★★★★★ "A great multipurpose tool for managing your machines. I can't even count the number of times this little app has saved the day when I'm stuck in a meeting and can't get to a terminal to check on things. Nothing else on the App Store that I tried even came close — this app does everything and it does it all better than the competition" JG401 v3.8.6 Dec 2012 USA ★★★★★ "There are a lot of other VNC apps that cost a LOT more than this app, and (IMHO) they aren't as good. I use it to connect to Linux and Windows computers on my network. It has never crashed and has a low memory footprint. I recommend this app to anyone looking for an easy, good, and affordable VNC client." binaryloop v3.8.6 Mar 2013 USA
★★★★★ "Use it all the time from my iPad to control all my macs, ESP the entertainment center. Also use the Mac version, as 2 of my Mac minis are now headless. When I want something on the entertainment center iMac, the first thing I pick up is the iPad and the remoter app" Bruce Funk, v3.8.6, May 2013 USA
★★★★★ "Best VNC I've tried: Best UI, support for WOL. At this price, a give-away. Very rarely crashes, seems pretty stable. Speed over 3G acceptable" frog_fiddler v3.8.6 Mar 2013 UK

Perfect – ★★★★★ by teqteq Australia- Version 2.4.1 – 23 August 2011
This app works perfectly. Very well thought out design. I use it to connect to Linux and Mac over VNC and SSH. The interface never gets in the way. The virtual trackpad is perfect, as touch control doesnt work so well on traditional interfaces. This will likely be the only remote app I ever need.
Great interface and controls, fast update, excellent! – ★★★★★ by Zippy1000 Australia – Version 2.4.1 – 16 August 2011
The controls in this software are really good. Bought Wyse Pro, and now wish I had found this first! Quick screen update, coupled with easy way to combine keys and mouse controls make remote work really easy. Pity it doesn't do RDP with the same controls, bit it does what it says on the can extremely well. Get this software!
Wish I'd found this app sooner!!! – ★★★★★ by Junior_lw Australia – Version 2.4.1 – 23 July 2011
I had been using Mocha VNC thinking it was pretty good, but after upgrading Mac OS X to Lion, that stopped working. So I discovered Remoter…for just $0.99 !!! I was skeptical at that price but it is AWESOME!!! SOOP much better than Mocha VNC or Splashtop and it works beautifully. Much better setup, far far superior control inter fact and hugely more responsive that Mocha VNC. I can't believe this app is so good at this price. Very happy!
Awesome for vnc and ssh – ★★★★★ by Paul 2.0 Australia – Version 2.4.1 – 22 June 2011
I am using this app for vnc'ing and ssh'ing into 3 different computers (2 MacOS, 1 CentOS Linux) and it works just great. I am very pleased with the multitude o different options to control the remote vnc – full keyboard, trackpad or direct screen taps – with pinching etc for zoom and full screen support. The macros and key manager are very useful too (other vnc apps in the AppStore don't support pre shared keys – that's a big no no for me). The price is absolutely great and the support is great as well as far as I can tell (I suggested a new feature and it was implemented in the next version). Maybe take the people who complain about support with a pinch of salt – quite likely they just haven't set up their vnc servers right and I wouldn't expect a client developer provide support for that… I really cannot see how one could do anything wrong with this great client.
Fantastic app! – ★★★★★ by theofj Denmark – Version 2.4.1 – 14 June 2011
If you need a fast, stable and intuitive VNC app then buy this one. Just bought this app and I feel in love already. A bargain at 1$, buy it while you still can!
Excelente producto, muchas mejoras en los últimos meses – ★★★★★ by Alfs iphone Chile – Version 2.4.1 – 23 June 2011
El producto funciona como un excelente escritorio remoto, y su conjunto de opciones ha ido mejorando para cubrir todas las necesidades de acceso remoto a un escritorio (en mi caso, Windows). Muy recomendable.
Wonderful and works fine – ★★★★★ by Heyudude Netherlands – Version 2.4.1 – 19 June 2011
At first there was some doubt: does this work for this price? And after reading some reviews and screenshots I bought it together with the in app SSH purchase: 0,79 & 0,79 euro For the price a real winner, VNC and SSH work fine. SSH features a keyboard and trackpad, a lot of features and nice help in the app. Compared to other apps this is a real bargain. So back to the app for now and testing it even more…
Best VNC client – ★★★★★ by Kevintyk Singapore – Version 2.4.1 – 20 August 2011
This is the best VNC client on the iPhone and iPad, with tons of features, but it just cost 0.99, while others VNC clients runs the same or even worse are cost at least 9.99 or higher, I don't see why I'm gonna go for others while Remoter is so great and cheap. Grab it now!
Amazing – ★★★★★ by DameanSharp Sweden- Version 2.4.1 – 14 July 2011
I can't understand how i can have lived with out it before! The first ACTUAL working client that has no problem handeling mous events, swips and scrolling!!! I love the app and it works brilliant with my mac mini and I don't even have to turn on my projector now before I want to watch a movie or tv-serie! Thanks a lot!!
Love macro function – ★★★★ by JpServices Switzerland- Version 2.4.1 – 13 June 2011
I have been looking for quite a while for a remote desktop with a custom keypad. With the macro function this is the one coming closest. Besides creating a new connection with the automatic detection is pretty simple and rely able. Also love the different zoom possibilities. Would like to be able to add a fully custom keypad with custom labeled keys that fires predefined macros.
Truly a must have – ★★★★★ by SailorDavid UK- Version 2.4.1 – 08 July 2011
I downloaded this when I forgot my "clicker" for a presentation one day. It is now one of my most useful apps.
Fantastic app – ★★★★★ by Lockster23 UK- Version 2.4.1 – 28 June 2011
1st time I've ever been inspired to write a review but this app has inspired me. For 59p well worth it, with all the features I want.
Wow – ★★★★ by Gbptry UK – Version 2.4.1 – 25 June 2011
This is amazing, so easy and intuitive to use. Last year I tried a couple of VNC apps to control my PC from my iPod Touch & then iPhone 4 but gave up as it was hard work. Last week I tried Mocha VNC Lite on my new Mac Mini & iPad2 then paid £3.49 for the paid version hoping for better. It was better, but I still used my normal screen, keyboard & mouse to spend this evening burning CD's into iTunes. Whilst they were burning I browsed the app store & bought this as it was only 59p. I had it connected to my Mac within a minute & was so impressed I was writing this review within 10 minutes! Real touch pad with touch click. Scroll wheel on screen(not menu buttons like Mocha), easy full screen on/off switching, one & 2 click mouse buttons, automatic context sensitive help teaching you as you go (hopefully I can turn that off once I've mastered it) The touch to select seems to be more accurate than the native iPad firmware and it radiates small circles from where you touch making it obvious what you have selected. My wife will be happy, I'm using the Mac Mini as a media centre with iTunes & Plex Media Centre(really cool) & she doesn't like a 21″ screen, keyboard & mouse cluttering up the lounge, even if they are smart Apple ones. I'm of to play. For 59p you have to try it, I'm sure you won't be sorry. Enjoy
Great value. – ★★★★★ by jgol6 USA- Version 2.4.1 – 22 August 2011
First time VNCer and had no trouble getting it to work. Intuitive yet powerful. Money very well spent.
Simple, perfect – ★★★★★ by Ornelles USA- Version 2.4.1 – 22 August 2011
Very easy software…I can't imagine why someone would need the 20 dollar apps…I don't write reviews usually but this works beyond expectations.
Fast, easy, cheep – ★★★★★ by jamone13 USA- Version 2.4.1 – 21 August 2011
Best VNC app so far. Bonjour makes connecting to local macs simple. Most VNC apps don't do this. Love it
Simply Incredible – ★★★★★ by Geosynchronous USA- Version 2.4.1 – 20 August 2011

So far, so good! – ★★★★★ by Stuffman66879 USA- Version 2.4.1 – 16 August 2011

Best vnc client – ★★★★★ by carlgt1 USA- Version 2.4.1 – 08 August 2011
I've tried a lot, and this is great, and only a buck!
Works Great! (2.4.1) – ★★★★★ by madsteer USA- Version 2.4.1 – 05 August 2011
I was having trouble making it work with Lion. Finally I turned off the "control screen with password" option in the sharing settings on the iMac, and configured Remoter to request a VNC user Id and VNC password. Then I put in my normal logon credentials and I'm in. The benefit to this is you can use Lion's new feature of access an account that's not the current active account on the Mac. Works great!
always improving – ★★★★★ by nottooloud USA- Version 2.4.1 – 04 August 2011
the best of the many VNC clients I've bought. Stays connected in the background. Very configurable: finger as mouse or relative pointer, gestural control or transparent mousepad, remember settings or log in fresh. Gets better every version, and the updates are frequent.
almost spent $19.99! – ★★★★★ by phone4addic USA – Version 2.4.1 – 03 August 2011
Best .99 cent I've spent Yet! Dose Just what I Need it to! I paid $24.99 for iTeleport and it Stopped working when I upgraded to Lion, I almost spent $19.99 on Screens! whew! Thanks for saving me 19 Bucks!
GREAT Value!! – ★★★★★ by Gunnlaw USA – Version 2.4.1 – 02 August 2011
I'm astounded by how well thought out this VNC client works. Connecting to a Windows 7 or XP server actually is like having a touch interface in Windows. It works every bit as well with Mac OSX. I've been using VNC for years and Remoter is a VAST improvement in my remote experience.
It's The Best! – ★★★★★ by BluesMan56 USA- Version 2.4.1 – 01 August 2011
I was searching the web for an app to replace chicken of the VNC that stopped working after upgrading to Lion on all of my Mac's. I was reluctant to purchase this program with so many free ones but Remoter hands down out preforms all the other VNC apps I tried. I am very happy with the program and purchased the SSH add-on too. Good work and thank You
great see-through keyboard and on-screen trackpad – ★★★★★ by Golden Delicioso USA- Version 2.4.1 – 01 August 2011
I was using the free mocha VNC before I decided to purchase Remoter, and It was a great decision. It connects to my Mac very quickly with almost no lag. Also, the see-through keyboard, and on-screen trackpad allow me all of the functionality needed to do my job from my iPad. I am a completely Mac based household, so I cannot speak to Windows users. Absolutely worth the money. I have found nothing to complain about.
Oh yeah baby!! – ★★★★★ by Thowalla USA- Version 2.4.1 – 31 July 2011
This works fricken sweet! Love the fact I can connect to my iMac remotely and that it works with os x lion Nicely done guys!
SSH! – ★★★★★ by Russkle USA- Version 2.4.1 – 31 July 2011
Finally an iOS app with an elegant approach to Screen Sharing. Deleted all of my other VNC apps.
WOW – ★★★★★ by tobiasbob USA – Version 2.4.1 – 30 July 2011
Don't let the price fool you. I've bought and used Mocha and Real and this one is my favorite hands down. I don't do anything special other than VNC to my Mac on occasion to get a file or check something but this rocks. VERY snappy even over internet. Intuitive and easy to use. I highly recommend it. Works with built in System Prefs -> Sharing -> Remote Management.
Very well thought out VNC/SSH client – ★★★★★ by PriRmentndo USA- Version 2.4.1 – 30 July 2011
Simply put, a pleasure to use. The VNC client is fast, well designed, and compatible with Mac OS-X 10.7 Lion's Screen Sharing. It is now my default VNC client, replacing another that I've just tolerated for a couple of years. I added the SSH terminal option (in-app purchase). It's also well thought out and will replace my other SSH client.
Excellent – ★★★★ by patrickst1 USA- Version 2.4.1 – 29 July 2011
Love this app. I was using another app that sort of got the job done but I found myself needing more. I came across Remoter and was blown away, especially for the price. I only gave 4 stars because there is always room for improvement with any software however if I could give 4.9 I would.
Works with Lion – ★★★★★ by robgen USA- Version 2.4.1 – 29 July 2011
This is a great app; I especially like that you can use it with SSH. For you Lion users, note that OS X apparently changed things a bit for VNC users. You can now log into separate accounts on the same machine. So, rather than use the password you set up in Preference Pane>Sharing>Screensharing etc, use the user name and password for the ACCOUNT you have on your Mac. For many this will be just your "normal" login name and password. Then you're up and running. BTW, this was a tip I gleaned from the developer's forum; extra star for good support!
Wow – ★★★★★ by scout4mity USA – Version 2.4.1 – 27 July 2011
I have been using this app for some time on my home network with great success. Recently I wanted to access my home desktop while away. The instructions on how to do this were very clear. Now, I can access my home computer from anywhere, all for less than $5.00 (.99 + one time in app purchase). Compared with $30, this is an amazing deal. Thank you so much for a great app and great support!!
Very comprehensive VNC support – ★★★★★ by [} John {] USA- Version 2.4.1 – 21 July 2011
I am amazed by the broad range of features of this VNC client. RDP is in the wings but in the meantime this allows connection to and control of all my windows 'home' edition systems with my choice of many excellent VNC server options both free and commercial. I bought the extras using the 'complete' in-app purchase and the SSH and Telnet also are feature rich and offer a good alternative to having multiple, separate apps for my remote access needs. The developer is commited and works hard on this app to fix and enhance it with features people can use. I highly reccomend this app and applaud it's developer in both support and dedication to this product.
The new "coolest app" on my iPad – ★★★★★ by kellyjf USA- Version 2.4.1 – 19 July 2011
It's fast, it's solid, and it seems like everything has been thought of—remote keyboard, mouse, track pads, right clicks, key combos, pinch and zoom. It has an ssh client that lets me use my existing keys. I can sell my wireless trackpad and keyboard.
One of the best implemented apps for the iPhone – ★★★★★ by fnordpig USA- Version 2.4.1 – 15 July 2011
A tour de force of implementation. Astounding, and I'm an experienced iPhone developer with 18 years of software dev background.
My new go-to remote client… – ★★★★★ by Buddy Lingus USA- Version 2.4.1 – 11 July 2011
Tried several RDP clients… Even Splashtop… And this just has a much better interface for regular tasks. The transparent keyboard and trackpad controller are excellent. I would recommend everyone give this a try before shelling more money for inferior products. Don't want to slam anyone here… Splashtop has some nice features for accessing you computer over the Internet and streaming movies. But for what I was looking to do this is just perfect. A big thanks to the developers for making it nice, and for keeping it affordable.
Fantastic App! – ★★★★★ by USA- Version 2.4.1 – 01 July 2011
This app has the cleanest, sleekest interface of any iPhone app I've ever used! Easy to set up and use.
Amazing and Wow – ★★★★★ by videopro21 USA – Version 2.4.1 – 23 June 2011
This VNC client is fast fast fast. The user experience is very streamline. I can actually do work remotely. Other VNC clients are way slow, choppy, and hard to use features (like the mouse, go figure). Not this app. This app is leaps and bounds beyond the competition. Trust me. LogMeIn who?
Wonderful – ★★★★★ by Jadefalchion USA- Version 2.4.1 – 17 June 2011
Great vnc client, great price, and great support thank you devs.
Does what the overpriced competition does! – ★★★★★ by Sonofa Macintosh USA- Version 2.4.1 – 16 June 2011
I was using Mocha VNC lite for years (hey it's free!) for my Macs on my network. I started looking for a replacement since the Lite version's KB/mousing is lacking to say the least. I went through all of the options in the app store and came across this app. Currently it's on sale for .99 which is why I pulled the trigger–so far it's an outstanding buy. The keyboard controls are much better than Mocha Lite, the mouse controls make it so I can do just about anything–I haven't tried selecting text yet, so I don't know if it has that capability or not. Also it was nice to see all of my Macs on my network waiting for me to configure my sessions. This is way better than Mocha! For a buck you can't beat it. There is some in-app pricing and for about $5 total you can have full functionality and free updates–for the initial price it does everything I need. I was trying to think why this app should get less than five stars and right now I can't think of a thing. UPDATE: after using product for more than a month, I've come to the conclusion that this IS the only app. I've compared it to the other high rated competitors and this is now my go to app–PERIOD. True, this doesn't do Flash–and I don't care–I don't want it. Another competitor promises Flash, but you have to install their software on all computers accessed…really? No thanks. I'm good.
The best I have used so far – ★★★★★ by Sidssp USA- Version 2.4.1 – 10 June 2011
Wonderful VNC client. It is many times faster than the others which cost much more that I used before. Everything is so responsive. Great product.
Funciona a la perfección – ★★★★★ by Mexico – Version 2.4.1 – 08 August 2011
Me fascina! Evita que este todo el día pegado a mi computadora monitoreando un servidor remoto… Solo un ssh tunnel y puedo controlar el servidor. Lo tengo configurado para conectarme con un tap y tengo macros para agilizar los procesos. Incluso mas rápido que hacerlo a mano en la computadora 😛 Muchas gracias! No me importa haber pagado 36 pesos (con los extras). Me siento mucho mas seguro. Ya puedo salir sin miedo a que colapse el sistema hahaha

Remoter VNC – ★★★★★
by Michelin Man – Version 1.801 – 31 December 2010
I took the opportunity to grab this VNC app and I am happy that I did. The other VNC apps in the past six months fall far short when compared to this one. I have a Mac Mini OSX Snow Leopard Server which has no dedicated monitor, a keyboard sits off to the side and I use a wireless mouse but it is cumbersome to pull monitor cable and a temporary seat close to the server as it is up on a shelf. With this Remoter VNC app I can administer the server from any room in the house and the response time is quite tolerable. This is fantastic, and the many functions and keys provided on the screen pretty well look after almost all the functions I require. You people put a great VNC app together at an economical price of a buck, if anyone interested in a VNC app who doesn't grab this now will be missing a great tool for the future. Many thanks.

Die üblichen Tasten von Windows inclusive F-Tasten liegen gut zur Hand. Touch Pad mit variabler Größe hervorragend. Wenn nur alle Tools so zufrieden stellen würden wie diese Anwendung für VNC. Anerkennung für den Entwickler.

I've tried a few VNC clients for the iPad. This does what you expect it to. The controls and interface are easy and don't get in the way. It works well on a LAN, WAN and from a 3G connection. For the price, you get a lot of app for your money. So long as you know how to set up WOL on your PC and port forwarding and firewall rules on your broadband router, this is really easy to setup. Ten out of ten.

I've tried a couple of other VNC type apps (on an iPhone) which were ok, but not that easy to set up and prone to slowing and sticking. This app though, was a cinch and I had remote access from an iPad to my MBP within 2 minutes – it would have been 1, but I typed in the wrong hostname 🙂 Seems to work fine, and doesn't need any extra software on the Mac. Excellent and impressive, and for only 59p!!…this is the Apple app concept at it's best.

I am blown away at the value for money of this app. It's rare to find something this good for £0.59. The UI is gorgeous, and it is very easy to figure out how it works. There is a translucent virtual trackpad which can be enabled and disabled very easily, fullscreen or scroll mode toggles with a triple-finger tap. The opening screen shows the hosts you have entered and saved and it's a clear well thought out screen. All in all I cannot fault this app, I don't usually leave reviews but wanted to reward these guys for their excellence & generosity. Top marks.

Pilots want to fly, but it's expensive. People want to travel but it's a hassle. AirPooler brings them together on its site where pilots can sell empty seats on private plane flights. This bootstrapped startup is launching today with availability on flights out of the Bay Area and San Diego, and gave TechCrunch the exclusive first look at collaborative consumption in the sky, and whether it can be done safely.
Here's how AirPooler works. Pilots choose a date and itinerary for a trip, say Palo Alto airport to South Lake Tahoe. They enter the type of plane, the number of available seats, and their pilot's credentials and experience. AirPooler calculates the price per seat by dividing the total flight's fuel, airport tax, and hangar cost by the number of passengers (pilot included). AirPooler lists the available seats and accompanying info on its site, and anyone can book a spot.
Passengers choose from the available flights, enter their weight plus luggage, and a request is sent to the pilot. Once a pilot accepts, the passenger receives contact and arrival details for meeting the pilot at the airport. After the flight, any unforseen costs such as fuel for idling on the runway are added, and the passenger's payment details on file are charged.
Law prohibits private pilots from profiting from passengers so you only pay for your share of the cost of the flight plus a 20 percent fee to AirPooler. The Federal Aviation Administration also bars private plane pilots from advertising flights, which is why AirPooler is careful to never promote any specific flights. It's hired as its general council the former assistant chief council of regulation of the FAA to make sure it doesn't break the law. "We're confident that what we're doing is legitimate", AirPooler's CEO and co-founder Steve Lewis tells me. If that's true, only time will tell. Investors and pilots might want to hold off until they get more assurance the FAA won't come to shut down the startup and suspend people's pilot licenses.
Breeze Past Airports And Traffic
So why the hell would you want to get in a stranger's airplane? Because the alternatives, namely driving and commercial air travel, can be a nightmare. By air you have to deal with checking in early, security, delays, cramped planes, and airports that may be far from where you want to go (you have to fly to Reno, not Tahoe). By car it's slow, there's traffic, some one has to drive, and someone has to stay sober to drive. Plus, unless you book far in advance, AirPooler expects to be cheaper than commercial air travel, similarly priced to driving but faster, and offer a unique experience.
Co-founder Steve Lewis knows flight pricing. After getting a PhD in political economy from MIT, he worked at ITA software, the pioneering flight search engine later acquired by Google. He admits he's no designer, but he built a roughshod private plane-versus-driving comparison tool into AirPooler (though its driving cost estimates seem a bit high).
It says to fly from Palo Alto to Tahoe using AirPooler it would take about an hour and cost $50. Flying commercial you'd have to pay $129 from San Jose or $329 from San Francisco for the hour flight if you booked a week-and-a-half ahead. Driving would take 3.5 to 4.5 hours and cost $35 in gas. To fly from Denver to Aspen, Colo., would cost about $100 per person one way on AirPooler. Right now, if you booked two weeks ahead on commercial, it would cost about $325, or you'd have to drive 198 miles for 3.5 hours which would cost $35.
The sweet spot for AirPooler is regional travel. These little propeller planes are not going to get you across the country. And they're definitely noisy and bumpy. But they'll get you 400 to 500 miles to and from Palo Alto or San Diego. AirPooler is eyeing Boston, Arizona, and Florida as its next markets, and hopes to show some traction before raising a round that could improve its crummy-looking site.
Fighting For A Different Type Of Cloud
AirPooler faces some fledgling competition from other air travel startups. Positioning itself as an alternative to driving makes it different than Blackjet, the attempted (and reportedly floundering) on-demand private jet service that supports much longer flights. Blackjet charges a $2,500 yearly membership fee, seats are pricey ($6,000 for Palo Alto to Tahoe), you have to request a quote before seeing the price, and there are reports of limited availability.
AirPooler's on-demand model also sets it apart from Surf Air, which offers monthly all-you-can-fly memberships for flights between Palo Alto, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Surf Air is a great deal for frequent business travellers going up and down California, but it's much more rigid than AirPooler.
You might assume getting pilots to offer their empty seats might be tough. Some boat owners have been apprehensive about renting out their babies on Boatbound, the "Airbnb of boats though it's still gaining traction. Similarly, pilots might not want to risk any issue with FAA regulations. But Lewis says private plane pilots are eager to join, and word is spreading fast in the tight-knit community.
There are already 2,000 pilots in the system, and the majority he talked to said they'd offer seats on AirPooler because it would help them recoup the costs of their hobby. Fifty-five percent of pilots in a small survey in Boston said they'd even add additional flights to take AirPooler passengers. And there are a lot of them. The Bay Area has between 15,000 to 25,000 amateur pilots and another 15,000 commercial pilots who fly their own planes in their off hours. And nationwide there are around 20 million passenger seat hours in private propeller planes that go unused each year. If traction grows with pilots, Lewis says there could be hundreds of flights a day out of the Bay Area.
Pick Your Pilot Wisely
Lewis admits the core challenge will be gaining consumer mind share and convincing them AirPooler is safe and simple, which it might not be. This is a "use at your own risk" startup.
While most pilots' insurance covers all their passengers, people are probably less worried about getting paid if there's a crash as they are about surviving. Luckily, prop planes are relatively safe compared to other transportation methods, and the planes can glide back to the ground in case of an engine failure. Still, accidents are most common with pilots with fewer than 100 hours of experience.
I'd encourage AirPooler passengers to look closely at their pilot's credentials and only book with seasoned aviators, because the startup merely requires a minimum pilot's license, doesn't personally screen pilots, and doesn't flag them for lack of experience. That seems a bit irresponsible to me. Some kind of warning on rookie pilots would help. Lewis confesses "I wouldn't jump in a plane with someone who just got their license yesterday." At least AirPooler eventually hopes to let flyers review their pilots to weed out any wackos.
The travel market is huge and if AirPooler can get to cruising altitude, it could earn a lot of money. That's a big "if," though. While most people feel comfortable in an Uber or Lyft even though driving is dangerous, there's just something a wee bit unsettling about being thousands of feet up in the hands of a stranger. Conveying a sense of safety should be AirPooler's top priority, the way it became for Airbnb after the vandalism scandal.
With fears calmed, AirPooler could open up private air travel to a wider income bracket and increase the range people can affordably travel on weekend trips 9X over driving. As more of our formerly prized possessions like albums and photos get digitized, society is putting a higher and higher value on experiences. What startup can offer you something as memorable as sitting shotgun in a propeller plane as you zoom over highway traffic towards your getaway destination?

1244: Two hundred-plus Cathars at Montsegur
March 16th, 2011 Headsman
On this date in 1244, over two hundred Cathar heretics submitted themselves to the stake rather than submit to the Catholic church.
Though not literally the last of the Cathars, that outlawed dualistic sect in the south of France whose extirpation occupied the papacy for much of the 13th century, this date was the last great stand and the signature massacre of the Albigensian Crusade. Afterwards, only minor outposts and isolated individuals would remain available for mop-up duty.
Heretical holdouts, fleeing a malevolent Inquisition established in the Languedoc by victorious Catholic armies, holed up at a few Cathar strongholds of which the most impressive was the mountain citadel of Montsegur.
The spectacular attraction of Montsegur tourists see today is not the legendary Cathar castle — which was razed by its conquerors — but a subsequent rebuild. (cc) image from SarahLouiseHathaway
Finally in 1243-1244, a massive Catholic army invested Montsegur; one can't help but compare this hopeless confederation of fearless zealouts ranged against the mighty temporal powers to the Jews at Masada — and as with Masada, it were death to succumb to the besiegers.
When Montsegur finally surrendered, two hundred-some — the reported counts differ slightly — were burned at the stake for refusing to renounce their faith; many of them had actually taken sacred vows in the days before Montsegur fell.
They were Nazis, Dude?
The National Socialists' weird quest to outrace Indiana Jones for mystical artifacts also brought the swastika to Montsegur, under the direction of the occult medievalist Otto Rahn.
Rahn thought the Holy Grail may have been secreted at Montsegur under Cathar protection, a half-literal, half-metaphorical secret goblet carrying the heretics' forbidden gnostic wisdom from the day of Mani.
(Other Nazis, allegedly including Heinrich Himmler himself, favored the similar-sounding Spanish fortress of Montserrat. Dan Brown prefers the Knights Templar, who could have laid their gauntlets on the cup of Christ when a few Cathars allegedly slipped through Montsegur's encirclement carrying some unidentified mysterious secret.)

Why South Africa's land reform agenda is stuck
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the South African Land Act, which restricted black people from buying or occupying land except as employees of white people. The Act gave white people ownership of 87 percent of land, leaving the black majority to settle in the remaining 13 percent.
Although the law was replaced by a policy of land restitution when the African National Congress (ANC) government came to power more than 19 years ago, South Africa is still struggling to reverse the Act's impact. There have been problems and controversies with both policy and implementation of the land reform agenda, which uses redistribution, restitution and tenure reform to make the much-needed changes.
IRIN takes a look at some of the problems that have slowed reform.
Willing buyer, willing seller
The government's restitution policy has taken a "willing buyer, willing seller" approach, as opposed to the expropriation route adopted by neighbouring Zimbabwe, which resulted in political, social and economic instability.
The South African government has been paying market value for the disputed land before it is handed over to the original owners, who were dispossessed during apartheid.
But the government admits the process has siphoned off its resources and delayed the reform process considerably. It had been paying twice as much for land restitution as it was for distribution.
Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Gugile Nkwinti told parliament recently that from 1994 to 31 January 2013 the government spent over US$1.2 billion buying 4.1 million hectares of land for redistribution, while spending over $1.6 billion on 1.4 million hectares for restitution.
"The small, white landed class has benefitted R10.8 billion [over $1 billion] from land acquired, while the 71,292 working class claimants benefited R6 billion [about $600 million]," said the minister. Nkwinti also indicated that "claimants have chosen financial compensation over land restoration. This is a reflection of poverty, unemployment and income want".
Critics on the left argue it also reflects the lack of a coherent strategy to enhance food security, aid poor urban populations living on marginal land, aid the predominantly black rural population, and support emerging black small and commercial farmers. Government detractors on the right have called land reform a ticking time bomb that could turn South Africa into Zimbabwe.
In response to criticism, the government has introduced several new initiatives in recent months, such as the Property Valuations Bill, the Expropriation Bill and the Restitution Amendment Bill]. But the new legislation has only stirred up more debate.
Just and equitable compensation
To shorten the time taken to finalize claims and to reduce the amount of money spent, the government said earlier this year it is dropping the "willing buyer, willing seller" principle, pursuing instead a "just and equitable" principle for compensation, which is set out in the constitution.
The constitution allows for expropriating property "even in cases where the owners of that property are unwilling to part with the property… if the expropriation is aimed at redistributing land to address the effects of widespread colonial and apartheid-era land dispossession ", writes legal expert Pierre de Vos, who teaches law at the University of Cape Town.
But the constitution says a "just and equitable" compensation must be paid for the property expropriated; it says nothing about paying market value. The proposed Valuations Bill will create an Office of the Valuer-General to develop criteria for determining what just value and compensation are.
De Vos says the proposed bills will provide the government with a new approach to accelerate land reform. He also suggested that setting up a valuations court could guard against corruption and help keep the process valid.
The government has also proposed amendments to the 1994 Restitution of Land Rights Act, which would re-open the processing of restitution claims for people who missed the 31 December 1998 deadline.
But Ruth Hall, a senior researcher with the Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), writes that the bill might delay the process of restitution by another two decades. It also requires claimants to prove that they will use the land productively.
"It is astonishing that such conditionality is being proposed; existing (mostly white) landowners do not have to prove that they can use their land productively in order to keep hold of it," Hall wrote.
"Land restitution is a very complex issue, and it straddles over various departments. We are doing as much as we can, and now we are all working together to try and speed up the process," said Palesa Mokomele, spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
Lack of good data
But there is not enough "reliable and detailed empirical data on small-scale farming in South Africa, and in particular on farming by land-reform beneficiaries," said Ben Cousins, senior professor at PLAAS.
According to the government, between 1994 and the end of March 2013, 4,860 farms have been transferred to black people and communities through the redistribution programme, totalling over 4 million hectares. Almost a quarter of a million people have benefitted through land reform, including over 50,000 women, 32,000 youth and 674 people with disabilities.
Yet is unclear whether the transfer recipients have retained the farms. There is no national registry of farmers in the country, but pilot studies have shown that many new black farmers may have given up on their farms. There is currently no tangible way to determine whether the transfer of land to black hands has been successful or transformed the lives of the needy.
Additionally, much of the policy literature in South Africa tends to overlook class dynamics, using terms such as "smallholder" and "small-scale" farmer, which ignore differences within these broad categories, Cousins said in a paper. There is a failure to acknowledge how these differences will impact the effectiveness of agricultural support.
Many researchers tend to lump black farmers into groups – a large group comprising "subsistence or semi-subsistence" farming households and a smaller group of "commercially oriented, 'semi-commercial' or 'emerging commercial' smallholders," wrote Cousins.
The government has said that "black commercial farmers" are the main beneficiaries of its land redistribution programme. But as Donna Hornby, a PhD student at PLAAS points out, the government's definition of what constitutes a black commercial farmer is not very clear.
Financial support
In 2004, the government launched the comprehensive agricultural support programme (CASP), which was meant to help black farmers.
"CASP accounts for a large share of the agricultural support budget but, despite dramatic increases in this budget over the years, it is supporting progressively fewer people. [Our analysis shows] the available funds are being diverted to relatively few capital-intensive projects, leaving most black farming households with zero, or nearly zero, support of any kind," Hall wrote in a paper co-authored with Michael Aliber, another PLAAS senior researcher.
The "subsistence-oriented households" do not get any support; in fact, they have to rely on social grants to keep themselves out of poverty, according to numerous studies by PLAAS.
In her research of a land reform project in KwaZulu-Natal Province, Hornby found that even when black farmers did receive support, "farm income gains go mainly to 20 percent of the households who own most of the cattle, and the total income from farming does not exceed the total income from social grants."
Aliber and Hall suggest that the government "provide generic support and infrastructure" where small farmers are concentrated.
Relying on the private sector
The government, meanwhile, has been advocating more reliance on the private sector to provide support to small emerging commercial farmers. Mandla Buthelezi is one farmer who has benefited from the private sector; he and several other black small-scale farmers in KwaZulu-Natal recently landed a deal to supply potatoes and other vegetables to the food processing giant McCain Foods Limited.
Buthelezi and the others struck this deal themselves, but the government has been involved in public-private partnerships benefiting other farmers, most of whom are black. One such partnership involved growing maize to supply the beer maker SABMiller.
But Cousins points out that this kind of support is not always sustainable and only benefits a limited number of people. "It cannot replace government support – the government needs to spend on agriculture," he told IRIN.
The government's spending is still short of the required 10 percent of GDP African governments agreed in 2003 to invest in agriculture to address food insecurity on the continent.

(George Eastman's (co-founder of Eastman-Kodak) suicide note. Eastman shot himself in the heart after suffering from chronic spinal pain which left him partially disabled.)
When someone makes the decision to take their own life, often the first thing many people want to know is whether they left a suicide note. Some people, like Eastman, leave just a few words the living are left to ponder; others leave long, detailed letters of regret, pain, and loss. Whatever the method, there is no denying that the final, written words of anyone who has made this decision are compelling.
Taking a class on the composition of suicide notes though…well, that's definitely new. But philosophy professor Simon Critchley of New York's the New School believes there is much to be learned, artistically and rhetorically, from suicide notes. He recently hosted a course called the "Suicide Note Writing Workshop." One of several classes offered in month-long series of programs called "The School of Death," Critchley came up with the idea after hearing about a program called "The School of Life" in London. Critchley (my kind of guy) called it " "a particularly nauseating philosophy of self-help."
Critchley realizes it is a dark subject and also a "way of mocking creative-writing workshops." But, in the workshop's defense, the professor explained to The New York Times, "We're not mocking suicide. We're doing this as a way to understand it. And why not be a little insensitive? People are terrified in talking about death."
Fifteen students signed up for the workshop which looks closely at suicide ethics from antiquity to present-day. Suicide notes themselves, Critchley says, are a relatively recent innovation. "In antiquity, there was no need to leave a note," he said. "It would have been obvious why you killed yourself."
Notes examined include those left by Adolph Hitler,Virgina Woolf, Kurt Cobain. After analyzing a variety of suicide notes, from both the infamous and "ordinary" people, the class was asked to write their own last words. They were given just fifteen minutes to do so and the goodbyes had to be contained to a 4″ x 6″ index card. One woman wrote this for her children: "When you inevitably discover those things I kept secret, let these not diminish the reality nor the magnitude of my love for you."
It is an interesting way to think about communication, especially since these last words, when not a classroom exercise, come from people who largely failed at communicating.

The urinary system is composed of two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder, and the urethra. The kidneys remove waste products from the blood and form urine. Urine then travels through the tube-like ureters and is stored in the bladder before it is eliminated from the body via the urethra.
The bladder is the hollow-shaped organ that expands and contracts to collect and eliminate urine. As with all organs in the urinary system, the bladder is susceptible to developing cancer, the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. The wall of the bladder has several layers of tissue. Bladder cancer type depends on the types of cells and layers of tissue affected.
There are three types of bladder cancer:
Transitional cell: This type of cancer begins in the transitional cells. These cells form the innermost layer of the bladder, allowing the bladder to stretch when it is full and shrink when it is emptied. It is the most common site of bladder cancer.
Squamous cell: This type of cancer is a slow-growing cancer of the thin, flat cells that line the surface of the bladder.
Adenocarcinoma: Cancer that begins in the glandular or secretory cells of the bladder.
Symptoms of bladder cancer can include
Blood in the urine
Frequent urination, or feeling the need to urinate without being able to do so
Pain during urination
Men are more likely to develop bladder cancer than women. Bladder cancer is more common in whites than in blacks.
Risk factors for bladder cancer include
Smoking tobacco
Long-term exposure to certain workplace chemicals, or carcinogens, such as those used in making rubber, textiles, paints, and dyed clothing
A diet high in fats and fried foods
Having a history of recurrent bladder infections
Long-term use of urinary catheters
Being over age 60
If cancer is suspected, diagnostic studies can include
Cystoscopy: An imaging study where a tube with a lens is placed into the bladder through the urethra.
Urine culture and cytology: Laboratory studies that analyze urine for bacteria and cancer cells.
Biopsy: The removal of bladder cells for examination under a microscope.
Imaging studies: Studies such as MRI, CT scan, and IVU (intravenous urography) that provide a detailed picture of the urinary system.
Treatment and prognosis depend on the stage and grade of the cancer and the location of the tumor. Treatment options for bladder cancer can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and biologic therapy.

The term Anglican (from Anglia, the Latin name for Complimentary Angle) refers to the people, institutions, and churches, and angles that conform to the religious traditions developed by the heteroadrogyndous Church of England. The Anglican Communist Party is a theological backwater, and contains a greatly divergent community of national churches and asylums that recognize the
Archbishop Archangle of Canterbury as their spiritual and psycho-pharmacological leader.
Anglicans, hailing from the planet Anglica, traditionally date their church back at least to its first Archbishop, Saint Augustine the Bewildered of Canterbury, in the 6th century and even centuries earlier to the Roman police action. St. Augustine was known to grow some superior marijuana, which bolstered his reputation as a highly spiritual man. Frequently, he was found wandering the streets of Canterbury, muttering about something being "heavy","cosmic" or "far out."
While Anglicans acknowledge that the schism from papal authority under Henry VIII of England led to the Church of England existing as a separate entity, they also stress its continuity with the pre-Reformation Church of England. Drug use, meditation, and hippie clothes continued to be flaunted in the face of the Roman Catholic Holy See, and most English congregants took to insulting Catholics and stealing their eggs.
Contrary to popular belief, the British monarch is not the constitutional "Head" of the Church of England and it is incorrect to refer to the monarch as such. Still, the prayer books of several countries maintain prayers and rituals for "Our Sovereign Lady Elizabeth," and the versicle at Morning Prayer "O Lord save the Queen money on her next shopping trip," which in former United States prayer books, for example, was altered to "O Lord save the mooses."
The twin focii of Anglican worship are tea and Quiche. Tea pervades all levels of Anglican life. Babies are baptised in it, and blessed tea is drunk at Communion with a sacred rich tea biscuit. The current authorised version of the Bible, the Bumper Fun Pop-Up King James Bible, replaces all references to any form of liquid with tea. Thus, in Genesis, God floods the earth with tea; in Judges, Sampson finds a dead lion full of tea; and at the wedding at Cana Jesus turns Earl Grey into Darjeeling.
Quiche is a blessed egg flan, which may contain other items (including but not limited to bacon, broccoli and tomato). No Anglican event can occur without Quiche being present; if it's not present, the event ceases to be religious and simply turns into a gathering of people who have a deep suspicion of any sort of change. Anglicans outside England often will not include the Quiche as a part of their worship, a fact which is explained away in England by the liturgy, "My goodness, aren't those foreigners strange? I mean, where's the quiche?", to which the response is "Bless the foreigners, for they are strange and know not of quiche".
Sprirituality And Psychopharmachology[edit]
The Anglican Communist Party is the largest Christian denomination in the English-speaking world which encourages the use of marijuana and certain hallucinogens as aids to attaining enlightenment, and second largest sect of Christianity globally with over 77 million members. Originally intended to be merely a cheap knock off of Rome, it became something akin to a pagan cult during the reign of Oliver Cromwell. To rectify this problem Queen Elizabeth (now the ruler of heaven and earth) appointed her wizard John Dee to define doctrine for the Anglican Church. After finding no possible way to reconcile what the Queen wanted, Dee came up with the idea of "Via Media" or the Middle Way. He would just write a list of beliefs so vaguely defined that everyone could agree on; in a children's pop up book format, that would become a masterpiece of English Literature: the Book of Common Prayer. Dee was hailed as a hero for saving the Anglican Church and was sent across Europe on a quest to invent the Philosopher's Stone; but these ill tidings are generally not spoken of.
Anglicanism continued to spread itself across the globe as a suppressing tool at the hands of the English Empire. It wasn't until the 19th century that the Anglican Communist Party began to take shape. After a night of drinking bathtub Gin, John Keeble, the Bishop of Hogwarts and later a patriot in the Keebler Rebellion; began to have a series of visions about Karl Marx and the rapture. Together with his friends Eddy Pussy and Johnny Newman, the group met at Oxford University every friday night for collaboration. Originally used as purely an excuse to make love with college girls in the privacy of library study rooms; Johnny Newman however, began to question the meaning of Keeble's fantasies that often manifested themselves in verbal delusions during interracial intercourse. Eventually moved to repentance for their carnal sins by a fear of Marx, the three bishops began to draft a series of documents illustrating how Karl Marx was the co-redeemer (along with Jesus Christ) of man, and incorporating Communist teachings into Church Theology. Hailed as heroes, they were knighted for their contributions and given fillet-o-fish sandwhiches from the Scottish hamburger chain McDonald's. Thus was born the Anglican Communist Party we know today. The fates of these men however, were all terrible and sad. John Keeble was eventually crucified after his failed assault on Santa's workshop in the Keebler Rebellion. Eddy Pussy descended into obscurity upon entering an opium den. And Johnny Newman would later convert to Catholicism for reasons still unknown, father Bob Newman with a Japanese Schoolgirl while in Yokohama, and finally die of old age and syphilis in Sussex.
The Heterosex Controversy[edit]
Controversy is currently raging within the Anglican Communion over whether to allow heterosexuals to be ordained as priests. This issue became quite divisive as radicals and conservatives in the church began attacking one another in venomous debates and vicious pokemon duels at the 1998 Lambeth Conference at Canterbury. Desmond Tutu, a staunch conservative Bishop, shocked the whole church by saying Jesus himself was straight. This had stuck a chord even amongst his fellow conservatives. A meeting was held in San Francisco by the college of Bishops, which eventually found Bishop Tutu to be a heretic. He was formally excommunicated from the Anglican Communist Party that afternoon in a public ceremony along Castro Street in line with other excommunicated Anglicans is no longer allowed to drink afternoon tea or eat scones.
A longstanding convention within the Church demands that only the gayest of the faithful be promoted to the posts of Vicar, Bishop, and Archbishop of Canterbury. Radical African primates maintain that Jesus Christ's marriage to Mary Magdalene provides Biblical sanction for hot, wet, fixing the clap flap. Conservatives maintain that heterosexuality is disordered and frankly distasteful and arguments over the morality of the amorous congress have been increasingly acrimonious.

Hackers calling themselves the Script Kiddies took control of the NBC News Twitter account on Friday afternoon and used it to send out a series of hoax Twitter messages claiming there was a repeat terrorist attack on New York's Ground Zero.
The Script Kiddies had control of the account, which has more than 120,000 followers, for about 10 minutes before it was suspended. During that time they sent three messages stating that hijackers had crashed two airplanes on the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. "This is not a joke, Ground Zero has just been attacked. We're attempting to get reporters on the scene. #groundzeroattacked." said one of the messages.
Then, a minute later, perhaps sensing that the jig was up, they wrote. "NBCNEWS hacked by The Script Kiddies. Follow them at @s_kiddies!"
That s_kiddies Twitter account was immediately suspended, but according to a cached version of the page, the group describes themselves as "Anonymous Supporters :: Hackers :: Exploiting simplistic methods with hilarious results :: Occasionally doing it for teh lulz :: We are The Script Kiddies."
This type of account compromise is a regular occurrence on Twitter, although it is typically celebrities, and not trusted news organizations, that fall victim. Often the accounts are taken over following a phishing attack. Script Kiddies did not respond to an email asking them how they managed to take over the NBC News account.
Script kiddies is a hacking term, referring to technically unsophisticated hackers who rely on automated scripts rather than hacking wiles to conduct their online attacks.
Friday wasn't exactly a gold star day for accuracy on Twitter. Earlier in the day, an account associated with CBS News show "What's Trending" erroneously posted a Twitter message citing rumors that Apple founder Steve Jobs had died. That message was quickly deleted and "What's Trending" apologized.
