None of the Nokia phones I owned before I got my first iPhone had a ring/silent switch. If you wanted to silence them, you had to go into a menu and tell the phone to be silent. The switch seemed like an obvious improvement: with it, you could silence your phone without even taking it out of your pocket. But an actual old-school switch that is moved between two different positions also has a big fat downside: you can't really set the same function in software, because then the behavior of the phone no longer complies with the position of the switch.
And so it was with the iPhone for five years. Yet with iOS 6, Apple gave us a way to silence our iPhones through a menu, and program the function to activate and deactivate at designated times. As such, the irresistible force (software programmability) met the immovable object (switch position/behavior parity).
Apple simply sidesteps this by retaining the ring/silent switch functionality as-is, and adding "do not disturb" as a completely separate function. And yes, R/S and DND really do perform different functions. Look closely at the names to divine the difference. With the switch in the silent position, the phone won't generate any sound. (With some exceptions, see below.) And "do not disturb" makes sure the phone doesn't disturb you.
In "regular" silent mode, the screen is still fair game. When there's an incoming phone call, the screen lights up, and you can take or ignore the call as usual, except the people around you are spared from having to listen to your favorite ringtone. It's the same with other kinds of notifications: the screen comes on, and unless you changed the "vibrate on silent" setting to off, the phone also vibrates to catch your attention. If that happens a lot throughout the night, an iPhone on your nightstand could certainly interfere with a good night's sleep.
Things are very different with "do not disturb." If you get a call when DND is in effect, the call is sent straight to voicemail. The screen doesn't come on, the phone doesn't vibrate, there is no sound. Same thing with notifications. (Well, they don't go to voicemail.)
However, there is one tiny little exception to this undisturbed bliss: if the screen is unlocked, none of the above applies: calls come through and notifications notify, with all of the ringing and beeping and vibrating that this entails. In other words: the phone won't disturb you, because if the screen is unlocked, your attention is on the phone anyway. Your significant other sleeping next to you may still be disturbed by all of this, though.
So: does it make sense to have two separate features that kinda-sorta-but-not-really do the same thing?
Yes and no. There have been a few times when my iPhone woke me up in the middle of the night, and with DND automatically enabled around bed time, such an event is less likely to happen in the future. (Creating a ringtone that is just 30 seconds of silence and assigning that to that guy who kept calling me throughout the night also helped.) But being able to silence my phone without even taking it out of my pocket using the ring/silent switch is fast and discreet, so I'd hate to give that up. And with the DND exemption when the screen is on, there are cases where you might want to use both of them at the same time.
Still, I expect that the somewhat subtle differences between the DND and R/S switch behaviors will be lost on most iPhone users. The likely result will be that people will still be disturbed more than they like, or unintentionally miss calls and notifications.
Since notifications sound and calls ring when DND is in effect (with the phone unlocked so the screen is turned on), it comes off as counterintuitive and will lead to unpleasant surprises. And it's likely that a lot of people have no need to differentiate between R/S and DND. Having an option to make DND activate when the R/S switch is switched to silent would be nice.
Although having DND activate automatically at a scheduled time is a great feature, having it deactivate at a scheduled time isn't always ideal—for instance, when sleeping in during the weekend. Why not have an option to automatically deactivate "do not disturb," when you first unlock your phone in the morning? (We'll call this "autodisturb" for short.)
Last but not least, Apple hasn't addressed the issue of alarms. Unbeknownst to some, alarms still go off when the R/S switch is set to silent, and also in DND mode. I think that's probably the best choice, but it's not ideal: on the one hand, it's disruptive and embarrassing when an alarm goes off when attending a performance. But on the other hand, you don't want to oversleep because you accidentally left the R/S switch set to silent, or left DND on so alarms remain silent.
It's just too easy to forget that the phone is silenced, because over normal usage, there's nothing conspicuous to remind you. Yes, I know it's easy enough to turn my iPhone on its side and look for the little orange stripe that indicates it's in silent mode. But what if I forget to do that, too?
Despite arguments that the current behavior is correct or that it isn't, there is no way to make the embarrassing-interruption-versus-oversleeping issue magically go away. But it would be huge step in the right direction if the lock screen showed when alarms, reminders, and calendar alerts are scheduled to go off if the iPhone is in silent or DND mode. With the ability to slide and immediately go to the place where that alarm, reminder, or alert can be disabled, of course.
(Bonus tip: if you ever have a call at an inopportune moment, you can silence the ringer—with the call continuing to "ring" silently—by pressing the sleep/wake button or one of the volume buttons. Press the sleep/wake button twice to send the call to voicemail.)
So please, Apple, wake up and fix this for us.

Charges dropped for day care worker convicted of murder
- Tata was indicted on four counts of murder
- She left oil on the stove%2C which caught fire while she was out shopping
- Tata fled to Nigeria after the fire
Prosecutors on Friday dismissed the last of the charges against a Houston day care provider who is already serving an 80-year prison sentence for the death of one of the children killed in a fire while she was out shopping.
A jury in November convicted Jessica Tata of murder in the death of 16-month-old Elias Castillo. She was indicted on nine charges, including four counts of murder, in the February 2011 fire in which four toddlers died and three others were injured. Hot oil Tata left on the stove caught fire while the children were alone when she was at a nearby Target store, authorities have said.
Any additional punishment the 24-year-old woman would face from further convictions would be served concurrently and not alter her sentence, Harris County Assistant District Attorney Steve Baldassano said. Tata is eligible for parole after 30 years, which also wouldn't change with any further convictions, he said.
A phone message left for defense attorney Mike DeGeurin at his Houston office was not immediately returned.
Baldassano said the jury considered testimony that pertained to all of the victims when it imposed its sentence.
"To give her that amount of time, they probably considered everything they heard, which included comments from all the families," he said.
Families of the children were notified of the decision to drop the remaining charges. She had also faced three counts of abandoning a child and two counts of reckless injury to a child.
"It didn't appear to me that they had any objections to it," Baldassano said.
Tata has appealed her conviction and should she win, prosecutors would re-try her for murder, he said. There's no statute of limitations on murder in Texas.
State District Judge Marc Brown approved the dismissal of the remaining charges. As a result, Tata will be transferred from the Harris County jail to state prison.
Tata operated the day care out of her home. During her trial, prosecutors painted a portrait of a young woman who had long wanted to run her own day care but who was soon in over her head, caring for too many kids and taking chances by leaving them alone to run errands.
The three other children who died in the fire were 3-year-old Shomari Leon Dickerson, 20-month-old Kendyll Stradford and 19-month-old Elizabeth Kajoh.
Tata fled to Nigeria after the fire but was captured after about a month, returned to the U.S. in March 2011 and has remained jailed since. She was born in the U.S. but has Nigerian citizenship.

Budget-saving ideas for Hillsdale-area businesses
HILLSDALE — Although President Obama's 2013 budget supports more than $16 billion in small business loan guarantees and tax cuts, one of the biggest problems small businesses are currently facing is weak sales, says the National Federation of Independent Businesses. So, with a new budget year right around the corner, many businesses, including those in the Hillsdale area, are combating lackluster sales by reducing operating expenses.
A simple way to improve the bottom line is to reduce office supply spending, says Cartridge World-Hillsdale. In fact, the company says businesses can cut office printing costs by 25 percent or more by making a few simple changes.
According to www.Reduce.org, the average office worker can use 10,000 sheets of paper every year.
"Considering there are more than 21,000 U.S. and Canadian firms with 500-plus employees, that's a huge volume of printing," said Steven Rumler, owner of Cartridge World-Hillsdale. "There are three ways businesses can immediately reduce their printing costs. Reduce the number of pages printed. Reduce printer ink and toner expenses. Use the right printer."
With 600 stores in the United States and Canada, Cartridge World is the largest specialty retailer of ink and toner printer cartridges for the home and office. Each Cartridge World store serves hundreds of business customers and can provide cost-saving solutions:
Reduce paper use
• Use duplex (two-sided) printing on all "draft" documents.
• Reduce margin areas on each page to print 10 percent more text.
Reduce ink/toner printer cartridge cost
• Purchase recycled/remanufactured printer cartridges instead of OEM to save 25 percent or more.
• Use high-capacity printer cartridges that provide cheaper per-page printing.
Use the right printer
• Low-cost printers may cost more in the long run. Confirm what kind of ink or toner cartridges they use first.
• Check your printing volume. You might save by upgrading or downsizing your equipment.
PC World magazine may say it best, "If you buy a cheap inkjet printer, you're going to pay a small fortune for the ink to run it (assuming that you use the ink that its manufacturer specially designed for it)."
If you buy a $100 inkjet printer and print 10,000 pages per year (40/day), you can use 23 standard ink cartridges per year. At a cost of $20 per cartridge, you'll pay $475 for black ink alone. In three years, you could pay 15 times the cost of the printer for ink. Plus, you could pay up to three times more if printing in full color.
Selecting the right printer to meet the demands for your office, and confirming the cost of replacement printer cartridges should determine what kind of printer to buy. When buying a color inkjet printer, opt for a printer with four separate color cartridges, not tricolor (three-colors-in-one) cartridges. With tricolor cartridges, as soon as one color is empty, you need to replace the entire cartridge.
"Office managers and executives don't always realize how much they can
save by changing printers and their ink and toner provider," explained Rumler. "If you're using the wrong printer, it pays to switch ASAP. Plus, if you buy remanufactured printer cartridges, you can easily save another 25 percent or more."
Cartridge World helps businesses of all sizes save money by selling remanufactured ink and toner printer cartridges. Rather than purchasing brand new cartridges every month, customers can simply recycle their empty cartridges at Cartridge World and buy remanufactured cartridges — saving hundreds on their office printing expenses. Cartridge World stores sell printer cartridges for all major brands of office printers — backed with a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee.
Businesses can save even more money by taking advantage of Cartridge World's free printer program — available at many stores. Business customers may qualify for a free loaner printer if they sign a 12-month service agreement to purchase printer cartridges exclusively from their local Cartridge World store. To participate in the free printer loaner program, call or visit your local Cartridge World store.
If you have questions about what printer is right for your office, what cartridges are best or how to start recycling printer cartridges, contact your local Cartridge World store.
To learn how much your business can save on office printing costs, use Cartridge World's online savings calculator.

Carleton Road in Hillsdale at (517) 437-2990 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Do You Know Your Shapes?
My friend, Jane, sent this to me with the caption, "This is why you don't buy school supplies at the dollar store." LOL!
Revised to add this note.....
I got an email about this family who recently lost several members in a car wreck involving a drunk driver. People have gotten together and placed several auctions on eBay to help raise money for the family. Check them out when you get a minute.

Oh that's funny. What's funnier is that I had to really look that over to figure out what was wrong with it!
- January 18, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Sadly enough, I will admit that just after midnight, I was not quite on my 'game' and it took me a few to figure this out! Sad isnt it? Hey, I just shopped with three kids, and a husband that pouted through the whole ordeal, for what seemed like four hours, trying on clothes for myself and trying to fight the kids into realizing you cant just pick a size....you HAVE to try it on...
Thats my story, and I am sticking to it.

Great way to teach.... hopefully it was taken down.

Goodness I wonder how many they sold and no one realized it??

ROFLOL It took me a sec to see it! You should send that in to Jay Leno for his "Headlines" segment!
- January 18, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Too Funny! I had to take a double take at it - my brain does funny things sometimes - yes, it only has 6 sides - a hexagon!
Thanks for sharing this funny educational note!

That is too funny! I bought a book at Christmas time for my daughter at Walmart and the alphabet was in the wrong order. I didnt think that would really help her to learn.
- January 18, 2008 at 11:17 PM
The teacher in me is horrified! I'm hoping you all know that is a hexagon and not an octagon.

Ha! I'll bet there'll be several who don't see a thing wrong with that picture. After all, it is red, like a stop sign! That's close enough, isn't it?
- January 18, 2008 at 11:35 PM

That is hysterical! The sad part, though, is how many people would never even notice!

This is one of those times when we passed the laptop around and we all had a good laugh. Thanks!

Ummmmmmmmm HEXAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's hysterical!!!!
How do things like this get passed Quality Control?
- January 18, 2008 at 11:43 PM
- Unknown said...
Well it is red. A stop sign is red. A stop sign is also an octagon. So this red shape MUST be an octagon.
I think someone needed a better tutor growing up.

Oh my! Hexagon is quite different from an octagon.

I started counting sides the moment I read your post. What else could have been wrong? Your comments are ALMOST as good as your posts. I love your readers...of course, I am one of your readers so that totally makes sense.
- January 19, 2008 at 1:06 AM
It's worrying that it actually made it onto the shop floor with no-one noticing! Even my 10 year old spotted the mistake!
- January 19, 2008 at 1:44 AM

i STILL couldnt fathom out exactly what was wrong with it until i read the comments lol. oops!
- January 19, 2008 at 4:17 AM
- MaBunny said...
LOL!! The stuff I buy at the dollar store is like paper and pencils. I never saw that shape thing, but you gotta wonder sometimes.
There is a very popular nationwide chain drugstore not too far from my house that has an advertising sign out front
My husband caught the sign and said hey honey what are vitamines? lets go get some !! HAHA ( he was kidding of course)

Thank goodness for your comments - I caught that it was a 6-sided Octagon right away, but for the life of me could only come up with SEX-agon as the name for it. I was pretty sure they didn't teach me that one in school!

I am glad you added the little update. That was a most tragic event. I was actually not to far away on the intersecting freeway. As we were getting close we could hear all the truckers on the CB. It was horrible. This mother and her 4 beautiful babies gone from this world because someone got real stupid.
- January 19, 2008 at 9:53 AM
Years ago I bought my kids a poster for their room that had a happy bumblebee and the caption "bee happy."
It took awhile to realize the bee had eight legs.

My eight year old twins are laughing at this. Sad. :)
- January 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM
I agree--send it to Jay Leno! He does a 99cent store items segment. Maybe a dollar store item would qualify!

Hi Dawn,
My name is Fernando. I'm an advertising student and my next project is the dodge caravan. My concept is:
"There has to be something good about having kids".
The idea is to show (in a funny way) the reality about having kids. That -unlike diaper commercials- little flowers don't come out flying when you are changing your baby's diaper. What I'm trying to get across is that even going thru all the stuff you have to go thru when having kids, it is worth it because having kids gives you the excuse to own this van. I would love to send you the stuff that i have so far, and (if you have time), let me know how "true" it sounds. If you're interested, my email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you and keep writing.

I was very touched by your links of the tragic accident involving the family killed by a drunk driver. So sad.
- January 19, 2008 at 11:52 AM
To all the curious...I shop with half of what Dawn shops with, however half of 6 still equals distraction. I saw it, 'Oh shapes!', it was cheap, it was cute, it went in the cart. I did notice the mistake as soon as I got home. I'm not taking it back, that's what sharpies are for. :)
- January 19, 2008 at 1:02 PM
As a mother and a member of online communities I know you will take the time to read this terrible story and pray for baby Andy. I've been a member of Pregnancy Weekly since August 2005. Barb's son Andy and my son Alden were both born April 06. We actually met them in person at a weekend meetup in Chicago where 10 moms and 10 babies all flew to put some faces to names and past. Andy has always been a healthy little boy until recently. He is now in the PICU holding on to life and we still don't know why.
Here is the original post from Friday
and Andy's update on Saturday
Please ask your readers to pray for baby Andy and his family!!!

My fear is how many people will not realize it....so sad, but totally probable.
I have added you to my Magnificent Mamas blogroll today, and thank you for posting about the family.
- January 19, 2008 at 4:05 PM
LOL! That's great and I was with a lot of you--I turned to my husband and asked, "Hey, Love, what's a shape with six sides called?"
My favorite shape story... In our schools it's incorrect to call a diamond a diamond--it has to be called a rhombus. Once I heard a child singing "Twinkle, twinkle little star, like a rhombus in the sky."
- January 19, 2008 at 4:20 PM
Ok. I figured it out pretty quickly, but I waited to comment until my 17 year old son was around. I showed him and two of his friends the picture and my son noticed it right away! The other boys were oblivious. I'm so proud! LOL
- January 19, 2008 at 4:27 PM
- C-Rah said...
It just became clearly apparent to me JUST how tired I am today, because at first glance at that photo, I didn't get it. I read each shape name through three times, slowly, before I started counting the sides of the "octagon". Now THAT'S what I call brain dead!!!
- January 19, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Seeing that makes me want to go the the dollar store and see if they have it.
My husband went to high school with Danny Griffin. It is a very sad story. If I had the money, i would buy some of the stuff on ebay to help the family. My heart goes out to Beth & Angels. God Bless them!

Ugh, I'm really annoyed because I think blogger ate my clever comment about me being dumb that I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the school supply shape thingy.
You might not have received it.
But, on another note. I have to have lunch with you more often, WITH WINE, DESSERT AND BREAD... i lost 2.2 POUNDS THIS WEEK!!! yay!!!

Oh that is sad. The sad part is that most people wont even notice it, heck it took me a second to notice it too. I agree with the person that said send it to Jay Leno for his 'headlines' section. However, wonder how many laughs he'd really get from his audience, they aren't always the brightest bulb in the box.

The Situation of Judging – Part I
Posted by The Situationist Staff on July 25, 2007
On Monday, Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor spoke at the National Governors Association Conference (held in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan). She called on the state executives to help do something to protect and reinforce judicial independence. "Judicial independence does not happen all by itself," she said. "It's tremendously hard to create and easier than most people imagine to damage or destroy."
This is a cause that Justice O'Connor has championed for years — not just for U.S. courts but also for the courts of other nations. Independent Judges, she has argued, are going to disappoint and anger some people or some institutions almost all of the time. Some of those individuals or entities will be very powerful. Lest the judges wind up serving the powerful, judicial independence is necessary. As O'Connor once put it: "We have the power to make the president or Congress really, really angry. . . . In fact, if we do not make them mad some of the time, we probably aren't doing our jobs. Our effectiveness, therefore, relies on the knowledge that we won't be subject to retaliation for our acts."
At yesterday's conference, the former justice indicated that the solution was in education — in teaching American kids to respect the judiciary. She pointed out that, according to some surveys, more young people can name the three stooges than can name the three branches of the federal government.
No doubt, improving our education system is in order. Our own sense, however, is that the troubles are deeper than educational; they are situational (and we suspect that Justice O'Connor would agree).
In 2006, Situationist contributors Jon Hanson and Adam Benforado wrote an article, "The Drifters" for the Boston Review. In broadest terms, the essay's thesis was that the situation of judging matters. One point it made was that the methods by which judges take the bench, or maintain their position on it, influences what and how they judge:
For example, . . . . most judges on state courts—which handle the vast majority of America's judicial traffic—are elected, which leaves them more vulnerable to external influence than federal judges. As the legal historian Jed Shugerman has written, "Judicial elections clash with the basic—and perhaps naive—notion that judges are supposed to interpret the law and pursue justice, regardless of party or public opinion." Instead, they have "injected popular and partisan politics into legal deliberations" since "the slavery debates and the class struggles of the nineteenth century."
* * *
There is also recent evidence that state courts to which judges are elected rather than appointed have been powerfully transformed by campaign financing. A study by Texans for Public Justice, for example, found that the ten Texas Supreme Court justices elected or reelected between 1994 and 1998 raised over half of their $12.8 million in campaign money "from lawyers, law firms and litigants who filed appeals with the high court during this same period." The study also found that, although the Texas Supreme Court declines to hear nearly 90 percent of the cases for which appeal petitions are filed, "the more money that a petitioner contributed to the justices, the more likely they were to accept a given petition." For example, the court was ten times more likely to accept the petitions from petitioners who made campaign contributions of more than $250,000 than they were of those of non-contributing petitioners. Trends in decisions have also shifted over the same time period decidedly in favor of corporate defendants, and it seems likely that a major factor in that drift is the lack of the same independence-bolstering structures enjoyed by judges in the federal system.
If the states want to do something to enhance judicial independence, they might begin by revisiting the process by which their judges obtain their robes.

(NewsUSA) – You can't blame it on your parents anymore.
A new study by the Harvard School of Public Health makes clear that your genes "take a back seat" to behavioral and lifestyle factors when it comes to developing Type 2 diabetes, and that -; where men are concerned -; lifting weights for just 30 minutes a day, five times a week, can cut your risk by as much as 34 percent.
Make that as much as 59 percent when weights are combined with aerobic exercise.
Women, too, can benefit from a healthier lifestyle. Separate data suggest that 90 percent of Type 2 diabetes in females can be attributed to things like excess weight, smoking and alcohol use.
"Clearly, this is a preventable disease, and sadly about 6 million of the more than 24 million American diabetics don't even know they have it," says the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress' Gerard W. Clum, DC. Aside from treating any aches and pains from all that exercising, today's chiropractors counsel patients on ways to improve their health.

Interview: 'Man of Steel' star Henry Cavill
For "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill, the key to the success of director Zack Snyder's exciting new interpretation of the iconic character of Superman isn't so much about the film's spectacular special effects as it is creating a character grounded in reality. After all, any film has a hard time flying (so to speak) if the audience can't relate to the main character, no matter how much it dazzles its audience visually.
Of course, the big difference between Superman and his fans is that humans don't have superpowers (so far as we know), But one thing everyone shares, including the Man of Steel, is the feeling of confusion and isolation as they struggle to find their purpose in this world.
"The emotional aspect is one of the most important traits of the movie," Cavill told me in a recent interview. "We've grounded it very much in reality and although Superman himself is not subject to the frailties of the human flesh, he's very much subject to the frailties of the human mind."
Opening Friday in 2D and 3D theaters and on IMAX screens nationwide, "Man of Steel" tracks the origins of Superman, born Kal-El to Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer) on the distant planet of Krypton. With the planet crumbling beneath their feet and threat of anarchy by the menacing General Zod (Michael Shannon) and his band of militants, Kal-El is shipped off to Earth by his parents with the hopes that the child will someday grow to be an agent of good in his adoptive home.
Urged by his Earth parents, John and Martha Kent (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane), to hide his otherworldly gifts as a child, Clark Kent, as Kal-El is now known, is forced at age 33 to embrace his destiny as a superhero when Zod invades the planet looking for him. Clark, as it turns out, is the key to the general's plan to bring Krypton back to life, and the fate of the planet -- including the life of Clark's new friend, journalist Lois Lane (Amy Adams) -- hangs in the balance because it.
Told in a gritty, real-world narrative that relies heavily on flashbacks instead of the linear sort of storytelling we're used to seeing with the character, '"Man of Steel" is no doubt the most daring and unique film about Superman yet.
And while "Man of Steel" stays true to the Superman canon, Cavill is thrilled that Snyder and writers Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer were willing to take risks in bringing the new story to the fore.
"One of the wonderful things about this film is that it breaks new ground and tells a new story in a way that isn't safe, because that makes it even more interesting," Cavill observed. "It's a genuine pleasure to be working with these guys."
Another person Cavill worked with, albeit indirectly, was Hans Zimmer, Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy composer, who took the daunting responsibility of creating the score for "Man of Steel."
Zimmer, in a recent interview, told me the score came together like clockwork because of several elements, including the strengths of the actors' portrayals. Scoring to Cavill came naturally because of the actor's complete embodiment of his character.
"I don't think we've could have done this movie without Henry," Zimmer confessed. "He to me is so perfect. I can't possibly imagine anybody else playing Superman. It made it easier scoring to him. All of the characters made me feel that way. The movie is so incredibly well-cast."
See the trailer for "Man of Steel" below.
Suiting up
One of the new directions the filmmakers took in "Man of Steel" was with a new design of Superman's suit, which viewers will discover was influenced by Kal-El's Krypton origins. But no matter the differences between the old Superman suits and the new one, it still very much is Superman -- and Cavill said was thrilled beyond belief to step onto the set in his costume for the very first time.
"There was something very special, that very first time -- it was just an honor to be there, representing Superman," Cavill, 30, enthused. "Everyone was there and 100 percent into the job, and it was an honor to be chosen to do this very important duty."
Without question, the most important part of Cavill's duty was the research he put into the role. Ultimately, the British actor decided, it was in his best interest to avoid all film versions of the Superman tale -- including the classic portrayal by Christopher Reeve -- and only rely on the comic books for his research.
"I didn't want to watch the other movies or any live action stuff because I felt it would influence my interpretation of the character," Cavill said. "I wanted my interpretation to be purely from the source material, which are the comic books."
Cavill did eventually see one Superman movie -- his own -- and admitted that watching "Man of Steel" was in some ways like an out-of-body experience. Gone was Cavill the man who was on the set every day filming the superhero tale, and in the seat was Cavill the average, unassuming moviegoer.
"I was 100 percent swept up watching the movie," Cavill said. "Yes, I was privy to the movie magic and yes, I had that personal experience because I was there, but I was getting emotional throughout the movie. I wanted to stand up and cheer, support different characters and ask all the different questions the movie makes you ask. It was a great experience. I was speechless after seeing it. I've watched it two more times since and felt the same after each time, and I can't wait to watch it again."
Until then, Cavill will get to relive his memories of being the Man of Steel through several different means, including the ever-important action figures that come along with superhero film releases. The figures made him giddy when he received them, and he can't wait to share them with his family.
"It's absolutely fantastic. I'm sitting in my hotel room, looking at this 31-inch tall action figure of the character, and it's very, very surreal looking at it," Cavill beamed. "Having action figures is going to make getting Christmas and birthday presents for my nephews very easy from now on."

Anyone with eyes can see that the Apple iPad is dominating the tablet market today. This is in large part due to the fact that as of now there are still very few competitors on the market. That lack of competition is changing quickly though with tablets running Windows and Android due on the market soon.
Research firm Strategy Analytics reports that for the quarter spanning July through September the Apple iPad dominated the market with 95% of the tablet market. The market for tablets over the quarter swelled to 4.4 million units. The previous quarter was good for 3.5 million tablets according to the research firm.
Analyst Neil Mawston said, "The tablet wars are up and running. Apple has quickly leveraged its famous brand, an extensive retail presence and user-friendly design to develop the tablet segment into a multi-billion-dollar global business."
There are other tablets coming to the market that will run Android, Windows, MeeGo, webOS and the Blackberry OS making for many more choices over the coming months. Android is expected to be very popular on tablets and its scant 2.3% market share is expected to rise significantly in Q4.
While Apple is dominating the tablet market, other major brands are also looking to get into the tablet market. The world's number two shipper of computers – Dell – will be getting into the tablet market in a big way in 2011. This comes from the mouth of Dell CEO Michael Dell.
Dell said at an event in Hong Kong, "We're going to have a significant number of new tablets in the next year. There're lots of debate about the size of the market, who's buying these devices, and those questions always emerge when there's a new form factor."
Dell also noted it's easier to develop software for phones based on the Windows Phone 7 operating system than Android. There was no further explanation provided for the comment, so we'd be curious to hear the reasoning behind this statement.
