Are you happy with Java Applets?

Are you happy with deploying your Forms to the Web as Java Applets? What kind of issues did you run into? Did you go the Java Applet deployment route for the lack of an easier/faster option? Wouldn't you prefer to deploy your forms as standard JSP pages? I really appreciate your feedback.
Ali

Ali,
I wished things were as easy as black and white. It depends on what kind of application your are building. Is it busineess to business, business to customer, an Internet application or a heavily used internal application with high transaction volumes.
There are a lot of application types that I, as a Forms Product Manager, wouldn't encourage you to use Forms for. Keeping in mind the memory footprint onthe server, the JInitiator plug in and the download time, self service applications that are of short term use definitively are not what Forms is made for.
On the other side, JSP still requires a back end because its an interface technology and according to the MVC paradigm the view shouldn't have business logic in it. So you can use EJBs or Oracle's Business Components for Java to build the backbone of your application. In either way you are stepping out of the JSP case.
There is a reason for all different interface types to exist: Use Java Applet for what they are good for and the Forms design and intended usage really goes in line with that. Please have a look at this Whitepaper for a good insight in the subject of Forms and J2EE technologies

Are you happy with your Galaxy S5? I'm looking for a new phone.

Are you happy with you Galaxy S5? I'm looking for a new phone.

Very happy after getting it to stop keeping the display lit after charging completes. Battery life blows my Galaxy Nexus out of the water. The GNex was like an electric car with a 30 mile range. Always looking for a charge. The S5's screen is gorgeous. OLED is a must-have for me. Signal strength is better than the GNex and the S5 is XLTE-ready so you can get faster speeds in those markets. I got 69.08/18.95 in Kansas City back in May. Other XLTE areas have had download speeds of high 20s to low 30s. Performance is good. The interface feels smooth and responsive. I even like the look. It's like something out of a 50s diner.
My only real gripe is the storage. 16 gigs is pretty sad these days and only 10 gigs are available. I know you can add a 128 gig card (I have) but few apps load completely to the card. Heck, lots of apps won't put anything on the card. A flagship phone should have 32 and 64 gig options.
I also wish I could just load the bare OS and skip all the bells and whistles that Samsung's added.

Are you happy with your Touch?

I am looking at an iPod Touch since I really don't need an iPhone.
Right now I am using a Palm Pilot and I like it.
Has anyone made a switch from the Palm Pilot to a Touch?
Are you happy with it?
Thanks,
Fred

I've owned a lot of electronics and feel the Touch is the coolest of them all. Now that I've got a MiFi I can listen to Pandora pretty much anywhere, on my TOuch. We just drove from San Jose to LA and had Pandora on the entire time, in the car. Very awesome. There is an app for just about anything imaginable with many of them being free. While the screen doesn't have the gorgeous blacks and color of the BB Storm, it's still cool to watch movies on the Touch, play various games, view the internet, and on and on. My wife and I both use our Touchs every day and by plugging in to recharge when the indicator shows about 1/2 charge, we don't run out of juice to use them to our heart's content. Highly recommended. You can even straighten pictures on the wall with a Touch!

Are you happy with version 10 + XP

Itunes just refused to upload the last Santana CD if i did not upgrade my old v8 to v10; it probably will do the same for every recent cd...so there is an issue here.
Since i had to go back from v9 to V8 cause 9 just did not work on my pc, i do not feel confident about upgrading to 10 now...
are you happy with V10 + XP? (one that cannot afford buying a mac...)
Carlus

i have version 10 in one pc and version 8 in another; when i import the very same CD, version 8 goes to gracenote and finds all the song names + cd cover, and version 10 does not...version 9 hI believe apple is growing too fast and becoming like windows...with false improovements, bugs, and so on; i was going to buy an apple computer but i changed my mind ans i won't.

Are you happy with you Z

I have a ZVM and i really like it. Best mp3 player i ever had.
Are you Happy with your zen? If not what would you rather have?

i love my ZVM. However, i like the way my Nomad Jukebox2 is view'd in MediaSource Organizer better. Also the fact that they let you figure out how to use the ZVM. There is no detailed instructions on how all the functions work.

Are you happy with the new Unibody 2.0 Macbook?

Hi There,
I have been a Windows user(not by choice) for the last, well, ever since I can remember. But after buying the iphone 3g am a mac fan. I have also seen the demo of the new unibody 2.0 macbook and have been hooked on to that. So after reading all issues reported on this forum, just wanted to ask owners as to what their experience has been and are they happy with the $1299 macbook? MY usage is mainly for internet, songs, videos and probably have to install XP to run a few of my oracle applications. But mainly want to use the mac OS. I am not into gaming so thats not really a concern. Also, any major disadvantages or problems that you have. I dont need firewire so thats not an issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Cheers guys!

I've been an Apple Laptop user since the Clamshells, and have adored most of them. This is the best one yet so far as I'm concerned. I am delighted, amazed, and in love! It's strong and solid, yet lighter than the plastic ones before it. Has all that I expect from a beautiful screen, responsive keyboard, and it's smooth-as-glass trackpad. This is a marvelous machine and I'm very, very happy with it.
Oh, and Ziatron there always posts on these threads about the firewire. He is correct that the Aluminum Macbook lacks firewire. The plastic has it, and so does the Macbook pro. So if that's an issue for you, then you need to think on that. However, the lack of firewire on the Macbook is Ziatron's particular hobby horse. A lot of us, myself included, have found it to be a non-issue. I've had this MacBook since the day they brought the new ones out and have not yet needed to plug in one thing that required firewire. I don't even know it's missing.

Trying to decide 9650 or Samsung Facinate, are you happy with your BB?

Hi,
I am going to get my upgrade, and getting my first smartphone. I will be using for email, txt, phone, and a little web. Are you guys happy with the blackberry, or is it getting out dated and I should move to the driod platform? Was looking at the 9650.
Help

BlackBerry cannot be beat for instant email, texting (the Bold keyboard is amazing), call quality and battery life. Do you have friends with BlackBerrys? You can use BB Messenger to chat with them. In fairness, other smartphone platforms have instant messaging as well, but BBM is just easy and always connected, and you can see when someone has read your message (not sure if others offer this feature). And a big plus for me is I can stick a BB in my pocket and not worry about the screen cracking or scratching.
I wouldn't worry about the platform being outdated. RIM is still a strong contender because BlackBerrys just work the way they're supposed to. Get what's right for you, because these opinions constantly change. I still see lots of "Back to BlackBerry" threads.
Since you said "a little web," I think the Bold might be a good choice for you. If you were into heavy browsing, watching videos, or loading up on free apps and games, I'd say check out the Fascinate. If you want fun, innovative stuff that looks amazing onscreen, BB is not known for that.
As a previous poster said, try out both devices in a store. It's the best way to know. Good luck deciding!

Are you happy with ipod touch

I was going to get an iphone for Christmas. It turns out the monthly cost is too expensive considering I rarely use my phone. I have my imac desktop. Could I get rid of my PC notebook if I got the touch? I only use the notebook for browsing Craigslist and my forums. Stick to my imac for my photography. I have heard rumours of a new itablet coming out. Should I wait or would I be happy with the touch. I love new toys!!! Thanks everyone.
Shari

the ipod touch is a magnificent toy, i have never regretted buying it. (in fact i am now on my second ipod touch, having upgraded to the third generation from the first in september).
but just to clarify your particular circumstances: why do you use the notebook when you have a desktop? this will help us to tell you whether it is an adequate replacement.
in my experience, browsing internet forums on the ipod isn't a great experience - mostly due to the size of the screen, unless the forum has a mobile version. while viewing full size webpages is possible on the ipod touch, it can be awkward to navigate round sites (it's great that you can access them, but it's still no replacement for a larger screen.)
as for craigslist - if i remember correctly, there is an app which you can download for craigslist. this is the other option with the ipod touch - increasingly, companies are bringing out their own apps which are tailor made to their particular website, making them a lot easier to use.

Brushed metal? you seem to talk about another laptop.
I'm happy with my W510 after having memory module problems that i solved, the screen is great FHD and it's fast and built like a tank.
It is an old fashion conservative laptop, it's not for everyone, but you get what you pay for.
However i do feel Lenovo shouldn't have added USB3 ports to the laptop as they are not supported by BIOS at boot, also i think most manufacturers should drop Displayport as HDMI is standard on all projectors and TVs these days.

Are you happy with your N97? (Psychomania where ar...

Are you guys happy with your N97s? Do you have major problems with it? (I have heard some issues such as connections to internet without user authorization and can't be turned off, do you have that?)
What about the white one? Do you think white one will be a dirt magnet? Any dirt problems with white one?
Thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I cannot say that I am happy with my N97. i am returning to Nokia after many years using palm products, treo 600, Treo 650 and finally a Treo Centro. The principal reason for the change is that Treo don't do 3G and I needed a phone that i could use as a modem for my lappy when out and about and, quite basically EDGE does not cut it. So I have ben running a Centro fully loaded with apps for everything, editing, audio and video playback, turn by turn navigation with TomTom and an external GPS, audible audio books, lock down password app email and web. All solid reliable and verything synced with my mac and goosync. The whole lot cost about 320 quid. So I wanted a keyboard that put iPhone in the bin as well as its rather restricted availability. N97 looked like the real deal ut am I glad I got it as a vodafone upgrade rather than buy it myself!
problems so far:
1No real sync with Macs
2random lock up at end of call initiated from screenswwipe particularly if other app is running such as music
3persistent problems trying to get contacts onto the phone, it would not sync with anyy service, google, OVI ,goosync , OVI suite on PC, eventually yesterday I got a sync with PC suite after doing a factory reset so I now have contacts in the phone but do not have a reliable sync to update them or remote backup. The contacts app is also **bleep**. No findduplicates, totally unclear search that is not at all quick compared to the Centro
4 sat nav poor compared to tom tom, maps ( yes the latest ones) are at least 18 months out of date with road construction, search frequently fails to resolve destinations from downloaded maps or over the air and today dumped me 5 miles off target due to a bad postcode search!
5 random bugginess. this is occasional incorrect screen updates, failure to stop displaying nag messages in maps application and on many internet connected sites after you press the buton or tick the box not to be shown them again.
6 that side switch! absolutely useless. can't use it if phone is in car cradle. had to put nUnlock on this does work most of the time but not always, depends on what app is on screen when it switches off the lights
7 battery life absolute rubbish if you are using sat nav or playing music and probably using wifi. Also intermittent failure to charge from either the Nokia power adapter or a usb connection with a laptop, very annoying if you have left it charging overnight and you are travellin all the next day
8 could use a decent agenda view for the day like every other calendar app
9 phone, why does it sometimes use nokia tune insead of the ringtone set in the profile? no contacts have associated tone and this frequently happens when no caller ID is sent by the caller
10 essential apps that I have to pay extra for, PDF reader for goodness sake! free on every other platform! quick office, Functional docs to go free with treo!
11 generally poor and inconsistent user interface, though that may just be in comparison with mac and palm OS, did symbian hire ex microsoft programmers
To be honest I thought that symbian would be more polisshed than palm OS which is very many years older and runs on tiny processers and ram how wrong I was.

Are you happy with panel 9c9e on the mbp 13"?

Hi,
Just want to know if there is anyone elese that is happy with the infamous panael 9c9e on the macbook pro 13" . I've read a lot of posts about it but when i look att my screen I can't see the things I'm supposed to see - blue gets purple and all washed out colors. I just can see a bright and nice looking screen with accurate colors. What's wrong with me?

I upgraded from a unibody macbook to the new macbook pro with the 9C9E and can tell you that the screen is definitely better quality, but there are a few instances where I do notice that some blues go purple. It's not half as bad as people make it out to be, or maybe I just got lucky. I don't see neon yellow, or feel like I'm living in a purple wonderland; it's more like royal blue...google links are royal bluish/purple, the top bar is definitely royal blue (like if you click the apple logo) and craigslist looks a little purplish. This is all after calibrating multiple times. What I DO really notice is that scrolling down on a google search or other page does a weird graphic stuttering that my "old" unibody Macbook didn't do, as well as the display just not being as bright (I'd say about 70% as bright as the macbook was).
Honestly, I've had it for almost a week and a half and I'm undecided about whether or not I want to try and return it, since I got a refurb...and I'm getting more and more convinced that this is the type of thing that leads to madness in the long term. You could obsess about this stuff all day, and as you can tell by doing a google search, some people are.

Are you happy with your X1900 XT video card?

I'm considering upgrading to an X1900 XT for use with FCP6.

Are FCP users generally happy with this card? Maybe the problem is only with gamers?
How long have you been using the card (seems like problems can take months to show up).
Have you added 3rd party cooling to resolve issues with heat and noise?
http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=90
I'm gathering that the ATI card is best for Color - that many of the features in FCP take more advantage of the ATI card and Nvidia. Is this true?
Thanks!

I'm ABSOLUTELY happy with X1900 and I have been recommending it a few times.
Many people are happy with it and recommend it.
Yes, if you use Motion and Color this card is essential.
Hope this helps!

Are you happy with HDV's quality?

nevermind the rendering issues and such......but I am wondering if you guys think Sony, JVC, and the rest of the boys did a good job with this new format. do you think HDV should look clearer or sharper? Have more color? I know tapes limit this, but like I said.....I'm just askin.
Many thanks,
Brian

Depends on what you're using it for...
It is higher resolution, so it does look clearer and sharper than DV.
It uses 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, so it doesn't have any "more color" since the information in the chrominance channels is reduced to about a quarter of the info in the luminance channel, much like the 4:1:1 subsampling of DV (except in 2x2 blocks instead of 4x1).
This leads to the similar problems as SD DV footage has when you try to pull a key or do secondary color corrections - you get juddery keys and artifacts. Even when I've tried work-arounds as suggested in the Apple Pro Training Series book "Encyclopedia of Visual Effects", such as changing the color space and blurring the chrominance channels, I still get judders and artifacts when I burn my projects to HD-DVD. However, I've found that when I downconvert to SD these artifacts are barely noticeable. That's not too comforting though, I'd rather not have to downconvert to SD to watch my HD projects... kind of defeats the purpose of shooting in HD.
However, I've done a few commercials with a Canon XL H1 and just edited the HDV (from tape) natively in FCP 6 with no major issues, but since the XL H1 has HD-SDI out I'm looking into getting a Kona card in the near future so that I'll be able to capture with less compression on the chrominance channels. And hopefully this will lead to better keys and color correction options.
So, I would say that if you're just doing straight shooting - say, a documentary or a basic commercial shoot or a video without a lot of green screen and whatnot, HDV isn't bad for the price. And if you've got the money to invest in the additional equipment and/or software needed to get the most out of HDV footage (to help you cope with and work around its limitations), then it's definitely worth working with. It's caused me quite a few headaches so far, but I think I still prefer it to DV overall.

For those who bought the matte screen option, are you happy with it?

Hello,
I'm planning on getting a new Macbook Pro 15" and wanted to know if those who have the matte screen option are happy with it? Cosmetically does it look bad?
Wondering whether to get the matte option or just buy one with the glossy screen and then buy an anti glare cover to go over it? The laptop I'm used to is my sister's older Powerbook which is matte but lately I'm always on her white Macbook which is glossy. I know when I've used it outdoors it's a pain and if I watch TV shows on it I have to adjust the screen to see it just right.
So I thought I'd get others opinions. I don't have to have matte for work or anything but it's just my preference glare wise.

I have a pair of 17" MBP's, the one from last year in glossy, and the new one (i7 2010 model) in matte. The main reason I got the matte is because that was the only 17" i7's that were in stock at the Apple Store...I've never had a very strong opinion gloss vs. matte.
After close to a week, my eyes are liking the matte screen better. I also think the overall quality of the display is better...maybe my new one has a higher-quality panel than what my 2009 MBP has. Neither of them look "bad", but the I definitely enjoy looking at the images on the matte screen more. Also losing most of the reflections from the keyboard lighting is very nice in certain situations.
I believe the matte screen makes the lid overall slightly less rigid. People who do careless stuff like opening/adjusting the lid by grabbing it from near one of the corners might find it easier to damage the matte screen that way.

How does your portal's content management work? Are you happy with it?

It would be great if there was some sharing of how people have configured their content and document management through the portal, and how happy they are. I'm assuming almost everyone is on Publisher and Collab, but do you use them in a special way? Anything customized?
I'm currently looking for ways to make our system more flexible and easier to create new content areas. Also, uploading documents is a huge pain.
Html Content: Publisher
Customizations:
We include edit pencils at the top of each content item visible for people with edit access to the community.
FCKeditor instead of default rich text editor, with image upload
links to KD cards and community pages are transformed into adaptive tags on save
Issues
There is clear separation between what a 'content editor' and a 'community manager' is able to create. Any creation of new portlets or changing of anything falls on the community manager. Content editor feels very restricted as they only have control over what is inside the boxes, and can't create new 'pages'. This leads to stale content.
Documents: Collaboration
We use collab for documents because we want to be able to publish different versions of the same doc to the KD, without breaking any links that we have created to that existing document. We use snapshot queries sometimes to display documents, but more ofthen than not we just use a KD picker to display a single document, and this means we need to be able to update the card without breaking the link.
Issues
Training users to go to collab to upload documents is not easy, and then publishing is difficult as well. There is no multi-document publish. Publishing sometimes fails and times out, and the document can be deleted from collab and still exist in the KD. Also, custom properties that we add to cards in the KD seem to vanish, but hopefully upgrading to the latest versions will help.
I'd like to investigate creating helper functions to make the job of uploading documents to the correct folder in collab easier. The tool would upload to the right folder, and then publish to the KD if necessary.

Very good thread!
We are using publisher for web content as well as documents.
The documents are crawled into the KD using the publisher crawler, and we use a "link to document" custom button that build automatically the PT:Tag link to the KD card that represents the crawled document.
So really all the links to documents stay valid only if the KD card are not deleted and recreated...(otherwise, the links are broken...and i did not find a better way to handle this better yet)
We also use the "Edit/Create" buttons for all our publisher content in order to allow content editors easy access to the publisher content to edit/add.
The main pain points we have is that the preview is not very useful...previewing only the content of your portlet does not give you a feel of what the complete portal page will look with your new content. If there was a way to view the portal page (with all the publisher portlets on it) in preview mode, THAT would be useful.
And because of this, content managers are not very comfortable to create/edit the content in PROD directly (because they really want to see the end product of their editing process...i.e. the final portal page) and i don't blame them...
Which leads to another huge pain point: When creating content in Staging for example, it is hard to push it to PROD when ready. And even if you use the import/export feature (which is not great either because you can only export folder instead of being able to pick and chose the content you want to export), you need to have someone (infrastructure person who have access to servers) move the publisher export zip file...which makes the whole process more cumbersome than it should be, really.
Publisher should be multi-environment aware...What i mean is that it would be great if a single publisher instance would allow to push the content to different environments (i.e. STG first, and then when it looks good PROD) as the content mature towards production state. (products like Documentum -I know it is not the same planet compared to publisher but still...- do this flawlessly)
Last the free text editor is not awesome and i don't like that when you add a link to another item or image, it automatically puts the absolute path in there...that makes it harder to migrate.
I have not tried to replace the free text editor...What is your experience with FCKEditor??
