Appcelerator Titanium? good idea? bad idea?

So in my attempt at learning Objective C and the iPhone SDK to build my own apps i have been directed to The Appcelerator Titanium program for Mac. Is this thing a good idea? It uses Javascript from what i understand is a bit easier to get behind than Object C or Java (which id like to eventually do Android apps to).
So any opinions on this? good? bad? any input would be great.
Thanks

My iPhone started acting "loopy" in March. Locked up while I was on the road; had to buy a Go phone. After a complete restore... well, it continued to act flakey: would randomly ask for SIM PIN, would randomly restart itself, would loose signal which it regained after restart. Trip to the Genius bar in Tampa: replaced the phone, then had AT&T replace the SIM card. Problems returned. Trip to Genius bar in Orlando: another phone but problems persisted. Call to Apple: conference call w/ 2 Apple techs, AT&T tech and decided to get another SIM card from AT&T store but not turn on SIM PIN. Problems persisted. Another call to Apple on Saturday, May 3. Apple tech Lynn asked "Do you have a belt case w/ a magnetic clasp?" I said "Yes." She said "Get rid of it." Her daughter had similar problems w/ iPod which were caused by case w/ magnetic clasp. So I stopped using the case w/ magnetic clasp and my iPhone has been rock solid ever since. Kudos to Lynn. Note to other Apple techs: That should be the 1st question you ask.

Apex and remote database links.... Good idea or bad?

We would like to have one single Apex installation that would be used to develop many applications against many remote databases.
Database links would seem to be the obvious mechanism to achieve this goal, but we have had many issues with db links.
Also, our research indicates this might not be a good idea for various reasons.
Any opinions or experiences around this topic would be greatly appreciated.

we have had many issues with db links. In that case it's a bad idea.
It's not really an Apex question. If you can't get db links to work, it's a database issue. If it's performance over the db link, again it's a database issue (assuming modern networks aren't the bottleneck here). Remote views (instead of selecting from remote tables) often increase performance.
If the applications don't have to share data over the db links, you can set up one master application and several sub-applications on the different databases. The master is used to log in once. See:

MBPR w/Hard Case = Good or Bad Idea?

I am the happy owner of a new MBPr 15" and like many other owners am keen on protecting my investment. The first thing that came to mind was to outfit it with a hard case and being a detail guy I researched the topic online. Turns out many are saying that a hard case is NOT a good idea for the following two good reasons:
extra weight on the screen wears down the hinges which can lead to a very expensive screen replacement.
overheating/heating issues even with hard cases that have cutouts for vents that can cause permanent damaged to the battery and internal components.
Apple sells the hard cases in their stores and it seems that they are divided on the answer with some "Genius" bar employees saying hard cases are not good and others suggesting them to protect your MacBook Pro. Hard case companies are of course saying that their products are safe to use (the contrary would seriously jeopardize the sale of their product). I have asked Apple and leading case/accessory maker Moshi to comment on this issue and will post their replies in this thread.
My goal is to pool the statements, experiences and opinions on the subject to make it definitely clear once and for all if hard cases are indeed a bad idea to protect your Retina MacBook Pro. Do you have anything to say or share?

The general rule of thumb is that sample-instrument samples should be stored on a separate drive. This is particularly crucial if you're streaming samples from disk (EXS with "virtual memory" on, or DFD (direct from disk) as found in other sample-based plugs).
And you'll want to record audio on a separate drive as well, never on your system drive (except in a pinch) if you can help it.
For a laptop, the ideal system would be to have separate external drives for audio recording and samples. If you're working on a tower/desktop model, these additional drives can be exclusively external drives or a combination of internal and external drives.
My system:
• Lacie 250G (video playback) FW400
• Glyph 250G (sample storage #1) FW400
• OWC 350G (sample storage #2) eSATA (via eSATA PCI-e card)
• Maxtor 500G drive (audio recording/project drive) -- internal
Works very nicely!

Keyboard cover, good or bad idea?

Just wondering if having a cover on the keyboard affects the intake of air into the computer. Is the air intake in the keyboard?
Thanks

I have been told not to cover the keyboard due to air intake, so i would say no not a good idea,
I may be wrong thou

Good IDE or plugin for any IDE for Swing

Hi all,
I want to create Swing GUI in my application, but i didn't find good IDE for it.
Some IDE what i tried are not allow to freely drop the component on the frame.
The Layout's(Flow,Border..etc) no one is good . I have used C# in one of my application there the i could able to build the GUI very easily. I can drop any where on the screen without much problem.
I want such a tool the should allow me drop the components freely ...
Always we say JAVA ruling...But not ..we have not (Including SUN) developed such a simple GUI designer for Java..
I really feel bad...
IS any thing exist like that

didn't find good IDE for it.
Some IDE what i tried are not allow to freely drop
the component on the frame.You cant freely drop the components, until unless u set the layout
of the container null .
The Layout's(Flow,Border..etc) no one is good . I
have used C# in one of my application there the i
could able to build the GUI very easily. I can drop
any where on the screen without much problem.Read Java APIs. Read IDE's documentation. I think
NetBeans has the best GUI builder.

Why are flash buttons not a good idea?

I'm trying to figure out a problem I'm having with flash
buttons (mainly that I don't want users to have to click twice to
make them work), and I keep seeing posts (particularly by Murray)
asking if the poster knows that flash buttons aren't a good idea.
However, I was unable to find an explanation as to
why they are a bad idea. Can anyone explain this to me in
layman's terms? I'm very new to Dreamweaver and web development in
general. I'm developing an intranet site for a specific group of
users where accessibility is not a huge concern.
Thanks!

Consider these scenarios -
1. I don't have Flash installed. I don't get the benefit of
your Flash
navigation element.
2. I am a search engine spider. I don't get the benefit of
your Flash
navigation element.
Need I say more? 8)

Use of flash buttons - not a good idea?

Hi guys
I've been advised in an earlier post against the use of flash
buttons. As someone relatively new to Adobe products I'm interested
to know how flash buttons don't seem to be supported but flash
moves or indeed flash websites are in abundance and seemingly have
no problems, or personally speaking I've not had problems viewing
such websites in the past. I'm not contending the opinion I was
given but as someone on a learning curve I think it would be
invaluable to learn how one works and not the other.
Also, what would be a suitable alternative to flash buttons,
I'm considering using jpg images which change on mouse-over using
javascript.
Mike

sigh - i was trying to be nonjudgemental. one may have a site
where seo is a nonissue and they know that their audience has the
latest flash-equipped browser (like mine, for example. while i
choose to not use flash for different reasons, i don't rely on
search engines as a meaningful source of business and/or leads.)

Roaming (ethernet connected base station) and wireless extended network at the same time. Good idea?

I have a Time Capsule (6th gen.) which is my main base station. I also have a number of airport extremes around the house. I only use them in the client mode, i.e. they just join the network so that I can stream audio to devices connected to them.
As I had bad reception in the garden, I installed my old dual-band airport extreme (4th gen) in the garden shed. All Apple articles I read on the topic convinced me that roaming (ethernet connected base station) is much better than wireless extending because you don't lose throughput. As I had no ethernet in the shed, I used two powerline adapters to bring ethernet there and I connected my airport extreme.
Then I had to re-install all the airport expresses (as I had also changed the name of the network) and I noticed that the default option of the Airport utility is to make them extend the network wirelessly instead of just joining to it. I did not do it, but I am wondering. Is it a good idea? As they are in different rooms than the Time Capsule, of course the network there is not as strong as close to the Time Capsule. I still get "good enough" connection, but I will I have an improvement if I allow every Airport Express to extend the network as well? Or will I have problems with the throughput. My idea is not to do it and keep the net as simple as possible, i.e just extend it with roaming in the garden where I really need it and let the airport expresses in client mode.

As usual AirPort Utility is trying to be clever. It is proposing what Apple thinks most people will want to do with it, and most of the time it succeeds.
Having the Expresses "wirelessly extend" the Time Capsule's wireless network will increase your wireless network service area and should not introduce new problems. If that is not what you want to do though, you can certainly return to AirPort Utility and select "join a wireless network". It is a simpler configuration, and simpler is better for home wireless networks.

PCI Card for a new SSD. Good Idea?

Just upgragraded my 2009 MP (processor 3.33, video card, Ram). Just got a new 256 Samsung SSD wich is going below the optical drive. Did a search here about PCIe card for the drive and found that there's good and bad about it. Found this model model (Velocity solo x2). Is there one specific brand more suitable? or just make it simple and install the ssd below the optical drive.
Thanks

The 2008 only has two 16x PCIe slots and the Sonnet Tempo Pro should be in the #2.
Even gpu's do not do as well as later models in performance, and some PCIe cards only supported booting in a 2009 or later.
Installing Mac OS to Sonnet Tempo I am sure you have read of the issues and how to get around it, is even on Sonnettech.com
Even though it 'tests' as xyz MB/sec in the real world the system is fine on SATA2 and in non-RAID setups. The 0.1ns seeks and latency and higher IO for reads. Someone did some thorough tests of different SSDs, different PCIe cards and the synthetic benchmarks. And concluded there was no real difference to the system and work load whether the system was on SATA2, but could be work performance using PCIE for other uses.
Generally I find this to be helpful start: www.macperformanceguide.com on perfomance
Putting scratch and graphic libraries for Aperture/Lightroom and others on a SSD and on a separarte bus helped. Even helps having iPhoto on SSD and the photo library folder on another drive - so you aren't read and write to same.
SoftRAID 4 - using 3 drives in a mirror but it uses "stripped reads" seems like it is fast, simple, less overhead and most people just never get idea of using more than two drives in a mirror, but it works great and makes it easy to pull one for backup. SoftRAID also does a better threaded background rebuild, and during idle time scans its drives for errors and bad or weak sectors. A lifesaver.
Even using the optical bay for the system might be perfect and then using the Tempo Pro for other uses.
With system's and SSD's and stripped, then of course a couple restore images and run DU against the array with TRIM enabled on a weekly basis, something, especially if the array is getting hammered as scratch. Tests though show those SSDs can take huge TBs of punishment day after day, but I have seen my own and read of too many errors.

Is it a good idea to use the A/C adapter without the battery installed?

Hi everyone!
I have a question. When using my iBook, is it a good idea or is it adviceable to power my iBook using the A/C adapter only, without the battery installed - for the purpose of preserving my battery? I tend to use my iBook heavily and as a desktop computer replacement.
My iBook is a G4 1.33 Ghz 12" model running OS X Version 10.4.10 and my peripherals are optical mouse, keyboard, powered speakers and an external hard drive.
Thanks.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Well the service manual says:
"Warning: Never turn on the computer unless all of its internal parts are in place and it is fully reassembled. Operating the missing parts can damage the computer or cause injury."
Without a battery in place the battery connector would be exposed and things always find their way into the opening. I've heard of people keeping a bad battery in place just for that reason. Also if you keep it plugged in all the time it won't lose it's date/time.
If you check "set Date & Time automatically" in the "Date & Time" system preferences the iBook will automatically reset the time if you have a internet connection.

Is usng while(true) loop in run mthd of thread good idea 2 make it wait ind

hi freinds.
sorry for writing short forms in my subject, but what i want to know is that is is using while(true) loop in run method of thread good idea to make it wait indefinately.
if not then what might be a good idea.
I Just need to Start a thread and make it wait indefinitely,
thanks

No. "while (true) {}" is a horribly bad way to do
nothing, as that thread will use 100% of the CPU.
What does "wait indefinitely" mean? Surely it can't
mean "wait forever", but if it doesn't mean that then
I can't guess what it does mean. Do you want to wait
until some condition is true? Or do you want to wait
a random amount of time? More information would help.Hello Dr.Clap, read your comments then checked my task manager and found that indeed it occupies 100% of CPU usage. thats really horrible , even i dont want that . ok i will explain u what i am trying to do along with my program on how i have accomplished it . please correct me where i went wrong.
My Requirement
my Application is deployed on JBOSS which has its JMS. now lets say i have defined a Queue named "MyAppQueue" and i know that all the senders whereever they may be will post there messages on this queue.
Now my responsibility is to write a MessageReceiver which is continously running and checking this queue for messages. whenever it receives a message it immidiately calls the messagesListener which processes the message.
So sow my requirement of Writing such MessageReceiver is that , it should always be in running mode(that means once i start it, it starts forever since this is going to be a REal time application) and continously checking the queue, as soon as some message comes it calls messageListener. and also that this messageReceiver should be fast , i mean coz many messages may come at once say 40-50 messages in a minute.
so please tell me how do i now write this MessageReceiver.
the way i have written

Why does it take so long for microsoft to incorporate good ideas into programs, but then after they do no one elses software will work on the system?

Case in point: I can not use Xp any longer since it is not supported by microsoft, and latest lan driver requires xp service packs which are no longer available for XP or Vista. So my old software as of April 2014 is now worthless as internet access software(microsoft
will not provide support or service packs for xp). So I get a new pc with WIN7 op system installed and try to do traditional backups to protect myself should my system crash in the future. (usually this means cloning a hard drive or installing Faronics Deep
Freeze to protect my op system in case of catastrophic failure.) I try to install and use some of these utility software types including Acronis Disk Director 12, Avanquest Perfect Image, Partition Commander 10, and others True Image Hdd utility for cloning
hdds. Most of these I try to run turn out to be useless, and I get pop-up messages saying my software is incompatible with win 7 op sys! I am wondering if it is the software or the fact the op system is 64bit (not 32 bit) which means that if you buy any other
software to help with utilities it will be worthless because most are written for 32 bit systems not 64. No one tells you these warning signs when you buy the pc with the 64 bit software already installed. But for a Toshiba 15" computer that normally
costs 400$ and I can get it at Goodwill used computer store(1stStreet and Fairview in Santa Ana, Ca.) for 175$ I can not complain. Being an unemployed electronic technician, I have to stretch my dollars as far as they will go...Another frustrating thing is
I buy this device made by Apricorn Driveware that allows users to hookup a second hdd using a usb cable and a three connector module that will allow the user to connect any hard drive sata or ide or the 3rd type. I try to run it and make a backup copy of internal
hdd but I get error messages saying it can not copy hdds when there are minor differences such as total mbs on each drive or slightly different hardware issues such as my pc has 580 gb internal drive and replacement backup drive is 380gb. Such as shame because
hardware setup is a good idea but without compatible software it is useless! Perhaps if I was using it on my old xp op systems I would have fewer problems with software compatibility issues. I really hate the fact that MS does not provide support for known
good op systems like xp say 20yrs? When the products and markets change so fast they run the risk of alienating customers who can not financially keep up with technology changes especially during an economic depression such as the one we are in now( they predict
it will last 20 yrs). a curious thing about the Acronis disk director 12 software I installed. It seemed I could not get partion size on hdd to change no matter what I did. I found out that if I CHANGED THE DATA BLOCK SIZE ON THE NTFS PARTITION FROM 4 KB TO
2 KB THAT I WAS NO LONGER LIMITED BY THE SOFTWARE FROM SHRINKING THE HDD PARTITION FROM 300GB DOWN TO 100GB. Once this item was changed on the hard drives the Disk Director 12 software (Acronis) was able to shrink the partition size to what I wanted.

Due to phenomenal development in Windows, Microsoft released 4 generations of operating systems, succeeding Windows XP. Hence, on various aspects, Windows XP becomes too old to be used practically these days. So the support was pulled out.
I do agree that Windows XP is the most successful operating system ever, so far. But, later versions added more features, enhanced security and compatibility. Moreover, at this point, Windows XP becomes more vulnerable, although security patches are made.
Ultimately, we need to move to a more secure, feature-rich and highly compatible operating system.
With improved features in newer versions of Windows, the NTFS filesystem has also been improved, adding new features. Hence, certain feaures that are not availble in Windows XP are available in Windows 7, again, in Windows 8.1. So is the disk management
features.
As for Acronis Disk Director, it's a third party software and hence we can't comment on the features/its working.

Is buying in the US a good idea?

Hello,
I currently live in the Netherlands, a small country next to Germany. In about 2 years I will go to college and will need a laptop. As I'm going to an industrial designers Academy I am going to need a laptop with quite some graphic capabilities. Apple intermediately invaded my mind with their super laptops, the mac book pro in particular. Now my question is if it's a good idea to buy the mac book pro 15" in the US? From what I've heard I won't have any repair warranty for in the Netherlands. But is this a big issue? I don't know if the mac book pro brings a lot of issues with it because it will be my first apple computer. I only have experience with apple through my ipod touch 1st gen. Whenever I had problems with that I just went to the internet and found an answer there to my problem.
It is a big difference if I buy it in the Netherlands or in the US because the price differs from the dutch price 2100 euro's (3108 dollars) for the mac book pro 2.8 GHz and in the US 2300 dollars (1554.05 euro's).
That differs 808 dollars or 545.95 euro's.
So does the mac book pro have some problems and are these easily fixable by yourself with a little internet help?
So what will it be?
buying in the Netherlands with a higher price but a active warranty. so with lower risk of a unsolvable problem?
or buying in the US with a much lower price but a chance on unsolvable problems?
please help me and give arguments.
thank you.

Hi and welcome to both these forums and when you arrive to the United States. Your question concerning the warranty should be addressed to Apple Support just to make sure, but I would agree that wherever you purchase your Macintosh the warranty should be world wide. Considering the price difference I'd recommend the US. I suspect the difference in price has more to do with EuroUnion VATs than anything else. We don't have VATs here in the states, though you'll have to pay any local sales taxes (I know, the difference escapes me). Though once you're here buying online often avoids even that tax. In the US taxation is largely voluntary (ok ok, think about it). That means if you order online from a company in California and have the item delivered in, say, Indiana the California company will inform you that you have to pay Indiana sales tax on the item, but will not collect it at the time of sale. The burden of paying the tax is upon you, voluntarily submitting the tax to the Indiana Dept of Revenue. While some states are really trying to tighten this up it is still very common practice to simply not pay the local sales tax as no one is tracking this information. This sort of thing relates to the unique relationship between the Federal government and those of the individual, nearly sovereign, states.
Now as for the MBP I contend you cannot buy a more solid, reliable, fast laptop, period. Firstly, Apple is the number one computer company in consumer satisfaction. AppleCare is worth it. I've had several experiences personally and with friends and family with Apple's warranty fulfillment and it is totally awesome. The MBP itself is state of the art, sleek, and the best industrial design out there (OK Sony comes close, but no one else does). The OS is virus free and very easy to use. You can run Mac OS X, Linux, Unix, and Windows of any flavor, so if you absolutely have to use some vertical market Windows based program it's easy as pie to launch bootcamp or other VM OS and you're in windows.
I got my first Mac back in '86 and haven't even considered another OS (I did have a PowerComputing clone for a while and frankly even then Apple was better built). The average PC lasts about 2.5 yrs. The average Macintosh about 4.5 years, more than enough to get you through college.
Keep hitting these forums as you'll find a wealth of information and thousands of helpful hands.

I want to use a fantom diamond as an external hard drive for my mac, is this a good idea?

Using a Macbook pro, with Snow Leopard (I think), and my memory is full so I want to store my stuff on an external hard drive. I found a 2T Fantom Diamond EHD, but I'm now learning that I have to convert to NTFS-3g. I'm not computer savy so I want to know if this is a good idea, or should I look for something different. Also, can I set up the EHD as the default path for itunes?

This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have Mac HFS.
If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?

Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
http://www.macsales.com/firewire has a lot of choice in Mac compatible drives and enclosures so you don't need to worry about Fantom not working at some point.
