UBER ANGERY TECHNICIAN..... WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING!!!

Hi I've been in the business of end-user repair, training and servicing for about 20 years. I've owned computers from every major manufacture on the market and I've repaired computers from every single manufacture on the market. This will be the second time in my life that I've actualy taken the time to register and post to a manufacturer forum....
Today I serviced an IBM Lenovo PC Model#41V9706 Like any intelligent technician I backed up all the customers irreplaceable data prior to beginning, and was informed that the customer had NO disks to speak of for their system. At first I thought, "ahh, common customer disguarding their important disks... As usual, But then I looked at his face and realized he was 65 and rich... Any way I found the restore application on the hard drive, ran it and created a boot disk. I then proceeded to try to restore from the backups on the drive. Didn't work (Great job btw on making good working backups....) Finally I did a manufacture restore and the @#$@ing thing deleted the entire drive BEFORE it told me that I needed more disks to do the manufacture restore. Are you guys out of your mind creating a program that is so backward that it doesn't even tell you that with out the disks it leaves the system completely useless? As of yet all of the lenovo software is now gone, I've had to install a fresh and blank copy of windows using the customers install key and NOW I can't even get their factory software back onto the system because a copy of it doesn't appear to exist.
I'm sorry to be so frank but what the heck kind of restore program deletes all the backups before it tells you it can't help you?! Even windows doesn't do that. If I am ever to recommend or endorse another IBM product it will need to show some intelligence in it's design and include fail-safes or at least some kind of warning system to let people know that it is completely useless before it deletes data. I am in the process of contacting customer service about this but I am not hopeful as my experience shows that for a small fee of $49.99 I might have the software replaced... What a royal piece of crap.
Your backup product receives a lousy 2 in my book your only redeeming qualities are it's ease of use and it's ability to work when windows doesn't.

call lenovo 800 in your country to get the original software disk and drivers, if you are in warranty time you get no fee to paid, and is 3 to 5 days to receive the disks

We recieved the new guid update it terrible. it's a pail blue with white text, a smaller text size , and it stayson screen for 3 seconds you couldn't read it if you could see it w/the white on light color. do you guys ever look at demmographics the largest sement of population are baby boomers , hello has anyone heard of age related blindness or at least decline. the old info bar stayed on longer so you had a chance to read it and the font size was large enough, and color contrast allowed me to read from the next room now you have to be on top of the tv. and keep hitting the button to read it. are you guys trying to give people another reason to leave if so you're doing a darn good job!

I agree 100%. This is absolutely ridiculous. Bring back the old format, if this is the best you can do. This extremely difficult to read.

No.

What are you guys monitoring thru?

I have logic 7 running on my dual gig G4 at my recording studio with a motu 2408mk II, adat hd24 goin into a yamaha 02r. I'm comeing to the conclusion that I may not need the 02r especially if I get to the point wher I'm doing everything in L7. Seems I would just need something to monitor thru and something to control L7. How are some of you guys monitoring Logic 7 ? I would love to get comments to give me some ideas on which way to move forward.
Thanks in advance
RD

I run Logic through Lavry 4496 "Blue" converters, as well as an RME Fireface (both set up as an Aggregate Device) to a Personus Central Station.
The Central Station acts like the monitor section of a console, which gives me a talkback to the studio, multiple speaker selectors, as well as a few other bells and whistles, such as Dim, Mute, and a volume knob.
The Lavry's act as my inputs and outputs to the Studio, while the Fireface, in conjunction with a Hear Technologies Headphone system, allows me to send multiple outputs to the Hearback headphone mixer. This way, I can send the talent in the studio various elements of the mix, that they can set up anyway the like, leaving me to not have to deal with it!
My preamp is a dual Neve 1272, with a 2-1176 compressor.
Monitor speakers are Dynaudio BM6's and Yamaha NS-10's.

What are you guys doing... This is boring as hell...

I am even starting to wonder why like... You know why. So that there can be a red red the whole time you guys were intercepting my phone. But that being said, why don't you meet me outside. Let's have a talk shall we? I'll be there at 3:36am

PS. Make that 5 minutes from now I need to find a few things

What do you guys think of this site/pricelist/ any advice?

Hey guys,
Just finished up launching my graphics business website -
www.coastgrafix.com.
Have a look at it, let me know what you think, didn't want to
get to advanced with flash on it etc. - If you have any pointers or
ideas for it or the pricing let me know!
Regards,

As others have said, your menu text defies legibility, but so
does all
of the text except "CoastGrafix" in the logo. The Serpentine
font is
particularly hard to read, even in print, and as graphic text
at the
size you are using it, might as well be hieroglyphs. It is
also, as
others have noted, a very dated type face--it does convey a
"high tech"
feeling, but the "high tech" of about 1982. The HTML text is
too small
and white text on black is hard to read.
The highlight colors for your menu are confusing. A color
that serves as
the highlight color for one menu item is the not-highlighted
color for
several others. Two shades of gray are used for two menu
items'
highlight, and the orange... well, it's hard to summarize
what the
colors might mean here, and that's a problem.
Also, the color scheme that you seem to be trying to use on
menu items
to indicate the current page is inconsistently implemented or
just an
accident that looks sort of deliberate.
You are using orange with an underline for links, but using
the same
color (without an underline) for emphasized text. This is
confusing.
On your ???? page (can't tell which page it is from the
design, and all
of your page titles are the same) you have an image that says
something
like "HOT SPECIAL." Clicking this launches my email program.
I have a
very strong aversion to links that are email links and not
identified as
such. You would do better to use a form for this function
anyway.

CS 5.5.2 and still no GTX480 support for Mecury Engine?What are you guys smoking when supporting 470

Never buying a Adobe product again. I'm in supporting for death of Flash. This is gone too far. I'm pissed to the core with Adobe. I would rather have FCP do the job than this crap where i don't get support.

Meetajhu,
MPE with GPU acceleration does indeed speed up both renders and encoding (when exporting from Premiere Pro 5/5.5) by a factor of generally between 1.5 and 1.8. See the following thread to better understand what I mean by this:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3459631?tstart=0
I just ran a test with all files on a single drive and to export 7.25 minutes of AVCHD to MPEG2-DVD (NTSC, progressive, wide, HQ) and comparing HW assisted vs. SW only I get:
w/ GTX 580 = 90% CPU + 54% GPU (takes 1:21)
software only = 98% CPU + 0% GPU (takes 2:00)
As you and others point out, when using MPE w/ GPU can speed up the time required for "Timeline Rendering" by up to a factor of infinity, but that can be useless if only doing a "render effects in timeline" (Enter key) is not enough rendering for your hardware to provide smooth playback from the timeline!
For example, if you have a timeline that show fully "red", as the AVCHD example above does on my PC, then PPro will force a partial render before it will even play back the clip (even though on my PC it plays flawlessly by simply pressing the spacebar). Then, when I shift over to "MPE with GPU accelaration" the whole timeline shows a yellow bar indicating that it is ready for playback without any rendering.
Finally, try to give PPro a chance; FCP had years of being at the top, but it is PPro's time now!
Regards,
Jim

What are you guys listening to right now ?

Are you guys going to primarily be using iBooks for epurchases?

I love the iBook store because it's so elegant to use and vastly prefer it to the Kindle app. The integrated dictionary and "pages to next chapter" are the killer features for me. But the Kindle so far has the wider selection and cheaper prices for ebooks. They also have a web broswer unlike the iBooks store. There's this one book I'm thinking about pre-ordering http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-ebook/dp/B003JTHXN6)and I'm not even sure if it's gonna come out to the iBook store soon enough (or even at all) :-/ What do you guys think about iBooks compared to the other ebook alternatives?

At this point I prefer to read in iBooks and have purchased a few books from there and also loaded epub books I already had.
But as you have noticed, their current selection is weaker - primarily with regards to older titles and Random House (who did wish to sign up with the "Agency Model" that Mr. Jobs insisted on). Then again Amazon has still not settled their "differences" with Penguin, and those books are on the iBookstore.
And B&N is AWFULLY SLOW in releasing their iPad app (can't stand the pixelated text of the iPhone app when used on the iPad).
But the differences between the three apps - at least when B&N gets off their butts - would for me make iBooks a preference. (I also like the two page view when holding the iPad horizontally, something the Kindle uses have been asking for also.) But if I want a book and it is available in one of the other stores and not in iBooks, well.....

*** are you guys doing???

I am getting really tired of the constant switching between different display modes!!!! What the **** are you guys thinking?!?! I always choose "list by release date" Sometimes you can list the TV shows appropriately by release date. Other times, iTunes list them by day of the week. Finally, just now, you can only list them by some other - have no idea - method!!! This is totally frustrating. BE CONSISTENT!!! I am getting ready to just say the **** with iTunes and go back to comcast. Seriosuly. This is untenable!! Fix it and be consistent or goodbye!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I got my iphone 5 already, and it was comming lined, what you guys think I have to do? Im from central america.

"comming lined" does not make any sense in English. "comming" isn't even a word.
Please rephrase the question or post in your native laguage.

Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted? Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
All of these options do not seem too great to me.
I am open to any ideas.
Thanks,
Rob

It's the last day of Ramadan. Similar to All Saints Day. Similar to All Hallow's eve... the night before All Saints Day.
It's not a "sick trick".

What Are You Playing Right Now Thread

Hey guys!
Let's start a good conversation! Thread topic is very simple which is...

> Give a short overview about the game you are playing or is hooked right now.
> Give your recommendations to other members (good and bad or both are accepted)
> Likes and Dislikes
> Keep it clean and use English please
Shall we start?
Right now I am playing Final Fantasy X... yes.. an old game..... it's taking a long time to complete it. Before it, I played Mass Effect 3. Very nice game! Love the story! A lot of action and drama too. Recommend it to FPS and RPG gamers! Love the graphics too! Lady characters are very sexy! I think I'm in love with Miranda :p I'm also playing a little BF3 from time to time. I'm planning to go back playing MMO but can't decide what to play yet. I played Dragon Nest but got tired of it...

we don't have FB in mainland...
and everything is more expensive in here.
I'd love to play HOTS thou
Yeah StarCraft 2 looks awesome. I think I did play the first installment before I started working. I would like to finish the story. Been a fan of it since the first StarCraft... I'm kinda in a need of advice right now. I'm tired of playing single-player games right now like Final Fantasy, ME3.. I still have Alan Wake and Max Payne 3 that I haven't touched yet.. I feel like going back to MMOs.. any good suggestions? I feel like playing Guild Wars 2 but I'm reluctant since it's kinda old now and getting on top of the ranks should be harder for anybody entering the game right now.. Hmmm.. any other suggestions?
