Quest for a good Terminal app

Hi
I've recently switched to using Openbox on Arch, and I've searched far and wide and haven't been able to find a terminal app that follows these requirements:
(1) does not import half of gnome or KDE
(2) capable of using true transparency
(3) handles copy/paste sensibly
The closest I can find is urxvt (rxvt-unicode) which is lightweight, can handle true transparency, but has insanely irritating copy/paste features: it will tend to decide to paste any text-string that may have come up at some point since I originally copied something (i.e. if I click on firefox's url-bar and the url gets highlighted, or if i hit alt-f2 and the previous command is highlighted), while pasting into any other app pastes what's in my clipboard, and indicated by my clipboard-program (parcellite).
Other popular choices such as aterm (I really like the tinting effect), xterm and terminator all seem to be unable to use true transparency, in spite of compositing being enabled.
Any suggestions?

Try the xfce terminal ('terminal'), it works well for me in openbox. Dependencies and other info:

Im looking for a good note app with pen for taking notes ( in english and german )during business trips. Can anyone help

I'm looking for a good note app with pen function for taking notes ( in English and German ) during business trips. Can anyone help?

Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.
Regards.

Quest for a good music phone

Hi there!
I have been a loyal user (and fan) of Nokia Symbian phones. currently i have two which is the Nokia X2 and the Nokia E5.
I use my X2 as a sort of back-up phone just in case my main phone (the E5) has started to bog down or my secondary phone (and Android phone) has stopped working, lost battery or if i sold it.
Now, i always thought the X-series have been very good when it comes to sound and audio. but what i'm looking for is a normal candybar or QWERTY phone that i can use as a backup phone to listen to my MP3 files - one that has similar EQ & audio boost (and stereo widening) features of some of the Symbian phones out there.
Any suggestions guys?

Hi gino_76ph,
You can compare different Nokia phone models and their features on Nokia developer website. Just follow the link below:
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/?filter1=all
Audio player features can be found under multimedia section, with differences highlighted.
Hope this helps,

The quest for a good multi-source video workflow

I frequently have to mix together several sources, and the Multi-Camera Source Sequence in Premiere Pro should in theory be the best way to go.
However, it's seriously underdeveloped and for a single camera with separate audio, I end up doing a sequence instead.
Mix and scrub audio in Audition, tag and comment source video in Prelude, import both to Premiere Pro and put them together on a sequence so I can use that sewuence as a source for other sequences.
Why don't I use a multi-camera sequence? Because you have to tag syncronization points before you put everything together, because audio and video is often recorded out of sync, with several video recordings per audio recording etcetera. It ends up a mess. We don't live in an ideal world, and not wanting to waste time (and make the talent lose focus) organizing things, recording happens pretty much on the fly with all that includes in differing methods, ideals and so on. We need to know how to cut resources (and this includes not using the most exåensive editing tools) but there's always room for improvements.
I like to slap everything loosely together post-production and fine-sync on audio waves on the run, but this means you can adjust the multi-camera source sequence after you have put it together.
This isn't possible in Premiere Pro, at least not without putting it into a sequrnce first and that's the next step you want to do after all the syncronizing is done, not something you want to while cutting up the sources in a sequence.
I believe most of what I need for this is already programmed but it's mostly a matter of politics. Just please understand, synchronizing and preparing sources is different from working with a sequence, but it can be a substantial piece of work on it's own and it's not enough to just put it together in a menu and think that's all fine. (And not by far at that.)
What I need is to be able to edit a multi-camera source sewuence on a timeline like I would edit any other sequence. And call it a multi-source sequence, it isn't just video.
Then audio from different sources can be mixed together on the timeline like you do in a sequence, expoerted to audition as a multi-track session for more advanced audio processing (and no, single tracks aren't enough, I often need the real-time effects in audition not just the processing of whole tracks. And I mix together several audio sources, both mono and stereo tracks some from cameras but mostly from a separate, 24-bit audio recorder with inputs from hand or tie mics, environment and perhaps a gun with a boom. (I'm the audio guy with perhaps a camera on the side, others handle the main camera(s).
And video from several cameras can be put together, one track per camera on a timeline and not just one clip per track, one camera can have several clips taken on a timeline.
Then, when all this is put together it can be used as a source, like we use a multi-camera sequence today.
I believe it's possible, and would increase the value of your offers. If this isn't done, I may end up looking for other software.

Looking for a good GTD app for both Mac and Windows

I have looked around the internet quite a bit and haven't found anything that looks promising. Lots of great Mac-only task management/Get Things Done (GTD) software, but I need something that will also work with Windows. Any Suggestions?

Look at Google apps. calendar and mail and text and spreadsheet

Looking for a good alarm app that plays my songs

I was never a fan alarm clocks, the awful alarms they sounds are certainly no way to start the day. My CD radio alarm clock is slowly starting to pack in and I figure my iPhone4 can do the same thing. Can anyone recommend an alarm app that randomly picks music from my library and plays it back until I make it stop? There seem to be pretty decent ones like iHome but as I understand it you pick what it plays - I quickly take a disliking to songs that wake me up too often and manually changing the playlist is a bit of a hassle.

Because of the way iOS works, any alarm app other than the built in one will have to be running in the foreground to do what you want. Though I am extremely fond of the WaveAlarm display (it's currently my alarm app of choice) and the developer is extremely responsive, Alarmed might better suit your needs. It has both wake up and sleep options. So, you could set your podcast playlist to go to sleep by and then an alarm to wake you up in the same app. That way, keeping it in the foreground shouldn't be as much of a problem. The UI isn't nearly as slick as Wave Alarm but it's a great, feature packed program.

Keychain is built into iOS and is a good option: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813
I'm using LastPass because it supports more platforms but also because it was available before Keychain on iOS devices and I'm used to it. May switch at some point.

What is a good GPS app for iPad?

I just got a new 3G iPad and am searching for a good GPS app that I can use without a data connection. I really don't want to spend mega money just to try out different apps. Thanks!

I bought CoPilot Live HD for my iPad 3GS about 2 weeks ago. Overall, I would consider this to be a very good navigation app. I've found some quirks with it but I would give it 4 of 5 stars.
This app works either standalone or with a WiFi or 3G mobile connection (via AT&T) but I have had no reason to use the 3G connection as yet. It is only really needed for CoPilot's "Live" (that is, real-time info) feature. We have been traveling around Alaska for the past month and have given CoPilot a very thorough workout. Among the quirks we've encountered are:
* Inability to retain/restore app data when doing a reinstall.
* Difficulties creating and updating user-entered points of interest.
* Difficulties using the "Save Current Location" feature.
* Difficulties using the "Enter Location By Coordinates" feature.
* Some features of CoPilot not available in iPad and iPhone version.
None of these was a deal-breaker by any means. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who travels a lot and needs a reliable navigation aid.

Anyone find a good looking Terminal app for retina MBPs?

When I compare the appearance of Terminal fonts on the rMBP to non-retina MBPs or the MBA I actually prefer the look on the latter, because retina scaling means the display is always doing the equivalent of anti-aliasing the fonts. This makes the resulting fonts fatter and bolder on retina displays, actually making the text somewhat fuzzier and more difficult to read than the razor-sharp display of Terminal windows on non-retina displays.
Has anyone found a way around this, or is fat "bold"-looking Terminal window text just a necessary consequence of the retina display drivers not mapping one font pixel to one on-screen dot at anything other than (non-Apple supported) 1:1 resolution?
Here's what I mean by razor sharp non-retina Terminal display, taken from a 13" MBA:
Simulated retina looking Terminal window generated by anti-aliasing:
Is iTerm2 any better at this?

To answer my own question, it appears iTerm2 is capable of producing nice, sharp Terminal window text when antialiasing is shut off where toggling it seems to have no apparent effect in OS X's Terminal.app. :(

Wow, that' s awesome, I encountered the same problem with ya today when trying implement Pickers in Tabbar, and can't figure out why, the debugger just throw back such vague message and guess what ? I spent like 3 hours banging my head against the wall wonder why it's not working, I using XCode 2.2.1, my debugger wont work ( program won't stop at break points for what ever I tried ), and not very friendly with those newbie like me - really don't know where are all the Apple's software developer 1337 ? As I remembered, all the good ones goes for the hardware, "the rest" goes for the software =)), but thanks again, thanks, and again, click the tab bar, set both the class and nib file would get rid of the errors, if it would help some one, the credit goes to the two above, say thanks to them, like me. Have a nice day guys, I 'ma happy .

New to Mac and I am looking for a good app to process labels for envelopes. Used to use the Printmaster program on the PC side. Wondering if "Pages" Iis the correct program to buy of is there another option. Thank you.

New to Mac and used to use a program called print master for making all kinds of labels etc. I am looking for a good app to do the same. I was wondering if the Pages app was the right choice to do the labels etc. I understand that pages I'd a word processing app but I was unable to tell if it could do what I was looking for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The Contacts application will print envelopes and is already on your iMac. See this Apple article for information on how to do it.
Best of luck.
