The Best 21-inch Monitors Ever check it out

I recently had 4x 19 inch fat monitors
2 for the mac and 2 for the pc
I was losing too much space, but i couldn't afford the apple monitors which only comes in 20-inch, 23-inch, then all the way to 30-inch
then I figured i might as well find me a monitor which is not too big yet too small with 2 video input to support both the mac and the pc
thats when this came in
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4087798
the price was crazy plus it has two input for MAC and PC with two USB inputs headphone out and speakers (not needed that much for some people but for me that means i can listen to my built-in-audio through it and have logic and itune run through my interface
Questions is why do you need two input fro both mac and pc?
well before each time i had to work on the pc i had to move my chair and work with another 2 monitors, then after i finish i had to move back to my other 2 monitors for the mac
all 4 monitors were 19 inch old monitors so you can see how much space it took
with this 2x21-inch LCD all i need to do is push a button and it switches to pc, then push the button again then back to mac
1: i have bigger 2 monitors now
2: Its an LCD and requires less space than the old 19-inch
3: it has speakers for built-in-audio plus it has 2xUSB and head phone out
4: its silver just the the G5 and my other studio stuff so it doesn't stand out too much
5: its cheap
so guys think about it
stash
always looking out for y'all

Thanks Jonh
but i already had that for the mouse and keyboard
main problem was
I wanted to me able to switch the screens like this
Monitor 1= Mac
monitor 2-PC
or
Monitor 1= PC
monitor 2= Mac
or
Both Monitors = Mac
Both Monitors = PC
and i need all the mac to use Dvi and the PC to use the VGA
and solve all this problem with this screen
no extra boxes for switching and speakers and 2x UBS hub on each screen
thats something that the 19-inch didn't have
anyway just like to share it with others thats all

What are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone

what are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone?

You could simply log into your child's email with the password that the two of you agree upon, and monitor the emails manually. As for the texts, you could purchase a separate device, and use the child's Apple ID to monitor the iMessages. For SMS/MMS, no way to monitor it. You'll have to use the app called 'Random Parental Inspections'.

What is the best way of monitoring HD content in FCP?

I hope to get the Mac Pro listed below, What is the best way of monitoring my HD edit from FCP?
Can I output to a HDTV, or is a computer monitor better?
Do I need a capture card to output the signal, or is my below system adequate? i don't need one for capturing as i have will be using a Panasonic AG-HVX200 with P2 card, Can i use this camera to output to a TV/Monitor?

Well, given your situation, the best option is the Matrox MXO and Apple Cinema Display. I have a full review here as to why it is a good solution.
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/ross_shane/MXO.php
This will cost you $995 for the MXO, and $900 for the Apple display. So under $2k. The other options are more expensive. Broadcast quality HD LCDs start at $3500. And other capture cards range from $295 (decklink Intensity) to $3500 (AJA and Decklink). And HDTV will still require a capture card, like the Intensity with HDMI out, but won't be suitable for broadcast quality. It will, however, be perfectly fine for seeing what your HD footage looks like on an HD set that most people will have in their homes. So I take back my initial statement and say that if you have a tower, the Intensity and HDTV is your best option...if you aren't needing full broadcast quality. If you just need to see what it looks like.

What is the best way to monitor taffic across a Campus?

I am trying to find the best way/ways to monitor traffic across a campus network. The two solutions I have thought of are using Netflow or ERSPAN. However, neither are supported by the devices in this network. Here is a quick overview of the network...
Core Switches (3750 Stacks) using Layer 3
|
Distribution Switches (3750 & 3650s) using L3 towards Core and L2 towards Access
|
Access Switches (Mostly 3500s) using L2
What are the best options for monitoring traffic on this type of network? All links between switches are Gig, so we have plenty of bandwidth. I would really like to be able to setup snort/ntop or something similar.
Are there any solutions available that I could use RSPAN and a monitoring computer at the Access Switches and have them report back to a central monitoring machine? I would prefer a centralized solution.
Thanks,
Garrett

Hello Garrett
Each monitoring software has its own limitations/specifications..
If you want to monitor traffic/protocols running on ur network, on a constant basis, you will have to use Netflow.. You can use a simple netflow collector, and collect reports, and analyze the application traffic on your LAN/WAN.. Not sure if this will help too much in troubleshooting, since this will be more used for trending your applications. You can probably discover new applications, which arent used much on your network, using this..
But for real troubleshooting, you will need something like a syslog server.. u can configure logging levels and push important errors/updates from the cisco gear to this box. In case your box goes down, or has issues, system log messages will be dumped to this server and will be a very useful device for troubleshooting... eg, kiwi cat, solarwinds, 3cdaemon, and lots of other freewares...
I would ideally have both these components on my network, for trending and troubleshooting..
apart from this, if you have other advance technology products, like wireless, application accelaration etc, there are other network management solutions available..
Hope this helps.. All the best.. rate replies if found useful

What is the best program or way to check an image on monitor screen (contrast/color etc)

Hi,
In ACR I adjust the image so that it looks OK for me.
But there are a little differences in ACR and PS viewing the image (color, contrast etc).
In programs like windows foto-viewer there is an other difference (relative to ACR and PS) >> images have more contrast and darker than viewing in PS.
An other program Irfanview shows the image with less color (saturisation).
I have made a test print (in a photo centre), that image results in something between Irfanview and PS.
Question:
What is the best program or way to adjust the color / contrast etc so that I get an photo-image (on paper) that is the same as what I see on mij monitor screen.

THANKS! STATION_TWO for the "over-correct-answer" you give................
If I'm honest, the answer of Richard was for me enough to realize where I made a "wrong inference" in understanding color management.
He is for me the best teacher in this case, I've learned something from him because he's talking on my level.
By the way: the english language is not my native language... so my questions should have to be read with understanding of grammatical expressions from other languages >> ("The color management is know by me…").
Again: Richard, in this case, read my question properly and has helped me on my way.

Which is the best 15 Inch Macbook Pro choice for me?

So I am a currently attending college and studying at the moment CIM (Computer Information Management). I work a lot on my computer either on school work, personal projects, and some minor freelance work. I use a lot of Adobe CS4 software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Flash and Dreamweaver. But I am going to want to get into studying more 3D software products as well. Such as Z-Brush, Maya and what ever 3D software is the best and easiest to use. I can look into that later. But here is the deal. I know what ever choice I make, regarding any MacBook product. It's an upgrade from the laptop I am currently using. I am not dying for the need of a new computer. But with the study and field I want to get into. I definitely need it pretty soon. So my help/question in request is:
Which Macbook Pro (15in/ if 13in will hit it right on the mark of requirements) I should get.
Alright so I am currently running this:
Windows 7
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86GHz 1.87GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 3.00GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System
I do have some what of a total budget. Which is: 2,450. That is the Online cost for the Macbook Pro 15in - 2.66GHz Intel Core i7 w/ the Apple are protection plan. (Student discount applied)
That leaves a huge hit on my wallet for a bit. So 2,000 would work best. But I don't mind taking the risk since Macbook Pros were recently updated and MacBook Pro products are a lot more longer lasting.
I would love to hear from as many people as possible. The more lamest terms the better. Any information would help. I know the battery life info and such. I have a few External Hard drives. So I don't have an issue with space. But if you have any more question that might be able to help you give me more information to help me make the right choice by all means.
I'd prefer less answers saying. i7 cause its better and will last you for a while anyways. More in depth reason would help. If not just your input on which works best.

Personally, I would say go for the 2.4 GHz 15-inch model to drop the price so you can then upgrade the RAM to 8 gb or/and to an SSD. Apple's processing speed differences of 2.4/2.53/2.66 are insignificant, and the only reason I see of going to the i7 model is because of a small boost in the graphics cache (512mb) for gaming.
It all really depends on 2 things:
1) how many and how huge of programs you like to run at once
2) how much space you need on your computer for data
If you run a lot of programs at once or use larger programs like Final Cut, an upgrade to 8gb of RAM will make your computer much faster. A .13 GHz increase in speed won't do anything except cause the program you're using at the moment to possibly work more quickly. RAM is crucial for an abundance of work. It is also more expensive to add 4 gb though...
On the data note, I prefer using an external hard drive to not only backup my files but to also use it as a hard drive. For example, I keep what I need to use at the moment (like current videos i'm editing) on the computer and keep the stuff I won't use for weeks or stuff I'll probably never use again on the external drive. It keeps my computer from having 100s of gigabytes of info on it...easier to manage the computer and its contents. Even being someone who does a lot of video editing, a 128 gb SSD is the perfect size for me if not more than enough. Bonuses of the SSD: faster read/write, no mechanical parts such as spinning dics, silent. The HD that comes standard is really the only thing that makes noise on a computer aside from the cooling. Once again though, SSD is a more expensive upgrade.
As always, it's personal opinion and up to you man!
If you'd like to keep it at 2000, go for the 2.4 GHz model (1699 with student discount I think), and use the 300 for whatever you'd like to add on, whether it be the care plan or what I've mentioned. This might sound complicated, but if you do decide to buy the SSD, then consider the 2.53 GHz model because it only costs 60 more than the SSD on the 2.4 model. You get an extra 50 off with the student discount AND the SSD upgrade is cheaper because your base memory is different.
Good luck!

5 Major Problems, yet still the best computer I've ever used.

I was an early adopter of the Macbook. I got it the first day it came out and started using it immediately for school @ The University of Texas at Austin. I've gone through about 300 charge cycles and I think the computer is approx.. 13 months old. I really hope that this computer will last for the rest of my undergraduate career, but we'll see what happens. From the start, it had the faint "moo-ing" noise which I lived with until after 3 months of owning my computer when it started shutting down randomly. I sent it in to applecare for about 2 weeks and got it back good as new. Then, there was some discoloration on the palm-rests, and I got that fixed as well. Then after 9 months my hard-drive crashed and I lost everything that I had because I didn't back anything up, idiotically. After 11 months, the screen started flickering and the display inverter had to be fixed as well. All in all, I paid $0 for all of these repairs. Some people might say that I paid in sweat and tears over the time I was away from my data, and the time that I lost all of it. However, I don't think that I could have made a better investment in my education, it has truly been a great experience switching to Mac...sans a couple of minor details.
-Ryan
P.S. - I don't know why I wrote this post, I just know that a lot of students like myself are purchasing new computers for school. I hope I didn't scare anybody off, and I'm sure that most of these "problems" have been fixed in the later generations. I just wanted to tell my story and hopefully give some people trust that apple takes care of its customers, and that Mac really is the best computer in the world.
You can leave your own stories if you would like, I think that would be a cool running thread.
White Macbook 2.0 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) Week 21

Distro_1,
Windows PC. I can laugh about it now, but, my pc ended up infested with a virus that no virus software was able to locate until it was much much too late...in the process, it destroyed all of the info on my secondary hard drive as well....200gb of lost photos, music, movies etc. I have yet to bring that hard drive to a technician because I am scared to hear that it could all possibly be lost forever. Music and movies I can replace, photos, I cannot. Thankfully, I had backed many of them up or sent copies to friends and family. Also, I uploaded many pics to photo sites. There were however, dozens that were not I've been really busy over the past few months and was unable to do so. BTW, the PC is just over 2 months old. Anyway, the moral of the story is that I am hoping that these problems will not be nearly as big an issue with Mac. I want to be able to leave my computer for an hour or two unattended without worrying about losing everything. I hope that's not too much to ask.

What's the best way to monitor rMBP temperature

I have istat, Ultra Fans, SMC Fan control and xscan. Not a single one of them consistently reports the same termperature. I'm at a loss to understand why I bother with any of them as all appear to report differnetly. Is there a better alternative within the OS? Surely Apple has a builtin method of monitoring termperature.

Temperature Monitor provides a view of all sensors and can be adjusted to display the specific sensors you wish to monitor. Istat, Ultra fan and SMC source data from specific sensors but not always the same sensor. Once I instralled Temperature Monitor it became apparent each of the programs was gathering data from potentially different sensors. While I was originally frustrated and belieiving the programs were reporting incorrect information they were in fact accurately reporting the sensor information they were accessing. The beauty of Temperature Monitor is it gives you a view of all sensors.

The Best iPhone case I ever gotten

click this link
http://blog.monkeykit.com/2007/09/14/review-eco-iphone-shield-by-agent-18/
I have bought alot of cases for the iphone and this one is the best and the most secure and it protects the silver lining on the phone and it's eco friendly, I bought one in the apple store and all the employees love it too, any questions let me know.

I read the review and bought an Agent 18 case over the weekend.
Taking it back tomorrow.
I typically don't use cases for my hand held electronics. Aside from looking like a tool, it's redundant.
But the back of the iPhone is so slick... I'm afraid my cat could easily knock it off the table if she were feeling frisky.
When I bought the 'phone on June 29, I also picked up an Incase.
http://www.goincase.com/products/detail/protective-cover-cl59019
The case comes with instructions that recommend frequently removing the case to clean out dust as they can scratch the chrome. Fine. But frequent removing and reinstalling the case leaves things fitting less than snug. And leaving the case on will result in a very marred chrome ring on your 'phone.
So for now, I am still searching that perfect case: one that offers a snug, grippy fit without damaging the device. Anyone?

The best way to get 5.1 sound out of Mac Pro

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but could someone recommend me the best way to get 5.1 sound of a Mac Pro. Since I don't require hi-fi -level sound, just simple directional audio for gaming and such, I wouldn't like to pour a lot of money to this. As I see it, I'd need an external sound card, internal PCI-E soundcard or speakers that have an optical input. I would like for the cost to be in two digits, euro or dollar.
Any suggestions about hardware?

Once again, the issue of 5.1 w/Apple comes up.
Here is the bottom line.
You will only get 5.1 audio if the following conditions are true:
- You are using the OPTICAL output on your Mac
- You are playing a DVD with a 5.1 soundtrack
That's it. The simple truth is, that even if you have a Z-5500 setup (like I do), you still will not get 5.1 surround in ///any/// applications other then while playing a DVD.
There is no way to get 5.1 out of a game on a Mac Pro. No matter how much money you throw at it. The support simply is not there. It is not a software issue, it is not a driver issue. It is the game developer's issue (sort of), and it is a //lack of hardware// issue.
The complex truth, and I will attempt to explain, isn't that simple.
Your Mac Pro or Macbook only has a single line-out, that supports 2 channels at the maximum. Optical audio will only handle 2 channels as well- it's the same signal (in two channels) on a different medium, basically.
All PC soundcards that support proper 5.1 (save for a select few) have //multiple// line-out jacks for Front Left/Right, Center/Sub, and Rear Left/Right (3 plugs total for 5.1). Since your Mac/Mac Pro doesn't have this, you can't hook up a 5.1 speaker set and expect true 5.1.
You do have optical audio, however, this only works in 5.1 when a Dolby Digital signal is piped through the optical cable.
Dolby Digital works by encoding a 5.1 signal as a data stream, sending it to a receiver, where it is decoded and played back as 5.1 stereo. DVD's have this audio pre-encoded on the disk.
If you wanted 5.1 output from your games, they'd need to ether have the sound/audio data encoded as Dolby 5.1, or support encoding on the fly to take a 5.1 signal, encode it, and pipe it out the optical audio plug. Xbox360 does this, because they've licensed the technology from Dolby- as have the game developers.
Unfortunately, none of the developers for Macintosh gaming have yet to include live Dolby 5.1 encoding (I think Doom 3 had a beta patch that did- I could be wrong).
If the game doesn't support the above feature, then you only get basic 2 channel audio.
*Do not buy a Fireface 800.*
This is a professional audio interface (like an external soundcard). While it supports 5.1 output via 6 individual outputs, you need SPEAKERS that have +built in amplifiers+ (called a Studio Monitor). Not just one amplifier- all the speakers have it built in and take a balanced stereo input.
You're looking at $1300 for the Fireface 800, and another $200 per speaker. This is not cheap, is not meant for gaming, and is not consumer grade equipment. It's pro audio, designed for Logic 8 and similar.
Even if you did spend the money, trust me, I'd know... I have a 5.1 setup running through an Apogee Ensemble (a $2000 "soundcard"), and I do not get 5.1 support from Quake 4, C&C 3, or any other game. I only get 5.1 surround from my audio production in Logic 8.
To recap, since this has been asked many times- and I don't want you wasting your money here (just trying to be helpful!)...
*There is no simple or cost-efficient way to get 5.1 from your Mac, other then while playing a DVD movie.*
I would highly recommend that you buy a very good pair of 2.1 speakers with a Sub woofer. Maybe even a pair that takes an optical input for audio. If you really want to spend the money to *watch a DVD in surround sound,* then you can... And it'll work wonderfully, but gaming will not give you surround sound at all.
*Again- There are no games out that support 5.1. Just because you technically support Dolby 5.1, doesn't mean the applications are aware of it and can utilize the 5.1 surround.*
Edit: I may have neglected to also mention that the Firewave unit will support 5.1 properly through 3 separate plugs (much like a PC soundcard does), however the only game I am aware of that supports this is Unreal Tournament 2003 for Mac (or was it 04?), with an experimental patch for 5.1 via OpenAL. Last I heard, it worked okay, but crashed occasionally.
Most of the other games out there just don't support 5.1, period (probably due to the lack of hardware on the Mac computers from the factory).

What is the best way to produce different report types out of the same SSRS Report

So I have a request to produce different report types based on a "Line Of Business" Parameter that is provided. I know that SSRS sometimes struggles with gathering the Metadata based on IF Statements.
What is the best way to provide multiple different report types with different data based on the "Line Of Business" Parameter that is provided? Can I simply do this via the SQL Stored Procedure? And how so that the Metadata is collected correctly?
Just don't know what the generally accepted business principle is on this and how to go about doing it.
Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
Per my understanding that you have create an parameter (Line Of Businiess) to get diffetent types of report, I would like to confirm with you want do you mean about the different report types?
Is that mean you have table and one column named Report type, you want to filtered on this column? Or the report type you mean is like Parameterized reports,Linked reports,Snapshot reports,Subreports and so on.
If want you want is through the selection of the parameter to change the report type(Parameterized reports,Linked reports,Snapshot reports,Subreports ..),currently it is impossible to acheive this.
If you still have any problem, please try to provide more details information about your reqirements, the sampe data in the table, the report structure you have designed and so on.
Any problem, please feel free to ask.
Regards,
Vicky Liu

Is The Best Way To Update OS to "Zero Out" eMac Hard Drive?

Ok, so I've got the OEM Apple eMac Tiger installation discs and
will be updating to Tiger 10.4+ in the next week or so.
Here's my question: Is it better to "Zero" out the eMac Hard Drive
(using the Apple installer/utility disc), or better to just proceed
with the Tiger installation and select for my previous Apple OS 10.2.8
to be automatically "archived" during the Tiger installation?
I would assume that the "Zeroing out" process would be the best, even though
the actual process of "Zeroing" the Hard Drive takes quite a long time.
Any suggestions on the best way to prepare the Hard Drive for the Tiger
installation would be appreciated.

What is the best imac temperature monitor program

24 inch iMac (OS X 10.6.8, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3)
The cooling fans do not appear to come on, ever. BUT the other day after a shut down (normally leave the unit sleeping) the fan (or fans) came on apparently a full speed. At the next wake-up the fan did not come on. Did shut-down and and the fans did not work at the power up. I have always though that this unit has run hot, has never had any air flow and the top is always very warm.
What can I do to make the fans operate (settings ?) 2. are there programs that can monitor internal iMac temps.
thanks

Be wary of cnet downloads page links, as there are several there which
DO NOT get you the software you seek, and can instead load adware or
other malware; you can check the outdated version iStat Pro version is
no longer available from the maker directly, over a year ago.
There are a few relatively safe/r mirror sites available that appear to have
the original size file that can get you a clean (as of earlier this year) copy.
While I checked this, six months ago, I didn't save the link because I have
an original copy in archive as .zip from the maker's site two years ago. And
then again, in the Lounge discussions I checked into this topic again:
A link I found in August 2014 that appears to have provided me a clean
iStat Pro v. 4.92 download (1MB zip) still works at this mirror...
http://mac.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/istat_pro,1.html
{Test the size of the file, what downloads and opens, to be sure that's all it is.}
PS: the ifixit.com site may have a repair guide that could be helpful in
cleaning dust out of the cooling fan; however the fan may be defective.
Good luck & hopefully your download won't include spigot or other adware.
