Questions for a soon to be owner.

I'm waiting for my HP Sprout to ship but had some questions.
Is the mat used as a mouse for scrolling and cursor without a actual keyboard and mouse?
Does all metro apps work on the mat such as Netflix being played on mat?
Can you have two metro apps playing at the same time on the mat such as maps app and a calculator app?
Is the resolution very clear on the mat?
Is it really buggy like many say it is?

Most of your questions have been answered by others but I'll chime in a bit. I do work for HP but not on the Sprout product family. Maybe someday... My opinions below are my own.
My Sprout arrived on Dec 24th and we opened the box as a family on Dec 25th. Setup was quite easy. My college age non technical daughter did all the work. Overall the process went quite well. She did have to apply all the relevant updates to the Sprout software and services after starting up. Once the unit was fully setup, its been quite solid thus far. I write software for a living so ultimately this was the reason for making the purchase. The capabilities of the mat with respect to user input / controls for me is quite exciting.
One unexpectyed thing the Sprout changed for me was how I process paper documents, id cards, paper receipts etc. In the past several years I had made a switch away from my old flatbed scanner to using a mobile device. Rather than laboring away with the scanner, I started to use the mobile device to take a photo of the document after which I'd need to edit the photo, upload to dropbox and/or email the photo to myself. Finally I'd need to store the photo in some other part of the system for later use. While the quality was good sometimes brightness and shadows were an issue. In effect the mobile device's camera had replaced my scanner. While effective the process was still cumbersome.
Its so much more intuitive to scan the document using the Sprout's mat and camera system and then instantly crop. No more having to sync the photo, find the photo of the document in some cloud service, perhaps apply further editing, and then scrub it from some other companies storage.
The capabilities of the Sprout make it so much simpler to complete this work. Copies of the medical cards to send off to the kids off at college, filing off important purchase receipts, capturing award certificates, completing insurance submissions and health care reimbursement requests all became much simpler on the Sprout. I no longer use the mobile device to capture this content.
Enjoy your new Sprout!!! You'll probably find other creative ways to use the device that you had not initially thought of.

Question for MSI NX8600GTS-T2D256E-OC owners...

I bought this card and it was defective. I'm about to return it, but I need to make sure to put all the stuff it came with back into the box. I know I've got all the cables, and CDROM, but I think I may have thrown away some of the packing materials. Could someone who has this card please post a list of everything including pieces of cardboard and static bags that came in the box with your card? Or better yet, post (a) picture(s)? I would really appreciate it.

Well bags don't matter too much. Static bag is a must however.
This is the bundle for your card: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1194&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=136 - Look at the bottom of the page.

Question for C6-01 owners

Hello. I just received shipment of a C6-01 from Nokia. I like it... build feels good, it seems as good as all the Nokia phones I've had before. But I have a question for those who have the C6-01. When you look at the camera on the back of the phone, is the LED flash mounted at a slightly different angle than the camera lens? On this new phone it looks like the flash is on slightly different plane. If you would look at your phone and tell me if this is consistent I would appreciate it... I want to make sure this one's not damaged.

Hard to show in pic... hopefully you'll get the idea.

Question for S10-3t owners

Hi Folks,
I'm seriously considering purchasing an S10-3t, but I have a question for you.
Is there a reason everyone is choosing the low-end model?
I'm looking at the one with 2 GB, faster processor, larger hard drive, Windows 7HP, Bluetooth.
I've priced it out and it is about $110 more than the best price I've seen for the low end model ($399). It seems like the price difference is probably worth it.
Note: I am pricing it out with and additional 8 cell battery to go with the 4 cell it comes with, and there is currently a 15% off promotion until June 3
Faster processor: $10?
Extra memory: $30
Windows 7 HP upgrade: $80 (according to Microsoft)
Bluetooth: $15-30+ (Seems really handy for 3G tethering and/or external peripherals)
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

The following is from a post I put on the forum on March 17.   The prices shown is what the models cost at that time.
I originally bouth the S10-3T with the N450 chip and 8 cell battery from a retail store in US. I returned the unit to the store and opted for the S10-3T with N470 chip and 4 cell battery. Lenovo includes Windows Home Premium and Bluetooth.
I bought the 8 cell battery as I was not sure which I would prefer. The 4 cell battery is nice because its flush with unit. Its good for me during my daily commute. The 8 cell battery is definitely needed for long trips. The 8 cell sticks out and is personal choice if you like the added bulkiness.
Prior to returning the N450 model, I recorded the Windows Indexing results and ran Geekbench. For those deciding which model to purchase below is a benchmark and average price comparison of both machines.

Question for T20 owners regarding aux input

I'm hoping someone with T20s can answer a simple question for me. When you have two different sources plugged into the main input and the aux input, do you hear both mixed together? Or, does plugging in the aux "cut off" the main input? I've got two computers and I'd like to pipe both into just one set of speakers, and I've heard using reverse splitter adapters is a bad idea. All help is appreciated. Thanks! :-)

I'm not an audio expert but here goes. The aux does not cut off the primary input for the speaker, and you can hear both sources at once. (I have my laptop plugged into the rear and an MP3 player feeding the aux input)? I don't know that it's really a great idea since you could probably overload the speakers quickly if both sources are playing, even with transient spikes, but if you keep the volume reasonable, it probably may work fine. Best of luck.

I am having trouble answering my old security questions for my itunes account and it is creating a problem because I am not able to purchase apps/songs on my new IPAD. What phone number/email adress should I call to get a quick response to my issue?

I have recently bought an IPAD 2 for my girlfriend and have encountered a problem with purchasing apps through my itunes account. It is requesting that I not only enter my pasword (which I know) but answer my old account questions, which I have forgotten the answers to. It had since locked me out of changing my questions for eight hours. Is there any number I can call to prove that I am the real owner of my itunes account so my girlfriend will be able to use her ipad to purchase new apps without having to go through the trouble of using one of my other apple devices? Random information: I believe my questions were set back in 2007 when I purchased my first ipod nano, since then I have used this same itunes account for my own ipod touch and ipad 2 and my girlfriends iphone 1st generation. I have never run into a problem regarding my questions before on any of these devices

Question for CL Forum Ad

I have been reading through this forum and there seems to be no shortage of upset customers. They all seems to be asking the same questions over and over again, and the only answer given is, "I'll post more information when I get it".
Now, I'm not a real tech savvy guy, but why is it not possible, to walk over to the desk of the head developer, and say, "Hey Steve, can you tell me why the new drivers are the same as the beta ones?"
And then walk back to your PC and type the answer here. I mean lets be honest, unless you are sending messages via snail mail, I don't understand why this is so hard to do. I suspect you HAVE the answers, but the big cheese at CL has told you to simply deflect the questions for now.
What I am trying to say is that by you saying you'll post information when you get it, does nothing but make your company look completely rag tag. It gives the impression that everyone just works part time from home, and they only meet every other Saturday for a softball game. There is no official statements from CL, you guys don't have any answers, no one knows when anything is being released or what it'll have in it...it just seems like the company is in shambles.
And this brings me to my second question. While you're slow to respond to questions about why things aren't working and such, but you are quicker than a fat man chasing a rolling donut down the street when someone advertises another brand, so my question is what do YOU recommend we do?
Can you suggest some solutions for all of the people who bought CL cards and have no working drivers? I would really appreciate if you didn't simply ignore, or skirt around this question.
I think it's time you threw us a bone here, if you're not going to give us any information, then at least give us some other alternati'ves.

Dude, honestly, I could care less what happened 0 years ago. I have said it before and I'll say it again for you, just because this type of thing keeps happening doesn't mean it's right.
When I buy a product from a company I don't do it thinking, "Hey, maybe if I buy this product then the $200 will help them become the best company in the world, and I don't care if it works or not, I just like the feeling of supporting companies in the hopes they'll do well!"
I buy products, and I expect them to work.
Regardless, if you had actually read my post, you would see that I'm not asking when the drivers will be out, or why they aren't... I am asking why this "world leader" in sound cards can't communicate effecti'vely with it's customers? I am asking why the Admins keep saying the same old mumbo jumbo, and expect us to buy that they can't actually just go talk to the people in charge.
I am also asking if they can't tell me that information, then help me find some alternati'ves.
So, why don't you paypal me a few hundred dollars for a new sound card. You seem to have no problem sitting there giving your sound card "high fi'ves" and talking to it in a sweet voice, "Don't worry little sound card, I know you have amazing potential, I won't give up on you!"
"Do you remember the old days of Windows 2000?" We then cut to a montage of you running through fields of flowers hugging your sound card and a copy of Windows 2000. You shake your fingers at them and say, "Not yet little guys, soon we'll all be together in harmony, we just have to wait!!"

Questions for BAS

Questions for BAS
New to this forum, but I am running three Athlon 64 Boards here. The Abit MAX3 the MSI NEO on the KT800 chipsets. Also running a Gigabyte Nforce 3 K8NPro.
You have stated in many posts that the CPU decides what memory it uses, well I have to raise a few points. I have two sticks of Kingston Hyper X with Winbond BH5 work in both the MSI and the Abit, Two sticks of Kingston Hyper X Winbond CH5 will only work in the Abit, not in the MSI, all sticks also work on the Gigabyte. That disproves your theory somewhat. Also Abits bios update has listed as improved memory compatibility, if that is the case, then it is obvious that they cannot change your processor so they must be changing board paameters, relating to timing or voltages. This is a confusing issue.
Regarding the PCI Lock, and that the FSB does not control the hypertransport or PCI clock, why would VIA be busy implementing this in the K8T880 if it had no effect, and why does the hard drive get corruption above 230 fsb if the clock is not changing, it does not happen on the Nforce150 chipset. Also Cool and Quiet works by manipulating the multiplier to change the processor frequency, this is a multiplication of the FSB, and CPU Z also is able to read correctly the FSB.I am not saying that what you say is incorrect, but I am trying to evaluate the situation here.
Some explanation would be welcome as I have not read this explanation anywhere else on the web, and no major hardware review site states this either. Lost Circuits has a pretty thorough review of the chipset and states issues with the PCI clock and hypertransport clock changing. If you use the Nvidia system Utility on the NForce 3 board it also reports the Hypertransport clock, and that is a direct association with the fsb and multiplier. Comments welcome. Also any idea when the voltage issue will be fixed regarding the Vcore, I know of a Beta bios but is it likely to be released soon. Strange thing is the Gigabyte board does almost the same thing, but will og to 1.55 just like the MSI will using windows to overclock.

Hi,
As for the memory controller, see this document:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/23932.pdf
As for the via chipset:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/k8-series/k8t800.jsp
Anyway, it's actually funny, as everyone has a different story....
And nobody tells exactly how it's done, not even AMD....
I just gave my best idea of how it works, as nobody seems to know exactly (or doesn't want to say) it's all guessing....
As Anantech has another idea as well:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1856&p=3
He say it's taking it from the HT bus.....and the FSB doesn't exists....
But my MSI manual states that it has an LDT transmitter clock, that controls HT and can only be set Auto, 200, 400, 600 or 800MHz...
So if anyone has a better idea of how it exactly works, please enlighten us all.....
One thing i'm 100% sure of, the memory is controlled by the CPU, not the board

Questions for Opinions and Ideas.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions for a few of you to respond.
1) What is the best site for keeping up to date on Java?
2) What is the best site for keeping up to date on technology?
3) What is the best site for news and events in general?
Search questions
1) I have been noticing that when I search on google I seem to get hits that are 3 or more years old? Has the internet become lack luster?
2) Is open source just another way for corporate to give away technology to another country and then outsource to them on pretense that they cannot find anything in the US?
3) Should all open source licenses be for American companies only?
Your answers and comment would be welcomed.

Rooting for them? I guess you didn't have stock in
enron or mci or delphi or maybe the 100's of other
companies that were backdating options or reporting
wrong results. You must also be one who is for
illegal immigrants? I can get more benefits being an
illegal immigrant than I can being an unemployed
white male (never been unemployed until now). I was
one of 3000 that got laid off due to outsourcing.
(company will remain anonymous) Their explanation
was, "They could not get enough technical resources
here in the US, so they were contracting to an
outsourcing company for the services". And so they likely lied. The predominate reason for outsourcing is that the company thinks that they can save money.
Very large companies often can "save" money because...
1. They have absolutely no process control and fail to deliver anything useful with the existing staff anyways. So they save money because it costs less to deliver nothing. (One large company I was aware of one time had a software development department which hadn't delivered anything in 18 months.)
2. They do have stringent process control and thus can deliver actual requirements that means something to the outsourced firm. Given their careful process control they are likely to have found an outsource company that can actually deliver what they promised. This sort of company is very rare.
Smaller companies will never succeed at this unless they have stringent process control as well. And failure here means that the company will be unlikely to survive.
Most companies that think they have process control do not in fact have it. Even with written requirements and written designs the actual product is often built via word of mouth requirements and products don't resemble the designs at all.
Presumably you can judge where your company fits into the above.
Before you
dismiss someone else make sure you think about the
question and why someone would ask. I wish I could
laugh with you.I worked at a company where they laid off 5% of the work force a week before they announced record profits. It had nothing to do with outsourcing.
I have been laid off from several places simply because they weren't making money. In several cases they never made any money. Nothing to do with outsourcing.
One company even had one of those money making ventures in place that involved phony offshore corporations doing phony sales. One of the owners of the company set that up. That had nothing to do with outsourcing either.
In all cases being a competent professional it took me very little time to find another job.

Is there anyway to change the security questions for your apple Id without using the email address as I've forgotten that as well -.-

This is kinda annoying :L I've recently bought a fifth gen iPod to replace my broken fourth and soon as I've gone to buy something it's asked me to provide security questions and since its been over 2 years I've forgotten both my questions/answers but also the email address used for back up is there someone I can contact or even a way round it ?

First try:
Can I change the answers to the security questions for my Apple ID?
Yes. You can change the answers to the security questions provided when you originally signed up for your Apple ID. Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your Apple ID. Sign in with your Apple ID name and password, go to the section Password and Security and click Reset your security information.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

I have a new email address and my old email keeps coming up on icloud when trying to update apps and i don't know the password or security questions for the old email. I can sign in with my apple id which is tied to another email but not itunes how to fix

I have an apple id and it has my current email attached to it. however when i go to update apps it's asking for the password for an old email. I no longer have the old email and can't use it. when I go to icloud on my ipad it asks for the password for old email. it doesn't allow me to change the old email to current. when i go to reset it i can't remember the password or security questions for the old email so it doesn't let me go any further. How do I fix this? Do i need to call apple support?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Can somebody give some real time questions for alv report

hi guru
can somebody give some real time questions for alv report.
answers also.

subhasis.

hi,
The ALV is a set of function modules and classes and their methods which are added to program code. Developers can use the functionality of the ALV in creating new reports, saving time which might otherwise have been spent on report enhancement
The common features of report are column    alignment, sorting, filtering, subtotals, totals etc. <b>To implement these, a lot of coding and logic is to be put. To avoid that we can use a concept called ABAP List Viewer (ALV).</b>
Using ALV, we can have three types of reports:
   1. Simple Report
   2. Block Report
   3. Hierarchical Sequential Report

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.
