Are Lion gestures a significant improvment over Trackpad+Snowleopard

I have a magic trackpad with snow leopard for my iMac. The trackpad is brilliant and allows me to use gestures. Does Lion add significantly to that experience (mainly, the use of gestures)? I will eventually upgrade but I was wondering if I am missing out big time in the meanwhile.

Nevermind. A lttile digging and find out that the Magic Mouse has a limited set of multi-touch capabilities:

It appears the Magic Trackpad has the full set of capabilities:

Would a 200$ video card be a significant improvement over Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip?

Hi I've been using the build-in graphics processor on my motherboard since building my desktop computer 2 years ago. I never felt a need to upgrade. The only thing I notice is that sometimes when I play high-res video in Windows Media Player, it takes a while for the image to appear clearly and non -pixelated. Could this be because I don't have a video card installed? I wouldn't pay 200$ to solve this issue but I am curious to know if a video card in that price range would significantly speed up performance in the Adobe applications? Or do I need to spend much more money on a video card to make it worth the upgrade?
Lookin forward to your answers...

>video in Windows Media Player
Since that has nothing to do with Adobe, I don't know how to answer your question
But, two links that should help
Read about a balanced system at Tweakers Page (as well as the other articles)

My Magic Trackpad won't do all the Lion gestures.

I can do Swipe between pages and Show Desktop and Launchpad, but not Mission Control or App Expose. All gestures work on the MB Air 13, but not on the Magic Trackpad. Any ideas?

I have a similar problem. The zooming in/out does not work, or is very slow on my iMac 2010.
In preferences all is checked. The swiping of pages is not working.
And comparing with my iPad, the gestures on on my magic trackpad are very poor indeed!
Not what I expected.

Could this be caused by Lion?

Lion Gesture Cheat Sheet

I just wanted to share this sheet with new users to Lion who are confused and/or frusttrated. I printed this sheet out and had it on my desk for a few days until I got the hang of it. Now Im absolutrely loving this Lion upgrade, it's amazing to use, esp. with a magic trackpad!

A suggestion: Please mention the oracle version numbers where these commands are applicable.

What are the gestures for switching tabs in safari

Subject says it: are there gestures for switching tabs in Safari under Lion? (I'm using a MacBook Air.)
Thanks.

bring your pointing and index finger together to swipe tabs
Kind of cool, but I think I'd like to just be able to move them with one gesture.

Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions?

Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions? Is advisable to have separate tables than having a single big table with partitions? Can we expect same performance having single big table with partitions? What is the recommendation approach in HANA?

Suren,
first off a friendly reminder: SCN is a public forum and for you as an SAP employee there are multiple internal forums/communities/JAM groups available. You may want to consider this.
Concerning your question:
You didn't tell us what you want to do with your table or your set of tables.
As tables are not only storage units but usually bear semantics - read: if data is stored in one table it means something else than the same data in a different table - partitioned tables cannot simply be substituted by multiple tables.
Looked at it on a storage technology level, table partitions are practically the same as tables. Each partition has got its own delta store & can be loaded and displaced to/from memory independent from the others.
Generally speaking there shouldn't be too many performance differences between a partitioned table and multiple tables.
However, when dealing with partitioned tables, the additional step of determining the partition to work on is always required. If computing the result of the partitioning function takes a major share in your total runtime (which is unlikely) then partitioned tables could have a negative performance impact.
Having said this: as with all performance related questions, to get a conclusive answer you need to measure the times required for both alternatives.

I am trying to install Lion OS X 10.7 over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I am trying to install Lion OS X 10.7 over Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I get an error message: "There are currently other logged in users, who must be logged out before you install Mac OS X".
I switch to log out other users and deleted everyone listed. It still says: ....
There is no one else left; I don't know what to do now.

I don't know what you mean by "I switch to log out other users and deleted everyone listed" -- if other user accounts are on your Mac you just need to log them out, not delete anything -- but it may be that there are other user accounts you aren't aware of on the Mac.
Are you an admin user? Did you originally set up this Mac?

Would a 256 GB SSD on a 2012 Mac Mini significantly improve Final Cut Pro X Performance?

Would a 256 GB SSD on a 2012 Mac Mini significantly improve Final Cut Pro X Performance?
I'm considering a 2012 Mac Mini 2.6 Quad Core with 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD with external Thunderbolt drives.
I understand that Mavericks allocates 1GB VRAM from system memory in a 2012 Mini with 8GB RAM.

It will only improve the read and write performance, and this is not as important as the processor and the GPU in Final Cut Pro.
The Mac mini has got an integrated GPU that may work if you are a home user, but if you are a professional user, you should consider an iMac, a 15-inch MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro. You won't notice a big performance increase

Suggestion: Improved "Accidental Trackpad Input"

I never had a problem with the trackpad on my PowerBook G3/Firewire, but when I got the 15" PowerBook G4 (hi-res), text editing became extremely frustrating.
I like using the trackpad tapping for clicking, so I have that enabled, but the new trackpad is just too close to my hands when I type, so I get "accidental taps" all over the place while typing.
Of course the OS has the "ignore accidental trackpad input" setting and enabling it has saved my sanity as far as text editing is concerned. Unfortunately I find that it does a little bit too much, in that it pretty much ignores the trackpad as long as you are typing.
I found the SideTrack trackpad driver and tried it for a few minutes. Setting the top left and right corners to do nothing on taps proved to be a perfect solution for ignoring accidental taps in those areas. The only downside to this trackpad driver is that it doesn't know how to do two-finger scrolling, which I have come to like very much. The author of SideTrack is investigating the possibility of implementing two-finger scrolling and I would love to pay the shareware fee once that feature is also working.
Meanwhile, I'm wondering if it would be possible for Apple to implement something like "ignore the top left and right corners of the trackpad for tapping" option in the standard driver?

the cursor jumps everywhere
Hmm... In fact, the cursor doesn't jump everywhere. When it jumps, it jumps to a specific, predictable place: it moves to the exact spot in the text where you last left your trackpad/mouse pointer.
When you are typing and you use the trackpad (or a mouse) to move the cursor, make sure to move the trackpad/mouse pointer either out of or below the text field within which you are working so that when you do brush the trackpad the trackpad pointer will move either to the end of a line or to the end of the text field.
I would also suggest that you look into a replacement trackpad driver called SideTrack. In the SideTrack preference pane in System Preferences, there is a filtering feature called 'Ignore trackpad while typing,' which is much more useful than the PB's 'Ignore accidental trackpad input.' This filter is adjusted with a slider that enables you to set the duration of trackpad filtering that occurs after each keystroke. You can set the slider to anywhere between 200 ms and 2 seconds. (SideTrack adds quite a few additional features to the trackpad, as well: corner taps to perform software actions and/or actions that you normally would only be able to perform with a six button mouse; vertical and horizontal scrolling on the trackpad's edges,and more. Definitely worth the $15 shareware fee.)
Good luck.

I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....

CS 4 is not supported under Windows 8. There are bound to be problems with several programs. You will have more problems with 64-bit Windows 8 than the 32-bit version. I know for certain that you will have issues with Acrobat.

Employees who are 21 years of age or over AND work 35 hours or more a week

Hi,
I need to extract the employee details who are 21 years of age or over AND work 35 hours or more a week.
Where can i find the weekly working hours?

Thanks Yuvraj....
I queried as below to find the working hours..(in my instance HXT_TIMECARDS table is null)
SELECT COUNT (ppf2.person_id)
FROM per_all_people_f ppf2,
per_all_assignments_f paaf2,
pay_all_payrolls_f pay2
WHERE TRUNC ((SYSDATE - (ppf2.date_of_birth)) / 365) > 21
AND ppf2.business_group_id = 1646
AND ppf2.person_id = paaf2.person_id
AND ppf2.business_group_id = paaf2.business_group_id
AND paaf2.frequency = 'W'
AND paaf2.normal_hours > 35
AND TRUNC (SYSDATE) BETWEEN ppf2.effective_start_date
AND ppf2.effective_end_date
AND TRUNC (SYSDATE) BETWEEN paaf2.effective_start_date
AND paaf2.effective_end_date
AND ppf2.business_group_id = pay2.business_group_id
AND pay2.payroll_id = paaf2.payroll_id
AND TO_DATE (:p_date, 'DD_MON-YYYY') BETWEEN pay2.effective_start_date
AND pay2.effective_end_date
Actually my business requirement z to find count of employees who are 21 years of age or over AND work 35 hours or more a week and i need to use d parameter 'reporting dtae' Reporting date is used to determine the payroll period date..
so i passed d parameter b/w effe.strtdate nd eff.end dt of payroll table is that right?
Thanks,
Vijay

What channels are added in getting HD Extrememe over the channels in TV Essentials?

What channels are added in getting HD Extrememe over the channels in TV Essentials. Is there a coherent and specific list of the channels added anywhere? I surfed the Verizon website and materials and only got frustrated.

Go to: http://www22.verizon.com/Residential/FiOSTV/ChannelLineup/ChannelLineup.htm?zipCode=15102
Once there, type in your zip code and select your appropriate county. From there, you can click on "Essentials Plan," see what is offered there, and then click on "Extreme HD Plan," and compare the different channels.
Hope this helps.
Give Kudos to those who deserve.
