Do you /did you know...?

Ok, I made this little tid-bit a question by its title... so, anyway...
Whilst on Desktop, > Top-Left, come down, Switcher Bar is out & all currently, active APPs are showing thumbnails... Lf Clk on said Bar & that holds. In other words, allowing one to view all live APPs and
the Desktop simultaneously. Once the Desktop is clicked the Switcher Bar drops (back), until touched, again, of course.
Just a wee thing; most are, likely, already, aware of this.

BTW, need it be said but, entries of this ilk are just facts about what IS and meant as general info. Some things some people may not be aware and some people may appreciate the knowledge. Not everyone knows the 'How Tos' or what is available
w/out things being pointed out to them. That is why this & other items are disseminated, to educate.
These things are not mentioned w/ any bias. They are meant to advocate anything in particular. They are meant to stir a debate or provide an opportunity to scoff @ something.
Nor do such things relate to individual appeal, amount of use or perceived need. They are just factual, physical, technics available and some folks may have never yet discovered their existence.
What or how much they do w/ such Operational Tid-bits, after the fact, is beyond the rational of an
FYI.
The was no opinion or recommendation inherent, strictly, no strings attached, mention of items all people may not, already, have learned or even known of them. Not to argue or urge, merely to teach.
(What I, personally, do w/ something or think of it is not relevant to merely, purely, telling them about it)

"did you mean ..."

i keep waiting for apple to ...
.. in the google toolbar (i use windows at work), if you type "harry pooter" by mistake (for example), google asks you "did you mean: harry potter" and if you did and you click on the new search value, it updates the toolbar, replacing "pooter" with "potter," (for example), so the next time you search from the toolbar, it looks for "potter".
i keep waiting for apple to build that correction feature into safari. it's VERY handy, especially for a sloppy typist like me.

I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car pato caa パトカア　they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

HI Carol,
Thanks for writing. It looks like you had selected your work experience to be visible to the public, so this is why it was visible online. Now I see that you have your work experience listed as private (other than what you have on your profile), so this should no longer be the case. Let me know if you're still seeing this searh result and what exact google term you searched for it to come up.
Thanks, talk to you soon!

Did you know how to link the text in two or more text boxes?

Did anyone know how to link the text in two or more text boxes in Pages 5.0? Thanks for your answer.
Qualcuno sa come collegare il testo in due o più caselle di testo nella versione 5.0 di Pages. Grazie per le vostre risposte.

It's just one of the many, many features that have been eliminated or changed. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store.
If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.

Did you know how easy it is to void your warranty?

Many things are in the terms and conditions but I feel some need to be brought to the attention of the buyer,in Particular this one!
Did you know that if the screen gets a scratch ,the warranty becomes void!!
so even if there is a problem with the device itself that has nothing to do with you,if you have a scratch on the screen they wont repair it,claiming that there is damage to the device and the warranty is void!!
Holy GOD,im shocked to find this out,but this is from Apple itself! A scratch on the screen means you have NO COVER!! Do me a favour and pass this on,as Im sure others will be as surprised as me to find this out!
Quote from Apple when I asked if a scratch to the screen would mean I have no cover
"Angelo:
Yes, if there is any damage to the device the warranty is voided.".

Not necessarily true as your post is too general. The warranty does not cover cosmetic damage, so a scratched screen will not be repaired/replaced to fix the scratch. However, Apple will determine, on a case by case basis, if the cosmetic damage actually indicates a cause for any functional or other hardware defect or improper function.
You can indeed bring in a cosmetically flawed device for service under warranty for defective components. The only time cosmetic damage will void the warranty entirely is if it is determined to indicate accidental damage, abuse or mis-use of the device in some way as to void the warranty. But that is decided on a case by case basis, and there is no blanket rule governing such instances.
You can read your warranty here - https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty (pick your country from the bottom right flag symbol). In the USA, for an iPad with retina display, the main paragraph covering the issue you raise would be:
"This Warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries or protective coatings that are designed to diminish over time, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the Apple Product outside Apple’s published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”); (g) to an Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Apple Product, or if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product."
Note the separate statements - that cosmetic damage itself is not covered, nor is damage caused by accident, abuse or misuse. However, whether anything falling into the former criterion actually constitutes voidance of the warranty by the latter criterion will be determined by Apple when you present an item for warranty service. One thing does not automatically imply the other.

Did you know about "Arbitration and Mediation" FAQ?

I have just made a discovery that many of you frustrated Verizon customers will be very interested in knowing about. Did you know that you can type in legal action in the search verizon.com box and you will find a category called "Arbitration & Mediation" FAQ? For those of you, like myself who have been dealing with months and months of issues with Verizon and you are getting nowhere, you might check this out. It is very interesting.This may have saved me hours and hours of time and some over the top emotion that our situation has caused.

Proper names are known. But product names will not be - nor will acronyms.

Did you know this about bridge?

I'm just curious if I'm the only one who is this slow... :p
But did you know you could use Bridge to search your computer for images by dimensions? Man, I spent sooo much time this morning trying to find a way to 'trick' Windows into giving me a search by dimensions option. :D
Afterwards, I wasted even
more time googling for utilities or tools with that feature. :\ Then it hit me: I remembered seeing all kinds of neat bits of image information in Bridge last time I used it.
And there it was, in the "find" menu... lol

You are absolutely right, it is good business practice to check out the offerings from a company before you show or give it to your customers.
I guess I just assumed that there would be a cut-out on the front cover of the Aperture books, since the soft cover books I ordered from iPhoto did have the front cover cut-out.
My question, however, is where in the description of the Aperture hard cover book does it state that the cover photo is pasted on ? It is difficult to tell how the front cover is constructed from the photos on the Aperture web site.
...... I may have missed it.
A lesson learned!
Thanks for your comments.

Did you know StackFinder?

Googling I have found this http://stackfinder.snoopconsulting.com Did you know it? What do you think about it? Is reliable?

Did you know? - 2

A follow-up to my first "Did you know?".
Did you know....
That when you are getting a call you can turn the phone screen down on a flat surface to silence the ringer?!
That by default EVERY new number you dial gets saved to Contacts?! To disable this select Phone on home screen. Then click Menu--> Phone Settings and uncheck "Save to contacts"
That there is a feature called "Quiet ring on pickup" on our phones? When the phone rings and you pick it up (not answer it), it starts reducing the ringer volume. The downside to this is that if you are walking around with the phone in your pocket on a busy street or the mall, you will not hear it ring!!! To disable it, select Menu--> Settings-->Sound and uncheck "Quiet ring on pickup". Some may find this useful, it annoyed the hell out of me though!
Hope someone finds this useful...

i actually love the quiet ringer feature. i do have it set to ring and vibrate though....that way if it's in my pocket and the movement triggers the ringer to decrease in volume, i can still feel it vibrate.

DID YOU KNOW?? - ABOUT ADVANCED COMPONENTS IN THE PALETTE??

<br>
Hi All,
DID YOU KNOW??
The IDE ships with the following Advanced Components in the Palette.
These advanced components are a set of JavaServer Page markup tags for advanced users. The components have no visual appearance and are useful to developers with experience in JSP and JavaServer Faces technologies.
* Encoding
* Faces Action Listener
* Faces Converter
* Faces Validator
* Faces Value Change Listener
* Faces Verbatim
* Link
* Load Bundle
* Markup
* Meta
* Parameter
* Script
Lets look at MARKUP component in more detail.
The MARKUP Component
You can drag the Markup component Markup component icon from the Palette's Advanced category to the Visual Designer to create a standard HTML tag. The Markup component enables you to insert HTML elements into the JSP page in places that HTML is not permitted.
When you drop this component on a page in the Visual Designer, you cannot see it on the page until you set the tag property. You can see it in the Outline window and you can select it there to edit its properties in the Properties window.
Use the tag property to specify the type of HTML element to insert. For instance, to insert an <hr> tag, set the tag property to hr with no angle brackets and select the singleton property .
To provide compliance with XHTML, if the HTML element you are inserting is a singleton element, you must specify the singleton property, which causes a trailing /> to be generated in the rendered HTML. For example, the <br> element is a singleton element that must be rendered as
to make it XHTML compliant.
If you want to specify HTML attributes in addition to id and style for the element you are inserting, use the extraAttributes property.

We would like to know the following from you :-
1) Are you using these Advanced Components in applications you are building? If so How and Where?
2) Did you face any challenges while using them?
3) Did you find any special usages/scenarios for using these components?
Thanks for all your inputs and for joining in the discussion.

DID YOU KNOW?? - ABOUT DATE TIME CONVERTERS??

Hi All,
DID YOU KNOW??
That the Creator IDE provides a set of converters that you can use to convert component data. If your input field is for numbers, then you most likely need a converter. Converters are also good for formatting dates, times, and currency values. The standard converters, which you can use are located in the Converters section of the Components Palette.
The Date Time Converter
A Date Time Converter Converts between java.lang.String values in your component properties and data types of java.util.Date. The conversion usually applies to the property of a component used to display values and to pick up values entered by users, such as the text property of a Text Field component.
An example is binding a JavaServer Faces component to to a database column of type DATE. When you bind a component, the IDE normally identifies the data type for you and sets the appropriate converter when you establish a binding to the value property. However, you can also add this converter manually by setting the component's converter property.
* Note: If you are using an Oracle database, use the SQL Timestamp converter instead.

We would like to know the following from you :-
1) Why and How are you using Converters in applications you are building?
2) Did you face any challenges while using them?
3) Did you find any cool ways of using these or build any cool custom converters?
4) Any feedback you might want to share about converters to make it easier in using them.
Thanks for all your inputs and for joining in the discussion.

did you know that sqlTimestamp converter returns value of java.sql.Date type if you are using sun's oracle jdbc driver. It will return the correct type if you use oracle's jdbc driver. Not sure why this happen, though. Bug?

DID YOU KNOW ?? - Number Converters?

Hi All,

Converters are also good for formatting dates, times, and currency values. The standard converters, which you can use are located in the Converters section of the Components Palette.
The Number Converter
Is a type of converter that Converts between java.lang.String values in your component properties and data types of java.lang.Number. The conversion usually applies to the property a component uses to display values and to pick up values entered by users. For example, the Text Field component uses the text property for this purpose.
The Number Converter returns a Long if possible (within the range [Long.MIN_VALUE, Long.MAX_VALUE] and with no decimals), otherwise a Double. If you need the converter to return a numerical type other than Long or Double, or you need to narrow the choice to a specific type. The other lists of converters to choose from include Big Decimal Converter, Integer Converter, Long Converter, Float Converter, Long Converter, Short Converter and Double Converter.
When you bind a component, the IDE normally identifies the data type for you and sets the appropriate converter when you establish a binding to the value property. However, you can also add a converter manually by setting the component's converter property.
We would like to know the following from you :-
1) Why and How are you using Converters in applications you are building?

I'm having problems converting from text input with a NumberConvertor back to text. I'm trying to take a pay amount, annualize it (x * 24), and convert it back to text for a database query. I got the following to work, but is there a better way?
Input field is "grossPay", output is "apay".
public String button1_action() {
Number n = (Number) grossPay.getValue();
float f = n.floatValue() * 24;
apay.setText("" + f);
return null;
}

Do you /did you know...?
