| + | == The 'C' in iPhone 5C doesn't stand for cheap == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The high-end, biosensor-equipped may be the most "forward-thinking phone anyone has ever made," as Apple head of marketing Phil Schiller described it yesterday. But it's the plastic iPhone 5C that may actually end up being more critical to Apple's future. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The "C" has already been widely appropriated as a stand-in for a number of things: ",[http://ppl.zaloni.net/lab-notes/did-president-obama-convince-you-twitter-reacts-syria-speech Did President Obama convince you- Twitter reacts t]," "," "," and even "," where the company is struggling to carve out market share. What the "C" doesn't stand for, however, is "cheap." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Some analysts expected the unsubsidized iPhone 5C to debut , which would make it significantly more affordable in markets outside of the United States where carriers don't subsidize the retail cost. Although some carriers like T-Mobile offer consumers unsubsidized phones (which have higher upfront cost but carry lower monthly burdens), for the most part, the iPhone 5C will run you $99 for the 16GB version on a two-year contract. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The New York Times that a sub-$400, or even sub-$500 iPhone isn't in the cards. In China, the iPhone 5C will start at 4,488 renminbi, or roughly $733, which is a 33 percent markup from the unsubsidized $549 cost here in the United States. "If you look at the price, it's clearly a high-end phone, not a low- or even midrange phone," Jenny Lai, an analyst at HSBC in Taipei, . | ||
| + | |||
| + | So what gives? Typically, the previous year's iPhone model in this case, that would have been the iPhone 5 slides down to occupy the mid-priced slot ($99 on a two-year contract) in Apple's three-phone lineup, while the previous model before that sells for $0 on a two-year contract (in this case, the iPhone 4S). | ||
| + | |||
| + | This year is different, though. Aside from a few tiny spec improvements and the polycarbonate backing (which comes in six colors), the iPhone 5C is essentially the same phone as the iPhone 5, which it is replacing in the middle slot. | ||
| + | |||
| + | it's purely a marketing gamble to help differentiate the iPhone 5 from the new iPhone 5s. "Yes, it's plastic,[http://bbs.htdhouse.com/showtopic-468443.aspx LePage says three out], but there's nothing cheap about it,[http://tianfubbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=204222&fromuid=15622 Apple's new iPhone 5c struggles to satisfy in China, but bright spots remain]," . "This move is about establishing the iPhone as a two-sibling family, like how the MacBooks have both the Airs and the Pros. Think of the 5C as the Air, and the 5s as the Pro. Or iMac and Mac Pro. The iPhone is growing up as a product family." | ||
| + | |||
| + | "It eliminates the confusion that would have been caused by the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5 looking nearly identical to one another (subtle gold, notwithstanding). It seems like a win-win-win for Apple," . "But it's not going to be viewed as a 'win' by tech pundits and Wall Street." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Splitting the iPhone lineup into two clearly demarcated iPhones isn't entirely unprecedented. "Historically, Apple has done quite well for itself using mid-tier products with lots of aspirational appeal to draw budget-conscious consumers into a higher price range," . "It did it with the iPod nano, and again with the iPad mini." | ||
| + | |||
| + | In China, where Apple products have always been more expensive compared to the United States due to the country's value-added taxes, which hover at 17 percent, some analysts think the iPhone 5C's steep price markup could potentially give Apple more pricing maneuverability in the future. "It looks like they are trying to test the market,[http://www.deflowjo.net/node/17?page=90#comment-4522 Blazers F Nicolas Batum, France Enter EuroBasket's Second Round]," Bryan Wang, an analyst at Forrester Research,[http://www.baobao007.cn/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=2062 ], . Essentially, Apple is asking: "How much are Chinese consumers willing to pay for the phone?"</html> | ||

| + | == Yes, Russia might oppose its own Syria plan. Here’s wh == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov discusses Syria in Moscow. (YURI KADOBNOV/AFP/Getty Images | ||
| + | |||
| + | It seemed like the mother of all Russian diplomatic pranks: just one day after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov proposed that Syria give up its chemical weapons to international control in exchange for the U.S. calling off strikes, an idea that was embraced in Washington as well as Damascus, Russian diplomats reportedly signaled that they might oppose that very same plan at the United Nations. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Alerts from and , citing the French foreign minister,[http://www.postup.lg.ua/sept-11-remembrances-still-take-many-forms Sept. 11 remembrances still take many forms], said that Russia was uncomfortable with the idea of a binding United Nations Security Council resolution to enforce their own plan. Reuters that Russia would only support a non-binding presidential statement, which is a step up from a press release. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Why on earth would Russia work to undermine its own plan just 24 hours after first proposing it? There are three ways to think about this: the optimistic view, the pessimistic view and the middle-ground. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Many observers are likely to take the pessimistic view: that Russia never seriously planned on following through with its proposal to scoop up Syria s chemical weapons. This has all been a shell game from the start, a ploy to delay U.S. strikes and box in President Obama while Syria continues acting with impunity. This is just the start of a Russian strategy of dangling deals in front of the U.S. and then yanking them away. Russia knows that many members of Congress will pressure Obama to pursue the proposal, even if Obama believes it s just a bluff. That could spark even more disagreement within the U.S. and delay strikes further, maybe indefinitely. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The optimistic view is that this is just a negotiating tactic, a wholly foreseeable play by Russian diplomats who really do want to see their plan go through but also want to make sure they have a hand in crafting it. By feinting away from support, Russia can force the three Western members of the UN Security Council (France, the U.S. and Britain) to give Moscow some concessions on the plan. That debate will likely turn on whether the plan would be authorized under ,[http://forum.hurricanes-dbc.com/ Curiyo Is a Valuable Tool for Web Browsing], which and which could permit for the use of force against Syria if it doesn t comply. Think Progress blogger and United Nations procedure nerd Hayes Brown has some smart thoughts on how this would work, posted below ( P3 means the U.S., France and Britain): | ||
| + | |||
| + | My guess: most of the Russian opposition is around the use of Chap 7 to make it binding, under idea that opens the door to use of force. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | So the smart thing to do is the tailor the resolution to bar that approval, under threat that US will continue to move without UNSCR. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Other issues including placing blame for Aug. 21 can also be negotiated down. But no Chap. VII citation should be deal-breaker for P3. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | My theory: if by Friday,[http://www.cosmobilities.net/ De Blasio Leads Democrats, May End Up in Runoff to Face GOP Winner Joe Lhota for NYC Mayor], the amendments that the P3 agree to with Russia aren t enough, they ll force a Russian veto. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hayes Brown (@HayesBrown) | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | And now the middle-ground take: Russia s primary goal is to stave off U.S. strikes. If it can do that with a little bit of delaying and bluffing at the United Nations, then in Moscow s view that s great. If it has to let through some kind of UN Security Council authorization to seize Syria s chemical weapons, it will accept that too. In this reading, Russia s goal is to make any UN action against Syria s chemical weapons as minimal as possible. If true, this is actually good for the U.S., because it gives President Obama lots of leverage with Moscow as long as he can credibly threaten U.S. strikes. This would suggest that Obama might be able to get something halfway decent through the Security Council,[http://www.wem.cc/viewthread.php?tid=350299&extra=page%3D1&frombbs=1 Landry’s Seafood on Westheimer loses lease, will close Sunday], maybe even a binding resolution,[http://killmorezombies.com/zaforums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=87230 Mesut Ozil tweets he can't wait for Arsenal], but only as long as he can maintain a credible threat of striking Syria.</html> | ||

| + | == Was Ayla Reynolds beaten to death- == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>While Ayla s dad is in jail on unrelated charges, her mother has followed through with her promise to release more details that she believes should lead to an official arrest. It s hard to believe that Justin and/or the other adults in his home haven t been charged with anything yet --, and publicly, accused them all of lying about what happened to the missing tot. The evidence against Justin DiPietro is staggering, and paints a heartbreaking picture of what might have happened to little Ayla before she was reported missing. | ||
| + | It s already known that forensic investigators found Ayla s blood in her father s basement. This information was revealed over a year ago -- and it was reportedly more than a cup of blood. Trista Reynolds revealed today that a copious amount of blood was located that belonged to her missing daughter -- on the basement floor, on Justin s shoes, and in his truck. Trista says that investigators showed her photos of where the blood was located. | ||
| + | The most disturbing evidence is that some of the blood had saliva mixed in it, which indicates to Trista that her daughter suffered before she died. It indicates to me that the girl was bleeding out of her mouth -- either from a wound in her mouth or internal bleeding that she was coughing up while dying. Seeing as though there was blood in the basement,[http://csislebanon.org/node/1138706 Extra Time- Headbutts and goal_0], on Justin s shoes and in his truck in large amounts, I am going to allege that this child was suffering from a punctured lung. However,[http://www.finadri.com.au/node/796166 9-11 anniversary marked with somber tributes], it needs to be asserted that a cause of death can t be pinpointed by blood evidence alone. | ||
| + | Like Trista,[http://maschbau-forum.de/kaws1112/index.php?topic=634024.msg801697#msg801697 Reyes, Orcollo, Corteza among 13 Pinoys in hunt at World 9 Ball_1], numerous people believe Justin DiPietro should be arrested regarding the murder of his daughter, even though a body hasn t been located. Trista said the following: | ||
| + | When you have a truck that has blood in it when you have things of Ayla s when you have a whole basement with all different things with blood you tell me you don t have enough to prosecute? I don t want to hear it anymore and I don t believe it. | ||
| + | She s absolutely right. It s been well documented by now that Justin,[http://owlpost.ru/node/add/blog 25 accused in Missouri meth roundup involving moto], his mother and his former girlfriend (who he is in jail over assaulting) have not been truthful about what happened to Ayla. So are officials in Maine really waiting for the discovery of remains before anything is done? If that s the case, justice may never be served. Maine is extremely rural with numerous ways to dispose of a little child in the wild so that nobody will ever find her. And it certainly looks like Justin has gone to great lengths to do just that. | ||
| + | Was Ayla Reynolds beaten to death? | ||
| + | Throughout the course of this case the element of child abuse has been present. From Ayla s mysteriously broken arm and missed doctor s appointments,[http://forum.hurricanes-dbc.com/ Curiyo Is a Valuable Tool for Web Browsing], to Trista s claims of the girl having bruising on her inner thighs after visitations with Justin -- it s more than apparent that abuse was likely taking place. | ||
| + | and now she s as adamant as ever about wanting him arrested and charged with at least child endangerment. Knowing that there was so much blood -- and where it was found, makes it easy to stand behind the mother of this likely slain child. | ||
| + | When blood is mixed with saliva, and in large amounts, (among many other diagnoses that wouldn t produce the amount of blood that was found in Ayla s case). These kinds of injuries occur when a body experiences massive trauma -- either through beating, falling from high places or (most disturbingly) from sexual assault in very small children. So there s likely little doubt that Ayla did in fact suffer in her father s basement -- but by what cause, and by whose hands? | ||
