Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.

A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

What are some differences between PSE8 and PSE11?

MY CURRENT HARDWARE:
MacBook Pro (model: MacBookPro2,2) Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB int. HDD
Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner, USB 2 connection
Canon Digital Rebel T3 SLR camera, 18-55mm kit lens, 75-300mm telephoto lens, 4 GB SDHC card
Canon Vixia HV40 HDV tape-based camcorder
MY CURRENT SOFTWARE:
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, with Adobe Bridge CS4
Apple Final Cut Studio 3 (includes Final Cut Pro 7)
Apple iLife 2009 (includes iPhoto)
Recently, people in my hometown began planning an event of local historic significance. A group of elderly men who worked on a major industrial project (steel fabrication in a local shop) here are about to go on a bus trip to see some of their work. Most have never journeyed the hundreds of miles to see what became of their efforts. Some of these men are veterans of WW II and Korea, just to give you an idea of their age. The bus tour is expected to happen in mid-November.
Typically, I shoot photos in JPEG format and catalogue all photos in iPhoto 2009. However, for this occasion, given it is a once-in-a-lifetime event, I am seriously thinking about switching my Rebel over to RAW format. I want to approach this trip as a project with the end-product being archival quality storage of the images I capture. To catalogue the photos, I was seriously thinking about borrowing a few pages from Peter Krogh's book "Digital Asset Management for Photographers" (2009, 2nd Edition, O'Reilly Press). I recently had a chance to skim the book over, and noticed a chapter on how to structure a workflow using RAW-format photos using Adobe Bridge. I have briefly thought of purchasing Lightroom, but that's too rich for my bank account. Since I have the Rebel (given to me as a gift about 13 months ago), the MacBook Pro and Photoshop Elements with Bridge, some questions came to mind:
(1: I am considering either using Photoshop Elements 8 with bundled Bridge CS4 to handle the RAW files (and to possibly store them as DNG files) or upgrading to Photoshop Elements 11 to do the same. This would stretch my budget. Does Photoshop Elements 11 come bundled with Bridge anymore? If so, is it functional for what I want to do with it?
(2: Does anyone on this forum use Bridge to handle RAW files? If so, are there any online tutorials/demonstrations you would recommend?
(3: I assume it would be fairly easy to take all RAW files of photos shot on the trip, transfer them into Bridge CS4, and then convert them into JPEGs so they could be imported into a iPhoto library (now standing at over 46,000 photos). Are there any obstacles/possible problems in this transfer process I should look out for? (I would be worried about what would happen to the metadata)
(4: If I store the RAW photos from this trip as DNG files using Bridge, and if I subsequently purchase newer software such as the latest Lightroom or CS6, will I be able to open up this trip's archive in the newer software without loosing any metadata or organization?
(5: I have been viewing the photography tutorials on Lynda.com, including the titles taught by photographer Ben Long. Mr. Long did a title on the Digital Rebel T3i, which is very similar to my Rebel T3, as well as his "Shooting on the Road, from Gear to Workflow". Are there any other Lynda titles I should review while my account is still active?
(6: What's up with this Photoshop Elements / Premiere Elements bundle? Does anyone here use it? If so, what are the advantages over the Photoshop Elements upgrade?

Well, we've been back from Saint Louis for over a month now. Sorry for the delay in reporting this.
Video link from KSDK Channel 5 News, St. Louis:
Arch builders see work first hand
http://www.ksdk.com/news/article/347752/3/Arch-builders-see-work-first-hand
This video shows an excerpt of a small number of the PDM crew visiting the Arch for the first time, at sunrise. (We arrvied by bus this night before.)
An update on my Photoshop Elements experience. Adobe's DNG converter and Photoshop Elements' batch converter both worked like a charm. I was able to take the CR2 files from the Rebel, convert them to DNG, and then use PSE 8 to batch-convert them to JPEG. I impported the JPEGs into iPhoto 2009 with the date/time metadata intact.
I have yet to open any of the files in Adobe Camera RAW, but I want to do that after the New Year. I'm tied up with other work right now and don't have the time.
Here's a little something extra to show you how remarkable this trip was:

What's the difference between 2nd and 3rd generation

PLEASE HELP! New Apple user and looking to purchase a used 2nd or 3rd generation ipod touch.
what's the difference between 2nd and 3rd generation?
apparently I am told that the 2nd gen does not have the capabilities of listening without headphone? and the 3rd gen does??

Hi maximumslowness - (great name),
The 2nd gen Touch has one internal speaker, so you can listen to it, (both left and right channels) without headphones.
However - it's a small single speaker and it is not very loud. It's not designed for quality listening (neither is the speaker on the 3rd gen as far as I know) and probably will not be adequate if there is a lot of background noise nearby.
One option is to drop the iPod (not literally!) into an iPod Docking station so that the sound can play out through a self-contained mains-powered amplified speaker, which will also charge your iPod. There are many on the market. On the bottom of the iPod is the 30-pin dock connector which can be used to feed the audio to a docking station. Another option is simply to use a cable to connect from the headphone socket to the audio input on any amplifier.
Yet another is to plug in a small fold-up style speakers, such as

or http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generation-Capsule-iPhone-Laptop-Speaker/dp/B002XNO7FQ/r ef=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1332326656&sr=8-6
I've no idea how good the sound is, you'll have to judge that for yourself. The links are both to a UK store, but most countries will have a similar option.
I do not recieve any form of payment or compensatiion for the above links.

What are the differences between Oracle and other NoSQL database

Hi all,
I would like to know what the differences between Oracle and other NoSQL database are.
When and why should we use Oracle?
Is Oracle NoSQL database link with Big Data Appliance?
Can we use map-reduce on a single personal computer? How should we install Oracle NoSQL database to use map reduce on a single personal computer?
Do we also have eventual consistency with Oracle NoSQL database? Can we lose data if master node fails?
Are transactions ACID with Oracle NoSQL database? How can we prove it?
Thanks.

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/nosqldb/overview/index.html
Is Oracle NoSQL database link with Big Data Appliance?Yes, Oracle NoSQL Database will be a component of the Big Data Appliance.
Can we use map-reduce on a single personal computer? How should we install Oracle NoSQL database to use map reduce on a single personal computer?Yes, I believe you can run M/R on a single computer. Consult the various pieces of documentation available on the web. You may run Oracle NoSQL Database on the same computer that you are running M/R on, but it is likely that they will compete for CPU and IO resources and therefore performance may suffer.
Do we also have eventual consistency with Oracle NoSQL database? Yes.
Can we lose data if master node fails?If you run Oracle NoSQL Database with the default (recommended) durability settings, then if the master fails, a new one will be elected and data is not lost.
Are transactions ACID with Oracle NoSQL database? How can we prove it?Yes, each operation is executed in an ACID transaction. The API has the concept of "multi" operations which allow the caller to perform multiple operations on sets of records with the same major key, but different minor keys. Those operations are also performed within a transaction.

iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

What are the differences between Logos and LogosXT?

What are the differences between Logos and LogosXT?

Logos XT is a networking middle-layer maintained by the LabVIEW Network Technologies and Security group. Logos XT provides a thin layer on top of TCP/IP to simplify some common network tasks.
The underlying foundation for NI networking is called Logos.
I believe that the basic idea is Logos is what is going on behind the scenes at the base level and Logos XT lets you build your own networking protocols on top of Logos. Logos XT would be used if you want to make your own networking protocol instead of using TCP/IP or UDP.

What are the differences between jdk and sdk

what are the differences between jdk and sdk?? thanks

Just marketing whims.
SDK = software development kit

What are the differences between attributes and variables?

I am trying to develop a firmer understanding of the difference between attributes and variables. I understand attributes are lexically scoped to a class and variables are lexically scoped to the enclosing block. The lifetime of an attribute is linked to a class' instance. What is the lifetime of a variable? What is the lifetime of variables declared in a script file's top-level?

It depend on whether the script is running in standalone mode or been called by others (library mode).
If running as standalone, the variable of the script in the top level exists until the the script exit. If run as library mode, the variable in the top level of the script will never get to execute. Only the function and class available for call.
Try calling another script with top level variable (place print statement to verify), you realize in library mode, it will never been called. That's why the main method as in Java is never needed because of this reason.

What are the differences between api and sdk

Hi,
Could anybody clarify for me what are the difference between API and SDK? I googled for the answer, and couldn't find any thing on this topic.
Many thanks in advance.

Is it correct to say that "a SDK includes all the
APIs"? or "API sits on top of the SDK"?It's a bit weird to say either. First, the JDK doesn't include all APIs. Just the J2SE core API. Others, like 3rd party libraries or J2EE are not included. Second, if you mean the API docs, they're also not included IIRC.
It'd technically only be correct to say "the SDK provides an API", I guess. The example is very lame, but: if the SDK is a machine, the API is the sum of its buttons and levers and gauges and intakes and outlets and exhausts. The API docs are the manual.

What are the differences between tracing and hierarchical profiler?

There are many terms used by people, I am just wondering what are the differences between tracing and hierarchical profiler? Aren't they the same thing?
Thanks a lot.

Instrumentation and tracing are two different things; in fact they belong to two different categories - one's a thing the other's an activity.
Tracing is following the execution path of a program. Tracing shows us the the calls a program makes, perhaps the internal choices it makes (ifs and whiles), exceptions thrown, etc,
Instrumentation is code we build into our program to produce a record of its status. There are different techniques, from using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO calls to monitor status to writing log tables or files. Instrumentation can be used to generate a trace; it can do profiling; it can provide information reports on outputs and exceptions.
In my opinion DBMS_TRACE and DBMS_HPROF are not instrumentation, because they are external to the program under investigation, rather than built into it. However, there is an obvious overlap between the insight they provide and what we might do with our own logging.
Cheers, APC

What is the difference between Structure and Work area

Hi Guys,
What is the difference between Structure and work area?
Are they same with different names?
Thanks,
mini.

hey buddies,*
i had this same doubt for a long time and i have my finds with me ie wa and structure are the same but wa can hold a single record but structure cannot hold data in it but according to the previous posts folks say structure too holds data as wa does but i guess when debugging wa holds data and structure doesnt hold bcoz i tried.
types : begin of str_mara,
             matnr type mara-matnr,
            ernam type mara-ernam,
            end of str_mara.
data it_mara type table of str_mara.
select matnr ernam from mara into it_mara where matnr = '100-101'.
*********************if folks say wa = structure,this should work,isn't it?*********************************
loop at it_mara into str_mara.
write:/ str_mara-matnr , str_mara-ernam.
endloop.
*******************but it throws an error saying that str_mara is not a wa*******************************
i may not be correct too plz let me know if i'm wrong

Good day,
Could you please explain me,
What's the difference between OEM and standart licensing of VMware vSphere for users?

The difference is usually the support you get. With OEM versions you'll often get support from the OEM and not from VMware directly.
