Buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion

Hello everyone! I'm buying a Macbook pro for the first time and i need your opinion. I'm a Web Developer / Graphic Designer, and i need this macbook for my work. Currently i have these 2 options:
1) Macbook Pro with Retina (13")
128GB SSD, 2.5GHz Intel i5 Processor, 8GB Ram
2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")
Intel i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
So my dilema is. Do i go for the newest 13" Macbook Pro Retina & SSD drive or do i go for the 15" Macbook Pro i7 non-Retina, non-SSD hard drive?
Help this first time Macbook buyer (me) to decide which model to choose

Your 2nd choice
2) Macbook Pro i7 (15")
Intel i7 2.6 Processor, 8GB Ram, 750GB HD
is user upgradable. The Retina is not.
No matter what for your needs I would max out the 16GB of RAM

Flex SDK and online emulation coding, your opinion on my project

Hi to everybody,
I'm an actionscript developer and I've started a project 2 years ago.
Since I wanted to test dynamic bitmap generation, I started this path by coding a graphic driver that emulates some old graphic chip used in consoles.
I could see it can work very well in AS3, so thanks to Flex SDK and FDT I have coded some more complex emulators.
Llittle by little I've built some classes that emulate some more chips such as SN76489, AY-3-8910, Konami SCC, Namco, TMS9918/TMS9928 and other graphic drivers for arcade emulation.
There are few project around the web on this subject, some of them such as fMAME are done thanks to Alchemy but, mine is pure AS3 with a lot of otimization, simple code, byte code friendly structures and a lot of caching methods.
The audio has to be fixed, I still haven't find a good caching way to play the audio generated by emulated sound chips with the streaming feature of flash player. To increase quality and fidelity, I need to rise the buffer, but the delay between a graphic event and its corresponding sound rises too...
Unfortunately on some old PC and some netbook they are a little slow because they use a lot of CPU and memory. I will be very glad if you can tell me your opinin about this work and eventually your PC configuration you are playing with.
These are the four consoles/computer I've emulated:
SEGA SC-3000/SG-1000: http://www.play-sc-3000.com
SEGA Master System: http://www.digimorf.com/ASms
MSX 1: http://www.digimorf.com/ASReplay_MSX
CBS ColecoVision: http://www.digimorf.com/fcv
And these are some MAME concept based arcade games. To play with these ones you need to use te same control keys of MAME:
- Click on monitor to focus flash player
- 5 or 6: Insert Coin
- 1 or 2: no. of player to start
- Arrow keys: move
- X, C: fire buttons 1, 2
http://www.digimorf.com/FlaME/pacman.htm
http://www.digimorf.com/FlaME/pacman3D.htm - This uses Away3d for the 3d interactive cabinet, you can rotate and play snce the emulator itself is mapped on the screen object.

Hope you enjoy them!

You can set the maximum number of connections by using:
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket( port, backlog );
Where backlog is the number of connections at any one time. I'm not sure - but I'm guessing that the physical limit is dictated by your hardware. Once you queue is full of connections, you are right - any further connections are refused. The default number of connections is 50.

Photog upgrading needs your opinion!

Hello Everyone-Who-Knows-More-Than-Me,
Since I'm sitting at home and thinking about it, I thought I'd throw out a few questions about this brand new iMac 3.06 and see if the answers come back to me. I haven't bought it yet, but I'm ready to upgrade to the new iMac from a G4. I'm a semi-pro photographer, and will be using it extensively for imaging. All your replies will be greatly appreciated!
1) Is the new 24" iMac screen "callibtratable"? More specifically, by a Monaco Optix XR? That's what I have and don't want to buy yet another piece of hardware if possible. And if it's not callibtratable, just what do you photographers do to ensure your colors?
2) The video card issue is beyond my knowledge (thinkin' about the 8800GS/512). I don't intend to play a lot of games, so is that extra video card power I'm not considering worth it to someone who'll primarily be using Aperture, iWeb, and Photoshop CS 2?
3) If you have any hints/tips/suggestions/things you've found that worked really well for you, and have the time to write a few lines, let's hear it.
Thanks!

1)
Well first off for number 1, I do not have an issue with screen problems, the real estate of the size of 24" makes a huge difference in editing photos in Photoshop and Aperture. The speed of the machine makes working in these two programs a cinch.
I haven't used the Monaco Optix XR for calibration, but with the bright screen reflection it could prove problematic. I use the simple calibration in the settings and use the profile on the imac's natural gamma.
2)
I don't intend to play a lot of games, so is that extra video card power I'm not considering worth it to someone who'll primarily be using Aperture, iWeb, and Photoshop CS 2
I don't think the extra power is needed for these applications, I use all three and they work swiftly.
3)
From a g5 machine to the 24" iMac 2.8 Ghz has made a huge difference in speed and larger screen for me as a professional photographer and videographer. Even Apples' studio pro 2 has worked well except for color, I find color slow and not workable on my present system, but all the other programs work well.

VLAN SETUP - NEEDS YOUR OPINION

HI,
We just purchased 3 Cisco SG200 50 Port Switch. Please bear with me because I am only
new to Cisco switch and no nothing about IOS only rely on GUI. I also have a query on VLANS
settings. I am new to VLANS though I have read information about it and now I am applying it into production.
My first query is:
Is the Cisco SG200 50 Ports Switch is a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch? if Yes how to convert it.
I want to separate all the servers, printers and users into different vlans and switches.
I am not sure as well if this is a good setup.
Switch 1 - VLAN 10 = All the Servers (6 Servers)
     E/01 DC
     E/02 DC
     E/03 FILE STAFF
     E/04 FILE STUDENTS
     E/05 WEB
     E/06 BACKUP
Switch 1 - VLAN 20 = All the Printers (3 Printers)
Switch 1 - VLAN 30 = Wireless Access Points (5 WAP)
Switch 1 - VLAN 40 = All IP Phones (VOICE) (12 IP Phones)
Switch 2 - VLAN 50 = Staff PC   (40 Machines)
Switch 3 - VLAN 60 = Student LAB 1 (25 Machines)
Switch 3 - VLAN 70 = Student LAB 2 (25 Machines)
A. Let say how can VLAN 50 (staff) access VLAN 10 (servers) without using a Router
and I am only using the said model above? Is this possible?
B. How can I connect VLAN 60 (Student Lab 1) to access on 1 server on VLAN 10 on this port E/04?
C. Also connecting VLAN 50 (Staff PC) to access the Printer on VLAN 20 in switch 1?
D. Do different VLANS mentioned above needs to be in separate subnets or one will work?
Sorry and be patient about me I am just a newbie in Cisco and VLAN.
Any suggestion will highly be appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Hi Arth020271,
Keeping in mind you have a SG200 smart switch that is supported by the wonderful poeple at Small Business Support Center.
There are lots of router choices that support trunked VLANsyou have a few choices.
I persoanally like the SA500 series that supports routing between 16 VLANs, specifically the SA540 due to it's large number of SSL VPN capacity.
Datasheet on this product follows;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9932/prod_models_comparison.html
The benefit of this router is that it is also supported by the Small Business Support Center which makes support for the overall solution much much easier.
If you wish to see the easy GUI of these product, there is also a emulator or simulator for the SA500 product at the URL below.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/small-business/onlinedemos?view=overview%20target=
Remember, these Small Business routers as used for small business, so really, if you have more than 100 IP hosts using the LAN, you might be better off looking at a IOS/CLI solution from a Cisco Partner. These IOS routers can be members of the integrated servicers routers (ISR) models 2900 or 1900. These ISR are better for larger routed networks such as yours.
Since you have over 110 users on your network including voice users, maybe you can have a word to your local Cisco partner and then decide regarding which router best suits your needs.

Going to Apple Store for Replacement tomorrow Need Your Opinion!!

I been having issues with push notifications from the very beginning when i purchased this phone. i use twitter often and this NEVER happened on my other iphones so I'm getting replacements. Is there any way I can test it out if it works or not at the apple store or do i need to get my phone activated again? also would they take out the sim card for me since i dont know how and put it back inside the new phone or do they only remove it and do i need to have it get it popped back the sim card at the verizon place?? it would be very nice if i can test this out cus im tired of keep getting buggy iphones.

Make sure your iPod is backed up (connect it to your computer and sync it if you can), then take just the iPod Touch to the Apple Store. Bring money or a credit card.

Need your opinion about Satellite A110-153

Hi,
I??m new here and I??m looking for a notebook. The A110-153 sounds interesting for me.
Could anyone give me more information like reviews what are the + and - of the product?
Also I saw on a website that has this notebook has 2 hard discs. Is this true? I can't find it anywhere (toshiba.com). Also I find this odd, I never heard that a notebook has 2 hard drives or disks.
It??s a pity that this notebook has an integrated video card I think.
What I want to do with the notebook is the following:
- Internet
- Ms office
- working with pictures (I have a digital photo camera and soon a digital video camera)
- A little Photoshop
What??s your advice?

Hi
I have found some pictures of the Satellite A110-153 and in my opinion the notebook looks very nice
The notebook supports Intel Core Duo (Yonah) processor T2050 1.6GHz and you can upgrade the memory up to 4GB
I dont know where you found the information about 2 HDD but as far as I know there is only one 100GB HDD installed.
But I found one disadvantage. The notebook support s only a Intel 945GM 8-128 MB shared memory graphic card.
But dont worry, Its strong enough for working with picture and MS office applications.

Need your opinion on usability of ms word .rft to make a business document

Im new to xml & bi publisher. Below is a xml data set Im using (shown as 1 record) Im testing with about 20
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
- <CUSTLBL>
- <LIST_G_CUSTOMER>
- <G_CUSTOMER>
<ACCOUNT_NUMBER>012345</ACCOUNT_NUMBER>
<PARTY_NAME>FURNITURE INC</PARTY_NAME>
<ADDRESS1>1 MAIN STREET</ADDRESS1>
<ADDRESS2>APT 4B</ADDRESS2>
<CITY_STATE_ZIP>BROOKLYN, NY 11222</CITY_STATE_ZIP>
</G_CUSTOMER>
</LIST_G_CUSTOMER>
</CUSTLBL>
I created an .rft with a header that has "Order Acknowledgment" in it
I inserted a table
I moved the table to the position I wanted on the right side of the page
so what I have left is a saved .rtf like below:
<word header displaying Order Acknowledgment>
for-each G_CUSTOMER
<2x7 table>
page breakend G_CUSTOMER
I preview as pdf or rtf and the 2X7 table shifts to the left margin for every customer
do I have to battle with ms word settings just to get this to position the way I want?
is there no wysiwyg template maker?
thanks in advance for any advice you can give

Not sure what issue you're hitting but try this:
Make the table span across the whole page - add an empty table cell on the left of your existing cell. You'll get better control of positioning then.
Make sure you don't have any spaces anywhere.
Also, perhaps you're hitting something like this:

true?
-atm

The OLAP catalog version should be displayed as part of the output. From the diagnostic information it would appear that your OLAP catalog is not installed. Try running the following as SYS user on your instance
column comp_name format a35
SELECT comp_name
, status
, substr(version,1,10) AS version
FROM dba_registry;
This will list out the installed options in your instance. You should get something like this:
COMP_NAME STATUS VERSION

Oracle9i Packages and Types VALID 9.2.0.3.0
Oracle Workspace Manager VALID 9.2.0.1.0

Oracle OLAP API UPGRADED 9.2.0.3.0
OLAP Catalog VALID 9.2.0.3.0
I presume you built your instance using the 'Data Warehouse' database template? If not, then it is unlikely you have the correct the options installed. If this is the case try running the following packages to install the OLAP option:
connect / as SYSDBA
create tablespace CWMLITE logging datafile 'cwmlite01.dbf' size 20m reuse autoextend on next 640k maxsize unlimited extent management local segment space management auto;

I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.

Hello.
I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.
I have a procedure (which i cannot import or re-create in OWB due to the bug), so i am trying to create a map instead :-(
How can i create a cursors within the map?
My function creates table and cursor.
Then it will have to check for duplicates in the tables (the one created and another table) - the criteria for finding duplicates is a number of fields.I then need to place few different conditions (if some attributes are not available) and it has to load cursor based on this conditions. The next step is to fetch the data into the cursor based on what attributes are missing.
The next thing it will do is insert the data into table (if record doesn't exist), output the error in separate table is record is corrupted, or update the record with changed information.
In short i need to re-create match / merge but with conditions, iterations etc 'built into' it.
I can read up on available functions - it's just what would be the best options? and what would be the best approach to do so?
In my function i use %rowtype - but cannot use it in owb - so what would be the alternative? i don't really want to create a lot of variables and then have a nightmare of maintaing it. are there any tips regarding this?
having looked through Oracle dedupe - it's not really what i need because it is just DISTINCT.
I would appreciate any help / advise on this.
Thank you very much

thanks a lot for your reply - i will look into this option :-)
it is a bit more complicated now as i have to re-create the match / merge and then somehow 'tweak' it to achieve the result i need.
At the moment i am looking to breakdown the package into smaller chunks 'functions' and try creating the map that way.
Anyway, thank you very much for your suggestion.

Hey guys I was wondering do I need an anti virus software on my mac? I don't think I need it but as a first time mac user I wanted your opinion.

Just wanted to get your opinion.

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 attacker 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.
All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there is another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications that are downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Applications certified in this way haven't actually been tested by Apple (unless they come from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that they haven't been modified by anyone other than the developer, and his identity is known, so he could be held responsible if he knowingly released malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe. Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
It doesn't apply to software that comes packaged as an installer. Treat all third-party installers with caution.
It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
It only applies to applications downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
Notwithstanding the above, the most effective defense against malware attacks is your own intelligence. All known malware 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. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” 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 users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.]
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is always a potential weak spot in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

I need your help and opinion on JNI

I am assigned a task to build one Java API above one existing protocol stack written in legacy C++, which involves UDP and TCP communication.
The C++ code involves callback method.
My qustion is:
1. I only tried some simple examples on one way trasfering, for example, invoke c++ from Java (HelloWorld example), and either invoke Java from C++. Is it possible to do it all together? I mean invoke C++ from Java and invoke Java from C++ for the callback methods at the same time?
2. Is it possible to do this with JNI? I doubt because it involves callback method in C++ code, so in Java, a interface should be created with the callback method declared inside it.
I really need your help!

1. Yes it is possible to call out of java into C, and back into java from C. And the tool of choice is JNI.
2. You better buy a JNI book.
3. As you get into it, you will probably find that designing around threading issues become important. Scan this forum.

N73ME Update: Your Opinion Needed

The current firmware version on my mobile is 4.0727.2.2.1
Each time a new firmware was released i really didn't want to upgrade to it bec of the bugs i heard it contained.
And now, with the release of this new firmware 4.0812.4.2.1, i really would appreciate your opinion, is it worth that i upgrade to this fw, or should i stick to mine (knowing that i have no complains about my fw).
Thanks alot in advance

if u dont have anyting to complain about ur current firmware den i would recommend u not to upgrade ur n73 firmware. Nokia have trully destroyed the N73 with these firmware updates for example musci player crashes, camera blue noise. etc

Your opinion on: BSP or Java Webdynpro or ABAP Webdynpro?

Could you please give me your opinion on the business scenario we have here:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 with backend R/3 4.6C, WAS 6.4 and Portal 6.0. SRM has its typical shopping cart applications mainly for procurement and the workflow trail displaying the approval. The client wants us to build a few custom forms on the web frontend of SRM (or may be in Portal). The idea is to store these forms and display when needed with the status info just like a shopping cart.
<b>Now the requirements for these forms are as follows:</b>
1. These forms will have multiple fields which need to have the F4 kind of help. (the F4 options will reside in SRM or R/3)
2. The form should have some kind of a ALV grid (autoexpanding feature) which will allow the user to put in multiple line items so that they could submit more items on one form.
3. Users need to be able to attach a spreadsheet to the form which should not be editable once the form is submitted. The attached spreadsheet should be stored. (We are planning on using Archivelink Filenet for this)
4. Upon submission, a workflow will be kicked off as per the defined Org structure for approval of the form.
5. After submission, the user should be able to go and view the approval status of the form and also print the summary of the values that he entered in the form. (may be a smartform could be provided for this)
We looked at different options to accomplish this task:
<b>BSP:</b>
Creating BSP pages and giving access as links to the user on the webfrontend of SRM. Now, if we go the BSP route, we need to develop in SRM as the R/3 4.6 c does not have BSP development capabilities. If we take this approach, I am not sure if all the above requirements (specially like attaching spreadhseets) will be met with BSP pages.
SAP Webdynpro Java:
It seems that the Webdynpro is easier to use because of the graphical tools available. But the only problem if we go this route is that we will have to find a java guy.
SAP Webdynpro ABAP:
We currently have WAS 6.4. As per the documentation, the ABAP Webdynpro development tool is available from NW04s onwards. So, we are still not sure if we could use it. But, we want to push towards upgrading if necessary. Being an old time ABAPer, developing ABAP Webdynpro seems do-able. (i know it may not be that easy).
Last but not the least, DIALOG Program:
Creating a dialog program in R/3 or SRM seems fairly simple. Then, an iview could be created on the portal for this transaction, though at this point I am not sure how a spreadsheet could be attached and stored within a dialog program.
The creation of the workflow may not be that bad after the original form is designed. The graphical display of the approval trail might be difficult, but we might get away with a report for that. For printing the details of the form, I guess I could develop a smartform and put out a button on the screen to print it out in the display view.
Could you please give me your opinion / best approach for accomplishing this task, keeping in mind the complexities of these new dimension products?
Thanks
Sri

I would say that all four solutions to solving your tasks are technically feasible. Here are some thoughts that I had however:
First ABAP Webdynpro: it is true that ABAP webdynpro is only available with Netweaver04s. 04S is still in ramp-up which means that only a subset of the customer base is allow to implement it. It will not become generally available until later this year (check the service marketplace for current release estimates). That being said, it probably elimintes WDA as a possiblity for your project unless you are will to wait and to upgrade.
However having worked with WDA for a while it is probably the best tool to custom develop what you describe. It has excellent built-in F4 value help. It also has a damn fine ALV grid implementation. The spreadsheet could be just as simple as file upload in binary or your could try your hand at office integration. Finally for the form you could use Adobe Interactive Forms which also has very nice integration into WDA.
Now to Dialog Programming: You could of course use dialog programming. It seems a little bit of a waste to custom build something so large if WDA is in your near future. There are obvious disadvantages (little OO structure, no MVC, etc). You would have ALV grid, office integration and of course F4 help. You could still use Adobe forms if you implement this on the 640 system. However there are integration points with dialog and Adobe Interactive Forms. You could still use printed forms however. If you did the dialog program on the 640 system, you could use the integrated ITS to expose it to the web. The integrated ITS in my experience has quite nice performance although the look and feel remains just like the SAPGui.
The Java Webdynpro route: Well you hit the nail on the head - if you don't have a Java programmer already and you don't have the bandwidth to invest in learning Java, this can be a problem. The Java Webdynpro environment is quite nice. There are some things I like better than ABAP and some things that ABAP is defintely still better at. However when it comes to heavy integration with an ABAP backend - ABAP Webdynpro is still the way to go. Java Webdynpro does have a help feature (OVS), but it isn't "for free" or nearly as nice as the ABAP Webdynpro (perhaps it will get there some day). That is one of the major advantages of WDA - its closeness to the business data brings several framework advantages like F4 and field help. WebDynpro Java in 640 also doesn't have an ALV grid implementation. I am sure that this is something both environments will eventually have, but right now ABAP has the advantage. On the other hand, Webdynpro Java has equal support when it comes to office integration, file upload, and Adobe Forms support. You would have a more difficult time integration SmartForms however.
Finally we come to BSP. Honestly if I were in your position I would probably choose BSP (unless you could wait for the ABAP Webdynpro upgrade). You could build a nice MVC OO application using BSP (stateful or stateless). The BSP product is mature and quite well documented thanks to SDN. You have the BSP Extensions which when used in Design2003 use the Unified Renderer. That means that your output will look nearly identical to the same UI elements in Webdynpro. Also BSP supports portal integration (session management, eventing, and themes).
The downside to BSP is that it isn't a full framework (also one of its advantages). You can insert all your own html and javascript (unlike webdynpro). But this also means that SAP doesn't delivery as many framework services. For instance there is no ALV or Value Help. There is no Office Integration or Adobe Forms integration. There is some farily good Smart Forms integration. Now the upside- many people have already hit these limitations and overcame them. In the weblogs on SDN and in a certain SAP Press book (cough, cough) you will find out of the box solutions for many of these problems. You can find ready to use solutions for Adobe Integration, Office Integration (using Microsoft Office Web Controls), and F4 help. It will mean investing a little more time up front to get this "home grown framework" up and running - but it is perfectly feasible.
There is a learning curve to all these new technologies however. This sounds like an abmious project. I wouldn't want to try and tackle this project in any of these technologies if I was new to them. With Webdynpro or BSP - consider giving yourself time to learn the environment and cut your teeth on some demo apps before jumping into such a huge development.

Interested in your opinion about PPBM7

Bill and I are working on a new site and a new test. It looks like it will not take much longer and is nearly ready for CS6.
We have invested lots of time in designing the new website and adding functionality and there is still as long way to go, but we are making steady progress. Note that the subscription module in not operational yet, the download file is not up-to-date, the script is not included, etc. but we would like to get your opinion on our progress and hear your comments. Everything now is only based on our PPBM5 results.
Please take a careful and critical look at PPBM6, take a look around the site and consider the navigation, layout, logic, design and - most importantly - how easy it is to find the info you are interested in and the way it is presented. Please be critical, so we can take your considerations and suggestions into account.
After you have looked over this site, you would help us enormously by filling out this survey: Click here to take survey. Note we have only a basic subscription which allows for 100 responses only, so you may be out of luck if you wait too long.

STRONG OPINION - Put Benchmark Results/Detailed Results (full table) by itself and label it "Benchmark Results Table" and move all other items in Benchmark Results section to "Benchmark Results Statistics"
Done.
Benchmark Results/Detailed Results table features don't work at all in Internet Explorer (I have IE v9); works fine in Firefox, but many Win7 users will be using IE
Try with the new template, it may work now. Still some cosmetics to adjust though.
Would like to see new columns in Benchmark Results / Detailed results table: CPU die size (nm), # cpus (like in PPBM5), chipset (i.e. X79, C602, etc.), User Comments (i.e. so DeeDigital could explain why identical hardware went from score of 186 to 149), Disk Comments (i.e. many forum posts focus on where put scratch, projects, media, render outputs, etc.)
That may be feasible when I get the parsing of Speccy.xml completed.
STRONG OPINION - Menu design should be streamlined; This is not that large a site and When "Latest News" "Planning and Building" is up, I see 4 separate menus (at page top, Main Menu on Left, Latest News...All Pages on right, and Planning & Building a NLE System at lower left.
Done.
Suggestions to streamline:
1) Only show "All Pages" for all areas; if you find you must have this level of sub-section, do it with a drag-down box at top and bottom of the section like many review sites do
2) Have all menus at top; this is nicer too when someone wants to print something out
Done.
Need to clearly state what versions of CS the new benchmark is compatible with
Will be done.
Suggest adding a lifetime Platinum subscription option for say $100 or $150; that's the one I would select BTW if it were available
Also suggest dumping the Bronze and Gold options; there too many options for new subscribers
I'm looking into that.
Update copyright to 2013 (i.e. bottom Methodology page)
"Buy a subscription" should be "Select a Subscription" since entry level is free
Remove the "We are volunteers!" banner to be consistent with new paid subscription fees; or, if the fees are purely going to internet fees, etc., explain that somewhere
Done, but working on the template now for the footer.
Font size selector is broken on Buy a Subscription page
Suggest using www.ppbm6.com instead of www.ppbm7.com to reduce confusion (it seems that you also own this domain site)
Will look into that.

Need your opinion on my project
