100 percent resistant. We have also rendered it as breathable as possible. It is made from flexible, comfortable cotton outfitted with special fire-resistant properties. This should help you work all the more efficiently during emergency situations and keep you from sweating out your suit. We wanted to create flame resistant coveralls that were not only effective at keeping the flames away from your body but would also be comfortable to wear. We understand you may wear these suits for long periods of time in harsh conditions and want to ensure you can perform all the work you have to do.
An Affordable Option
Fire-resistant pants and fire-resistant jackets aren't always the cheapest option, but because they are such a necessary part of keeping you safe on the job, you understand it's important to make sure you have what you need. This is why we work so hard to create protective clothing options that will provide the level of fire protection you need. The good news is, all of our products are available at reasonable prices so you can stay safe on the job without worrying about how much your gear costs.
Fire fighting isn't an easy job by any means. You need to make sure you do what you can to protect yourself from the dangers you are trying to protect others from. This means buying fire-resistant pants and fire-resistant jackets to ensure you aren't injured by the fire. With our comfortable options, you will be able to fight fires with confidence and without worrying about feeling too warm or uncomfortable.
In a line of work committed to preserving the safety of others, your own safety is paramount. This is why our staff at Miller's Precision Enterprises works so hard to ensure we create only the highest quality fire resistant apparel, including fire-resistant pants, fire resistant jackets, and flame resistant coveralls. Feel free to browse our selection below for more details.

Heat Wins. LeBron's Ankle Loses. Pacers Tomorrow.
It was the game before the game last night. It was sandwiched between LeBron's old team and the Heat's biggest threat in the East.
It was the 117-94 Heat win Monday night game against the Jazz, because people had already bought tickets, and it was mandatory.
LeBron has 30-9-9 on 75+ percent shooting tonight. Only five players have done that since 85-86: http://t.co/eYEVei6W65
— Couper Moorhead (@CoupNBA) December 17, 2013
I keep hearing people referencing LeBron's "almost triple doubles", I guess it's a new stat people are keeping. Seems to me it would be easier if they just called them "LeBron's." LeBron had another LeBron Monday, finishing with 30 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, his eighth near LeBron of the season. That rolls off the tongue much better than "near-triple-double," I'd say.
Dwyane Wade, 20 points on 9-14 field goals. Sucks that he's washed up.
— Jonathan Zaslow (@ZaslowShow) December 17, 2013
Dwyane Wade is your boy. STILL. Never stopped. Always because forever. Wade continues to look great when he's on the floor this year, "when" being the paramount word there. His body seems to be responding to the rest the team is giving him, and he should get healthier as the season goes on. As long as Mario Chalmers doesn't hurt him in a post-game video bomb.
Heat shot 63.4 percent tonight, which set a franchise record. It's also the best shooting percentage in an NBA game this season.
— Joseph Goodman (@JoeGoodmanJr) December 17, 2013
The Heat went 45-71 Monday, a franchise record. The win gives Miami 17th straight victories over a Western Conference opponents, the second longest such streak in NBA history. The Utah Jazz also tied an NBA record, recording just one player in double figures. That's an unofficial stat, but I feel comfortable reporting it.
At one point in the third quarter LeBron James lost his headband. This was the very moment shit got real. This was also the very moment Heat media Twitter lost it's entire shit.
LeBron walks the sideline, headband in hand, then drops it. Sorry, Heat fans.
— Ethan J. Skolnick (@EthanJSkolnick) December 17, 2013
The headband is off. The headband is off. Breaking news.
— Tim Reynolds (@ByTimReynolds) December 17, 2013
LeBron just dunked without a headband. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
— Joseph Goodman (@JoeGoodmanJr) December 17, 2013
And the headband is gone!
— Ira Winderman (@IraHeatBeat) December 17, 2013
LeBron will obliterate your team with or without a headband dammit!

The result was a Miami Heat lead that ballooned from three to twelve entering the fourth quarter, and it was smooth sailing to the win from there. Never disrobe the King of his linen, you chose poorly Utah.
The only real snafu was when LeBron turned an ankle catching a pass while sprinting down the court. He came back in and played like a ball o' fire, but these things hurt the next day -- particularly when you're preparing to outjump a giant Roy-o-saur. "He'll be fine," Wade told worried Heat fans.
Next up for the Heat is a rematch with those bastard Pacers, who beat the Heat 90-84 last week in the biggest game of their life. The Pacers lost to Detroit last night, because even the thought of the Heat near on their schedule gets them totally shook.
