Drugim riječima, imali ste dovoljno. da je vrijeme za promjenu. sada ste ozbiljni stručnjak koji je ozbiljan u izradi ipad vaš sljedeći laptop - vaš glavni alat za povećanje proizvodnosti, gdje upišete dokumente. sada trebate alate za ići zajedno sa svojim ipad. Ovaj pregled uključuje dva od kritičnih hardverskih sastojaka: U većini Čvrsto kućište se može kupiti novcem i vodeću prijenosni tipkovnicu. Počnimo s čvrstom predmetu. To je Pelican i1075, koji ima popis cijena 79,99 dolara, iako Amazon (AMZN) će ga prodati za vas za 52,25 dolara. Pelican i1075 torbica štiti vaš ipad i mali pregršt dodataka od pada, kao i iz pao tri noge u ocean. to je odlična za tu rafting niz Grand Canyon, gdje će pogoditi torba stijene i biti potopljen vodom s vremena na vrijeme. Naime, Pelican slučaj uklapa tipkovnice Apple Bluetooth unutra, zbog čega Apple (AAPL) dućan će vam prodati za 69 dolara. Ovo je izvrsna tipkovnica. Međutim, ukoliko ste ga nosite u vrećici kao što je ovaj Pelikan i1075, to nije lijepo prenosiv. ne želite da se hodanje gore i dolje na ulicu s ovom tipkovnicom u ruci, zaglavio se protiv ipad sama. Pelican i1075 slučaj rješava problem u oštrim i metalik Apple tipkovnice, što je, naravno, inače izvrstan tipkovnica. Ali što ako je potrebna tipkovnica kada ste na "svjetlo dužnosti" - kao što su jednostavno hodanje u kafiću na vikend i želite ga koristiti tamo za jedan sat ili tako?

ipad Pribor za ozbiljan Professional

Apple je danas odlučio dati 45 milijarde dolara u gotovini natrag u svoje dioničare. a što ga čini veliki dan za vlasnike Apple dionica, to je depresivno trenutak za ljude u potrazi za sljedeću veliku inovaciju iz Apple.

Dividende i dionica buybacks ne stvaraju nove proizvode. ne uložiti novac u komponente, dobavljačima, ili up-and-coming tvrtki. ne zaposliti ljude, poremetiti industrije ili poticati startups. oni ne stvaraju radikalne nove proizvodne procese koji nadilaze stanje umjetnosti naprijed.

Dividende ne bi tvrtke više etički. oni se ne kreću zbor radnih mjesta u SAD-u ne bi Apple koristiti manje otrovne materijale ili manje sukoba minerale (ako je Apple koristi one uopće.)

Dividende smisla za velike, stabilne tvrtke koje ne mogu imati puno prilika za inovacije. u tom slučaju, zašto sjede na novcu - zašto ne vratiti da ljudi koji bi mogli nešto učiniti s njim? Davanje daleko 45 milijarda dolara izgleda kao tvrdnjom da je Apple barem djelomično odustao od figuring out korisnih stvari koje treba učiniti s novcem.

Apple kaže da je i dalje ulagati u proizvode, i naravno to je: Apple ne ide bez posla. ali očito Apple sada ulaže manje nego što bi inače.

Apple Novac Mogućnosti Otkako smo saznali da je Apple imao 100 milijardi dolara gotovine, mi smo bili nagađa o tome što će učiniti s njom. Najviše nade guessers sugerirao da Apple ili kupiti tvrtku (ili nekoliko), zaključavanje dolje i ulaganje u nove komponente, ili poboljšati svoje etičke proizvodnih procesa u svjetlu nekoliko kritika svojih kineskih izvođača.

JA je otišao kroz neke mogućnosti u siječnju kad sam predložio da Apple već ulažu u nove tehnologije, kutak dio tržišta, razviti ekskluzivne tehnike proizvodnje, stvoriti novu liniju proizvoda ili zaključati dolje sadržaja ponude. To su sve uzbudljive mogućnosti koje će poboljšati iProducts za potrošače, a one koje su se obično ne izvedivo za tvrtke bez puno raspoloživog novca.

Od tada, mnogi čitatelji su chimed u drugom ideju: Apple kreće značajan broj radnih mjesta od Kine do SAD-u, gdje se proizvodi će biti izgrađen pod boljim uvjetima rada i gdje je tvrtka dodatno će potaknuti američku ekonomiju.

Ništa od toga se događa. i ne samo Apple slijeganje off ideji premještanja radnih mjesta u SAD-u, tvrtka je neko vrijeme da se vina, o tome kako ne žele platiti porez na dohodak. Cry mi rijeku. a to je svakako pametno iz perspektive dioničara Apple za tvrtke izmicanje porez gdje god je to moguće, kao taxpaying američki stav da ne čine da se osjećam toplo prema tvrtke.

Naravno, US-based primatelji dividendi će morati platiti porez na njih, ali to samo pomiče porezno opterećenje iz Apple (što znamo da ima veliku hrpu novca) pojedinim dioničarima (koji se ne može). i to nije kao novac isparavanja. To može biti uloženo u nešto drugo, samo ne od strane Apple. Ne postoji način da se zna.

Sad, predvidljiv Move To je predvidljiva. To je sve kao normalna poduzeća. To je tužno i depresivno.

Da, Apple ima fiducijarni odgovornost prema svojim dioničarima. ali Steve Jobs-a Apple je krajnji dugo pogled: da je najbolji način da se poboljša Appleov vrijednost je koristiti svoju imovinu kako bi odlične proizvode.

Dividenda izjava čini izgledaju kao da ulazimo u novu eru za Apple. tvrtka je izazivač mentaliteta desetljećima, ali sada je stvarno razmišljati poput velikih tvrtki. to znači da je riječ o izbjegavanju poreza i obogaćujući dioničarima umjesto da se fokusiraju na stvaranje odlične proizvode s etičkim procesa. kao netko tko voli inovacije i netko tko plaća porez, ja teško razveseliti taj pristup.

Mogu li tvrde u moje zakone koje žive sa mnom cijelu godinu, a njihov jedini prihod je socijalna sigurnost i ili invalidnost? Ja razumijem 5 pravila tvrdeći da netko drugi od djeteta, ali ne invalidnosti i socijalne sigurnosti ubrajaju dolara 3700 granice? to je samo novac su primili u 2011 niti jedna imali bilo koju vrstu posla.

Odgovor: Scott - hvala vam za vaše pitanje.

Ja mogu samo dati pregled onoga što vam je potrebno pogledati jer vaši komentari ne objašnjava određenu vrstu koristi se primio.

Postoji nekoliko vrsta naknada plaća u Social Security uprave. Jedan od njih, Dopunski Security dohodak nije oporeziv i ne smatra se dijelom bruto prihoda.

Social Security Retirement i socijalne sigurnosti invalidnine nisu oporezive, a ne smatraju se bruto prihod, osim ako su ispunjeni određeni uvjeti.

Općenito, dio tih koristi su oporezive pri 1/2 polovine od prednosti plus sve druge dohotke, uključujući i neoporezive interesa je više od osnovnog iznosa određenog podnošenja status.

Na primjer, baza iznos za podnošenje status Oženjen Podnošenje Zajednički je 32.000 dolara.

Invalidnosti, ako je u obliku mirovine je obično oporezuju kao plaća prije donošenja dobi umirovljenja i kao mirovinu nakon umirovljenja.

Ako dio invaliditetom plaća radnika naknadu, taj dio je tax free i ne smatra se dio bruto prihoda.

Da bi vam pomoći u određivanju ako je 3.700 dolara bruto prihoda granica sastao svibanj želite pregledati dva internih publikacija Revenue Service, Objavljivanje 915 pokriva pogodnosti socijalnog osiguranja i objavljivanje 525 pokriva i nontaxable oporezivi dohodak.

Obje ove publikacije dostupni su na IRS web stranice i irs.gov.

Jesu li te naknade uključene u bruto dohotka?

U najgorem slučaju, potpisivanje znači New York Yankees imat će prilično skupo četvrti outfielder.

Ali, vraga to darn, on će biti najbolji četvrti outfielder vani s tom vrstom novca.

Dodavanje Yoenis Cespedes dati Yankees jak teren s puno fleksibilnosti. Sudeći prema izviđačkih izvješća, Cespedes vještina će omogućiti mu da igra bilo koji teren pozicije iako je njegov centar polje prirodno mjesto.

Bio bih biti u mogućnosti dati redovite outfielders ostatak za vrijeme tih širokih prostranstava. i uz to fleksibilnosti, yankees također može dati drugim početak odmoriti tako da rotacija u DH.

Naravno, Isus Montero je tamo, ali ja bih se osjećati bolje ako je 22-year-old će naći mjesto za igru.

Yoenis Cespedes mogao vrlo dobro završiti se pored zvijezda, ali to je samo ako on može opstati u odsutnosti.

New York Yankees vjerojatno će mu dati metak u proljeće trening, te ga držati na klupi, osim ako on može dokazati suprotno.

Međutim, ako on bori se previše, nemojte biti iznenađeni ako Yankees poslati svoj cijenjeni potpisivanje do maloljetnika za neke fine tuning.

Izviđači vjeruju Cespedes ima sve što je potrebno da bude veliki igrač u odsutnosti, pitanje je kako će uskoro to biti? kao i sada, on je vrlo sirovi izgledi koji nije suočen Major League pitchers ili čak igrao bilo Major League igre.

Krivulja učenja bi se moglo pokazati previše i Yankees ga mogao držati u maloljetnika dok je on spreman.

Na taj način, kada je ne vratiti se, vjerojatno ćete se pridružiti Isusa Montero, Austin Romine i Manny Banuelos i Dellin Betances kao i mladih topovima franšize.

Ti dečki, zajedno sa Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson i CC Sabathia će formirati novi temelj momčadi i imati višegodišnjih prvaka momčad kao što su to učinili u kasnim 1990-ih s Derek Jeter i Mariano Rivera, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada i Andy Pettite.

Za Yoenis Cespedes da bi bilo regularno vrijeme igre, New York Yankees će morati premjestiti jednu od svojih outfielders.

Najvjerojatnije oklada je Nick Swisher, ali Brett Gardner je također zanimljiva opcija koja ću istražiti kasnije.

Budući da vjerojatno ćete biti uzimajući puno novaca, ja bih radije, ako on nije bio vod igrač, ali njegove vještine još ne može biti spremni nositi glavne lige svakodnevice.

Cespedes mogao završiti kao u voda s mogućnošću da s punim radnim vremenom igrač u 2013 ili izvan nje.

Yankees mogao vod Cespedes s jednim od svojih mladih dečki u maloljetnicima ili branitelja dok se oni osjećaju da je spreman preuzeti kao usamljeni starter.

Yoenis Cespedes je outfielder i New York Yankees To teren izgleda prilično postavljena. Dakle, ima smisla da bi se moglo razmišljati Yankees kretanja jedan od onih outfielders bilo to Izvan sezone ili putem trgovinskog roka.

Naravno, to također može značiti da su neki drugi igrač može dobiti trguje, kao i, možda čak i sebe Cespedes.

Trgovina uključuje Cespedes očito će doći tijekom same sezone jednom Yankees i druge momčadi vidjeti što on može napraviti u većim ili čak Amerike maloljetnika.

Međutim, to je vjerojatnije da trgovina uključuje drugog igrača, mogla bi se postrojilo se treba Yankees ga potpisati.

Brian Cashman ne bi ga potpisati, osim ako su imali plan i taj plan samo može biti blockbuster trgovina.

Mi ćemo pokriti dva (zapravo tri) igrači koji su vjerojatno da će biti premještena sa Cespedes potpisivanja.

Najviše očigledan izbor bi bilo da brod jedan od new york yankees To drugim outfielders u drugu momčad.

Oni se neće premjestiti Curtis Granderson, njegove 41 home runs i njegov MVP poput sezone, što znači Brett Gardner i Nick Swisher će biti oni koji bi se preselili.

Brett Gardner je mlađi, više svestran opcija, dok je Nick Swisher power-brojke veteran i dobro clubhouse prisutnost.

Yankees željeli da se presele SWISHER je ugovor preko Gardner, ali Gardner može biti onaj koji će zapovijedati bolju cijenu na tržištu trgovine.

Ili bi se moglo zavesti tim u strašan potreba teren pomoć na dio s back-end početnu bacač, samo netko tko bi mogao dati Yankees neke dubine, što je ono što doista trebate.

Niti jedan od onih dečki samo može donijeti još asa ili ovjerena odbijaju. 2 do New Yorku, ali ovaj sljedeći dečko možda.

Jim McIsaac / Getty Images

Čovječe, to izgleda kao što je ovaj Gvido ime je uključen sa svim New York Yankees glasina ili što?

Isus Montero je daleko Yankees 'najbolji izgledi. On je prikazano što on može učiniti na Major League razini, a on je dobio mnoštvo potencijala, i njegov šišmiš srne ionako. Mi ćemo morati pričekati na njegov rukavica nadoknaditi.

Samo o svakoj momčadi u ligi bi volio da ga imaju i Yankees bi volio da ga zadrži, ali ponekad se stvari jednostavno ne rade.

Od sada, Isuse Montero nema "položaj". On je Yankees DH i igrao kao Lovac u manjim ligama. Međutim, yankees ne vjeruju mu rukavice dovoljno da ga igrati iza ploče svakodnevnog i oni također imaju Russell Martin.

Ako Yankees prijavite Yoenis Cespedes, a ne trgovati jedan od njihovih outfielders, Isusa Montero, dijete bez položaju, bi mogao biti jedan ići.

Yankees mogao stvoriti rotacije za DH licu mjesta i na taj način dati svoj stariji igrači malo odmora barem jednom tjedno.

Vise Montero će također dati Yankees najbolje šanse za slijetanje koja zvijezda bacač pitch iza KZ Sabathia oni žude toliko.

New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman zna kako je to imati vlasnički ići preko njegove glave i napraviti potpisivanje. On je prošao kroz nju šef, George Steinbrenner, i njegov sin, Hank, to učinio prošle sezone s potpisivanjem Rafael Soriano.

Cashman je pokazala sposobnost da održi što pojačanja i obrta, kada dijelovi ne zbrajaju. Potpisivanje Yoenis Cespedes ne bi Cashman poput stvar za napraviti.

Što znači da je netko, vjerojatno chip off starog bloka Hank Steinbrenner, zove metak te ga potpisuje ili ga zatražio da mu biti potpisan.

To ide s teorijom tipka za paniku, jer ako Hank Steinbrenner počinje zovete metak umjesto Cashman, yankees mogli vidjeti ponavljanje 2001-2007 doba kada je tata George Steinbrenner zvao metak i Yankees su trošenje novca svake godine.

To bi moglo značiti razdor u uredu Yankees prednje i pogoršanja tima. Dakle, ako je to znak Yankees Cespedes, nadam se Cashman je onaj koji ga je htio.

Yoenis Cespedes i ny yankees: Što to bi moglo značiti i kako bi rad

Sacramento Gradsko vijeće je odobrilo nekoliko preliminarne mjere kako bi se financirati novi stadion, uključujući i ključni korak ranije ovog tjedna pita tvrtki zainteresiranih za zakup gradskih operacije Downtown parkirna doći naprijed. Unaprijed prihoda od parkiranja posla mogao dati 200 milijuna dolara staviti prema areni.

To bi bio najveći komad novca za projekt, koji bi trebao koštati najmanje 406 milijuna dolara. Parking mjera donosi se 7-2 glasova. Konačni Glasovanje se očekuje u veljači na cijelom financijskom planu - s pojedinostima javnih i privatnih doprinosa, uključujući i iz NBA i kraljeva.

"Mi smo ohrabreni da se nešto može učiniti. Očito, mi smo ostavljajući da je do gradonačelnika i grada i NBA ", rekao je Gavin porno stranicama. ", Ali NBA drži nas upoznati svega što se događa."

Sacramento Gradonačelnik Kevin Johnson, bivši NBA All-Star, planira se sastati s povjerenikom NBA David Stern i drugim menadžerima koji u New Yorku u petak nastaviti razgovore. Centralne Valley jedini veliki profesionalni franšize gotovo se preselio u Anaheim ovog ljeta, ali liga i Maloofs odlučio je gradu posljednju šansu za odobrenje izvodljiv plan financiranja.

Dok je 1. ožujka rok izrečena, liga je također proširena da prije godinu dana, dok su Maloofs potjeru mogućnosti da se presele momčad u južnu Kaliforniju. Joe porno stranicama, rekao je Gradsko vijeće je široka raspored i dalje daju tim dovoljno vremena za donijeti odluku - ako sve ostane po planu.

"Mi smo optimistični dečki, uvijek su bili. mi gledamo na pozitivnim dijelovima ", rekao je Joe porno stranicama. "Mislimo da dok gradonačelnik nastavlja sa svojim idejama, mi ćemo vidjeti ako oni mogu doći do ostvarenje."

U Maloofs Također je istaknuo porast prodaje ulaznica, korporativni sponzori i ukupnom uzbuđenja rastući moment sile ka Sacramento rješenje.

Johnson uvjeren vlasnike na NBA Board of Governors sastanka u New Yorku ranije ove godine kako bi tim od koji se kreće ovog ljeta. je osigurao obećanja - koja je kasnije postala provjere - za više od 10 milijuna dolara u Kings sponzorskih i ulaznica prodaje, u suštini kupnje Sacramento put ove sezone.

"Zajednica je bio stvarno velik", rekao je Joe porno stranicama. "Naša prodaja ulaznica ide kroz krov. Naše tvrtke sponzori su put prema gore. Mislim da smo drugi u ligi u skupini prodaje.

Odabir savršen odmor dar može biti teško, osobito kad je riječ o određivanju odgovarajuće Apple prijenosni media player dati tvoj najdraži i najbliži. Ove godine, međutim, to je najmanji malo lakše. I to je zato što Apple je učinio sve nas naklonost ostavljajući prošlogodišnji iPod lineup na mjestu. Ako vam se svidio izgled prošlogodišnjeg iPod dvoličnost, iPod Nano, iPod classic i iPod touch, vi ćete se sviđaju baš kao i ove godine sam se promijenio vrlo malo.

Koji kupiti-bilo za sebe ili kao dar, ovisi puno o novac koji ste spremni potrošiti i što želite da iPod učiniti. Želite li iPod da svira samo-nema video? imate dva izbora (točno i samo jedan od njih ima zaslon). Trebate iPod koji pohranjuje veliki komad ogroman iTunes knjižnica ima pravo na iPod? Apple nudi jednu savršen iPod. o tome kako je iPod koji je jednako kod kuće igrati igre i slanje e-pošte kao što je puštanje glazbe, podcasts, i filmova? imate do tri izbora (ovisno o tome koliko ste posebno o uređaju zapravo nosi ime "iPod"). pomoći kako bi ti izbori više jasno, pogledajmo u ovom (i posljednje) godine sastav od Appleovih prijenosnih media playera.

iPod shuffle

Današnji $ US49 4G iPod shuffle izgleda vrlo slično 2G shuffle od davno, ali, za razliku od te ranije iPod modela, ako vam je stalo da možete se kretati na uređaj držite na VoiceOver gumb (ili pritiskom na regulator na dodatne $ 29 Apple slušalice s Udaljena i Mic). to uzrokuje iPod objaviti ime izvođača i trenutno svira pjesmu. Pritisnite i držite tipku slušalice VoiceOver ili kontrolera i iPod popisuje sve svoje playliste.

Gotovo trgu 4G iPod shuffle se nudi u jednom 2GB kapaciteta. što može stati oko 500 4 minute pjesme kodirane u 128-Kbps AAC u tom 2GB flash za pohranu. To je dostupan u pet boja-crna, plava, zelena, narančasta i roza. Kao shuffles prije njega, ovaj nosi isječak, omogućujući vam sigurno priključiti stvar za odjeću, ruksak ili torbicu. I, kao što su iPod shuffle 2G, nema ekran nego na svom licu, Volume up, Volume Down, Slijedeći / Fast-forward, Previous / Rewind, a reprodukcija / Pause tipke.

Misija iPod shuffle ostaje isti. To je Appleov iPod najjeftiniji i ima preko day's-vrijednosti glazbe (opet, uz glazbu, kodirao u 128-Kbps AAC), što je solidan izbor, kao pratilac treninga ili lošeg dječjom prvi iPod. iako je plovna do VoiceOver, postoje daleko lakše iPod za rad. I, naravno, ne znači da nema prikaza videa ili dodatne značajke koje zahtijevaju zaslona (kontakti i kalendari, na primjer).

Najbolji za: sportaši (i wanna-biti sportaši), djeca, one koji vole pritisnite gumb za reprodukciju i otići o svom poslovanju, tko traži rezervnu, kick-oko iPod.

Nije za: Ljudi u potrazi za jednostavnu navigaciju svoje glazbene knjižnice, one žele da nose puno glazbe; pojedincima koje žele iPod na kojem će se gledati video isječke.

iPod nano

U 2010 Apple promijenio nano je oblik, ali u zaokret od tradicije, tvrtka ima ukloniti umjesto da ih dodao je. Naime, 2009-a Kliknite kotača pete generacije (5G) iPod nano mogu igrati video, sported niske razlučivosti videokameru, a može prikazivati ​​kontakata, kalendara i bilješke. 6g iPod nano ima manji ekran, touch sučelje, a ne Click Wheel, ne mogu pucati ili prikazivanje video bilo koje vrste, a dijeli u potpunosti s kontakata, kalendara i bilješke. To se, međutim, uključuju FM radio s mogućnošću međupohrana 15 minuta audio, baš kao što je na 5G iPod nano, a to može prikazati statične slike koje sinkronizaciju na njega. Software Update izdao je u jesen 2011 je dodao niz stilski sat lica na nano za one koji vole nositi kao sat. iPod nano sada je jako glazbeni player i malo drukčije.

Dostupan u 8 GB ($ US129) i 16 GB ($ US149) kapaciteti i u sedam boja (srebrna, siva, plava, zelena, narančasta, ružičasta i crvena proizvoda) 6g iPod nano je, na neki način, više kao prikaz na koje se iPod shuffle od nasljednika na 5G iPod nano. On zarađuje ovu usporedbu zbog svoje male veličine i nedostatak hardverskih kontrola play-igrate i navigaciju kroz njega putem on-screen touch kontrolama ili s dodatnom slušalicom koja sadrži inline kontroler. I za neke ljude-one koji žele lagan, više plovna, više kapaciteta za njihov iPod workouts, na primjer, koji je savršen. To je također slatka mala stvar.

Najbolji za: Vježbanje iPod vlasnicima, starija djeca koja može vjerovati da ga ne izgubi, prometna povezanost javnim prijevoznim putnike; svakoga tko želi nositi razumnu količinu glazbu u modernom pakiranju.

Nije za: Osobe koje žele iPod na kojem će se gledati video ili zadržati kontakte, kalendare, i bilješke, koji pronaći sučelje osjetljivo na dodir nije prikladan za svaku namjenu.

iPod classic

Uzeli smo za to nazove na "Smrt" iPod gledati oko Macworld ureda. Kao jedan iPod koji još uvijek drži mehanički hard disk-i model koji nije vidio update u nekoliko godina, držimo čeka Apple povući utikač na stvar. Pa ipak, iz godine u godinu, ona živi. I to ne za uvjerljiv razlog, ako je potrebno puno prostora za pohranu (što znači više od 100GB), iPod classic je vaš jedini izbor.

$ US249 iPod classic je dostupan u srebrnoj boji ili crno-bijelo u jednom 160 GB kapaciteta. Ona će nositi 40.000 4-minute pjesme kodirane u 128-Kbps AAC, koji radi na malo više od 111 dana neprestane glazbe. Osim toga, može igrati videa i pokazati slike na svom 2,5-inčni zaslon u boji i držite kontakata, kalendara i bilješke. ništa novo, ništa posebno jeftin, samo puno prostora za pohranu sve ili većinu svoje medijskoj knjižnici.

Najbolji za: Ljudi koji žele da se sve (ili veliki dio) od svojih medijskih iTunes knjižnica s njima.

Nije za: Oni kojima je kapacitet nije tako važno kao iPod touch je lice zalazak, slabovidnih i slijepih, koji će ga pronaći vrlo teško za navigaciju ovu iPod sučelje.

iPod touch

Četvrte generacije (4G) iPod touch je najbliži Apple je došao da imaju paritet sa iPhone sa svojim uključivanje prednjeg i stražnjeg okrenuta kamera, FaceTime podršku, HD video snimanje, podrška za mobilne verzije Apple iMovie, A4 procesor, Retina zaslon i ugrađeni mikrofon.

Dok 4G iPod touch i iPhone-a 4S-a značajke su slične, oni nisu isti. Naravno, osjetljiv na dodir iPod ne podržava iPhone telefona značajke-glasovni poziv i tekst i medijske poruka. nor does it include the Siri intelligent assistant feature. It also lacks the iPhone's GPS circuitry and can't transfer data over an EDGE or 3G network. And while, like the iPhone 4S, it has a rear-facing camera and a Retina display, the iPod touch's rear-facing camera is much lower resolution (.7 megapixels versus the iPhone 4S's 8 megapixels) and the Retina display is not nearly as readable off-angle as that of the iPhone's display. at the same time, it also doesn't require a two-year commitment with monthly charges.

The iPod touch comes in three capacities–8GB, 32GB, and 64GB–priced respectively at $199, $299, and $399. these models, in ascending order, hold 1750 128-kbps AAC-encoded songs or 10 hours of video, 7000 songs or 40 hours of video, and 14,000 songs or 80 hours of video. while the iPod touch may not match the capacity of the iPod classic, a 64GB iPod touch that can hold 40 two-hour movies is nothing to sneeze at.

One of the things that makes the touch such a great iPod is the 3.5-inch (diagonal) touchscreen display. because of its bright and fairly large display, this is the iPod you'll want to take to bed with you when you're in the mood for a late-night movie. unlike with the iPod classic, this is an iPod you can stare at throughout a double-feature without squinting for hours afterwards.

Svi iPod dotakne podržati stvaranje Genius playliste i Shake za Shuffle, djeluju kao Internet aparata (za pregledavanje Weba, e-mail, YouTube, iCloud sinkronizacija, i vrijeme i obnove dionice preko Wi-Fi), uključiti izgrađen-in govornik dobro dovoljno za FaceTime i igre zvukovima, i neka vam kupnju i download medije iz iTunes Store, aplikacije iz App Store, i ebooks iz Apple iBookstore. Oni također podržavaju iTunes odgovarajuće.

Everyone is always looking for different ways to make money and save money. by using coupon codes when you're shopping online, you can save a ton of money on your everyday purchases. this isn't just on items like clothes or toys, but you can also save big on beauty products and toiletries as well. with the current downfall in the economy, people want to save all of the money that they can. Coupon codes make buying the things that you need more affordable, and you feel better while you shop knowing that you're saving a ton of money. there are several different methods that can be used to get the online coupon codes that are available all over the Internet, and using a few of them can be the best way to find the best deals, and to get the most rewarding codes possible.

Using a coupon code is very easy for anyone to do. the code has to be entered in somewhere during the checkout process. the computer will tell you right away if the code is valid. if the code worked, you will see the amount of money that you saved at the bottom, or sometimes right beside items. different codes that are common to find are free shipping coupon codes, codes for a certain percentage off a purchase, or codes for spend so much money get a specific amount off your purchase. These are easy to use, and they can really save you a lot of money. if an item that you want to buy is already on sale at 15% off, and you have a 20% off coupon code, you are going to save 35% total. For a $50.00 purchase you're going to save $17.50. That is a lot of money, and people really shop around to see where they can get the most for their dollar.

The first way to get coupon codes is to go to the company website, and sign up for their emailing alert list. the company will send you an email every so often with a notification of sales or promotions going on, and also with coupon codes to use when you check out. These coupons will come over time, and you can use them when you see them. some websites will have codes displayed on the site. be sure to remember that you were intending on using a code to checkout with. if you forget, the site isn't going to remind you to enter your code. there are several couponing sites on the Internet that only talk about couponing. the sites feature printable coupons and coupon codes, along with sale alerts. Type in the name of your favorite store at one of these sites, and see what different coupons are available.

People often also like to share coupon codes. Stores will send out coupon codes to customers who spend a certain amount of money in their stores, or customers who have recently made a purchase. the customers who get these codes will post them in forums so others can also use them while checking out. if you are shopping online and leave some items in your cart without going through with the transaction, the site may send you and email offering you a promo code to persuade you to follow through with the purchase. Sharing these types of codes is helpful as well. For those who like to shop in store, be sure to save all of your receipts. on printed receipts you can easily find coupon codes for your next visit in the store, or to use on the Internet shopping.

Using codes can save you a lot of money throughout the year on a variety of items. Shopping online at a discount paper products manufacturer can be very affordable if you have a free shipping coupon. this would allow you to get supplies like paper plates and toiletries to last for several months at extremely low prices, and the items are delivered directly to your door. Large wholesalers often have coupon codes for new memberships, or coupons for free memberships as well.

If the cost of living has got you down, use coupons to get back on your feet. the money that you can save during one trip to the store using coupons can be enough to make a difference in your everyday life. Coupons can be used in thousands of stores around the globe, and you can start using coupons right away to see an immediate difference in your shopping bill.

Cut the Cost of Living With Coupons

When impulse spending gets the better of her, Sheila Baldago normally does two things. first, she hides the shopping bags somewhere safe — in her friend's car or in the stack of clothes in her closet. second, she keeps mum about it.

It's not that she's scared her husband will fly off the handle if he finds out about her shopping spree.

"I just feel guilty whenever I buy something for myself and he doesn't do the same," Baldago, who works as an account executive in Dubai, explains.

"But when I get caught, I explain that shopping reduces my stress and it's one way of rewarding myself for working so hard."

She insists a little self-indulgence is fine, so long as she doesn't splurge on expensive stuff and put the family's budget in danger.

"I get away with it because somehow, I know he will find out for sure and I can tell him everything then," she said.

"I don't mind keeping money secrets if it's just spent on little things because I do that. But I wouldn't like it if it's a huge amount. I think the spouse should know if you're spending Dh500 and above."

Whatever you call it — secret spending or financial infidelity — it seems a lot of people in the UAE are guilty of it. a survey by Visa released in September 2011 revealed a penchant for secret shopping among UAE residents.

According to the research, which was conducted among 980 shoppers of Souq.com, nearly 40 per cent admitted to having secretly bought items online without telling their partner.

More than one in ten (14 per cent) confessed to spending secretly between Dh1,000 and Dh5,000, while a small portion (3 per cent) owned up to making larger clandestine purchases worth up to Dh20,000.

Richard Taylor of Acuma Wealth Management isn't surprised to hear about couples keeping money secrets. in fact, experience tells him that women are more likely to lie about the cost of clothes, make up and furniture, while men are more likely to lie about how much money they have burnt on gambling, socialising or drinking and expensive gadgets.

"however, I wouldn't go so far as to say that many lie [outright] about what they are spending, although obviously this will go on. I think it would be fairer to say that most couples tell the occasional white lie and can be pretty economical with the truth — and about different things."

But when it comes to money and relationships, is secret spending bad or good? in the words of Steve Gregory, managing partner at Holborn Assets, people have a right to have money of their own, to spend as they wish.

But it is when clandestine spending gets out of hand that problems arise.

"I think people may lie about their spending, at least occasionally, just to avoid conflict, and I also think this may actually be healthy as long as it is occasional," he said.

"after all, when receiving a birthday present, we don't really have a right to demand to know how much it cost our partner, does it?

"It's when people hide debt issues from one another that trouble brews. the offended party will be quite rightly angry to discover they need to bail out the partner when the bank starts calling constantly."

CESI Debt Solutions, a nonprofit organisation, cited one case of a happily married 65-year-old, whose secret purchases started to pile up. Like many people, Victoria Johnson (name changed) was also buying things for herself, her children and friends without the knowledge of her husband. the purchases added up and her debt clocked $17,000.

"I never meant to run up that big a bill," she said.

"I kept saying I would pay it off, but I just never did, and soon it got out of hand. by then I was embarrassed, ashamed and I didn't tell my husband because I knew it would cause problems," a CESI press statement quoted her as saying.

Luxury car addiction

Dr Rogayeh McCarthy of the Counselling and Development Clinic in Dubai has encountered quite a lot of UAE residents guilty of secret spending. one husband addicted to luxury cars is hiding one Ferrari in South Africa, just to avoid conflict with his wife.

"he has two Ferraris here and one Ferrari in another country. he does not want his wife to know about it because she will definitely get angry, knowing that they don't own a house yet. But he just loves Ferraris. His priorities are different."

McCarthy warns that keeping secrets can sometimes be indicative of a more serious problem in the marriage. Some people keep secrets because they don't feel secure in the relationship or they simply want to avoid conflict with their controlling spouse.

"For example, there's a wife who purchased houses without her husband's knowledge or she's buying land in India behind her partner's back. There is no sense of togetherness and transparency. the wife in this scenario is insecure about the future. People who do things like this feel they have to build up their own future without their spouse in the picture so that in case something bad happens, they are in a fin-ancially stable position.

"Keeping money secrets is a sign that there is already a problem. it is not just destroying trust in the marriage, but the family's budget as well.

"you have a husband who is obsessed with [a] bicycle and he keeps secretly buying stuff related to his hobby. Eventually, his spending piles up and it gets out of control. Ultimately, the family's budget suffers."

Taylor says secret spending isn't a major problem "in general," but it can pose serious issues when it gets out of control.

"in a healthy, solvent relationship, I really don't think it causes major problems if the wife spends a bit more on the things that matter to her that the husband doesn't understand, and vice versa."

"in fact, bar the occasional argument when the other party finds out the true cost of certain items/activities, I think it can actually contribute to a happier relationship with both parties getting what they want without any major downside," he said.

"however, as with all things in life, there is a line and once that line is crossed, it can become a major problem that has the capacity to ruin relationships and even lives."

"I have seen situations where it has got completely out of control and a spouse has been in hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt, all spent on discretionary lifestyle items — of which their spouse had nearly no idea," he said.

"It's one of the worst situations I've ever encountered as a financial adviser and when this sort of deceit has gone on for so long, it is literally devastating for all parties involved."

The cost of financial infidelity

I don't know about you, but there is one thing that I hate of every single model of iPhone and iPod (iPod Classic, Nano, Touch, etc)

I hate the fact that I can't listen to it unless I have my earphone/headphone attached well, that won't be a big problem if I simply want to listen to my favorite songs while jogging around in the morning or running on the treadmill in my favorite gym. but, I hate to use my headphone while working in my desk. Why doesn't Apple create a built-in speaker for this tiny yet powerful music player?

Well, since complaining won't solve anything, I decided to get myself a portable dock speaker system for my iPod. however, it wasn't until I arrived at the electronic store that I realized there are so many selections out there. in fact, I got overwhelmed by those vast selections and unable to choose the best one for met. I decided to postpone my purchase and do some researches in the internet before I spend my money on those systems.

Based on my researches, I found that Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S715i could very well be the best option for me. Logitech is a well-known manufacturer with decades of flawless history. it was founded in 1930 and has continued to deliver high quality products time after time. Logitech S715i is certainly not an exception

There are several reasons why I chose S715i over other speaker systems. however, the most prominent ones are:

1. it fits whatever type of iPod and iPhone that you have. in fact, it was designed with the Universal Dock C connector to perfectly match any iPod products.

2. it is light and slim. Unlike other systems that are bulk and heavy, Logitech S715i is light and slim. its design is compact and portable; weighing no more than 3.5 pounds. I could conveniently carry it around within my bag.

3. it produces excellent audio quality It's indeed a small speaker system, but produces powerful sound. the 8 custom-tuned speaker drivers helped it to produce deep bass and crisp high notes. It's hard to believe that such beastly performance could be packed into something so portable

And while his isolationist brand of foreign policy may be a non-starter for some establishment Republicans, its appeal among independents is helping Paul gain ground in a crowded Republican field. His boost is an indication of just how volatile the Republican presidential race is in this state and across the country.

“the good news is the country has changed in the last four years in a way I never would have believed,” Paul told about 80 Republicans and independents at the Pizza Ranch restaurant in this town on Friday. “In the last four years, something dramatic has happened.”

What has helped Paul rise here has been more methodic than dramatic.

His campaign here is a stark comparison to the shoestring, rag-tag operation of four years ago that attracted a narrow band of supporters.

This time, he has built an Iowa organization with the look of a more mainstream campaign.

He has raised more money, hired three times the staff and started organizing his campaign in Iowa earlier than before. Paul was the first candidate to begin airing television ads this fall, and has maintained the most consistent advertising schedule in Iowa.

“We have a more structured, methodical, traditional campaign with Ron Paul here in Iowa more often,” said Drew Ivers, an Iowa Republican Party central committee member and Paul's Iowa campaign chairman.

Paul is better-known this time, and has spent almost twice as much time in Iowa at this point in the 2012 campaign than in his bid for the 2008 caucuses. Paul finished in fifth place, closely behind Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson in Iowa in 2008.

The intense focus on Iowa this time may be working, with surveys showing Paul is reaching deeper into the caucus electorate.

A recent Bloomberg News poll showed him in close second place in Iowa, behind Herman Cain and narrowly ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

The same poll showed more Iowa caucus-goers had been contacted by the Paul campaign than any of the other six GOP campaigns actively competing for the Jan. 3 caucuses.

Two weeks earlier, the Des Moines Register's poll showed Paul in solid third place, behind Cain and Romney.

And Paul seems to have been able to sustain his support after finishing a close second in the Iowa GOP's August straw poll, while straw poll winner Michele Bachmann, a Minnesota representative, has dipped in Iowa polls since.

But it's unclear whether Paul can cobble together broad enough support to win the caucuses with a plurality of the vote. at the very least, he will impact the results of the contest. but to what degree is anyone's guess.

The one thing that hasn't changed from four years ago is Paul's style.

He remains the mild-mannered, professorial former obstetrician, delivering long explanations of the history of US monetary and trade policy.

In Anamosa, the audience of more than 130 at the small town's community center applauded when he said he would propose cutting $1 trillion from the federal deficit his first year in office, primarily by vastly reducing US foreign aid.

But he also called for shrinking the military budget by reducing the US military presence around the world, arguing that Congress and military contractors are too closely tied together.

“Yes, we have to have national security, but we don't get it by bankrupting our country and being in everyone's face constantly,” Paul said.

The sentiment rings true with Charles Betz, a 47-year-old network engineer from nearby Tama, Iowa. he has typically been an independent voter, but is registered as a Republican so he can caucus for Paul on Jan. 3.

It's Paul's foreign and national security policy that has drawn fire from establishment Republicans. former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who is competing with Paul in Iowa for the outsider vote, has been vocally critical of Paul's stance.

So has Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican who has been courted by most of the GOP candidates.

“I gave Paul credit for having the most ambitious plan to reduce the debt, which he does,” Branstad told the Associated Press. “but I don't agree with him on foreign policy, at all. I'm real concerned with his views on that.”

Paul's rivals have particularly criticized his view that Iran does not pose a serious threat to the US, a point Paul made again Friday.

“Think about how the war drums were beating to get into Iraq. none of it was true, and I don't believe the stories now about why we should be shaking in our boots over Iran,” he said. “they are absolutely incapable of attacking us.”

Paul was traveling from small-town Vinton to equally small Anamosa Friday, before capping the day with a major rally in metropolitan Cedar Rapids, where he was to be endorsed by the founder of the Cedar Rapids tea party.

His focus isn't limited to Iowa.

Paul will be in new Hampshire early next week, where he finished fifth four years ago.

This time, Paul's fiscally-conservative profile combined with his anti-interventionist foreign policy could help him do better.

With the storm behind us and power still being restored, I'm sure a lot of you can't get on your favorite console and play your favorite sport games; yet. What about your mobile phone?EA Sports has mobilized many of their popular titles and offers them for a reasonable price. they offer, Madden NFL 12, Fight Night Round 4, Madden NFL 10, EA Air Hockey, NBA Street and many more.there is plenty to choose from, but before you cough up the money you might want to know a little more about them.there is no denying that these versions are slimmer than the console versions. so, if you know that going in you can manage your expectations. That doesn't mean that these games can't be fun.

One of them that I tried is Madden NFL 12 and it's decent. The graphics made it feel like I was playing on the Sega Genesis again, which isn't a bad thing and there is a lot stuffed into it. you get 32 teams, a decent sized playbook, an exhibition and season mode and commentary from Cris Collinsworth, Gus Johnson and John Madden.Madden NFL 12 mobile will set you back $8 and it's definitely a game you will want on your phone.another game I tried was EA Pool, because how can you go wrong with billiards; especially one that is priced at $1.99.this game offers 8 ball and 9 ball game types and multiplayer. yet, once I started playing this game I soon realized why it was priced so low; it's horrible. there are no redeeming qualities here. The controls are weird, the way you look at the pool table is awkward and it's just not a fun experience. You'll end up deleting this app off your phone after ten minutes of play time.The next one on the list is Fight Night Round 4. this is another one that I enjoyed.The game allows you to customize your own boxer, fight against boxing legends and it offers mini-games.Fight Night Round 4 will catch your eye early, it has 3D graphics that reminded me of classic Nintendo 64 and controls are pretty well. The game is marketed at $2.99 and it's worth the price.so if you have internet available on your phone, I strongly suggest trying Madden NFL 12 and Fight Night Round 4. they offer a fun experience and they might allow you to forget about having no power.If you're not into sport games and still want a game to help you pass the time I strongly recommend Words with Friends. this game has been around awhile and I found myself playing this all the time during the storm.The only problem with word with friends is those websites and other apps that help people cheat, and people do try to cheat. so, if someone starts using words that you never heard of and seem to be out of that persons vocabulary, you probably have a cheater on your hands. so, all of those, except EA Pool, are good ways to get your gaming fix and survive without any power.

EA's mobile sports games could be a fun alternative

In a truly bizarre Europe-wide canvassing operation, a number of media organisations working in partnership with the Groupe Bernard Tapie have began contacting ex-Full Tilt players to ask how they would like their bankroll to be paid back. While this initially seems like fantastic news for anyone with funds locked up in the poker site, as with anything that seems too good to be true there is a catch; namely that anyone contacted by Groupe Bernard Tapie

DAVIS (CBS13) — a young dog born with an unusual deformity is being cared for by the Yolo County SPCA but will soon need a good home.

Joey, a six-and-a-half-week old Chihuahua, was born without her front legs, but a veterinarian refused to euthanize the dog when the breeder brought her in.

“The vet decided no,” said Yolo SPCA spokesperson Megan Galloway. “She doesn't know there is anything wrong and she's a happy puppy, otherwise she was just born deformed.”

Joey has to push up onto her back legs to get around, but she can get where she needs to go, Galloway said.

“She loves to cuddle or just go in her bag and be carried around,” Megan said. “She will do anything for a bit of peanut butter.”

The Yolo SPCA has Joey in foster care and is hoping to raise enough money to get her a custom-fit wheel chair to get around, something that could cost about $700.

“There are other dogs like her, so I don't think it's uncommon, but it's definitely a Chihuahua problem. it probably has to do with inbreeding and just bad breeding,” Megan said.

Joey is the featured angel fund pet for the Yolo SPCA, which means money donated will go to her medical expenses.
