Creative Vs. Apple...(Creative taking advantage over apple's victo

http://www.creative.com/products/pro...9&product=9022.. its recomends them for your ipod...

There are various speaker systems Creative sell which are recommended for the iPod.
Creative have always sold speakers so it's daft for them not to recommend they can be used for something with a big market share. Odd, but sensible

I have an outstanding event notification that will not allow me to accept, decline or maybe. Neither can I delete the event, despite it taking place over 6 months ago. Sent numerous reports to Apple. How can I get rid of this?

I have an outstanding notification on my calendar on iCloud. Despite the event taking place over six months ago, it is still showing as an outstanding event. I have tried to 'decline, maybe or accept' the event invitation and each time it tells me the calendar is not repsponding and send to Apple, which I do and yet I still cannot get rid of it. Any other event invitations that I accept etc will disappear, except this one. Help!

Does this apply?

Is this taking advantage of the consumer?

I have spent hundreds of dollars on iTunes songs. I have asked Apple to 'reactivate songs' twice out of the three times now, and each time I've lost my music is purely because of Apple's software. Why can't we redownload previously purchased songs for free, like we can for applications?
The first time Apple 'reactivated' my purchases, was when I reformatted my computer. I admit, I didn't have them all backed up, so it was my fault. I didn't know I would have to -rebuy- albums, if this or anything possibly related happened again, at the time. But then again, it's not like it's obvious.
The second time Apple 'reactivated' my purchased items, and made them downloadable for me, was when I bought some albums from my iPhone, turned on my computer to sync, and bam. My entire library was clear. This was random, and when I enquired to Apple about it, I was told it was my fault, as I didn't "back up my library" or purchases I didn't have time to sync. This was the second of the three times Apple will reactivate my downloads.
Now, my current scenario is as follows. So, IOS 5 has been released, and I naturally decided I would want to upgrade my outdated software. To do so, I would need to update my iTunes. I attempted to do so, before the installation was abruptly halted with an error message. I figured that it would be more likely to work if I uninstalled iTunes, and re-downloaded the latest version. To my surprise, it still wouldn't install. I had bought two albums prior to this, and of which I don't want to lose (total: $32.20), due to Apple's dodgy software. I am considering reformatting my computer, so I can get IOS 5, and have iTunes working again. However, I also wish to not have to re-buy previously bought items, or use my third and final "download reactivation".
I am under the impression that this is taking advantage of the cobsumer, because we'd need to purchase what we've purchased. Doesn't make that much sense to me. I think it'd be better if iTunes allowed us to redownload all purchased songs/apps by using the "Check for available downloads" option.
I can't help but think it's a profit-oriented scheme, designed to maximise profits; people re-buying bought items, as iTunes is dodgy, and they can't re-download them for free.
Thanks.

...Why can't we redownload previously purchased songs for free, like we can for applications?
...because we'd need to purchase what we've purchased.
Music is licensed differently than apps.
If you lost a CD, the record company or the retailer where you bought it doesn't owe you a free replacement. It would be your responsibility to care for your CDs or replace them.
I can't help but think it's a profit-oriented scheme, designed to maximise profits
Well, yes. Apple is a business. Making a profit is their goal.

Does TM have any real functional advantages over other solutions?

Hi All
Looking at possible network backup solutions. Does TM have any real functional advantages over something like SuperDuper? I'm not really looking for an "archive" solution, which is I think how a lot of people perhaps incorrectly view TM, but just something that will allow me to easily recover from corrupt/crashed system - TM seems rather overkill and complex for that?
Any advice/views appreciated...jeremy

Officially, TM does not work over a network, except via Time Capsule or to another Mac running Leopard on the same local network: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
Some of us are able to use a USB drive attached to an Airport Extreme, or a shared drive on a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard on the same local network. Some others are using various NAS devices that claim to be TM-compatible, but often with various difficulties.
So if you're set on a network solution, your options with TM are limited.
CarbonCopyCloner does not work to any network destination, and I don't think SD does, either.
Other than that, TM has two main advantages over the "clones:"
Being able to do hourly incremental backups of new and changed items very quickly, it gives you an excellent chance of recovering something that was changed or deleted in error, or that got corrupted. Most other apps, especially CCC and SD, if they're backing-up your entire system, in most cases just aren't practical to run more than once or twice a day.
Second, since every TM backup is, in effect, a full one, you can restore your entire system to the exact state it was in at the time of any backup, even if it was a previous version of Leopard or Snow Leopard. Many folks have, for example, successfully and easily downgraded from SL back to Leopard when they found they had incompatible apps or other problems.

I had planned on taking advantage of the Unlimited Data Loophole but... (VZW REP PLEASE READ)

I had planned on taking advantage of the Unlimited Data Loophole by upgrading a phone that was originally on a tiered plan then activating the iPhone 5 on that plan I would then have taken the iPhone 5 and and then activated it on a number that is currently a 4G unlimited plan. I would then reactivate the original iPhone 4S that was on tiered data plan.
I was advised by a VerizonWireless customer service rep over the phone a few months ago on how to do this process. I later called back after the iPhone 5 was released and verified that this process would work so I could keep my unlimited data plan while upgrading on the the Tiered Data Plan Number.
That was then and this is now...
Recently I had a failure of the 4G unlimited data handset and decided expedite the process as much as possible trying accomplish this process ASAP. I was told that the process mentioned above was phased out and one could only upgrade an unlimited plan to an iPhone 5 by paying full price for the handset and then activating the iPhone on the current unlimited data number. I told the rep on the phone at this time that I was advised that I could take advantage of the Data Loophole via the process mentioned above and it should have been annotated on the customer service record as a reference of the conversation. However was adamant that this process was phased out and was no longer possible. I told him that I felt he was wrong but I had no one else to got to. This is my second and largest problem... I can't find anyone that will stand up for what I have been told or that can fully commit to what they are saying.
So now I've been on a mission.
I needed to find some resource that stated that I could order the iPhone 5 on a Tiered Data Number, activate it and then move the iPhone 5 to the unlimited data plan number. Everywhere I looked I found that it appeared that the most recent conversation I had with the VZW rep was correct and if I wanted the iPhone 5 on my unlimited plan I would have to pay nearly $1000 (64GB version with Taxes and a case) for the opportunity to use the iPhone 5 in an unlimited manner.
Today I ponied up and a gave up the big bucks because I did the math and figured so long as I was not I was not giving up unlimited plan and I could keep the pricing I was able to get that plan at I would receive a return on additional costs in less than 2 years. Very shortly my plan will go from 4 billed numbers (3 handesets and one tablet) to 2 billed numbers.
This evening while researching another subject (Google Voice Mail on iPhone) I came across a VZW rep advising on how to do the exact process I wanted to do in beginning rather than paying the almost $1000.

Re: Data loophole?
Verizon Wireless Customer Support Oct 18, 2012 4:22 AM (in response to mitt02)
I bet you're excited to get your brand new iPhone 5. I'm jealous! I want one too.
If you ordered the phone on one of your lines that is on the tiered data you can activate it on that line and then switch it to your line with the unlimited data plan. This will allow you to keep the unlimited data plan because you are not upgrading and accepting a discount on the line with the unlimited data plan. The only way you would lose the unlimited data plan is by upgrading the line with the unlimited data plan and accepting a discount on the device.
Hope this answers your question.

===============================
I am so confused and frustrated. I can I believe? Who in Verizon stands up for what they say? Who actually "knows" what works and what doesn't work?
Even the process I went through this morning was a debacle, The Store manager and his "Very Experienced Customer Representative" told me that the full retail process would not allow me to keep my data plan. One of them was giddy after it worked and the other was disappointed. The good part about it is that I was told that I could cancel the order at no cost to me so long as it hasn't shipped.
So back to my 1st 2 questions
1) Will the original process work? (Activate on Tiered data plan handset and then move it to a set had the 4G unlimited so long as there is an upgrade available?
2) Who will put their JANE OR JOHN HANCOCK on the correct process and make sure that I am nit being taken advantage of?
I work for a very large corporation that has a very large contract with VZW with great discounts. They don't discount everything and I could have probably went to our VZW corporate rep but I want to deal with the same people the rest of my family talks to.
JOHN B? Can you advise me? I pay VZW big bucks and I don't complain too often and I am hoping that I can be treated as we as I treat mu customer and get a truth that the organization as a whole will stand behind.
Sorry that it is so long but If you only knew the number of conversations and the amount or reading and the outright bull I had to ingest to get this far.
Thanks

PS...
P.S. Anyone have Google Voice Mail on the iPhone? I love the transrcibed SMS text messages relating to the actual voice mail message and an email with .wav files that I can forward or respond via email if needed. If not I would have to give it up (pluse I have a GREAT secondary telephone number I would hate to give up.
Also can my National Unlimited plan set have the 4G hotspot feature added to it? Is it still 2GB for $20?
Thanks again

After further telephonic conversations with VZW it was again verified that what the rep that told me previously, that it was IMPOSSIBLE to use this UNLIMITED DATA loophole happened to be 100% WRONG/FALSE/LIES/MISUNDERSTOOD/STUPID/UNEDUCATED/MISREPRESENTED.
THE UNLIMITED DATA LOOPHOLE WORKS AT THIS TIME, SO LONG AS YOU MEET THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
[ (A) = 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN ]
[ (B) = TIERED DATA PLAN PLAN ]
You already have a family plan with at least 1 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN (A) or You have an individual account with a 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN (A). It makes a difference as to how you go about it but the result is the same.
You have a TIERED DATA PLAN number that has an immediate upgrade available (B) or your account has a number with an immediate upgrade available that can be transferred that number with the TIERED DATA PLAN (B), you would transfer that upgrade to the TIERED DATA PLAN number to begin the process.
You will then purchase an upgrade iPhone 5 on the TIERED DATA PLAN account (B) AT THE DISCOUNTED RATE.
ONCE THE NEW UPGRADED iPHONE 5 ARRIVES AND HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE FORMERLY TIERED DATA PLAN NUMBER (B) IT MUST BE LEFT THERE FOR A 24 HOUR PERIOD. I have learned that this period is required but many others have been able to get away with less than 24 hours, however this is another VZW gotcha. YOU DO NOT WANT ANYMORE VZW GOTCHAs.
After the 24 hour period is over the original handset (or any other applicable handset for that account) (B) can be assigned BACK to the TIERED DATA PLAN number (B) and the iPHONE 5 can then be moved to the 4G UNLIMITED PLAN number (A).
So long as you acquired the iPHONE 5 via a separate transaction, yours or someone else's TIERED DATA PLAN (B) account, you should have had no effect on your current 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN (A).
I found out that without a doubt, in spite of what others have said (AT THIS TIME), this will work.
Once you are successful, you will learn that however much time you had on your 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN (A) account you will still have. THIS IS TRUE EVEN IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR YOUR iPHONE 5 AND ADD IT TO YOUR 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN (A). This is in spite of any previous ** you may have been advised of during conversations or correspondence with any of the uneducated phone or store customer service personnel).
AGAIN... YOU WILL STILL BE UNDER A PLAN THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREVIOUS UPGRADE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO WITH OR TO THE 4G UNLIMITED DATA handset.
If you have a 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN (A) and you have any wishes of adding the HOTSPOT feature, you must do this prior to the conversion (adding the iPHONE 5). Once the iPHONE 5 has been assigned, the selection of a HOTSPOT will either not be present in your "MYVERIZON" area or greyed out for the VZW personnel and no longer selectable. The removal of this option is another impetus by VERIZON to cancel your 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN and move to a TIERED DATA PLAN. If you cancel your HOTSPOT feature you will NEVER GET IT BACK unless you change plans.
The VZW telephonic Customer Service Personnel may even see an UNLIMITED HOTSPOT DATA PLAN for your current service while you may/will only see a 3G 2GB version in your MYVERIZON account area. They can select this UNLIMITED HOTSPOT FEATURE. YOU CAN NOT.
The UNLIMIITED HOTSPOT feature is $30 and the 2GB HOTSPOT FEATURE is $20 per month. Since I am cancelling the service on my XOOM tablet of 3GB for $35 per month which one do you think I took?
==========================================================
THIS IS ALL TRUE AS OF TODAY FOR MY SITUATION, HOWEVER YMMV.
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT IT ALL WORKS OUT AS VZW PROMISED. PLEASE CHECK BACK AS I WILL UPDATE THIS THREAD IF ALLOWED.
==========================================================
HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT THE ONLINE VZW Customer Service Personnel have flocked to this thread to help me out?
While in conversations or correspondence with VZW personnel DO NOT USE THE WORD "UPGRADE" in association with your 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN. INSTEAD, USE THE WORD "CONVERSION" WHEN TRYING THIS PROCESS. Otherwise you may cause their brains to jump track and you could lose your 4G UNLIMITED DATA PLAN.
============================================================
Thanks to those of you that have attempted to respond and inform in a helpful manner. I am not a VZW hater, I hate when any company attempts to bait and switch, fails to be clear or uses tactics to confuse it's customer base to have them subscribe to services or features that have short introductory periods or the company "reserves the right to change" and does so very quickly once they have acquired the numbers they have been looking for.
I am hoping that one day I can make the statement that deceptive sales practices are UNAMERICAN.
I WOULD LIKE TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES TO BECOME A CORNERSTONE TO THAT STATEMENT.
HOWEVER I FEEL THAT AMERICA HAS A LONG WAYS TO GO!
THANK THE PEOPLE THAT TREAT YOU RIGHT!
Lastly, I was very lucky to make contact with an extremely knowledgeable, confident, competent and well spoken VZW Customer Service Person. After her extraordinary efforts in attempting to satisfy my issues and wishes I made the effort to thank her and made sure that she would be recognized among her peers. Before we terminated the call I asked to speak to her supervisor and advise of him my satisfaction. I advised that I work for VZW's competition and it is when I meet up with people like her that I work harder to keep my customers happy and keep my customers my customers.
When you have someone that makes the extra effort to fix your issue or finds a way to give you what you thought you bought please find a way to give them kudos or recognition beyond a simple online or telephone survey or a plain old "thanks".
It was not too many years ago that many businesses thought the intangible product, customer service, as being as important as all the other tangibles they sold. This is no longer true in most respects. Some businesses are coming around but very, very slowly.
WE AS CONSUMERS MUST DEMAND GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE or it will forever be shoddy. We must demand knowledge, effort, personnel we can understand, representatives of the company that have a stake in the organization and are not just some off shore or distant contractor that may serve customers from multiple companies in the same hour.
Still... make sure you say thank you for good service. Say thank you not only to the person that gave it to you but to the corporate infrastructure as a whole. Our businesses need to stop letting the stockholders decide how long a company survives in the marketplace. Too often companies decide keep their budgets down by slashing or limiting customer service as a first strike.
Yes, we all know that price rules in many cases, BUT THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY REQUIRES KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE to advise it's customers of their options and help them make it work like the commercials or advertisements show they would.
Even the stockholders fail to remember or choose to understand that ultimately it is the customer that signs their paychecks.

W5XX professional users - does win 8 have any advantages over 7?

I expect that many or most W5XX owners use their workstation lappy primarily or entirely for work. I do. I have 2x 30" monitors, 32 GB ram ( and use it) , and hundreds if not thousands of apps installed, and have probably 20+ open at any given time.
Trying to move to a new HD, I accidentally installed windows 8, and, before going back to 7, decided to try it for a few days.
Like many, i hated it with venom for its unintuativeness (had to google how to close an app, and how to launch an app). I have used Windows since version 3.1, Unix since SCO, Mac since the Mac 128, and I could not figure how to close an app or launch an app with keyboard and mouse. I was stunned.
So i did a lot of googling and viewed many tutorials, and got to the point where I could install and run most of the apps I would need.
I quickly realised that ALL metro apps are completely useless for me. Why would I want skype or IE to take up an entire 30" monitor, not allowing me to work on photoshop or in Eclipse IDE at the same time as chatting? They are all glorified toy widgets.
I see the value of windows 8 and metro apps on phones and tablets where really simple full screen apps are at home, and most peole spend their time in twitter, FB and looking at their cat pictures, but I cant see any value on the desktop - it just slows me down. BTW if I want to look at my cat pictures, I fire up lightroom.
So here is the question: metro aside, on the dekstop, are there any features in windows 8 which are an imporevemnt on windows 7? I.e. is there a reason to stick with 8 which I havent found yet? Some feature which helps productivity on the desktop, or some W5XX driver which works better on 8?
E.g. I have heard that 8 boots slightly faster than 7. Is this the only adantage?
I rarely use winows search in 7, as I cant stop it from returning hundreds of hits from my hundreds of thousands of emails, instead of the file or contact I was actually looking for. i assume windows 8 does nothing to help this.

Having used windows 8 for a week, in my oppinion, there are no advantages over windows 7 what so ever, and many disadvantages, including:
need to learn everything from scratch, you even have to google how to close a metro app or how to shutdown.
or you need to spend time turning windows 8 back into windows 7 using various tweaks and start button replacements.
No noticable speed difference in startup or operation (on this machine at least)
If you have a problem, finding help is very difficult - all the solutions posted are for windows 7. E.g. Its not possible to change the keyboard mapping windows boots with - it always defaults to US keybaord, I want it to default to UK, but no chance to find a solution.
Metro apps suck in every way. They are noddy, cut down, dummed down apps desiged for the limitations of small, touch screen devices, not desktops with keyboard and mouse.
the windows 8 start screen is an abomoniation for two reasons:
a) its a huge disctraction or "cognitive burden" to switch from the apps you have open on the desktop, to a complete full screen colour explosion of flasing icons, find what you want, then jump back. Its a productivity no-no.
b) I could never find anything using the start screen, I hated it. e.g. if you want to find an app, you have to look all through every icon - there is no logic or order. if its not on the first screen, you have to click the mouse on a little apps arrow, which list all apps in a horrible order. E.g. each MS app is split, os Word is under W, access is under A. I want them all to be grouped together, but you cant. WIth the old win 7 start menu, when you click on all programs, you get an order list of all the intalled apps which does not change, so is much quicker.
Windows 8 is obvisly designed and optimised for small touch screen devices. Its a poor experience for desktop.
Lenovo tools have had most of their functionality removed, and put up as metro apps only. No desktop versions. Much of the functions I actually used is gone, e.g. the abilty to set the battery into lifespan mode, to make it last a lot longer by not charging it to 100% etc. Now you have to charge it to 100%, and it kills the battery life by comparison. Windows 8 is deisgned to run off batteries, not mains.
I had to disable the location services service, as it stopps chrome from working (it cant save anything, eg. you cant book mark, you cant install extensions, you cant sync etc). Once disabled, chrome works again . it was holding open the file Chrome uses to save its data. This wasted me half a day - so as self employed, windows 8 has cost me money to get working I would not have had to spend on windows 7. This is partly due to lenovos shoddy testing - they have a lot of bugs in their SW, bios and drivers which should have been caught at test time, but more so on windows 8 than 7.
In short, I am dissapointed that there are no windows 8 features which are worth moving to windows 8 for, and I deeply regret my decision to try it. If it hadnnt just taken me 3 days to install and configure all my apps, dev IDEs, VPNs, databases, VMs etc I woud switch back to 7. Those people who say they prefer windows 8, I dont understand why, but good luck to everyone.
I hope this helps other W5xx owners who are considering the same question.
P.s. I installed classic shell, and highly recommend it as a fully featured free windows 7 start menu for windows 8.1. One person sais they had luck with installing the unsupported windows 7 lenvo apps on widnows 8, but I am rather scared to do this - I am not sure how they will conflict.
Windows 9 is just around the corner, and who knows if this will cripple business users further, or if all the time you spent learning how to use windows 8 will be thrown away if they go back. One thing is for sure - windows 8 is designed for small touch screen devices, and home users who use social apps and news primarily. Just look at what apps are availble in the store.

How can I set my phone to delete messages after a certain period of time? 6 months, 1 year??? It is taking up over 4GB on my phone. I don't want to delete everything just the oldest ones.

If you update to iOS 8, you can select that in Settings>Messages>Keep Message and then select your option. If you don't update to iOS 8, you'll need to do it manually.

Mpd: Advantages over other players as single user

Hey everyone,
I installed Archlinux just two weeks ago and I really like it. As amarok2 is not final yet I am at the moment looking for some alternatives (absolutely don't like juk that comes with KDE4) and I've seen in this and other forums that many people are very excited about mpd. So I tried it out myself (but only installed the console client mpc though) and I wonder what the advantages are over other players that you can use, like amarok, without a daemon in the background?
I know that it is a special server-client structure, but since I am the only person using my computer (a laptop) I don't really think that using mpd would be so great for me, but I don't know if I am missing some important point.
For me as the only user of my computer the interface of the actual player and the features of that player count, and with that in mind, amarok is really great for me. Is there anything that I could be excited about, using some mpd-client together with mpd? mpd itself if I understood it correctly is simply supplying the database for the music, but I still need a player with the features I want, which may be inferior to the features I like in amarok.
I hope you understand my point of view, it is not some bashing on mpd, it must be really great if you have some music server running it and you can connect to it with other computers, but does it have any advantages over the normal players on a single user system?

That's the main reason I liked MPD so much while I was using it. I could shut down the computer while it was playing, then when I turn my computer back on, the music starts playing as soon as mpd starts.
The only reason I prefer amarok over mpd is because if I added a song to my filesystem I would have to update the database for mpd to find and play it. I like just browsing files and dragging them into a playlist, which you can't (or couldn't while I was using it) do with mpd.
Sonota has an option to update database on startup
So does ario-svn. In fact, all of the cool features of sonata that aren't typical in mpd clients I asked the developer of ario to implement. He did.

Airport connection taking priority over Ethernet

There have been similar posts about this, one of which is marked as answered so I can't reply to that.
I am running within my company and may Macbook is connected via Ethernet to the network. I have a Time Capsule doing wireless backups. The Time Capsule is also connected to the network via Ethernet to provide me with a personal WiFi point (so I can use if with my iPad etc).
However I noticed that wireless connection is taking priority over the wired Ethernet, effectively making the Ethernet wired connection to my Mac redundant. Whilst this doesn't really result in a massive performance issue, it would be best to use Ethernet whenever connected.
I checked System > Network > Set Service Order and Ethernet is above AirPort.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
I read this as no-one seemed to have made a reply.
I ma not sure I have the answer but I do have some questions.
Those answers may provide some insight to someone that can help.
Are you saying that effectively you have a Modem and possibly a router that serves the computers at your company ?
Separate from this a Time Capsule is also on this Network.
You say Wireless backups.
Does this mean the Setting in System Preferences > Network differ between the Airport Card settings and the Ethernet Card Settings ? (Different "router IP" Listed)
Could you explain how the Computer is therefore doing Wireless backups ?
If you are Ethernet to the regular router and then Ethernet from there the to the Time Capsule I don't see how it was set up for Wireless.
Was the Time Capsule set up to Extend the regular Network ? (Join an existing Network or if set up manually, the drop down in the Internet pane read "Bridge (Off) Mode")
The System Preferences > Network Settings would be the same except for the Airport Cards IP Address and the Ethernet card's IP address in this case.
From there where are you getting the info that the Wifi/Airport card is taking priority ?
Setting the Sort Order needs you to Drag things down the List or only up to second place (you cannot drag to the top directly).
You do seem to be saying that you have achieved this.
The Mac Help on this does not say that one will override the other - just that it will try the top one first.

Advantage over C++

What is the advantage of java over C++?Is their any?

jschell wrote:
Java has too many advantages over C++ to mention. The number of new projects that choose to use C++ over Java is diminishing rapidly. In short, Java is modern, sophisticated, secure, scalable, reliable, readable, etc. and C++ inherently is really none of these when compared to Java.Basically nothing more than subjective bias.You're kidding right? You need to get out more. Or perhaps you truly believe it's pure coincidence and brilliant marketing buy Sun that the world chooses to use Java over C++ for the majority of projects every day.
C++ can do anything java can.That's like saying a PC can do everything a Mac can do. I get your point but it's useless garbage you're speaking.
And excluding the emotionally loaded words that have no objective reality at all (like 'modern', 'readable', etc) things like scalable etc are based on the architecture and design and not the language choice.I agree to a point. Realize that Java is a platform (language, api's, runtime, etc.) and not just a language spec alone. So architecture and design are part of the Java platform.
And although creating a J2EE container from scratch in C++ wouldn't be my first choice of implementation it doesn't mean that it couldn't be done.Again, I could walk to work 10 miles but I can get there faster with my Toyota.
The fact that C/C++ usage has declined slightly has at least some basis in the fact that other language usage is going up, and the tiobe site (which you cite) it is quite clear that java usage has an obvious downward trend from when the data collection started
Java is now much faster than native C/C++ in paralleled environments, which is the future. Sure, you could write C++ code to run in parellel and compete in the performance arena, but your project would take twice as long to code.I would like to see the data that supports that.Okay, at first I thought this was just flamebait from some troll. But now I know that you just don't have a clue about Java. First of all, you can see all the data you like. I just did a Google search and found lots. But here's something I read recently that comes to mind: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/javaC_LRWP/
In any case, this is not my theory and it's well documented. I'm certainly not going to argue a well established fact such as this.
But I'll just say that I haven't touched C/C++ code in 8 years and I'm pretty sure there's a reason.I have touched C/C++ in the last 8 years along with C#, SQL (various dialets), perl, java and various scripting languages. And the reasons for those varied but often included because that is what the customer wanted or because it was best for the job or at least in one case C++ was used because java couldn't solve the problem.Oh, so C++ can do anything Java does but Java can't do what C++ can. I think I get you now. Get some help my man. :-)

Advantages over Google Gmail

I see that the web interface to Verizon Email has the ability to hide advertising. This is a nice advantage over the Google Gmail web interface. Are there any other advantages to using Verizon.net Email over Google Gmail?
In addition, are there any documents describing the technical details such as supported protocols and features of Verizon Email?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, there are lots of advantages to using Verizon.net over gmail. Here are some:
SPAM: Unlike gmail, Verizon's SPAM filters are much better at letting SPAM reach your inbox. Your inbox will be graced with lots of useful messages about auto-loans, health insurance, male enhancement products, women who want to date you and Nigerian attorneys who need your help relocating large sums of money.
ISP lock in: Verizon email service is excellent at helping you decide to stay with Verizon Internet services. If you were to switch Internet services, Verizon will require you to pay a fee to keep your email. This fee will cause you to re-consider changing ISPs, thus helping you remain a Verizon customer. Contrast this with gmail, which is not tied to any ISP and will not remind you to rethink any ISP changes.
POP connection: Verizon email uses the much older "Post Office Protocol" (POP) to connect email clients to the server. gmail uses "Internet Message Access Protocol" (IMAP) instead. Unlike the IMAP, POP makes it easy to have multiple devices access the same email server and maintain separate, completely un-synchronized copies of emails. With POP, users have the advantage that email deleted on one device is still visible on all other devices. Deletions must be carried out on each device, thus allowing you to confirm multiple times that you want to delete that important email from the Nigerian attorney. Further. unlike IMAP, POP eliminates the confusion of moving email into folders for categorization and automatically maintaining synchronization of folders across all email clients/devices. In short, Verizon's choice of POP spares you from the ease of using an advanced email management protocol across multiple devices/clients.
Hopefully this will help you better understand the advantages of Verizon email over gmail.
Enjoy!

Does Logic on Lion offer any advantages over Snow Leopard?

Does Logic on Lion offer any advantages over Snow Leopard? Which is more stable?

Thanks for your replies. I have a new Mac Pro and are about to make a brand new install of Logic. As this is a serious time commitiment, because of all my 3rd party plug-ins, software instruments, sample libraries and loops, I want to choose the right OS from the start so I don't have to re-do it again. I have 10.6.8 on my old machine and that has been working well.
My original plan was to wait for 10.8 and do it then. But now I've read a lot of posts saying people are having trouble on 10.7. For obvious reasons, I would prefer to be on the newest OS, but not at the expense of bugs and glitches. I'm also worried that some of my 3rd party stuff won't work on 10.8. Is there a compatibility list somewhere?
I've been with Logic for almost 20 years now, and my experience has always been that it's usually wise to stay behind at least one OS version, in order to get stability and full compatibility with 3rd party plug-ins and drivers.
Is there any advatage with 10.7 or 10.8 over 10.6 in the way assigning RAM to sample instruments is handled?

Why has my Creative Cloud taken over Production Premium on a second computer?

I have Creative Cloud on my desktop computer, but Production Premium CS 6 on my main editing computer and my laptop (both on the same Production Premium license). But the laptop popped up with a notice it was on Creative Cloud and that I needed to log in and license to proceed - which I did. But I don't want that - I want to keep Production Premium on that computer. Why did it switch over to Creative Cloud on my laptop, and how do I switch it back to Production Premium?

Thanks jgruzec. This leads to other questions and issues:
1. Is this a normal problem when one has both Adobe purchased software and Adobe subscription software under the same Adobe ID? Are others seeing it? I have not seen this described before, and if it was I missed it when I subscribed to Creative Cloud. I did use the same Adobe ID.
2. I don't have any way to deactivate Production Premium on the laptop because that computer thinks it is on a Creative Cloud license. So I can't deactivate, reinstall and do offline re-activation.
3. I have not used my main editing computer with Production Premium for a while as I have been working in the field with the laptop. Can I expect that when I start using it, it will come up the same issue?
4. I don't know how it would work with another Adobe ID, and how one might transfer licenses to a new account. I expect this is talking with Adobe support and working through it, but is this something others have done so that Adobe knows the issue and will be able to solve it?
5. Is Adobe apt to fix this problem so that customers can have both purchased software and subscription software in their main account?

Creative could fork over class-action settlement over exaggerated MP3 capacities, ne

https://www.creativehddmp3settlement.com/welcome.asp?
Couldn't fit those last two Oingo Boingo albums on your Zen when you thought you had enough space? Get ready for payback, because if you own a Creative Labs MP3 player made between May 5, 200 and April 30, 2008, you could be entitled to a class-action settlement over this very issue. The proposed settlement -- not the first of its kind -- will force Creative to "make certain disclosures regarding the storage capacity of its hard disc dri've MP3 players" and give a 50% discount on a new GB player or 20% off any item purchased at Creative's online store, if it's approved by the court. For its part, Creative denies any wrongdoing, but it looks like it's offering up the settlement to smooth thing over with consumers -- but you know it's going to fight the $900,000 requested by plaintiffs' attorneys in fees. Applications are due by August 7, 2008, so start digging up those serial numbers.

Saw that this morning.
IMHO the only one who wins are the lawyers.
I don't qualify for the 50% off a GB mp3 player (that isn't much capacity any more) and it isn't worth my time to save 20% off a Creative item purchased via their online store (that would just about bring the prices down to the Amazon level.)
This really is only the difference between how one calculates hard disk drive space (024 vs 000.) Anyone who's used a computer (or monitor) for any length of time at all is familiar with the argument. Their marketing should've caught this....

Why has Creative Cloud taken over licencing for Creative Suite 6?

My company purchased a licence for Creative Suite 6 Standard Design back in 2012. More recently we also bought a Creative Cloud subscription for another purpose. Now whenever we try to open Acrobat Pro X, or any of the CS6 applications they also tell us we can't use them because Creative Cloud is in use elsewhere. Why are these two things even connected? How can we decouple these licences?

I have just learn't that certain editions of Creative Cloud software (eg Adobe Illustrator) is different to the retail version. It has more functionality and has a higher version number.
Correct.
First question - are the files cross compatible so I can still open files of either version in either of the environments?
Yes 100% compatible.
Second question - Why are full price paying customers not getting the extra features?
Marketing.
Adobe wants everyone to join the Creative Cloud so they're progressively adding features to the Cloud versions to make the Cloud offerings more and more compelling until perpetual licensed customers submit.
I heard on Adobe TV on a web seminar that part of the reason is because its easier to apply updates to the versions on the creative cloud... which i thought was just utter rubbish.
Not easier, just quicker. In short, it's marketing again.
Adobe is simply trying to say that instead of inventing new features then collecting them and rolling them into a dot release or a .5 release, they can be progressively released via a Cloud update immediately i.e Cloud customers can get them earlier.
Convinced to join the Cloud yet?
