U260 battery options in near future?

Anyone know or heard any rumors concerning the U260 getting a new battery? It looks SO sexy and I'm in the market for a new laptop but as a college student I can't rely on something that lasts for less than 4 hours when i'm on campus a good portion of the day...
do any current owners of the U260 report better battery life than 4 hours?

The battery in the u260 isn't like most batteries on the market today. They have a custom fitting battery inside of the laptop a lot like the kind Apple uses. There just simply isn't enough room in the laptop for more battery.

Flash no longer supported by adobe in near future?

Ls,
I am using the trial for flash cs5.5 and air.
2 questions:
1- I just read that flash player will not be supported on the ipads and that adobe is maybe going html 5.5 instead of flash.
Does this mean I will not be able to deploy my apps to the apple platform? Or is that just for the flash player part.
2- I want to buy flash cs5.5, preferrably using the monthly subscription.
Is there a payment option that actually makes me own the product after X payments? Or is it all on a lease basis.
Buying it all at once for 3200 euros if its not beeing persued by adobe in the near future seems steep.
But just paying monthly forever seems just as steep if there's no end to it.
I couldnt find a clear answer on their website.
Highest regards,
Mac

As far as I have heard/read, there has been nothing indiicated by Adobe that Flash will no longer be supported by them in the near future. So far there just seem to be alot of people that are misreading the articles that have come out.
1. Flash player has never been supported on the iStuff. Apparently that is not going to change. The recent articles by non-Adobe writers say that Adobe will no longer be pursuing development for the Flash player on any mobile devices. That is supposedly just for the Flash Player, and just for mobile devices.
2. You should contact customer support. I don't think they have a rent-to-own option... as far as I understand, when you rent you are kept updated on the latest versions released, so if CS6 came out tomorrow, you're already in the lineup to get upgraded to it. The best people to ask are the ones that sell it.

Battery Options for W510

Hi All,
I am having poor battery backup on my W510 and have sent my laptop multiple times to Lenovo Support , but no luck so far.
Is it possible to buy a extra battery and charge it offline and use when your laptop charger is drained?
Please suggest me what are the various battery option available for my laptop
My Laptop is : W510 Touchscreen ,i70,12G RAM
Thanis in advance
Solved!

Hi nandudb
How long those your battery last? From what I know, W510 does not have switchable grahics, therefore power consuming. It should at most last 1h+ with 6 cell battery.
You could maxed out your battery life with this option:
55++ 9cell battery + 27++ 9cell slice battery, using two battery at once.
Image of 27++ - There is a connector between the RAM and battery slot to connect the Slice battery or Docking Station.
Hope this helps!

Will Ebay.ca remove the ability to list in US dollars sometime in the near future

After reading on the boards as well as some of the comments on the weekly board, how many sellers think this will become permanent as it is in all other countries? Only listing in Can dollars on the Canadian site. Could be an interesting discussion

"Finally, as eBay's only dual-currency listing platform, our French and English sites present architectural challenges that sometimes slows or event prevents the delivery of new functionality that has tested well on other sites. Removing USD support would simplify things for eBay as well as the companies in our ecosystem moving forward.
If we do ever decide to retire the option to list in USD on the Canadian site, we will communicate that decision, then look to do so gradually, over a period of time, to minimize disruption for sellers. Canadian sellers who prefer to sell in USD would still be able to list using eBay.com. "________________________________________________________________________________________ Well, this was an interesting pronouncement, also interesting that Rodney stepped in to make it. I read "architectural challenges" as "too much cost", for one thing. Secondly, "delivery of new functionality that has tested well on other sites" sounds like a convenient excuse to me. They've been making new functionality work on .ca for quite some time. I agree with Pierre's view: "The way I read this comment by Rodney is that a final decision has not yet been made but will be made within the foreseeable future." ... and I suspect we had all better be prepared to be forced to list in $Cdn if we want to continue to list on eBay.ca. A few weeks ago when this topic was first mentioned by Raphael, I recall pointing out that eBay was probably trying to slowly get us accustomed to an unpalatable concept that would at some point be obligatory, by telling us that their "data" showed that all Canadian sellers would either benefit or see a neutral effect from listing in $Cdn. It seems that time is around the corner now. And I'm afraid I still think there is more behind this than the specious explanation given today would indicate. No wonder they removed the reference to "15% more sales when listing in U.S.". My goodness, who would want sellers to believe that if eBay needs (for reasons only they know) to have sellers list in $Cdn? New propaganda required, quick! Lastly, I find this part of Rodney's remarks rather disturbing: "Canadian sellers who prefer to sell in USD would still be able to list using eBay.com". So, let me get this right: It appears eBay will likely force us to list only in $Cdn on .ca in the near future. Yet many of us who mainly sell to the U.S. prefer to list in $US for obvious reasons of profitability. At that point, the only option will be to list on eBay.com. In other words, the only way Canadian sellers will really be able to make a profit (if you sell largely to the U.S.) will be to list on .com. Is it really just a coincidence that the recommended "workaround" for a longstanding and serious problem that we're told eBay will never fix (the ".com cart disconnect"), has been for Canadian sellers to list on .com exclusively? This would be a absurd suggestion if it were not that eBay might have other motives in trying to direct more Canadian sellers onto .com, i.e. to ultimately phase out (or at least pare down) eBay.ca. Consider this: perhaps this was the true reason eBay never resolved the cart disconnect -- they never intended to in the first place. One might even cynically say that the disconnect was a deliberate step toward getting more Canadian sellers to list on .com. Is eBay trying to "shepherd" Canadian sellers off eBay.ca? I personally believe so, perhaps for fiscal reasons. Quite frankly if I'm still around here in 2 years I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole site phased out.

I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
Good luck.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

Any information of releasing E-business Suite R13 in near future?

Can any body give me information about releasing E-business Suite R13 in near future?
Regards,
Subir Paul

The E-Business Suite 11i was there from 2000 until the latest R12 that came during late 2006 i guess.
So based on this estimate R13 may arrive in 2013 :) Historically RDBMS releases are more frequent then E-Business Suite releases. R13 is no way close.

Photoshop Elements upgrade for Mac in near future?

I use Aperture but would like an application to complete more sophisticated changes to a photo. Photoshop Element for Mac is one version behind the Windows version and the Mac version is about 18 months old. Has anyone heard if there is an updated version of Photoshop Elements due for the Mac in the near future?
Thanks

In case you haven't already heard, Elements 8 is now out. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it works great. Be sure to check out the system requirements to make sure you have the setup to use it.

I am using Elements 12 trial on an old windows 7 PC and wish to purchase the license. If I upgrade to a Mac OSX in the near future, will I have to repurchase the license?

If you think you want to use PSE on both platforms buy the boxed version, which comes with a serial number that works in both. Downloads have single-platform serial numbers. But at this time of year I don't think I'd buy PSE till the trial runs out.

I dream of new features in the near future !!!

I dream of new features in the near future, including that of power sharing my screen on my TV (imagine a Keynote presentation or a spreadsheet in a presentation), and able to play my games on Iphone 4 content directly on my TV .
Wow, just imagine the power of that kind of function.

Imagine, at your work you have your Mac in your office and you need to do a presentation in the meeting room. You plug in your ATV into the projector or television to the wall and you make your presentation. Imagine the same preparation but not from your computer but from your iPhone or your IPAD.
Just imagine this possibility to me that this would be an important addition that would open the possibilities of this very beautiful object.
And my goal, it would also and especially to have this opportunity at the opening of the box without having to tweak the code.

Bluetooth - any hope for file transfer in near future???

Hi,
Presently iPhone 4 does not allow bluetooth file transfer to other mobile devices and even my PC.
I am not interested in illegal music/video transfer but genuinely transferring my data files between pc and other mobile devices and use it like a mobile storage device. I don't like the idea of mailing my file and then downloading it again when I have both devices in my hand! It's not helpful when other devices do not have internet connection or limited internet usage.
Please let me know if apple policies would allow it to make file transfer possible in near future (except music and video). Otherwise it would greatly reduce its usability for me.
*I hate its file storing and transferring features.*
*Another reason for hating iPhone is 'Flash'.*
Apart from this, its simply superb.

Why is something so simple its available on 10 year old Nokia 3310 bricks not available on an iPhone. Its ridiculous.
Because there is nowhere to put the files on an iPhone. There is no common file storage area on an iPhone that all apps can access. Each app sits in a sandbox for security purposes. Each app can only access its own files. You would have to have an app running where the files would go, and then the files would only be available to that app.
The old Nokia has a common file area and does not have the security the iPhone does, but then 10 years ago you probably did not need the security.

T450s: missing 6-cell battery option in the configurator

Dear all,
now that the hardware trackpoints buttons are back it's time to buy a new thinkpad!
I'm configuring a T450s on shop.lenovo.com, but I noticed that the 6-cell battery option is missing. The only option that appears is:

but I'd like to have the big one.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Same battery (0C52862) as T440, T440s, T450, available here.
There's a big bulge on the bottom for the additional capacity.
UPDATE: ThinkPad Battery 68+ (6 cell) is available during checkout in the Accessories section.
Hope that helps,

I purchased Lightroom from B&H Photo a few months ago. I did not instal the software, because I was purchasing a new computer in the near future. I am now purchasing that computer, but cannot find the software. B&H suggested that I contact you directly to help me. I have the receipt, and you can look to see that the program was never used. It would be great if you could just send me another copy of the software. Thank you very much.
Marc

Download from Adobe's website
Win: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
Mac: Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
Install then enter your serial number when prompted.
I have the receipt, and you can look to see that the program was never used.
The receipt is only of use to B&H. Adobe will have no record of it.
If you quote an Adobe Lightroom serial number then Adobe can confirm if that serial number has ever been registered. That step should not be required at this stage though. Just install the software.
