New PB pixel size a problem for reading and viewing?

Was about to order a new 15 inch, but my friend says don't do it...the smaller pixels make reading text impossible, and other things hard to distinuish.
Is this an exageration, or a valid concern? I was quite excited to finally go ahead with the purchase, but now there's a cloud over the decision. Any comments from new PB owners would be appreciated.

Best advice I can give to you is to get to a store where they are on display - play around for a long while and see what you think.
I would also try changing the default font smoothing (in system preferences>appearance) to Light. It makes text much sharper. Applications start to obey the new smoothing when they are relaunched, not immediately.
Whether or not the PB15s you look at appear to have "the lines" is a different question. And only one that you can answer.
Good luck. If you like the display, then the PB15 is an awesome computer - just make sure you put 1GB+ in it to let OSX.4 really fly.

  • I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

    I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money?
    Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound?

    Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
    I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
    Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
    The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
    I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
    I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? You will not lose any data. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Open file for reading and allow access by others

    How can I open a file for reading and still allow others to access (read and write) the file?  I plan to keep this file open for the duration of my program and close it at the end.  However while my program is running another program will need access to the file so it can write to it.  I may be wrong, but I dont think that setting the appropriate permission will solve the problem...  Thank you for your time.

    hi jmcbee,
          I think as long as "readers" open a file as "ReadOnly", then the OS (at least Windows) will allow another process to open and write to the same file without a problem.  It's been a while since I've done this - maybe 7 years - and I may have opened the "writer" first, though doubt it makes a difference.
    Have you tried?
    Cheers!

  • Lightweight library for reading and writing mp3-tags

    Hi,
    I'm currently evaluating libraries for reading and writing mp3-tags. All the projects I found so far where not maintained for a couple of years.
    My question:
    Is there currently a library, which one could call standard for this purpose
    Cheers

    All the projects I found so far where not maintained for a couple of years.It may either be dead, or it may be so finished and free of bugs that no maintenance is needed anymore.
    If you're occurring problems with it and if it is open source you can always consider taking a fork for own development.

  • Creating a external content type for Read and Update data from two tables in sqlserver using sharepoint designer

    Hi
    how to create a external content type for  Read and Update data from two tables in  sqlserver using sharepoint designer 2010
    i created a bcs service using centraladministration site
    i have two tables in sqlserver
    1)Employee

    empid firstname deptno location
    and same time update  in two tables
    adil

    When I try to create an external content type based on a view (AdventureWorks2012.vSalesPerson) - I can display the data in an external list.  When I attempt to edit it, I get an error:
    External List fails when attached to a SQL view        
    Sorry, something went wrong
    Failed to update a list item for this external list based on the Entity (External Content Type) 'SalesForce' in EntityNamespace 'http://xxxxxxxx'. Details: The query against the database caused an error.
    I can edit the view in SQL Manager, so it seems strange that it fails.
    Any advice would be greatly GREATLY appreciated.

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Delayed Data Display for Tables and Views

    Is it possible to delay the display of data for data and views.
    I work on remote databases over relatively slow ADSL/Dialup connections when compared to a LAN/WAN.
    If the tables are large, the data retrieved can be relatively slow and therefore the setting of a filter before display would reduce the amount of data retrieved and enable the viewing of the attributes, statistics etc in a timely manner

    AL_INDEX and AL_COLMAP store metadata of tables that you import in Datastore
    AL_COLMAP and AL_COLMAP_TEXT table store column mapping information that use in Dataflow, this data is usually populated when you save Dataflow, check if the "automatically calculate column mapping" option is checked in the Tools-> Options window in Designer
    if you are not seeing any data in these 2 tables, then go to Designer, select Datastore tab in object library right in the Datastore workspace select Repository menu option and select Calculate Usage Dependency once that completes do select Calculate Column Mapping from the same menu, once that completes check if you see data in these 2 tables

  • What is the maximum size the of files we can use for reading and writing

    Hi
    i have attached a vi which i use to read and write reports.
    My system would run continuosly for more than 2 days, typically i expect a file size of 30MB per day. I keep on appending the data in the file.
    The VI everytime opens the file appends it and closes.
    Does this affect the performance as the file size increases?
    What is the effective way to do it?
    Is there any file size restriction in windows?
    Attachments:
    Read_or_Write_Current_Cycle's_Data.zip ‏27 KB

    First: The performance by increasing file size depends from the file system (FAT32 or NTFS) you are using. NTFS will be better if the file size increases. Also the size of the partition will have an effect on this.
    Second: The effective way will be not to close and reopen the file. Use "File I/O > Advanced File Functions > Flush File" to write the file to the system instead of File Close and File Open. Flush File will force the file system driver to write the file to disk and update the file information on disk. On NT based systems this will be done with a latency time of 4 seconds. This is even true if you close the file and the time cannot be changed.
    Third: There are file restriction to the lenght which do not depend on Windows, they depend on
    the file system. FAT32 can handle files until 4 GByte (2^32) and NTFS can handle 2^64 Bytes. Since LV is platform independent the LV file functions can handle only 4 GByte. The offset parameter in the file functions has a I32 data type.

  • The VI of I2C driver for reading and writing registers was functional in 6.1 but that same VI is not working for 7.0 & 7.1 version. WinIO is also used in generating the dll as OS is Windows2000. What could be the problem?

    THIS IS THE CPP FOR READ. sIMILAR vi WAS MADE FOR WRITE
    Attachments:
    I2C_Read.cpp ‏7 KB

    HI,
    I'm not familiary wiht the WinIO functio that you are using here but there are a couple of thisngs to watch out for when doing low-level access.
    The most common problem with low level IO functions is that if they were created for Win9x, they will not work under Win NT/2000/XP. NT based OSes require you to have kernel access to do any low level communication. Make sure that the WinIO library that you are using is aupported under Win2K.
    Since you have the code for the dll available, you could attach LabVIEW as an external process in your C compiler and debug the dll; this can helps you track down the exact function that is failing.
    Just my 2 cents.
    Regards,
    Juan Carlos
