New iBA Features Announced 10/23
Watching the Apple event today, I think I heard them say that iBooks Author will be updated to included font embedding, which would certainly be welcome. In addition, it seems iBooks 3 will have support for the vertical text layout and reverse page turning used by Chinese and Japanese books, so I wonder if iBA will get that too.
I have not seen any updates for either so far myself.

Wait for iBooks 3.0....?
I don't see how releasing iBooks 3 could add this feature to iBook Author 2. I was thinking they might include this in iBA so it could take advantage of the new support in iBooks. It does exist in TextEdit.

X Series is here – New Counter Features!
Hey All,
The new X Series Multifunction DAQ devices have been announced – check them out here.
I’m posting here because I think X Series has several new counter features that many on this forum have been looking for. The user manual
will have all of these details and more with timing diagrams but I
thought I’d summarize a few of the sexier features and open it up for
comments/feedback.
First off – what stayed the same between
M Series/TIO counters and X series counters? The pinouts between M and
X series are the same so the PFI lines and default counter pinouts are
the same. The DAQmx programming is the same (you’ll need DAQmx 9.0, it
should be up this afternoon) and all the functionality that was
supported by M Series is supported by X Series, though a few behaviors
may have changed. Counters are still 32 bit.
Now on to
the fun stuff – the big one that I tend to overlook: X Series has 4
counters per board! They all have the same features and Freq Out is
still there too (with an additional 20MHz timebase).
Timebases:
X Series devices have 100MHz, 20MHz and 100kHz timebases. Note the
difference between 80MHz on M series and 100MHz on X series. DAQmx will
take care of the difference for you, unless you were programming in
terms of ticks and hardcoded in numbers based off of a 80MHz clock.
Counter
FIFOs: X Series has a 127 sample FIFO per counter. When combined with
PCIe/PXIe, our benchmarked buffered counter rates went from ~350k on M series
(with a 2 sample FIFO) with a single counter to 10MHz on all four
counters (160MB/s streaming rate). The FIFO also allows us to implement…
Buffered Counter Output: Probably my favorite new feature. You can
now use a multi point write on counters and write out a buffer of pulse
values. There are two timing modes for this: implicit and sample
clocked. With implicit timing, every idle/active pair you write is
generated as a pulse. You can vary the idle/active time for every pulse
in your pulse train. Check out the "Gen Dig Pulse
Train-Buff-Implicit-Cont.vi" shipping example. With sample clock
timing, the idle/active time are updated every time a sample clock is
received. Check out the "Gen Dig Pulse Train-Buff-Ext Clk-Cont.vi"
shipping example. These modes give you much more control over your
waveform – now everything about it can be hardware timed. Also, I’ve
benchmarked the output rates at 10MHz on all four counters at the same
time.
Finite pulse train with one counter: Each X Series
counter has an Embedded counter paired with it. The embedded counter
isn’t directly programmable, but it does allow you to do counter
operations on one counter that used to take two. A finite pulse train
used to take two counters – one to generate the pulse train and one to
gate it. Now a counter generates the pulse train, and its embedded
counter counts the TCs and disables the counter when it reaches the
number of pulses to generate.
More sample clocked
measurement modes: Edge counting and encoder measurements always
supported sample clocks, all other counter measurements were implicitly
(timed by the measurement waveform) timed. With the addition of the
sample clock terminal to the counters now all counter measurements
(except for semi-period) support sample clock timing. You can now get
the pulse width of the pulse just before the sample clock rather than
getting all the pulse widths and figuring out where they happened in
time. Why not semi period? We added a new “pulse” measurement instead
that returns a sample that contains the high and low time (or high and
low ticks, or frequency and duty cycle) so for each sample clock edge
you get a full pulse spec. Semi period still supports the same
measurements it used to, just not sample clocked. Speaking of sample
clocked…
Sample clocked frequency/period measurement
with averaging: X Series still supports the three frequency modes: Low
frequency 1 counter, 2 counter High Frequency and 2 counter Large
Range. In addition it supports sample clocked averaging. This is
essentially a method that is high accuracy method based on the sample
clock rate. With the same measurement time it has the same accuracy as
the Large range mode but it doesn’t take two counters. Note, counters
do not have their own internal sample clock so you have to provide them
with an external signal.
Hope this helps,

Measurement FundamentalsHi guys,
I drew up a schematic of one of the applications I need to get running in our lab. To recap:
1) We have several piezo controllers for nanopositioning of samples under a microscope, some of them driven by a digital circuit that handles coordinate programming and trigger line programming (for syncing detectors to the piezo motion), other controllers are analog and need to be driven by voltages.
2) We would like to emulate the behavior of the digital controller using the analog HW (we have much more analog controllers than digital ones).
3) The basic implementation is like this (see also slide one in the attached pdf file) and runs perfectly:
a. A global pulsetrain ticks with a certain frequency
b. At each tick a voltage is written on an AO line and this tick is also sent to an RTSI line to sync multiple detectors
4) To fully emulate the digital controller we also need to implement 4 trigger lines that exist on the digital controller. These trigger lines allow for fully programmable pulsetrain output that is in sync with the movement of the piezo. Slide two in the attached pdf illustrates what is needed. These trigger lines allow for much more intricate syncing of our detectors (only measure during certain parts of the motion instead of all the time).
After a lot of thinking and experimenting with the existing M series boards back here I came to the conclusion that the desired behavior is not possible with an M series board since they only allow for the output of “simple” pulsetrains with a given frequency.
Looking at this webpage (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9384#toc3) however, I think that the X series board would offer exactly what we need since it allows for buffered counter output that enables definition of very complex pulstrain “shapes”.
Looking at the schemes I provided, could someone confirm that the X-series covers our needs? If this is the case, we would be interested in purchasing these kinds of boards.
Cheers,
Kris Janssen

Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7
Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7.
You are supposed to be able to take panoramic photos and then set them as your lock screen background.
Then you can move your phone around to see the full photo.
My i5 doesn't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I believe this was removed in the later betas of IOS 7. It may make a reappearance in a future update.
It was mentioned at WWDC when iOS 7 was announced, but there is no mention of it on the Apple website. -
In the past 48 hrs, all of a sudden, the New Tab feature on my PC< using Firefox 3.56, simply stopped working. I did not change settings, or download a new version of Firefox. it just stopped working. There are other scenarios where it does still work (for example, if I want to open a link on a web page, I can right click and open the link in a new tab), but if I simply want to have multiple websites open at once on my PC, I am forced to have multiple versions of Firefox open, as my New Tab option seems to be disabled or something. Can you help?
Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

Can I use iWork '09 on Lion without using new Lion features?
I do not wish to use the new features in Lion, primarily autosave, with iWork, at least initially. In other words have iWork act as it would in S.L. However, I need to purchase iWork in order to continue using a bunch of Appleworks spreadsheets. I am using a new MBP with OS 10.7.1. My plan is to purchase the hard copy iWork '09 from the Apple Store (the AppStore download versions have already been updated). This CD should be some version of 9.0 as they have not put 9.1 on the CD. My idea is to just not let the modules (Numbers, Pages, etc.) get updated until I am ready. My question is -- will Numbers and Pages work properly on Lion without using the final update to the new Lion Features, and which updates to Numbers and Pages should I avoid?
Any help is appreciated.Sjazbec wrote:
Resume can be disabled systemwide in Systemsettings, general section.
Alas, it's reactivated when we shutdown if we don't take care to uncheck the dedicated box.
More, if we ask to restart on an other device, we have no checkbox available to disable Resume.
Happily, it seems that pressing option during the shutdown process disable the beast.

New Movies feature in Garageband 11- how to export?
I work at a school and would like to be able to import editable videos from Discovery Education United Streaming into the new Movies feature in Garageband. The thought is to have them remove the audio and then create their own on top of the video. Some students have pre-made songs that they have done previously that we want to add video to. This seems like it would be much easier for students to do in Garageband than importing into iMovie and splitting the audio and then finding their Garageband recordings to insert.
The problem I ran into is that I can import the videos, but Garageband will not allow me to export them. I have tried on multiple machines, and with multiple videos. I called Apple support and they suggested that it is a codec issue with the .mov file from Discovery Ed. They could not tell me what codecs are supported by Garageband.
I was able to get around this problem by importing the downloaded video into iMovie, then exporting it right back out as a .mov file. When I imported that one into Garageband I was able to export the movie with the new audio file from students without any issues. If I do this, I might as well just have students use iMovie instead.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do in Garageband to make this work as easily as it should. Thank you.Do you have a link to one of the movies?

Adobe recommends: New CSS features in Dreamweaver CS5
Over the next week, we are going to be publicizing some high-value content from adobe.com and other community sites. We have been tracking what's been most important to our users, and feel that getting this content out to the larger community will go a long way toward helping people tackle some of their most pressing challenges.
Continuing our trip along the CSS highway, our next recommendation is a video by Dremeaver superstar Brian Wood:
New CSS features in Dreamweaver CS5
The video demonstrates some of the most exciting new CSS features in Dreamweaver: new CSS layouts, CSS inspect, and CSS enable/disable.
Give it a spin and let us know what you think!
Previous recommendation threads:

CSS page layout basicsThanks for the answer this is very useful however I still find that Dreamwever defaults back to writing in CSS, I have to go to the manel every time and switch from CSS style to Inline style which is very irritating. Is there any way to disable writing in CSS all together like their used to be in CS3..in the preferences.
Much appreciated -
EBay does not recognize new security feature requiring security number in Firefox but works with IE
eBay has a new security feature when attempting to e-mail a seller; it requires that you enter a numerical code in a box. When on Firefox eBay does not recognize that I've entered the number and keeps telling me to enter the number but when on IE it recognizes the number. What add-on, etc do I need to make Firefox compatible with eBay? Thanks
== URL of affected sites ==
http://ebay.comThe problem seems to be caused by the Java Console add-ons. Disabling mine (6.0.20 and 6.0.21) fixed the problem.

New Zones features in Solaris 10 Beta 5
Solaris 10 Beta 5 (otherwise known as Software Express 7/04) should be
available shortly via the download link
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/get.html
For more information on what's available in the release, please see the
already posted documentation
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-0547
There are some new Zones features in this release that folks might be
interested in
* Command line editing and history for zonecfg(1M)
With support from the the libtecla(3LIB) library, zonecfg(1M) now has
command line editing and history support which should help in creating
and/or modifying a zone's configuration.
* Configuring UFS, UDFS, HSFS and PCFS file systems through zonecfg(1M)
Starting with this release, users can specify ufs, udfs(7FS), hsfs(7FS)
and pcfs(7D) file systems as part of the zone's configuration. For
example, if /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 is a block device that you want to
dedicate to a zone under the name /mydata, it can be added as follows:
# zonecfg -z myzone
zonecfg:myzone> add fs
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set dir=/mydata
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set special=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set raw=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set type=ufs
zonecfg:myzone:fs> end
zonecfg:myzone> commit
zonecfg:myzone> ^D
This file system will automatically get mounted under the name /mydata
inside the zone when it is booted or made "ready".
* NFSv4 client support for Zones
Zones can now be NFSv4 clients although in this release the default is
to begin negotiating as NFSv3 clients. To configure a zone to
negotiate NFSv4, the NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX parameter in /etc/default/nfs
should be uncommented and set to "4".
* The new -z and -Z options to ps(1)
The new -z option can be used to select only processes in the given
list of zones. For example, the command "ps -z twilight,16,myzone"
will print those processes from the zones with the names "twilight",
"myzone" and the zoneid 16.
The -Z option automatically adds a ZONE field to the existing reports
as the first column.
The Zones team would appreciate hearing feedback from our customers on
these new features and any other Zones issues or questions that you
might have.In the README file for the 07/04 release it says that there's a problem with some 64bit runtime libraries missing from the SUNWlibC package. I'm a bit unsure about where to download this package from. Do you have the link to the page it is refering too???

NSS326 Problems Using New SFTP Features
Is anyone else having issues using the new SFTP feature that was released in the 1.2 firmware? We are running firmware 1.3. When we try to connect to the NSS326 via SFTP, the only user that can login is "admin" and they get placed directly into the root of the device. We want to use the SFTP feature to backup Communications Manager (which requires SFTP) but being dumped into the "root" does not appear to give us access to the vast disk space on the unit, so the backup fails. Is there a way to configure the SFTP options, because the administration GUI only specifies FTPS (Explicit)? Thanks.
On my NSS326, I have a single RAID-6 volume and it's mounted under /share/MD0_DATA. Each shared folder is containted in that directory (i.e. Web), but is also symlinked to /share, so my Web content is available under /share/Web. If you create a new "backups" shared folder, for example, it should be available under /share/backups. You could try specifying that destination directory for your SFTP backups.
