Is the reason for buying laptops disappearing?

I've looked at all best Buy offerings and finding a laptop to meet my needs is very hard (in part because I want a good screen). The laptops are becoming commodities with fairly cheap parts --- an admittedly good i5 2410, low resolution, high glare screen, cheap chassis, etc... to maintain profitability. Reliability sems to be a crapshoot. Want a good computer. A high-end xps 8300 desktop is much better than a high-end Sony Vaio laptop in my opinion (especially for the money). Want to carr? Your ipad 2 might be waiting. I know this is not true for all, but the poor quality of many laptops (especially thye low res screesn leaves me not wanting to use one. B.B. has an i7 XPS 8300 desktop (Dell's quality has greatly improved) for a bout $850 that is absolutely loaded and better than any laptop that I see on their page or in their stores. And for $200 I had have an excellent, big screen. I don't want a 10lb gaming laptop with one hour of battery life.
If I need to travel, the ipad 2, while imperfect, will meet my needs (many companies are using these now rather than laptops).
Any truth to this. I am learning bout computers now and this is what my neophyte eyes see. Rx. I, mean Tx. :-)
It just seems a good desktop with an ipad 2 (or ipad 3 when out) is less expensive and meets most needs.

At this time, the iPad2 is a play thing with some limited functionality, but that can be enchanced with a company-specific app. However, it's use is limited to very special circumstances - there are too many 'ifs' and pre-preperation needed to make it a valuable work tool.
While a notebook or netbook - well, that's easy to set up, easy to use, and as already mention, much more useful.

My primary reason for buying an iPad is for travel in Europe. I live in an area of the US where Verizon rules. Is Verizon's 3G model good for international travel? I'm hearing conflicting views.

Verizon uses CDMA.
The rest of the world uses GSM.
The wifi will work, if you find a hotspot.
The 3G will not, unless south Korea moves to Europe.

What is the reason for query take more time to execute

Hi,
What is the reason for the query take more time inside procedure.
but if i execute that query alone then it excute within a minutes.
query includes update and insert.

I have a insert and update query when I execute
without Procedure then that query execute faster but
If I execute inside procedure then It takes 2 hours
to execute.Put you watch 2 hours back and the problem will disappear.
do you understand what I want to say?I understood what you wanted to say and I understood you didn't understood what I said.
What does the procedure, what does the query, how can you say the query does the same as the procedure that takes longer. You didn't say anything useful to have an idea of what you're talking about.
Everyone knows what means that something is slower than something else, but it means nothing if you don't say what you're talking about.
To begin with something take a look at this
When your query takes too long ...
especially the part regarding the trace.
Bye Alessandro

How to find out the reason for blocking locks?

PB Application try to create data in ASE 12.5. With this operation, there are sql, sp, trigger involved. Most of the it is okay. With lock of sleeping or sync sleeping lock. User wait for a short time to get the result.
but some time, there are blocking lock.
If spid for the app is 1. then looks like this app also generate another spid, say it is 2. and 2 is blocking by 1. spid 1 holding lock!
then all user is frozen because of spid 1 holding lock!!! How to figure it out the reason for blocking locks?

Thanks, Mark. Yes, sp_lock, sp_who, ... are common tool I used.
I found out one case like:
I have a SP which call a View for data.
When I run this SP, suppose the sipd is 1. then it will create another spid 2 because of access view and it gone very quick. This cause spid 1 block spid 2 within a short time.
If the are many user run the app, the app will be frozen and everyone is waiting. Finally it release, no dead lock, but the performance is not acceptable.
That why I have this question.

How can I disable the Reason for Rejection field in VA02 line items

Hi,
I dont want the users to be able to change the reason for rejection field in the sales order line items. Can someone please suggest a tried and tested way of doing this
Thanks for reading.

Set up an auth object for the field. In userexit field modification check the auth object and set the field to be grayed out if they don't have authority. Users can then not change the value of the field Sample code
IF screen-name = 'VBAP-ABGRU'.
       AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'Z_BLK_REAS'
               ID 'ABGRU' DUMMY.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        screen-input = 1.
      ELSE.
        screen-input = 0.
      ENDIF.
ENDIF.

What are the reasons for disabling the saving of data in a PDF?

I seem to have had more than my share of encounters lately with PDF files that have editable fields but have their data saving capability disabled.
In some of these situations this has been an absolutely maddening inconvenience.
When I attempt to bring this to the attention of whomever's responsible I get brushed off.
One person's response was: Actually the majority of the PDF forms I have are Adobe reader and you cannot make changes electronically at all. The reason for this is to make sure that the documents are not altered in any way. The <companies creating the PDFs> must make sure that changes are not being made to their forms.
I just don't understand that. How is entering and saving data 'altering' a PDF?
Is this just bone-headed bureacracy, an urban legend, or is there some fundamental practical matter I am not aware of?

Saving a filled-in form has always been disallowed with Adobe Reader, formerly known as Acrobat Reader. Though there are a few exceptions...
History lesson:
Forms features were first introduced in Acrobat 3. As you might imagine, a number of folks wanted to be able to save filled-in forms using Acrobat Reader. Since this functionality simply was not a feature of Reader, it was not possible. If you wanted to save a filled-in form, you needed to use Acrobat (Exchange).
Upon recognizing the potential market for a product that they could sell, Adobe developed and released Acrobat Business Tools, which was a version 4 product. It was positioned between Reader and Acrobat, was reasonably priced, and allowed users to save filled-in forms, apply digital signatures, and add comments. Unfortunately, this was marketed poorly and did not achieve commercial success.
The next iteration was a similar product named Acrobat Approval, which was a version 5 product. It too could save a filled-in form, but was in some ways more limited than Business Tools, and suffered a similar fate. That is, it was not a market success. It was however distributed for free to US taxpayers on the IRS tax products CD-ROM.
The next idea from Adobe - which was a good one - was to provide for a means of embedding usage rights in a PDF document. These rights would allow Reader to do things it normally would not be able to do, such as saving a filled-in form, adding comments, importing/exporting form data, creating new pages using templates, connecting to databases and web services, etc. At first, the only way to enable these usage rights was with an expensive product from Adobe, so the potential was initially not realized.
With the release of Acrobat 7, Acrobat users were able to add some usage rights, such as commenting. While this was a welcome addition, folks still wanted to be enable forms to be saved with Reader. Finally with the release of Acrobat 8 Pro, users were able to enable forms to be saved with Reader, but it came with licensing restrictions. In short, if the licensee distributed the form for more than 500 recipients, the licensee could use data from no more that 500 copies of a particular form that was returned to them, including hardcopies. This was great for forms used inside of an orginization, but not so great for forms that needed to be used by the general public. Still, it was a very useful feature for a majority of businesses for internal forms, the vast majority of which have fewer than 500 employees.
Acrobat 9 or 10 didn't change things. Adobe still wants to capitalize on this market, which certainly is not a bad thing for Adobe and their stockholders. The US IRS forms have long been saveable with Reader because they licence Adobe Reader Extensions, which provides revenue for Adobe.
Note that some third-party PDF viewers allow users to save filled-in forms whether or not the documents have usage rights. Such software has a different marketing model than does Adobe Reader/Acrobat, and rides the coattails of Adobe by taking advantage of the popularity of PDF forms.

HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
Restore the phone via iCloud.com
1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

I assume my Apple TV should allow me to view all events, albums and slideshows in my iPhotos app but it only allows four events and four albums to display on my television. I'm using a Optus mini Wi Fi for my home network. Could this be the reason for limited access via my iMac computer?
Chris

No, I have not chosen photos to share as I assumed that the Apple TV would access all photos and music that are stored on my iMac.
Thanks for your advice. I will check it out.

At the very least, you will receive EXACTLY the same product you sent in. You may get a newer product. It's Apple's choice.

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

Setting the "reasons" for signing in Acrobat XI Pro?

I would like to set the reasons for signing a document in my digital signature. However, I can't find any place that lets me enter that information.
For example, I want to enter something like "To confirm my participation"
I have found quite a few support docs but they all refer to Acrobat X Security Prefs which are different from Acrobat XI.

In Acrobat 11: Edit (or Acrobat on Mac) > Preferences > Signatures > Creation & Appearance > More > Show Reasons
or did you want to add a customized item to the list of reasons that you're presented with?
