| Posted: 09 Oct 2010 04:00 PM PDT Anyone who has been blogging for a while will undoubtedly receive a sharply critical comment once in awhile. The comment may be pointed directly at the blogger, at the blog post, or even at other readers. Yet, it does not really matter who the comment was intended for; in any case, bloggers will find themselves in the uncomfortable situation of having to decide what to do with the comment. In this article, we will discuss some of the best ways to handle the occasional nasty comment that may arise on your blog so that your blog will remain a relaxed and friendly environment, yet still open to dissenting viewpoints. The Internet can be fast and unforgiving. Many people feel less inhibited online and therefore may not think twice about leaving unsavory comments on a blog. The best thing to do when you receive one of these critical comments is to examine the nature of the comment. If the comment is respectful and simply addresses an opinion that clashes with yours, it would probably be in your best interest to leave it up for the sake of free discussion on your blog. After all, that comment could start a fascinating debate on your blog, which in turn will allow your readers (and you!) to learn something new and even persuade others to share your opinion. However, be sure to avoid personal attacks and focus solely on the subject at hand. Chances are, if you are respectful to the commenter, then he or she will be respectful towards you even if you share different views. You could also leave a response inviting the commenter to contact you through e-mail to further discuss the criticism in order to show that you care about what your readers have to say. However, if upon examination the comment is offensive or offers no real value, such as those that seem to have been written solely to provoke others, remove that comment from your blog. You can do this by going into your blogging tool, such as Blogger or WordPress, or logging into your commenting system account, such as Disqus, to permanently delete the comment. A short note on your blog explaining that offensive comments will not be tolerated should inform others of what types of comments are acceptable and will also remind your readers that you are paying attention to the activities in the comments section of your blog. You should not engage offensive comments further because chances are they do not care what you have to say and only enjoy leaving nasty comments. Save yourself the trouble by simply removing the offending remarks and moving on. In the end, it is up to you to decide how to deal with negative comments on your blog. Keep in mind that your blog is your property, and as such, you have the ultimate say in what types of comments will be allowed. You should allow those who respectfully share different opinions to comment on your blog. However, just as you would not allow a guest who constantly makes offensive remarks to stay in your home, you should not allow those who constantly make offensive remarks to stay on your blog.

Apple’s team of engineers are always there planning to innovate something new, they work with dedication to design each gadget so that it delivers nothing but the best of service to the consumers. Apple holds numerous patents, over cutting edge tools and lots of them are there which have not been implemented as yet. Patently Apple happens to be a blog that is totally devoted in exclusively monitoring the whereabouts of Apple’s research and development, their new ideas and patents. Here is a collection of 15 such latest and futuristic tools that apple has thought of in the past couple of months.
So, what do you think? Ain’t this amazing? So, even after all the controversies that are there about Apple, the company sure proves the fact time and again that it isn’t for sure among the companies which one can take for granted. Something or the other is always their to pop out from Apple’s shelve. Steve Job’s may have admitted that Apple is not perfect but Apple sure tries to be.

| Apple Concerned About Probable Cracked iPhone Epidemic Posted: 08 Oct 2010 09:09 PM PDT Steve Jobs isn’t a happy man if his recent experiences are counted on. Is it fate or just a matter of co-incidence that most of his products are popping up with unavoidable flaws. Steve though has seamlessly dealt with all the problems so far but if this goes on and on, i think the sweet apple is gonna taste bitter in the days to come. Post the iPhone 4 free bumper program, the Antennagate issue is expected to have been dealt successfully, and it remains no more. But then reporter Ryan Block has revealed that the iPhone engineering team has digged up yet another major design flaw that could lead to possibly another iPhone 4 scandal. The iPhone 4′s glass back has been a matter of concern for many, but what the iPhone engineering team has unveiled post-Antennagate, is that the phones without bumper cases can mostly stand up in the line as probable victims to this issue. Cases that slide onto the iPhone 4 can cause severe scratching mostly un-intentional when particles come in between the case and the glass. Those scratches can eventually lead to serious cracks affecting the look of the phone in no time. So if there is a slider case with somebody on their phone, there’s the high chance that next time they pull the phone out of the case, the back is totally backed up, all credit goes to the wonderful design of the phone. Apple had already blocked all third-party cases resting at the Apple Store, even those certified “made for iPhone.” has been defamed lately. Also, the engineering team at Apple allegedly has built a lab and test program just to examine this problem. The manufacturers who designed and built slide-on cases are amidst great danger now, infact thay pay Apple a cut—rumor has it to be 10-15 percent. Well, for those who don’t know, Yes — this is what it takes to get the Made for iPhone stamp, what’s more? The company allows the cases to be sold in Apple Stores. As per the present situation it is really hard to tell whether or not these product will ever again be back to shelve at Apple Store. Apple’s take on the issue though is simply — No Comments. The matter now to be focused upon happens to be that these controversial slide-on cases are still there out in the open, sold elsewhere, and people some how are still buying them, meaning we could be seeing a lot of cracked iPhone 4s. So, what do you think made them design those bumper cases so specifically? Isn’t it also a matter of doubt. Apple’s intensive care cases targeted to resolute the Antennagate issue don’t actually touch the glass surface does they? Does that mean they were pretty aware of the up-coming danger?
