Listen Up HP! I have some advice about the new ENVY 15t Touch!

Hello HP and everyone!
I'm interested in purchasing a brand new HP ENVY 15t Touch, and would have ordered a fully-optioned one today, except my purchase came to a screeching halt when I saw HP's options for "Processor and Graphics" offered for the laptop. I was slightly disappointed to find that HP now only offers the CPU and the graphics in a "bundle" as opposed to separate options, but I was astonished to see what the bundled options were!
See, the base processor and graphics are "4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ Quad Core Processor + Intel® HD Graphics 4600," which is to be expected. I like the i7-4710HQ, but wanted more in terms of graphics, so I looked down the list and found the next option to be, at a $70 upcharge, "4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Dual Core Processor + 2GB NVIDIA GeForce 840M Graphics." I found the third option to be "4th generation Intel® Core™ i7-4510U Dual Core Processor + 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M Graphics" for $140 over the base option.
I found these next two choices to be highly frustrating. I think it's absurd that HP insists I downgrade my CPU substantially just because I don't want the integrated graphics on their top-performing laptop, and then upcharges the CPU downgrade! Respectfully, I think that was a terrible move! Why HP can't offer both a quad core i7 and a stand alone video card? They did on their previous generation of the Envy 15 Touch, so I'm pretty sure it's not a power consumtpion issue.
So, HP, please offer your top-tier high-performance laptop with both a quad core i7 and at least an NVIDIA GeForce 840M. I think you will satisfy more of your high-performance customers, and lose less of them to your competitors. I would have loved to order one of these laptops today with both the i7-i7-4710HQ and the 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M, but it seems that isn't going to happen right now. I will be looking elsewhere to buy a laptop unless this changes.

As far as payment goes, I agree with the at least 50% up front rule. As far as how much you charge, that will depend on how many days of production and post production are being planned. Also your skills should come into play. This is a completely different job than your typical work and requires a much different skill set.
If you really believe in the show AND the producers ability to sell it, you may want to offer a discount on production of the pilot for a signed contract guaranteeing you the production contract of the series once it has funding. If you don't believe in both the show and the future potential, charge them full rate card, as there won't be any future work coming from this show.
Another thing to factor in is your ability. Producing a pilot is a completely different animal than doing events and wedding. Can you pull it off, honestly? Can you bring the vision to full potential?
Finally I can't stress enough the producers ability to sell it. It's not easy to get a foot in the door at the networks. Most often they only work with companies they've worked with in the past. They come up with new ideas and match them up with a vendor they already work with.

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

I have some questions about the ios 7.1 security -what if they replace the sim ?

i khnow now that with the new ios 7 no one ever can format the iphone with itunes if the find my iphone is on in the iphone
but
1-what if they remove the sim and put a new sim?
can i still be able to track it with icloud and send messages to it and play sound and lock it with a passcode even if they remove the sim
2-what if they using an old version of itunes will they be able to format it as new iphone?
please answer each question both of them
i have iphone 4s with the latest ios 7.1

1-what if they remove the sim and put a new sim?
can i still be able to track it with icloud and send messages to it and play sound and lock it with a passcode even if they remove the sim
As I said, if there is a passcode in place they do not know, you will be able to track down the device, irrespective the SIM card they are using. By the way, if the device is locked, they should first unlock it in order to make their SIM work, calling the carrier and giving all your personal data they do not have.
On the other hand, if the phone is unlocked and does not have any passcode, then yes, they will be able to use any SIM with it and turn off any tracking software.
2-what if they using an old version of itunes will they be able to format it as new iphone?
Same as in previous: if they have the iPhone without any lock then yes, they will be able to restore it as a new phone.
Follow all the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818 in order to turn on Activation Lock and make more difficult for them to restore your phone without permission.

Some questions about the new Galaxy SIII

Ok, I am looking into the new SIII and there are a few details that I can not seem to find the answers to and considering I work at a Verizon Retailer I would like to know as much as possible on this particular phone. Especially since I am thinking about purchasing it myself.
1. How are the speakers? Are they loud enough to hear over a group of people talking and still get good quality sound?
2. How easy is the screen to crack and if it cracks does the entire screen "spiderweb" like the iPhone immediately does or will it do what my Breakout did and crack in one weak spot but still work fine and make it so the rest isn't as susceptible to cracking the next time its dropped.
3. How "music oriented" is this device? I am playing Pandora almost 90% of my day and I want a good phone for music in particular.
4. Random and I'm not sure if anyone can answer this, what is the quality of the voice recording software? How accurate/ sensitive is it? I like to record my own songs and if I could record some of my ideas onto my phone it would be so much more convenient.
5. Video and camera are supposed to be amazing? Is that true?
6. How is the memory/ storage? One of the biggest problems i have with cellphones is my storage is constantly full. What are the odds of me filling this phone?
I'm sure there will be other questions that I will have but for right now this is all I can think of. Thank you so much for your time.
Katie

What kind of phone do you have now? That knowledge would help when answering, but my input:
1. Speaker is about the same as any smartphone. You won't get "full sound" without external speaker(s). Bluetooth headphones or earplugs are the way to go.
2. There is at least one thread about displays breaking. I believe most of those people were carrying it in their pants pockets. I carry mine in a holster on my belt. I posted a link to a video from a site that "torture tests" phones. The SG3 was dropped several times and did not break. Could it? Sure.
3. I'd say it's as set up for music as other phones.
4. Haven't used voice recording apps.
5. Camera and video are excellent.
6. Buy the 32GB version. If you need more memory than that, buy extra memory.
Sorry I can't offer more.

I have a question about the new share everything plan.

Hi,
I have a question of the cost of the new share everything plan. I looked at the options and prices for different phones. Next to smartphone it says 40 dollars, next to basic phone it says 30 dollars etc etc. Does that include the unlimited texts, and minutes? If so, how much would this plan cost for 2 smart phones and one basic phone with the unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 2gb of data cost per month?
Thanks!

yeah, the line access fee (40 for smartphones, 30 for basic, etc) includes unlimited talk/text and access to the pooled data allowance. It would be $170/month before insurance and taxes and fees for the 2GB plan($60), 2 smartphones ($40*2) and a basic phone ($30)

I have a question about the new ipod touch

I just got a 32GB ipod touch a week and one day ago and now i hear that a new one with more features is coming out. This is'nt fair since the new one has more features but costs $100 less than when i bought mine. Since i bought it recently is there anyways i can return it and get the new one instead? My ipod is still brand new without any scratches at all since i put a case on it as soon as i took it out of the box.

I purchased a refurbished iPod touch 8g about 10 days ago. I am thinking of sending it back. The question is it really worth the hassle? In Canada the 8g is going to sell for $259. I think I will loose 10% restocking fee plus shipping it back. Thoughts ??
Is it worth it?
Should I just upgrade the software and call it a day? Or get the new one.
Ideas...thoughts...opions???

Give me some advice about the big message

Whether JMS provider provide the function to deal with big message? i haven't found.Whether should I split the message myself? but if i split myself,the message as a whole will be difficult to ensure whole.I can only receive message one by one.If i only receive some of the splitted messages,and the other still in the topic ,all of the messages are unuseful.if u have practice in this ,give me some good advice pls.thanks.

There are JMS servers in the market, which provide an inbuilt mechanism to send large messages. Some of them implement this by internally compressing/splitting into various parts and who so ever is listening on that destination is delivered the complete message/file by concatinating/uncompressing them at the consumer side. Do check for this support in your JMS provider.

I have some questions about the Zen Mic

I was wondering if the Creative Zen Micro has some of the same capabilities of the Apple Ipod. A lot of my friends have Ipods' and I know from them that you can actually plug the Ipod into a stereo and it will play songs. Can the Zen Micro do that? do you know of any connections needed? Also, i know the Ipod can get a connection which allows it to tune into blank radio stations. With this a person can get onto the same radio station through the Mp3 player and play their music, which allows them to play their Mp3 player in their cars or again on a stereo. Is there any way I can play my Zen Micro in my car without getting sperate speakers? Please help!
Thank you

You can connect to a home stereo using a stereo miniplug (your headphone connector) to RCA adapter. these are available at any electronics store. you plug the 2 rca plugs into an auxiliary input on your receicver. to play in your car, you can use an fm transmitter. check out my post on accessories, it talks about one i didnt like and the one i replaced it with...
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=2079
there is nothing special about ipods, they cant do anything that a creative player cant. in fact, some would argue that creative's do more! but connectivity to any type of stereo system is uni'versal

Have you heard about the new iSmart Protection Plan for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch mobile devices.

Just wondered if you saw this announcement yesterday. May be worth looking into. More than 300 news services picked up the press release. There are
reportedly millions of consumers without any kind of extended warranty coverage. Well - this one was designed especially for you and is the best of breed on the market for ALL iPhone users! Check out what they are saying!

Well. This is not caused by any app nor is it a software fault in general. But someone told me, that the owner could have let change the screen after the damage that caused the dent. Anyway, this problem exists. The question is how many units are affected and why this is. However. Cheers.

I have a question about the new software "Mavericks."

I have a 2009 macbook pro. I am interested in downloading the Mavericks software, but I only have 4 GB of RAM. Will it work efficiently on that, or will it be too slow, and I need to buy more RAM. How much would it cost me to buy 8 GB of RAM at the apple store?

If you can run your current system (Mountain Lion) on 4 GB RAM, then it'll work on Mavericks as well. Having said that, I've found that things are far more snappy with 8 GB.
If you choose to upgrade to 8 GB, do not buy it at the Apple store; two most recommended RAM vendors are OWC (macsales.com) and Crucial. Both have lifetime warranties and OWC has excellent install videos. They also test the RAM on Macs and guarantee it to work. I would not buy RAM anywhere else.

I have a question about the new Magic mouse and wireless keyboard.

Just wondering. My computer is in my kitchen, against a wall, and connected to my t.v. directly on the other side of this wall in my living room. My question is this, can I use the wireless mouse and keyboard with the computer in the living room, through the wall, while mirroring the screens? Hope this makes sense. In other words, will the magic mouse and keyboard have the strength of range to connect through the wall. Thanks.

It depends on how far it is and how thick your walls are. If there plasterboard partitions and only 10 feet apart then probably.
If you have a mobile phone with bluetooth, then try sending the computer a picture of file from similar distances to that you intend using the keyboard, if it works then a bluetooth keyboard and mouse should.

Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

Hi, dear,
I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
Thanks in advance.

1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

Need some advice about hot backup under linux

hi, I want some advice about db files hot backup between two machines(Named A and B).A is primary machine which will write and read database and have the lastest db file. B is backup role and no database file in it.
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B have the lastest db file too.
At A,my db file support transaction and environment, and I set autoremove unnecessary log files.
The code such as follows:
dbenv->set_flags(dbenv, DB_AUTO_COMMIT |DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE | DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC, 1);
ret = dbenv->open(dbenv, NULL,
DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN ,0)
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine with different dir.
How can I make machine A's db files backup to machine B.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
hangsy

Hi Hangsy
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B
have the lastest db file too.What do you mean? Do you want to have the latest version... from when you did the latest backup, or you want to keep it updated in the same time with the main database?
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and
db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine
with different dir.You can copy the backup anywere you want.
If you want to run recovery on a different machine, it must be the same pointer size and endianness as the original machine.
Database and log file archival: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/archival.html
It is usually simpler to take the hot backup on the main machine and run recovery there before copying the databases to the remote system.
In this setup, only the databases are required on the remote system, not the log files.
Since you are using NOSYNC, you should run a checkpoint which will ensure you that the database files are up to date.
Please read "Recovery procedures" ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/recovery.html ) first. "you cannot perform a hot backup of databases and log files, restore the backup and then run normal recovery -- you must always run catastrophic recovery when using hot backups."

Bogdan Coman

I have brought a 17'' MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 duo 2gb. Model A1261. It seems I can upgrade to either 8gb or 16gb ram! But since It's 2006'ish, I just want some advice on the best ram that would work for a good price. Thanks :)

8 gb will do I guess
Based on the information that you have supplied, you have a Early or Late 2008 MBP. Maximum RAM that it will accept is 6 GB with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.
The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Ciao.
