iPhone Download World

RIM offers free apps, support following outages

IDG News Service – Following last week’s major service disruptions, Research in Motion is offering free applications and support as compensation, the company said Monday.

RIM said it will give away applications worth $100 to consumers and offer enterprise customers one month of free support to help make up for the problems.

“As an expression of appreciation for their patience,” RIM said users will be able to download premium applications such as Sims 3, Bejeweled and Vlingo Plus: Virtual Assistant beginning Oct. 19 from BlackBerry App World. the applications will be available for download until Dec. 31.

The total value of the applications will be more than $100, but availability of the applications depends on what phone and operating system version a user has, RIM added.

Enterprise users will receive free support instead of applications. Current customers will get a one-month extension of their existing technical support contract. Those who don’t have a technical support contract will receive a one month trial of RIM’s BlackBerry Technical Support Services, according to RIM.

The offerings come after BlackBerry users last week experienced service interruptions and delays over a period of approximately three days in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa; a day and a half in Latin America and Canada; and one day in the U.S. on Thursday, services finally resumed.

“We have apologized to our customers, and we will work tirelessly to restore their confidence. we are taking immediate and aggressive steps to help prevent something like this from happening again,” co-CEO Mike Lazaridis said in the statement, but didn’t elaborate on what the company actually plans to do.

Days of Rage, Hours of Opportunism

The last time I passed the Days of Rage protesters in downtown Manhattan, amid their litter of expensive camping equipment, iPhone chargers, mobile hotspots and handwritten cardboard signs, they reminded me of people who walk up to you in bars pretending that they just discovered a new brand of beer they want to share with you. those people are plants, so are the people with torn cardboard signs surrounded by a few thousand dollars of equipment.

There are people who have reason to be enraged at Wall Street, but they rarely show up at rallies. they are too busy working a second job in their seventies or sitting outside a factory that was shipped off to China. and the people who do show up at rallies invariably have nothing to do with Wall Street and are financed by billionaires who made their money, directly or indirectly, in the stock market.

The paradox of Wall Street financed radicals protesting against the Street makes as much sense as a dose of class warfare from Warren Buffett. but the Street is a devious place, which makes money by betting against itself, and whose favorite politicians denounce it around election time. The cynical game of broken expectations is played here like nowhere else and the entire economy is on the table.

Obama poured money into Wall Street before denouncing it, and like Kerry, he was against Wall Street, before he was for it, before he was against it. At luncheons in exclusive restaurants, his allies are still explaining to hedge fund managers that Barry doesn’t really mean it. He’s just trying to get elected.

Democrats sometimes like to take off their Harvard jackets, loosen their club ties and try on a little populism, but it never sticks. They’re always against NAFTA, before they’re elected, and for it once they do. At towns with the rusted steel of lost manufacturing, they pledge to stand up for American industry, and then fly off to a fundraiser thrown by the outsourcing firms who have the actual money.

The belated crusade against Wall Street is even more pathetic as it is coordinated by groups who wouldn’t exist without men like Soros, who made their money from deals that make the Street look sparkling clean. It’s class warfare as a cynical jab at the populist center, the people who mutter to themselves that the Street is full of crooks and so is Congress.

They’re right and the Days of Rage protesters, who usually have a trust fund at their back and a degree in creative arts on their shelf, would never admit it. They’re not here to protest against power, but for those in power. Or else why target Wall Street now, long after the bailouts and the fizzing outrage over Corporate Personhood.

The Days of Rage are an Obama election rally, coordinated ahead of time to coincide with Obama’s own descent into class warfare. which makes them a pro-government rally.

The yuppie ragers may try for comparisons to Tahrir Square, but they’re more like if Mubarak had thrown a rally blaming the whole thing on international bankers. It’s equally pathetic and desperate. and if the media had any credibility or ethics left, they would be doing something other than covering a disguised election rally as if it were the new Battle of Seattle.

Desperation is the only tactic here. Obama has lost on every issue and so the same fake “grass roots” plants who dialed up the social media during his last campaign, are sending the zombies into the streets to pretend to be leading a revolution. but if these are popular protests, then why do they look so much like an Abercrombie and Fitch take on the Battle of Algiers?

Where are the unemployed cannery workers, the bilked Madoff investors, the homeowners used as fronts for the massive Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac swindle by progressive billionaires like the Sandlers? Where are the victims of Buffett’s insurance companies and the ordinary taxpayers who show up to Tea Party rallies, who are paying for all the crony capitalism?

They’re absent because the Days of Rage are more like a temper tantrum meant to manufacture the perception of public outrage, while lying about the things that the public should be outraged about.

The sheer cost of HUD’s scams, the money diverted to friends of politicians, and the entire edifice of a corrupted capitalism where money is made by failing and then getting bailed out by the government deserves a real day of rage– but it’s not one that people from organizations funded by all that stolen money are going to express. You might as well ask members of the Communist Youth Movement to denounce the Politburo.

As Social Security swirls down the drain and millions of Americans eat paste out of a can, there’s lots of money available to pay photogentic young people to hand-letter cardboard signs, put on their costumes and pretend to be angry about something other than a Defense of Marriage amendment or a supermarket that still uses plastic shopping bags.

People who are as detached from the economic turmoils of a sinking economy as possible are the worst possible representatives of populist outrage. and why should they worry, as long as rogue billionaires like George Soros or Warren Buffett keep trying to run the country to suit their own interests and agendas– then they can expect a steady paycheck.

The exploitation of outrage is always an exercise in hypocrisy. but it’s a particularly pungent odor when the upper class mimes revolution, when they really mean status quo. This isn’t 2008, it’s 2011. These aren’t rallies meant to bring down a government they oppose, but to keep a government they support, with some bottom line differences, in power. To divert attention from its failures by resorting to a wholly phony populism that’s little more than a subway stop game of three-card monte.

Hate the Street or not, the problems we face didn’t begin there. they began in Washington D.C. it wasn’t the Street that squandered the Social Security Trust Fund or decided that the economy would look better with a 15 trillion dollar deficit. The Street certainly played its role in suggesting to the politicians which side of the river to throw the money in, but it was at best a bagman. and the robbers are still off the Potomac, smirking their way through Senate sessions, and trading email notes with the organizations behind the populist protests.

Wall Street isn’t the cause of our economic problems, it’s the patsy for them. Bankers are always there to invest the loot when a government robs its own people blind. but unlike the leaders of so many Banana Republics, ours aren’t piling money in suitcases and flying on the next four engine prop plane out of a dusty tarmac surrounded by palms. They’re staying behind and running for reelection.

The Obama Administration is not the first government to pile up a huge deficit and treat the treasury like its own cash machine. it is not the first government to try and tough it out, by finding a villain to throw to the wolves and pledging to make them pay. These are all antics so outdated that you can read about them in the original Latin. Greek if you’re willing to dig deeper. Phoenician and Hebrew if you’ve got an excellent dictionary.

“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Casablanca’s Captain Renault says. We have no shortage of Captain Renaults who show up at Wall Street to display their shock that the national economy is little more than a bunch of roulette tables, a few thousand pinball machines and a game that only exists so long as people have enough faith to keep throwing money into the pot.

But the Renaults know all about it, because they not only get their weekly cut, but because the entire system works only because the Renaults funnel money to the tables and then take their cut. and when the bubbles die, the jobs go down the chute and voters look for a scapegoat– the Renaults put on their best self-righteous faces and burst into the establishments to knock the cards out of the players’ hands. Shocked, shocked. This time they’re really going to regulate those naughty brokers.

We’ve played this game long enough that the Renaults and the players have gotten cynical, but the public still hasn’t quite caught on. when people mutter that Social Security is in trouble because there are thieves on Wall Street, they tragically miss the point.

Social Security is in trouble, because like everything else from D.C. to Wall Street, it was built for the interests of those in power, not for its supposed beneficiaries. which was all-right when the men in the big chairs knew what they were doing, could count to ten, and understood that the system worked so long as you kept on top of it. when those men were replaced by overgrown boys and girls with Harvard degrees and blackberries and all the sense of responsibility of a crackhead with a bladder problem on the Number 2 train, then what we have is universal bankruptcy while the people responsible stuff bonds into their pants and try to distract us with a Day of Rage by the employees of their paid political movements.

This game can only go on for so long, as the numbers rise into the trillions. and where then? Debt is fine as a commodity until it comes time to cash the checks. It’s fine to point the fingers at Wall Street before hitting them up for a donation, but that won’t solve the problem either. nor will rearranging the tax code to benefit Warren Buffett’s financial interests. You can raise taxes on some of the rich some of the time, while the others will be buying stocks in solar companies and bailed out banks right before a government bailout.

For Halloween, the people behind the mess have decided to send their kids to Wall Street dressed as grass roots protesters. As Elizabeth Warren says, no one got rich on their own. The solar panel factory had government grants. The Harvard lawyers had consultancy fees. The unions had their own politicians. The politicians had book deals. The billionaires have trust fund zombies with cardboard signs. The question is what do we have?

Macity: Custodie fantasma per iPhone 5: ecco perchè i produttori hanno scommesso

50mila dollari, circa 36mila euro. Ecco quanti sarebbe costato ad Hard Candy Cases ad una piccola ma aggressiva società americana specializzata in custodie per iPhone, la scommessa sul lancio di un nuovo iPhone con bordi affusolati e schermo a dimensione maggiorata. La storia di Hard Candy Cases viene raccontata da Businessweek che la utilizza come esempio per far capire come funziona il mercato “dell’anticipo” sul lancio dei nuovi dispositivi Apple e per quali ragioni realtà che si occupano di accessori sono disposte ad investire cifre tanto alte senza sapere con certezza se quello che stanno per fare si trasformerà in una mossa intelligente o solo in uno spreco di denaro.

La motivazione fondamentale è nella dimensione del business in gioco; lo scorso anno sono stati spesi 436 milioni di dollari in custodie, il 33% in più rispetto allo scorso anno secondo alcune statistiche di NPD. Anche una piccola società come Hard Candy Cases può avere ambizioni importanti (50 milioni di fatturato è la previsione per il 2013) che però possono materializzarsi solo se si è disposti a rischiare almeno quando si hanno minime certezze. Nel caso dell’iPhone affusolato pare che ci fossero: «tre società asiatiche – dice Tim Hickman l’amministratore delegato di Hard candy Cases – ci avevano fornito dei modelli molto dettagliati. Per questo abbiamo creato stampi in acciaio e ci siamo messi a raccogliere prenotazioni il giorno stesso del lancio del nuovo iPhone. Se le cose fossero andate come dovevano avremmo avuto centomila custodie in viaggio verso gli USA mentre si formavano le file di fronte ai negozi». in passato questo sistema che si fonda su indiscrezioni e qualche volta veri e propri furti di notizie ha prodotto profitti importanti e questa è la ragione per cui molti investono milioni di dollari nel creare prodotti per riempire i magazzini di prodotti che possono essere del tutto inutili.

Il gioco non è praticato solo da società di piccolo o medio cabotaggio. Come ricorda Businessweek anche Casemate aveva presentato brevemente custodie per il misterioso e mai materializzatosi iPhone 5; ma anche Speck ed Incase, rivela Hickman si servono dagli stessi fornitori di Hard Candy Case; tutti questi produttori però negano di utilizzare modelli che giungono sui tavoli dei designer per vie traverse. «Questa cosa fa arrabbiare Apple – dice l’amministratore delegato della società americana specializzate in custodie – ma la faccenda va in questo modo, piaccia o no».

Speck, intervistata anch’essa, sottolinea che la necessità di scommettere è un fatto reale, «facciamo quel che fanno tutti, ascoltiamo le indiscrezioni e prepariamo qualche modello. Ma poi per la produzione restiamo in attesa di vedere quel che succede realmente».

Hickman comunque non sembra molto preoccupato di avere speso 50mila dollari che apparentemente non sono stati messi a frutto. «I dati su cui sono state costruite quelle custodie da qualche parte sono usciti, serviranno per un futuro prodotto». a meno che, chiosiamo noi, non siano usciti direttamente da Apple che li ha usati per minare alle fondamenta il sistema di indiscrezioni che dai produttori di custodie arriva ai siti di informazioni che usano le stesse custodie per trarre informazioni anticipate sulle specifiche e l’aspetto dei nuovi dispositivi mobili di Apple.

Se, infatti, qualcuno sarà ancora disposto ad investire sulle voci, molti alla luce di quanto è successo potrebbero non esserlo perché, come si è dimostrato in questo caso, non tutti prototipi sono un buon investimento e con meno gente disposta ad investire in prototipi ci saranno anche meno siti che si lanciano in anticipazioni. Usare il FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, paura, incertezza e dubbio”) è una strategia di marketing che specialmente in campo informatico ha storicamente pagato dividendi alti, molto più alti di quelli che vanno ai produttori di custodie grazie allo sfruttamento di voci e indiscrezioni sui nuovi prodotti Apple.

Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

Apple iPhone Application- The Changing Trends of iPhone App Development

The trend of mobile focus growth triggered with a launch of Apple’s iPhone. the smartphone of Apple, that has a total facilities of a mobile phone and an iPod. it has a really good browsing height and with a assistance of these facilities one can do lots of activities. you can bond with your family and friends from anyplace. as a new and mutated versions of iPhone released, a growth zone gained gait and got enlarged. but a trend of iPhone app growth has altered a lot. when a focus growth started afterwards it was in equal direct for personal as good as veteran purpose. but now a veteran territory has taken adult this section.

The iPhone app growth has come a prolonged approach and along with a changes in a facilities of a smartphone there have been changes in a growth too. At a starting of focus growth there was an equal ratio confirmed between a dual sectors. in fact people were some-more meddlesome to get media applications like song apps, video apps, gaming apps etc. since they were easy to use and did not combined many confusion. On a other palm all those people who were record unwavering started to use it some-more for veteran purposes.

When a focus growth for iPhone started, afterwards there was a fifty-fifty share between a business and party apps. but as a business zone grew exponentially and a universe is fast undergoing urbanization, a direct for organization, communication and tie increased. the iPhone non-stop adult new ways and new doors for a handling and organizing tasks with elementary taps and swipes of a fingers. the app developers of iPhone really well managed, rubbed and solved a complications associated to this task. They were means to collect a best and afterwards put them together to emanate new applications.

Well yes, there is no doubt in it that right from a initial era to a fourth one, iPhone has brought about lots of conspicuous changes and has done life easy and therefore it is in so many demand.

Laying Down the Week 5 Odds

When it comes to making picks for this week’s NFL action, the Sports Guy refuses to stick to the gamesBy bill SimmonsPOSTED OCTOBER 7, 2011AP Photo/Bill Kostroun

E-MAIL

Remember the Dolphins, Ravens, Browns, Cowboys, Redskins and Rams? They’re not playing in Week 5, our first “bye” week of the 2011 season. even if losing Matt Moore, Joe Flacco, Sam Bradford, Rex Grossman, Colt McCoy and the RomoCoaster was a big loss for Grantland’s Bad QB League, for gambling purposes I enjoy “bye” weeks because the condensed schedule gives us more time to study the remaining games, overthink possible results, create crazy teasers or parlays, or, in the case of the column, make up fake lines for things beyond the weekend’s matchups. here are my Week 5 picks … for all kinds of things.

Home teams in caps.

PANTHERS (+6.5) over SaintsCome on, you can’t lay this many points with the King of the Backdoor Cover, Cam Newton! It’s suicide!

Steve Smith 3.0 (-4) over Steve Smith 2.0Remember when New York’s Steve Smith took the Steve Smith mantle from Carolina’s Steve Smith? Steve Smith 3.0 features a faster hard drive, more explosiveness, a better QB and increased swagger. Everyone’s saying this is the best Steve Smith yet. Don’t worry, he’s not pulling an iPhone and releasing Steve Smith 4.0 next week only to reveal it’s the exact same phone.

Darren Sproles (+5.5) over Reggie BushThat was the line last summer. and now …

Darren Sproles (-13.5) over Reggie BushAnd climbing. How did we not know this was going to be a bigger deal? Bush went for like 15 bucks in my West Coast auction; nobody bought Sproles. Crazy. when Marques Colston finally gets rolling again, you could argue pretty convincingly that New England’s third-down offense (Hernandez, Gronkowski, Welker, Branch and electric rookie Stevan Ridley), New Orleans’ third-down offense with Sproles, The Emerging Jimmy Graham (his new name), Colston, Meachem and Henderson is slightly more dangerous than Green Bay’s third-down offense (Jennings, Finley, Nelson, Jones and Starks), but as a threesome, with the pro-passing rules in place (more on this later), we’ve never seen anything quite like it. those three have converted 112 of 203 third downs; San Diego (32-for-53) is the only other NFL team better than 50 percent; 20 of the 32 teams have completed 38 percent or less. Since 2002, only the 2002 Niners, 2004 Vikings, 2006 Colts and 2008 Colts have topped 50 percent for the season. now we’re on pace for four in one season?

My theory: We’ll remember the concussion crackdown as an unequivocal tipping point for passing dominance. a bunch of smaller tweaks have helped over the years (can’t touch the QBs, can’t jam receivers, etc.), but now that you can send receivers and tight ends over the middle ad nauseam without worrying about them getting decapitated by safeties and linebackers? It’s a different sport. Two weeks ago, the Patriots threw to Wes Welker twenty times in Buffalo. If they had run some of those same routes with him in 2002, he’d be in a coma right now. and why do you think we have so many emerging tight ends (Graham, Jermaine Gresham, Rob Gronkowski, Brandon Pettigrew, etc.) all of the sudden? Football is changing before our eyes and people aren’t even seeing it yet — the same offenses that always worked in Madden (either two TE/two WR, five WR or 4 WR/1 TE) now work in real life. In video games, you didn’t care about sending Welker over the middle 16 times and having him get pounded — he was a video-game character. now, you can do it with the real Welker. that means three things ultimately …

1. We’re going to see a boom in receiving numbers that parallels the home run numbers during the steroids era. Welker really might finish with 160 catches and 2,000 yards. It’s not crazy.

2. Green Bay, New Orleans, New England and (possibly) San Diego have a distinct advantage this season … and I think they’re slowly starting to realize it.

3. Peyton Manning must be going nuts.

Eagles (-3) over BILLSThe Bills can’t rush the passer (Philly’s had protection issues), love to throw the ball (Philly’s secondary has to come around at some point, right?), lucked out with takeaways so far (+8, including 2 TDs) and just aren’t as talented. put it this way: If Buffalo wins this game, then we have to (a) write off the 2011 Eagles, (b) give Buffalo 2011 pole position for the “Place Where Home-field Advantage Means the most,” (c) circle the wagons (I don’t know what this means, or how it applies to the Bills, but I’ll go with it), and (d) adjust the following line …

The “Everybody Believes In Us” Factor (+3.5) over “The Nobody Believes In Us” FactorThe 2010-11 Heat, then the 2011 Red Sox, now the 2011 Eagles — in the 24/7 Sports Coverage/Hyperbole/Beating-Every-Angle-Into-The-Ground era, you should do everything possible to avoid becoming an attention-getting favorite with a giant bull’s-eye on your back. Had I been running the Eagles, I would have gone the opposite way after the Nnamdi Asomugha signing — instead of allowing the “Dream Team” thing to get momentum, I would have called a team meeting and told Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy, “Hey guys, we’re about sign Asomugha — when it happens, can you bitch to the press about how we should have signed an offensive lineman so everyone can start writing about Philly’s in-house dissension and overlook the fact that we’re effing loaded on both sides? Just trust me, it’s for the best.”

2011 Andy Reid (-2.5) over every Other Andy ReidA classic Andy season thus far: The Eagles have outgained their opponents by 275 yards, notched 25 more first downs, held the ball for 16-plus more minutes … and they’re 1-3. Last week’s Niners debacle featured Andy’s usual goal-line struggles, an inexplicable pass/run ratio (how can a team that led 23-3 finish with a 2-to-1 pass/run ratio) and the 573rd time I made the “Andy needs to hire a 14-year-old pimply faced Madden junkie to help him with clock management down the stretch” joke (as Mike Lombardi pointed out, it’s the umpteenth straight year that Andy botched the “how do you handle your timeouts around the two-minute warning?” dilemma, which isn’t really a dilemma because there’s only one way to handle it). and then there’s …

Juan Castillo’s Hiring as Philly’s Defensive Coordinator (+17) over Rick Perry’s Presidential CampaignYou work as Philly’s offensive line coach for 13 solid years … and suddenly, you’re given seven weeks post-lockout to figure out a defense with new parts, figure out its strengths and weaknesses, game plan and coach it?

Philly’s Regrets for Michael Vick’s Nine-Figure Extension (+4.5) over Adrian Peterson’s Regrets for Signing a Nine-Figure Extension in MinnesotaEven the biggest Vick fan would admit this: these next three months are make-or-break for him. he hasn’t had a relevant playoff moment in seven years. He’s 2-5 in his past seven games (dating back to last year). There’s mounting evidence that he’s better in video games, highlight reels and fantasy leagues than in real life, and his durability is always going to be suspect … but if he misses the playoffs with this team and these weapons? Yikes.

Chiefs (+2) over COLTSBengals (-2) over JAGUARSBYE WEEK (-3) over RamsHere are four of our six Andrew Luck Sweepstakes contenders (not counting the Dolphins and Vikings, and not counting the Bengals, who inherited 2011’s “Good Bad Team” void once the Niners made it clear in Philly that they’re slightly better than that). Who’s tanking? The unexpectedly incompetent Rams should keep playing hard because they’re in the NFC West (where you’re never really out of it). The Jags, Vikings and Chiefs have coaches fighting for their jobs and won’t roll over … yet. I’m keeping my eye on the Dolphins — if you were going with a “Suck for Luck” plan, wouldn’t you keep Tony Sparano, make up a fake Chad Henne season-ending shoulder injury and sign Sage Rosenfels? Yes. Yes you would. Meanwhile, the Colts keep getting crushed by injuries (the latest: Melvin Bullitt and Gary Brackett) and they weren’t talented to begin with. If anyone’s smart enough to say “roll over and play dead,” it’s bill Polian. If Indy blows this week’s Chiefs game, their next three are on the road: Cincy, New Orleans, Tennessee. hello, 0 and 8!

My unofficial Luck Sweepstakes odds: Colts: -250; Dolphins +160; Rams: +180; Chiefs: +200; Jaguars: +220; Vikings: +300; the Field: +250. I’m parlaying Indy with the over of 23,475.5 for “Should Indy keep Luck and trade Peyton to a contender?” stories in 2012.

Andy Dalton (-4.5) over Blaine GabbertConversation with my son in four years …

Son: Hey, Dad, is it true the L.a. Jaguars passed on Andy Dalton in the 2011 draft?Me: Yup. They gave up the no. 49 pick to move up six spots and take Gabbert.Son: we could have just stayed put and grabbed the Red Rifle! this sucks.Me: For God’s sake, just root for the Patriots already. please. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!

Jack Del Rio (+225) over Leslie Frazier (+400), Tony Sparano (-350), Todd Haley (-500) and Jim Caldwell (+1200)These are sportsbook.com’s odds for “First Coach Fired” right now. If Miami was going to fire Sparano, they would have done it during this bye week (and didn’t). I see the Jags blowing their next four (Cincy, at Pittsburgh, Baltimore, at Houston), then Del Rio getting canned during their Week 9 bye and recovering in time to become a valuable member of ESPN2’s Numbers Never Lie by Week 11.

GIANTS (-9.5) over SeahawksTake Seattle at home, go against it on the road, thank me later. Although …

Tarvaris Jackson (+7.5) over The Guy Who used To be Donovan McNabbAt least through the first four weeks. I have to admit, I’m stunned by this line and the topsy-turvy world of “bad” QBs in general. In Grantland’s Bad QB Fantasy League draft, our first round went like this: Cincy, Seattle, Carolina, Miami, Washington, Tennessee, Arizona, San Francisco. If we did it over again? Six second-rounders (Indy, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Denver, Cleveland and the Jets) and two third-rounders (St. Louis and Kansas City) would go ahead of everyone in the first round except Miami, right? How could Tarvaris not be one of the top eight picks in a Bad QB Fantasy draft???? I’m counting on Tuck, Osi, JPP and the rest of the Giants to rectify this travesty on Sunday and vault Tarvaris back to his rightful place of sucktitude.

Eli Manning’s Husband Potential (+10.5) over every Other NFL Starting QBLast Sunday, we were watching football when Sarah Larimer (Grantland’s sports blog editor) was asked the question, “If you could marry one NFL QB, who would it be?” without blinking, she responded, “Eli!”

We were dumbfounded and immediately demanded an explanation. Sarah quickly spouted out three reasons: he’s handsome; he lives in New York (making a long-distance romance more realistic since L.a. to NYC is an easy flight); and most important, she loves that Eli is such a sensitive guy. Apparently, Archie Manning doted on Cooper and Peyton as kids, and poor Eli was left hanging out with his mom and learning how to be sensitive or something (as this 2008 New York Times feature covered). this left us even more dumbfounded, and once Sarah’s Eli selection was quickly and vociferously backed up on e-mail by Grantland’s Katie Baker, we were practically stupefied.

Forget about the fact that I will never look at Eli Manning again without thinking of him making Sarah a mixtape or standing outside Katie’s apartment in the pouring rain holding a boom box over his head and blaring “In Your Eyes” for a second, or that the whole exchange inadvertently gave us a running Eli/Sarah joke for the rest of the season, and really, the rest of the decade. Here’s my question to my 18 female readers out there: do women really dig Eli Manning, or is it just a massive coincidence that our two-person sample size produced this result? Either way, I’d like to dedicate this song to Eli and Sarah.

VIKINGS (-3) over CardinalsJared Allen, meet Kevin Kolb’s back foot.

Titans (+3) over STEELERSTennessee’s D, meet Ben Roethlisberger’s badly sprained foot. of course …

People not Counting Out The Steelers (+7) over People Counting Out The SteelersIf we’ve learned anything about the NFL these past few years other than “You can’t win without a good QB” and “Don’t text a picture of your penis to someone you don’t know,” it’s this: Nothing that happens before Halloween really matters, as long as you don’t fall into an unrecoverable crater (like 2-6 or 1-7). right now the Steelers are 14-to-1 to win the Super Bowl. If they blow this game (and I think they will, even if the line’s dropping 3½ points was a major “STAY AWAY!” betting flag), that should drop to 20-to-1 … and that’s when it becomes a pretty good value play. look at the AFC: New England, Baltimore, San Diego and Houston are playoff teams; Tennessee, Pittsburgh and maybe the Jets/Raiders are lurking; I can’t take anyone else seriously. All they need to do is get in.

Matt Hasselbeck (+10) over Kevin KolbWould you trade a 2012 second-round pick, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Matt Hasselbeck for the right to pay Kevin Kolb three times as much as Hasselbeck? Didn’t think so. Neither do Cardinals fans, apparently. this won’t end well.

Jamaal Charles’ 2011 Fantasy Season (+185) over Chris Johnson’s 2011 Fantasy SeasonIt’s closer than you think right now: Charles has 14.9 points, Johnson has 30.1 points. this seems relevant because, you know, Charles blew out his knee in the first half of Game 2.

Raiders (+6) over TEXANSClassic overvalue/undervalue line: Houston looked better than it actually is last week (thanks to the banged-up Steelers) and Oakland looked worse than it is against the Pats (a bad matchup for the Raiders), so the line crept to six even with Andre Johnson (Houston’s only deep threat) out for three weeks. I’m making this my Week 5 upset special: Oakland 27, Houston 17. and by the way, here are Oakland’s next four weeks: home for Cleveland and Kansas City, bye week, home for Denver. They could easily be 6-2 heading into their Thursday nighter at San Diego in Week 10. Easily. You know where I’m going with this, right?

Raiders (+400) over San Diego, Kansas City and DenverThose are their AFC West odds right now. can I talk you into them? anybody? (Crickets chirping.) You mean, I can’t get you more excited to wager on Al Davis, Jason Campbell and Hue Jackson to win an NFL division? I find this hard to believe.

Hue Jackson (-8) over everyone Else In The Barry Bonds Look-alike ContestKudos to Dave Jacoby for pointing this out last week.

Homeland (-10) over every Other New Fall TV ShowI’m totally, unequivocally, 100 percent in. Speaking of TV, I can’t put up a line for American Idol vs. X-Factor because Vegas pulled it off the board. too much action on American Idol.

Bucs (+3) over 49ERSOne of those lines that makes you say, “No-brainer, I’m laying the three!” and then … you start digging. Why isn’t this line higher? The teams are pretty even; San Francisco has a ton of momentum; Tampa played Monday night (and didn’t look that good against Indy), now they’re going cross-country on a short week. I’m suspicious. Something’s up. this feels like one of those “San Francisco 24, Tampa Bay 23” finals.

Jim Harbaugh (-4.5) over every Other New CoachI’m kicking myself here: If there hadn’t been a lockout and Harbaugh had been given six months to affect this team post-Singletary (the perfect coach to follow — like being the next boyfriend after a horrible boyfriend who was hung like a mouse), I would have jumped on them to win the NFC West. But pulling it off this fast? Never expected that. The key moment of that Niners-Eagles game happened right after the decisive Maclin fumble in front of the Niners sideline, when at least 25 Niners players and coaches went happily jumping onto the field to celebrate with the players who recovered the fumble. their whole sideline was locked in. You could see it. Which reminds me …

San Francisco (-400) over Arizona, Seattle and St. LouisThose are their odds to win the NFC West right now. Did Cousin Sal text me on Tuesday that we needed to parlay the Niners/NFC West (-400), the Patriots/AFC East (-600) and Cam Newton/Offensive Rookie of the Year (-400) together for 6-to-5 odds as a hedge for our disastrous Rams/NFC West wager in August? Yes. Yes he did.

(And did I jump on it? Yes. Yes I did.)

Chargers (-4) over BRONCOSLast week, I picked Green Bay to cover a big spread over Denver because Green Bay hadn’t played a kick-ass, start-to-finish game yet. same for San Diego this week. when you’ve thrown for 454 more yards than your opponents, converted nearly 60 percent of your third downs and held the ball for more than eight minutes per game, and your point differential for the season is +6, that tells me you’re due.

2011’s White Receiver Renaissance (-3.5) over every Other White Receiver RenaissanceWes Welker on pace to obliterate every Jerry Rice record, Jordy Nelson on pace for 1,200 yards and 12 TDs, Danny Amendola’s injury sinking the Rams’ passing game, Austin Collie successfully playing four straight games without getting concussed, the Cornell dude on the Chargers, Eric Decker, Kevin Walter doing Kevin Walter things, Julian Edelman thriving as a receiver/returner for the Pats, Brandon Stokley continuing his quest to play for every NFL team by joining the Giants … all we’re missing is an Easy Ed McCaffrey comeback.

Jets (+9) over PATRIOTSTotal overreaction line. The Jets can’t protect Mark Sanchez; the Pats can’t rush the passer. The Jets have trouble moving the ball; the Pats are down to 2½ above-average defensive players (Vince Wilfork, Patrick Chung and half of Devin McCourty, since he’s stinking this season). The Pats offense thrives on throwing the ball; the Jets defense has been astonishingly good against the pass (2 TDs, 6 picks, 57.1 QB rating so far). Throw in last January’s playoff win in Foxborough, the Jets’ consecutive stinkers at Oakland and Baltimore (really, they’re gonna get blown out three times in a row?), and Rex Ryan’s playing up the whole backs-against-the-wall thing and I’m genuinely terrified of this game. Final pick: New England 24, New York 20. But it won’t be easy. by the way …

Nick Mangold-Related Excuses (-53.5) over Dan Koppen-Related ExcusesI’m gearing this line directly toward Cris Collinsworth, who gleefully laid the 53½ last Sunday night and made it seem like the Jets were the first team in NFL history to lose their All-Pro starting center. please.

Mark Sanchez (-2.5) over Joe FlaccoFYI: this was the final line for their poop-flinging contest last Sunday night. Sanchez covered as David Garrard screamed at his TV, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I REALLY CAN’T START FOR ONE OF THESE TEAMS????” over and over again.

Larry David’s 2011 Season (-3) over Louis CK’s 2011 SeasonHeading into the homestretch of 2011’s Funniest Man of the Year award (mentioned multiple times in previous Mailbags), here’s the line right now, as well as my explanation: The second season of Louie wasn’t that funny. groundbreaking season, incredibly raw, totally memorable, totally rewatchable, featured some of the best scenes I can remember (including the incredible six-minute Dane Cook sequence) … but it was more of a dramedy than a comedy. It just was. Curb only tried to be funny; Louie tried to be more than that. What’s weird is that, if we added an unofficial “2011’s Creative Guy of the Year” award, Louis CK still wouldn’t win — you’d have to give it to Matt Stone and Trey Parker for juggling another South Park season with the incredibly successful “Book of Mormon.” Either way, one of my favorite comedy/creativity years in a while.

FALCONS (+6.5) over PackersI don’t love this pick (and I’m not a 2011 Falcons fan) … but man, if the Falcons can’t rise to the occasion for THIS game, especially after what happened last January, they’re a write-off for the season. at the very least, there’s some major back-door cover potential here. (Thinking.) God, I hate this pick.

Getting Julio Jones & Roddy White Confused (+8) over Getting Jon Gruden & Ron Jaworski’s Voices ConfusedNot since the days of Mike McKenzie and Al Harris have I gotten confused this often by two dreadlock-wearing teammates who look exactly the same until you can see their numbers. I can only imagine how their fantasy owners feel. Couldn’t White and Jones have a coin flip to see who has to cut the dreads?

LIONS (-5) over BearsYou want to grab the points. You want to be scared off by the SI Jinx, the whole “Too Many People on the Bandwagon” thing and the fact that Detroit fell behind by three scores in consecutive weeks. I get it. Here’s my counter: Imagine how crazy that Ford Field crowd is going to be. Imagine those two Cal Johnson touchdowns that you know are coming. Imagine you have that fired-up Lions defensive line attacking Chicago’s depleted offensive line. Imagine seeing a rattled Jay Cutler (15 sacks, 5 turnovers already) under siege play after play after play. Wouldn’t you be delighted to lay only five in this game? I’m not crazy about the Lions, because they can’t run the ball at all — seriously, what the hell happened to Jahvid Best??? — but that won’t matter this week.

Cal Johnson (-3) over everyone ElseLook, Jerry Rice is the best receiver of all time. Randy Moss is the most unstoppable deep threat of all time. these two facts are indisputable. But I can’t remember ever seeing a receiver basically say, “Just throw it up there and I’ll catch it, I don’t care how many people are around me” like Cal Johnson has been doing these past few weeks. when I was growing up, Philly used to throw alley-oop passes to an especially tall receiver named Harold Carmichael that always made you say, “Wow, why don’t they just do that every play?” The 2011 Cal Johnson is like watching Carmichael crossed with Moss at his peak. It’s insane. at the very least, every semi-long pass to Johnson has reached those old-school Moss “Uh-oh, he’s throwing to him, something’s gonna happen!!!!!” levels. I continue to be happy for the once-beleaguered Detroit sports fans. and by the way, thanks for knocking out the Yankees — it was the first time baseball made me smile in a week. enjoy the weekend.

Nice Iphone Apps List photos

Check out these iphone apps list images:

Iphone Photo App ExamplesImage by WanderingtheWorld (LostManProject.com)Portfolio | HDR Travel Blog | Tumblr | Contact MeBelow is an excerpt from my HDR travel blog. Cheers.

The above photo montage consists of pictures taken with Instagram, Hipstamatic and various other photo apps for the Iphone. I recently purchased an Iphone and I’m amazed at the quality of photos you get with the little gadget. But as I mentioned before, perhaps the most compelling reason to purchase an Iphone is the ability to edit and process the photo (apply filters, change the focus, tweak the color etc…) in real time. before the smartphone camera existed, one would have to take their photos off of their camera and upload them to a personal computer before editing the photos. With the advent of the smartphone, cameras now have computers in them, allowing for real-time processing and instant access to the web.

Here’s a list of cool Camera Apps for the Iphone that I use;

INSTAGRAM – this program allows filters to be applied immediately after taken them, giving the photos a retro-like look to them. It’s easier to use than other filter programs but I don’t think the filters are as strong as some of the other programs.

HIPSTAMATIC – Hipstamatic was actually a tangible camera invited by 2 individuals in 1980 from Wisconsin who enjoyed ‘hip-like’ filters from the 60s and 70s era. A couple of programmers stumbled across this camera and decided to make an app for it. It’s one of the highest grossing apps out there. It’s more technical in that you don’t have the option to change the filter after the photos been taken. you have to know what each filter does ahead of time.

CAMERA+ – this app is like an abbreviated version of Photoshop. it focuses more on technical processing aspects (crop, color, focal point, contrast, brightness), rather than the ‘retro filters’ of Instagram of Hipstamatic.

All of these apps give you the option of posting on Facebook to share with your friends, but are limited in fostering social connections through photographs. I think that’s the next step in the mobile sharing of photographs.
