Which one do you choose? JellyBean or trade-in credit or nothing?

I read news from Verge :
"Motorola also said that it would offer a $100 trade-in credit to those who bought a Motorola phone in 2011 (or later) that isn't eligible for the update to Jelly Bean."
Resource : http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/6/3298835/motorola-100-dollar-trade-in-details
Sony should the same thing. If they don't release JellyBean update for Xperia 2011 series , they should give trade-in credit like Motorola.

there are other threads on the subject

Would Sony Do like what Motorola has offered wrt JB upgrade?
why is the above message being moderated?

White or Black?? Which one do you choose??

I cant make up my mind!! Which iPhone 4 color are you going to get????

Yeah!, I had one on my 3G, except they kept coming off on the corners after about 2 months and I would have to "order a replacement".... Still have time to fight with myself to come to a FINAL decision.
I was hoping for more responses to try and help myself make a decision but that not going to well...

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).

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

Which one I should choose ?

I'm a beginner and I have no idear which one I should choose:JB5.0,VJ++ or anyone else.I'm looking foward some suggestions about it.
Thank for your help.

I��ve seen the suggestions of willright,morgalr,DrClap, and jsalonen. Thank for your helps. I��ve also heard some evaluations about VJ++ as DrClap said, and it doesn��t matter whether it��s free or not, but now I maintain JB is more suitable cause I think JDK��s form Sun are difficult to understand. I��m not so bright that I like visual platform and I��ll go to see the Forte you advised. Thank you very much!

Mountain Lion is the current version of the latest OS, with Mavericks coming this fall.
However, I would suggest that you simply upgrade to Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. It's a very good, very fast OS and, best of all, it can still run those PPC apps that you may be using.

Which One Should I Choose?

When I launch Disk Utility, I'm asked to select a disk, volume, or image. I'm enclosing a photo of my hard drives. For instance, if I wanted to repair disk permissions on "Hard Disk," there appear to be two choices. Choice one: Hard Disk icon. Choice two: Hard Disk icon and number 74.5 GB ST380021A
Which one should I choose to repair?
The same choices are given to the other two hard drives that I have. Two choices per hard disk?
I use a Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 (QuickSilver 2002); running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.

Niel is correct, for repairing permissions etc you can use ether...
The upper icon (ST380021A) represents the device, the icon underneath it (Hard Disk) represents a partition, (you can divide the disk up into multiple partitions)
If you select the device, actions will affect all partitions, (i.e. fix permissions on all partitions on that device) whereas selecting an individual partition will only affect that one partition.
One thing that breaks this is the partition tab, which applies to the current device and all of it's partitions even if you are only selecting one if it's partitions.

After Effects or Shake? Which one should i choose?

After Effects or Shake？ Which one should i choose？
I never use them before, now i want to choose one to learn.
Im a Mac fans, i do want to use the Mac family product, Shake, but a lot of my friends prefer After Effects.
What one is better? Why?
I just a film student, a beginner, which one is better in the video production area? Which one is better for me?
Help me make a decision!
Thanks!

if you said you were looking to create motion graphics and comps (bumpers, titling and ad's) for a video company or local television station, AE would be a really good match (Shake would likely require additional motion graphics help (like  Motion and perhaps even audio and edit applications as well.)
However, if you are a film student and intend to learn and create composite images for film (and video) then your choice is also as clear, absolutely, Shake.

VirtualBox vs VMware.. which one do you use?

Which one do you all use here?
Which one do you think is better?
Before, when I was using Ubuntu, I always used VirtualBox, I guess I liked it.... But now thinking which one to pick.
I heard in VMware you can run some games (which I can probably run in Wine, but still).

I use VMware Workstation 7.
While I love Free Software, the Free version of VirtualBox lacks USB support, which is a big loss for me.
So, it's between two pieces of proprietary software, despite one being $0.
Workstation unofficially supports OS X guests (questionable legally, use Google), seems to have better guest desktop speed, and has better SMP and video acceleration for me.
Also, VirtualBox has been more buggy in my experience, especially with tiling WMs.
The one thing VirtualBox can do that VMware can't, though, is perform low-level operations on crApple devices: http://ranguvar.wordpress.com/2009/11/2 … irtualbox/
So, I keep it around to help out my friends who buy into those sorts of things.
QEMU is nice and KISS, good for testing alternative OSes like Plan 9 and other *nixes, just suffers from horrendous disk speed.

Which one do you prefer for 2.1 Stereo Speak

I am planning to buy a Creative Sound card for my Streo 2. Speakers but don't know which of Creative EXTERNAL solution will sound better and blast my bass when i connect it to my notebook to streo speaker.Which one do you prefer ? Thanks.

If you have a spare PCMCIA slot, check out the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. External solutions, there is the SBLi've 24-bit External.
You might want to check out the Xmod though, it is a new product and seems to fit the bill if you're trying to improve the audio quality from your laptop.

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

Post iPad 2 iPads all work world wide. Read the specs I provided links to.

Which one do you use?

I recently started asking myself which stability and stress program to use.
Theyre many, but i usually chose between those 3:
1.Stress prime 2004 by Johnny Lee
2.Super Pi by the japanese record breaking guys
3.the well known prime95 (which i dont like to use to test my machines).
prime 95 lacks information and details IMO but is reliable(at least thats what people say), and many people dont know how to use it at first sight(including me), asking themself what is s11t this for?
super pi does not take much time to complete the 32million task, so im not sure about its reliability.
and finally the one that i think is the best is the stress prime 2004 which i like the most, and the funcitons are there and it shows everything in details. the source is taken from prime95 but redone to give better results and details.
so c'mon you o/cers, which one do you prefer ? maybe you can suggest another good one from the rest which you find interesting and reliable!!
and pls no everest or sandra stress test suggestions.
good day

I use the following: http://www.7byte.com/index.php?page=hotcpu
Hot CPU pro is available in an evaluation version that doesn't perform all the tests but still has an accurate diagnostic and burn in mode.
I licensed for the full features and find it works fantastic. Pressing the diagnostic performs tests of the chipset, cpu, memory, hard drive and more for 6 hours and then tells me the result. Or I can run Burn in and test it much more extensively.
LOL .. we had quite a discussion a few years back about this .
Here's a post thats quite amusing : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=63480.0
I have experienced full so called "prime stable" test over 8 hours just having HotCpuTest fail as it just doesn't do prime numbers calculations or Pi calculations but some more and it's one of the best progs to get you down to earth when you thought your system was overclocked stable.
In addition back then there was some faults in prime95 build x.xx (don't remember) with certain setup with A64 page file size and amount of memory.
Was like talkin' to certain stoneheads back then .
Read the thread through and see why not only trust one cpu calculation/benchmark prog :D

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

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***

Which one do you choose? JellyBean or trade-in credit or nothing?
