Is Keynote a good choice for this kind of video presentation?

Can Keynote easily be set up and used for the presenter to work from a slide table mode with both names (as well as numbers) and good-size customizable thumbnails of the visual material, primarily videos, which can be clicked on so as to play for the audience, on a projector (second monitor), each clip? This would allow nonlinear access to the videos, and spur-of-the-moment changes of order. I would use Final Cut Pro for the presentations, but this will not be available in many venues. I understand the current iMovie does not have a timeline, so it will be less than ideal. Is Keynote a good choice for this? If not, what would be?

I have I work 09 (newest version 5.0.2) and the presenter window only shows the next slide.
I have never had a need for a multi-slide view, because my presentations are all developed for education and are in a pre-determined order.
I can clearly see that this "pick a slide" feature could be quite useful when engaged in a conversational presentation rather than a seminar or classroom format that I use.
To change the order you would have to flip from multi-slide or disengage the program and choose a slide from the builder/creator menu. (Basically stop the presentation and that could be awkward)
If I am missing something, someone pipe in, I opened a presentation and was only able to get "next slide" up on the presenter menu.

Encore a good choice for authoring Blu-ray videos with complex menus?

I currently use FCP X for editing videos of live band performances. I have been dissapointed in Toast Titanium for aurthoring the resulting Blu-ray videos because of the limited menu options.......I will often have 30 separate videos on a Blu-ray disk (one per song).
I am considering buying Premiere Pro CS6 to obtain Encore because I have been told it provides more complex menu options.
(1) Are you happy with Encore for aurthoring Blu-ray videos?
(2) Would I also need to buy After Effects?
I ask the 2nd question because I have watched an excellent "Authoring with Adobe Encore" tutorial here:
http://www.precomposed.com/tutorials/products/pro_motion_menu_kits/Encore_Authoring/
These folks offer some nice looking Menu Kits
http://www.precomposed.com/products/pro_motion_menu_kits/
but they use After Effects as well as Encore.
Thanks for the help.

Will Java 3D be a good choice for this game. Screen Shots inside.

My company is deciding what 3D engine to use for a game we are currently designing. It needs to look as good as a game called Mech Commander 2 Here are some screenshots:

Will Java3D be enough for a turn based strategy game with graphics along these lines?? We have looked into the Chrome2 engine and several others but they are very expensive, so that is why we are interested in using Java3D since its free, and our expertise is Java.

Java 3D would be able to replicate those scenes except for the shadows. You would need to find a way to do that yourself. Another part in your decision will be if Java 3D will be able to handle your polygon count and frame rate expectations. That is a tough question to answer without giving it a try. You will also need to consider how to integrate collision detection, collision response, sound, music, user interaction, camera control and a game menu system (all not part of Java 3D). There are Java solutions for many of those.
The buildings, mechs, fence and trees look like they are done with a 3D modeler. Java 3D has several loaders available to to that.
The smoke, flames, etc can done with a particle system like ours (www.indietechnologies.com) or you can build it yourself.
The fog can be done in Java 3D.
There are terrain implementations outside of Java 3D (www.j3d.org) that could provlde variable LOD and you can create the scorch marks, etc on the terrain with multitexturing (part of Java 3D).
There are other options to consider like the JOGL, LWGL, jMonkeyEngine, Xith3D, Agency9 and few others. Some use a scene graph approach, others are more closer to the metal. Have a look at www.javagaming.org.

How can I define an XML schema for this kind of XML

Hi, There:
I want to generate an XML file like:
<customer>
</customer>
<transaction>
</transaction>
<customer>
</customer>
which have multiple customer elements and multiple transactions as well, and they can happen in mixed sequence. Can any one give me some idea about how can I create an XML schema for this kind of xml? (<xsd:complextype> <xsd:sequence> ) seems not work)
Thanks in advance
David

Use a group then make it a choice, like this;
<xs:element name="Parent">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:group ref="Group" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:group name="Group">
<xs:choice>
<xs:element ref="OptionOne" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element ref="OptionTwo" />
</xs:choice>
</xs:group>
<xs:element name="OptionOne">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="Type" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="OptionTwo">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="Type" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
This allows XML like this
<Parent>
<OptionTwo ........ />
<OptionOne ........ />
<OptionTwo ........ />
<OptionOne ........ />
<OptionOne ........ />
</Parent>

Is unlocked iphone 3gs a good choice for use in the UK with PAYG?

I've never had a smartphone. I'm thinking of buying the unlocked iphone 3gs to use when I'm in the UK 2-3 (months a year). I would be using a pay as you go sim with a little data use included. All I need is the ability to call, text, email, blog, and check facebook. Would this phone be a good choice for me. I'm hearing that there are some problems with battery life on the iphone 4. Does the 3gs have those issues? Also what does the 's' stand for?
Any helpful info apppreciated.
Robertson

This is the deal I'm looking at. As you can see it comes with the upated OS. $375. Is already a bit more than I would normally spend on a phone.
iPhone 3GS 8GB Black — Unlocked
Get all the features of iPhone 3GS (8GB1) in a phone that you can activate and use on the supported GSM wireless carrier of your choice.2
If you don’t want a multiyear service contract or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone 3GS is a great choice. It arrives without a SIM card, so you’ll need an active SIM card from any supported GSM carrier worldwide.
Get iPhone 3GS for AT&T.
iPhone 3GS starts at $0 when you sign up for a new two-year plan with AT&T.

Is BI Integrated Planning / STS right tools for this kind of application

Hi Everyone,
I need your advise/help. I need to create a simple web application to do as below:
1) Data Entry Form on web - Enter / Edit / Delete data i.e. order entry
2) Save the data in BW cube or datastore
3) E-mail to Managers for approvals
4) Click a button to approve
5) Retrieve the data from BW and show it as a web report
Is BI Integrated Planning / STS right tools for this kind of application? If yes, can you please recommend some documentations?; if no, Which tool will be the best fit for this kind of requirement?
Thanks a Million, Jin Freda

STS allows you to lock/release/approve one set of plan data (say many records). I thought your requirement is to approve individual order documents. configuring this in STS would be unnecessarily complicated I think.
Similarly IP is to work on a set of data (say all order quantity for a region or period), not for individual orders. Building all the checks and validations that you would probably want in an order entry may not be easy to build in IP.
VC or Webdynpro can't post to a infocube. They can certainly write to a transactional ODS (which probably would be a better place to write such data).
I have limited knowledge of your requirement so can't say whether it is a problem - probably not a show-stopper. If you are entering a set of orders in one go, may be IP is appropriate, but if you are looking for an application where users may be posting individual orders at random times, IP would be a bad choice I think.

After confirming that all your stuff is on the drive, delete the photos you have copied. You will need to empty the iPhototrash to free up the space.

Servlets a good choice for such a game?

Hi,
I'd like to write a game like darkgalaxy ( www.darkgalaxy.com)
Here is a screenshot
http://images.darkgalaxy.com/home/screenshots/7.jpg
The game has no animations. It uses a simple web interface and is turn based.
So it shouldn't be too difficult to write something similar.
I just wondered if servlets are a good choice for that or if php is more suited. I have virtually no experience with php therefore I'm not sure. php does have the advantage of running on nearly every webserver but then again the project is not that small and the code should be easily extendable and reusable for other similar games.
thanks

Your first decision has already been made: a browser will be your client.
After that decision, it really boils down to what you are most comfortable with. I would say that as the complexity of your application grows the appeal of objects will increase as well. In any case, any server that can have Java installed (which just about any web hosting or co-location company would provide already) can run Servlets. There should be no compatibility issues there.

Return it to the pawn shop and get your money back. The device is permanently locked and with the previous owner to unlock it you can never use it except as a paperweight.

If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466, and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

Wow are you serious..? Man that sucks...I hope I can get a return on it, damn.
EDIT: I spoke with there customer support line, they said they could RMA the power supply with a new revision that works with the board, I don't know what I'm going to do though.
Regardless if you get an updated model which has addressed the compatibility issue, you are better off with a single +12V rail PSU like the ones I suggested.

NEC/Sony AD5630A good choice for PB DVD?

Looking for a good replacement for the Matshita in my PB. Pioneers seem to be almost non-existant, so I am thinking of going with an NEC/Sony AD 5630A, which I can an Apple-branded on new on eBay for about $50. I think this is the drive they are using in the ext DVD drive for the Airbook.
Anyone know anything positive or negative about this drive?

I found this interesting topic in the Mac Specific forum of RPC1.org: http://tinyurl.com/6lhksj. Apparently somebody has flashed RPC1 firmware onto a OptiArc AD-5630-A via Boot Camp on a Intel Mac. That forum topic in the Mac Specific section of RPC1.org's forums has a link to a RPC1 firmware dump for the drive you're interested in.
You need a utility called Binflash to flash the RPC1 firmware dump onto a Nec OptiArc AD-5630-A which is at Liggy & Dee's site: http://binflash.cdfreaks.com/.

Is RMI best choice for this?

Hello!
I have some experience using the .NET Remoting with VB. I have understood that Java RMI is Java equivalent to .NET Remoting?
I'd like to serialize my objects and transfer them between the server and the client in internet.
I have red some opinions saying that RMI is good for intranet but does have major latency and scalability issues when it comes to internet.
Is the Java RMI best solution for this? What are the other techniques available with Java?
- Jarno Kiviaho

OK: You want to use RMI to connect an outside-the-firewall web server to a behind-the-firewall business logic server.
This is probably not too bad.
There are a couple ways that you can go.
1. Use RMI with HTTP tunnelling. I've never dealt with this, but you can probably find more about this searching this forum.
2. If you can get some ports opened for you in the firewall, then you can use the RMI transport and skip the HTTP stuff.
In the latter case, you
o Need to talk your firewall folks into opening two ports for you - one for a registry listener, the other for actual remote procedure calls.
o You need to make sure that your RMI server is designed to operate through one fixed port, rather than using random port numbers. Take a look back through this forum and again, you'll find people who have done this. (I did an implementation by providing my own SocketFactory, but I believe RMI has been improved since then so that the server can simply ask for the socket numer it wants.)

What are some good choices for Mac Mini Speakers?

Hi All....
I have recently purchased a new Mac Mini (i7 Quad Core 2.3 Ghz) and was wondering what a good choice (and cool choice) for Mac Mini speakers. I have the Harmon Kardon 2.1 speakers which are EXCELLENT but for some reason I'm having trouble getting it to work with the Mini. Any suggestions or ways to get the Harmon Kardon's working with it???
Thanks ahead!!

Ooops... Hit the "solved" button by mistake! hehhee....
Anyway.... I also have a Mac Pro DualQuadCore2.8Ghz.... Which it works with but for some reason I can't get it to work with the Mini. I'm temporarily using a small iHome speaker in the 3.5 jack. I don't think the HK SoundSticks have a 3.5 jack.... Just USB. But I'm still sorting through a ton of cables, plugs and wires...
