Well Done !!

May 1, 2003 - As a result of a partnership with SolarMetric Inc., Sun
Microsystems Inc. in mid-April said that it would again integrate the Java
Data Objects specification with its Sun ONE Studio IDE through a plug-in for
SolarMetric's Kodo JDO implementation. The JDO specification provides a
means to persist Java objects in a database without use of that database's
query language. Sun's own implementation of JDO had been dropped from its
IDE following a product rebranding in May 2002

Well done, Apple! Spotlight is flying after 10.4.6!

Since 10.4.5, Spotlight was considerably slow to start searching things.
After this morning update, Spotlight took off and is flying really fast.
Well done, Apple!

Please re-Update using the downloaded Combination updater. (Apple downloads)
If that doesn't help, the only other thing I can recommend is to resinstall OS X using the archive & install option in the installer.

Photoshop Photography Program - Well Done !!

I’ve been a Lightroom user for a few years now and found that as the applications matures, probably 90% of image manipulation can be done within that programme. The other 10% either got ignored or fudged. I’ve had a Photoshop CC single membership since early last year and that’s where the 10% gap was filled. Indeed I don’t believe there is anything can touch PS CC in terms of sheer power and flexibility.
However the monthly fee for the 10% when need was stretching it a bit, until now. I didn’t qualify for the PPP when it was first introduced, as I hadn’t a previous history with PS. However now the barriers have been dropped and anyone can get Lightroom and Photoshop for [UK] £8.78 a month. Well what can I say? It’s the cost of two Cappuccinos and a cookie a month. Simply superb.
You’ve listened Adobe – well done indeed.

Well for now Herbert2001, my subscription has just come down approx 48% and I no longer need to buy Lightroom updates. No brainer really.
Actually, do you honestly think that the company would be daft enough to increase membership charges in such a way and infuriate its subscribers? The bigger the company, the more protective it becomes of its brand image, this is basic commercial logic. It simply can't afford to damage its reputation in the market place, hence the reintroduction of the PPP to a wider audience I suspect.
Yours, still very upbeat.

Custom MBP Delivery ... Well done Apple!!

It's nice to be able to thank a manufacturer-supplier nowadays.
I ordered my custom anti-glare 17inch MBP last Monday 17th ... I got the usual 1-3 day shipping notice, so I opted for free shipping with outside estimate on the 25th. However the MBP did not ship until the 21st from Shanghai - with a delivery of the 27th - the date I am leaving on a film shoot and needed the MBP.
So I called Apple on Friday with my problem to see if they can move it along? My MBP is on the delivery truck in my hometown as I write this - will be here any moment.
Well done Apple!

Hi,
Have your email.
I played the sound in Mail and it used Quicktime to do so and I do not think the sound was particularly loud. Obviously Play back was at Output Volume that I had set.
I then put it in my Home folder/Library/Sounds and selected it in iChat.
It did seem to be louder or at least more piercing than my Regular one for Video Invites when used as a Test sound in iChat itself (As you Describe)
Now something very strange then happens - when I invited my self to an Audio Chat (I set it as the Audio Invite Alert).
It does not play. My computer gives me it's standard "bonk" noise that I have set as the entry Error sound.
I have Quicktime Pro and have tried Exporting it and Extracting it as well as changing the settings to 8 bit rather than 16 bit and to Mono rather than Stereo but I still can not get it to play in iChat when it is supposed to be the Alert (Again just as you describe)
I have even tried though iMovie HD
At this stage I am at a loss as to why your sound file is behaving differently to all the rest of mine.
I will send you one of mine and see if you can find the difference.
It is not .aiff but I have others that are.
The only thing I can spot is the sample 16 bit integer versus 8 bit integer

Congratulation to the Logic-Pro Team, job well done!

If BlayZay say's Logic has past, then for sure it has past with flying colours and i'll no longer say Logic !!
as i have done in the pass because of how tedious things was in the previous version, and again in being a bit disappointed with the release of things broken in L.P. 8 at the first state of its release,
8.0.1. update Logic-Pro has made massive change, compare to just L.P. 8.
Right now I'm flying with my workflow and thanks Guys and girls wishing you all a happy holiday!
Best of all my Controller now works.
Fr.BlayZay.

The Zoom on the Logic Mackie Controller doesn't work but as far as just getting to use this controller its okay for now.
Logic-Pro is a big apps so they need to take as much time in getting it right therefore i won't rush the developers, but to thank them in the changes that they have made, and will be making.
They need to be credited, not just told when all is bad i believe in them and think Logic-Pro 8 is by far the best Logic i have seen or the best Daw on Planet-Earth,
even though Digi-Design has show how dangerous they are with Audio, in Streching and quick Automation, and for the price its a Dream come though, not to mention the way Symphony-Card integrates with Mac and Apogee.
Oh! i wish i could just plug my Delta-Card in Symphony like the Rosetta 800.
Logic-Team Well-Done!
Fr.BlayZay.

Well Done BT

A lot of people knock BT on these forums but credit where credit is due.
I got home Thursday night to find the electric had been off & we had no phone, no broadband & no vision. EON had dug up the pavement in front of my house to repair a electrical fault at a house down the road & cut through the BT cable to mine & next doors.
I called to report the fault at 5.30pm on Thursday & was told they would try to repair it by Tuesday thinking great EON will fill the hole a BT will come out & say we need to dig up the pavement & it will take ages but BT came round Friday afternoon & it was fixed within 45 minutes.
Well done BT

Good work on the iPhone - job well done Apple.

For a first run G1 do it all Phone/computer -- you have really built an amazingly good interface that just works and works well.
I don't know who runs your human interface group, but I for one would like to meet the person/group and just thank them. I've never worked on a interface that just flows so well -- and the zoom in/out control and positioning is flawless!
Bravo! Take a bow.
Rob.

As my preacher is oft to say: Now is good time to say, AMEN!
Bravo Indeed!
A hearty and heartfelt thank you to all at Apple for this wonderful piece of technology!

How would you like your G5? well done or over easy?

I was working on my G5 today, left for a couple of minutes. When I got back, the computer was OFF and there was a SMELL in the air like "Baked Capacitor" or melted plastic. Of course I unplugged everything - next I will take it to the shop. It was not overheated or anything to the touch so I suspect a capacitor (but not certian) how can one prevent this? the machine ran well for about 3 years so I guess I cant complain except that it was out of warranty by only a few months! it was protected by surge protector (which still works fine) so I can't say it was a power surge. In fact Im sending this message via PC which is pluged into the same surge protector that the G5 was.

Hi M-323,
I think it would probably be best to have someone look at it before you lay out any cash, just to confirm that it is the power supply and maybe not something cheaper or more expensive to fix.
Luckily you should be able to find out about that for free if you make an appointment and then take it to your nearest Apple "Genius" , which unluckily for you is some distance away. But if I were you I would make one attempt anyway, that should be all that is required.
When I took my G5 in to an Apple Store which was also in a large mall, I called ahead to make the appt. and also asked them if they had a cart or something that I could use once I got there. They did, and even though it was still a pain to lug around it made things much easier. These things are awkward and heavy. Afterward they let me use the cart as well to take it to my car. You might want to see about something like this. And because they go by appt. times you'll know when to be there.
In my opinion, from what I've gathered from these discussion pages, the 3 year mark is a critical time for a G5, so I think in all likelihood something just wore out. I'm hoping, and I have no reason to think otherwise, that your problem involves only your power supply and nothing else. Quite a few people have had their logic boards go a little after 3 years, or their processors. Those are a horrendous expense to fix. With a power supply I'm pretty sure it shouldn't top $300 to replace. Yeah, that's expensive, but a logic board replaced goes for well over a thousand.
So to sum up, what I would do in your place is to take it in and get it confirmed that it is indeed the power supply and nothing else. I would ask them for their estimate to fix it and then take it home again, unless money is not too much an issue.
Once I got it home I would go looking for a used power supply on the internet. Used ones can really be as good as new ones, they're not real complicated devices, they work or they don't. Once I found a power supply I would buy it and install it myself or let an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Repairer put it in for me. Probably the latter though I know of many people who've done it themselves.
Here are just a few places I've found that deal in used Mac parts:
http://www.mac-pro.com/
http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Parts-c-3987_238.html
http://www.usedmac.com/
http://www.secondhandmac.com/
And there are more out there. Plus I bet ebay is a good place to find mac parts too.
Good luck, M-323. Post back to say how things are going or if you have any other thoughts or questions. Have a good Holiday Season

Well done Apple...

Ok, have to admit I was sceptical that Apple would deliver rentals to the UK this side of Christmas, but things are looking up.
Missed the 'news' earlier today having been at the local hi-fi shop to see some new high-end equipment demoed - I took my AppleTV with me on the off-chance I might be able to compare it with the new £4,000 hard drive based music/CD player but decided it wouldn't have been received well had I suggested an a) vs b) comparison!
Suspect Winston and Chenks are downloading movies - AppleTV (with 2.02) is in the car boot - don't think I can be bothered to try the rentals at this hour.
Of course, all we need now is to see a price drop to about £130 in line with what happened in the US when rentals were announced.
I'm quite excited by this - the future really is in on demand viewing not archaic physical media like BluRay.
AC

I think they did a good job too. I'm happy that:
iTunes Playlist Folders now show up on the Apple TV. Before, they were just all combined into one massive list.
iPhoto '08 Events now work with the Apple TV. Before, it would only show iPhoto Albums and Smart Albums.
YouTube Subscriptions show up on the Apple TV. This is really useful as it enables you to navigate all the video content of one user very easily.

Skype and win 10 well done

Hello all,
I have just installed windows 10 technical preview on an old laptop drive and installed it in my pc.
Good news skype is back but this time its easier to use you can make it look how you wish like the old compressed view but with tiles.
in the top left there is a drop down menu for settings and preferences, EASY AS PEAS.
ALL calls,sound and camera worked first time without having to use in win 7 compatibility mode.
there is hope yet don`t go back to tablet looking apps.
p.s. win 10 looks good too the start menu is back and navigation to anywhere on your system is easy.
best regards Topper

That's great! I am glad you had an actually pleasant experience.
Maybe hearing from enough unhappy customers over the last weeks when they haven't been willing to deal with these same type of security issues has caused them to finally look at their policies regarding fraud. I wish they had done that from that get go, it would have saved me days of frustration and anger.

Thumbs Up for BT a job well done

The engineer arrived on time ie 8am and was polite and moved my connection upstairs he was fast efficent and polite so he got two cups of coffee!
The modem and Hub was up and running within 2 hours of him getting here and my line was faster than the speeed estimate which is great so now my ip profile is 77.43 down and 20 up i will keep my eye on it over the next 10 days and update any changes.
I am now pleased i got rid of my sloww broadband from o2 that was 2.5mb down and 512kb up this was a reliable service and was cheap but the speed is what i wanted and now i have it with infinity2 Thanks BT
speedtest link below

Nokia, well done with the 5800. Great phone! One s...

Great job with the new firmware (40) - adds a lot of nice features
A couple of minor problems/questions:
Predictive texting has had a "Previous" button since.. er.. probably the Nokia 3310.. It's incredibly useful, yet you took it away. Why would you do that? I know that I can tap my finger on the underlined word and most times get a menu of the choices so I can go back, but sometimes I end up highlighting text, moving the cursor or achieving nothing. I know I can also hammer the Next (*) button until the phone runs out of guesses and the menu appears but..
How about some smart way of going previous, like a gesture (press and hold *, then stroke upwards)
Or maybe you can show the menu right away (or make it configurable) and have * move through the menu (like Sony)
While we're talking about that menu; it's a bit unusable, moving a page at a time like it does. Everything else in the UI has a scroll bar or kinetic - how about making that consistent?
I'm still not really clear on how sometimes I can scroll a text kinetically and other times I end up highlighting a load of words.. What's the difference in terms of pressing the screen?
Dictionary gripes (I've had them for a long time, and I've raised tickets for them, you've said you'll fix them or you have already fixed them, but then you don't fix them)
1) How about, DON'T add new words into the dictionary unless they have actually been spelled in using the "spell" option - this automatic adding of words built from predictive compounding just rapidly fills the dictionary with garbage
2) If youre going to persist with the dictionary garbage filling, at least give us a dictionary editor facility so we can remove junk words again!
3) The manual says "when the dictionary is full your newly added word replaces the oldest added word" - if this is true then this is a very silly policy. New words should replace the LEAST USED word, not the oldest! No wonder I keep having to teach my dict the same words over and over (because a few bad design choices cause it it fill with garbage)
All in, it's getting better, and the texting on my 5800 seems much better than the N95, but with just a few small efforts it could be made brilliant.
How about offering alternate keyboard layouts to help attract people switching from other brands? Like Microsoft did in Word when they wanted to pull customers from Wordperfect; give them the same key combos as a reason to switch. This should be even easier now the buttons are graphical rather than plastic
An unrelated note.. on the dial screen, the button that deletes is a C character, on all other screens it is a bac arrow <- character.. Why the inconsistency?

1. Cant really help you with predictive text as I use qwerty. Try it.
2. Menu - icons still arent kinetic scrollable, hence main menu and app menu. Although it would depend on the user, since I have organized my app and main menu to have only one area unscrollable through kinetic scrolling in my phone, the games folder.
3. Kinetic scrolling in nokia goes like holding an area and moving it and letting go, like using that area as a "handle".
4. The things you mentioned wont likely reach Nokia by posting here. Nokia employees from the software department only seldom go around here as this is a user-to-user help forum, moderated by Nokia employees hired to do that job. ^_^

Well Done, Apple! iTunes 11 is Gorgeous!!

iTunes 11 is one of the most beautiful pieces of software that Apple has ever released!
I also find it to be incredibly functional!
Beauty and function is a hard combo to get right sometimes!! So grateful!!!

The "I don't like locked bootloaders" thread.

I posted this over at the Motorola forums for the Droid X, but given that VZW has a hand in crafting these decisions I think it's very relevant to post here too. While I have this stance with smartphone manufacturers, I have it with VZW too. If VZW can't make a phone available to us that's friendlier in these terms, VZW will lose a lot of business.
I know there must be quite a few of these posts and that many have been deleted. Whatever Motorola's behavior in response to my attempt to articulate my opinion as a customer will either foster constructive discussion or only further alienate "yet another customer". Customer, as in the person whom pays for Motorola's continued operations, earning reports, employee wages, etc etc etc.
I don't want to continue to opine on the obvious things (such as it is the CUSTOMER that makes this forum possible by financially supporting Motorola), I'd rather give feedback.
To put it succinctly, Motorola Mobility's behavior as a corporation has been reprehensible to me. The takedown notices for recovery software is appalling. If there is copyrighted material contained in the sbf files, why can't Motorola compromise and publicly provide sbf files sans copyrighted materials? If it's part of the design, take it out and let us obtain it in another fashion.
Let's back it up a little bit to get to how I came to be a Motorola customer in the first place, the Droid. The Droid was exceptionally well done. I loved how it worked and I loved the early Eclair access it gave me by buying it. It was also vanilla Android. It was smooth and quick to respond. It didn't contain much bloatware, everything seemed peaceful. I could also gain root access and load custom software onto it. Some things were better than others and I ended up with a device that was truly remarkable. My favorite ROM ended up being JRummy's lithium mod. It was source built from official Google software and was far superior to anything Motorola released to date. I could theme it, I could do many things with it.
When the Droid X came out I looked forward to the hardware. I was extremely disappointed with the bootloader, but a hack was inevitably released. Now we're here where Motorola has taken active steps toward penalizing people for tinkering with their phone. The bootloader being locked down again after the 2.2 OTA and no we don't even have a leaked sbf recovery to go off of.
My feedback is this, my next upgrade will come around. Based on Motorola's behavior they have made decisions that are not friendly to me. I do not like being restricted. It's as if I bought a car with the hood welded shut. I will not buy a phone that's locked down in this manner with active attempts to prevent me from installing unauthorized software. If there's one thing I like to do, it's install unauthorized software. If I want to sit there and eat jelly donuts or biscuits and gravy I darn well had better be able to even if it's not "good for me". It's my choice. Besides, if *I* approve of something to be installed on my phone that should be my own choice. It is *MY* phone. I paid for it, it's mine. The concept of restricting this for my own security is irrational to me. Especially when the only things out there are things I intentionally want to install that improve my phone (by removing Blur, for example). I also have no use for Blockbuster, I want it gone. I should be able to choose to not see the app in my drawer without having to resort to third party apps or rooting.
Thus said, unless Moto changes this behavior, my next phone will NOT be Motorola branded.
I also do not care to consider any arguments or counter points from Motorola. I don't care to what degree other phones are locked down or what the industry's general practices are. If I cannot buy a phone I can't tinker with, I won't buy a phone. Simple as that. Spare your counter points as they are hollow and without merit.

You might as well not posted if you didnt want any feed back... What was the point of this post?
The point seems to be a massive "WAAAHHH!" Seriously, the locked bootloader is a non-issue. If you cannot "tinker" with your Droid X currently, Motorola did you a favor as I'm fairly certain you would have it bricked on your first attempt. If you know what you are doing, the locks in place are a non-issue. They were cracked within a couple of days of release.

Satellite U500-1F5: eco and FN buttons don't work after BIOS update

Hi everyone,
I hope i can find a solution for my problems in here.
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite U500 (PSU9ME),
I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.
Last week I received an alert to updat the BIOS and i did it. since then i noticed the following problems:
1. eco utility is not working, and when i tried to uninstall it it says (BIOS unsupported)
2. the on screen funtion buttons that appear on the top of the screen when you press the Fn button does not apear anymore
3. the touchpad lock and unlock button does not work and even pressing Fn+F9 doesnot lock it
I hope u can give me an answer regarding my problems,
I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value added packege from toshiba site and installed them,
BUT
didnt solve any of my prob
still eco utility is not working. The msg (unsupported BIOS), appear when i run the update.
The function buttons bar on the top of the screen not working ( even after i uninstall the toshiba value package and re-install the latest one) and the touch back lock/unlock button also is not working.
I hope Toshiba can find me a solution, coz I dont have the time to go the service center
Model U500-1F5 PSU9ME00D00XAR
Windows 7 (64)
Thanx in advance

Hello
At first just one comment:
*I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.*
Thats nice but definitely not necessary. When the system runs well, don't touch or change anything. Maybe sounds stupid now but I recommend you to remove TEMPRO from the system. Believe me you don't need it. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and still original BIOS. It runs perfectly and I don't want to make risk and change anything. Since last month I have Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. Tempro is already removed and I am happy with factory settings.
All you have done is OK but at least you can try to reinstall whole OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at start-up) to see if everything will works well again. sorry but if this will not help I think you need BIOS downgrade to old version.

Well Done !!
