Look at him! He's just so happy to be there!

Being an amazing person once again, Johnny Depp decided to spend time with his fellow members of the Comanche Indian tribe during the Comanche Nation Fair on Saturday.

As an honorary member, Johnny waved and smiled at the Oklahoma residents who lined the streets to watch the parade.

But here's the really cool part ? his appearance wasn't publicized? at all.

It was all a HUGE surprise!! Ahhh!! Those lucky, lucky Oklahoma people!!

As we've discussed before, Johnny became an honorary member back in the Spring for his work with Lone Ranger.

With all the time he spends on that film, it's amazing he can actually donate what's leftover to things like this!!

NEW YORK (The Blaze/AP) ? Former New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger has died at age 86.

The newspaper reported that his family said Sulzberger died Saturday at his home in Southampton, N.Y., after a long illness. He had retired in 1992 after three decades at the paper?s helm and was succeeded by his son, Arthur Jr.

Sulzberger?s family has controlled the newspaper since his grandfather Arthur Ochs acquired it in 1896.

The company has struggled in recent years but during Sulzberger?s tenure it reached new levels of influence and profit.

The newspaper won 31 Pulitzer prizes, published the Pentagon Papers and won a libel case victory in New York Times vs. Sullivan that established important First Amendment protections for the press.

In a note to New York Times employees obtained by the Poynter Institute, Arthur Sulzberger Jr. said ?Punch,? as his father was known, ?always believed that by closely adhering to our Company?s most fundamental precepts we would greatly enhance our ability to produce outstanding journalism.?

?Punch will be sorely missed by his family and his many friends, but we can take some comfort in the fact that his legacy and his abiding belief in the value of quality news and information will always be with us,? Sulzberger wrote.

iPhone 5 nitpicks: Album art not centered on Lock screen

iPhone 5 nitpicks: Album art not centered on Lock screen

Album art has never been perfectly centered on the iPhone or iPod touch Lock screens. It's been placed immediately on top of the slide-to-unlock bar. Because of the 3:2 aspect ratio of previous iPhone and iPod touch devices, however, and because the top of the album art and the reflection beneath it peak through the translucent time and slide-to-unlock bars, the visual weighting was close enough to appear centered and thus, balanced. Not so with the iPhone 5 and its 16:9 aspect ratio. Now the bottom alignment of album art lookes decidedly bottom heavy. Worse, there's a big black gap between the top of the album art and the bottom of the time bar.

The advantage of bottom aligning album artwork on the 16:9 display is that none of it is obscured by the name of the song, and even when you double-click the Home button to bring up the music controls, very little is obscured. The disadvantage is, in design parlance, "Oh god, my eyes, my eyes..."

So how to fix it? Placing the album art dead center wouldn't work either. There'd still be an empty black space between the top of the art and the bottom of the time bar. Butting the album art up immediately beneath the time bar, however, and filling the resulting empty space on the bottom with the traditional translucent reflection. The weighting would then be close enough to once again appear visually centered. When the Home button double-click brings up the controls, more of the top of the album art would be obscured again, but with a small tweak it wouldn't be terrible, and still better than it currently is on 3:2 devices.

Here are samples of how album art currently looks on the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 (left and center), along with a mockup of how it would look if fixed as described above. Beneath that is what the hero pic above would look like with the fixed album art.

I hope Apple considers fixing this in iOS 6.something (and yes, I'll file a radar!)

Because, damn.
