FLEX vs google DART is best for me to pay my bills

should I stay with flex or start investing time with google dart? in no way do I want to learn js ajax and js frameworks like sproutcore
I have been really rocked in my faithin flex these past few days
http://www.2ality.com/2011/09/google-dart.html

Personally i think learning Dart is perfect for a flex / as3 developer. One things for sure the internet will still need applications and theres only so far you can pratically go with JS without going insane. So as the flex / as3 jobs dry up the dart jobs should pop up to replace them. Going back to the equivelent of AS1 would really suck. I don't want to give up on all the good OOP and design patterns i've learn't. Hoping Dart might get something like robotlegs, but too early to tell. Can see it being another 12 months before Dart is mature enough to use in a commerical project though.
I don't see Google dropping this, unless something better comes out!! (Falcon js!!) Its a very different product compared to buzz etc. Maybe someone could port the flex framework to dart!
Also of course theres Air. Which i think could end up dominating the Apps market just as Flash dominated rich media on the web. Some serious improvements on the way with the nov 29th relase of Flex 4.6. Captive runtimes and Starling should keep us fed for a while.

Flash, Flex, AIR Which is best for producing small interactive apps?

Hi
I posted to the flash forum but really looking for feedback from flash, flex, AIR users as well
I'm looking for the forums thoughts and advice on which of Adobe's current technology set (CS5) is best suited for creating small interactive applications/packages by users who would not have any background in coding and very little interest in learning coding.
The idea is that users would know basic drag & drop development and maybe extend it to include some basic scripting to wire up elements of it. The ability to develope applications for a range of access points (website, mobile, desktop) would also an added benefit
The over arching idea would be to let the users create some apps/programmes/packages quickly on any topic they like but not bog them down with coding
Which CS5 technologies would be best for that

I don't see how it would be any different for mobile than for desktop, considering the biggest difference is frame-size.
Flash Builder is very good at building fluid layouts. VERY good. By extension, Catalyst, built on the same framework, should be too (haven't seen the final version, but the betas were looking good in this regard).
The entire platform has been getting optimized for mobile creation lately, and CS5 should have a lot of tooling towards that end.
I would suggest downloading the trial version of the softwares when they are released (supposed to be mid-may) and playing around with it before you decide.
If you want to, you can hit up labs.adobe.com to download the beta of Catalyst right now, which might give you the answers you need. (Flash Builder was already released, and is available on adobe's site for trial download currently)

Would Like to get an iPod but not sure which one would be the best for me..

i have done some research on the iPods, the easiest to use, which ones are best for fitness workouts, etc. I had an iPod Classic sometime ago but I ruined it because I tried to install the program it came with but it was already installed and the second install I did ruin it. At least this is what the genius bar guy said.
Anybody who knows iPods fairly well. I am new to my MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to synch the music in iTunes with the iPod for music for various activities. I also have trouble with the ear phones that come with the iPods, so I was looking at a website that had earphones ranging from $300 to $500 approx for people who have various needs in addition to using them at studios while mixing new music. I just want a pair that will stay in my odd shaped ears, have great quality, and work well with the iPods.
Any recommendations on iPod for exercise. I am not big on videos but having some good music gets me through a hard workout. One problem I have is that the genus guys could not fix the multiple setting, software, preference settings, etc. that had become corrupted in my old Mac and because several genius guys could not fix the numerous problems they gave me a new MacBook Pro. However, they recommended that since my problems were all setting, software issues and problems I have add with adding music in iTunes, that none of my pictures, music or setting be transferred to the new MBP but to start over. They did not even save any of my iTunes and pictures which I thought was odd but what could I say since they were giving me a new MBP. If anybody has a legal way of transferring from my friend;s iTunes the music he has that I can use for the yoga and mind-body classes I teach, which I am getting nervous on because I start the classes next week. I do not have the money to buy the yoga and other fitness music in hours like I use to have. My friend will let me transfer some of his music that he had from his own cds and some but few from iTunes, but that I could get them on myTunes if I could find out how to do that.
I researched that and since my friend did not care about atwork, artists of the songs on one cd, for example, the genre, tracks, artists, etc. he does have some but I would want to do the research and get the artwork and the titles of the various songs, the tracks, and all the info one gets when they transfer a new cd to iTunes. I had this problem with some of my old music but with google images, and finding the cd online I was able to get all the CDs accurate, even the double CDs that iTunes would have as one cd, but I figured out how to get them to one cd.
The ways ITunes Help advices on moving songs from one iTunes to another computer with iTunes, they recommend an iPod, transferring them to a DVD and burn the DVd on to my new MacBook Pro, with several other option that were beyond my ability to understand. If anybody has suggestions how to get my friend;s songs to my iTunes so I can have enough New Age and Yoga music for the classes that start next week, I would really appreciate it.
I also want to start backing up using time Machine and LaCie Rugged hard disk FW, USB, 400 0r 800 FW, 7200 speed, usb, etc. I am not up-to-date on the speed of the LaCie and if the 7200 speed would be a waste of money. Any recommendations for getting this device, not hooking it up to a wireless devise but to the Time Machine. If it does not come formatted for the new MacBook Pro and is it a big deal formatting the hard drive so I would be able to start using it right out of the box. Any suggestions n the iPod, and the LaCie rugged external hard drive would be a hugh help. I cannot afford a Time Capsule right now so I though the LaCie would be the next best thing
Thanks!!

Hello artistsagar,
The word best is always subjective. It is all a question of your needs, your working practice, your available space; I could go on.
A Mac (probably a 27"one) may well be perfect. Good size screen, easily understood basic functions and a huge number of recommended programs. Just Google Mac graphic design to see what is available.

Best for editing AVCHD - Final Cut or iMovie

Pretty fundamental stuff, I guess, but I have an iMac with 4 Mb Ram and 1Tb storage. I work in a school and record footage on to a Canon HD camcorder. Sometimes I can import direct into iMovie and struggle to get a 2 hour end product to fit onto a DVD. Sometimes the import fails and I have to 'log and transfer' from the Canon to Final Cut 7; do titles and effects etc. then try every which way, in vein, to try and create a DVD.
If I export a quicktime movie from Final Cut it's like 100Gb compared to iMovie's 5.5Gb.
I've now got in a bit of a mess - there's clips, sequences, iMovie cache folders, PAR folders, iDVD project files, DVD Studio projects and .mov files all over my Mac. I keep running out of space and don't know what I can delete, because it's not apparent what belongs to what in the grand scheme.
Is it foolish to use a domestic single chip AVCHD camcorder with Final Cut Pro or can I just convert the AVCHD file in some way before I edit nd output it ?
Any tutorials on this stuff ???

.. First off I know nothing about iMovie, but plenty about FCP. ..
+vice versa+ here ..
FC/p is +by far+ superior in its editing features compared to iM, for sure.. but bertieonamac's Q pointed into a diff. direction, and I dare to say, four your needs, the iLife-siute of apps is 'better'.
why?
a) Organizing.
iMovie09 automatically sorts into 'Events', based upon the assumptions, the recordings of one day are 'one' content. you can re-arrange that, build your own Events, change time-stamps, organize via keywords/tags. with a click, iM sorts you all content with 'Suzie/Goals/Explosions/...' iTunes for videos ..
FC/p 'allows' storing material anywhere & anyhow .. if you are not disciplined = clutter ..
b) Convenience
80% of features, an average project needs, are offered by iM09 - from a bundle of dissolves, to cut-aways, green-screen, pic-in-pic .. for another poster, I made this web-site
http://sites.google.com/site/karstenschluter/how-to-make-a-vidcast
to show a few options, iM09 offers.. done 'within minutes'
FC/p is a professional tool - it allows much better control, but asks for in-depth knowledge (example: Ken Burns - in iM start/end, in FC/p you have to understand the concept of key-frames etc)
c) Simplicity
if you respect the restrictions, iM gives, it is 'plug'n play'. not every cam is supported, not every rec-mode is supported. the app itself has hundreds of limitations, two examples: a dissolve's length is max. half of a clip; only one 'effect' per clip .. etc etc. if you respect this limits, you don't have to care
for codecs, aspect-ratios, renderings ..
FC/p allows 'anything' - including getting-lost ..
d) Concept
iDVD is limited to 120min max., incl. content in the menus. you told us, you struggle doing so.. it is simply not possible, by concept. shorten your project to 110, don't add 'movies' to animated menus but simple stills - done.
the 'share to iDVD' feature of iM uses a totally different setting in encoding than the simple 'Export QT'/timeline' feature of FC .. therefor a very diff. file-size ..
I dare to say, you don't know about how FC exports, nor about encoders.. iLife is a consumer-product.
FC/p asks for a in-depth understanding of video-technology. e.g. Compressor overwhelms the average user with zillions of options... FC/p is meant for someone, who uses these tools 8h/d ..
summary:
'Best for editing' - FC/p
'Best for editing on a consumer level' - iMovie09
.. independently of the codecs the cam uses ..
and Welcome, bertieonamac, to the  boards ..

How have you made the DInc2 work best for you?

How have you personalized your DInc2 and made it work best for you? I mean, how have you set up the home screens, added/wigits or apps, organized stuff on your phone to make it the best phone for you? I LIKE my DInc2 but don't LOVE it, so I'm looking for some ideas to make it more me.

Here are a few apps I found useful:
ColorDict - a free dictionary
ColorNote - a free notepad
Skype - this is the full version downloaded from the market that can take advantage of the front facing camera, not the the skype mobile comes with the phone which doesn't have video call.
Kindle - a nice ebook reader
Yahoo Mail app - it pushes mail to your phone
My Track - a free Google product that uses GPS for tracking. It's useful when you are hiking
Since the HTC Clock/Alarm Clock app is broken, I also downloaded an alarm clock app
I also downloaded a few games to stimulate my brain once awhile.
In case you're interested, here are the apps I have on my home screen:
Yahoo mail, Battery meter, Music, ColorDict, Skype, ColorNote, Gallery, Maps, GPS, Navigation, Camera, Camcorder, Internet, People, Messages, Calender.
I wish the phone can lay golden eggs but so far it hasn't.

Which Adobe product is best for me?

My wife and I are in the travel business. I like to make 8½ x 11 flyers for our cruise promotions. I start with a blank page and add images and text to make a composite, and then save it off in pdf. I've been using an old XP version of Microsoft Picture It! running in XP Mode on Windows 7. I need to upgrade to something more modern that will handle eps files, etc. I'm not a graphic designer, so the Adobe product line is confusing for me. So which product would be best for me, the cheaper the better? Thanks

For the time spent learning how to use Illustrator and the cost of it you could probably hire a professional.
If you want to do it yourself for a small company, avoid Adobe all together unless you want to use their 30 day trails - google it for info.
Gimp is good, free, simple. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
And as above, Publisher and Expression design can be OK - generally it's what you do with the software not the software itself.

HT5282 What security is best for my MacBookPro and iMac? I have had some company asking me to join them to 'clean' and get rid of some unused files. Is this ok, the cost if around $40. I don't mind paying but I am a bit worried they might not be approved

Hi,
Am new at this. What security is best for my MacBookPro and iMac? I have had some company asking me to join them to 'clean' and get rid of some unused files. Is this ok, the cost if around $40. I don't mind paying but I am a bit worried they might not be approved by Apple.

I have had some company asking me to join them to 'clean' and get rid of some unused files.
Does this company know you use Mac OS X? If so this is a worrysome trend.
For a couple of years now there have been several scam artists that call you, claiming to be from 'tech support', or your ISP or even Microsoft, reporting that your machine has been idenfitied as being infected and that you need to give them access to your machine to 'clean it up'. In the process of this 'clean up' they thoroughly hose the system by trashing important files and then demand more money in 'recovery fees' to restore the system.
I've laughed in their face whenever they've called me since they have no clue of how to compromise a Mac system, but if they've started to target Mac users then more vigilence is required.

Just Google 'microsoft support scam' for more reports/variations.

Hi all,
I am about to install boot camp, and I was wondering which version of Windows works best for my Mac.
Many thanks for your help.

you really have only one choice, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium but you can save by buying the System Builder edition.

'Best for video' greyed out in displays prefs

I finally got my macbook(blackbook running 10.5.8) hooked up to my lcd tv (i have been using my old eMac for this a while) & I'm fooling around with the settings to optimize performance & for some reason the 'Best for video' is greyed out in System prefs/Displays but the overscan function works(both in extended desktop mode & in video mirroring mode. I have always used this function on my eMac (OS X 10.3.9) without any problems. For now I'm using the apple mini dvi to video with an Svideo cable until i can afford to go either the hdmi or vga route, but I'd like to optimize this at least..anybody have a clue why 'Best for video' would be greyed out & how to fix this? could this be because of the Intel GMA 950 Gpu chipset in this generation of macbooks? I have posted to a few forums in the last few days with no answers so far...Anybody?

I wouldn't worry too much about that setting. I believe all it ever did was set up a difference between blanking and black level, sometimes called "pedestal" in TV/video terminology. It's no big deal. You are probably correct that the GMA950 doesn't support it, so it's grayed out.

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

Thank-you

1. Yes, it is.
2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.
