Need a computer optimized for webcam

I am trying to buy a computer that will function well in Kenya for mostly webcam type operation like Skype, Yahoo IM, etc. I am on a limited budget and would like to be able to get two systems for under $400 each. Laptop would be best but I would consider a desktop that was small (footprint). Any suggestions? If a desktop I'd need that $400 to include the flat screen monitor too. There are several Compaq laptops from $329 to $398 No built in cams but I will have to buy one anyway. When optimizing video (webcam) function for a relatively slow internet connection, what is most important. CPU speed, RAM, Other? Thanks.

Ok thanks for the advice...so if I have a choice between these two, which way would you guys go:

or...

What do I need the Computer certificate for in an Active Directory domain? Theoretical Inquiry

So we are trying to clean up the thousands of certificate we have deployed. We are on a 2008 R2 Active Directory and have been using certs for about a decade. With all of our machines auto enrolling in Computer certificates and renewing every
year we have maybe 50,000 certificates, yes some are expired already but its a nightmare to manage. So what do we need the Computer certificate on all the Windows machines for anyway, some are XP most are Windows 7.
Is the Computer certificate required for Kerberos authentication?
If we don't need it I rather stop publishing the Computer template and simplify our lives.
Please explain (I am not new to PKI, though this question may make me seem like a novice) I get the Web Certs, EFS, etc.

Computer certificates are not needed for Kerberos authentication.
They are typically used for 802.1x WLAN or wired authentication, or they might be used for VPN logon. Then you might used them for IPsec / "domain isolation" or perhaps DirectAccess or related solutions by other vendors.
So they are needed for some sort of "network isolation" but they are not required for default AD operations. With some the mentioned scenarios (e.g. 802.1x / IPsec) you have the choice to pick either certificates or other credentials.

Export for Web using optimized for "download" or "streaming"?

Hi,
Exporting for Web have some setting there,i'll choosing the .mov - H264 - and medium low quality - 15 Frame Rate - Checked Frame Reordering, others Automatic and the Audio will be 32.000hz and Mono.
Now,what about the optimizing? Download or Streaming?
What about Self-Contained Movie? do i need it?

optimizing for download or streaming depends on what sort of site you're sharing it on. Will it be streamed or a download file?
It must be self-contained, unless you are going to be streaming it, and hosting it from the machine that the original media is on. Even then I'm not sure that would work reliably.

Optimizing for computer viewing

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, but I have searched without success.
I am creating a DVD for an artist that is chock full of TIFF files (all of which are 720x480). The DVD looks great on NTSC monitors, and in simulator, but when played on computer monitors the images are soft. I do understand the difference between computer monitors and NTSC monitors, but is there a way to build a DVD that is optimized for computer viewing? I know this is not what DVDSP is mainly used for, but any suggestions will be appreciated. Again my apologies if this has been covered. Thank you.

Hi:
At what magnification are you playing the DVD in your computer? REmember that playing in computer full screen can double (or more!) the size of your video format.
What is the scope of your project? If you need just computer playback probably a Video DVD is not the highest quality you can get. Probably a multimedia application can gices you more resolution. Just an idea.
If you do need to create a Video DVD, probably you need to change your workflow. What size (in pixels) are imported images? What encoding settings did you use? What kind of images are you using (I mean, the content of the images)?
DVDSP Slideshows don't gives you too much control. You can get full control of your edit and encoding working in a FCP timeline (i.e. using a low compression codec like uncompressed or even DVCPRO50) and using Compressor to encode it to MPEG2.
Just some ideas !
Hope that helps !

My iPhone 4 no longer connects to my car or alarm clock after a recent sync to my computer. The message at I get when trying to. Connect is "this accessory is not optimized for the device" or something like that. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello there philp_69,
If I understand correctly it sounds like your phone hasnt been recognized in iTunes on your PC since the last couple of updates. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article which will walk you through the steps one by one.

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

Do I need a computer to use my ipad for the very first time?

I would like to know if I buy an iPad, shall I need to have a computer to start it for the very first time?
I mean do I need to do plug in or can I start without plug in?

The new iPad does not need to be activated using iTunes. You will need a WiFi connection to activate it, but not a computer.
If you are buying an iPad2, if it does not already have iOS 5 on it, then you would need a computer running the latest version of iTunes,

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.
