Which Battery would you pick?

My battery is shot for my Macbook pro. I need a new one, but dont know where to get it from. Would you get it from Apply at 169.00 or off of ebay for 79?
Does it matter where I get it from, are they all the same?
Thanks

Age of a battery matters. If some one has had a battery on the shelf for 1 years it's not going to perform as well as a new battery. Also 3rd party batteries can also have issues like generating too much heat, expanding, wrong voltage.
Batteries also have a limited number of cycles so never buy an open box, or used battery. Always ask how long they've had the battery. and where they got it.

Which Color Would You Pick??

I have a Pink Mini, I call her, Lauren. Yes! I name my iPods. Anyway, I am getting an iPod Nano 2nd Generation, which color would you get??? (Remember I am a girl!!!) But still, I am asking you what color would you get and If you have one, tell me how its running and would you recommend it to other people???? Thanks!!!

Personally, I'd just go with a color that you like since everyone has their own taste. I was going to buy a new iPod Nano but they don't come in the color I desire which is gold. If they came in gold, I might of scooped one right up. Anyways, I've seen all the new nanos in person and if I had to choose a very plain color that goes with anything silver but if I wanted to be more courageous and adventerous I would go with blue, pink, or green because they are much brighter and more vibrant.

Re: Which one would you pick?

I have been looking into purchasing a new laptop, and Im torn between the following two. Please let me know which you would pick and why. My uses will only be internet and word processing.

Keep in mind those are both configurable series of machines, so I can't specifically compare specs.
However, the Vostro line appear to be Dell's "small office/home office" business line - So positioned somewhere between the Inspirons (cheap consumer units) and Optiplex (desktop)/Latitude (laptop).
So I would expect the build quality of the Vostro to be better. It may also have better warranty and support options since it is positioned for small business customers. The Vostro looks like it will be more portable (thinner, smaller screen) but potentially harder to type on/view (the price of portability), but you'll probably get more features for the money with the Inspiron series. With the Vostro you'll be paying extra for build quality and miniaturization.

I'm debating between a Macbook Air or a Macbook Pro which one would you suggest?

I'm debating between a Macbook Air (MC965LL/A) or a Macbook Pro (MD313LL/A) which one would you suggest?
I will be using this for college and taking it to class with me. My biggest fear is that I may be too hard on the Air and damage it, but I like that it is lighter and looks cooler. But which one do you believe is more logical and provides the best computer quality overall?

This is an objective comparison,
Meanwhile, we start from the price of their basic models, considering of course that could get discounts as a student in the Education Store. Required about 100 € more to buy an Air with the same screen size of this Pro and already, in some cases, may be enough to make your own choice.
Assuming a score to score, we could say: Pro 1 - 0 Air
Until recently, the beloved laptop for school purposes was the white MacBook.Orphaned "bianchino", now out of the list for some time now Apple, the Mac that is most on the economic front is approaching the Air 11 "(900 € on the edu store). Air 13 "display offers a native that could be called HiRes, identical resolution to that of Pro 15" base:
Air 11 "(16:9) 1366 x 768 = 1,049,088 pixels
Pro 13 "(16:10 format) 1280 x 800 = 1,024,000 pixels
Air 13 "(16:10 format) 1440 x 900 = 1,296,000 pixels
The comparison on the screens is not to be taken seriously. After all, is what we will see during every second of computer work.
And so the challenge back in a tie: Pro 1 - Air 1
For size and weight comparison is merciless. The Pro is a portable slim, well built and, after all, not too heavy. However, this aspect of the Air is unsurpassed. He created a new category of laptops is so small wonder. The weight is also almost halved with 1.3 kg against 2Kg. For those who are always on the go is a godsend for the university and also the difference in the shoulder is remarkable.
We update our score: Pro 1 - Air 2
The battery is offered in both cases with a duration of 7 hours. 2-Air Pro 3. Another aspect that is rather in favor of a tie on the graphics: Both models use the Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM condivisa.Pro 3 - Air 4.
In academia, it may not feel quite the need for a Firewire port, but the fact remains that the Air does not have it.
I guess that's the case to score another point: Pro 4 - 5 Air
I scored a little more than necessary to have a complete line of Air, but for the purposes of this comparison we are interested in the value obtained from the Pro 13 'Air base and 13 "base. Both processors are dual core and, as you can see, the little guy gets along very well though with a slower clock. There is also a crucial aspect to consider: these data refer to the computing power but do not take into account the incredible speed-bump-up by SSD. Translated into monetary terms means that if the Pro 13 "is marginally faster when the CPU is under stress (such as video encoding) Air 13" is significantly more responsive in every area. By now you will present the advantages of SSD, as we talk about it constantly, and be assured that we are talking about really obvious differences in the everyday. The advantages obtained clearly outweigh the disadvantage resulting from a delay of a few seconds more in exporting an iMovie or a few seconds to compress a full-bodied zip file (which then increased the write speed scale in part). To assign a score in this area I find then a little 'in difficulty. From the viewpoint of the CPU Pro 13 "is slightly faster but we are sure you can assign an advantage when then every single operation, to start since, requires up to 8 times (the value is clearly approximate) of the time ' Air 11 "? I have no doubt to say that overall performance on the front of the Pro 13 "basis, as configured, is beaten hands down Air 13" base.
I say then: Pro 4 - Air 6 (but wait ... is not over)
Do you know where the above discussion decade? The MacBook Pro is much more expandable: add just € 77 and takes a 60GB OCZ Agility SATA3 that mounts in an instant. At that point, the bill draws on the opposite reactivity with SSD and the difference of the processor, though not so obvious, back to bite. It is also possible to realize different combinations. We have spoken of a disk of only 60GB in effect, but in the Pro can also be used as an adapter to enter the optibay the HDD of 320GB in place of the original SuperDrive. In this way we obtain the speed of the solid disc for the operating system and applications and the increased capacity of a traditional hard drive for archiving. Also, the RAM, which base is 4GB on both, on the Pro can be easily increased to 8GB. To want to do things right we should say that the added cost rises well and lose the initial assumption for which we have assigned a point to Pro for the greater economy.Furthermore, the comparison is based, only the basic models, however, the counter remains a valuable expandability, both now and in the future: if after some time you should decide to improve the performance of your Mac, is with the Aircan only change SSD (mSATA but those are expensive), while the Pro will have more flexibility.
u point for the Pro: Pro 5 - 6 Air
With the 2011 version of the MacBook Air has resumed the backlit keyboard, but still (and will) not have an Ethernet port, Superdrive and the infrared receiver. The absence of the reader / writer is a point against him, this is indisputable
equal footing Pro 6 - Air 6. As Apple moves fast towards a future where this will no longer be necessary (see installation and operating system software via the web) can still be useful today. It must be said that with less than 30 € you take an external drive efficiently (review) but this still requires to carry around another "element". On a personal level each of us will be evaluated differently this absence, there are those who do not tolerate it and who has already got used to (in extreme cases supported by the Remote Disk feature) but it is still a lack of perspective in a single complete computer , at least at present.
For this reason we say: Pro 7 - 6 Air
pull the money (or better scores ) won the pro of a single point.
i hope it can help you ti choose

And by the way, where can I get a 4+ meter microphone boom for a budget?

The more expensive one with rails. (the French ebay one) Your using it to make your camera look better for clients, right? Metal and rails look better than the cloth one.
I bet, though, if you want one for functionality (to hold square filters) the cloth one is better made from what it looks likes.

Which casing would you choose???

Hi all, I'm thinkin of gettin a casing for my 3rd gen nano. After browsin' through the Apple store, found 2 which I really like: Belkin Remix Acrylic Case and the Belkin leather folio.
Here are the links for yoou guys to have a look: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?n=ipodn ano3&fnode=home/shopipod/ipodaccessories/cases&nplm=TP799LL/A&mco=EB91F8EC (Belkin Remix Acrylic Case)
and Belkin leather folio: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?n=ipodn ano3&fnode=home/shopipod/ipodaccessories/cases&nplm=TP791LL/A&mco=497D89F1
I can't seem to decide on which one to get!! So, I'd like to ask all of you, especially those who have either one of the casings, which one would you get for me?
Also, the store is in the States but I stay in Singapore, would I still be able to purchase it, and what is the price for the casings in Singapore dollars? The Apple online Singapore store doesn't seem to have the leather folio.

Hey, hopefully I can offer a suggestion...
Those two cases are quite different from each other. One is a leather folio with a clasp and the other is a clear case. You first have to decide which type of case you want.
I purchased the exact same Belkin folio for my wife, but in the white+orange colour. She loves it. She likes to put her iPod on shuffle and just let it play while she's on the bus and exercising.
If you are the type of person who changes songs a lot, looks at photos, and watches video, the folio might not be the best, because you are constantly having the clasp open.
Another thing about the Belkin folio is that the pictures are deceiving: the plastic shield doesn't actually cover the clickwheel, only the screen. It's a bit misleading and I was disappointed when my wife opened it and we found that out. Also, the top and bottom the iPod aren't completely covered, so in time it could get scratched.
I still like the case though, as it offers nice protection for the most part, and looks really nice.
The other case is basically a plastic skin. If you like that look and feel, then maybe it'd be for you!
Hope this helps,
Matt

Hard drive duke out...which one would you put your life on the line for?

As far as SATA drives go only...
Seagate 320 gig Barracuda (ST3320820AS) vs. Samsung 320 gig HD320KJ vs. factory WD/Apple 250 gig drive. All about the same age (3/07) except for the Apple 250 which is about 8/06.
Which one would you choose for your main drive?
Thanks a bunch!

Everybodys milage seems to vary with Hard drives as does the current quality of certain manufactures. Personally I've been burned numerous times on Seagate drives but that could simply be my luck of the draw. What is really more important is how you use specific drives vs their reliability.
I have a RAID 5 Linux server in my rack for my major archiving. That server has been built with Raptor OS drives (Small ones, 36Gb) as all it has is FC5. The RAID array is built from much cheaper (per Gb) 500Gb WD Caviar drives. In my configuration this comes to about 1.25Tb of RAID 5 storage. I can sustain a full drive failure without losing my data. I can also lose my OS drive, buy an new one, Install Fedora 5 again, and my RAID will still be there. (I've backed up the critical files necessary to support this and I've tested it. It works.)
My MacPro is just about to be rebuilt. I got a Hitachi Ultrastar from Newegg.com
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145164
I have 4x500Gb WD drives in my Pro configured to be a RAID 1 from 2 1Tb logical volumes. I plan on using this for quick local archive of projects as yanking a 50Gb project from there is still much faster than off my RAID 5 plus my RAID 5 is quickly getting filled from my photography work so I'm using the RAID 1 for my video work. In addition to that, I have a Firewire 800 1TB external drive to run on TimeMachine and back up all my working files on my new OS drive. If I sound paranoid. I am. Just remember no matter WHO's drive you buy, it is, in the end, not a question of IF it might fail, but WHEN. You should plan your work environment expecting your drives will fail and then make sure you have enough backup that you can recover from that. One could argue there may be holes even in my backup plan. There are, but in the end, I can recover everything, baring my home burning down. (and actually I'm covered for that, all be it the latency in the backup is probably on a 2 week cycle).

In which steps would you implement SCM APO?

A company want to use the APO applications DP, SNP, PP/DS and GATP in the future.
In which sequence would you implement these applications?
Thanks for feedback.

Hi,
There is no written down procedure for implementing any of the modules it depends on the business requirement
and the maturity levels of the Organization in handling SAP APO.
If organization is already on SAP ECC system the best thing to do is GO Live with all the models since then the
requirment gathering exercise and Blue Printing Exercise can be done in one shot and integration of each modules can be also done in one shot, this means that it reduces the efforts. However understanding of the APO system for the Business is a must
so that right fuctionalities can be selected in each modules to meet the business requirments.
Thanks,
Harsh

Which router would you suggest?

Which router would you suggest only for connecting 2 ISPs?
thanx

This depends on how much traffic you have between, and what all interfaces you want to connect on .
like ATM or HSSI. For a medium end you can go for 3725 or 7200VXR is also a better choice that has CEF enabled .

Which migration path would you pick?

You have 2 instances of DBMS with multiple applications attached to them: one is Oracle and the other is SQL Server. They evolved over the years from different organizations serving the same types of clientele but the clientele are disjoint. What would you do when asked to consolidate DBMSs?
[1] Maintain separate schemas: Use the Oracle Migration Workbench method to migrate everything in SQL Server to Oracle under a different schema?
[2] Deep integration:
- Shoe-horn the schema of SQL Server into the schema in Oracle
- convert all t-sql sprocs to PL/SQL by hand
I am darn sure the [2] is going to cost a whole lot more but how many times more are we talking here --- 2X, 3X, ???? Would anyone in their right mind do [2]?
Please share your thots on this. Thanks!
AY

We have a great many customers doing both. Today you can use SQL Developer Migrations to migrate the SQL Server to Oracle and that includes the T-SQL. I'll leave the forum readers to answer your query from their experiences, but please drop me a line at [email protected] I'd be happy to help you discuss your options in terms of migrating to Oracle and provide you with details and material to get you started.
In the meantime - please note that there are small tutorials and demonstrations on the Migrations page that can give you an idea of the process once you are ready to migrate. http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html

Which One Would You Buy?

Hello to All - My brother already has a 240GB Crucial M500 installed in one laptop, and now he wants to buy a new Crucial SSD around 250GB in size for another machine. He wanted to buy another M500, but they're no longer available, and he isn't too sure which one to choose from the current models. Given the choice, and regardless of price, would you choose the BX100, the MX100, or the MX200?

Thanks for your quick responses, and the link to the article on anandtech.com in particular. ***Edited to remove Crucial competitor***
