AT100-105 - any news regarding the update to Android 4.0.

Hi!
I have an AT100-105 (3G) European model and wondered if there are any news regarding the update to Android 4.0. Heard somewhere there was a problem with the modem compatibility.
Is it still the case?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. I noticed those threads. Only posted this one because the others only mention the AT100-100 which only has Wifi ( I have a friend that already got the update on this model) and mine is the AT100-105 which has Wifi and 3G capability.
Due to the differences in the models, I thought it also merited a different thread.

Any new features in R12 for EDI

Hi all,
Currently POD (proof of delivery) comes to our client through EDI 214. Sometimes due to some problems in EDI this message got lost and the business has no traceability of this message. Is there any additional capabilities available in R12 so that better traceability will be there on messages received,failed messages and reason for failure etc.,?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bharathi

There is new Checklist functionality in base Release 12 that allows you to generate to do lists based on life events, e.g., create a new template 'to do list' for new hires and then when a new hire is detected, generate a to do list for that new hire and allocate out actions using AME.
For multi business group customers, there is also new Global Transfer screens that automate the process of an employee transferring between BGs.
There is a new Leave of Absence Screen in Self Service, replacing the old clunky one.
Finally, the SSHR Competence Profile screen has been upgraded and much improved.
I would say that there are some 'nice' HRMS features in R12 but nothing compelling an upgrade; unlike Financials as Ramsys says. This will change in a year or so as any new enhancements will only be delivered in releases like 12.1 and so on.
Most importantly though, it will get increasingly difficult to get your bugs fixed in 11i, with only critical fixes getting approval after a while. An R12 upgrade should be on everyone's 2-3 yr roadmap for this reason alone.

Any new ideas or suggestions for flattening layer effects without changing appearance

Hello all,
I've been doing a lot of looking around for ideas on how to make my work flow more simple. I regularly run into an issue with layer effects when they are flattened and have been unable to find any good solutions but was wondering if any new developments have come up with the newer versions of Photoshop that I am somehow overlooking?
My main issue is that when I flatten layers in sections or groups (i.e. flatten only 2 or more layers together in a larger composition but not the entire compostion), layer effects with blending modes often flatten strangely. I particularly notice this with drop shadows as I often use a color other than black, usually a very dark shade of the color that is applied to the element the shadow is overlapping. To me it gives it a much more realistic and natural look. When I flatten a layer I notice that it appears the multiply mode is stripped from drop shadow FX unless they are flattened with the nackground element, so if I used a dark blue for example, once flattened the shadow is now a distinct blue shade that appears to be in normal blending mode. I can set that drop shadow layer to multiply to restore it but then I have to keep the drop shadow element on it's own layer seperate from the body of the other flattened content otherwise it inherits the multipoy mode as well of course, which still leaves me with an unwanted layer to deal with.
My curreny solutions range from hiding all other layers and merging visible, which works from some things but not the aforementioned drop shadow issue, I will also keep things that just don't co-operate on their own seperate layer, like the drop shadow and just leave them be if I can. In cases where that isn't an option I will even hide all other layers and comp the portion of the PSD that needs flattened to a seperate TIFF or PNG and import back into the PSD. Sometimes this will work around the issue and make everything interact as desired. It's a lenghty affair though that involves mental acrobatics every time to devise a suitable workaround that I can use for my purposes.
The reason I need to do this often is because I work for a web development company as the designer. Once the design is done sometimes I will do the slicing and prepping for web (not an issue when I do this because I can leave everything as a PSD). When other team members like the web developer need access to the graphics files though, they use Fireworks which means I need a layered PNG so they can slice as needed with the software they are familiar with while maintining transparency where needed.
I know some will say just to use Fireworks then but that isn't a desireable solution to me because I find Fireworks very limiting on the advanced Fx and graphic manipulation. I agree that Fireworks can be very capable and can do very nice things when you're thinking of the design of the entire site in general, but it usually can't do the advanced fx and manipulation I like to use for the "eye candy" portions of the site, especially when you are using mutiple Fx on a layer with their own blending modes. I find it more of a hassle to build a general site in Fireworks and import elements from Phoroshop. Keeping track of proper sizing and constantly loading placeholder background images to photoshop for reference isn't for me!
I have a pretty decent understanding of how the layer flattening works and how the blending modes function (like the fact you can't have mutiple blending modes on a single layer, thus many of the issues with layer Fx blending modes). I am using CS5.5 Design premium and am hoping there have been some advances in working with this type of thing. I know that if I could flatten the drop shadow layer with the layer it overlaps that would solve the issue nicely but this is seldom possible on websites where you have fluid areas that need to change size and the image element with the drop shadow may not always be in the same place on the site background.
It would be awesome if, since you have the ability to apply blending modes to individual layer effects, if Photoshop could have a setting to somehow flatten the layer effects and layer in it's own self containted process and then place the flattened layer within the the PSD as if you imported a transparent image like a TIFF or PNG. This is basically what I do on the extreme side of tihngs manually when needed. It would be great if there was a way to automate that type of functionality.
Does anyone know of any new or good method to deal with this type of thing? Sorry about the long post, I was trying to be as detailed as possible as I know it's sometimes easy to misunderstand what someone is asking with this type of question. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read/respond!

Hi Noel,
Thanks for the reply. The reason I need to do things this way is because of the workflow at my company. I need to be able to convert my photoshop PSD files in Fireworks and have the layers behave predictably. Trying to open a PSD file as is in Fireworks, while keeping the layer flexibility intact usually creates all kinds of chaos, ranging from Fireworks flat out ignoring some layer effects to drastically changing them. I assume because Fireworks way of intrepreting some setting numerically is different than Photoshop and because Fireworks doesn't even have some of the effect properties at all.
The web developers need to have layered PNG files so they can slice re-slice and move elements around as needed white they develop a website. They need to maintain transparency on the seperate elements of the website mockup so that they can reuse and move elements around as needed. At times I end up doing the CSS layout on a site and in those cases it doesn't matter becuase I can work straight from the PSD and export elements straight to PNG files etc as needed. It's when I need to provide the development team with a Fireworks PNG version of the website mockup that I have these issues.
For example and to clarify, I may have a website interface designed that has several fancy buttons or a header element with drop shadows on them or that overlap a background element in some way. If I am doing the coding on the site I can simply hide all other layers than the releveant ones, flatten visible to maintain transparency, save for web etc and I have the element complete with a nice drop shadow ready to drop into the code. If the developers are doing the slicing and layout though, they don't know how to use Photoshop (and aren't going to be learning anytime soon) but they do use Fireworks... so they want the site in fireworks, complete with the ability to hide background elements or other parts of the site that may be in the way of making the proper PNG for that button or other element that maintains transparency AND keeps the drop shadow, the proper color and transparency as well.
What typically happens if I don't flatten each element of the site design before importing into Fireworks is that it will look very different in Fireworks, but being web developers (lol!) they don't notice or maybe even care that something looks weird or appears to be missing a shadow or other effect. Then once the site goes live, the client DOES notice it and I end up scrambling to fix the issue. That usually means going back to the PSD in a rush and trying to flatten all the elements anyway to convert to a nice Fireworks PNG so they can recapture their slices, or taking the slice they used on the website and pasting it into the PSD original so I can make a direct match and converting the element myself after the fact.
In order to avoid these work flow issues and embarrassments I have taken to flattening each individual element (i.e. a button and all of it's effects) of website GUI to ensure Fireworks can't fiddle with it on import. I can then give the web developers a PNG they can slice easily but with all the important elements still completely seperate from one another. If they hide the layer that is the shopping cart button for example, they are going to be hiding the button and it's drop shadow or glow or any other effects. That way it can't be messed up by Fireworks or a developer. With buttons in particular I can't just include a portion of the background where the drop shadow would be becuase that button could end up anywhere on the site in the end. One of the features our business offers clients is a fair amount of flexibility on the CMS side of things to move elements around and create new sections of the site so I need to keep most elements as felxible as possible, preferrably without giving up quality of the artwork.
I feel like I have a fairly solid understanding of why the layer effects act the way they do and how they interact, even if I don't understand fully the math that makes them do what they do. I guess I was hoping that the increasing power in the CS suites, especially in 5 and 5.5 might have made some new work around possible, or that they might have added some feature buried in the menus somewhere because it's not that practicle for many users. I have several ways to work around these issues now, but they are manual and cumbersome, I was hoping there might have been an action script or feature to automate some of this.
I think a really cool thing to be able to do would be to be able to select some layers and have Photoshop copy them and paste them into a new document with their layer styles and all intact, flatten that document with transparency intact and then put the new flattened file back into the original document in the same location on the artboard as a new layer. This is essentially what I do when I hide all the other layers, merge visible and save as a TIFF or PNG and then copy that new file back into my full PSD document. I still experience some color shifting this way but usually not as drastic as when I try to merge directly in the full PSD. OR if that can't work, even better would be to somehow have the effects be able to "float" with the actual photoshop layer, almost like sub layers of that layer, so that each one could have it's own blending mode (and individual masks for each... that would be awesome!) and you could flatten them together somehow when needed and maintain color tones etc. Don't know if this could work though since I don't know what the limitations of the math process that combines the layers are. I would imagine some of it it would be possible, if not worth their time, since smart objects open in their own document window when you edit. I would imagine that some code work on the back end might be able to be applied using a similar method to give extra flexbility of some layer effects in Photoshop. I would love it, I know that!
Hopefully there is at least as faster way if not an ideal work around. It defintely adds to the development cycle of a website to have to go through this step. It's also at a point in the development cycle where the site has been approved and there can be added pressure about why they development team still has to wait on a design that has already been OK'd and should be ready to slice. I have gained understanding with my boss about this and it's worked out OK for the most part, but it would certainly make him happier if I could eliminate that extra step, or reduce the time needed. On a complicated website I might lose half a day of work or more sorting out the various site elements and figuring out how much I can flatten and how and what order to break effects off their layers to maintain appearance. I have tried Fireworks several times as a native solution, but ultimately I feel very restricted by Fireworks and often can't do what I had in mind, although it has gotten better. Also on a psychological level, Fireworks "working with basic shapes" method of desigining a website tends to steer me down that mental path for some reason and I always end up with sites that look much less fluid and organi, much more boxy than when I design in Photoshop. One of our companies selling points is that we design sites that break away from the boxy and simpler web 2.0 look so Fireworks is not really a consideration for me at this point. Thanks again for the help and any respones!

Any news on software update for dock-remote?

Is there any news on a software update to fix the remote troubles we have all had?

Here is a kind fo wish list for Updates for the Universal Dock and Remote:
1. Menu button functionality for iPod through the remote.
2. A similar "Front Row" experience for iPod, when connected to a television, which would allow you to access music, picture, or movie menus on the screen. Or, at least replicate the iPod display on your television.
3. Remote controll functionality when a Universal Dock is connected to your Mac. I do not see why this could not happen. You have an infrared remote and a reciever connected to your Mac, why not take advantage of it? I think that this would be a great way to get Front Row to function on other Macs besides the new iMac. Or at least allow the remote controll to access and controll iTunes.
4. Firewire for the 5G iPods. This is more of a hardware issue. I do not understand the lack of firewire support, but I won't get into that here. If is not possible place firewire support inside the new iPods becuase of design constraints, then make a new Universal Dock that somehow will allow firewire support to the new iPods.
Sorry, Stephen for this odd post, but I did not know where else to post this.
Is there a place that I may go to make suggestions to Apple?

Any news on a fix for incompatibility between non-apple docks and ios 7?

Neither Bose nor Sony dock will play music after "upgrading" to ios 7. I've seen many complaints on these forums but haven't heard any sort of response from Apple. None of the "fixes" have worked for me. Any news about a patch? Thanks.

Here's what M-Audio's support sent me today:
The iControl Protocol (the protocol by which the iControl Control Surface communicates with Garage Band and Logic) was created by Apple, and the iControl Control Surface was designed by M-Audio to Apple s specifications. The iControl has no drivers to install and is class compliant.
It has happened over the course of Garage Band and Logic development that some updates (both major and incremental) of these applications have had the side effect of changing the way certain features of iControl interact with the Apple software.
Since the iControl was built to Apple s original specifications, and since the device uses no drivers (therefore no M-Audio drivers to update), there is no way for M-Audio to address these issues directly. Any fixes for these issues would have to come in the form of updates to Garage Band or Logic.
That obviously doesn't keep them from marketing and selling it ...

Anyone have any news on Sprint EVDO for MBP

Anyone have any new information? Still waiting for Sprint EVDO for these express slots.

I am not sure where you got your information on the
use of the phone as a modem. If you use the USB 2
synch cable with a treo 700p, or the optional USB
cable for other phones to use phone as a modem mode,
you should get as good, or better throughput. Robert
Morgan at www.barefeats.com did the comparison of an
EVDO card vs. phone as a modem with the use of a
cable. While not elegant, it does work. With the Treo
I use USBmodem and it allows me to receive phone
calls while cruising the internet.
Sure, you can receive a call while surfing, but once you answer the call, you can't be surfing at same time. One or the other.
Many roadwarriors who have to be online and talking to their clients/employers at same time, came to us because they couldn't talk and surf at same time.
After switching to dedicated EVDO data devices, these same users are what reported back to me, that in the same places where they could never see more than 600-700-900kbps, they were now getting 1000-1200+kbps downloads, making their life that much easier. Even faster downloads now that Rev-A data devices are available.
I attribute the speed gain to better signal capture, and better data-processing ability of a laptop.
here are a couple of links to enlighten:
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?domains=1
(shows fastest cellphone test results)
http://www.dslreports.com/archive/spcsdns.net
(shows fastest EVDO speeds)
look for 'spcsdns.net', those are sprint test results. compare the two groups, and you tell me which got better results... phone or dedicated data device?
i'll close by repeating what i said earlier. for those who need only infrequent data access, tethering is the way to go. but for the roadwarrior who needs fastest downloads and the ability to talk on phone at same time. get a phone and an EVDO data device like one of these:
http://www.evdoinfo.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,117/
PowerBook G4 - find me on ichat as EVDOalex Mac OS X (10.4.8) I work for 3Gstore.com/EVDOinfo.com & benefit from purchases at sites I link to.

Will there be any new player software upgrades for the Zen Micro-all those in the know please re

The only thing that I like about the ipod and itunes is the fade out of the current song and the fade in of the new song, which works well in all playing modes.
Thanks
Matt

I'm not 'in the know', but my suspicion is that we are all done for the Zen Micro now. There aren't any bugs left in the firmware, and generally the Micro does all it was supposed to do. The market is moving away from the 5gig(ish) hard dri've players (being replaced by high capacity flash), which means the micro is running to the end of its life.
Thats not really a bad thing, the Micro is stable, and we have some new features (Audible) that we didn't have when purchased. I think that is about all we can hope for....

Any suggestions regarding security software for my MacBook?

Just picked up a new MacBook Pro. What are the guidelines for security software (malware/spyware/anti-virus)? I have access to Norton Security Suite from Comcast. Would that be o.k. to load or would it cause problems?

The only "need" to have an anti-virus software is if you exhange emails with Windows users and do not want to be beaten up by them when forwarding a virus infected mail.
There are two free solutions available (ClamAvX and Sophos) that work quite well without slowing down the Mac too much.
Although I have one of these AV apps installed, I have never come across any mail virus on my Mac over the last decade.
No other software needed, just the usual setup for every computer:
disable auto-login
enable the internal firewall if your router does not have one (or you do not have a router)
activate the password lock for the screen saver
use your brain while browsing the internet
The last topic is most likely the most important one

Any new(er) parsers available for Trend products (TMCM)

There are some older threads here asking about MARS and Trend integration. I'm not interested in Trend's DCS or related MARS integration, but just wanting to send some simpe syslogs from Trend's TMCM product to MARS. and have MARS parse them properly.
I've never done any custom parsing work on MARS, and hate to have to start now (espectially with the demise of MARS) so any work already done in that regard that can be shared would be much appreciated.
thanks

Any news about SQLSRV Driver for PHP x64?

I have tried several times to compile this for x64 with no luck, all I keep getting are errors like these:
ext\sqlsrv\core_stmt.cpp(1994) : error C2664: 'convert_string_from_utf16' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'SQLLEN' to 'SQLINTEGER &'

Everybody says it's because x64 is experimental in PHP 5.5, but I have successfully compiled another well known DB Server (IBM DB2) for x64 without any problems or errors, Oracle also comes with PHP 5.5 x64, so if DB2 and Oracle can be compiled for x64 why
not SQLSRV?
Thanks,

Could you try my PHP 5.5.20 builds at http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6123 ?
I made a few changes: https://github.com/Jan-E/msphpsql/commit/45c6300f2dbc74dd0aa4aaf57b76bea084050ed8
php_pdo_sqlsrv.dll does not compile yet with x64, but php_sqlsrv.dll does. Please check the 64-bits builds and also make sure that the 32-bits build still works.
BTW: I added PHP 5.6 support as well.
