HT201342 what is the benefit to using @icloud for email

Just wondering what the benefit is to using @icloud.com vs @me.com?

None, really.  It's just an additional address that you can use if you want.  Email sent to either address arrives in the same inbox.  Apple is no longer providing @me or @mac email addresses, and is transitioning to @icloud going forward so they're giving existing iCloud users the new address as an option.

  • What is the benefit in using OID for names resolution?

    I have been wondering about this for awhile. I have been working on getting this to work in Iplanet along with Pat Lehane ([email protected]), and it works now.
    What are the benefits in using OID for names resolution when you can just use the static tnsnames.ora. Database and database names are not created dynamically and they don't change that often. Would creates a new database every day and has to worry about changing the static tnsnames.ora file. In my environment, we run Oracle applications from a server, so there is only one tnsnames.ora file, on the file server.
    It would appear that using OID would cause extra traffic (LDAP lookups) on your network.
    I would like some opinions from both Oracle and Oracle users. Thanks

    hi,
    A benefit of using OID for names resolution is that it allows you to centralize net8 naming (i.e., tnsnames) information in the same place (OID) where other types of administrative information (about users, enterprise groups, enterprise roles, etc) gets stored. If you are more comfortable using tnsnames.ora files for net8 naming, that is perfectly fine!
    An important reason that Oracle had for providing Net8 naming functionality in OID is that the legacy 'Oracle Names' functionality of Oracle 7 will eventually be desupported. This is discussed in metalink Note #135696.1 on http://metalink.oracle.com .
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the benefit of using J2EE for webservices?

    (I posted this on google news group, but no one answer, sorry for the cross post)
    This maybe obvious to some of you, but after I went over the
    webservices tutorial from Sun, about XML RPC and JAXM, I don't know
    what is the benefit of using webservices within J2EE container.
    Please tell me about it.
    My assumption is that RPC and JAXM both enables the communication, but
    the managing of session, persistent, thread pool, connection pool,
    database, etc, are all handled by the container. Well, I still hope
    my assumption is true. However, from what I read, the tutorial does
    not even mention the word beans. So, how to get a beans to talk the
    JAXM language so that I can get all of the above features? Or am I totally off track here? if an enterprise bean is not needed, then how to get all the above benefits that the J2EE offers?
    By the way, does Sun's RPC and JAXM has things such as quality of
    service (such as request time out). They mention guarantee delivery,
    but if a reply to my query come 5 minutes later versus instantly, then
    I probably lost a customer already. RPC also has big limitation, Corba has asynchronous request, but Sun's RPC does not.
    Thank you in advance for all comments and help.

    Basic communication aside, J2EE is mostly a synchronous run-time environment. When asynchrony is introduced, a whole new set of infrastructure requirements is needed to support QoS and commercial-quality implementations. In other words, it's not just about API anymore, it's about reliable communication, exception handling, time outs, etc. You may want to look at this Q&A to see some of the benefits provided by J2EE as underlying run-time for orchestration:

  • HT201342 What are the benefits to using @icloud account over @me. account?

    Do I need to change over to @icloud account for email and what are the benefits over @me account?

    It's not a separate account. It's simply an additional address on your existing account and you can use it or not use it at your own convenience. Your @me.com address will be unaffected.

  • What is the benefit of Using Data Adaptor

    Hello
    I wonder that What is the benefit of Using Data Adaptor ? I don't know TopLink Technology , inorder to using Data Adaptor I should know toplink but what is the advatages of using BPEL database adaptors in conditions thet I can make webservices by making plsql web services or exposing ADF application modules more easier?
    I think that if I use Data Adaptor (based of Toplink) I can use JTA feature for transaction managment , am I thinking Correct?
    for example I can invoke to webservice A and the B in BPEL process with two DB adaptores (by global transaction ) such that if A failes the process automatically roles back the B transaction without need that I manauly compensate the undo process
    please help me ?

    Thank you for your very useful comments about DB adapter
    I tried again and I have Successfully deploy and test my DB adapter with using # for parameter.
    But I have another question : We have ADF Application that using ADF bc for user data entry supporting in use case scenario , but we want to call web services (eg BPEL) in save operation instead of ADF application modules Normal commit !
    If we want using Data adapter for persist the Data that user entered by UI , we must write a lot of Insert or Update statements in DB adapter because of lot of database entities.
    How can we shorten this production scenario in our Project?

  • What is the benefit of using Firefox over Safari?

    I am a long time PC user who just ran through her 5th laptop, 1 toshiba, 2 panasonics, and 2 dells. Finally decided to buy my first Apple product, MacBook Pro. Purchased yesterday and trying to learn the new system. My question is, what is 'wrong' with Safari? In other words, what is the benefit of downloading FireFox for the Mac? thanks!

    I DID use Firefox on my PC.....very superior to Explorer. But since I have never used an Apple product before purchasing this MacBookPro yesterday, I have no idea what the Apple (Safari) browser is like. I don't have to bother getting used to Safari if the Firefox for Mac is a better product.

  • What is the benefit of using POE than AC Power?

    Hi,
    We are currently research on what is the benefit of POE over AC Power for wireless AP.
    Most of AP we are using is 1252 and 1142.
    Anyone can tell the different?

    Hi,
    Try to plan to install both scenarios and you'll know the difference yourself.
    Besides what Leo mentioned, imagine that you are going to use AC power and for every AP you are going to install a power outlet close to the AP to power it up.
    Now, if later you decided to change the AP location you need to install a new power outlet in the new place. The old power outlet is usually left wihtout use. extra cabling, extra waste of resources (materials, man power...etc).

  • What is the benefit of using clipping paths for a knock out?

    I found a posting saying they need someone to knock out the background of a lot of images using clipping paths. My question is, WHY use a clipping path? I know the rule of not using a selection tool such as the Magic Wand and then turning it into a clipping path and I know why that is. But if all is needed is for the background to be knocked out, why can't we just use the selection tool in the first place and just knock out the background from there? What is the benefit of that clipping mask?

    Usually the term Clipping Path refers to turning a path into a clipping path (in the paths panel) for use in older programs such as PageMaker that don't support transparency.
    For example if one wanted to import a file into PageMaker and only have a certain part of the document visible, one would make a path (or selection) around the object
    and turn the path (or selection) into a clipping path. Sorta the same results you see in photoshop using a layer mask or vector mask.
    Also clipping paths are used in certain printing workflows.
    Without seeing the posting it's hard to say what they meant and in photoshop 6 vector masks were labeled as Layer Clipping Paths not to be confused with real clipping paths.
    Old versions of photoshop also used the term Group With Previous to denote Create Clipping Mask.
    photoshop 6:
    Photoshop cs6:
    Anyway clipping masks and clipping paths are two different things in photoshop.

  • What are the advantages of using cirrus for multiuser applications ?

    Hi!
    Can anybody help me understanding the advantages of using cirrus for multiuser apps ?
    One advantage i think, may be it's free . Isn't it ?  Anything else ( say, it's faster .? )

    The main advantage is that it is a P2P system. It is not the same as a Flash Media Server or other Flash servers. When using Cirrus, your content is sent directly to and from clients, they do not need to send it to the server, get it interpreted and then send it to the other user.
    So essentially Cirrus is fantastic if you have an application envrionment that needs multiuser interaction, but only for client to client operations: you'd want peer-to-peer.

  • What is the benefit of using BC4J?

    Folks,
    After working with BC4J for three months, I still can not convince my manager to use BC4J. His major arguments are:
    1. Which applications or web sites are implemented using BC4J? Are they real application or just a demo. For the time being, I even can not show him a demo, not to say any real web applications.
    2. His developers told him that the O-R mapping provided by BC4J, which is probabably one of the key benefit of BC4J can be easily coded manually with a couple of days work for the current task and we have the full control over our own code while BC4J is not an open source and the lack of the support from Oracle really worries him.
    Can someone in Jdev team give me a clear evidence to convince him?
    Thanks,
    Yibing

    [*]With regard to struts integration with BC4J, I have done some investigations of the new release and know that BC4JActionForm is only good for simple view and does not work for a joint table view as I have reported a few days ago in this group and no response is received yet.
    This should not be the case. Should work for any view object. View objects can contain join queries with any number of updateable tables in them. Please email me the URL to the forum posting so I can track down the issue.
    [*]I have been recently told indirectly from Oracle that the consulting group at oracle are not using BC4J and instead they think that BC4J only applies to simple applications with limited number of tables and relationships.
    This is plain incorrect. We have very large applications using BC4J both internal in Oracle Applications, for Oracle iLearning, and many external customers. Many of these projects have involved (and are currently involving) Oracle Consulting. Not sure where got this information, but it is incorrect.
    [*]Other commecial O-R mapping products such as top-link should be used for large applications
    The key difference between Oracle9i TopLink and Oracle9i BC4J has nothing to do with the size of your project. The fundamental difference is that toplink is for customers who have already written a custom application framework and who require just a persistence architecture, because they've already hand-written code to implement all of the other J2EE design patterns that are required to build real J2EE applications.
    Conversely, BC4J is for customers who want a complete J2EE Application Framework (and tightly integrated, award-winning toolset to go with it) to avoid having to write, test, debug, and maintain their own application framework.
    There is simply no evidence to backup your statement that BC4J only works for small applications. I am aware of at least 20 (and by now after a summer full of training additional Oracle Apps development teams in BC4J, perhaps over 30) that are using BC4J for full-scale, self-service J2EE web applications. Our BC4J reference info pages (link in this thread above) have references to customers who are using BC4J for large applications as well.

  • What is the benefit of using managed paths?

    Why not just put everything under /sites? What is the value in organizing sites under managed paths - aprt from it looking nice what other benefits does it bring? For one thing organizations change their structures sometimes drastically and surely admins
    don't want the added burden of users not wanting their team site under a certain path anymore etc. Unless it brings some other value I'm struggling to see the point - can anyone enlighten me?
    Cheers

    Hi Jonj,
    Managed path is path for your site collection.It is defining the path for sharepoint items within the sitecollection.Without this a sharepoint site collection would not e able to recognize any item inside the site.Please read the more from

  • What are the options other than iCloud for a "full" iPone backup?

    With iCloud you have limited options to increase the size of the capacity for backups:
    5gb - Free
    20gb - .99/month
    200gb - 3.99/month
    500gb - 9.99/moth
    1TB - 19.99/month
    With such a big gap between 20gb and 200gb, I am looking for feedback on other cloud options other than iCloud that will backup everything on my new iPhone 6.
    Thank you

    Managing the backup of your phone starts with knowing what is backed up, what is NOT, backed up and how to manage your data/phone content.
    What is NOT backed up to icloud:
    Apps, music, and any other iTunes purchase.  
    What IS backed up to icloud:
    your personal information, settings and data
    if you open settings, icloud, storage, manage storage, show all apps.
    this shows your app data amounts in decending order.   You can turn off backup for any app that doesn't need iCloud backup.  For example, I use Dropbox which auto uploads all my photo and video when I connect to home wifi, so I do not backup camera roll, so I turn the switch off.  I do backup data from other apps, but not all of them.
    I backup an iPad and iPod touch to the same iCloud account with the 5 free GBS and have not needed more than that.

  • What are the advantages of using ENC for a datasource

    Other than eliminating a tight binding between a EJB and a datasource , what are
    the other considerations and/or advantages of using JNDI ENC to define a datasource
    reference vs a direct lookup of a Datasource in the EJB implmentation?
    For example, are their performance advantages by the datasource being cached in
    JNDI ENC?

    Hello Bryan,
    Basically the main advantage is to not have the tight coupling between the EJB
    and the particular JNDI name that it's bounded to. Please refer to a previous
    post where I addressed this issue (perhaps a few days ago on this newsgroup).
    In addition, you will always gain performance improvements by caching the remote/local
    home objects for your EJBs.
    Best regards,
