New feature: quick settings?
Hi Xperia people!
I was just wondering... as I see in the changelog for the new update 4.4.4
– Quick settings – customise your settings to access what you need quickest
What is the difference now? I can't seem to find where is the "new thing".
Any help? Thank you and cheers!
Solved!
Go to Solution.
@srv1 That's right, the flash light is new.
And since you guys are talking about it, if you have not noticed yet you can drag down the notification field and swipe left or right (depending on which tab you are at) to change between Notifications / Quick settings. Just a tip.

I just saw a new feature under my settings. I have an iPhone 4S, using Nationwide tlk&txt share 1400, with unlimited data plan. Is there a fee to set up and use the personal hotspot? If so, how much? Will adding personal hotspot change my current plan (I don't want to lose my unlimited data plan)?
Vikilynm7,
The hotspot is an awesome convenience feature! If you would like to use it, paired with a Nationwide plan and unlimited data, there would be an additional fee. I would be more than happy to see what pricing you would be looking at. I have followed you. Would you please accept/follow me back and then send me a Direct Message? Here's the steps to do that -> http://vz.to/1cOOY6O

FAQ: New feature overview
This text guide helps you find most major new features in Photoshop CS. For a comprehensive video walkthrough, see this Ask A Pro session with Senior Product Manager Zorana Gee.
Retouching and transforming
Content-Aware Move tool
The Content-Aware Move tool lets you quickly recompose images without complex layering or slow, precise selections. Extend mode convincingly expands or contracts objects such as hair, trees, or buildings. Move mode lets you place objects in completely different locations (most effectively when the background remains similar).
In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Content-Aware Move tool.
In the options bar, choose Mode > Extend or Move. Adaptation options control how closely the new area reflects existing image patterns.
In the image, circle the object you want to extend or move, and drag it to a new location.
Tip: To best extend architectural objects, use photos shot on a parallel plane, rather than at an angle.
Content-Aware Patch tool
The updated Patch tool includes a Content-Aware option that seamlessly replaces unwanted image elements by synthesizing nearby content. The natural-looking results are similar to Content-Aware Fill, but the Patch tool lets you select the area from which the fill is drawn.
In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Patch tool.
In the options bar, choose Patch > Content-Aware. Adaptation options control how closely the patch reflects existing image patterns.
In the image, circle the area you want to replace, and drag over the area you want to generate a fill from.
Redesigned Crop tools
The redesigned Crop tool provides an interactive preview so you can better visualize results. A streamlined set of toolbar options includes a helpful Straighten tool, and aspect ratio controls you can adjust while a crop is active in the image window. (To maintain the current aspect ratio or resolution, right-click the image to access additional options.)
To crop an image, click the Crop tool in the toolbar. Then either adjust default crop borders in the image window, or drag in the window to start with specific borders.
Note: If you deselect Delete Cropped Pixels to apply a nondestructive crop, you can later click the image to see areas outside current crop borders.
To correct image perspective, hold down the Crop tool and select the Perspective Crop tool.
Type
Paragraph and Character styles
In the Window > Paragraph Styles panel, create, store, and reapply the characteristics of groups of highlighted sentences. In the Window > Character Styles panel, specify the look of selected letters, words, or phrases.
Double-click existing styles to edit them and update all associated text in the current document. From the panel menus, save and load styles to apply them to other documents. Or drag styles from one document to another.
Type styles are hierarchical: Manual overrides replace any applied character styles, which in turn replace applied paragraph styles. This hiearchical approach lets you combine the efficiency of styles with the flexibility to customize your designs.
Tip: To create a style without first selecting text, click the Create New Style icon [ICON] at the bottom of the Paragraph or Character Styles panel. To edit a style without applying it to text, select an image layer, such as the Background.
Drawing
Vector layers
The Line and Shape tools now create fully vector-based objects. Apply strokes and fills using the options bar. Stroke objects with dashed lines and other designs. Fill objects with preset or user-defined gradients, colors, and patterns.
To later revise stroke and fill settings, simply select the object layer, and then select the Path Selection or Direct Selection tool.
Tip: To reduce anti-aliased edges, ensuring that vector objects look as sharp as possible, select Align Edges in the options bar.
Intuitive path editing
By default, dragging with the Direct Selection tool adjusts multiple related segments, letting you quickly transform path shapes. To edit only segments between selected anchor points, reflecting previous Photoshop versions, select Constrain Path Dragging in the options bar.
Video
Choose Window > Timeline to access the redesigned, clip-based Timeline panel, including transitions and effects that give finished videos professional polish. Easily change clip duration and speed, and apply motion effects to text, still images, and Smart Objects.
Video Groups combine multiple video clips and content such as text, images, and shapes on a single Timeline track. Separate audio tracks allow for easy editing and adjusting.
The redesigned video engine also supports a wider range of import formats. When you're ready to output final video, choose File > Export > Render To Video. Photoshop provides helpful presets and options for the DPX, H.264, and QuickTime formats.
Note: In Windows, you must install QuickTime separately.
Correcting wide-angle lenses
Choose Filter > Adaptive Wide Angle to quickly straighten lines that appear curved in panoramas or photos shot with fisheye and wide-angle lenses. The filter uses the physical characteristics of individual lenses to automatically correct images.
Fine-tune the adjustments with these options in the Adaptive Wide Angle dialog box:
In the upper left of the dialog box, choose the Constraint or Polygon Constraint tool. Then drag across key objects you want to straighten or align vertically or horizontally. (If necessary, right-click constraint lines in the image, and choose an orientation from the pop-up menu.)
In the upper right of the dialog box, choose the lens type and focal length, and adjust Scale andCrop Factor to compensate for any blank image areas the filter introduces. (To save and load customized settings for use with future images, click the menu icon.)
Tip: To see a visual representation of the transformations applied to the image, select Show Mesh at the bottom of the dialog box.
Photographic blur gallery
Choose Filter > Field Blur, Iris Blur, or Tilt-Shift to quickly create three distinct photographic blur effects with intuitive on-image controls.
Use Iris Blur to add one or more focus points to your photo. Then move the on-image controls to alter the size and shape of the focus points, the amount of blur in the rest of the image, and the transition between sharp and blurred areas.
For a different look, build a gradient blur effect using the Field Blur option, placing multiple pins with different blur amounts. Or align blur along one or more planes with the Tilt-Shift option.
With the blur adjustments complete, style the overall effect with Bokeh brightness and color controls.
Tip: Combine multiple blur types to produce creative results.
Camera Raw 7
Simplified Basic controls in the Develop tab improve highlight and shadow rendering. New local corrections are available for white balance, highlights, shadows, noise reduction, and moiré.
The new Basic sliders and new local adjustments options appear when you process new images or convert previously-processed images to Process Version 2012 (PV2012). To convert an image, click the exclamation-point icon in the lower-right corner of the image preview area.
Selecting and adjusting colors
Skin-tone selection and face-detection
Choose Select > Color Range. Then, from the top pop-up menu in the Color Range dialog box, choose Skin Tones to easily isolate those tones. To reduce the resulting selection to faces in the image, select Detect Faces.
Or, start off by selecting only faces: Choose Sampled Colors from the top pop-up menu, and then select Localized Color Clusters and Detect Faces. This approach lets you use the eyedropper samplers to refine the selection.
Note: To create a selection that preserves skin tones while you adjust the color of everything else, select Invert below the eyedropper samplers.
Improved Auto corrections
Perfectly enhance your images in a single step with improved Auto options for theLevels, Curves, and Brightness/Contrast adjustments.
Painting and patterns
Oil Paint filter
Choose Filter > Oil Paint to easily create the look of a classic painting.
Erodible and airbrush tips
Choose Window > Brush Presets to quickly access new erodible and airbrush tips, or Window > Brush to customize them.
Erodible pencils and pastels wear down naturally with use. Customize a variety of Brush Tip Shape options: Softness controls the rate of wear, Shape provides settings from flat to round, and Sharpen Tip returns to original crispness. As you paint, watch the amount of wear with the Live Brush Tip Preview to the upper left of the image.
Airbrush tips replicate spray cans with a 3D conical spray. Customize Brush Tip Shape options like Granularity,Spatter, Hardness, and Distortion controls. With a stylus, alter the spread of sprayed strokes by changing pen pressure.
Brush Pose holds stylus tilt, rotation, and pressure
Choose Window > Brush, and select Brush Pose to paint with a specified tilt, rotation, and pressure. Use a stylus to change the stroke relative to the default pose, or select Overrideoptions to maintain a static pose.
Brush Projection applies stylus tilt and rotation to tip shapes
Choose Window > Brush, and select Shape Dynamicsfrom the list at left. At the bottom of the options at right, select Brush Projection. As you paint with a stylus, changes to tilt and rotation alter the tip shape.
Color Dynamics remain consistent for each stroke by default
Color Dynamics settings automatically vary color as you paint. In previous versions of Photoshop, dynamics settings changed color for each distinct tip stamp in a stroke. In Photoshop CS6, however, dynamic changes occur once at the beginning of each stroke. This lets you vary color between strokes, rather than within each individual stroke.
To revert to the behavior of previous versions, choose Window > Brush, and select Color Dynamics from the list at left. At the top of the options at right, select Apply Per Tip.
Scripted patterns
Select Edit > Fill, choose Pattern from the Use menu, and then select Scripted Patterns to choose from several geometric options. Build sophisticated designs by combining these scripts with Custom Pattern presets and blending modes.
Workflow and workspace
Fresh new look
Work with a fresh, elegant interface with design enhancements like the following:
Select from four different brightness levels: Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop> Preferences (Mac OS). In the Interface section, select a Color Theme swatch.
Note: To quickly decrease interface brightness, press Shift + F1. To increase brightness, press Shift + F2.
On-image displays keep you informed as you use your favorite tools, showing dimensions for selections, angles for transformations, and more. To adjust the placement of these values, in the Interface preferences, choose an option from the Show Transformation Values menu.
A new Mini Bridge gallery offers easier access to images and documents. Choose Window >Extensions > Mini Bridge.
To maximize screen space, functions formerly in the application bar have moved elsewhere. To switch between Standard and Full Screen display modes, click the button at the bottom of the toolbar.
Speed from Mercury Graphics Engine
Experience blazing-fast interactions with processing intensive commands likeLiquify, Warp, Puppet Warp, and Crop.
Layer filtering
At the top of the Layers panel, new filtering options help you find key layers in complex documents quickly. Display subsets of layers based on name, kind, effect, mode, attribute, or color label.
Preset migration and sharing
Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate to easily move presets, workspaces, preferences, and settings from Photoshop CS3 and later to Photoshop CS6. Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import PresetsYou should note the licence restrictions for the Apex 3.0 download

There is limited information on the ios8 features on web site. Can anyone help? I have tried checking my settings for problems. Can't find similar problems on support forum. What is next?
Thanks for your quick help. I DID try this. Your English translation was fine. I found it. I changed it. But, so far, nothing has changes on my screen. Any further suggestions?

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?
Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?
For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed: -
Adobe have officially announced the upcoming Creative Suite 4 group of products, including
After Effects CS4,
CS4 Production Premium bundle, and
CS4 Master Collection.
After Effects CS4 Top New Features
b Live Adobe Photoshop 3D layers import
Import Adobe® Photoshop® 3D layers into Adobe After Effects® CS4, move them, animate cameras around them, adjust lighting, and composite them with other elements.
b Searchable timelines and projects and easier nested comp navigation
Locate any element in a comp or project with the new QuickSearch. Quickly navigate between nested comps with the new Mini-Flowchart.
b Compositions exported as layered projects
Export compositions as layered, XFL format projects that can be opened and edited in Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional software. Many After Effects assets such as text and Adobe Illustrator® artwork are preserved as vectors.
b Integrated workflow for mobile device authoring
Select devices in Adobe Device Central and automatically set up an After Effects project that targets those devices, with settings that match the targeted devices and the Render Queue setup to output to the proper codecs and resolutions.
b Numerous interface and workflow tweaks
Work more efficiently with dozens of user-requested changes, including the new Auto Resolution setting that only renders visible pixels when zooming in and out of a comp view, streamlined memory and multicore processing preferences, and more.
b Dynamic Link between Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Soundbooth
Using Adobe Creative Suite® 4 Production Premium software, now link Adobe Premiere® Pro sequences to an After Effects composition and After Effects comps to Adobe Soundbooth® with Adobe Dynamic Link.
b Independent keyframing of x, y, z values, plus 3D compositing improvements
Composite in 3D space more easily: Keyframe x, y, and z position values separately, and use the new unified camera, which makes the After Effects camera tool work more like those in 3D modeling applications.
b Cartoon effect
Instantly give live footage the look of cell animation. Stylize video by reducing the color palette of a clip and by emphasizing edges.
b Mocha for Adobe After Effects from Imagineer Systems
Use this powerful 2.5D planar tracking application from Imagineer Systems to track the motion of elements even in challenging shots where elements move offscreen or where there is motion blur or excessive grain.
b XMP metadata for asset intelligence
Now retain asset metadata while you work in After Effects. Add new project-, comp-, and layer-level metadata to streamline project tracking, and automate asset auditing and many other tasks.
Also note that
Adobe OnLocation, included in the CS4 Master Collection, Production Premium bundle, and with Premiere Pro, now runs natively in Mac OS X as well as Windows.
Adobe is offering some discounted upgrade incentive pricing for a limited time and/or pre-ordering. Some initial U.S. prices are as follows:

Click here to be notified when CS4 products are available for purchase and trial.There's a list of the big new features in the
"New features in After Effects CS4" section of After Effects CS4 Help on the Web, and you can read about every little change to the UI in the
"User interface changes from After Effects CS3 to After Effects CS4" section.
But I thought that all of you who have posted requests to this wishlist might like to get specific responses to some of the items on this list.
First of all, though, I'd like to point out an innovative set of features that I think addresses a request that many of you have made... just not exactly as you asked for it. All of us have wanted a better way to see into and navigate among nested compositions (precompositions). The Composition Mini-Flowchart and Composition Navigator make moving around in a complex project much, much faster and easier. Telling you to see the
"Opening and navigating nested compositions" section isn't going to do this feature set justice. You'll only appreciate how slick this is when you get your hands on it.
Oh, and we reversed the behavior of double-clicking versus Option-double-clicking a precomposition layer: Now double-clicking opens the source composition in the Composition panel, not the precomposition layer in the Layer panel.
Now, on to the specific responses...
David Wigforss:
> I completely agree that the graph editor needs work....
> Position values need to be seperated into 3 distinct values that can
> be adjusted independant of each other.
Done.
See
"Separate dimensions of Position to animate components individually".
Mark Weiss:
> would like to see XDCam EX import capabilities.
Done.
See
"Supported import formats".
AndyClarke:
> all effects in 32 bit or float
Not quite all. But more are, including all of the 3D Channel effects, which is a category that really needed the upgrade.
See
"Effects and animation presets".
AndyClarke
> prob a really simple little thing but a 'centre anchor point' button could be handy?
Move layers so that their anchor points are in the center of the composition or view?
If so, then done. See the first tip on the
"Move layers in space" page.
silversurfer:
> An intra-project search function that displays properties of every layer.
Done.
See
"Search and filter in the Timeline, Project, and Effects & Presets panels".
(Plus, you can now use the shortcut FF to show instances of missing effects. See
"About effects".)
Thomas Craul:
> the possibility to expand all of the effects parameters in the effect controls window at once.
> just like when expanding all layer properties or all subfolders with strg+klick (little arrow).
Done.
See
"Shortcuts: showing properties in the Effect Controls panel".
Pietje Bel:
> I'd like to see some features I can use with my tablet (I got it for photoshop, though
> I use AE even more than I use photoshop).
We've had features for using the pen dynamics with the paint tools for a while. See
"Brushes and the Brushes panel".
That said, we've made some improvements under the hood that should make using a pen better (e.g., modifying the sensitivity during certain click and drag operations).
Darren McNeill:
> Simple, I would like After Effects to have the ability to extrude Text in 3d space.
> Nothing complicated, just be able to create 3d Text.
How about the ability to do this in Photoshop and then import the 3D object layer into After Effects?
See
"Using 3D object layers from Photoshop"
invisiblerabbit:
> Being able to specify how many processors to use in the multiprocessing preference pane.
Done. Plus other improvements in this area.
See
"Memory & Multiprocessing preferences".
invisiblerabbit:
> I'd love a setting either in the preferences or the output module to write project
> information (importantly: the name of the project) into the metadata of the rendered file.
Done. And then some. On steroids.
See
"XMP metadata in After Effects".
Navarro Parker:
> I'd love AE projects to be searchable. Having the ability to search for comp names or source footage
> names within projects from the Finder would be fantastic.
Done, as long as you have the means to search within XML files. The new XML project file format opens up a lot of scripting possibilities, too.
See
"About projects".
David Bogie:
> I humbly ask the Adobe After Effects team to concentrate first on fixing anything
> and everything that is broken or buggy before adding any more complexity to this application.
> Make it more elgant, make it easier to use, make it faster... sure, fine. But invest the
> creative energy and geek resources to making it work flawlessly instead of adding more stuff.
Though we did add "more stuff", we also spent a lot of time polishing the application this time. The number of small tweaks to address pain points was very large.
AndyClarke:
> I just don't like the help browser.
Better?
After Effects CS4 Help on the Web
Laurie Hogan:
> I got a simple one. Can AE have Spell Check.
AE Enhancers provides
a spelling checker script.
Laurie Hogan:
> Also Can there be more integration between AE and Apple FCP.
I give a link to a script from Dale Bradshaw on the
"Supported import formats" page (at the bottom of the page). -

if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

I am sure if they can pinpoint you on the map they could tell what direction your holding the phone on the 3g.
The cam is very poor on the 3g phone it,s more like an afterthought.
I don't understand why apple did not have the function of moving your photos and ringtones with drag and drop onto itunes rather than sync to a folder.
yes there are apps you can buy but even a £20 phone lets you do all of above without added cost to the user.
and where is the software reset for clearing the memory or is that an afterthought too.
PS not picking holes it's a fact.
The HTC phone is a nice phone mate has one. -

3. Q) Release 7.2와 7.3에서 추가된 optimization 기능에는 어떤 내용이 있습
니까?
A) 다음과 같은 기능들이 있습니다.
1> Direct Database Reads
Parallel query 프로세스들은 필터링이나, 소팅, 조인과 같은 작업을 수행하
기 위해서는 아주 큰 테이블을 scanning해야 합니다. Direct Database Reads는
read efficiency와 성능의 향상을 위해 contiguous memory read를 가능하게 해
줍니다. 또한, concurrent OLTP와 같은 작업을 수행시 따르는 경합을 없애기 위
해 버퍼 캐쉬를 bypass합니다.
2> Direct Database Writes
Parallel query 프로세스들은 intermediate sort runs, summarization
(CREATE TABLE AS SELECT), index creation(CREATE INDEX)과 같은 작업의 수행
결과를 디스크에 종종 기록해야 합니다.
Direct Database Writes는 write efficiency와 성능의 향상을 위해 direct
contiguous memory로 하여금 contiguous disk writes를 가능하게 해줍니다.
또한, concurrent OLTP 작업과 DBWR 프로세스에 의한 경합을 없애기 위해 버
퍼 캐쉬를 bypass합니다.
결론적으로, Direct Database Reads와 Writes는 concurrent OLTP와 DSS 작
업에 따르는 복잡한 부하를 조절하면서 Oracle 7 서버를 분리된 형태로, 또한 최
적의 튜닝을 가능하게 해줍니다.
3> Asynchronous I/O
Oracle 7은 이미 sorts, summarization, index creation, direct-path
loading 에 대한 asynchronous write 기능을 제공하고 있습니다.
Release 7.3부터는 보다 나은 성능의 향상을 위해 asynchronous read-ahead
기능을 제공하여 최대한 processing과 I/O의 병행성을 증가시켜 줍니다.
4> Parallel Table Creation
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...와 같은 구문을 제공하여 상세한 데이타를
갖는 큰 테이블의 조회된 결과를 저장하기 위해 임시 테이블을 생성합니다.
이 기능은 보통 intermediate operation의 결과를 저장하기 위해 drill-down
분석을 할 때 사용됩니다.
5> Support for the Star Query Optimization
Oracle 7은 수행 속도의 향상을 위해 star 스키마가 존재하고, star query
optimization을 invoke합니다. Star query는 먼저 여러 개의 작은 테이블을
join하고, 그런 후에, 그 결과를 하나의 큰 테이블로 join합니다.
6> Intelligent Function Shipping
Release 7.3부터 parallel query를 처리하는 coordinator 프로세스는
non-shared memory machine(cluster 또는 MPP) 내의 노드들을 처리하기 위해
디스크나 데이타들 간의 유사성에 대해 인식하게 될 것입니다.
이 사실에 근거하여, coordinator는 data들이 machine의 shared
interconnect를 통해 전달될 필요가 없다는 점에서, 특정 node-disk pair로 수
행되고 있는 프로세스들에게 parallel query operation을 지정할 수 있습니다.
이 기능은 연관된 cost나 overhead없이 'shared nothing' 소프트웨어 아키텍
쳐의 잇점을 제공하면서 효율성과 성능, 확장성을 개선할 수 있습니다.
7> Histograms
Release 7.3부터 Oracle optimizer는 테이블의 컬럼 내에 있는 데이타 값의
분포에 관한 더 많은 정보를 이용할 수 있습니다. Value와 상대적 빈도수를 나타
내는 histogram은 optimizer에게 index의 상대적 'selectivity'에 관한 정보와
어떤 index를 사용해야할 것인가에 관한 더 좋은 아이디어를 제공해 줄 것입니다.
적절한 선택을 한다면, query의 수행시간을 몇 분, 심지어 몇 시간씩이나 단축
시킬 수가 있습니다.
8> Parallel Hash Joins
Release 7.3부터 Oracle 7은 join 처리시간의 단축을 위하여 hash join을 제
공합니다. 해슁 테크닉을 사용하면 join을 하기 위해 데이타를 소트하지 않아도
되며, 기존에 존재하는 인덱스를 사용하지 않으면서 'on-the-fly' 라는 개념을 제
공합니다.
따라서, star schema 데이타베이스에 전형적으로 적용되는 small-to-large
테이블 join의 수행 속도를 향상시킬 것입니다.
9> Parallel UNION and UNION ALL
Release 7.3부터 Oracle 7은 UNION과 UNION ALL과 같은 set operator를 사
용하여 완전히 parallel하게 query를 수행할 수 있습니다. 이러한 operator를 사
용하면, 큰 테이블들을 여러 개의 작은 테이블의 집합으로 나누어 처리하기가 훨
씬 쉬워질 것입니다.
4. Q) Release 7.3에는 어떤 제품들이 있습니까?

Oracle Installer 4.0.1P.S. I have checked the CD rom itself by doing the installation in our classroom on a Windows XP Pro machine and it loaded like a charm. I have been emailing and calling Compaq customer support on this issue, and I've done everything they've suggested, including a Quick Format of the hard drive. I am still getting the same results. I have been able to load a small program (Palm Desktop) on the Compaq without a problem, so I don't think it's the CD drive that's the problem, either. Thanks for any help you can give me!!! Deborah

New Features for OWB 9.2
Mark Van De Wiel mentioned yesterday in this forum that OWB 9.2 is now available at http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/warehouse/content.html . From the version number it would appear that this is a major new release, and it's a separate install rather than a patch on OWB9.0.4.
Would Mark, Igor or Shauna be able to give us some background on the new features in this new release? From quickly looking at the release notes they would appear to be;
- Correlated Commit (committing changes across all targets uniformly)
- Ability to create public database links
- Direct PEL (removes the need for temporary tables when exchanging partitions)
- Enhanced Flat File Support
- Mapping Debugger
- Incorporation of ETL functionality previously found in standalone Pure*Integrate
- Metadata change management using the OWB GUI rather than using OMB*Plus
- Multiple Name and Address Software Providers
- Name/Address Wizard
- New Public API for OWB
- Better support for Real Application Clusters
- Advanced Repository Security and Audit options
- Support for MITI metadata bridges to third-party products
It would be good to know the thinking behind these and what areas they think will be particularly of interest to us. Also, has anything been removed or changed that we've got used to using?
Also, any day now (fingers crossed) the patch to make the OLAP functionality in OWB9.0.4 work (the 9i 9.2.0.3.x patch?) should be out - will this work with OWB9.2 as well?
Many thanks
Mark Rittman
[email protected]Hi Mark,
While I'm not in your list of people to respond I figure I give it a go anyways :-)
The list of features you mentioned is a nice summary. One of the main release themes is data quality as you noticed. Apart from changes to the name&address functionality we also added the advanced matching and merging into this release. So you can use custom rules to match and merge data. This also allows you to do things like householding for customer data records. In essence we have now completed the integration of Pure*Integrate into Warehouse Builder.
The mapping debugger is another big thing. This allow you to walk through your mappings and see in detail what happes to the data.
The metadata change management is now in the UI. THis means there is now object level version management in Warehouse Builder via the UI. You can also compare versions and get a difference report.
As you mentioned there are a number of smaller and bigger features next to this. The idea for this release is to make OWB a top Data Quality product and allow you to do your ETL and DQ in one tool. Apart from that we have added usability features (debugger, N&A wizard) and we have added some features to solve specific problems.
Especially the corelated commit is interesting in that respect. You can now, in a map with multiple targets control the commit, and choose to either commit all targets or none, or commit them individually (current behavior).
As usual there is a lot more, as this is indeed a major release. Keep an eye on OTN for more collateral regarding the new features. We are currently updating the site to reflect the new stuff.
On the OLAP patch, both 9.0.4 and 9.2 will work equally well with the OLAP patch (when it is available). In 9.2 we added some small thing around composites. More about that when there is an OLAP patch to test this one on in a customer site.
I hope this answered the question, if not let me know.

"Missing" new features in Amber?
Some customers have posted about new features which seem to be absent from their phones after the Amber update.
FM Radio
This is a new feature for Lumia 520, 521, 720, 820, 920 and 925. You will find Radio as a new option in Music and Videos, see the screen shot below, it will not appear as a separate app in your app list.
FM Radio is not available in Lumia 620, 810 and 928 as these models do not have all of the necessary hardware.
Double-Tap and Glance Screen
These are features first require an updated version of "Display+Touch", you should be offered this as a suggested app update by the Microsoft Store app or Store live tile shortly after updating. If you haven't seen the notification yet, you can search the store for the app and download the update directly.
Also, please note that these features are not switched on by default:
Double-tap to awaken (Not available on Lumia 520, 521, 620 or 720) - go to Settings>Display+Touch, slide sideways to "Double-Tap" and tap the tick-box.
Glance screen (not available on 520/521) - go to Settings>Display+Touch, slide sideways to "Glance" and choose "Peek" for display when you hand is held over the phone (this option used the proximity sensor), "Timed" for a fifteen minute display of the Glance screen after the phone locks or "Always on".
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.For phones at about 25% the price of an iPhone these models hold their own pretty well. I find the remarks here quite laughable and hilarious. You buy a budget phone, where technical and hardware compromises have to be made to bring cost down. The notion you paid for features which become available at a later date for some models is just ridiculous and childish.
I refuse to believe anyone with a sane mind would go beserk over a trivial feature not available to them. Good luck with your double tap to wake feature on your iPhone.. oh wait.. Android then.. damn again..
Get a life people, you sound like a bunch of crybabies.

List of useful NEW features in Keynote '13
There's a long thread on features that are missing in the update. Some changes are quite annoying. However I'm also noticing a lot of useful new features beyond the top-level things that get reported in news articles. Here are some. Please add to the list.
Text boxes can take any shape so text flows in a specific way you want it to, such as around a curved shape — awesome special case of the next feature.
Format > Shapes and Lines > Make Editable allows you to edit bezier points of an object. Note: inconsistent functionality — weirdly, does not work for curves or connection lines, for example.
Vastly simpler and more beautiful way of editing Bezier points: simply hover mouse between two existing points and a new one appears for you to grab onto if you want it.
Edit shapes with unite / intersect / subtract (under Format > Shapes and Lines). E.g., take a bite out of an object.
Connection lines (under Insert - > lines). Like magnets in OmniGraffle: the end of the line attaches to another object and moves with it. But very limited halfhearted implementation: not every object type can be connected to, you can’t designate positions on the object to connect to, nothing else in the interface even tells you whether the line is a connector or not, there’s no way to switch it on an off for a particular object, etc…
Magic Move transitioncan match text boxes with some text changes (inserting words or letters)
Format > Shapes and Lines > Make motion path from shape (haven’t tried this)
Insert comments tagged with your name and optionally attached to certain objects
Fewer floating windows (panel on right instead)
Negative things worth noting:
The new keynote autosaves, even when this destroys compatibility with older versions of Keynote. So if you want to try editing an old presentation, and you might want to still use it in the old Keynote, make a copy first.
The new Curve object (click the Shape toolbar button, and it’s in the top right) is very strange and you might want to avoid using it. It doesn’t seem to be a “first class” object like others. You cannot add Bezier points, and strangely, you can’t even rotate it! Instead, add a straight line and then add a Bezier point to it.
Cannot reapply master to selection (can only apply to entire slide)
Bezier nodes have only a point, not the two handles, so they’re less flexible
Old themes can fail to work correctly. Not only if there are animations in the master, as has been reported elsewhere; one of my themes incorrectly displays paragraphs as bullets, until I manually tell it to reapply the master to the slide.The viewable area is centered now. So, you can stage objects off-slide to the top or left very easily.
No more fiddling with a button to scale. Now, as with most drawing apps, pinch can zoom in and out quickly
Right-to-left language text (like Arabic and Hebrew) builds actually WORK!
Have an image and want to replace it with an updated version (or one that's customer specific)? You can now replace images in place quickly
Negative thing worth noting
No longer possible to tweak the file manually to create rounded joins on lines (or rounded butts on dashes for that matter). If you have an old file you manually updated, those still work in the latest version (I've posted a presentation here that uses lines with rounded corners instead of mitered corners to show the difference https://www.icloud.com/iw/#keynote/BAI2xMm7NsSaRKQ1wayBKy6a3BIs7ZO7W1OE/Symbols_ ME_11) -
So, my IPod touch is running 5.1.1 and is slow and sometimes unresponsive. According to Apple it will not update to iOS 6. It is a 32GB, 3rd Generation. I want the new features but it's making me mad. I do not want to jailbreak. As this would void my device from Apple. I love the features iOS 6 has to offer but I don't want to put out anymore money. IPods are expensive enough, Should I use blobs? Or would that make my device worse. Plus I do not want to pay $20.00 for a chat and have to wait all day to someone who I can't understand on the telephone. someone help me please.
For the slowness:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
