being a webmaster for some sites, i must say, that the scenario you are explaining is NOT the trouble of the browser but the trouble of the one who wrote the code to generate the website ... <br/>'s are not at all the best way to separate texts ... if people only would know, how to write correct css' and use things only for things, they are intendend to be (on some sites, when i look at the code, i must think of analogies like using a hammer to open a computer case :twisted: )

I don't use kde, I use wmi, so whenever I have to start a kde app, it
takes forever, and they don't really go along well with wmi in general.
here i agree with you ... kde has some momentum, but some of the apps are really usefull! i think, that the main problem is the QT, that is not designed the same way like e.g. gtk2 ... it is _very_ easy to write qt apps (because of the api, the docs and other usefull helpfull stuff) but still i'm thinking, that if i find some time, i will port konqueror to gtk2 (this will need a lot of time, because the kdelibs are NOT running natively gtk2 and konqueror is using a lot of stuff out of kdelibs)
for the startup of kde-apps: you can start kdeinit in advance (e.g. in a script in background at startup of X --- the way i use it), so that some things are preloaded and kde-apps will start much faster than before (because there is no need to init the kde basic stuff, as it is already in ram) --- however, this is only recomendend, if you can spare ~44mb of ram ;-)
i really like wmi ... that's why i have it installed on any machine i need to mainain .... but for some things, it just look too "small" on a 15" UXGA screen (very small pixels) ... here xfce is the alternative: it is fast, gtk2 and has a wm that has elementar but nice window titles/borders, that are customizable if someone would make wmi use gtk2 for some things (in some way like a wrapper) and use bigger things (bigger fonts for a start), it would be the reason to use wmi for daily work

Most likely because they are not apps. They are background processes the OS is runnning.
I would expect as the owner to have some sort of explanation of who the 3rd party is, why there apps are apprearing on your ipad without permission, and maybe the ramifications of taking off or at least turning them off. Its not rocket science, people. It really about our rights as pople, right???
I suggest you sell your iPad and not worry about it any longer.

What are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac

what are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac?

While I can't recommend any brand of camera, you should consider a couple of things about the editing... iMovie 8 is a good program to use if you just need to create something quickly with little real editing and sound manipulation. And iM 8 will interface with both DV tape cameras as well as hard disk/flash drive types as well. You can export the product to web services, etc very easily but it will take some extra effort to create a DVD from the edited shots. There is no direct export to iDVD.
If you want to get more serious about editing, you should consider looking iMovie 6 as it has much more flexibility in rearranging clips, adding and editing sounds, etc. However, it will only interface with DV tape cameras, which by the way, are the highest quality pics available, and you can create DVD disks.
You might try borrowing a tape camera to make a test run and compare it to a camera that uses a HD for storage. Use iM 8 and compare to ease, etc, and the product to one created in iM 6. This certainly is not the kind of recommendation you are asking for, but maybe will help in making your decision about which way to go.

Whats a good app that backups your settings, apps?

What is a good app that I can use to backup my stuff on the thunderbolt? I head whenever we start getting the update that it will wipe all your apps? Is there any backup apps that I can use? I really dont wanna go back and redue everything.

unless something goes wrong during your download or install, the update will not wipe anything. if you use google to sync your contacts or backup assistant, then they are safe. also, google knows what apps you have already bought so you can retrive those as well. i don't backup my apps because it's just not that big of a deal to me to simply go to the market and download them all again (if you actually had to reset your device). even if you back them up, you will have to reinstall them if they were lost. i wouldn't worry too much about it.

What are the apps featured in the new iPhone 5 TV AD?

The new ad for iphone 5 featured a terrific apps for singers, please help me to find what apps are. Are those apps goor for ipad as well?

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

Apex version control: what are "good practices"?

I have made my first Apex application that is been tested right now. Once this version is released, I should want to have a stable and robust versioning system for this application. I don't have any experience with this. So any info about this issue would be very welcome. Are there some good practice rules I should follow? What are things to watch out for? Etc... Some things I'd like to be able to do:
1. Have version numbers assigned to the application
2. Have update scripts to go from one version to the next. (If possible have update scripts to go to the latest version, whatever the current version is.)
3. Rollback to a previous version of the application
4. See te differences between different versions of the appliction
I also would like the same for the database schema.
Any help would be very welcome...

Here how I do it:
Each Apex application has a unique version number in the format Major Release Number / Minor Release Number / Patch Release Number e.g.
Version 1.3.2
Each object and build script are separate files, with their own version number and stored in a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) e.g. Subversion. The version number, author, description, date, change history are commented into the header of each script.
Each Release on CD is also given a unique sequential number so that different releases of the same version can be tracked through test. Each CD Release will usually consist of an application export, object scripts and a build script. The CD image is also checked into the CMDB.
If an application is going to distributed as a packaged application or installed on multiple environments then each release is a full build. For single instances, the builds are incremental.

What are good maintenance apps for Mac mini

What is a good free app for the Mac mini for maintenance?

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of problems with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. Cleaning caches is not an end in itself.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

What are good suggestions regarding Password Protection programs for Apple?

I'm looking to implement a Password Protection file/system throughout my Apple world (iMac, iPhone, iPad) and was wondering what is the strongest/user friendly programs available for Apple stuff.
GR

I've been very happy with 1Password, which has apps for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android. You can share a single password file via Dropbox, making it easy to manage all your passwords as well as secure notes, credit card information, and other such private info. There are other similar utilities that others may recommend, but I've found no reason to switch.
