How bad is the fur lining?

I was able to see an incase with the fur lining yesterday. I have read where several people do not like it because the fur sheds on a white Mac. But, is that enough of a problem to NOT buy one?
My other choice is a Brenthaven MetroLite. It is larger than the incase, but if the furr is a real problem, I would buy the Brenthaven.
The Apple Store I go to has both in stock.
Thank,
Pat

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Anytime you get things loose inside a notebook case, you can get that stuck in between the keys, blocking the ports, scratching the screen in addition to the possible aesthetic mess. If a case is so poorly built to have things get lose from its own design, I wouldn't buy it.

How bad is the performance hit with RTMPT?

In a conversation with engineers recently at a CDN it was suggested to me that streaming all video over RTMPT only was a viable solution to the barriers posed by firewalls and proxies blocking port 1935. They indicated that they had seen no signifigant performance degradation with tunneling and that many of their clients were making the switch from "rollover" type connection models to connection via RTMPT only.
This ran counter to my notion of the process. I have always thought the packet overhead was signifigant.
Is it? How bad is the performance hit for streaming live h.264 video?

Hmmm... That's quite a hit.
I'm trying to determine the best strategy for reaching the most people with the least performance hit. A guy lays out his strategy here:
http://www.kensodev.com/2010/02/19/rtmp-being-blocked-by-firewalls-flash-media-server/
He basically says ditch 1935. Never use it. Always use 80. Like this:
rtmp://your_ip_address:80/app_name
If that fails, do this:
rtmpt://your_ip_address:80/app_name
Does that seem valid? Does that first option avoid the perfomance hit of tunnelling while getting you more connections? If so, it makes me think there is no benefit at all to connecting via 1935.

Just how bad is the HD screen on the T530

Hey everyone. I'm buying a laptop for my father whose main criteria are:
Overall build quality
(backlit) Keyboard and trackpad quality
At least 15" screen
Upgradeability
International warranty and customer service
Whilst it is overkill for what he wants to do, AFAICS the T530 is the only thinkpad that fits the bill.
The only problem is his eyesight isn't what it used to be and he needs eye-glasses to read the screen on his current laptop which has a 15" 1366x768 display. Hence, a higher resolution screen is out of the question (I understand there is dpi scaling but it is never implemented perfectly across all apps).
I see people warning against the HD display all the time, so I'd like to know just how bad is the contrast, colour reproduction etc?

I understand where you're coming from however I don't mean travel like how a businessman travels. My father just spends a lot of time abroad and an external monitor will not be practical. I'm surprised no-one seems to have any experience with the HD screen. Thank you for your suggestions though.

How bad is the Verizon customer service?

how bad is the Verizon customer service? Well let me tell you. I just got off the phone with from their Finance Department, who called me, and they asked when I would be paying my bill. I answered never. He asked why. I said I had a billing dispute. He asked to go over the bill together (the first rep to do this) having going over the issues and reviewing the notes he said “oh wow”. I informed him that I filed a complaint to the BBB, FTC and FCC and filed a small claims suit against them. He said he understood why. He then said he would unsuspended my 3 lines (I have already disconnected 2 of them) and place my account in a “billing dispute status”. I said thank you. After about 30 minutes I called back when my saw my lines still suspended. Both the finance department and customer service both said the lines were still suspended both blaming the other department as a reason. Got to love the Verizon teamwork. Any suggestions?

They may have stated over the phone your account was in a "billing dispute status" however you can ONLY do so in writing.
From the customer agreement:
HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
Simply send in a notice of dispute form. Since you have already filed a "small claims case", I would think it may be unnecessary, though, but it can't hurt to be thorough.

5800 Music- how bad is the freezing problem

I am looking at buying the 5800. However after looking at hunderds of reviews and comments it seems to me that users either love or hate their musicexpress with not much inbetween. Knowing that users will often only vent their anger when things go wrong can anyone tell me how bad the freezing problem is that seems to raise its head often with this phone. Are there many people who have this phone not have this problem or is the problem only occur when thier is some conflict with some app.
One other questions is it possible to use the phone to keep reasonabvle amount of notes- I am about to head overseas and want to use the phone also to replace a notebook and diary and also to use its many other functions
with thanks

I do not have this problem, then again my 5800 has not been working in anyway except perfect ever since I bought it, except for the crashing browser on v30.
Yes you can keep a lot of notes on the phone, Although you may want to find a "note app" like express note to save the notes onto memory card if you plan to use it all too often.

My laptop had water spilled on it 3 days ago, I let it sit as instructed by best buy . I am on it right now but the mouse movement isn't smooth anymore and it is slower. The first time I turned it on it didn't respond at all, how bad is the damage.?

My laptop had water spilled on it 3 days ago, I let it sit as instructed by best buy . I am on it right now but the mouse movement isn't smooth anymore and it is slower. The first time I turned it on it didn't respond at all,can anyone tell how bad the damage really is without actually seeing it ? Do you think maybe it will be just a simple repair or am I looking at a whole new logic board?

Until you take it in so that a technician can look at it, it is all guessing and nothing more.

How bad is the service just to get a missing screw of a MBR retina

Hi,
I am very disappointed about the service provided by apple for a missing body screw of a Retina MBP bottom part. The process is to go to a service center spend there 30-60 min to report that a screw is missing and to answer stupid questions such as how can the screw be missed. Hello a screw get missed if it gets loose
As all service centers in Singapore do not even have a stupid screw that just cost a few cents on stock.
It must be ordered and than you will have to go back again 1 -2 days later to pick it up and let them screw it back.
That is not a costumer service I would expect from a device that cost several 1000 of dollars and paying extra for an apple care pack.
Dear apple costumer service, please provide me an answer how you will overcome such a disappointing service, and provide me an email where to complain about this issue.
Best regards,
Christian

I'm sorry to hear this. What you have to know is that Apple wasn't attending you directly, but a third-party company that provides Apple support, and the experience with these companies is terrible in most of the cases. For example, I have heard cases of some repairs that took months on a Spanish reseller, but it's a worldwide problem.
I recommend you to contact with Apple in Singapore directly, from their phone number > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57#S

CRC Errors? How bad is the situation?

Please in broad terms, how would you advise to a friend willing to buy a KT4VL considering the CRC errors some users have claimed at this forum?
Thanks, Gustavo.-

Hi!
I have the kt4Ultra(6590)and jumped from bios 1.1 to 1.3.
I too noticed different HD speeds when using HDtach.
The Burst rate where lower with the new bios but sisoft sandra gave me the same performance.
SO i dont think burst transfer rates is everything.
In PCmark2002 i got 1012 point on my WD 80gig SE disk,not raided or anything.
I have never experienced any crc errors with either one of the bioses.I uppgraded the bios as i needed support for the XP2500Barton cpu.

How bad is the new iTunes logo?

It looks like it's been designed by an intern... from Microsoft!
There must be to go back to the old one, right click, show package contents... anyone know the rest?

This logo is king of old fashion style.By the way, I work as a graphic logo designer, and I prefer the Itunes 9 logo.

How bad is the static?

Please see the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1140175&tstart=0
Someone suggested I would have better luck getting answers if I started a new post...

Yes, I first heard it on an Interpol song ("Take you on a Cruise"). I bought the 80G iPod a month ago, and I thought at first it was Apple's cheap iPod headphones since it seemed to go away on that song with my Sony NC headphones. Then, I heard it on another song ("Song Seven") and it was present thoughout the song on all the more serious headphones I tried (Sony NC20, Sony MDR-G72, Sennheiser HD420).
The static does go away when the EQ is off (or Flat), and I personally think it is worst on the Bass Booster setting.
I thought it might be the encoding, so I tried MP3 bit rates up to 320 Kbps (both iTunes and winLAME) and AAC up to 320 Kbps (iTunes). There was no difference at all.
Playing on the PC through iTunes, it sounds fine regardless of EQ setting. So, I think this is a firmware issue with the way they are implementing the EQ in the iPod. I am hoping this can be fixed in an iPod update, but it would be good to get an acknowledgment that this is an issue that Apple is intending to fix.

How to reorder the rows in a table?

Is it possible to incorporate reordering feature of the SelectOrderShuttle to a table like the following picture?

Thanks.

The order of columns within row make NO difference to performance; with possible exception of LOB datatypeThat's not strictly true.
Given a badly designed application you may find a change in column order can make a worthwhile difference to performance. The note in question is aimed specifically at Demantra, and make the following point:
<ul>
Due to the way the Oracle RDBMS stores data physically on disk, it is possible to reduce storage and improve performance by rebuilding large tables that have many NULL-value or empty columns, to the end of the row. This is known as reordering.
</ul>
This describes a classic bad design - blaming the problems on Oracle, of course.
But if you do have very long rows (especially with more than 254 columns), and you do leave vary large numbers of columns null, then rearranging the most frequently null columns to the end of the row can make a difference. I've done it a couple of times.
The OP seems to be talking about the (generally silly) guideline to rebuild the table in primary key order, though, and there is an entertaining (but apparently broken) script that gives a meaningless number that is supposed to show how badly ordered the table is with respect to the primary key. (Personally I would just look at the clustering_factor of the primary key - it's quicker, easier, and more likely to be appropriate).

T500 Keyboard and Flex (How bad is it)

I really really like the look of the new T500. They are priced well and offer good performance for the money. The only issue I have is the posts related to the keyboard. As I dont know anyone with a T500 so I can examine it in detail, I have no way of verifying how bad the problem is.
Any thoughts? How bad is the problem?
Obviously im not going to be willing to shell out cash on a notebook that has a known serious problem.

please see the response to your inquiry here. you are welcome to read the existing discussions on the topic. we would appreciate not starting new threads on the subject to avoid splintering the topic at hand.
thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Screen tilt? How bad is it?

I have heard much talk and debate about the "Screen tilt" common in the new nano line...how bad is the tilt? Is it very minute? Or is it obvious?
Also...is there a place where i can view a picture of this screen tilt?

In the interest of sparing multiple threads on the same subject...
There is a lengthy thread located at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1123662&start=0&tstart=0
That covers this topic in great detail. Page 7 has some links to videos where the screen appears obviously tilted. I am sure you will be able to find answers to all your questions on the tilt in that thread.

How loud is the whine exactly?

Im preparing for the worst.. how bad is the whine that you guys experience? Would it be enough to get kicked out of class? I won't have time to send this one back once it gets here because school is starting and I need it for my digital media class.

The loudness varies. Many users can hear the whine when sitting at a normal arms-length typing distance from their notebook. For others, the whine is much louder and can be heard several yards away.
It may be enough for a prof to ask you to shut down the machine, if the room is small and the prof has sensitive ears. I take a lot of classes in small conference rooms that seat ~15 people. Some of my profs would tease me for the whine, but never asked me to shut my MBPRO off. It was definitely much quieter than, for example, a Dell P4 notebook with the fans cranking full blast. The high-pitched nature of the noise may be especially irritating to some people, thougn.
Anyway, if you are worried about your MBPRO getting kicked out of class then there are several workarounds you could use in that setting. You could use the PhotoBooth workaround, or possibly the Mirror Widget workaround. Another option is to install Apple Developer Tools and run the CHUD tools. In CHUD there is an option to disable one of the processor's cores, which kills the whine. The downside to these workarounds is that you lose processor performance and battery life
