Need review of iLap by Rain Design

I'm looking at finding a functional and cool looking Podium for my new 17" PB - I used it for long times and wish for heat buildup to not pose an issue.
I'm looking at the iLap by Rain Design at http://www.raindesigninc.com/ilap.html
I'm sure some 17" PM users have this and I would appreciate any feedback reviews you, be it +ive or -ive.
Thanks in advance.

Barry,
I have had my iLap for a couple of weeks now and I love it. I am constantly using my 17" PB in bed or on my couch. I used to have the same problem with it getting real hot on my legs, but with the iLap I never feel any heat at all and my PB seems to run cooler presumingly due to better circulation under the laptop. The look of it is nice and it even has a velvet feeling cusion that is removable on the front if you want to put it on a desk or countertop (although I don't use it for that and there is even a warning about leaving the front cusion off near the end of a desk). The cusion on the back is not removable, but does swivel to compensate for the surface it is on. I have been very happy with and use it everyday while at home. I don't take it with me because it doesn't seem very easy to take it on the road, although it wouldn't be hard to throw it in a suitcase or seperate bag. It simply won't fit in my Brenthaven 17 Pro bag.
Hope this helps,
GeNomeZ

  • Rain Design iLap 15W - will it fit the MBP?

    Anybody out there have a Rain Design iLap 15w? Does it fit your MBP comfortably? Rain Design claims that the 15w model fits the MBP.
    I purchased one in anticipation of my MBP arriving, and now I'm concerned that the MBP will be slightly too big. Perhaps the rubber feet of the MBP will be sitting right at/on/beyond the edge and a little slip would cause aluminum-on-aluminum gouging. Ouch!
    http://www.raindesigninc.com/store/index.php

    I actually emailed Rain Design and asked about this, and they recommended the 15W. Here is what they said in response to my question:
    "Thank you for your inquiry. At this point we do not have plans to make an
    iLap for the MacBook Pro. However, we recommend the iLap 15" Widescreen
    made for the Apple Powerbook for the MacBook Pro. The specs for the iLap
    15" W is Width: 13.5" and Depth 9.5", which is the closest to the MacBook
    Pro's dimension. Let us know if we can assist you further. Have a great
    day!"
    (I realize this doesn't really answer your question, but I thought I'd post what Rain Design had to say. In my original email, I had asked if they are going to make an iLap model specifically for the MBP.)

  • Is there any need to create schema in unvierse designer of business objects

    HI this is sridhar
    is there any need to create schema in unvierse designer of business objects xi r2,  when i integrated sap bi data into business objects,i,e i have fetched sap-bi/bw data to business objects universe
    please help me

    I don't see what is wrong with
    <jsp:useBean id="tabsConfigurator" class="com.mypackage.TabLayoutConfiguratorImpl"/>
    The class has a no-args constructor at least. The useBean tag will work with it. Probably.
    But still, some code just can't be translated into scriptless JSTL.
    Calling methods which take parameters is one of those things.
    In this case you probably want to write a custom tag to work with your tabs
    I would probably look at using custom tags like this:
    <%@ taglib prefix="tab" uri="/WEB-INF/TabLayout.tld"%>
    // tab to create the configurator.
    // either export it as a var, or use other tags only nested within this one
    // so you can get access to the configurator.
    <tab:configure var="configurator">
      <tab:render configurator="${configurator}" tab="${tab}">
    </tab:configure>I don't know exactly what the scriptlet code will be doing. But I think a custom taglib would be the only way to eliminate scriptlet code that you have here.

  • I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?

    I have an apple developer account to make a new app, but I need to give access to the designer without sharing my payment info or allowing him to have access to my icloud, apps or itunes account. There is some way to have another password?

    The designer is usually someone who just handles the user interface portion of the code. The developer would handle core functionality. I assumed you were the developer and the designer was the designer. You are the client and your "designer" is the developer.
    Ideally, you should create a business account so that you can add someone to your team. That is the way it is supposed to work. Otherwise, you will have to ask for the final source code so that you can build and submit the app yourself. You should always have the source code regardless. You should always perform the submission under your own account too. Otherwise, it is the developer's app, not yours.
    Sharing accounts is against the Apple Developer agreement anyway. The App Store Gold Rush is over. Now it is mostly zombie apps and competing fraudsters. You don't want to give someone access to your iTunes account. You really don't want to give someone access to your bank account either.
    The best solution would be to convert your account to a business account. You may be able to have the developer submit the app and then transfer it to you.

  • What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio

    What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio.
    There are a couple of sites out there that use both flash and
    shockwave. I am looking ot get somethign like this started and need
    some help getting pointed in the right direction. here are some
    examples:

    Rclarkhaddock,
    > What all is needed for this type of Flash Design Studio.
    There
    > are a couple of sites out there that use both flash and
    shockwave.
    Of the examples you showed, I saw Flash (Adobe Flash),
    Shockwave (Adobe
    Director), and JavaScript, but never a combination on the
    same site. (It
    might make sense to combine Flash with JavaScript or
    Shockwave with
    JavaScript, but not really to combine Flash with Shockwave.)
    > I am looking ot get somethign like this started and need

    > getting pointed in the right direction.
    Any of the above technologies will do it. You could also use
    a Java
    applet or even a .NET solution of some kind, so the choice
    you take will
    depend largely on what platform you want to support and code
    for. This sort
    of project will require significant amounts of custom
    programming. My
    personal approach would be to use Flash, mainly because of
    the popularity of
    the plugin. The Shockwave example looks beautiful, and I
    started out years
    ago using Director, but fewer people nowadays have the
    Shockwave plugin
    installed. It doesn't look like any of the sites shown use 3D
    modeling,
    which is the only relevant feature that Shockwave has over
    the other
    approaches. JavaScript (probably some Ajax approach) would
    work -- as
    seen -- but then you're dealing with compatibility issues
    among various
    JavaScript implementations in the great variety of browsers
    out there.
    Flash minimizes that, in my opinion.
    All you really "need" to produce what you've seen is Flash
    and some sort
    of database back end (MySQL, say), which means you'll need a
    bit of
    middleware (PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, etc.) to act as your
    ambassador between
    Flash and the database.

  • Need help to create SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow

    Hi TechNet Community Team,
    I've one list "Purchase Order" where I'm storing the data for purchase order details below are
    the fields.
    List Name = Purchase Order
    Order No, Order Date, Part No, Part Qty, Delivery Date, Delivery Qty, Balance Qty.
    Now in above list I'm storing the Purchase order details to check Order Qty and Balance Qty for every part
    no and this list is working fine.
    Now my requirement is to create one more list to issue the Part No from available Balance Qty in above List "Purchase Order".
    So I thought to create new list with below details (Please suggest me if you have other idea also I can use
    only SharePoint OutofBox feature or SharePoint Designer 2013):-
    List Name = "Issue Order"
    Issue No, Part No, Balance Qty, Issue Qty, Issue Date, Remaining Balance Qty OR Stock Qty
    So in List Name "Issue Order" once user will select "Part No" the "Balance Qty" will show the available Qty (from Purchase Order
    List). And once he enter Qty in "Issue Qty" column it will show the remaining Qty in "Remaining Balance Qty OR Stock Qty" column. 
    Also "Remaining Balance Qty OR Stock Qty" will get update in "Balance Qty" column in first list "Purchase Order" list so next time
    when user will issue the Qty from "Issue Order" he will get the correct Qty for Part No.
    Need your help to create workflow for List "Issue Order" so user can issue the items from this list
    and balance qty will update accordingly in List Name = Purchase Order. So next time when user will issue the "Part No" he will get correct quantity.

    Hi,
    For the Point# 1, per my understanding, there are two columns in the list2, both columns are getting values from list1. In List2, when user select a value for the
    “Part No”, you want the “Balance Qty” column to be populated automatically.
    As there is no such OOTB feature can meet this requirement, custom code using JavaScript would be required.
    The two similar demos below would be helpful:

  • Need Suggestion for the Recurrence appointment design

    Hello All, 
    We are planning to design  a feature where doctor can create appointment  with the patients on the recurrence basis like Daily, Weekly,yearly etc. 
    Following features also needs to be present 
    1. User can edit the recurrence appointment and that changes must apply to all 
    2. user can go and change the details for the single appointment 
    We had a discussion  for this and  identified the below schema to store the details..
    TABLE  Appointment                   
    AppointmentID,                         
    DocID, 
    PatientID, 
    FromTime,
    ToTime, 
    IsRecurrence, 
    RecurrenceID
    TABLE RECURRENCE
    SeqID,
    RecurrenceID, 
    FromTIme, 
    ToTime
    So the logic is for each recurrence we will create a entry in table recurrence and will store the details accordingly 
    Let me know if there is any flaw in this or a better design to achieve this .
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    I'd do it something like this...
    These would be my tables...
    CREATE TABLE Appointments (
    AppointmentID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) Primary Key,
    DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
    PatientID INT NOT NULL,
    AppointmentTypeID INT NOT NULL,
    StartDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
    DurationUnits INT NOT NULL, -- Let's say 15 min blocks...
    Frequency VarChar(10) NOT NULL CHECK (Frequency IN ('Daily','Weekly','Monthly','Quartly','Annually')),
    NumOfOccurrences INT NOT NULL)
    CREATE TABLE Schedules ( AppointmentID INT NOT NULL,
    DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
    PatientID INT NOT NULL,
    BegDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
    EndDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL)
    Then I'd create a stored procedure similar to the following (not I didn't code this as a stored proc so that it would be easier to test)
    I've added in-line comments to make it easier to understand...
    IF OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#TempAppt') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #TempAppt
    CREATE TABLE #TempAppt (
    AppointmentID INT NOT NULL Primary Key,
    DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
    PatientID INT NOT NULL,
    AppointmentTypeID INT NOT NULL,
    StartDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
    DurationUnits INT NOT NULL, -- Let's say 15 min blocks...
    Frequency VarChar(10) NOT NULL CHECK (Frequency IN ('Daily','Weekly','Monthly','Quartly','Annually')),
    NumOfOccurrences INT NOT NULL)
    IF OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#TempSched') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #TempSched
    CREATE TABLE #TempSched (
    DoctorID INT NOT NULL,
    PatientID INT NOT NULL,
    BegDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL,
    EndDateTime DATETIME NOT NULL)
    IF OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#edt') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #edt
    CREATE TABLE #edt (edt DATETIME)
    -- This is the appointment data that you want to add to the database
    INSERT INTO #TempAppt VALUES (1,5,5,5,'20120703 17:15:00',3,'Weekly',20)
    --Declare the necessary variables andset their values
    DECLARE @aid INT, @did INT, @pid INT, @sdt DATETIME, @f CHAR(2), @du INT, @edt DATETIME, @noc INT, @sql VARCHAR(MAX)
    SELECT TOP 1
    @aid = AppointmentID,
    @did = DoctorID,
    @pid = PatientID,
    @sdt = StartDateTime,
    @du = DurationUnits * 15, -- 15 mins per unit
    @f = CASE
    WHEN Frequency = 'Daily' THEN 'dd'
    WHEN Frequency = 'Weekly' THEN 'wk'
    WHEN Frequency = 'Monthly' THEN 'mm'
    WHEN Frequency = 'Quartly' THEN 'qq'
    WHEN Frequency = 'Annually' THEN 'yy'
    END,
    @noc = NumOfOccurrences
    FROM #TempAppt
    ORDER BY AppointmentID
    -- A little dynamic SQL allows to dynamically create a DATADD function
    SET @sql = 'INSERT INTO #edt VALUES (DATEADD(' +@f + ', ' + CAST(@noc AS VARCHAR(5)) + ', ''' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), @sdt, 121)+ '''))'
    EXEC (@sql)
    --select @sql
    SELECT @edt = edt FROM #edt
    UPDATE #edt SET edt = @sdt
    -- Creats a loop that creates the seporate schedule occurances required by the "appointment" data
    WHILE @sdt < @edt
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO #TempSched VALUES (@did, @pid, @sdt, DATEADD(mi, @du, @sdt))
    SET @sql = 'UPDATE #edt SET edt = (DATEADD(' +@f + ', 1, ''' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), (SELECT edt FROM #edt), 121)+ '''))'
    EXEC(@sql)
    SELECT @sdt = edt FROM #edt
    END
    -- Checks to seeis the newly created schedul conflicts with any pre-existing schedules.
    -- If there is a conflict a warning will be displayed and the new data will not be added to the physical tables.
    -- If there is no conflict exists, both the Appointments and Schedules tables will be updated.
    IF EXISTS (
    SELECT 1
    FROM Schedules s
    INNER JOIN #TempSched ts
    ON s.DoctorID = ts.DoctorID
    AND (ts.BegDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime OR
    ts.EndDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime))
    BEGIN
    SELECT 'There is a conflict with a pre-existing schedule for the doctor'
    END
    ELSE
    IF EXISTS (
    SELECT 1
    FROM Schedules s
    INNER JOIN #TempSched ts
    ON s.PatientID = ts.PatientID
    AND (ts.BegDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime OR
    ts.EndDateTime BETWEEN s.BegDateTime AND s.EndDateTime))
    BEGIN
    SELECT 'There is a conflict with a pre-existing schedule for the patient'
    END
    ELSE
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO Appointments (DoctorID, PatientID, AppointmentTypeID, StartDateTime, DurationUnits, Frequency, NumOfOccurrences)
    SELECT DoctorID, PatientID, AppointmentTypeID, StartDateTime, DurationUnits, Frequency, NumOfOccurances
    FROM #TempAppt
    INSERT INTO Schedules ( AppointmentID, DoctorID, PatientID, BegDateTime, EndDateTime)
    SELECT
    (SELECT MAX(AppointmentID) FROM Appointments WHERE DoctorID = @did AND PatientID = @pid) AS AppointmentID,
    DoctorID, PatientID, BegDateTime, EndDateTime
    FROM #TempSched
    SELECT * FROM Appointments WHERE AppointmentID = @aid
    SELECT * FROM Schedules WHERE AppointmentID = @aid
    END
    Basically it simply takes the appointment info, throws into a temp table, creates a schedule based on that info, validates the schedule based on existing schedules to avoid conflicts.
    If there is a conflict you get a warning. If not the appointment gets added along with the schedule.
    Once the schedule is created it's a simple matter to go in and manually edit individual occurrences.
    If you want to change and entire series, simply delete everything WHERE AppointmentID = ??? AND BegDateTime > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and create a new appointment.

  • Need Help with Creative Suite 6 Design Standard.

    I was working with a tech named Ashok Kumar Mohanty. I was sharing my screen with him and trying to install Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. We lost each other. He had me set up a new administer account but I can't get online with it because it has no browser and I don't know how to get one.
    My installation keeps freezing at the AdobeHelp portion of the installation. The time remaining continues to climb but the installation freezes at 19%. I have been trying to resolve this for 2 weeks. I tried to download a trial version online and finally bought one but both programs keep freezing in the same place. I am downloading from a disc.

    because it has no browser and I don't know how to get one.
    IE is available to all users by default on Windows, Safari on Mac, and Firefox, Opera and Chrome are avialable as free downloads. The rest is far too vague. You are not providing any system information or other details. As a start, simply run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and try again. For anything else we realyl need much more information and possibly the install logs.

  • I need a link for re-installing Design Premium and acrobat 9

    I had to replace a hard drive so now I need to load my software back to my laptop. I purchased Design Premium CS5 and APRO 9.0 in 2011.  How do I restore my products to the laptop?

    if you follow all 7 steps (especially steps 1,2 and 3), you can download here: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial numbers.
    if you have a problem (error message, unavailable page or you are offered a current adobe version), you did NOT follow the directions.
    the most common problem is failing to meticulously follow directions 1,2 and/or 3 which are needed to add an adobe.com cookie to your computer that allows you to download directly without using the akamai download manager.
    again, follow the directions and you'll have no problem.

  • Do i need extra RAM to install adobe design standard cs5.5

    I have an iMac bought mid 2010 snow leopard 10.6.8. I am looking to buy adobe creative suite design standard CS5.5, will I need extra RAM?
    I hope not!
    I only really need photoshop, illustrator and indesign, so my other question is can I just install these from the package?
    Please help anyone!
    Thanks.

    No, I am saying the three programs that you want to use in the suite, if you are planning on using all three programs (at the same time) then it is possible your system could slow down, then a RAM upgrade will help.  Give it a try it may work out okay. 
    Yes, I know how to backup separate things on to another external hard drive.  Just connect the hard drive make sure it is formatted for use as a Mac hard drive. Open disk utility and click on the hard drive at the bottom of the window it will show you the partition map scheme, it should be GUID Partition Table.  If not then you should format the hard drive but clicking the erase tab and the selecting Mac OS Extended (journaled) from the format drop down box.  If you are going to use the drive to transfer files from Mac to PC then you should select MS-DOS (FAT) the only problem with this format you will not be able to copy file larger then 4GB.  Then just open the find and drag and drop folders and files to the external hard drive.
