Is there A virus scan for the playbook

I have look everywhere I can think of. Is there A virus and malware scan for the playbook

if you store an EXE file, your PC should be set to scan all USB and network shares and should detect it before you run it
where did you see android virus?

Here's a tease from a RIM PM on the status of BB10 for the PlayBook

This is a table scrap of positive news from a RIM Project Manager that something is in the pipes for the PlayBook for sure...when it will arrive is the unknown factor though. The question was: "So hows BB 10 for the PlayBook coming?" The reply says: "My lips are sealed! Good things to come. John" (If you right click on the image below and select view image it will enlarge in the same window in FireFox - most likely IE or Chrome too.)
I mean, we've heard nothing for quite some time officially that BB 10 was coming to the PlayBook. So, to me at least, this states that something is indeed coming to the PlayBook and reinforces that fact. It doesn't say anything else obviously. But reassurance is comforting.

RIM has stated all along that BB10 would be coming to the PlayBook sometime AFTER the launch of the BB10 for the smartphone devices. They've not been silent on that, and John's is just the latest in confirmations.
Thanks, can't wait to have it on the PB!

Wifi for the playbook

I just bought my husband the playbook and we dont know how to get our phone to act as a wifi hotspot in order for us to use our phones for internet - we live in SA - help anyone??

1. You can use the Bridge function on your BlackBerry handheld device to send a signal to your PlayBook.
2. You can use the PlayBook > Options > Tether to your BlackBerry handheld device for a signal.
or
3. IF your handheld BlackBerry has the function of Mobile Hotspot, you can use that for the Playbook to connect via WiFi. I don't know what exact model of the Curve you have.
What is your exact model number of Curve?
And, What is your Operating System loaded to your device? Look at Options > Device > About, third line down beginning with a "v.7.0.x.xxx", What is yours?

Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook?

Hello,
I got a PlayBook and it came with the wrong charger plug. It's for the US that I can't use here in Germany.
Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook instead?
The information on the chargers are similiar but for the output it's a bit different: (They both say 5V but than 1.8 instead of 1.5)
PlayBook charger output: 5V = 1.8A
Android tablet charger output: 5V = 1.5A
Thanks for any feedback.

It'll charge slightly slower, but yes.

Suggestion for the PlayBook Team

There have been suggestions made and issues identified with the PlayBook on this and other forums. Many of these are understandable with the initial release of a totally new product, new OS, and very limited development time.
My issue is more fundamental: What is the PlayBook supposed to be?
   1) Business Tool?
   2) Entertainment Device?
   3) Smartphone Extension/Enhancement?
It appears that PlayBook is trying to be "all of the above, to all people, and master of none"
The PlayBook was to be my business tool. Unfortunately it currently fails to meet my minimum business requirements. The functionality for the two other uses seems to be limited as well.
It would be helpful if the PlayBook Team conveyed the primary purpose of the PlayBook; and, concentrated development in that direction. This would provide a realistic expectations as to the future use of my PlayBook.

What is wrong with all of the above?
What's the focus of the iPad, Xoom and Tab?
I do believe you'll see it fulfill all three as apps develop and time passes. Obviously right now it's not serving your needs.

A vote for the MBP Retina

For quite a few months I monitored these forums to see how the new retina MBP would go over. I do know that forums are usually the places were people with problems appear. Rarely do you get people showing up and saying everything is just great. So you need to take these forums with a grain of salt and use them to guide your decision making.
So I followed the heat thread, the burn-in thread and a number of others.
I'm a programmer by trade. I use VMWare Fusion every day and I often need tons of RAM. Flash disk is also almost required these days as I need to switch between things quite quickly. So when the retina MBP was introduced my drool production went up about a thousand fold!   I've been working on the following models:
A 2008 MBP pro 17" with a core2duo, 4gb RAM and a 256gb drive
Sold that and got:
A 2010 MBP pro, high-res 15" display core i7 with 8gb of RAM.
In some ways the 2010 MBP was a dream machine. The 8gb of RAM made it possible for me to open 2-3 VMs under Fusion and the high-res display made up for the loss of the 2 inches of display real estate when stepping down from the 17".
The battery life on the 2010 sucked. I NEVER got more than a couple of hours out of it.   I also noticed that even after a nice fresh clean Lion install with few programs and processes the processors worked hard. This machine got hot and burned through battery power like a million candle spot light. Still it was a great machine and I did millions of lines of code on that machine.
But since the introduction of the retina MBP with its 16gb of RAM and the big flash disk I've been making a mess of my desk whenever I visit Apple's web page. I was trying to temper that with a belief that as a first gen re-work it is bound to have some issues. So I'd go over to BestBuy and play with the machines there. I often got strange looks from the Apple Best Buy guy and I think he sort of came not to like me because unlike most of his customers I was in the system prefs changing settings playing with terminal windows and I don't think he appreciated what I was doing. I didn't care. I wanted to get a feel for the machine.
So last month I made a pitch to my boss to let me do an upgrade. He finally relented and about 2 weeks ago I placed my order. My MBP retina arrived on Monday. So right off the bat I need to qualify my statements here with the fact that I've only had mine about 3 days. Certainly not long enough to find all of the problems. But here is my impression since getting this machine.
I opted for the 15" retina, 2.6gHz, 16gb RAM, 768 Flash Drive.
When I received the unit on Monday I loaded it up with my editors, compilers, programs from the AppStore, music, etc.   Of my 768 I'm down to about 210gb free which is plenty. I was expecting to use more.
The first thing I must confess about this new machine is how quiet the processors are. I installed iStat Menus which I like so I can monitor how my MBP is doing. With my 2010 just running a single VMWare Fusion VM had the processor at about 30% and the fan running say 3500 RPM. It was hot and noisy. This new machine, as I type this post has two VMs open. A Windows 7 32 bit, and a Windows 7 64 bit. I'm also listening to iTunes, I have mail, google chrome, calendar, contacts and a number of other apps open. As I sit here the CPU activity almost non existent. The rMBP isn't even struggling in the least with this load. In direct comparison my 2010 MBP would have 30-40% CPU load and the fans would be screaming away, not at full bore but really loud. But here I sit with this new machine and it is quiet, only very slightly warm and I'm doing what I "normally" do.
For this alone the upgrade was CLEARLY worth it to me. The computing horsepower in this machine is insane.
My unit came with (heaven forbid) the LG display that everyone in the "burn-in" thread says is HORRIBLE and some of these guys have gone through 5 or 6 replacements to solve their burn in problems. I don't doubt they've had these issues. I don't doubt they exist. I have none of them. This display is freaking amazing!
Now I've heard it said that the IR (image retention, ghosting, burn-in) can take weeks to appear. So I'm not out of the woods yet. But at this point in time the display is simply awesome and with the background I choose I see ZERO ghosting. I'll say it again. This display is freaking awesome!
Now I'm not a graphic artist and I cannot and will not try to tell you if my color point is correct for the white or not. What I can tell you is that this display looks good to me. I can read even the smallest text easily. The clarity is simply amazing. I'm 55 and have certainly reached that age where my eyes work overtime. I wear progressive glasses and I'm not having any trouble at all with the display.
The only thing I could point a finger at is that this new retina display is bounded by a black area that for my eyes is the same color as my background. I've found myself trying to slide windows into that area and being shocked that they are disappearing (because the display physically ends there). This is just something to get used to or I could set my background to be a little lighter. Anyway this is a pretty damned small negative if I must say so.
Ok on heat. As I mentioned above this machine just idles along 99% of the time so there is little heat being produced. I'm not doing nothing either. In my Windows 7 VMs I'm running compilers and when the are cranking on code the Windows CPU is showing 100% while the rMBP registers this as like 5%. Not sure I understand how that is working yet but I see no speed loss in my VM and yet my rMBP is just coasting even though Windows is registering 100% CPU.
The airflow on this new computer is to take air in from the sides and dispense the hot air out a vent in front of the display. I personally think this is a design flaw. I think this may be causing some of the burn in/ghosting issues because the computer is venting hot air right at the display. I personally would have vented it out the back beneath the screen but perhaps the latch as it is designed for the rMBP may make that impossible.
But as an engineer I have an idea for a way to fix the heat on the LCD panel issue. It would not take much to make a small plastic piece that sat in that hinge area and took the outgoing air and sent it to the sides way from the panel. I'm not gonna design this but if the heat really is the issue this simple $2 piece would probably save the panel.
So my take is this:
For me personally and acceptance of anything is a very personal choice, the retina MBP is exactly what Apple bills it to be. The best, more amazing laptop I've ever owned. It is cool (temp wise), fast (amazingly fast), small, thin, light, has an amazing screen visually and I predict this computer will satisfy my needs for quite a few years to come.
I will not berate or downplay the issues some have had. I honestly believe there have been bad retina MBPs. Bad screens. Heat issues. Failures. They happen and those people have suffered and I hope Apple will make it right for them. But I'm one to say that my unit more than satisfies my goals and intents. Like any piece of machinery it has its small issues. I'm sure my screen will have some IR. I'm sure my unit will get hot but so far it doesn't work even 1/4 as hard as my older 2010 MBP.
So my point to everyone is make your own choice. Do not let the threads you see in these forums convince you that your retina MBP will be problem ridden. Just because other people see and are bothered by a problem you might not be and the problem may not exist on your retina MBP.
For me, this machine is simply amazing. I can only hope my panel does not suddenly start to show massive ghosting. I do plan to keep a close eye on that and on the heat. But right now I'm not expecting issues.
Good luck in your purchase and also to those that have purchased and are not satisfied.

I need to add just one more thing and that is on battery life. Last night I sat with the rMBP on my lap installing software, surfing the web, answering emails for close to 4 and 1/2 hours. At the point I took it back to the charger it still was showing a computed battery time remaining of 3.5 hours.
Today I had two VMs open and took the machine of the charger and sat outside with my dogs for about 30 minutes. During this time I was working in both VMs, editing and compiling code. My battery life estimate showed a good solid 4 hours.
This is roughly 6 times greater than what I had with my 2010 MBP and it too had a SSD. I am not sure why but this retina MBP just seems to not work as hard doing anything that caused my 2010 MBP to struggle.
While the battery life is certainly better than I expected it is clear that load can change that very rapidly. So I think I still need to visit clients with an external battery or charger in hand. But I don't think I will be quite so scared that my laptop will simply run out of power before I can even get it plugged in.

Blackberry desktop software cannot communicate with the connected device for the playbook

Hey whats up..... I'm new to the playbook and I'm having serious problems trying to connect my playbook with the blackberry desktop software. when i tried connecting it, a small windows popped up, saying "blackberry desktop software cannot communicate with the connected device.............. and if error to update". So i did. I'd already backed up the playbook the day before so it was ok when the small windows said, "all data would be remove and playbook would return to factory settings". I did all the procedures and the blackberry desktop software still wont connect to the playbook. I tried uninstalling the blackberry desktop software and re-installing it, but the same thing keep on showing up. So i cant access my playbook.
Can someone plz help me????????
PS... My Playbook is on OS 2.1.0.1088 and is 16GB

Vote for the change of the name BFS scheduler

I do not know if this is the right forum to post this, so forgive me if it isn't. I like the merits of this new scheduler, but I am absolutely abhor by it's naming. It's rude, disrespectful, and simply unprofessional to have such a name for such a piece of software technology. I do not see the likes of any naming scheme in any other areas of computing. Now this is my opinion, and I guess I am just trying to see what the general opinion or consensus is out there regarding this name.
Why could not the developer called it something like, BSS (Brain Smart Scheduler), or IDS (Intelligent Desktop Scheduler), or NPS (New Paradigm Scheduler), KWS (Kolivas-Works Scheduler), or HPKS (High Performance Kolivas Scheduler), or something more respectable. I know that with this existing name, it keeps it on the lips, tongues and minds (consciously/unconsciously) of everyone. But does not what it has done already enough to bring it to the forefront. I imagine that this great piece of software and what it has done, should stand on merit alone, and not on a controversial name. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, I believe a name can to. Fact is, the name betrays him as a professional. It does not cast him in a good light. Maybe he does not care, but this is not part of some inconsequential, ten-minute game. It is in fact part of an important, cutting edge O.S called Linux. And he should care about naming it more appropriately.
It is said that if we see a wrong, then it is for us to know that we have the power to effect a change, make it right and good, and in the end make a positive difference. That is what I, and I hope others will attempt to do.
No disrespect to Con Kolivas, I would love to see this new scheduler become a core part of the kernel, just not with this ridiculous name. A Good Name will always be Regarded, a Bad One should always be Discarded. These are just my views, what do you think. Vote Yes/No for a name change.

sand_man wrote:Take it up with Con. It has nothing to do with Arch.
As far as "unprofessional", why should Con care? He is providing a FREE alternative kernel scheduler. He can call it whatever he wants. If you don't like it, don't use it.
No doubt. And with no disrespect intented to you naphtali, this thread is not going to go very well.

VOTE FOR THE BEST CD MANUFACTURING COMPANY (BEST QUALITY?)

MORE INTERESTING TOPICS FROM THE LPG
Are all CD's the same? Who has the best quality when it comes to buring your material to a CD for pressing and distribution.
There is also another interesting topic on how to protect your songs. Cd plants have burning system where they can protect the music so people can not extract them. Is this possible to do from home, such as not allowing the wav to turn into mp3. ITUNES ALSO HAS THIS FEATURE WHEN YOU BUY A SONG FROM THEM. THE SONG IS NOT CRACKABLE.
POST YOUR THOUGHTS.

We've been using Phillips the past 6 years... They are high quality and I can still use them today....Normally the cd's need to be re burned every 2 years some even every year....Sound crazy but Once we bought 100 Kodak's and after 1 year
we could not read half the data --- it may have been cuz of the recorder but backin gup on a cd or dvd dont last forever...Unfortunately....
Anyway, the we backup now is buying a firewire harddrive (Cost Approx. $1,- per GB) do our backup and put it in the closet till the next baclup is due. This is almost a cheap as backing up on DVDS and it is alot faster and easier....

Why is there a 30 day limit for email on the Playbook

Sorry this isn't really a support question but I was wondering if anyone knows why they maintained the maximum 30 day limit on email etc for the Playbook. I kinda understand the logic for a phone (although it would be nice to have the option of all my mail) but I use my playbook differently and really need all my mail not just the last 30 days.

Thanks so much for the best of all of your choice by email again then we will not receive this email is not responsible or so of this tag only one I have been the best time for your help and the next level of risk from you again and learn how much you owe.
Yep, the above is seekrit code explaining the why part. If I tell more they might harm me.
Enjoy the playbook.

How to do things Wrong, or the Playbook. A Catharsis.

Dear Blackberry, I want to talk about your little beautiful tablet: The Playbook.
This is a Catharsis, so don't take this personal, it isn't.
I have one, I found it's hardware to be incredible. The OS (2.0) it's also fast and responsive. There are several thing really well done in it: multitasking, gestures, the way to close programs, how to reset, suspend and shutdown, and many, many others.
But it have a problem, you hate your users. You hate them badly, because you don't know them, or ignore them on purpose (not sure yet).
Let's talk about what can go wrong with such a good product, because there are a few levels of wrong.
First wrong: the basic software
Let's jump to OS 2.0 directly, because thinking on a tablet without a native contacts and mail client gives me the chills.
Twitter. Amazing service eh? Even you have several accounts, in different languages and all. But you don't offer a free native twitter client. You have one, for ALL your phones, and it's good. Amazingly, you didn't port it to QNX, so we are all stuck with buying one, or use the web interface. Look at your great tablet, now grab the crappiest droid tablet with at least V2.3 of the OS. In one of those two tablets you have twitter out of the box. Hint: not in yours.
Blackberry Messenger (BBM). Again, amazing service. I think that's the single feature of your products that make you sell about 1M phones in a 40M inhabitants country, mine. Really amazing. So, if you get a Blackberry, you have it, right? No, wrong. Not with the Playbook. And you know what? That makes the Playbook a LOT less appeal to LOTS of people. Apple copied you, and released a messaging application with iOS 5, for idevices only. At the same time them where releasing a tablet with a feature that copied from you (because it's a feature that sells products), you where dumping that feature. I'm wondering if you didn't want to sell tablets, but just show off the fact that you can make one if you want.
Second wrong: connecting to PCs
As far as I've used mildly advanced devices (phones, tablets, even a Palm!) they all connected to my computer as a Massive Storage Device. At least, all of them have the option easily available (with the Palm I had to install a tiny, free, third party program). But not the Playbook. Oh no. It must do it in the most obnoxious way an intelligent (and evil) engineer can create. A virtual USB network adapter? Browse through a virtual shared folder? It's hard to imagine the creative session in which such a devilish idea was devised: “Can you do it more difficult and obscure?” “I can make it connect as a virtual USB network device, but that's too far!” “Do it! mwahahahahaha!”
So, I end up asking myself, Do you hate your users? I see that you are under heavy fire from US tech media, that clearly want you and other players (like Nokia) cold dead. I've read several reviews of your tablet and phones that didn't do justice to neither of them, but you seem to like to offer soft flanks to attacks.
Some times it looks like as YOU don't believe in YOUR OWN platform as to migrate the most basic software, How do you expect third parties to do it? Make all your software (or the most used or otherwise important) available for the Playbook and other developers will follow, no the other way around.
Reading forums and blogs I see some people believe that some of your most bizarre decisions, like the connecting to a PC monstrosity, are based in what CTOs or the like told you for security reasons. Aren't CTOs the ones happily jumping into the BYOD bandwagon because it's cheaper? Those are good clients to please while making all the others curse your ancestors, really a top notch strategic decision.
You know, this era is becoming, in certain aspects, most bottom-up than top-down. Consumer decisions are every year more based in peers than in marketing (with the admirably exception of Apple, which we can discuss other day if you want). And companies aren't in the mood to argue with their userbase, especially if that is more expensive than to let them do what they want (ie. BOYD).
Your users are the ones that uses your devices, not the ones that buys them. That leaves the CTOs and the like as an small subset of users, not the most important. If enough people in the company complains about crappy software and say that they want to use their drois or idevices for free, your CTO it's not going to argue much. And not having a native, preinstalled Twitter client, or having to go through a pain to simply connect the tablet to a PC are the kind of things about which users complain loudly.
Times are changing, so should your bussiness model. Be smart and be quick. Don't be Nokia (Who, by the way now had all their flagship phones gone obsolete in a single press conference by Microsoft. Now MS just needs to delay WP8 a few months to bring Nokia to its knees. A smart move by Nokia, huh?).
Be intelligent Blackberry, sharp your teeth and look what people will want to do with your tablet and phones and make the tablet and phones do that for them. After that, see how you can secure it to CTOs taste, but with user experience fixed in a high standard.
It's a shame to see a giant and innovative company like you struggle against your own incompetence, or the incompetence of a highly positioned moron, not sure about that. It's the same with Nokia, they can't stop shooting their feet.
Do yourself a favor, ask users what they want to do with their tablets, and make your tablets do so.
My apologizes for all the moronic errors with my English, it's not my mother tongue and my proficiency left a lot to be desired.
Greets,
Anibal

First, this forum is a peer to peer support community. While RIM people do look in now and then they don't offer official support here. It's possible some may read your post, though.
I'm going to see if I can address your main concerns:
Twitter: There are several apps available in AppWorld. Personally, I just use the web app supplied and it works just fine. Additionally, you can download Android apps to your Playbook quite easily. My favorite place to get them is from here:
http://goodereader.com/apps/playbook/playbook-android-apps/
BBM: This service requires a BB data plan via a BlackBerry. I bridge my PlayBook to my BlackBerry and can use BBM quite easily (though Groups are not yet supported.)
Connecting to PC: Please download the Desktop Software from www.blackberry.com/desktop
Hopefully, this helps you some. I much prefer my PlayBook over my iPad any day. I have taken the time to research on the Internet and figure out how to convert my own Android apps over to PlayBook and it has given me some extra utilization. It's not hard to do once you get everything set up.
John

Excellent reply SeanEllis Thank you.
Yes after I had the ideas, wrote a survey and created the Skype Room group, I discovered the Forum thread about Skype Ideas and had the same thought. they are already doing this. So, I guess the benefit of mine is to raise awareness of this Skype Idea Community Board.
In my Skype Room guidelines, there is a link to the Survey which has links to all the Skype Ideas Boards for all the Skype clients, (Win7,8 iOS, Mac)... well Mac didnt have one, but I linked to the Mac blog & community.
I completely agree and love the explanation of the process to elevate the most Kudo'd (voted for/ popular) idea requests for implimentation. Very Impressive. People don't relaize that Skype/MS is listening... as you said ... to the clear focused voice of the most voted for and commented on Ideas for Skype changes. So Pleae dont dilute the votes for the same request! I will repeat the good info I found and link to it again....

PS Status of Your Idea
This is what shows me that Skype/MS is listening (from the last link above, in case you want to read the whole thing):
What do the votes/kudos mean?
Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind! (my underline)
What do the different idea statuses mean?
We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
Status of Your Idea:
New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you (my tweak - or someone else), and ready to be vetted by the community.
Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
Under consideration- Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
More information needed- More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
Already exists - This is available in the product.
Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!

Adobe ColdFusion Builder Bugbase: Vote for Some of these Bugs to be Fixed

As I'm sure you know CF Builder 3 isn't quite perfect yet and the Adobe Bugbase has a not-so-great search interface so I thought I would share some issues I reported recently which have impacted my workflow with the product. Perhaps some of my fellow developers have also run into these annoyances. If you have, or if you feel like supporting these issues to get Adobe's developers to fix them, I encourage you to also leave a note on each bug to increase the likelihood that they get fixed in the next release. Feel free to also post links to bugs/feature requests you've submitted and perhaps the community will also support your bug reports as well.
Below please find the name and link to each bug/feature request. To vote for the bug please click the "my vote" button at the bottom right corner of the page.
Bug 1:Code Coloring Breaks When Comments Used Within Function with Named Arguments
Bug#3831825 - Code Coloring Breaks When Comments Used Within Function with Named Arguments
Bug 2: ColdFusion Builder 3.0 Hangs When Using Code Assist on Large Files
Bug#3833130 - ColdFusion Builder 3.0 Hangs When Using Code Assist on Large Files
Note: Adobe has asked for code samples on this one. If you have a large CFM or CFC file that hangs when trying to provide suggestions please upload your file to the bug report.
Feature Request 1: Code Suggest Enhancement: Ability to disable code suggest for variables / tags independantly
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3854326
Note: This one is related to the above bug (bug #2). I believe that if we can turn on/off specific types of suggestions we can improve the performance when using code assist. This one will need a lot of votes since it's a feature request.
Bug 3: ColdFusion Builder Ignores CFELSEIF/CFELSE Tags in Outline
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=selectBug&CFGRIDKEY=3865754

Thanks Carl. I haven't tried Twitter yet as I don't really have any followers that are fellow developers. I've been looking for other people with relevant problems though on forums (this one, stackoverflow, etc...) and when I encounter them I pass along my bugbase submissions.

Vote for the PlayBook!
