Do you feel a quality difference between PC and ipod?

When you play music on very good headphones... eg. sennheiser HD series... do you feel a big difference between playing a 128 or 256 kbps file on PC versus on ipod? I think I do, but I may be imagining it, or it may just be because of equalizer settings. Thanks!

It doesn't work well because the Mac hardware itself is different from what is found in any other Intel-based computer. Even the CPU's & support chips are not off-the-shelf Intel parts but variants optimized for Macs that are not available to other computer makers or to DIY enthusiasts.
This is probably why for a time in 2007 the 'fastest Windows notebook on earth' was a MacBook Pro, as tested by PC World, a fact touted for a while in Apple TV ads. (It lost that title to a more conventional Wintel laptop about a month later, but the new champ cost over $5000, had "almost nonexistent" battery life, & weighs over 11 pounds, which should give you some idea of the advantages an Intel-Apple collaboration has over the competition.)

Sorry can you explain what is difference between cellular and cellular (MM)

The MM or Millenium Media according to what I can find, refers to the CDMA variation of the Cellular iPad for Verizon Networks.
The non MM version is for GSM carriers like AT&T.

Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?

Hi,
Can you tell me some differences between R2 and R3 systems?
I guess R2 is used only for mainframe systems some time back. But i dont know why we prefered R3 over R2.
Please clarify this!
Thanks,
Venkatesh.R.

SAP R/3 is
Client server
3 tier
Presentation
Application
Database
Relatively hardware and database independent
ABAP/4 applications runs on application servers.
Dispatcher, shared memory, gateway, work processes are major components of an application server.
SAP R/3 offers
Comprehensive suite of integrated applications meeting the needs of most business
Best practice process design
Ability to configure to
Industry sector
Unique business requirements
In a R/2 System - it is a 2 Tier System based on Mainframe Systems with Intelligent terminals
R/3 is based 3 tier Client Server architechture and supports the R/2 system as well.
R/3 Middleware -
Client server
Uses underlying relational databases
Oracle
SQL server
Ingress
Sybase
Its graphical user interface
Sap GUI
hence R/3 is preffered over R/2 systems because they support Client Server Architecture which is easily configurable,scalable and can integrate with ERP systems and integrate with SOA or Web based Apps.

Print quality difference between iphoto and aperture...?

when ordering books, is there a print quality difference between using iPhoto and Aperture? or are they sent to the same lab?
it's possible i may have some setting wrong, but when i order a book using iphoto, i never really feel the quality is that great. it's good, i just feel it could be a lot better. the print quality sort of reminds me of newsprint, albeit high quality newsprint. similar sized prints made at home on my basic 3-in-1 printer look better.
thanks...

Previews are what you view on your display. When you import a photo into Aperture (and I'm pretty sure iPhoto as well), your computer automatically generates a preview for quick viewing. The original images are stored in your library, but it is the preview that you see.
In Aperture, you are able to set the size and quality of these previews. When sharing photos between Aperture and iPhoto, the process is as follows:
Let's say that your images are stored in Aperture, but you also want to be able to view them in iPhoto without taking up too much room on your hard drive. Essentially, if you were to import the originals into iPhoto as well, you would be storing two exact, yet separate copies of the same image on your hard drive. As you are aware, with large images (whether JPEG's, and especially RAW) this would put quite a tax on your storage capacity after not too long.
So, you have your images in one or the other (in this case Aperture), but you want to play around with them in iPhoto. What you can do, is open iPhoto, go to the File menu and then select, Show Aperture Library. This will open a window with all of the contents of your Aperture Library. You can then drag any images you want into iPhoto . The only thing is, you are not dragging the original JPEG's, but rather, the previews of those images. If you have those previews set to a lower quality (again for capacity concerns), you will only have lower quality and lower detailed images in iPhoto. These images might not be ideal, or even suitable for printing high quality prints. The previews that you generate in Aperture though can be adjusted to be extremely high quality with no size limits.
My thinking was that since you mentioned Aperture, it sounded like you had experience with working with it and with ordering a photo book through Aperture. I guess you were saying that you ordered via iPhoto, weren't happy with the quality and were wondering if Aperture created books were better.
Anyway, if this is the case, I cannot answer that for you. I have never ordered a book through Aperture. If the quality of your images is good, you should be able to get a decent product no matter where you order it from. There is not doubt that the materials used and the print shop that does the work makes a difference, but if your images are good, you should still get a decent product through iPhoto. Perhaps iPhoto isn't the way to go though if you have had poor experiences with them.
If you haven't used Aperture yet, I would highly recommend it though aside from the photo book aspect of this thread. It is a stellar product.
I hope this helps.

Quality Difference Between Source and Program Monitors

Hi,
Hopefully somebody might be able to shed some light on my problem... I am working with a QT file in PP CS5 which is an animation created in AE CS5.
File Details:
Type: QuickTime Movie
File Size: 507.4 MB
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Depth: 24
Frame Rate: 25.00
Total Duration: 00:01:00:00
Average Data Rate: 8.5 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Now when I view the footage in my Source with window (at 100%) it looks nice and crisp, bright and vibrant. When I view it in the Program monitor (at 100%), at both pre and post render stages the footage looks jagged, pixelated and much less vibrant, I've also noticed a slight colour shift as well.
I'm pretty new to PP CS5 - sorry if this is something really obvious or basic that I have overlooked!, but hopefully someone can help me out!
Many Thanks,
Neil.

Neil,
The Source Monitor is a simple player (as is the tiny player window in the Project Panel), and plays directly from the AV file on the HDD, where the Program Monitor is displaying from the Timeline, and takes into consideration any decompression, any Effects, etc.. There are also several settings in the Program Monitor, that can affect the display, such as Quality (try on Highest), and whether one is displaying 1/2, 1/4, etc. Resolution. What are all of the settings in your Program Monitor.
Also, what form of MPE do you have enabled, and what is the make/model of your video card? At the same time, you might want to list your video driver number/date.
Good luck,
Hunt

The difference between iPhone and iPod earphones with mic ?

What is the difference between the Apple iPhone Headset with Microphone and the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic ?

The iOS just WORKS as it should and is not glitchy at all like my experience has been with Android.
I had 6 Droid X's since laundh day on July 15th, and my wife has had 4 Droid Increidble's since she got her phone around that same time - and that one had been out for a few months before she got it even, so the "initial bugs" should have been worked out by then as there were a couple software updates to the phone (not even the 2.2 update I am talking about - just 2.1 updates to fix bugs) before she even got it.
And, that's another difference.....whenever there is a software update for the iPhone you get it IMMEDIATELY as there is no "hold" by carriers to tailor it to their own needs, etc., like there is with Android.
Good point about the updates, I believe the Fascinate just got the update that's been out for months already.

Quality differences between iDVD and DVD Pro

Are there any differences in viewing quality between using iDVD or DVD pro?
I like using iDVD when I don't need a lot of menues.
Thanks for answers.
Robert

What I need to know if it is a dramatic different in quality that I should use DVD Pro instead of iDVD.
If you want a DRAMATIC improvement in quality, shoot sharp, high quality content like Hollywood (usually on film) and have it compressed by high quality hardware encoders.
There is a good reason Hollywood DVDs look better than iDVD/DVD Studio Pro DVDs.

Image quality difference between timeline- and clip monitors

I've just captured dv into fcp4.5 and got surprised that I got the unrendered red line indication in the timeline when dragging it down from the clip monitor.
However, I rendered it but in timeline viewer the quality was bad like it was a field error. Contures were uneven etc.
The video in clip monitor has perfect quality.
I wish to find out a solution with this to learn something from it, rather than just re-install FCP wich normally puts things right.
Big thanks for advice /Erik
G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1.8GB RAM

Thanx Jim, the compression was for some reason changed to none, now I changed it back to DV-PAL.
I suppose this compression doesn't affect the final export?
If I'd export with the DV-PAL compression (Ialways export with none) would that degenerate the video again or just read in the same trax so to speak?

Quality difference between Windows and Mac

Well, that's the problem:
The same song, (Skull and Crossbones by Klaus Badelt), played under my Mac partition or under my Windows partition is sounding different.
I thought the speakers were broken, but it's not that. Under the Mac iTunes, it sounds horrible, it's distorted and compressed. Equalizer is set the same (Classical), the file is the same, same machine, same application (iTunes 7.6.2), everything is the same. Except the library size. Under Mac it's 13.4 GB, under Widnows only a 100 MB...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Neither version of iTunes will make jewel cases.

Song volume difference between iTunes and iPod

I changed the volume of a few songs that were too loud or too weak when playing in iTunes. Now the volume is fine when playing in iTunes.
But when I tranfer my songs to my iPod mini, the songs where I boosted the volume are WAY TOO LOUD, and the songs where I lowered the volume are WAY TO SILENT !!
It seems that iPod mini interpretes the volumes in a different scale than on iTunes...
PS. Don't tell me to use the automatic volume control, because it's not fine enough to be useful...

"what if i dont have a mac?"
Buy one? (sorry, couldn't resist) : )
I have only ever used mp3gain on Windows, and apparently it now supports AAC files also (as a Beta version).
That's the only one I have personal experience of.

Volume difference between iTunes and iPod?

I use MP3Gain so that all my songs are the same volume. Whenever I play music in iTunes everything is the same volume like it should be, but when I listen to my iPod the songs are all their original volumes (before they were equalized) and therefore their volumes are all over the board. Anybody know how I can make the iTunes and iPod volume the same?

Is Sound Check turned on in iTunes? It needs to be on in iTunes and the iPod in order for the iPod to use it.

Difference between BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP

Hi experts,
Could you point out the difference between BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP in SRM? What is its significance both in classic and extended classic scenario?
Thanks,
Madhur

Hi,
CLEAN_REQREQ_UP:
It checks whether the backend documents (namely-PR/PO/RES) have been created in the backend systems. Deletes obsolete table entries in SRM as well as updates document numbers in the Shopping Cart. You can't process the SC in SRM until this updae is complete.
BBP_GET_STATUS_2:
It ensures that the information on the back end documents is upto date. Retrieves the updated information from the BE systems (for exaple-it retrieves PO number after it was converted from a PR)
Above reports are mandatory both both Classic and ECS.
Regards,
GM

Regional Settings differences between 2008 and 2012

Hi There,
Can anyone explain why some of the regional setting details have changed with Win 2012?
Example: Dutch (Belgium) - nl-BE
The 'Digital Grouping Symbol' has changed from a DOT to a WHITESPACE.
2008 - €1.000,00 whereas 2012 - €1 000,00
If the settings are changed on the servers will they persist after OS updates etc?
Rgds,
Frank

Hi Vivian,
I see no reference in the KB article to modifications for the CET timezone nor any reference to the resolution of culture format info discrepancies.
A further issue is that the active regional settings on our PRD servers will be set to United States and it would appear that any modification to the Belgium locales (i.e. nl-BE, fr-BE) are not persisted once you switch to United States as the
active setting.
The knock on effect of this is that for our PRD web-applications (which are active across many regions), we have to write code to override the OS information. .NET uses the OS info to populate its Culture information.
Could you confirm if the differences between 2008 and 2012 are the result of a bug or are the changes planned? Based on communication with some of our customers in Belgium, they are of the opinion that the 2008 (and Win 2003) settings are per their expectations.
I really do not what to have to handle these situations across our application landscape and am sure that other people with globalized applications will also hit problems.

Difference between Flow and FlowN

Hi,
can you please tell me difference between flow and flowN
Thanks
Nirmal

see : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28981/parallel.htm
flow will make use of a predefined (by you) amount of branches, with flowN you can make the amount of branches dynamic
so lets say we have
getUserDetails
getAddressDetails
now you can use flow, create 2 branches and do the call to both methods in each branch.
let's say you receive a list of customers in your service interface. Now you can loop over with for-each of every customer and sequential do logic like getCustomerDetails in the loop, or ...you create a flowN and N will be the count of the customers in the list.
After this you will get N parallel branches which will do getCustomerDetails (instead of the other sequential looping)
so flowN is the dynamic variant which will create N branches based on the counter-field you base your expression on

What is the difference between ntp and ctssd ?

hello everyone
could you please describe the difference between ntp and ctssd? which one should be used?
thanks
John

ntp is OS level service which synchronize the system clock with a remote server over the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
CSSD oracle processes (Cluster Services Synchronization Daemon) monitor the health of RAC nodes employing two distinct heart beats: Network heart beat and Disk heart beat. Healthy nodes will have continuous network and disk heartbeats exchanged between the nodes.
