Can I trust something like this?

Okay, I'm searching eBay for Macbooks, and I find this: click here
How can I trust that? $35? And no reserve? Something makes no sense....
And no, I am not selling this, I'm looking for a good deal.

I've been selling on eBay for several years and the saying "If it's too good to be true it probably isn't(true), really applies to anything on eBay. Nobody is going to sell a real Macbook for $35, it was a scam and that's why it has been removed. Many times you'll see a post like that for ipods, mackbooks etc. and if you read close it will say something like "We will tell you how to get a Macbook for $35...." But the auction will have pics and info on the Macbook and make it appear you are getting a ipod or computer. btw Macbooks tend to hold their value quite well I sold a first gen for almost what I paid for it.

  • Love this but can I do something like this using Fireworks?

    Hi all,
    Saw this site recently and really liked the background, http://www.rareview.com/ the subtule colours and gradients etc. I do not want to recreate this in Flash I am looking to hopefully do this in Fireworks for my site.
    I would love to use the image attached and add very subtle colors and gradients to this. Am I pushing it with Fireworks? I have Photoshop and never really got into it, its just to complicated for its own good ;-)
    Any thoughts or advice would be great.
    Thanks, P.

    Yes I do have Firefox and I see what you mean. Hmmm I guess if you know these things it is very simple, posted this in Flash also and it has been pointed out there also.
    I am toying with the idea of either trying this as a static image in Fireworks for my site or even venturing into trying to create a similar effect using Fireworks then Flash.
    Attached is the image I love and would like that as the main image with only a third of it being displayed behind a solid header or footer, do you think in Fireworks I could add the type of subtle rainbow and vapor effect with gradients over the image?
    My strengths have never been good with gradients and messing with colours in both Fireworks and Photoshop, I tend to make so much work for myself I then end up hating the result ;-)

  • How difficult would it be to create something like this? 

    I'm looking to create a flash widget similar to what WoW has
    on their main page -
    http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml
    It needs to have images & text that could be called from
    a php or text file, so that it can be dynamically changed. Movies
    will also be integrated in the rotation as well for the Flash.
    How difficult would this be for someone who's new to flash?
    How long would it take and what all is needed to learn how to
    re-create something like this?

    The difficulty and time to do it depends on the learning
    capability of the new programmer. Patience and a drive to learn is
    what all is needed. Accomplishing one step at a time is probably
    the best approach, whether you're new or well-versed.

  • Exist a Jtree node.id or something like this ?

    I would want to retrieve a node using a unique 'id', for example the absolute index (into the total nodes count)
    Is there something like this ?
    Can I add a particular property to a node ? ( for example this 'id' if it does not exist )
    Another question :
    If I want to implement a search code, this 'id' can be useful, or must I transverse the whole Jtree

    Hello.
    Do the following:
    1. Go to the Apple Menu at the top left of the screen
    2. Select Software Update...
    3. Install any updates that are found.
    If the Amazon issue continues after these updates, then do this:
    1. Open Safari
    2. Erase any web address you have currently showing (for example www.apple.com or www.google.com)
    3. Type in www.amazon.com
    4. That should take you directly to amazon.com

  • How Can I Create Something In This Style?

    HI guys, I am currently working on graphics for a mobile game I am making. I have some skill in vector, mostly through Inkscape, but I am trying to use Illustrator more. The thing is despite what program I use I can't figure out how to create something in the style I desire. I would like it to look something like this...
    I can create the vector objects, like the saws,door, and chest pretty well, It is just the background and foreground in which I am lost. I notice they have a texture to them, with various colors, and almost a hand drawn look. Can this be accomplished in Illustrator, or will I need to use Photoshop? If so, how can I go about getting something similar to this. Are there any tutorials for work in this style, because I haven't been able to find any? Any information would be great. Even if their are any vector tutorials in this cartoon style, that would be nice too,since I can always improve. Thanks in advance!

    There are many ways you can achieve this effect you just need to learn.
    Here are some useful links for you to teach yourself some trick and effects:
    Tutorials - Adobe Illustrator - Digital Arts (lots of useful tutorials for adding textures & effects!)
    How to Create a Cartoon House in Illustrator - Illustrator Tutorials - Vectorboom
    Hope these help you achieve what you want.

  • I am doing a lot of presenting with the ipad and want an app that would bullseye or show where I am to my audience. Anyone know of something like this?

    It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

  • Does Something Like This Exist Already (for Window Managers)

    I know that one can use idesk to produce launchers for desktop programs in window managers like Openbox, but what about an actual small file manager, that always sits on the desktop, confined to its own little space.  Kind of like conky, if this makes sense. 
    I don't have a great deal of programming knowledge, just basics, but I've toyed with the idea of making a script to constantly reedit the idesk config file to do this, and while it could work, it's messy at best, and doesn't provide the same desired effect that a small desktop folder sitting on the WM desktop would.
    If this does exist, I give my apologies, but I did try to search Google for it, but got junk results.  Also, would something like this be feasible? (I am looking for a way to improve my programming skills over the summer, and was thinking that this could possibly be a way to do it.)  Even further, would it be acceptable to use Python for it?

    Hi!
    I don't really get what you mean... the Desktop usually is a file manager, isn't it? I'm not sure if Thunar draws the desktop, but Nautilus can even be pretty bitchy if something else (like conky) wants to have a piece. I didn't care enough about rox and its "everything's a folder"-philosophy to take a really close look at it, but there was an option to have it provide a desktop, too, if I remember right. And rox sounded/looks a lot, as it would provide the most "normal filemanager" behaviour when providing the Desktop (didn't try though - maybe I will).

    Did my best to try to elaborate by using an example there on a screenshot of my desktop. (A sloppy edit done in the GIMP)
    EDIT: What I would be looking for is something contained to that spot, so that way, if I were to right click inside of the rectangle, such as on a file, I would get options with what to open the file, or something else, even copy, cut, paste, or delete.  However, if I were to right click outside of the rectangle, I would get my openbox menu.  Hope this helps make more sense.

  • How to make something like this in Edge Animate?

    Hi,
    I'm hoping to make something like this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJeDppEHI1g – in Edge Animate but I'm not sure where to start.
    I'm new to Edge but am keen to explore.
    Anyone have any feedback on whether:
    1. It's possible, and
    2. What techniques/effects have been used.
    Thanks!

    Hi there and welcome,
      Could you be a little more specific on what it is exactly that you would want to create? Most of what I can see from that website is doable in Edge Animate, but if you specify what it is you'd like to accomplish I could walk you through how to do it.
    Thanks!

  • Sony, please tell me how you allow something like this to happen? Horrific Support Experience

    So, the below happened.  Essentialy, Sony sent me four broken TVs, forced me to spend about 20 hours of time replacing those TVs, and has refused to replace my broken television.  The below is a chain with one of your reps.  I would never have expected such a poor customer service experience from a company of Sony's caliber.  It has been very disappointing.  You insist that you are giving me an "offer" but you have given me no options whatsoever.
    I note that you continue to maintain that there is no viable replacement.  However, a simple search on your webpage and online shows that there are multiple 48 inch LED televisions still available.  I find your representation to be disengenuous.  The below chain is only one point in the long line of frustrating communications with your representatives.  All told me different things and made promises that were not kept.  I can only imagine how my case file looks.
    I would like an explanation from Sony how you could allow something like this to happen?  This has been the most frustrating experience I have ever had with a electronics company -- and I have had alot.  It has been terrible.

    How you get away with treating your customers like this is beyond me.  I am telling you that I purchased the television at a discounted rate that I am no longer able to obtain.  In other words, the amount you are refunding me will not make me whole.  I am also telling you that your colleague literally offered me a refurbished TV about two hours ago (apparently your group offers less to customers now).  You have already sent me three TVs and wasted about 20 hours of my time.  Despite all that, you unapologetically state that your "FINAL" offer gets me to nowhere that I need to be.  You have no remorse for the situation and have not gone any extra distance to make a customer whole, which is all that I am asking for.
    You have beaten me into submission over the past month with broken TVs, hours wasted shipping, long conversations with support representatives, and failed promises.  You guys go ahead and do whatever it is you need to do.  There is only so much that I can argue about.  No customer should expect this type of treatment from a company like Sony.  People purchase Sony so that they DONT have to deal with that type of nonsense.  This has honestly been the worst customer service interaction I have ever had.

Your file is being already being handled by our department which is the highest level you can get since our managers and supervisors are not part of the escalation path. The $319.99 is the amount that you paid for the TV and that is what we are going to refund you and the $50 is for compensation. You are getting more than what you paid for the TV so Sony believes it will cut it. Our offer is FINAL. Thank you.

    Mark,
    I just spoke to an individual on the phone who told me that you could send a refurbished model .  That conversation is exactly what prompted my email to this email address -- they told me to reach out here because you could provide me a better option rather than the two that were given.  Now you are telling me that not only can you not offer me a better option but that you are taking away an option previously given.  This is getting more and more ridiculous.  I am sorry but this just isnt working for me.  I dont understand how there is this much miscommunication between your departments. 
    I would like to be put in touch with a manager on this case.  Your offer to refund me 320 + 50 will not cut it.  I am amazed that a company like Sony, which people purchase because of the supposed product support and service, is failing their customer in this way.  It's very disappointing.

    Thanks, Mark.  My preference would then be to try a refurbished model one more time.  The issue is that I got the TV at Black Friday discount.  I wouldnt be able to replace it even if I wanted to.  So, I will try one more time and go from there.  Please let me know once the TV is shipped.

If the unit will be replaced it will be the 4th time already and to tell you honestly it will be much cheaper for you to just buyback the unit rather than to pay the shipper deliver the TV every time we replace it and we are not saying that it is your fault just to make it clear. We will buyback the unit for $319.99 and we will add up another $50 as compensation for all the troubles. Please let us know once you have made your decision. Thank you.

    Over the past month, you have sent me four defective TVs.  I cannot tell you how frustrating this process has been for me.  I never would have thought that a company like Sony could be this bad.  It has been like pulling teeth with you all.
    I purchased my television thinking that it would come along with the best product and support in the market.  That has not been the case.  My TV broke down within a year and now you have sent literally four televisions to replace it but none of them have worked.
    The latest contact I got was that you have run out of new television for my model and instead need to send me another refurbished one or refund me.  I do not want either option.
    I want a brand new TV.  I dont care if it's the same one or a better one but it has to be new.  It cannot be refurbished.  I do not want a refund.
    At this point, I have spent about 20 hours of my life on the phone with you or shipping back and forth items.  I would also like compensation to account for that time.

    hi! i'm having a problem with my safari as unnecessary new tabs keeps opening overtime i open some link! is anyone experiencing something like this !

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?

    Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?  I have been using PS touch for iPad for a few years and ALWAYS end up with a message that I have reached the maximum allowable number of layers.  not to mention of course a simple tool for drawing straight lines which is a must.  I may be missing something.  I would have imagined that a respectable company like Adobe would have added over the years a small upgrade to solve these issues.
    thanks. 

    Hi Patrick,
    I'm working on a 30" monitor, so it's effectively 2560x1600.  It only seems to be showing 2 tracks at a time, unless there is a preference or setting I'm missing that I can't seem to find in the documentation.  Here is a screenshot:
    I don't see any areas for expanding the timeline.  I can scroll vertically in the timeline, but I can't seem to actually get a larger static vertical area for showing more tracks at once.  The only vertical resizing widget is to expand the bottom or top panels, not the timeline.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Why do I get a message something like this following message in GarageBand? "Unexpected audio request...(Elastic audio)(-10024)"

    Why do I get a message something like this following message in GarageBand? "Unexpected audio request...(Elastic audio)(-10024)"

    Hi lizz4321,
    A digital ID is made up of three components; a private key, a corresponding public key, and some identifying information. The keys themselves are pretty straight forward, they are just big blobs of numbers used to encrypt and decrypt data. It's the identifying information that gets a bit tricky. On first look, the identifying information looks like plain text. You'll see your name and the issuer's name, a serial number, some dates for when the validity starts and ends. All pretty straight forward.
    However, all of this information is actually formatted using something called ASN.1 (it stands for Abstract Syntax Notation) and then encoded using BER (Basic Encoding Rules). When someone creates a digital ID they can put just about anything in there. Per specifications (RFC 5280 if you wanted to look it up) some items are required, and others are optional. Each piece of information that goes into the public-key certificate (the PKC is basically the digital ID without the private key) is contained in an extension. These extensions are identified using an OID (Object ID) and conform to a specification which may either be public or confidential.
    There are two possibilities in the case you are seeing. Either, some of the information that Acrobat knows about was formatted or encoded incorrectly, or, there is an optional entry that Acrobat doesn't understand how to decode. My guess is it's the latter possibility. There is a rule that states if an extension is marked as critical, and the application using the public-key certificate (in this case the application would be Acrobat), doesn't understand the extension, then the application is supposed to reject the certificate. It could be the former case (badly formatted data), but without seeing the certificate all I can do is guess.
