Mobile Notebook for an IT Pro / Developer

Hi
I need to replace my laptop this year with a Windows 10 ready machine and started to look at the options
4th or 5th gen Intel e.g. i7-4720HQ
Up to 32GB 1600Mhz DRAM
Mid range graphics such as the GTX-860
HD1 500GB SSD (Raid not required)
HD2 750GB 7200rpm hybrid drive
Now there is no way of getting an indicative quote on any of the bewildering array of 17" laptops. Do I need to move away from the UK to buy one of these laptops

Hi, Dave and E.D.
Even a Retail Panther CD will probably not boot E. D.'s PowerBook (that came with Tiger) because the firmware level on his PB will undoubtedly be higher than the highest Mac firmware level specified on the CD. This is generally why new Retail discs will startup older Macs that are compatible with the disc's version of Mac OS X, but older Retail discs will not boot the latest Macs.
E.D. is going to have to find another Mac (e.g. a friend's) that will startup from a Panther retail disk, connect his "external" drive to such, and then install Panther on the external using that Mac. Then attempt to startup his PB using the Startup Manager and selecting the Panther install on the external drive.
E.D.'s external drive is going to have to be a FireWire drive (E.D. didn't say) because starting up from USB devices is unsupported. If his external drive is USB 2.0, he can't use it for this task.
This may still not work, again depending on the firmware on his PB. In other words, he may not be able to startup his PB from Panther since it came with Tiger installed. This is discussed in the AppleCare Knowledge Base document "Don't install older versions of Mac OS than what comes with your computer."
Good luck!

HTMLB Mobile Extensions for Pocket PC JSP development

Hi,
Can you use HTMLB without using an iView (Portal Component)?
There is an SAP tutorial at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/87/7b583c2439e66fe10000000a114084/content.htm
which describes HTMLB Mobile Extensions for Java. There is some demo source code which uses a JSP to embed a table control - this table control has a different format depending on the browser (ie Pocket PC, WAP etc).
The jsp code has the following at the top..
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.htmlb.,com.sap.mobile.htmlb.rendering., com.sapportals.htmlb.table.TableView,com.sapportals.htmlb.event.*" %>
<%@ taglib uri="htmlb.tld" prefix="hbj" %>
But does not explain how the tag library is configured within a web.xml file. There are other examples where HTMLB is used within a Portal Component (iView)and in these cases the portalapp.xml file has the reference to
<property name="tagLib" value="/SERVICE/htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld"/>
.. but what if you're not using an iview? What if you want to use 'straight' J2EE/JSP or something else?
There seems to be a contradiction here because if you write an application as an iView it can not even be viewed from within a Pocket PC browser! So how do you use HTMLB without using an iView?
I would just like to know how to use HTMLB controls in an application that can be used on a PDA?
Thanks
Adam

Hi Adam,
since you're talking about 'straight' J2EE/JSP application, I guess you should opt for the standard way of using tabligs in J2EE web apps. Have a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/9a7005444a2d478edcc986ef10dd52/frameset.htm">these</a> pages for more info about how to configure tabligs on the Web AS.
Hope that helps!

Continue Support for PALM Treo PRO Please

It's Like Palm Treo Pro was left out to Dry. Palm, I have been a Palm customer since your first Treo and I have never seen such a horrible thing to do to your faithfull customers
I suggest Palm to try to have a group work on an WebOS like the pre; For the Treo Pro (who went thru a rapped replacement with the Pre then the Pixi after customers belived in Palm with its last TREO). The Treo Pro, which is a good phone, but with little or no support since it came out.
Make an anauncment for this support or an Upgrade or Recall for those customeres all around the world.
Hey "HP", if your the new owner of Palm then have the Treo Pro as an example of good business with HP treo, have Microsoft upgrade this phone, the Palm Treo Pro W850 to the new Windows Mobile 7 for the Treo Pro. Hope to here from you soon.

The Treo Pro is a good WinMoPro 6.1 phone. As far as I know, that is all it will ever be.
You can't bring webOS to a the Treo Pro's 320x320 resistive touchscreen; it wouldn't be the same experience at all, even if it worked.
To me, WinMoPro 6.1 feels more productive than WinMo 6.5. If you miss the improved IE, you can improve your web experience with the Skyfire browser, or Opera Mobile. The usefulness of Win7 remains a question mark, but I doubt the Treo Pro satisfies its hardware requirements.

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

Developing mobile apps for the blackberry platform

Hello all
I'm interested in developing mobile apps for the Blackberry smartphone and read that the best way to do it is with Java. Any advice on how to do this?
I would be starting from scratch as I don't have a programming background but am keen to learn. Also can anyone recommend any introductory books that are really good at learning Java?
Many Thanks
praetor

Hi praetor,
welcome to the SDN.
Programming for a mobile device is sort of advanced and you need to know the basics first. As you have no programming background this is even more important.

Do I need antiviral software for a Mac Pro notebook

is antiviral protection needed for a Mac Pro notebook

WARNING: "Avast" is useless garbage that will cause you nothing but problems.
1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
5. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was never a good idea, and Java's developers have had a lot of trouble implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style "virus" affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful. Fortunately, Java on the Web is mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers. In Safari, this is done by unchecking the box marked Enable Java in the Security tab of the preferences dialog.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a specific task, enable Java only when needed for the task and disable it immediately when done. Close all other browser windows and tabs, and don't visit any other sites while Java is active. Never enable Java on a public web page that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, password-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be practically as safe from malware as you can be.
6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
8. The greatest harm done by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may behave in ways that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

Developing Mobile Applications for Handhold Wireless Dervices

Hello!!
I am new in this technology and i would like someone to guide me.
I have a project with the following requirements:
--The first task of the application is the user can add some data, for example name, address etc and then to save them in a database which will be running on the mobile device.
--The second step is the user to be able to send the data and save them in an other database on a server machine.
i will use J2ME in order to build the application.
What i would like to know is what technologies i can use for the database of the mobile device where the user will store for the first time his data.
What kind of communication between the mobile device and the server will be the most appropriate (eg bluetooth).
Generally i would like from someone to give me general information about the topic. To guide me.
Please if you know any book that has most of the answers which i am looking or some semilar examples for please let me know.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Shubham,
i meant with backward compatibility form "lower version to work on higher version".
The Subject of the Thread ([Backward Compatibility from Web Dynpro-Java (Mobile7.1) to JSP (Mobile7.0) |Re: Backward Compatibility from Web Dynpro-Java (Mobile7.1) to JSP (Mobile7.0)]) is confusing but it is already the case "lower version to work on higher version".
I have read in the [Developeru2019s Guide|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/de/8b/0b674240449c60e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] about the backward compatibility for [Mobile Client for Handhelds|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/de/45/e5f9386f472e98e10000000a155369/content.htm].
NetWeaver Mobile offers three handheld clients (based on AWT, JSP, and eSWT) that all share the same base functionality, such as synchronization, persistence, deployment, logging, security, etc. While the AWT and JSP-based clients support full backward compatibility to mobile applications running in NetWeaver '04 and NetWeaver 2004s, the eSWT-based client offers new, additional features, without providing backward compatibility:
In my research i could not figure out whether this also applies to the laptop client.
Therefore, i would be interested if the backward compatibility of JSP applications also applies for the laptop client.
Thanks and Regards,
Ismet

Need new notebook for video editing

I've been shopping for a new notebook for my friend. He will be editing 50 p loaded from his Panasonic HC - X920, using Premier Pro.
It must be a notebook, a desktop is not an option. I've narrowed it down to a particular Asus system here in Northern Thailand. Selection/variety is a bit of an issue here.
It will be used primarily for editing short clips ( 6 - 30 seconds ) used as stock footage. On occasion he does a 1 - 5 minute YouTube video.
I'm aware the following system only has a 5400 RPM drive and that is my main concern. Other than that, will the system have sufficient resources for most jobs (short clips)?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply Bill. It's what I was hoping for.
Without swapping out the 1 TB hard drive, would you say editing short clips is doable? Would there be noticable jitter when editing short clips or only when attempting to load and edit many clips at once?
Currently on the Dell with an i-5 processor, we're able to handle single clips in Premier Elements no problem. I'm assuming we could do the same with the new system which has considerably more ram and a better graphics card. But of course I don't want to commit my friend to buying a system which can't then handle 50 p clips.
Thanks in advance. I do appreciate the input.

What type of internal hard drive can I use for my Macbook pro?

HI,
My macbook pro stopped working and I took it to Apple store to find out what was wrong with it. I have been told that the hard disk i snot working anymore.
Since I cannot afford to pay Apple's fees, I was told that I can order it online and pput the disk myself.
Can anyone please tell me what do I need to focus on when buying a hard disk and what would be the best hard disk for my macbook pro.
Thank you

A MacBook Pro uses a 2'5" SATA hard drive, so any hard drive with these specs should work. We recommend HGST and Seagate drives, but Western Digital drives also work correctly. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
7200 rpm HDDs will give you extra performance. They are not very expensive

How do I find the wattage for my MacBook Pro mid-2009

I am thinking about purchasing a ChugPlug for my MacBook Pro. The suppliers, Lenmar tell me that it will work on any 13" MacBook Pro as long as it is a 45 or 60 watt MacBook.
How do I find out the wattage, please?
