Be flexible if you attempt this - be sure your blurb is in sync with the actual price...it may not be as simple to do as it appears

New icloud pricing announced at WWDC 2014 - when will it be available?

I just saw that Apple will be using a new and lower pricing structure for iCloud. I have been putting off getting an increase since I lost my free MobileMe upgrade last year in hopes of better pricing. Is this something that will be available soon, or not until the fall with the release of iOS 8?

I had just upgraded to DropBox Pro cuz iCloud was not clearly the best choice -
NOW they insist on attempting to build more hype rather than supportively informing their loyal Apple adopters.
I have iMac 27 iMac 21 MacBook Pro MacBook Air Ipad iPad Mini TWO iPhones -
To say nothing of providing three family members with iPads -
All to support wo offices and two cars -
You MIGHT think they would offer some type of "Deal" and/or preferential access to those of us who make them great !
JUST sayin ~

The proposed pricing for this wonderful program

I really like this program and see the pricing starting in April will be around $19 per month. That may be great for agencies. Will there be a separate licensing fee for freelancers? I'm willing to pay $75 per year.

Hello testerddrrttd,
Thank you, we're glad you like BrowserLab. We're going to make a pricing announcement in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned.
Regards,
Bruce

READ THIS: Verizon worker said this.....

My cousin went in to verizon to buy the iphone, but basically told her not to get it and to wait for the droid thunderbolt. Said it had everything that iphone had and was 4g. WTH, why would he say this? He basically almost talked her out of it and now she may wait for the thunderbolt.

I agree. It is the sales reps job to inform consumers what their options are. If people don't get informed, then they complain. Now, someone informed someone and people are complaining. Most of the reps I get don't know anything.....actually I had one rep tell me that the iPhone 4 was a 4G phone! Of course I knew better, and called them out on it, but I am just using it to make the point that a lot of the reps know far less than we, as consumers do.
So, I applaud the rep for doing that. And, as someone said, what the rep said is all true. I, personally, prefer the iOS much better than Android, and there is also no pricing announced for 4G, so it may cost you an arm and a leg, as I bet VZW will go to some sort of a tierd 4G data plan (they will not just let you add on $10/month, or something, like Sprint does, for 4G) and it is not available all over yet of course (although it is a pretty decent footprint already considering it just came up).
If your cousin wants the iPhone 4 then she should get it....period......no matter what the rep says. If she is on the fence, then she should wait, again, no matter what the rep says.

Announcing Commercial "Pay-per-Use" Pricing

Hi all,
To all those eager to hear about our pricing, I'm pleased to be able to share this with you all. As of today, the LiveCycle Collaboration Service (LCCS) is available for purchase on a "pay-per-use" model -- worldwide!
Dimension
Price
Description
Live Stream Bandwidth

Push messages are data messages in to the service. Data messages out are excluded. Some examples of data messages include chat messages and shared cursors. Push messages assist in collaborative workflows between clients.
User Minutes
$0.01 USD per Hour
User minutes is the amount of time that a connection is maintained to the service. If there are 3 connections maintained over a 5 minute period, the total user minutes for that session is 15 minutes.
Note: Though multiple currencies are supported and your payment card will be charged in the appropriate currency, the developer portal interface and billing emails will be in English and USD only.
For more detailed information around our pricing model, please see the attached FAQ. Sign up now for a free account and/or upgrade your account now via our developer portal.
For those who we can't get anything past, we'll explain the rebranding later...
Thanks,
Fang

Nigel,
          Can you clarify this statement " First up, for P2P audio/video chat, as long as you're just doing 3 people or fewer in a room, and they all have permissive firewalls, you'll be fine."
In a previous thread where I asked about three man a/v chat I asked:
Is there a limit on the number of P2P streams allowed by the flash player?    I've got three way video chat working and there's a message in my debug log that says: "The total stream limit for P2P streams have"   and then it cuts off.   I grepped the source and didn't find that warning/error message.
So I'm guessing it's about to tell me the number of streams have been reached?   Beyond the fact that 3 upstream video chats is probably all most connections can handle, is this a hard limit in the player or a soft limit based on available bandwidth?
Thanks for the help.
-Eric
To which Hironmay later responded:
Hi,
If you are doing both audio and video for all three , It won't work. However, if you are doing only video then all three can share video.
So, the logic says the number of streams of any user multiplied by number of other users (except him) should not be greater than 3. So, if I am sharing both audio and video and there are two more people, then it becomes 4, which makes it fall back to hub-spoke.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Hironmay Basu
To which you responed:
Yeah, in this case, for every user that's receiving your stream, you have
to stream separately to them. So if I'm videochatting with 3 folks, I'm
pushing 3 streams - it's a lot for most uplinks to handle (many have their
hands full with just 1).
What we could consider doing is adding an API to StreamManager, such that
you could declare the stream limit and override how much pushing you think
your users can handle.
nigel
So does this mean you have removed this restriction or that there is a new API in StreamManager I need to look up and add to our code?
Not trying to be a d*ck just want to make sure I'm on top of things.
Thank You,
Eric

ARD 3 Announced - anyone find upgrade pricing

[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; Please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
It appears there is no discount for current owners. Anyone see any different information?

So, does anyone from Apple spend the time to read these discussions? Let’s see!
On February 20, 2006 I ordered an Intel Mac (MacBook Pro) and ARD (2.2 unlimited client version). The purpose for ordering both at the same time was to load ARD onto the MacBook Pro, thus allowing me to transition into my planned semi-retirement. Of course at the time I ordered the MacBook and ARD there was NO indication that ARD 2.2 was not going to run properly under Rosetta. After receiving the MacBook and spending several weeks trying to understand what was wrong with ARD I learned that ARD would not run under Rosetta (however there is now a marginally effective workaround). Certainly, it is only reasonable to allow persons who purchased ARD and an Intel Mac to upgrade to ARD 3, the ARD version that is compatible with the Intel processor.

BrowserLab 1.6.4 now live

For details, see our BrowserLab Team Blog post: http://blogs.adobe.com/browserlab/2011/10/07/browserlab-1-6-4-with-new-chrome-and-firefox- browsers-is-now-live/

Hello Martin,
Our philospohy with BrowserLab has beento provide a resource that is always available, and quick and easy to use. It is also to provide a relevant selection of browsers, configured to reflect the most common installations.
We take the removal of older browsers seriously, and are careful to check browser usage statistics. Once we see that the usage of a browser has dropped to an insignificant level, we talk to a representative sample of BrowserLab users to check for sensitivity to removing that browser. We do this to make sure we aren't missing or forgetting about something important that would make us want to leave an older browser in BrowserLab. E.g., IE6 is 10 years old, but it is important to our users, so we have kept it in BrowserLab.
By removing older browsers, we're telling our users that we think they no longer need to worry about testing them for cross-browser compatibility.
There may be some unique situations for some of our users where they will need to test in an older browser, but they're the extreme minority. To keep BrowserLab fresh and relevant for our user base, and to keep it affordable to run, we will continue to remove older browsers once they're no longer significant.
We've announced that BrowserLab will remain complimentary through April 2012. We'll communicate pricing shortly before then.

Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
forefront. We have
been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
announced for
that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
downloaded Oracle8
for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
the first
20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
paying
customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
accounts and most
of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
Linux. Already,
20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
internet
technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
Linux, this
release promises to be the hottest yet.
Read on for more information about:
- What are we announcing?
- What are the key messages?
- What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
- Why does Oracle care about Linux?
- Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
- Which products are available on Linux?
- Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
doing?
- Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
What are we announcing?
Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
strong demand
for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
shipping
Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
What are the key messages?
Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
fast, reliable
and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
the higher
value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
databases and applications).
With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
progressing from
its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
deployment
environment in large business.
Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
using Oracle8
and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
Network (OTN) for
Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
operating system.
What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
list (see
http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
operating
system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
developer licenses
through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
to use Oracle
software for non-commercial use.
Why does Oracle care about Linux?
Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
small ISP's
and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
sites. For
Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
three times
that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
low-cost, yet
highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
the NT market,
Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
strongly
contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
students and
developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
Fortune 100
companies and although deployments are still currently small
compared to NT
and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
Which products are available on Linux?
Currently available on Linux are:
- Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
- Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
- Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
- Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
- Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
equity
investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
primarily on
enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
(http://www.turbolinux.com)
VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
(http://www.linux.com)
Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
Oracle strategy
and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
(Strategic
Business Unit).

Press Release
ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
number one
choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
for Oracle
on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
business markets.
Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
Linux, after a
successful early adopter's program.
Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
over 50,000
downloads from Oracle Technology Network
(http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
registrants
for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
community,
Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
excess of 800
paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
enterprise accounts
and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
organizations.
"Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
had to rely on
NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
Linux," says
Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
company providing
customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
web hosting
and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
security,
performance, manageability or reliability required by our
customers. Oracle
brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
a result,
we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
Fortune 100
enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
the addition
of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
"Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
scalability and
performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
system," says
Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
e-commerce
service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
members'
needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
"Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
community,"
says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
at Oracle.
"Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
Together they
offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
applications."
Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
the
Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
leadership in
the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
warehousing to
the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of
Oracle's
Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
and Oracle's
Internet development tools.
Oracle Corporation is the world's leading supplier of software
for information
management, and the world's second largest software company.
With annual
revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its
database,
application server, tools and application products, along with
related
consulting, education and support services, in more than 145
countries around
the world.

Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...
We can hope...

On Macbook Pro 13" Retina new pricing

Hey guys...
This can might as well be a far cry, but I will ask it anyway. With the new pricing of several Macbooks as announced by Apple last week, does anyone here know of any plans or incentives Apple gives to those who bought the rMBP13 when it was on its original price ($1699)? I bought my unit here in the Philippines at PhP82,990. It is just now at PhP69,990. The price difference (> PhP10,000) is just too huge to overlook. I just feel cheated...or should I say I just feel like a fool getting a unit on the month (November) it was released here. Note that the 256-GB model is now just at PhP79,990 which is still lower than the price of my 128-GB unit.
Thanks,
mervz05
Manila, Philippines, Macbook Pro 13" with Retina Display (late 2012), 128GB, 8MB RAM, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

You obviously felt the MacBook was worth the money in November, why would you feel cheated?

PortalStudio platform that can be embedded into any Web site or portal. They
are supported by RealCommunities Web Services that provide open API's to
gather, store, and act upon person and activity related data.
"Interaction Management is the set of person-to-person web services that
support online relationships and transactions," says Mr. Palmer. The
RealCommunities Web Services are based on the Mongoose 12 Principles of
CollaborationT, and include Identity, Groups, Reputation, Environment and
Communication.
RealCommunities WebComponents provide structured interactions to support
group goals. These collaboration capabilities can be incorporated into new
or existing portals and Web sites. RealCommunities WebComponents include:
Expertise & Skills Directory - This application facilitates the search
for a person or a group with the expertise, skills, service capability, or
reputation matching the user's needs.
Engagement & Feedback - After identifying an appropriate individual or
group, the application allows the user to negotiate an agreement for a
consultative or service relationship with the provider and subsequently to
rate the quality and usefulness of the provider's services.
Messages & Chat - These WebComponents provide Message Boards, Chat, and
Instant Messaging
Question & Answer - This post-a-question and get-an-answer mechanism
can be a public or private dialog and is used for self-help and support
applications.
File Sharing & Collaboration - Users can access content from WebDAV
(Web-based distributed authoring and versioning) clients and DAV-enabled
software packages such as Mongoose PortalStudioT, Microsoft® Office XP,
Microsoft® Web Folders, Adobe Acrobat®, and Macromedia Dreamweaver®. Thus a
Word® user can directly open documents that are stored in PortalStudio-based
portals.
Review & Recommend - This facility enables community members to provide
opinions and ratings, look at what others are saying, and view a composite
score of any participant or document.
Rewards & Incentives - Reward employees, partners, or customers who
participate in desired online activities. The application can be configured
to promote loyalty by providing incentives and rewards for desired
behaviors. The rules are easy to configure and change as business needs
evolve.
Tests & Polls - This utility enables a service provider or group leader
to ask questions of a population. Rules can be applied to responses to
generate scoring reports or individualized actions, e.g., if pass test, then
update reputation and deliver certification by email.
Companies can enhance their ebusiness effectiveness with Mongoose
RealCommunitiesT Interaction Management applications for increasing
productivity of sales teams, cultivating buyer and partner loyalty,
capturing better market data, and accelerating innovation and time to
market.
PortalStudio 2.0 Delivers Fast Results
Mongoose PortalStudio 2.0 is a visual portal assembly environment that
allows users to quickly and easily design portal components, assemble them
into a portal, then validate and deploy their portal solution to, for
example, BEA WebLogic. The simplicity of PortalStudio 2.0's one-click wizard
for configuring and deploying to environments such as BEA WebLogic is
dramatic. Like a "portal compiler," the PortalStudio one-click wizard
eliminates timely editing of complex J2EE and BEA specific configuration
files.
Other powerful features and capabilities in PortalStudio 2.0 include:
Instant WebSkinT Personalization
The presentation of information can be customized to the individual or
company standards using Mongoose WebSkins. Users can pick an existing
WebSkin from the PortalStudio library and re-brand their Web application or
apply a custom look-and-feel in seconds. With PortalStudio's
"person-to-system" Web services, XML-based content can be aggregated,
categorized, searched, and cached, served up to various display devices, and
personalized depending on browser, browser version, user, role, locale,
display device, language, and custom rules. Altogether, users can build an
application once, access it from many convenient devices, and be greeted by
a personal presentation.
Aggregate Corporate Applications
Corporate applications and databases can be aggregated into the portal with
Mongoose PortalStudio's "system-to-system" Web services for aggregation,
mapping & merging, caching, scheduled queries, and Rules and Alarms.
Mongoose PortalStudio includes WebConnectors for XML, JDBC, JCA, and MS
Exchange.
Enhance Existing Applications
Mongoose's "federated" approach means users can use Mongoose's PortalStudio
to create a portal from scratch and deploy it on a J2EE application server
from any of the leading vendors; maintain and enhance existing portal
applications; or embed Mongoose WebComponents into an existing Web
application. WebComponents included with PortalStudio include Table, Tree,
News, Document Sharing, Document Search, Message Boards, Chat, Instant
Messaging, email, and a MiniBrowser with source code.

Hello Vivek,
Thanks for the announcement.
It is nice to know that anyone that now purchases the
Technical Communication Suite 1.3 as an upgrade will get Adobe
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for the same price I paid in October 2007
for the Tech Comm Suite with Adobe Acrobat 8. Had I only waited
until this month to purchase the Technical Communication Suite I
too would have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat but alas, I will
have to spend an additional $300US to upgrade to TCS 1.3. Which
means I will have paid 30% more for the TCS than anyone purchasing
it now.
Sometimes it just does not pay to be an early adopter of a
product and have to go through the pain of wondering why RoboHelp 7
was so slow (among other bugs)...but I digress.
I understand you likely have nothing to do with the pricing,
but I felt I had to say something.
Regards,
Randi

Pricing for 4 and 4s

I'm getting very frustrated as the pricing for the 4 and 4s is yet to be changed to the announced lower prices. Other providers had the new prices in their systems early yesterday... I handle a large corporate account and have many users wanting to take advantage of the price drops. I'm a "usual" huge VZW fan, however, I can't imagine why in the world this hasn't been addressed yet, see no good reason or any explanation for it and find myself extremely disappointed w/VZW right now - EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED...
VZW - you are making my job more difficult - not happy

I was told yesterday by a VZW customer service person (through the "Chat Now" feature on www.vzw.com), that the price was supposed to change yesterday "but it didn't."
"James" wouldn't give me any more information than that.
The 4S is already $99 at Best Buy, but my plan is $50 more at BB than with VZW, so I'm obviously waiting for the price to drop with VZW. Silly that they'd wait until the 5 comes out.....especially when they're telling people it was supposed to happen yesterday and when other retailers are already offering it at $99.

Pricing and Function Questions

Right now I have Creative Suite CS5 Video Premium. I am interested in upgrading every 2 versions (so am looking at mid 2014 for a upgrade to CS7) Usually, at most, these upgrades run me around $800USD, and then I'm good til CS9. I see that Adobe is pushing this Creative Cloud, but I had 2 primary questions.
1. This isn't Cloud Computing, is it?
I understand ACC offers many web-related services, but programs as powerful as Photoshop, Illustrator and the like can't be remote-hosted applications that I connect over to via the internet, right? Am I right in thinking that the ACC still requires the bulk of files to be installed, but then is in tandem to providing additional online services and benefits.
2. Will the pricing structure be flexible?
I would think that an "ala carte" would be PERFECT for ACC, since I can pick and choose just what I need. But with the recently announced 2 year production cycle, that means that to upgrade every 2 versions (48 months), I would have to be paying $2,250 vs a one time $799 upgrade like before. That's a near 300% increase in pricing. I love Adobe products, but this obviously has me concerned if I'm not seeing eye to eye with what ACC is offering.
Also, Adobe isn't planning on stopping individual product purchase are they? In other words, they aren't nixing a CS7 version for the sake of pushing people to Cloud services, are they?

I looked it over, and the following programs are really the only ones I'm interested in:
Photoshop (Extended if available)
Illustrator
Dreamweaver (really wish they'd integrate CF Builder function into this)
Acrobat Pro
I was looking at their Edge tools, and some seemed cool: Animate, Reflow, Inspect, Typekit/WebFonts. But that's pretty much it.
I saw that they offered per-product subscription pricing, but at $15/mo/app, even that would easily go over $50/mo. Don't get me wrong, if I wanted Master Suite, $50/mo is a freaking steal, but it just seems geared more towards school/studio pricing than individuals.

Never leave CS6. CC pricing sucks, but this is even worse...

It has been discussed many times, the pricing of CC sucks and Europeans get ripped off by this Irish company with all its tax benefits.
But there is worse news. Encore has been scrapped. You can no longer deliver on BDR or DVD if you go to CC.
Adobe has single-handedly decided that Bluray and DVD are almost dead and the future is in delivering to iPhone or i-crap only. So they took away Encore altogether in CC. They have admitted they can withdraw any application from the Cloud when they like and you have to accept that. No recourse, no apologies, no refund, nothing. Take it or leave it.
For me that is EOS. I will continue using CS6 untill I find a good replacement, but CC is not at all interesting without delivery to BDR or DVD. In fact it is a complete turn-off.

I just made the discovery that Encore is no more. And by "discovered", that's what I mean. I installed all the new shiny software, and...where is Encore?!?
WHY WAS THIS NOT ANNOUNCED BEFOREHAND?!??!?!?!? Fireworks users were given advance notice.
As Encore was rolled up into Premiere several releases ago, I assumed it still would...especially since there was no indication otherwise.
Josh, why don't your read the whole thread? You'll find all the information you need to install Encore alongside your shiny new software.
Perhaps if you'd read all the way through this thread before posting you wouldn't have felt the need to shout at us like that.
You're wrong about there being "no indication otherwise". There've been blog posts about it from Adobe staff. Look, here's one dated May 15th that might have given a small hint (to anyone capable of reading between the lines): it's called "using Encore CS6 with Premiere Pro CC". There's even a helpful little video at the end.
