I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

I will use Barclays Card for 18 month free interest.
I wil ask Apple clerk to avoid LG monitor.
I will buy those in Apple store.
Which one will you recommend?

Tha's something you need to decide for yourself.
Do you think you need 16GB of memory or 8 will be enough?
Do you need to carry your macbook around with you more often? if so just get the 13" it's easier to carry.
Or maybe you enjoy watching media on a bigger screen?
As for word processing it shouldn't be a problem on both notebooks.
Also can you afford buying the 15"?
And what about the hard drive capacity?
So my advice is to consider these aspects, make a list of pros and cons and see what you come up with

IOS4.1,4.33,5.01,5.1，which one is better for 3GS?

The 4.1 version for 3 gs is the best one .
as far as 5.1 its considerably slows the 3gs and 4.3.3 has known issues like wifi signal dropping and battery drain. so you must stay on ios 4.1 for your 3gs.

I keep in touch with my clients via social network... When my clients wants something I have to respond fast... When my clients wants the product now, they want it now... When it take me forever to download my product for sell well I loose clients and business ... I tried evrything with my computers getting 2 exterior stockage so that I don't overload my computers trying to keep the speed but it doesn't work...

Tks you for your help and sorry for too much blabla

Rock and hard place - lets say there is a perfect storm - and you have been though too many OS "1.0" versions to know that new hardware + new OS and the "787Dreamliner" shake-down cruise.
A Mac Pro 2010 as a backup machine yes, backup machine, for $1800 that runs 10.6.8 and up, as I would never rely on or have just one computer for my business. And still get the next model when / if etc.
Even a new MacBook Pro Retina is quite a lot packed in - and portable - as a 2nd system.
Ideas for systems and performance upgrades:
http://www.macperformanceguide.com
Mac Pro: 4x4TB storage, SSD system, 48GB RAM, 6-core 3.33GHz processor - even though "old" is still solid mature and "known entity." Cutting edge is not ideal for a professional business. And custom 12-core 3.33GHz if money is not a burden.
iMac lets you outgrow but offers those Thunderbolt storage. But a Mac Pro can use large SAS storage arrays off ATTO PCIe controller. So it is only when sharing a TB box, which are still at this point more propritary and really if it doesn't support mini-SAS/SATA along with TB...

Which one is better for uploading data LSMW or ECATT ?

I am going to implement my product in customer place.which tool I can use for uploading data.ECATT or LSMW whch one is better to upload master data and transaction data ,which one is user friendly?kindly guide me on this.

Hello TJK,
LSMW and eCATT has different functionalitites and different advantages, but common thing is they are used for data upload.
eCATT is mainly used as a testing tool for follow-on transactions i.e. Purchase Requisition, Purchase order, Goods Receipt etc.
Where as LSMW is used for Master data (Materials, Customer, Vendor, BOM, Inforecord etc) and some of the transactions data (Purchase order, purchase requisition)
There are many standard objects are available in LSMW so most of the consultants use LSMW, but again depends on the requirement.
This will help to understand the basics of eCATT.
/people/sumeet.kaul/blog/2005/07/26/ecatt-an-introduction
and here it is for LSMW

Hope this will help.

WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR YEAR 6 STUDENT, MACBOOK PRO 13.3" i5 WITH RETINA VS i7?

Both with same Protection and Adobe CS6 Design package for teaching.
Looking for your opinion
Thanks

6 year old boy?
Don't you mean a 16 year old?
A 6 year old can barely lift a MacBook Pro and certainly can't use complicated CS6.
I wouldn't trust a 16 year old with a $2000-$3000 computer + $2000 in software unless they did some thing to earn it, a 6 year old will likely take it outside in the yard and smear mud all over it.
Most parents who get they kids a computer usually get a iMac as it's stationary and not prone to being lost, tossed or stolen.
Show me where this 6 year old is with a $2000 laptop and I'll show you a army of thugs waiting to take it from him.

Which one is better for playback/performance - iMac or Mac Pro?

I'm getting a new mac and I don't care that much about the render time as I do about being able to play back my effects in real time. I know that both the $1500 iMac and the Mac Pro would work with Premiere and I'm pretty sure I won't have any problems with the Mac Pro but obviously I'm on a budget so my question is - will the iMac be able to handle effects in real time without the need for me to render first?

It makes no difference whatsoever.

Business Delegate- JSP or JSP- JavaBean, which one is better?

My current approach is to use a struts action to call a business delegate(pojo) which will go to the session facade and get database info then the JSP simply becames a FETCHER(which helps on reusablity since I can use them for many tables), but I also know I could use struts action to just simply forward to a JSP then retrive the info via JavaBean->EjbSessionFacade
I'm confused which one is better for performance, scalability, maintainability, etc

Whatever flow you are following is generally used flow and its correct aslo. Dont think its a bad design. One more think you have to look into is, minimize the remote calls as much as possible. Instead of doing many remote calls you can use EJB local object to process all your business logic and finally you can come out using single Remote call for a process. Look after this.. it will improve performance.

I would like to buy am Ipad for my nephew. Which one is better to play games, ipad or ipad mini

I would like to buy an ipad for my nephew. Which one is better, ipad or ipad mini? He wants to play games, and put lots of app.

Probably the full iPad, because it has a better graphics card. The larger screen helps too.

I need opinions. I currently on dilemma on buying iPod Touch 4 or Samsung Galaxy Tab. Comparing these two, which one is better? Why? Tq.

Well, I want to buy a new gadget for myself. But I currently don't know which one to choose yet. Both iPod Touch 4 and Samsung Galaxy Tab are great inventions! But i can't afford to buy both of them. So i'm asking all of you, any ideas or opinions on these two gadget? Which one is better and why? What do iPod 4 have that Samsung Tab don't have and vice versa. Thank you so much if you replying this.

I'm having the same issues you are having on my S3. I was on the phone with tech support (Verizon) last Friday for about an hour. I had to get a bit nasty with the tech when he attempted to blame Samsung for this (Samsung didn't release that update without Verizon's OK- and have you noticed Verizon has added their logo to the startup now?).
My data usage has gone up, battery draining much faster (and I have an extended battery!) and I had to re-load some of my widgets on the phone (including the My Verizon widget). The tech had me start the phone in Safe Mode (holding down the power, volume rocker and Home button at the same time until the Samsung logon screen shows then let go of the power button while continuing to hold the other two buttons until the phone logs on completely).
Whatever he did remotely seemed to make the phone act better yet he decided I need the update 'reflashed' to the phone. First he credited my account $30 to take care of any possible data overages. He then contacted my local Best Buy store to see if they could 'reflash' (upload the update again) the phone.
I went to Best Buy and had it done the next day. I think the phone was better before the 'reflash'! The tech gave me his personal Verizon cell number so I will be calling him back today.
An update for the update is coming yet the release date hasn't been confirmed. The tech said my account will be monitored for any overages in which I will received credits to cover it.
Good luck, Ginger- and I agree with you: if this doesn't get fixed I will move my business to T-Mobile!

Shutdown or Sleep, which one is better??

I usually use my Mac Mini about 3 hours a day. At the end of the day, should I shutdown the machine or simply put it in sleep mode? Which one is better? What is the difference?
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

791/3237
Hi Snawman,
I agree with the others. In your case, better shut it down for saving energy.
"Which one is better? What is the difference?":
- Sleep allows to very quickly resume any task that was running. Leave all applications, documents etc open, they'll just be here at the same place, in the same state, as when you left your computer.
It's just a matter of quickly going back to work, not having to retype some websites login passwords for example, etc.
- On the wear and tear point of view, the difference is so small, your Mini will be obsolete and replaced with a newer Mac, far before something breaks down just because of to many cold boots!
Yes, the most demanding task for a computer's hardware (and probably OS too), is a cold boot.
Sleep, instead of Shutdown, keeps your computer components from a lot of temperature fluctuations, and the hard disk too just spins down, instead of completely setting itself down, then up again from scratch (and cold).
Again,
these differences exist, but they are not so important that you would take them into account and change your energy saving habits.
- Macs are well designed to cope with many different kinds of users/usages.
"About running yourself the nightly automatic maintenance":
In case you didn't know already about this: yes, just open Terminal and paste this command
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
once or twice a month.
In order to make sure all three maintenance tasks run until the end, after you entered your admin password and hit Return, just leave Terminal open like 15 minutes or so (until you see its prompt again).
There is no hurry to quit it, as the maintenance runs in the background: Just use your computer in the meanwhile.
Enjoy your Mac!
