IPhone 4 or iPad 2 - what is more practical for a college student?

So, here's the deal. I'm going soon to a college and, obviously, for a fair amount time I will be needing a laptop. The only problem is that my laptop is incredibly heavy and the battery life absolutely stinks, so I was thinking of getting myself one of these fancy Apple products, which nearly have everything a laptop has. An iPad 2 would therefore be perfect for all my needs as a student. A couple of days ago, however, I ran into a store which is selling an all-new 16GB white iPhone 4 at a price of € 499. The very same iPhone model has been my greatest wish-product for a very long time now. It is cheaper than the 32GB iPad model which I intend to buy (€ 579), so the iPhone 4 would normally be my first choice here. The only "problem" is that I already own an iPhone 3GS, which isn't that bad when compared to an iPhone 4. So, what should I do?

i dont think a college class is a great place to use an ipad unless you can type out a lot of words per minute on it. I use my ipad as something that lays around and i pick it up when im sitting somewhere or am watching tv. This would be great for college but not in the class room. I talk to my sister about this all the time and see if students are using ipads a lot in college classes and she says there is some but they just end up playing games on them. If you do end up going for the ipad itll take a lot more dedication to stay focused in class. My sister has an iphone and uses it for a lot more school stuff than i would use my ipad for, but i do think both would help you they are both the best at what they do its just what you think youll need them for. Imop i think you should go to class for a week or two and then decide.

    I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.

    Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
    A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
    Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
    Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

  • What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

  • What's best practice for logging messages in pageflow?

    What's best practice for logging messages in pageflow?
    Workshop complains when I try to use a Log4J logger by saying it's not serializable. Is there a context similar to JWSContext that you can get a logger from?
    There seems to be a big hole in the documentation on debug logging in workflows and JSP pages.
    thanks,
    Rodger...

    Make the configuration change in setDomainEnv.cmd. Find where the following variable is set:
    LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE
    and change it to your desired path.
    In your Global.app class, instantiate a static Logger like this:
    transient static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Global.class);
    You should be logging now as long as you have the categories and appenders configured properly in your log4j.xml file.

  • What is best practice for installing Yosemite

    I am currently on OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5 Macbook pro 13.  2.6 ghz intel for i5, 8gb 1600 mhz ddr3.
    I am now downloading yosemite 10.10.1 but since i've been reading all these negative feedback so far, i am having second thoughts if i should continue to install the upgrade or not.
    Any suggestion What is best practice for installing Yosemite?  Or is it not yet time to upgrade since the platform is premature yet?
    Thanks in advance.

    Check your apps are compatible with 10.10 - roaringapps.com
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck can show what is running & installed - look for updates on the developer own sites.
    If you have many kernel extensions or startup items look for updates to them too
    Take a full bootable backup to another disk via Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper! or Disk Utility
    Disconnect the backup before you begin any install (ideally set it aside & leave it untouched incase you need to go back to 10.9)
    Personally I prefer a clean install when there are signs of multiple migrations (if you have upgraded several OS for a period of years). Setup Assistant/ Migration Assistant can import user data from a backup, but consider that Apps & 'other data' should be manually reinstalled from the latest versions.
    If you clean install (erase the HD before installation) then make sure you deauthorise iTunes & any other apps that are associated online (like find my Mac).

  • What are best practice for packaging and deploying j2EE apps to iAS?

    We've been running a set of J2EE applications on a pair of iAS SP1b for about a year and it has been quite stable.
    Recently however we have had a number of LDAP issues, particularly when registering and unregistering applications (registering ear files sometimes fails 1st time but may work 2nd time). Also We've noticed very occasionally that old versions of classes sometimes find their way onto our machines.
    What is considered to be best practice in terms of packaging and deployment, specifically:
    1) Packaging - using the deployTool that comes with iAS6 SP1b to package is a big manual task, especially when you have 200+ jsp files. Are people out there using this or are they scripting it with a build tool such as Ant?
    2) Deploying an existing application to multiple iAS's. Are you guys unregistering old application then reregistering new application? Are you shutting down iAS whilst doing the deployment?
    3) Deploying ear files can take 5 to 10 mins, is this normal?
    4) In a clustered scenario where HTTPSession is shared what are the consequences of doing deployments to data stored in session?
    thanks in asvance for your replies

    You may want to consider upgrading your application server environment to a newer service pack. There are numerous enhancements involving the deployment tool and run time layout of your application that make clear where you're application is loading its files from.
    If you've at a long running application server environment, with lots of deployments under your belt, you might start to notice slow downs in deployment and kjs start time. Generally this is due to garbage collecting in your iAS registry.
    You can do several things to resolve this. The most complete solution is to reinstall the application server. This will guarantee a clean ldap registry. Of course you've got to restablish your configurations and redeploy your applications. When done, backup your application server install space with the application server and directory server off. You can use this backup to return to a known configuation at some future time.
    For the second method: <B>BE CAREFUL - BACKUP FIRST</B>
    There is a more exhaustive solution that involves examining your deployed components to determine the active GUIDS. You then search the NameTrans section of the registry searching for Applogic Servlet *, and Bean * entries that represent your previously deployed components but are represented in the set of deployed GUIDs. Record these older GUIDs, remove them from ClassImp and ClassDef. Finally remove the older entries from NameTrans.
    Best practices for deployment depend on your particular environmental needs. Many people utilize ANT as a build tool. In later versions of the application server, complete ANT scripts are included that address compiling, assembly and deployment. Ant 1.4 includes iAS specific targets and general J2EE targets. There are iAS specific targets that can be utilized with the 1.3 version. Specialized build targets are not required however to deploy to iAS.
    Newer versions of the deployment tool allow you to specify that JSPs are not to be registered automatically. This can be significant if deployment times lag. Registered JSP's however benefit more fully from the services that iAS offers.
    2) In general it is better to undeploy then redeploy. However, if you know that you're not changing GUIDs, recreating an existing application with new GUIDs, or removing registered components, you may avoid the undeploy phase.
    If you shut down the KJS processes during deployment you can eliminate some addition workload on the LDAP server which really gets pounded during deployment. This is because the KJS processes detect changes and do registry loads to repopulate their caches. This can happen many times during a deployment and does not provide any benefit.
    3) Deploying can be a lengthy process. There have been improvements in that performance from service pack to service pack but unfortunately you wont see dramatic drops in deployment times.
    One thing you can do to reduce deployment times is to understand the type of deployment. If you have not manipulated your deployment descriptors in any way, then there is no need to deploy. Simply drop your newer bits in to the run time space of the application server. In later service packs this means exploding the package (ear,war, or jar) in to the appropriate subdirectory of the APPS directory.
    4) If you've changed the classes of objects that have been placed in HTTPSession, you may find that you can no longer utilize those objects. For that reason, it is suggested that objects placed in session be kept as simple as possible in order to minimize this effect. In general however, is not a good idea to change a web application during the life span of a session.

  • What is best practice for conditional rendering?

    i have a set of radio buttons that conditionally render another set, which in turn conditionally render a 3rd set.
    i am doing this by using a valueChangeListener on an h:selectOneRadio
    when i click yes on the 1st set it renders the 2nd set.
    when i click yes on the 2nd set it renders the 3rd set.
    when i click no on the 1st set now it correctly removes the 2nd & 3rd sets, the method also nulls the values.
    when i click yes on the 1st set, it renders the 2nd set with the old values even though they were nulled. and i can see in the debugger they are still null.
    so there seems to be an issue updating the model, but i dont know what that issue is. im sure it just has something to do with the way i am trying this conditional render. please see below for my first field and my valueChangeListener method.
    any help with what is a best practice for this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

         }i also tried doing this another way by just using an action method attached to the a4j:support tag, but that introduced a different set of issue. so ill leave that out for now unless that is the direction someone would like to direct my issue in.
    Thanks in advance

    Similar issue is covered and explained here: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/10/populate-child-menus.html]. Not sure if it solves your problem as you're using ajax4jsf whereas I don't, but it might give new insights. To the point you might need to bind the component(s) and use setValue(null) or setSubmittedValue(null).

  • What is best practice for dealing with Engineering Spare Parts?

    Hello All,
    I am after some advice regarding the process for handling engineering spare parts in PM. (We run ECC 5)
    Our current process is as follows:
    All materials are set up as HIBE's
    Each material is batch managed
    The Batch field is used for the Bin location
    We are now looking to role out PM to a site that has in excess of 50,000 spare parts and want to make sure we use best practice for handling the spare parts. We are now considering using a basic WM setup to handle the movement of parts.
    Please can you provide me with some feedback on what you feel the best practice is for dealing with these parts?
    We are looking to set up a solution that will us to generate pick lists etc and implment a scanning solution to move parts in and out of stores.
    Regards
    Chris

    Hi,
    I hope all the 50000 spare parts are maintained as stock items.
    1. Based on the usage of those spare parts, try to define safety stock & define MRP as "Reorder Point Planning". By this, you can avoid petty cash purchase.
    2. By keeping the spare parts (atleast critical components) in stock, Planned Maintenance as well as unplanned maintenance will not get delayed.
    3. By doing GI based on reservation, qty can be tracked against the order & equipment.
    As this question is MM & WM related, they can give better clarity on this.
    Regards,
    Maheswaran.

    With Tiger there is a migration assistant that will move everything over from your Powerbook to your new iMac G5. All you need is a firewire cable and when prompted in your first start-up select migration assistant and connect the two computers. You will need to boot up your Powerbook holding down the 't' key before you connect the two together. Good luck, Jack.
