Are passive 3D TVs better? Does anyone here own a LG passive 3D TV?

So I still havent' bought my 3D TV.. but I decided to pay a little bit more and get a new one just to be safe.
But I still can't decide which one to buy. I've been reading a lot of forums and reviews...
It seems like a lot of people are shifting towards passive 3D TVs and specifically LG 3D TV because they ranked #1 on consumer report.
I also read on cnet an article about passive 3D TVs being better than active 3D TVs in both comfort and image quality...
It said that passive 3D TVs have brighter images, sharper images, less flickers, more depth, etc and said that LG Cinema 3Ds have the least flickers and crosstalks.
But there are still a couple people on forums who say active 3D TVs are better so I really can't decide which one is better.
Does anyone own a LG passive 3D TV? Can you tell me what the pros and cons are?
Thanks
Marnie

Basically, there is no way to do 3D without giving each eye only half of what the TV can display.
Active shutter-glasses based 3D TVs do this by splitting time in half - each eye gets half the time. In the past this caused flicker because it halved refresh rate from 60 Hz to 30 Hz. Fortunately, as LCD technology has improved, it has been easier and easier to crank up the refresh rate of TVs - with 120 Hz refresh rates readily available, halving this only dropped you to 60 Hz.
Passive glassis do it by splitting space in half - each eye sees half of the image elements of the screen.
It turns out it's a LOT easier to double refresh rate than it is to double resolution.
Note: Projection systems are a bit different, these can achieve passive 3D without any compromise, as in these systems, you can use two separate projectors, each with a polarizing filter. The two full-resolution images are overlaid together on the screen, right on top of each other. This is not possible with any direct-view approach. I think some projector systems behave similar to shutter-glasses, except with a switchable polarizer on the projector - e.g. the "shuttering" is done in the projector. It's a lot easier to have a small switchable polarizer in the optical path of a projector than one which covers the entire screen of a TV.

Does anyone here own the MSI P6N SLI V2?

I'm thinkin about getting this board for a budget rig (E4300/2GB RAM/7900GS), but I havent heard anything about it yet. So I dont know whether it has any overclocking options in the BIOS or not. Its cheaper than the FI, and has one more PCI-E 1x slot. Doesnt come with Firewire though, but I dont need that. The layout is pretty clean, even thouth the Floppy controller is in a horrible position.
So is anyone here running the thing succesfully? Any links to user experiences in forums or reviews would be appreciated too of course.

it's surely 4 layer PCB. you can see there are ample area for voltage rails on the board. Good delivery of 5V, 3.3V, 12V to the entire board. I would expect stable overclocking too.

Steadicam, does anyone here use one?

I was looking at a particular videographers work and niced he had extremely stead video and was obviously using a steadicam (of some type).
Does anyone here have one? Is it worth the hassle? Does it look, just, too awful in a wedding scenario?

You may find getting in and out of the vest / arm a little tedious at a wedding shoot. An option is the Steadicam Merlin which is handheld, a vest and arm are about to be released (or have just been released) to suit the Merlin and you could bye this at a later date. It's nice to have the option though of going without the vest and arm. Be aware though that long shots can be quite strenuous using these small handheld rigs.
Tip, if you do decide to purchase a vest mounted version and you usually wear a formal jacket when working weddings, wear the vest under your jacket.
You may also like to do a workshop before you buy. This will give you some idea about whether it's worth buying and if it is you'll learn a lot. If not you haven't bought an item you can't use and you have the experience to rent and use one on special occasions.

Does anyone here use Network Solutions? (shared hosting)

I've been attempting to link to my mySQL database through the Dreamweaver interface for the purpose of writing web-based applications. I consistently get an error that indicates that some problem exists but is not specific. A colleague suggested that permission set on the mySQL server might not allow REMOTE accept to the database schema. I called Network Solutions and got a somewhat tenuous reply that perhaps their shared hosting services won't allow me to use Dreamweaver in this fashion.
Does anyone here actually use Network Solutions (in other than a VPS-mode) and is successful in connecting to their mySQL database?
(NOTE: I am able to get the phpMyAdmin application running on the Network Solutions server to connect and display the contents of the database. But the mySQL GUI applications connect and give some information but to date have not allowed me to the see the full extent of the databse information the way phpMyAdmin does.)
Any suggestions for which ISPs do allow a successful connection would be appreciated. I am told too that many folks run a local version of PHP/mySQL on their Macs (which is what I am using) and do their work locally. Has this been the predominate mode of working for most of you?

generally most people use a local testing server to do their work. the easiest way to do this on your mac is MAMP. http://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/index.html
Although macs do come ready to support php/mysql, it will make you're life much easier using mamp. simply start it up and apache php mysql are all ready to rock. test your pages in the htdocs folder and connect to mysql using the localhost connection (and make sure you pay attention to the ports... use 3306 if confusion sets in).
as for connecting remotely to a database, yes it can be done... i do it all the time with my hosting (that is not NS), and you're have to do it that way if you're working on a sql server database / asp from your mac. but for now, i'd just work locally.

Does anyone here use PathFinder?

I'm not sure I spelled that right. I think it's just Path Finder. It's a substitute program for Finder. Does anyone here use it and how do you like it?

I use it if I have large amounts of File Management to do. Biggest advantages for me:
The Shelf
Tabbed Windows
But there are literally hundreds of bells and whistles on there. You can customise the look a million ways too.
But for most of the time the Finder is fine.
You can download a trial of PathFinder and try it out, you know.

Does anyone here use a Novation Nocturn with Logic 8?

Hi there!
Does anyone here have a Novation Nocturn and use Logic 8?
If so, how am i supposed to get Logic to record the modulation from the Nocturn? I've written a synth line using an automapped instance of V-Station and when I play it back it will respond to changes (e.g. opening the filter) from the Nocturn. Then I arm the track and record whilst moving the Nocturn's knobs....again, i can hear the changes, but when i play it back none of the modulation has been recorded.
Logic must be receiving some sort of data because, when recording, it'll start drawing a box on the event window as a twiddle the knobs....but this just vanishes after I press stop.
Any ideas? The Nocturn seems like a great piece of kit, but it's completely useless to me unless I can record modulation from it.
Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video?

Good morning,
Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video in Garageband. I have been looking around at the different sounds and music in Garageband but I have not been able to find anything that would go with the video.
Here is an example of a Tai chi video if you were wondering
http://youtu.be/a6pJf2otwv8
I want to create something like this for a video I did for a fitness gym for a Yoga instructor and Tai Chi instructor.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Brandon,
you will not have to do any importing in GarageBand. Intalling Mainstage will extent GarageBands Loop Library and Instruments Library.
After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
For example:

I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents etc. from my Macbook Pro, but now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I recently purchased an iMac and transferred all of my documents, photos etc. from my Macbook Pro. Everything seemed fine until I opened iPhoto and now it seems as if some of my photos are distorted and squished. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

How did you move your iPhoto Library from the old Mac to your new one?
Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Does anyone here knows how to create a login page thru JDBC?

Anyone here knows how to create a login page which connect to database thru JDBC but not JDBC-ODBC bridge?

Hi..pls you'll do people here a great good if you could explain yourself better..!
Anyway if you are trying to connect to an Oracle Database you dont need the jdbc-odbc bridge as oracle provides a special driver for java applets/applications that is "the thin driver" and the "oci driver"..so if you are connecting to Oracle your connection will look like this:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); //not sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection ("blah blah, blah");
no need for the jdbc-odbc bridge.
I hope i've answered your question.
Thanks.

Does anyone here know anything about parental controls?

Hey guys! I am an incoming college student, so I recently purchased a shiny new Macbook Pro (which I love!). However, i have an issue. My mother is something of a paranoid android, and wants to install some kind of parental controls. While I really don't mind having them, I have had issues with them being overly strict and blocking completely appropriate content in the past. Does anyone know of a filter that is unobstrusive but effective that I can install? Any assistance is appreciated!
I use Firefox, if that helps

There are few third party solutions for this. Try and persuade her to tick an option where it does not block any websites, but it will still log and anything you visit and this log cannot be deleted or modified. It even logs when you are in private browsing! However it is really very simple to overide parental controls.
I have had experience of this as my mum tried to do the exact same thing!

Does anyone here use Asian (Chinese/Korean) inputs & outputs with sharing?

Hello.
Does anyone in here read, write/type, and print Chinese and Korean documents, e-mails, and Web pages and use software that use asian characters in datas)?
In Windows, one can use MS IME -- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/ime/default.mspx -- and TwinBridge software (mostly for programs that can't display asian characters correctly like in Palm software with asian datas from Palm Pilot and Treo--CJKOS; TwinBridge said they don't do Apple Mac OS X).
From what I researched online, http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/osx5.html (latest version) and http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/input_methods.html show their installations looking similiar to Windows 2000 and newer, but using it seems different. Has anyone had experiences with these? I hope it is compatible with old and others' (especially Windows users) Office documents (mostly Word and PowerPoint), e-mails, and Web pages.
Thank you in advance.

Lots of people use OS X for Chinese data exhange all the time without problems. You might want to post your specific questions on the chinese-mac mailing list, where you will have a better chance of reaching people with more experience in these issues:

My itunes music playlists are no longer showing. Does anyone know why?

I opened my iTunes today & found that all of my playlists are gone. I uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Is the sidebar hidden? CTRL+S should reveal it.
Otherwise see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Has or does anyone here use SoulSeek to get their mus

I was recommended this site to get mp3s from, but I am afraid to get viruses from it. It says its ad free and spyware free, but I still dont trust a site thats free. Does anyone have experience with it's

mrchainsaw,
While the P2P software in itself isn't illegal, using it to download copyrighted music is illegal so such discussion is not allowed in the forum. There are lots of pay site for online music that you can consider to look at though.
