Feedback for improvement

Agree with others on the board, font too small, color contrast makes it much harder to read, too much info displayed, bar covers way too much of the screen.
At least make these issues user configurable.
IMG 1.9 has made navigating FIOS TV more of a chore rather than a useful tool to improve TV viewing.

Is there a place to offer feedback for improving OSX?

This forum is for "general constructive feedback about how the Discussions system is operating or how it may be improved" but what about a forum for general constructive feedback about how the Mac OS may be improved?
Does such a forum exist?

This isn't a forum for that purpose, but Apple provides the Mac OS X feedback form. You will not receive a response to your feedback, but your feedback is sent to the people who can use it.

Customer feedback to Adobe for improvements to PSE

What mechanisms exist for customers to provide feedback to Adobe regarding suggestions and requests for improvements to Photoshop Elements? While I have been satisfied with the changes that have been made from PSE4 through PSE8, there are a number of changes I'd like to see in the next version to make it better suited to my needs - mostly in the Organizer, in regard to tags and captions.

Thanks for providing the link. However, the page that is loaded into Internet Explorer 8 (running on a 64-bit Windows 7 laptop) locks up and refuses to even scroll. I have also noticed this phenomen when attempting to use the PSE 7 or 8 Help facility. While I accept the fact that PSE 7 & 8 weren't designed for this system, I don't understand how any webpage can lock up IE8.
Should I submit my suggestions for improvements to PSE8 on this Forum?

[Ask & Note] Feedback for BlackBerry 10

Hi,
I have some feedback for blackberry team but I don't know where to post it..
So I'll just post it here and please let me know if this room is not the place for my post.. Thanks..
I'm now using BB10 (Q10) and have some feedback for blackberry, so I hope this feedback can be used to improve BB10 features and also increase the easy to use and popularity of BB10
Here is the list:
1. Auto suggestion for email address (To/CC/BCC). Here I'd experienced that this features is useful and also very much annoying, why? because the list is come from the recent email address that we use to send and also from email address that have send email to us including the SPAM email (if coming to our BB Inbox), my suggestion is to make some feature/menu for user to have option for clean-up the list of email suggestion or user can delete some email in the list if they feel that email is not necessary to be there (like we will never send email to DoNotReply email from some company/domain).
2. Recent Updates in BBM. I'm one of some users that not using 'Recent Updates' feature in BBM, and this feature is one of the reason why my BB battery drain so fast.. Correct there is option to turn off the 'Recent Updates' but the way is so much not user friendly, I must tap and hold each and every one in my contact list updates and hide their updates from my BBM, why not just put one option in setting for turn off ALL Updates (like u have in old BBM)? I think it will be more acceptable in this world compared to hide one by one (imagine if you have more than 1000 contacts in your BBM) and you must do it every time you do complete clean firmware upgrade.
3. Mobile Network vs Wifi. I don't know this is just happen in my BB or other's too. My experience is, if I was connected to a wifi network and turned off my wifi, the connection supposed to be from Mobile Network, but what happened in my device is, the connection just shown E / 3G without BB logo (means no connection to Blackberry Service), it's happen until I manually turn off the Mobile Network and turn it on again or change my Network from 2G to 3G only vice versa. Please do check about this problem.
so far that's the feedbacks from me, please let me know if there is some mistake in my post..
Thanks a lot..
I hope Blackberry will grown up again and more bigger than before..
Best Regards and Thanks,
Hartawan

LSO feedback for test

Hello,
After the user completes an online test in the content player it is possible
to show feedback with information - % achieved.
But is it possible to hide the questions and only show the feedback??
Regards,
Hubert

Hubert,
If I understand your question, I don't see a way to do it (at least in LSO 300). In the Feedback level field for Test Attributes, we choose "Test". That gives the overall feedback for the test, but also displays the questions with the tester's responses (it doesn't show the actual answers unless you select "Answer" in the Feedback level field).
If you select "No Feedback", you suppress the questions, but the tester doesn't get any feedback at all (about pass versus fail).
You've identified a good improvement which SAP should make in the Test Author (unless they already have in LSO 600)...

Suggestion for Improving Number

Hello Oracle Java community,
I've recently encountered some difficulties using the abstract class java.lang.Number, and have a suggestion for improvement.
I'm writing a class that computes statistical information on a list of numbers - it would be nice to not couple this class to Integer, Double, BigDecimal, or any other wrapper by using generics. I saw that there is a nice superclass that all Number objects inherit from.
I came up with:
public class Statistics<T extends Number> {
private List<T> data;
// statistical data that i wish to find and store, such as median, mean, standard dev, etc
public synchronized void setData(List<T> data) {
this.data = data;
if (this.data != null && !this.data.isEmpty()) calculateStatistics();
private void calculateStatistics() {
// Welcome to instanceof and casting hell...
h4. It would be nice to have richer functionality from the Number class, say to do mathematical operations with them or compare them.
h4. After all, in the real world it is possible to do so.
h4. Real numbers are much like BigDecimal. Why not take the idea of BigDecimal, and make that the parent of Integer, BigInteger, Double, Short, Byte, Float (I'm probably forgetting a few)? All of those are limited forms of real numbers. It would make comparison between Number datatypes easy, would probably remove all of that duplicated arithmetic code between all of the children of Number, and also allow Numbers to be used in powerful generic ways. The parent/replacement of BigDecimal could even be named RealNumber, which stays true to its math domain.
As a side note, I'm solving this problem by taking an initial step to convert the List<whatever type of Number that the user enters> into a List<BigDecimal> by getting the toString() value of each element when cast as a Number.
private List<BigDecimal> convertData(List<T> data) {
ArrayList<BigDecimal> converted = new ArrayList<BigDecimal>();
for (T element : data) {
converted.add(new BigDecimal(((Number) element).toString()));
return converted;
Criticism is always welcome.
Thanks for your time and thoughts.

How compareTo() came into existence is from Comparable interface. As I understand, Comparable came into existence since Collections API has sorting functions - which needs to be run with a matching Comparable object that knows how to determine which element is larger than the other (not limited to objects representing numbers, you might sort a list of Persons). Hence, compareTo() is not solely meant for the comparison of numbers. Existence of the method in BigDecimal is just one case.
Subclasses can override the equals() method, but that cannot be implemented in a cleaner manner and leads to a very poor design. For example, you might want to compare an Integer and a Float. So the Integer class's equals() method need to have some if-else structure to determine the other type and then compare. Same holds true for the Float class's equals() method as well. Ultimately, Everything becomes a mess. All subclasses of RealNumber needs to know about all other subclasses of RealNumber. And you will not be able to introduce new subtypes and expect the equals() method to work correctly.
To avoid this, you need to depend on a single representation form for all types of numbers. If that's the case, you might just live with something like BigDecimal and not use Byte, Float, Integer,... (which we kind of do in some cases - for example to represent monetary amounts). So we can live without Byte, Float, Integer,...
Then we need some utility classes that would contain some number type specific functions to work with primitives. So we will also have Byte, Float, Integer... unrelated to BigDecimal.
Clearly, the wrapper types are there not because of the need to represent real world number types, but because of the need to represent computer domain number types. Hence, they have been organized not according to relationships found in real world number types. Many of us find this way of modelling sufficient and have an understanding about the limitations. But if you need to model the real world number relationships for some special reason, you might write some new classes. Then again there will be real world aspects that you will not be able to model easily. So you will model some aspects and neglect the other.

I have a MAC Pro from 2011 currently running MAC OS 10.9.5. This weekend I cloned the MAC HD drive to a new SSD drive for improved performance. The clone was completed successfully with no errors. After the clone completed I successfully restarted my system using the SSD as the boot device. I then successfully tested all of my products, including Photoshop CS6 and all of its plug-ins. I successfully tested the key features that I frequently use. Today while attempting to launch Photoshop CS6 a message is being displayed indicating that a scratch disk cannot be found. All drives are available on the system via the Finder and Disk Utility. I can access all drives including the old MAC HD which is no longer the boot device. I've even attempted to launch Photoshop from the old device yet the same error persist. Is there a way to review/edit/change Photoshop preferences if Photoshop doesn't launch? I've even restarted my system several times to see if that would resolve the issues. Does anyone have any recommendations for this issue? Have you previously address this issue?
Thank you Gregg Williams

BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement

BlackBerry Desktop software recommendations for improvement
Recommendation:
1, increase SMS and MMS module
2, the SMS and MMS module to connect to the BlackBerry via Bluetooth

While I love my BlackBerry Curve phone (and will most likely never go back to a phone running Windows Mobile OS), something that drives me absolutely crazy is the inability of the Desktop Manager software to monitor my activity in the Outlook client and autosync changes while my phone is connected via USB.

Tips For Improving Face Detection Accuracy

These are some rules I have slowly discovered that have helped improve the accuracy of iPhotos' face detection.
a. Don't force iPhoto to recognize *+every single+* instance of an individuals face. (If you need to create a location containing every instance of an individual, then you need to setup a Smart Folder using the persons' name as a Description or Keyword. "Faces" is not the section to do this. See a suggestion below for using "Faces" to do this.)
b. Avoid confirming really poor quality examples of a persons face (low light, pixelated, off in the distance, etc)
c. Avoid confirming only partially visible faces (hair covering half the face, head turned away to a profile, extreme angles too high or too low, etc)
d. Avoid too many instances in which the person's eyes are closed. (Obviously, sunglasses are a real problem here as well)
e. Avoid instances where the persons head is tilted 45 degrees or more, unless the software recognizes the face on it's own.
f. Avoid instances where the face has areas of heavy shadow, and the light source is at right angles to the face. (Outdoors with Sun directly overhead or near horizon.) If face is in an "even" shadow that seems to be OK.
g. Clearly, the more full frontal, clearly lit views of an individuals' face you can include, the better the face detection will be.
h. If you do use the "Add Missing Face" button, then restrict the selection box to just around the eyebrows, nose and mouth. Avoid selecting the whole head since the face detection software concentrates on the features in the center of the face. No need to include the hair as it does not appear to be a factor.
*Gathering Every Instance of a Persons' Face*
Here is how you could use "Faces" to gather every photo of an individual, yet maintain its' face detection accuracy. Mind you, this may only be practical with relatively small libraries, not libraries with 10's of thousands of photos.
1. First, go ahead and name *+every instance+* of an individuals' face (Even poor quality examples).
2. Then, within the "Faces" corkboard section, open that persons' album and "Select All" of their photos (Do this before the Faces scan is complete or you will also select all of the suggested faces under "So-and_So may also be in the photos below")
3. Next, create "New Album from selection..." and give it the name of the person. (Alternatively, you could "Batch Change..." all the selected photos with a "Description" using the persons' name and then use a "Smart Album" to gather all of the persons' photos. This could be handy for adding future photos of the person automatically to the Smart Album.)
4. Once that is complete, now "Reject" all poor quality, or partially visible examples of the persons' face within Faces. This will improve the software's future accuracy at detecting the persons' face in new photos added to the library.
If, at a future date, you add another large group of photos containing that persons' face, you can repeat steps 1 & 2 and simply drag all the photos to the persons' Album. Or "Batch Change..." the Description again to automatically include the newly added photos to the Smart Album you created earlier.
In the end I have discovered that the Faces section of iPhoto is really more a "tool" for creating Albums, rather than a destination for viewing photos.
Hope this helps. Feel free to add any suggestions you have discovered for improving the face detection accuracy.
Cheers

Apparently you shouldn't worry too much about what you select for the face area when using "Add Missing Face"... From Apple's knowledgebase at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3427:
Note: Only faces that have been automatically detected in your photo library will help iPhoto match faces. Manually identified faces will not aid iPhoto's face-matching ability.
So, unless they later come out with an update that actually uses that data, any effort you make in selecting especially accurate face regions is going to waste. (Though I'll admit I'm still putting in the effort in the hope that the data will someday be used for something in a future version of iPhoto...)

select count(*)
from CONF_dtl
where CONF_nbr = '1';Does this query return a count of 1? I doubt that, but that's what Oracle estimates in the EXPLAIN PLAN output. Based on that assumption you get a cartesian join between the two CONF_DTL table instances, and the result - which is still expected to be one row at most - is then joined to the SHIP_DTL table using a NESTED LOOP.
If above assumption is incorrect, the number of rows generated by the cartesian join can be tremendous rendering the NESTED LOOP operation quite inefficient.
You can verify this by using the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR function together with the GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS hint, if you're already on 10g or later.
For more information regarding the DISPLAY_CURSOR function, see e.g. here: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2006/11/09/dbms_xplan-in-10g/
It will show you the actual cardinalities compared to the estimated cardinalities.
If the estimate of the optimizer is incorrect, you should find out why. There still might be some issues with the statistics, since this is most obvious reason for incorrect estimates.
Are your index statistics up-to-date?

Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redunda

I understand the charter on this is to "check-in" once every time the program is turned on, and then once every 6 hours after that, or, once every 24 hours presumably. But the phone-home-effect is over-stepping these basic parameters. If a user turns their browser off and then on, Firefox is still obligated to "check-in" even if it just checked in 3 minutes prior. If the coding is not pre-designed to overstep, or act excessively in a redundant focus, the instance of once every six hours or once every 24 hours, is still overmuch if a user has been doing this (non-voluntarily-participating) for 9 months or longer.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This started when Firefox took up the initiative of "improving service. to end users" or similar idea, making the web safer for novice users, etcetera.

Opening question was truncated. Should read: "Firefox users cannot presently exercise choice, to opt-in or out of "data collected for improving services." As a result, Firefox is constantly dialing home, sometimes four times a day or more up to 48 times a day. There is some over-stepping and redundancy here. It would seem the practice of "improving service" has been accomplished with as much information as Mozilla has gathered in the last 6-18 months about its users habits. '''Isnt it about time to give users the option to opt out of that now that most the heavy liftiing has been accomplished?'''"

Where to submit feedback for iBooks?

Anytime I've wanted to submit feedback for an Apple product, I've visited this page --> http://www.apple.com/feedback/
It provides the mechanism through which you select what you want to provide feedback for, and then simply fill out the form and submit. Unfortunately, no where on this page is the iBooks application listed. So there is no way to submit feedback for the iBooks application. I would have expected it to be listed under the "iOS Apps" heading, but there is nothing.
So if one wanted to provide feedback to Apple for iBooks, where would one do such a thing?

Where Can we Download the "old" speedgrade ... so we can give better feedback for integration?

Where can we download the "old" speedgrade, so we can give better feedback for integration with aftereffects and premiere. I haven't used speedgrade, but I'm assuming it's like Davinci Resolve ... color grading is something you have to play around with a bit, to give decent feedback on integration. On one extreme, I like the ease of aftereffect composites. On the other hand, using graph operators (such as in Resolve and things like blender) ... is real nice ... but it's really not how i do work on the adobe side. I'm looking for a color grading approach that isn't for tier 1 film, but more for tier 2, independant and/or corporate work. I'd also love the ability to mix special effect compositing (like I currently do with AE), with coloring (which I currently have to do in in another program). I also have two work streams I would like to test, one RED and another 1080p for normal corporate stuff (which i currently don't color grade btw).
Anyway, I see some wierd links on downloading the old speedgrade, I don't see any download links on the speedgrade web page ... would be nice to see what the old speed grade does so I can comment competently.

Adobe SpeedGrade CS6 is at the door, official preview will be held at NAB, I'm currently testing a preview version of SG CS6 and I want to say that it works very well, so stay tuned on the Adobe website.
I tried to "stay tuned", here on this Adobe Website ...and your post is the first confirmation that Adobe Speedgrade still has any sign of a beating heart.
Totally dissapointed in Adobe for lack of SG communication to keep my interest up.
Regardless of that, I am looking forward to seeing it.
EDIT:
Speedgrade In CS6...brilliant to see it is now "a reality" ...and so excited and looking forward to checking it out.
