IPad as "best way to browse the web"? Come on, Apple...

We're loyal buyers, so at least be honest with us. You can't seriously make the claim that the iPad will be the "best way to browse the web" and keep a straight face. Yes, here it is again: the "no Flash" complaint. Flash is not a luxury trimming on a few specialized sites, it is INTEGRAL to the web. For you to deny it to your users is atrocious.
Not only do we have to pay another data fee to AT&T for the 3G version, but for this expense we get NO flash features. That's crap, I have to say it.
And on problems like lack of USB...if you want to claim that the iPad will be the "best way to manage photos," then you need to explain how one gets the photos from our digital camera to the iPad in the first place. We ALL know the answer: we'll need another computer as an intermediary. So much for the logic of a compact, self-contained pad system! You just rendered vacationing with the iPad and a camera null.
I'm really upset you would produce such a crippled product and tell us how "cool" it is.

I'm really upset you would produce such a crippled product and tell us how "cool" it is.
I don't understand what all of the complaining is about, quite frankly. It will have the same utility value as an iPhone/iTouch (without the phone part) except that it will have a significantly larger screen and newer hardware. If you already use an iPhone or iTouch you already know how to survive without Flash.
Flash is not the be all, end all or do all of the iPad. Quite frankly, I have no sympathy for a company that has outsourced its entire operation to India and whose end-user support is the worst I've ever experienced. I'm talking about you, Adobe.
No Flash. No big deal. Get on with your lives.

What is the best way to pass the web url of a link embedded in a PDF document?

I have a WPF app in which is hosted an instance of axAcroPDF. I've included it via a System.Windows.Forms.UserControl that is a child of a System.Windows.Forms.Integration.WindowsFormsHost.
The PDF Document is essentially a flow chart in which there are links that are currently set to open a webpage by url. When the links are clicked in a standard adobe Acrobat X application they work fine, however when they are clicked within the WPF application's axAcroPDF component nothing happens. Furthermore I have also on another tab within my app a System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser on which I would like the linked url's to be opened. I need to construct a method, event listener and event handler so that when the link in the pdf file is clicked in the axAcroPDF object the url is passed to a method that will call System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser.Navigate() passing it the url as an argument. I've saught help within the WPF developer community and got some advice to use the "execute a javaScript" link behavior to call a method within my WPF app passing it the url as a string argument, but have been unable to implement this within my code. I click the link with the javascript but it does not result in a method call of the method in my WPF app. Can anyone help me with possibly a more simple way to just listen for the event that already exists with the "open a web link" action?
Thanks for any help,
Matthew

Hi guys. Just a quick question. My wife has a Mac Book Pro and when she is browsing the web she can use a two fingered gesture to go back to her previous page (by swiping from right to left). Is there any way to set that up on my iPad Mini. Many thanks.

Not in the Safari browser she can't. That is not supported on the iPad. There are other mobile browsers that do have that functionality - one is iCab Mobile.

Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

How are you trying to play them, in the iTunes store or the Music and Videos apps ? Downloaded and synced music and videos should be in the Music and Videos apps, and you can stop content that is only in the cloud from showing in them via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music and Videos 'off' (under the 'show all' heading).
If you don't have your music and films/TV shows in those two apps then you should be able to download them into those apps via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

How can I get rid of (404) screen and browse the web

This morning I foundthat I was able to log on to mozilla, get my e mail, bring up the yahoo home page, but I could not browse the web. I am getting an error screen that says (404). I have never had this before and my tech support was unable to help me.

CHances are google maps are never coming back as part of the bundled OS. Apple and Google seem to have parted ways (possibly has something to do with Google having their apps on other devices from other manufacturers but no one knows for sure)
Since preinstalled apps cannot be deleted, the most you can do is ignore the icon, shove it back on a back menu page (I have a 4th menu page on my iPad containing nothing but the bundled apps I consider worthless. I just ignore that page and never go there) and then put a shortcut to google maps on your iPad or find a third party map app you like better.

What is the safest way to browse the internet using iPhone 4s?

iPhone 4s
OK I love to use my iPhone to search the internet. I would say at least 50% of my time on the iPhone is doing just that.
When I search the internet using my iPhone, I like to use Google as my search engine.
I downloaded the Google app to use. I guess I always thought the Google app ran through the safari browser. My understanding is that safari is a safe browser particularly on the iPhone. But now I learn that by using the Google app, I am NOT going through the safari browser. My understanding is that the Google app goes directly to the Google servers. Ok
So when I look at my safari settings on the phone, I see that Google is the default browser.
So I guess story short, what is the safest way to browse the internet on my iPhone?
Using the Google app?
Using safari browser with Google as the search engine?

I'm not trying to be unkind but I think you're way overthinking the whole notion of safety on your iPhone. Unless you jailbreak it, you're not going to get viruses or malware, regardless of what browser you use. I generally use Chrome. If you use the Google search app (which I like very much, by the way), you're using its internal browser which, I suspect, is based on Chrome.
I remain unclear about what you're afraid is going to happen when you use the internet from you iPhone. Can the NSA track you? Sure. So does your mobile carrier. But they can both do that without you accesing the web. Can you stumble on a nefarious website that tries to trick you into giving up sensitive information? Sure. Again, you just have to use good judgement about who you give information to, just a you would in person. Browser doesn't matter. Can you still find really icky "adult' sites? Yup. But most of them require Flash to view the videos.
Relax, enjoy your phone. I suspect you're in more danger from Candy Crush (the average player spends almost $3 a DAY playing!!!) than anything you find through your browser.
Best of luck.

Whats the best way to get the server name in a servlet deployed to a cluster?

          Hi,

Best way to change the speed of a sequence of linked short clips?

I have a sequenced project of about 150 short 1 second clips linked together via a crossfade transition... I would like to make the timelapse faster. What is the best way to change the speed of the sequence or the clips themselves? I would rather change the sequence for it would be less labor intensive I would imagine!!
Thanks
RD

Or...select all the clips in the timeline, control-click (or right-click) on them and select 'Duration'. Change the duration to whatever will fit/fill the timespan you need, then hit OK.
If you're needing to change the dissolve as well, you should remove all but one of them first, then drag the remaining transition into the browser. Dbl-click it into the viewer, set the duration of what you want, then use the hand icon at top right and drag it back into the browser. Rename it relevent to it's new duration, then control-click on it and select "Make Default".
Now, set an inpoint at the first frame of your clips in the timeline, then drag all the shortened clips from the timeline into the canvas and release where it says 'Overwrite with Transition'.
That's another way to accomplish this.

Why can't I browse the web using Norton 360 to make sure my websites are safe?

I use Norton's 360 when I browse the web to make sure all the websites I visit are safe.It tells me they are safe by putting a green check mark next to the websites before I choose one. Firefox 4 beta is telling me it is incompatible. I would like to know if there is a way to manually add the toolbar and override this.

What is the best way to share over 1000 pictures on Apple TV?

What is the best way to share over 1000 pictures on Apple TV?

Creating Shared Photo Streams:
Shared Photo Streams are permanent iCloud albums for storing photos and videos that can sync across all your iCloud-enabled devices. This is different from your "My Photo stream" that's basically a running tally only holding photos for about a month or 1,000. Shared streams follow different rules...
In your photos app in an iPhone or ipad, at the bottom you'll see a "shared" icon. Choose it and then create a new shared stream, you don't have to actually share it with anyone when it prompts you for a contact just click "Create". Then choose the photos you want in there. If your Apple TV is linked to your iCloud account you will be able to see those shared streams.
See here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902.
Apple states:
How many photos and videos can be stored in a shared stream?
A shared stream can hold a maximum of 5000 photos and videos combined. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos or videos before adding new ones.
How long are iCloud Photo Sharing photos and videos stored in iCloud?
The photos and videos you share (and the comments or Likes associated with those photos) remain in iCloud until you or the contributor delete them manually, or until you delete the shared stream completely.

Random Lockups when browsing the Web.

When I am browsing the web on my MBP, I randomly get the spinning rainbow disk. It happens in Firefox and Safari. I have nothing Else Running.

Hi, I don't think there's any way to solve the issue of the Browser running out of memory.
Some tips that might help:
- Disable loading of images (this will save lots of memory) you can then load the images just in the page you want by going to options Show Images
- Try to go directly to the page you want to access. Every page you open will be chached into memory so by going directly to the address you want it will save memory.
- Close the pages you no longer need. Many times the browser will open additional pages (a small number in the top bar will show the page number) if you don't need to keep the other pages open close them.
- Everytime you move away from a page that has loaded go to options and manually clear the cache. The cache of images is actually stored in memory and that causes some of the problems by deleting the cache you can free up memory but if you use the "back" it will have to re-load the page
- Use the "Services" browser. This is the WAP browser, so the pages don't look as good but uses less memory.
I hope this helps, it has helped me get through many pages before it runs out of memory.
