Idea of a product development for Apple (what do you think)

This is a photoshopped picture I did of an Apple Macbook charger, were there is the ability to disconnect the cable with the magsafe unit.
This gives Apple users the ability to change the broken electric cord for a new one without out having to change the whole charger unit
as also it can be considered good for the environment
I am not sure if this has come up before, but it would be very usefull to have this option.
what do you think and is there a way to influence Apple to do this modification?

Thank you Keith for your information.
In this case I am not worried about the origin of the idea and some compensation to the creator. If this modification will lead to happier costumers of Apple and more efficient use of material and thus better for the environment (as Apple claim they are always improving ) then I am satisfied.
It is good that Apple has this Policy and I agree that they can use any idea submission to them as their own. This Idea is so basic and easy to carry out that I believe that many others have thought of it.
Sometimes it can be good to get a pair of extra eyes or brain to spot were you can improve.
thanks again for your info

An iBook for £20 - what do you think?

I know this is not really destined to be put on this discussion forum, but the thought of a bargain got the better of me.
I registered and risked just £20 at:
http://www.cheapibook.co.uk/
Has anyone on this forum ever had any success with this website or similar offers?
I didn't really need an iBook, but thought that £20 was such a small amount, hmmmmmmmmmmm.

If it's too good to be true, it is !!
I don't see what is too good to be true. You are using your money to buy an ebook (electronic book) and then your name is put in a list. Your odds are one in 50 that you will win the ibook because they wait till 50 people have entered in order to get the mony needed to buy the ibook. In otherwords, it could be true since it is not really something for nothing anymore than buying a raffle ticket is. Your odds are pretty low though. But it can easily be a scam also. I don't see how they can be held accountable on whether they have given the ibook to anybody.

ICase Smart Cover For iPad What Do you Think?

Just come across this iCase
http://www.icasecovers.com/ and wondering if any of you have used it?
Cheers

Restart - hold the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up - hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset - Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
Restore - Hold off on that one for now
You can try this as well - close open apps from the task bar. Double tap the home button and the task bar appears with all of your recent apps. Tap and hold down on one of the icons until they all wiggle. Then tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon to close the app. Close all of the apps in the task bar. Then restart your iPad as described above.

Software development for apple

Hi everybody.
I intend to start developing for apple products and have some questions related to the subject.
First of all hardware,
My choice fell on mac mini
2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
2GB memory
500GB hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
OS X Lion
The questions
1.       Is 2GB memory enough? 4GB maybe?
2.       Is an optical drive needed?
3.       Which non-apple displays are compatible with mac mini, which mouse?
4.       What hardware is additionally needed?
Now software
1.       Is Cocoa Touch framework part of OS X Lion package?
2.       Is XCode 4 part of OS X Lion package? Which tools besides it do I need for software development? iPhone emulator, is it for free?
3.       Which implementation of common lisp allows calling CL code from objective-c one?
4.       How is apple developer support? Is it good, expensive?
5.       Will apple support native code apps in the future also? Why I ask, I don’t intend to develop in HTML5 and JavaScript.
6.       What about inter process communication, something like MS COM?
7.       What do I have to pay attention to in general when starting developing software for apple?
Thanks and best regards.

Hardware:
Max the ram in all case...buy 3rd party and install yourself.
There are far too many monitors to list them here. Shop according to your budget...walk into a retailer and test drive there.
Additional hardware is not required, of course...unless you need to scan documents, create videos, etc.
Software:
1. Tools are free to download
2. Free to download
3. eh?
4. Two free support tickets are included....fee based after that. Been great in my case. Forums are free.
5. Native? is supported
6. Sure
7. Broad question...if your discipline is in order you'll be good to go.

Would be nice for Apple to create means for deleting email across all devices. Time consuming device by device especially for members receiving many emails. What do you think gang?!

How about Apple creating a means to delete email across devices especially when you have like 4 Apple devices (Mac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone) Would benefit those of us receiving 13 - 1700 messages across the products. iOS 8 coming in fall. What do you think gang. Very frustrating and time consuming!!

If you have a suggestion for product improvement, provide feedback to Apple - you aren't talking to them here.

Can sap ps be used for product development for cost monitoring?

sap-pp is configured but client insisting for product development they want sap-ps ,can sap ps be used for product development for cost monitoring in textile industry?and how to configure with reference to sap-pp?
venkatdas vanga

Hi,
SAP PS has good Integration with PP and FI CO modules. So goes well along the ETO scenario.
The normal process is that Project is created and goes in to design phase , where we design product as per customer's requirement . Design BOM helps in this.Once you design is ready you can generate Production Orders base on MRP generated with reference to Projects.
All the cost including overheads are charged to the Project as actual cost.
These costs are later settled to Cost Center.

Another account user is using my apple id as their rescue email. Apple know this but expect me to contact him directly rather that let lim know his error. Seem strange and a recipe for conflict. What do you think?

Another apple account user has put my apple id as their rescue email. Apple know this but expect me to contact him directly rather that let lim know his error. Seem strange and a recipe for conflict. What do you think?

Primary and alternate email addresses need to be verified but a rescue email address doesn't, it can be added to an account and used without being verified (you will get a verify button when adding/changing it, but the system doesn't force it to be verified). I would hope that the person using the email address as their rescue email address will notice that they aren't getting reset emails and that after contacting Support to get their security questions / password reset he/she will check what they've set it to and change it. The OP won't be able to log into the other account as he/she won't know its primary or alternate ids.

Best IDE & Platform Configuration? What do you think?

What do you think the best IDE is out there? I want to compile and create applications as well as servlets and beans, but my focus would be on the beans, servlets, jsp, etc, the web stuff. Once I have the IDE for that, what is the best configuration for developing under that environment. For example I would like to use the the JavaMail API as well, and that is available for the J2EE. So I can install both the J2SE and J2EE SDK's right? Should I accept their default installation directories? Is it possible to move files, the .jar files for example over the to a single directory for centralization? Help, trying to get an understaning how to create a nice development environment. Simple, efficient, etc.
Thanks so much!!

I personally think Eclipse is outstanding. I used JBuilder for a while, but it insisted on formatting code the JBuilder way. Eclipse also has refactoring, which is a major bonus. Moving classes is now a few clicks instead of performing a search-replace on all your files. There are UML and dozens of other types of plug-in.
As far as setting-up your environment, I normally duplicate a web application's deployment. So, the external JAR's I need are in WEB-INF/lib. The IDE should take care of classpath issues, if you perform the initial project set-up properly. I would also learn Jakarta's Ant. It makes deployment a lot easier, at the expense of some up-front development.

You are talking to fellow users on these forums, not iTunes Support or Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
For the Camera app, try closing it via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the iPad's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
In terms of syncing, you will need iTunes on your computer - if you haven't already downloaded it then you can do so from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can conncet the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S), and use the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to sycn your content to the iPad.

For the excel file, what app are you viewing/editing it in ? If the values are different then it may be that the app that you are using doesn't support all the formulas that are being used in the spreadsheet. Apps that 'support' excel documents include Apple's Numbers app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

What do you think of this plan for a DVD?

In order to avoid problems with the interaction between the TITLE and MENU remote buttons I've reported in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151541&tstart=0 and further problems with the remote RETURN button, I am considering designing my DVD as follows:
Main menu with four buttons:
1) Play track 1
2) Play track 2 with audio stream 1
3) Go to chapter menu
4) Play story in track 2 with audio stream 2
Chapter menu with a button for each chapter and a button to return to the main menu
Disable remote TITLE button in both menus, both tracks, and the story
Set remote RETURN button in main menu to go to chapter menu
Set remote RETURN button in chapter menu to go to main menu and highlight button 3
What do you think? Is it weird that the remote TITLE button would be disabled? Is it weird that the remote RETURN button would go down from the main menu to the chapter menu?

What do you think of this Design for Multiple Threads

Hi Java Experts ;
I'm curious to know what you think about this design for a multhreaded app i'm working on.
I have a controller thread that (a.) creates threads and (b.) keeps a reference to threads that it creates (by sticking them in a hashtable along with the generated Id for that thread).
When a created thread completes its job, it decrements the thread counter and removes its reference from the hashtable before it finishes its run method.
Now here's the interesting part in my controller thread i'm creating new threads on the fly with this infinite loop
     public void run(){
          while(true){
               try{
                    Thread.sleep(500);
               }catch(InterruptedException e){
               if(threadCounter<maxThreadCount && moreJobsToDo.size()>0){
                    createDomainThread();
          }//end while
what do you think about this pattern ? My goal is to maintain about 200+ created threads running at all times with this pattern.

jeff kesslerman's book says about threads
"5.2.3 Threads
The impact that threads have on RAM footprint isn't a problem for most programs, but running threads do need space to store their stack state, and the system- specific data structures do consume memory.
Because runtime implementations vary widely in how threads are handled, you might encounter situations where the impact threads have on footprint is significant. For example, some ports of the JRE create a heavyweight OS process for each running thread. In an application that uses many threads, this means that thread costs, rather than class or object costs, can become the dominant factor in the program's memory consumption.
You shouldn't avoid using threads-they're necessary in many cases, and generally don't have a large impact on footprint. However, you should be aware that the impact can be very different across runtimes. This is one of the reasons it's a good idea to measure performance characteristics under your program's different target environments. "
Question #1: how does garbage collection go about clearing the stack state, and the system- specific data structures that consume memory.
Question #2: in my situation, each worker thread's activity is not as brief as a simple server request. Each thread does a lot work and does a lot of network connections. on average I would say 100 http request - each of which can be easily blocked or delayed significantly. Therefore each worker thread may operate for between 2 - 10 minutes.
Do you think thread pooling is useful in this situation ?

What do you think of tune up software for iTunes?

What do you think of Tune up sofware for Itunes?

I agree. I've used iTunes since iTunes 9.0. The new 11.0 update is horrible. With the now missing left side menu, it's very difficult to navigate. You don't know where you are or where to go. I delete everything Apple from my computer, and inverted back to iTunes 10.7.
