Decision to prefix the new components as Fx is final?

Is the decision to prefix the new components with Fx- final? It's really a show stopper for me. I understand that there are technical reasons for this move, but when I think about the matter I cannot but ponder that we must not forget that Flex is up for a tough battle against SilverLight for the developers hearts & minds , and it definitely feels much more natural to developers to think in terms of a < Button > and a < List > than to work with prefixed classes. It also saddens me to think that so many developers coming to Flex for the first time in 2010 and beyond will be forced to write annoying <FxThis> <FxThat> all the time for the sole reason that "back in 2008" there was something called Halo components, which they will never even happen to use.

"... though if there was a major uproar in the community [...] we'd certainly be open to it. "
Major uproar delivered!
Thanks for listening ;-)

Doh bootcamp vs Hack.. sorry i was just reading another thread(forum) about hackintosh. bootcamp is of course legal
so show me the light...?
so lets see
an Apple is a PC
your running Windows on the Apple
so do tell whats the difference from the Apple hardware vs a windows system?
lets see
DDR3 1600 (PC)
DDR3 1066 ECC Apple
Apple
no PCI slots (not really important much anymore but there are still many with PCI cards)
only 3 PCIe. for video it should not matter much. 1 raid card i capture device 1 Pro audio interface
PC has more of both.
Price Apple is far more.
other than that they are both PCs with a differnt OS (but you negated that with bootcamp)
now to windows on the Apple bootcamp is not without issues still cant turn off Cstate issues.
i didnt bother to benchmark an Apple vs PC with Adobe. (other than in house results not a publishable report)
and FC runs better on the older MP (08) than Nehalem.
one of my friends in the Audio biz has however for audio and the results for audio vs video are pretty much the same
http://www.dawbench.com/win7-v-osx-1.htm
next Apple i have on the bench i will try to run up a test (doesnt happen much anymore as we recommend a PC over Apple)

Flex builder 3 don't show new components

Hi,
I've installed flex builder 3 beta 3. The new components such
as the advanced datagrid don't show in the components window.
Actually they were showing but for some reasons they are gone now.
I also have flex builder 2 installed on the same pc, but it
shouldn't be an issue.
I've made sure in the preferences that flex builder 3 uses
the right sdk (3.0 beta 3)
Can someone help ?
Thanks

Yes I was definitely running 3.0. I've solved the problem by
reinstalling flex 3.
However sometimes I get a nasty crash when I open a component
in Design mode and when the Properties window of this component is
opened. Then Flex closes and I get a popup with error log. Will
post it next time I see it.
Overall it seems ok though, I'm already enjoying the advanced
datagrid :)

Questions about the new SBO2007 connection method

Hi all
Anyone who can clear up the following programs for me:
1 - With the new DI connection method multible add-ons can share the same DI-API connection (1 add-on = 80 MB, 2 add-ons = 81.5 MB and so on). But is this sharing user-specific or machine specific... Imagine 10 user on a terminal server all running only one add-on. Will those 10 instances of the same add-on share DI-API connections and in total use 93.5MB (80 + 91.5) or 800MB (1080)?
2 - Am I correct in assuming that the new connection method works when creating internal add-ons (running within the SBO client) or will external add-ons benefit in any way?
3 - Does the SAP add-ons allready use the new connection system?
4 - In the explaination of the new DI connect method the help file states "It is highly recommended to use XML format of the DI-API.".. What does this mean?... The connection itself does not seem to have any xml involved.

Hi Rasmus,
I haven't seen any official test results but here's what we have found so far:
1) The shared DI API resource is stored within the SAP Business One client executable. This means that this grows by 80MB during the first connection but stays the same size as other addons connect. The addons themselves typically now take up 10-15MB (ie like an addon that only uses the UI API). On a Citrix or Terminal Server, as each user has their own SBO executable, the DI API connection will take 80MB+ per user session (assuming all addons are connecting using this new method).
2) As far as I know, this new connection method is only available for applications that use the UI API to connect to the SBO client (the GetDICompany method is on the UI API company object and not part of the DI API).
3) The SAP Fixed Assets and Outlook Integration addons do not use the new connection method (tested on patch 35). The rest I don't know about as we don't typically use them here in NZ. It would be really useful for SAP to make an official statement on this topic as it would definitely influence my decisions on using the new method.
4) I'm not sure what they mean either :-\
The biggest problem I found with this new connection method is debugging. When writing an addon, each time I ran a new debug session, the SBO client executable would grow by 70-80MB as it created a new DI API connection. However, when the debug session ended, the SBO executable did not release the memory used. After 4-5 debug sessions, the SBO client was taking 1/2GB of memory and couldn't be closed. This meant I had to close and reopen SBO every 2-3 debug sessions, which was a bit of a pain. In the end I reverted to writing using the old connection method and changed it over as a last step. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or this is a weakness in the new connection method while developing.
I also read that SAP are advising that a shared DI API connection can lower performance in some cases.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Data plans in the new wireless world

I see an impending collapse of many peoples internet service approaching soon and very little discussion on the topic, so I decided to write this to help inform Verizon of some of its customers needs.
       What originally attracted me to Verizon was its effort to push beyond the big markets and reach all of America. Create a country where everyone is "connected". Join Verizon and we will take care of you no matter where you live. These are the ideas Verizon has pushed onto people over the years and I commend them on doing a very good job at reaching these goals. The issue is, they have acquired such a large customer base it is now creating problems. An excellent marketing tactic of wireless service providers was always to offer up unlimited data plans to attract people to their service and this used to create very little risk for the service provider because wireless data was slower the telegraph!! Cellular providers used to sell phones, now they sell computers. Have they adjusted to this new market accordingly?
       When you had a 3G phone or even back when it was 2G or 1XX paying extra for unlimited data was pointless. As Verizon's CFO recently pointed out "Unlimited is just a word" "people don't use near the data they think they do" this is exactly why they could profit from unlimited data in the past, because this was true. Have you ever tried to stream a hi-def movie on 3G service? you were lucky if it wasn't pausing to buffer every 10 secs, what did you do every time this happened, you stopped trying to watch it!! Therefore you didn't use the data required to stream that content. Now just when wireless technology is finally becoming fast enough to be useful or enjoyable, it is being shut down.
       The new 4G LTE services have finally made it possible to reach 8-10 MB download speeds on regular basis. You can stream a full 1080 hi-def Blu-ray quality movie with 7.1 surround sound if your internet connection speed is over 5 MB. This sounds great doesn't it, finally I can watch SyFy, Hulu or Vudu with my aircard. This is the problem Verizon is facing, because that one 90 minute movie from Vudu at 1080 hi-def just sucked up 5 GB!! No that was not a typo, full hi-def streaming video will push 4-5 GB in a couple hours. Verizon had to curtail this "excessive" data usage by reverting to tiered plans or "shared data" so with the new data plans that was a $50 movie, at that price you would once again stop watching it and not use the data required to stream that content.
       Verizon broadband could not handle this volume of data being used when people started getting 4G internet service, so they had no choice but to end unlimited plans or be faced with the reality that they could not support there millions of customers data usage. For most people this will not create a big issue because they probably still live somewhere that they have access to other internet services such as DSL, Cable, or the best at Fiber Optic. DSL and cable will usually have a plan that creates fast enough internet speeds for streaming video but you will have to pay for a premium service.
       This however does create a step backwards, in what seemed like a step forward for the rural community. 3G unlimited aircard was a great option for rural community's, finally offering them an affordable internet service that often could still play Netflix, as well as all the normal uses such as e-mail and browsing, although it would not stream a 1080 hi-def movie it could at times stream a standard-def movie. Now with unlimited going out the window all those people that thought it was going to be so great to upgrade to a 4G aircard and finally watch movies, quickly realized that wasn't going to happen and worse Verizon is showing signs of completely eliminating all unlimited data as they course through their contracts looking for legal ways to stop honoring them, and for those that they can not stop honoring they have started to "throttle" usage when it exceeds a certain amount usually around 2 GB a month. This is perfectly legal to do, almost all ISP's will do this this when you exceed a certain amount of data, the difference is when your ISP offers 8 MB connection speeds and throttles you down to 5 MB speeds because you use a lot of data, you never really notice it unless you download media instead of streaming it and your downloads seem to take longer then normal but it doesn't effect you enough to complain. When your internet speeds are 1-2 MB as they are with 3G service, throttling brings you down to 300-600 KBPS!! They will throttle your speed down so much that you can't do much of anything except e-mail and browsing, Netflix will not work anymore, so thinking you can stay with a 3G device and just keep what you have isn't an option. They are forcing everyone into new plans.
       In the past it was very hard to use 10 GB of data on a wireless carriers broadband because speeds were to slow to allow use of all the online media. Now it is very easy to use 60 GB a month if you like movies and online TV. (That is 60 GB without downloading any media just streaming it) Perhaps if we are lucky Verizon will once again return to the table and look for ways to help their rural customers without taking are internet away from us. If I could pay for DSL from my local phone company I would, but I do not even have a phone line tied to my house, and if I decided to get one it still would not have internet access. But due to Verizon's efforts in expanding there 4G service across the country as quickly as possible I do have excellent 4G wireless service available in my home. Just as I thought it was time to get a Verizon aircard and start watching movies again, they told me you will never be able to afford it.
      If Verizon can create a rural community data plan for users that have no other means to access the internet and and it doesn't cost $600 a month then I will happily buy it, and also understand that it cannot cost $30 a month either, but if people could get, Phone, Internet (with say 50 GB limit), TV (by tv I don't mean Verizon TV that I agree should be an addition to the bill, i mean the free hulu, syfy and payed netflix accounts that are accessible with any internet connection fast enough to stream), Movie Store in their living room (Vudu) all in one package I think that $200 a month is a reasonable price.
     Now all I can do is wait and see who calls first. If Verizon creates a new data plan that allows media streaming at a reasonable price ill buy it. If my Local phone company offers me high speed internet and phone first, ill buy that instead and throw my current $140 month Verizon bill in the trash when I end the contract. I will not have 2 phones, I only have a Verizon phone because I have no Land line in my home. So I guess the race is on to see who can maintain the rural community's business.

The New Card Design for the Barclays Ring.

I’m here to announce that the new card design has been finalized and it will be ready for new cardmembers in late July and existing cardmembers beginning in October. Here’s a quick recap of the very fun and innovative process that we went through together to co-create the next Barclaycard Ring card.
In 2014 we asked cardmembers in an open forum to describe what they liked and didn’t like about the design of their current Barclaycard Ring card. We received hundreds of comments and passed them along to our design team.
This resulted in the following plastic designs
Option 1.pngOption 2.png Option 3.png
Incorporating your feedback, the designers created a three dimensional view of the card designs, which we posted in the forum for more feedback. This round resulted in four unique plastic designs that were presented for an official vote.
Voting results.jpg
The winner, with 42% of the voting Ring cardmembers, was card design #1. We also noticed cardmember feedback regarding concerns about the font choice for the most popular card design. We took this feedback to the design team and they presented four more options to the internal team. We picked one and now it was time to see how these designs looked in reality. About 10 weeks later we got a “proof”, or an example of what the card would actually look like. And I will tell you that it did not look good. Luckily, one of the designers went out to visit the card production vendor. They worked with the design and the production process to get as close as possible to the original design.
And here it is:
C11_card_rRGB_RingMC_EMV.png
We hope you like it! Thanks to everyone who voiced their opinion and helped to shape the new design. And, yes, it is a chip card. (Interested in learning more about the Chip and Signature with PIN enabled technology? Click here for additional details.)
So who will get the new plastic and when?
Starting in October 2015 cardmembers who made at least one purchase in 2014 will automatically receive the new plastic in the mail. Your credit card number and the security code on the back will not change. However, if your expiration date is within a 3 year window, your new card will have a new expiration date. So you will need to remember to update any recurring billers, online merchants or digital wallets with the new date. Your old card will still be valid until sometime in early 2016.
Cardmembers who did not use the card to make a purchase in 2014 or became Barclaycard Ring cardmembers in 2015 will not be automatically re-issued the new card design. If you’d like the new card (with Chip technology), you can call the number on the back of your current Ring card after August 1st and request the new card design. Otherwise, you can wait until your current card expires and you will automatically receive the new card in the mail. We may also choose to automatically re-issue the cards in the future to cardmembers who still have the original orange card.
I hope all of that helps. Of course if you have any questions just leave it in the comments below. Thanks again for participating in the design of the new Barclaycard Ring card!

I'm apart of that community and I was shocked to see that this is all they could come up with. In todays market with the different plastics available this to me is very quaint. Not appealing and to think they had a committee and designers and all that... it's truely disappointing!

SharePoint 2013 Foundation Search - Change the admin components to the new WFE server

Hi,
We tried to move the Search Service Application from one server to another server which was newly joined in the Farm.
In this case,the Search Service in my App server - which was working earlier also did not work. I tried almost all Powershell scripts to stop the service, and i could not make it.
Please let me know, how to stop the search service in both servers and to run only in the new server that i have joined.
Also, we need to move all Search Admin components to the new server, and from then Search Index should work only in the new server and not the old one.
Kindly let me know the possibility how can this be achieved.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Karthikanandh,
If you want to stop the Search service in both servers and only run in the new server, then you can stop the service in Central Administration in both the two servers and start the service in new server.
Please go to Central Administration > System Settings > Manage service on server > change the server to the one that you need to stop the search service and then stop the search service.
To move the search admin component to another server, then you need to clone the active Search topology and move that component, and then then activate the topology and move the remaining components.

[svn] 4634: First part of glue code for allowing Halo components to use the new Text Layout Framework , in order to get functionality such as bidirectional text.

Revision: 4634
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-01-22 17:38:56 -0800 (Thu, 22 Jan 2009)
Log Message:
First part of glue code for allowing Halo components to use the new Text Layout Framework, in order to get functionality such as bidirectional text.
Background:
TLF is making this possible by implementing a TLFTextField class. It is a Sprite that uses TLF to implement the same properties and methods as the legacy TextField class in the Player. Thanks to the createInFontContext() bottleneck method in UIComponent, it can be used by a properly-written Halo component (such as those in Flex 3) without any modifications to the component.
Note: Text should render similarly -- but is unlikely to render identically -- when a component uses TLFTextField vs. TextField. The width and height may be different, affecting layout; text could wrap differently; etc. This is a fact-of-life based on the fact that TLF/FTE and TextField are completely different text engines.
Whether a Halo component uses TLF or not to render text will be determined in Flex 4 by a new style, textFieldClass. (Gumbo components always use TLF.)
TLFTextField is currently only partially implemented. It does not yet support scrolling, selection, editing, multiple formats, or htmlText. Therefore it can only be used for simple display text, such as a Button label.
Details:
The TextStyles.as bucket 'o text styles now includes a non-inheriting textFieldClass style. It can be set to either mx.core.UITextField or mx.core.UITLFTextField. These are the Flex framework's wrapper classes around the lower-level classes flash.text.TextField (in the Player) and its TLF-based workalike, flashx.textLayout.controls.TLFTextField.
The global selector in defaults.css currently sets it to mx.core.UITextField using a ClassReference directive. For the time being, all Halo components will continue to use the "real" TextField.
The new UITLFTextField is a copy of UITextField, except that it extends TLFTextField instead of TextField. This class has been added to FrameworkClasses.as because no classes in framework.swc have a dependency on it. It will get soft-linked into applcations via the textFieldClass style.
The TLFTextField class currently lives in a fourth TLF SWC, textLayout_textField.swc. This SWC has been added to various build scripts. The external-library-path for building framework.swc now includes all four TLF SWCs, because UITLFTextField can't be compiled and linked without them. However, since they are external they aren't linked into framework.swc.
Properly-written Halo UIComponents access their text fields only through the IUITextField interface, and they create text fields like this:
textField = IUITextField(createInFontContext(UITextField));
(The reason for using createInFontContext() is to support embedded fonts that are embedded in a different SWF.)
The createInFontContext() method of UIComponent has been modified to use the textFieldClass style to determine whether to create a UITextField or a UITLFTextField.
With these changes, you can now write code like
to get two Buttons, the first of which uses UITextField (because this is the value of textFieldClass in the global selector) and the second of which uses UITLFTextField. They look very similar, which is good!
Currently, both Buttons are being measured by using an offscreen TextField. A subsequent checkin will make components rendering using UITLFTextField measure themselves using an offscreen TLFTextField so that measurement and rendering are consistent.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

I am performing a clean install of OS X vs. 10.8.5 on a new internal hard drive. At the end of the installation process the progress bar stalls with a minute to go - error message "Can't download the additional components needed to install OS X" appears

At the end of the installation process (Clean install, new 500GB internal hard drive, formatted and partitioned, MacBook 13" Aluminum, late 2008) the progress bar stalls and eventually a drop down error message appears "Can't download the additional components needed to install OS X". I am using a USB 8 GB bootable flash drive. Any ideas?

Everytime I open a window in Firefox 4 beta 2 I get a messeage that says TypeError: Components.classes(cid) is undefined, when I click OK it opens up the new window. How can I fix this?

Everytime I open a window in Firefox 4 beta 2 I get a messeage that says TypeError: Components.classes(cid) is undefined, when I click OK it opens up the new window.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I hate the new Z10, handing it over to my wife

I am a Blackberry poweruser. I have Blackberry everywhere along with all accessoirs. The background is, that I am travelling with 4 phones, for every country I have businesses in one phone. I bought the Playbook, to have a quick online banking done and to bigscreen view my emails. When talking emails - I have overall 32 email accounts, most of them with complicated server settings and I was p***ed having to add them one by one (not all of them are working).
Now I bought the Z10, about which I read before and I was excited while waiting for it to arrive.
To make a long story short - I hate it.
The only thing, that migrated from my 9900 was my address book with 960 entries. Email accounts needed to be add manually (10 of the above).
- No password keeper (needed to download it separatly - why?)
- No free google maps (dont tell me about sideload)
- No "select all" function in messages (it does happen, that after a meeting I have to delete almost every message out of a hundred one by one (also dont remind me of the select multiple function)
- Blackberry Bridge - why having a Playbook with the Z10, when nothing but the internet connection is shared? I could read/write messages, tasks, calender, no I can do nothing. I don't really need the Playbook anymore, because it lost its main ability. Over my 9900 i had the full internet speed on my Playbook, over the Z10 i have literally 59 kb / s!
- I hated to download another app for the new OS - why is the desktop software still available when link is needed to get to make it work?
- The maps are available for half of the countries I am travelling in. No Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia?
- When sleeping I had my 9900 turned off and it went on for the alarm in the morning. When shutting down the Z10, there is no possibility to have the alarm bring the phone back on. So basically you need to turn the phone on, to get the alarm working, which should have worked 30 minutes ago.
- I can change the sound for let's say the telephone but there is only the one loudness - no raising sound available. No possibility to change sounds for each email account.
- Most of all - What the f**k happend to the perfectly working push mail? Don't tell me, that messages arrive faster than they did, because the don't. When deleting a message on the Z10, I need to do the same on the Playbook and on my PC(s). I know why - RIM thought "why having customers to get extra blackberry plans, when Apple doesn't do that? We could sell the new phone to anyone, even kids and housewifes" - Here is why i hate it - this is what made Blackberry big. Some time ago a friend asked me, what in particular is so good with Blackberry phones (she's a Samsung user) and I said it's the email possibilities. She said, that she'd also check her emails over her smartphone, then I said, that it was faster and more reliable. What can I tell her know? Maybe "Now I have the same s**t you have, but I paid for it a little more and have less apps available".
- When clicking BBM on the hub, you only get to see active chats, you need to enter the app from the menu, to get the contacts list.
Good things to say about that phone compairing to 9900 is the camera and its focusing, the calculator
My wife likes it (she also has a 9900). It's "cute" and it has linkedin app and she is using the phone only for private use, so she's getting it. Too bad she is not also a facebook, twitter and what not user. Then she would be thrilled about this smart(?)phone of RIMs.
If RIM is going to concentrate on OS10, forgetting about professional users and forgetting about OS7, that this will be my last Blackberry phone and the last for my companies - and we have over 60 of those. (And no, we don't use BES).
Sorry for the chaotic thread, but I am just expressing my anger.

they thought moving away from BIS was a good idea? I just dont get it.
Consider...
In some regions of the world, BIS was included at no additional cost. In other regions, BIS included unlimited BIS data usage. In still other regions, BIS is an add-on cost on top of the also-required "normal" data plan.
Example -- in the USA, there are no low-cost unlimited BIS plans. The lowest cost BIS plan I could find was US$50/month, and included very limited data usage (250MB, I think). By abandoning BIS and allowing services to function via a "normal" data plan, I am able to operate my Z10 for a mere US$30/month which includes 5GB of 4G data (throttled after that level). So, for me, abandoning BIS actually allowed me to have a fully functional BB again where, when BIS was required, the monthly cost factor made that prohibitive.
While we cannot know the true "insider" information that surrounded their decisions, for some in the world BB10 will allow them to come back to BB where it was previously not affordable. In other regions, things will be a different trade-off. But it's all moot anyway...it is what it is, with benefits for some, and losses of function for others. And that result is actually pretty typical in the world...businesses must make decisions, and it is fully known that it's impossible to make 100% of the population happy.
Good luck!

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

On my old iTunes sofwear iTune store would not open. I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded the new updates and installed it. Now I get a message that said " The file iTunes Libary.itl" cannot be read becouse it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

Now what?

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Performance with the new Mac Pros?

I sold my old Mac Pro (first generation) a few months ago in anticipation of the new line-up. In the meantime, I purchased a i7 iMac and 12GB of RAM. This machine is faster than my old Mac for most Aperture operations (except disk-intensive stuff that I only do occasionally).
I am ready to purchase a "real" Mac, but I'm hesitating because the improvements just don't seem that great. I have two questions:
1. Has anyone evaluated qualitative performance with the new ATI 5870 or 5770? Long ago, Aperture seemed pretty much GPU-constrained. I'm confused about whether that's the case anymore.
2. Has anyone evaluated any of the new Mac Pro chips for general day-to-day use? I'm interested in processing through my images as quickly as possible, so the actual latency to demosaic and render from the raw originals (Canon 1-series) is the most important metric. The second thing is having reasonable performance for multiple brushed-in effect bricks.
I'm mostly curious if anyone has any experience to point to whether it's worth it -- disregarding the other advantages like expandability and nicer (matte) displays.
Thanks.
Ben

Thanks for writing. Please don't mind if I pick apart your statements.
"For an extra $200 the 5870 is a no brainer." I agree on a pure cost basis that it's not a hard decision. But I have a very quiet environment, and I understand this card can make a lot of noise. To pay money, end up with a louder machine, and on top of that realize no significant benefit would be a minor disaster.
So, the more interesting question is: has anyone actually used the 5870 and can compare it to previous cards? A 16-bit 60 megapixel image won't require even .5GB of VRAM if fully tiled into it, for example, so I have no ability, a priori, to prove to myself that it will matter. I guess I'm really hoping for real-world data. Perhaps you speak from this experience, Matthew? (I can't tell.)
Background work and exporting are helpful, but not as critical for my primary daily use. I know the CPU is also used for demosaicing or at least some subset of the render pipeline, because I have two computers that demonstrate vastly different render-from-raw response times with the same graphics card. Indeed, it is this lag that would be the most valuable of all for me to reduce. I want to be able to flip through a large shoot and see each image at 100% as instantaneously as possible. On my 2.8 i7 that process takes about 1 second on average (when Aperture doesn't get confused and mysteriously stop rendering 100% images).

Decision to prefix the new components as Fx is final?
