How much White is too much White?

Hi guys,
We're in the process of finalizing our site (See Who Sells - http://www.seewhosells.com) and have been trying to stick to the "minimalist" approach in terms of color scheme for the duration of design. However upon discussing recently with some of our foreign brain trust, the comment that was repeated is that the page is "too white". I've been trying to argue against this but feel like i'm fighting a losing battle - Google after all is the prime example of a "too white" website that people seem to love.
Also, as a side note, we've been trying to think of a way to compress our logo into a smaller "cube-size" format for use as an avatar/Facebook page icon, however a lot of the examples we've come up with tend to come out looking "squashed" even when cropped. Any suggestions or advice on reshaping the logo would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Geezer,
When you say "downward looking" as opposed to "upward looking", what exactly do you mean? The reference to the "eyes" in the "See" part of the logo?Aye.
As in, it's better to have a horizontally aligned rather than vertically aligned logo?
I believe an (even slightly) upwards gaze is better to convey the concept of discovering something new and exciting, a downward gaze more likely associated with reservation/fault finding/something inferior.
Also, the use of three different appearances might appear messy if placed (more or less) on top of one another. You might consider slanting them clockwise, raising the eyes further, and contracting the logo horizontally, and see whether it works or appears wrong/confusing because the last line/part will be more or less on top.

    Return your iPhone to Apple for repair/replacement, and ask for a white one.  It couldn't be simpler.  Whether Apple will comply with yuor request is another matter.

  • How much time will i take for the battery to drain, with white screen of death?

    Yesterday I updated the software of my iPod touch (4gen), and today while using facebook I got the white screen of death. I tried to holding the sleep and home buttons but I didn't help. Then I tried to connect to iTunes but iTunes does not recognize my iPod. It seems that the only solution is to let the battery drain. My question is how much time will it take for the battery to drain (I charged it yesterday). Am I damaging my iPod in anyway?( I am worried because the back is a little hot). Should Ii try co cool it by placing  it in front of a fan?

    Yes it will show the low battery picture. Then I just connected it to my PC and restored it.
    For the cold pack I used one of these gel-packs http://www.coldchaintech.com/products/gel-packs.php ( I had them at home).
    I don't think using ice is a good idea here is why:
    1. If you use an ice pack you should be careful to prevent water from entering your iPod.
    2. Your iPod should not get colder than 32° F which is the minimum Operating temperature. And ice is colder than 32° F.

  • The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

    The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

    Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
    BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
    Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

  • How much RAM should I upgrade too?

    I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. It is a mid-2012 model. It currently has 4 GB. I connect it to an external monitor which makes it easier for me to use while editing. I always have the application sit and load with the spinning ball icon. I use FCPX, Photoshop, and After Effects on a daily basis. I was wondering if the RAM increase would help me create my videos more efficently. Thanks for all the comments and help ahead of time!

    You should benefit from adding more RAM. How much is hard to say but at least to 8 GBs. You might know more if you observed your memory usage in Activity Monitor.
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • How Much is Too Much?

    Hi everyone,
    I have recently been using my macpro more and more for high-def video work. I usually leave it on 24 hours a day as at night I set up a batch of files in compressor to run over night. Essentially, all my CPUs are maxed almost all the time. I am wondering if this could become a problem? I have read a little about average loads but don't fully understand what they mean. Mine are: 8.60, 7.58 and 7.42 and I am getting pretty high temps on my CPUs, power supplies and hard drives (about 44C, 54C and 39C average respectively). Am I pushing this thing too hard? How much is too much? Please see my system specs below.
    Thanks a lot!
    ~ Philip

    Don't let the drives get to 70C! they can take 50C safely. Memory and graphics are more of a concern. The cpu will protect itself.
    smcFanControl can insure that your fans stay above the default minimums, which is worth taking a look at (freeware).
    Fluctuation in temps between extremes can stress a hard drive and memory.

  • How much cd burning is too much?

    Can too much burning damage my computer?

    No ... although your Mac is not a professional disk duplicator, so if you do a lot of high-quantity burning you may put more wear and tear on the drive mechanism than you would normally, but most reasonable disk burning falls within the drive's tolerances. How much are you doing?

  • How many photos is too much

    I realize that this is one of those "your mileage may vary" type questions, but here goes:
    How many photos is too much for a single iphoto library? Have people either encountered problems after reaching a certain threshold? Or are there people who have lots of photos with no problems at all?
    I am in the process of trying to consolidate several iphoto libraries into one huge library. I say "trying," because I am running into problems with importing thousands of photos. The master library will have around 50,000 photos, although a good many of them will probably be duplicates (which is another hassle).
    Because the consolidation is such a pain, I am wondering if it will be worth it. Is 50,000 photos OK for a library? What about 100,000?
    Thanks for any words of wisdom.
    rob

    In addition to Terence's suggestions make sure that in the Photos mode you have the Event titles displayed and only open those events you're working with. Having no Event titles displayed and all of thumbnails displayed will greatly slow down iPhoto whether it be 6 or 7.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How much is too much music on itunes?

    im uploading a lot of music onto my itunes, for two different ipods, and i dont know if i put too much music on if there will be a lag or anything
    can someone please tell me how much music a computer can take before significantly slowing down?

    As long as there's at least 1GB of space free on the hard disk at all times and the iTunes library isn't stored on the Finder's desktop, you shouldn't experience a major slowdown regardless of how big the iTunes library gets.

    To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

  • How much can too many imports slow inititialization down?

    How much can too many imports slow applet inititialization down?
    I have seen our company's sorce code for some huge applets they have written. In many, many cases, the imports at the beginning of each file are written something like this...
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.border.*; 
    import javax.swing.event.*;Only certain portion of these imports are actually used. Does this sort of thing really impact the applets loading speed? I know it will obviously take at least a little longer but will the user even notice?

    You are not actually importing the classes, but rather making the names of the classes available.
