It is with great pleasure I bring you one of my most ambitious projects, Photography in Medicine. The idea was born of some random discussions my advisor and I had over the summer and after incessantly annoying, emailing and calling a lot of people, it has finally come to fruition. You can read more about it at www.photographyinmedicine.org. Chris Evert Children’s Hospital has graciously allowed full access to their general pediatric, pediatric oncology and pediatric ICU wards where we will give the admitted children cameras and go around with them taking pictures of whatever they find interesting. The hospital plans on displaying the images in their main lobby in March and my university will have a community showing of the images as well. We hope to see how the world looks from their perspective as it is something that unfortunately often gets missed. For anyone even remotely familiar with HIPAA laws, I hope the near impossibility of getting this kind of access is apparent. The hospital really went to bat on my behalf and I am extremely thankful for it. I have been working with local organizations to get the word out about this rather ambitious project and our first promotional spot will be on The HITS 97.3 DJ Laz Morning Show this Sunday, Nov 9th, between 6 and 7am so please listen in if you can! For any non Florida members, you can stream it at Listen Live. We have a ways to go towards providing all the children with cameras so we are looking for donations and help with spreading the word about this endeavor. Even if you can’t donate, we would love for you to share the project website, www.photographyinmedicine.org, on your social media pages so that we might be able to gain exposure, donations and perhaps even get more families who wish to participate. I want the whole project to be entirely free for the families so there are a lot of things we need help with. Please take a look at the website and feel free to share it with your friends and family. Any donations are greatly appreciated and welcome. Cheers.

Returned iPhone to Best Buy. Got another one from Apple. New new phone charges in 3 hours. Great success. My hometown is very close to the Nepalese border. My mom and sister were just there and were surprised at the saturation of iPhones in the area - in the most remote parts. While it is an object of desire, I don't think it is any more coveted than anywhere I have been in the US. That being said, if your phone is lost, at least there are things you can do to try to recover it. The police may or may not take your case seriously. In India/Nepal, especially for a foreign national, the chances are slim to none. From what my family members have mentioned, the speeds available there making using the iPhone an exercise in frustration. Sure you can use it but 3G/4G/LTE speeds are not available or the bandwidth is very low. Depending on where she goes to in Nepal or Jordan, she might barely have cell tower reception, let along service for the internet over a mobile device. However, since they made a case for not bringing an iPhone but an android device being fine, it seems she won't stray too far from densely populated areas. The whole practice of putting ones phone in the back pocket is asking for trouble regardless of which phone it is. My cousins use theirs freely but they are also slightly more aware of the dangers of losing their phone/it getting stolen (no more cell phone). It is still a luxury item in that part of the world and the Apple brand name means a lot more than perhaps Samsung (or any other Android phone) does, thereby carrying a lesser resale value on the black market. Pick pockets won't risk getting caught lifting a phone they can't profit as much from. What exactly is she planning on using her phone for? Just making calls? Internet access? Facebook? It might be less expensive overall to just get a local phone and add money to it as and when she needs it. Might be slightly more cumbersome but she has her iPhone in case of an emergency and the other dumb phone locally sourced for local calls. I am heading back there this summer on a medical mission trip and will be in some rural parts of Nepal and India for a few weeks assuming everything goes well with my research advisor. Don't plan on taking my iPhone with me. Will just get a phone there - waaaaay cheaper than paying for international access from the US. I can't speak to how things are in Jordan/Chile but if she needs to be more careful of her belongings whilst in public transit in Nepal than out and about. Theft can occur anywhere but with foreigners, trains/buses/rickshaws seem to be a lot more common because they are really an assault on the senses. So while she might think her phone is safe in her bag and was never in anyone's view, the bag itself could get swiped. On trains in the region, they have iron chains that you can lock your luggage to as it is unfortunately a common occurrence. I hope this doesn't reduce your or her enthusiasm for the upcoming trip but I do think her being aware of all the shitty things that could happen would keep her a tad more aware of her surroundings and hopefully keep the trip free of any mishaps. PS. Tight jeans are usually a bad idea - the silhouette of the phone is visible even if the phone is entirely out of view. Makes for an easy target.

1 year standard Apple warranty.

Just left the apple store. They ran some tests and determined the battery is faulty. Offered to replace it for free with a refurbished phone. Had I purchased Applecare they would have replaced it with a new phone. I don't see how Applecare matters if the phone is less than a year (less than a week actually) old. Going to return it to Best Buy and then wait for somewhere to have the phone in stock again.

Lol no more casino access. I guess I finally got to Dan. Hope you enjoyed playing with your little admin powers big man. Really hope you feel better and are happy now. /not sarcastic at all. Brent, going to give the phone another couple of charge cycles. If after a few days it is still acting the same I'll ask for a replacement. 3 hours I can deal with but the whole night is too much regardless of the charger being used.

Straight from the wall with the supplied charger and cable.

Thanks everyone. Don't have an iPad anymore. Left the phone charging overnight and it is still only at 94%. So likely a bad battery. Hopefully the stores will have a replacement.

The results on google vary largely between 30 minutes and 3 hours, the former being obviously wrong. That gives me n=1. I asked what kind of charge times people on here were getting but so far I haven't received a response to that question in particular. i looked on Google and didn't get a number that was repeated on enough/any websites to be considered trustworthy. At least, the numbers posted by members here would carry more weight with me. That being said, you can quit being a cunt yourself.

Thanks for providing information I already mentioned in my post. As usual, an entirely useless post, Dan. Thank you for your input.

Those with 6 pluses - how long does it take for your phone to be charged from <10% to 100%? I've been charging mine for 2 hours and its gone from 3% to 43%. On the apple website, there is no mention of how long it should take for a full charge. All the articles online seem to keep mentioning using an iPad charger to charge the phone faster but that isn't an answer.

Used a Swype keyboard for the first time. Purchased Swype keyboard immediately. This thing is awesome.

The fan on the hyper 212 is really starting to piss me off.

3 emotions.

And a weaker graphics card which doesn't help with PS. Also, benchmark of the 2012 mac mini isn't that much better than the 2013 macbook air, double the CPU power and all. Source - http://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks

Supported and the thing running smoothly on a 27" monitor are two different things. Windows 8 runs on some really old hardware does not mean it is desirable. I was using my macbook air to feed the 27" monitor with LR/PS which was running the Intel HD 5000. Every single slider movement took ~1 second hence the move to a Hackintosh.

Damn that would make the perfect machine for photo editing were it not for the graphics card.

Unfortunately, no tinkering and works out the box = iMac/Mac Pro. :<

My hackintosh is running great. Installed Yosemite using Clover yesterday. Everything except iMessages works splendidly. I can send and receive SMS but not iMessages. Far more stable than Mavericks which had frequent crashes. No crashes so far. You should investigate the avenue Shelly. For $1600 you are well on your way towards a kickass rig. The initial headache is there in trying to get everything set up but once it is there, it is rock solid. Depends on whether the headache is worth saving the extra $500-$1000.

Went to the apple store. They somehow determined the ssd was beyond repair - the encryption with file vault failed due to a hardware issue. Gave me a new macbook air to replace the current one purchased in August. I love Apple again.

Wonder if Brent is chewing his face off after reading that sentence. He don't like no bad grammer.

So apparently the thing crashed while trying to encrypt the drive using FileVault. Now parts of the drive are encrypted and others aren't which is preventing the drive from mounting which is preventing it from booting so the only way to fix this is to do a clean install. Blows that I didn't have the files backed up since Monday but whatever.

I didn't do shit other than a vanilla upgrade install over Mavericks.

After a reinstall.

I could. Just don't enjoy having to download/install all the software again. Especially the ones that have limited installs. Normally I do clean installs but got an email a few months ago saying I just had 1 more left of microsoft office for mac.

The macbook air is the test rig. I just use it on the go for watching lectures/browsing/email. All the major work is done in the Hackintosh so I am ok. Still a pain in the neck though to get this sorted out. I wanted to be a devops engineer the first 3 weeks of undergrad a very long time ago. Hated doing the other three kids' work for the group assignments though. EDIT - If the MBA fucks up, I can walk into the apple store with it and ask them to fix it Can't exactly do that with the Hackintosh.
