Please recommend me a case (read)

I want a full body case that covers the back and sides of the phone but also covers the home button. preferably not huge, ugly and ideally it would be a hard case.
hopefully it is available in the UK...
thanks, scott.

How about this otterbox defender case? http://www.facebook.com/notes/pandamimicom/otterbox-defender-iphone-4-case-four- colors-available-red-blue-black-and-white/215863128435662

Please recommend a good case w/ belt clip till the otterbox defender....

comes out.
I just got a email saying my phone should be In tomorrow & I need a good,protective case w/ a belt clip to hold it In untill the Otterbox defender case comes out for the iPhone 4.
Please recommend a good case.

Does anybody know of a leather flip case with a belt clip? The Otterbox is nice, but it still leaves the screen facing everyone when it's on the belt; I'd rather cover it, if only for privacy reasons.
I'm using Proporta's Aluminium Lined Leather case with my 3G, but their iPhone 4 version (http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?tid=5140&tmode=des) omits the clip for some bizarre reason.
At this rate I might see if simply putting a bumper on my phone will let it fit the existing case, though I'll have to cut a bit out of the back if I want to use the flash, of course

Please recommend a CF card reader for Mac

I have a iMac (Intel) desktop and also a Windows based PC. I use the newer Mac to process JPEG photos in Lightroom 3, but here's the catch: most of the time my older Sandisk ImageMate 8-in-1 CF reader does not show up in LR3 (I connect the USB plug directly to the back of the Mac's USB slot). It works just fine with the PC. So it may be a hardware problem and I am willing to invest in a new Mac compatible card reader. My Mac runs on OS X (Lion).
Can someone recommend a Mac OS X-compatible CF card reader? I'm getting desperate.

While it is highly probable that getting a new reader will fix your problem one thing in your post gives me pause. You say that most of the time it doesn't show up, but sometimes it does?
You would think that a comparability problem would be an either or situation. It either works or it doesn't. I would check out a few things first before buying a new reader.
First I'd try a different cable, even if this cable works OK on the PC. Second would be to use a differtn USB port on the Mac. Then I would open Image Capture and see if the reader shows up there. Finally open System Information (in te Utilities folder) and in the hardware section select USB with the card reader attached. See if it shows up in the devices.

Please recommend an ipod touch case

could someone please recommend an ipod touch (64gb) protective case, so that I can have my ipod on my chest using a neck strap! and where I can obtain it from in the UK. Thanks

Let me clarify, did you mean iPod Touch 4?
I'll break it down for you:
iPod Touch 4th is smaller and slimmer than iPhone 4s so iPod cases will not fit on the 4s.
Maybe you meant iPhone 4 and 4s cases? Most of the cases are compatible except for some alignment issues on the volume buttons and mute switch. Other than that, external dimensions are the same.
In face, I am still using all my iPhone 4 cases on my 4s.

Please recommend a case and/or supplier

Hi all
After reading dozens of reviews and deciding to go with the E71 rather than the Blackberry Bold I took delivery of my new toy essential communication device just 2 days ago, so far so good!.
Come over from a palm treo 750 so quite a culture shock from winmo to symbian...anyways...I quite like the case that comes but soonish I would like to get another more accessible one. As per there are literally dozens of versions and even more suppliers online.
I have searched here but to no avail, can anyone recommend a good case/supplier pref a silicon type.
Grateful for suggestions...this post may be in the wrong section?

The 'case' I'm currently using is a ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD. It's basically a film that covers every major flat part of the phones surface - protecting it from scratches and scuffs. According to the ZAGG website it's the same film they use on apache helicopter blades. That basically sealed the deal for me (har har).
In all seriousness once you get it installed (a bit of a surgical operation imo) it's easily the best phone protection I've used because it doesn't hinder usage at all.
Dunno where you're located but I imported mine from the 'states (I'm from Aus).

Please Recommend - AIO/MFP Printer

Hi,
i'm looking for a AIO/MFP printer that support "scan to email" and "scan to network folder".
the above functionality should not require the printer to be directly attach to a pc via USB/LAN/WiFi.
the printer should only need to be be configured as network printer with a fixed IP, and the above requirement can be achieved.
other than that, it should also capable of fax and scan.
there are 5 users, and monthly usage is around 500 pages & above.
please recommend me relevant models in these 3 categories (if available):
-black & white laserjet
-color laserjet
-inkjet
thanks & regards,
LauCN

Well here's what I've done and learned.
Shane - I should have listened to you (ultimately I did!).
I went out and bought an Epson Artisan 810 thinking maybe most of the problems had been solved. Long story short - printed a test page and one other page and then went dead - so two pages out-of-the-box it became a beautiful black brick. Epson was less than useful on the phone - suggested they would send a replacement in 5-7 days. I got a case number from them, and returned the printer to OfficeMax.
While there I mentioned the Lexmark '05 series - and looked at a couple choices. the salesman was very friendly, says the Lexmark rep had spent a lot of time with them. Ended up buying a Lexmark Platinum Pro905 series multifunction machine, with two paper trays. Was discounted down to $299 at OfficeMax along with some free stuff and OfficeMac bonus dollars thrown in.
Snow Leopard 10.6 drivers were available from the Lexmark website, downloaded those and used them along with the install disc that came with the unit.
So far - I'm in printer/fax/scan/copy heaven! Working great. Only glitch for me so far is the second paper drawer does not seem to be adjustable down to photo paper sizes, basically it's a letter paper sized drawer (I think?). It still will suit my purpose, my plan is to keep my checks in the second drawer so I can easily print out on check stock from Quicken, QuickBooks, etc. - so really that solves my problem.
I did play with some 4x6 photo paper in the top drawer and the quality of the photo prints were very much to my liking.
So thanks for everyone's comments, let's keep our fingers crossed.

Please recommend a best practices book

Can someone recommend a core java best practices book.
I have read several books and yet when someone says use a tagging interface... I just look at them and wonder what they are talking about.. then I google and find out.. There may be several such terms that I am not aware of... How do I learn about these terms like POJOs etc.. People keep using words like POJOs and then I find out its nothing but a java class object.. but how do I know that?
Someone once said "You know only 5%, 20% you know you dont know, 75% you dont even know that you dont know".. Which book can give me that 75% ?
I know basic datastructures etc.. but when to apply what is what I want to learn.
A book which talks about when to use which datastructure, good usage of interface examples, and best practices that are used in real application production environment. Can someone please recommend a good book like that ? Is there any ? Real cases?

Maybe this should be a different thread but how do
programmers organize folders for projects?
Every company has a common java classes shared by
programmers I presume? That must be located in a
central access place and I am curious how they
organize folders?Folders? Maybe. Version control system, with a "commons" tree? Better.
Have a look at Matt Raible's AppFuse. It's a fine example organization for a project.
As for me, I do something like this:
I build with Ant: http://ant.apache.org
/source is the directory where anything I check out of version control will go.
Under that:
/java - .java source files.
/lib - 3rd party JARs (e.g., JDBC drivers, etc.)
/jsp - JSPs
/etc - deployment descriptors, like web.xml, etc.
/xml - XML files
/xsl - XSL stylesheets
/html - HTML files
/css - cascading stylesheets
/sql - SQL scripts for creating, altering, populating relational tables.

Please Recommend reliable USB Hub?

RE: Please recommend reliable USB Hub?
It seems not all "Hi-Speed-give-me-a-break-where-are-my-firewire-ports-Steve-dangit" USB devices ports are linking up so easily as advertised these days, at least not for me.
1.0_I Am Looking for a reliable USB hub to expand the port set on a Mac Book Aluminum 2.0 13" Recommendations?
Specifically a USB hub that can connect Little disk drives via the USB extractable cable.
Tried a BELKIN Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Mini Hub (Grey zippo sized case with flip-up section reveals extractable USB cable plus extension) no such luck.
Thanks to all who reply

Indeed Apple recommends you rfirst option, which seems best. the 7 port model is just "wild"
The USB spec says that there can't be greater than 4 ports per USB hub, as well as a limit of five hub extension. There's a reason why it's typically 7 (and not 8) ports. It would be possible by making an 8-port USB hub, with one internal hub using two ports for two four port hubs for a total of 8 ports. A typical 7-port model would internally be considered two 4 port USB hubs, with the second hub connected to one port of the first hub. It could make a difference if more downstream hubs are connected (running into the limit of five consecutive), and there might be some differences in the host granting requests depending on which devices are connected to which ports.
As for recommendations - I can't fine it right now, but I remember using an unpowered hub sold by Targus. It was 4 port, but I liked that it had three side-by-side ports along with a single port at the end. The single one was ideal for non-standard sized USB devices like some really wide USB flash drives. I never really assume that the label corresponds to the manufacturer, since there are a host of lookalike hubs which are made by one company and relabelled by others.
One thing that irks me about all MacBook designs is because of the 13" screen they've placed the USB ports really close to each other. It makes it impossible to use a standard sized plug along with something like a USB flash drive. My older iBook had the USB ports spaced maybe 3 mm further apart, which was enough room to insert a SanDisk Cruzer micro.

Please recommend best quad i7 & intel mb for PP cs5.5

Please recommend best quad i7 & intel mb for PP cs5.5
Looking for best bang for the buck. 6 sata drive connectors, usb3 also.
doing mostly avchd. Utilizing software 2 drive raid0. Win 7 64bit. I usually convert my avchd footage to more editable formats before i edit them.

Steve,
I assume that you already have a single non-RAID OS disk in addition to the 2-disk aid0. If that's the case, I'd strongly recommend two additional disks and create a second aid0 array.
If on the other hand the 2-disk aid0 are the only disks that you have (and used for absolutely everything including the OS and programs), then get at least three more disks: One single non-RAID disk for the OS and programs plus two identical disks and create a second aid0 array with that pair.
With either of those configurations, if you are going to transcode AVCHD to a format with an intermediate codec, then you can get away with the "Budget" quad-core i5 system (however, I would change the 192-core GTX 550 Ti to a 336-core non-Ti GTX 560 since the prices for those two right now are closer together than the differences in performance between them). But if you're going to edit AVCHD directly in Premiere Pro CS5.5, you will need at least the "Economical" (i7-2600(K)) system in order to edit smoothly.
Oh, I see that you are actually looking for an i7. In this case, then, unless you are willing to spend at least $1,000 just for the CPU and mobo, the only current choices would be in LGA 1155: the i7-2600, 2600K and 2700K. The non-K CPU is limited-overclockable (meaning that you'll get only 3.9GHz out of that CPU maximum) while the other two can be overclocked further (to 4.4GHz and up with most chips). The i7-3820 isn't on reseller shelves yet, but from what I read it should perform on a par with a slightly overclocked i7-2600K.
For the motherboard, I'd recommend a Z68 board from Asus, MSI or Gigabyte. (Or, if you choose the i7-3820 when it begins shipping to resellers, your only feasible choices would be an X79 / LGA 2011 mobo from Asus or Intel since the X79 boards from Gigabyte suffer from quality issues with the VRMs used on those boards.) Keep in mind, however, that the lower-priced Z68 boards from the three brands are more difficult than pricier Z68 mobos to achieve a high stable overclock because the budget boards often lack manual CPU core voltage adjustments per se (they have only voltage offsets instead). Pricier Z68 mobos have fixed manual CPU voltage settings in addition to offsets.

Looking for new All in One. Is Officejet as good as Photosmart? Please recommend an All in One.

I have the HP Photosmart C7180 All in One that's a few years old and is starting to give me a lot of errors (mostly ink level errors). I'm thinking about replacing it, because I want one that doesn't use as much ink -- and one that has a bigger scanner bed (at least 11 x 14 or bigger). I'm a budding artist and I want to have the ability to scan in my drawings.
However, I do print a few photos now and then. Does anyone know if Officejets will print decent pictures?
Please recommend an All in One (the newer the better) for my needs.

Thanks! It sounds like a potential nightmare. Does
anyone have a different experience? I'm not
committed to an all-in-one, but it does save space.
If you're willing to take time and effort into the process, HP's MFDs and Brother's MFDs work... mostly. HP has even improved their drivers. It took 'em long enough.
No, I repeat, no MFD I've ever seen has been trouble-free, Mac or Windows. That includes Epson, Canon, HP, Brother, and (ugggh!) Lexmark devices. They all give problems. Not necessarily the same problems, but problems. HPs and Brothers give the least trouble with Epson a close third... but YMMV. I know people who swear by Canon, while in my personal experience Canon devices have been... not so good. But it was a limited sample, and maybe I had lemons.
Most MFDs (that is, everyone but Brother) don't easily do networking unless it's a Specific Feature™. My HP PSC1350, for instance, does not believe that such a thing as a network exists, and is that way if connected to Macs or Windows machines. I can make it visible over the network, but it's a pain.
If you want wireless network printing, get a wireless router (hint: Apple sells something called an AirPort Base Station) or access point which has a USB port and supports putting printers on the network. Note that you'll likely not be able to scan over the network.
There are network MFDs; HP makes some. They're expensive. The OfficeJet 74xx is $500, and it's the cheap HP network MFD. I do NOT own one, so I have no idea how well they work, other than they're HPs... which means that the hardware will probably be excellent, and the software dreck.

Please recommend a tool for stress-testing ?

Could anyone please recommend a (free) tool to do multi-threaded stress-test, on plain java classes ?
In more detail: I'd like to do unit-test for some plain java methods (only mathematical calculations. No web interface, no swing).
The emphasis is stress test: i need to launch multiple threads, all of them repeately invoking my method. Under these conditions, I need to report correctness (has the method yielded the expected return value), and statistics on response time.
Any recommendations would be appreciated . Thanks !

SAX sounds good for building object trees from XML, but there are several XML mapping libraries out there (try google).

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks). It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch.
A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta. I switched to iBank. I used it for more than a year. It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works". I found ONE feature that I liked: you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back. I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view. Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction). No such help in iBank. Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank. I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either. The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account. (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25 yielded $2,250,000.) Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank. I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

HT202807 I have a MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.3.3 Photos. Please recommend an external drive best for connecting to TC and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD

I have a 13" mid 2011 MB Air 128gb and a Time Cap.802.11AC. My HD is maxed out because of 30GB of photo storage after migration to 10.10.3 Photos. I have reduced apps and files as much as possible so the only thing left is to move the photos. Please recommend an external drive compatible for connecting to my TC 802.11ac and moving the iPhoto Lib off my HD which will free approx 15 gbs. of space. I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice. I know the "optimization" is supposed to adjust for this condition but I don't trust that assertion.I only have 2gb free space remaining.

I don't plan on using it for any other purpose so a small capacity drive will suffice.
If you really only want such a small capacity drive.. what about just buying a 32GB or 64GB USB memory stick.
You should still have a back up to the internal hard disk of the AC TC.
Or just buy a WD Passport.. don't waste your money buying 500GB as it is only a bit more to buy 1TB and a bit more again for 2TB.. For future use if you do buy a USB hard disk buy 2.5" type.. and buy 1TB or if the budget stretches 2TB..

I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good.

I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good. Though as Mac has 2.0 is this fast enough? I am a basic user, surfing only.

If you plan on using the WD with the Mac after the iTunes transfer I would strongly recommend against WD. WD external HD's tend to be the most troublesome with Macs. If you intend to use the drive for backup using Time Machine or creating a bootable clone then I'd recommend a higher quality drive than WD. The drives I'd recommend in that case would be:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
G-Tech G-DRIVE series
These are all high quality drives and enclosures with similar features. Personally I use the LaCie's however I would be happy to have OWC and G-Tech on my desk too. FWIW I've been using the LaCie's for 4 years and have 4 of them, all work perfectly and have never given me any trouble.
You also my find this article helpful: Move an iTunes library from a PC to Mac (and back)
