What bluetooth headset would you recommend ?

Hi,
I currently own a Jabra BT8040 but want to change it with one of the following Nokia headset:
BH-902
BH-602
BH-703
BH-803
However I don't really know which one to choose. For the last hours I've been reading a number of reviews on the web as well as some discussion on this Nokia forum.
It is my understanding that the BH-703 is the newest one in the above list.
Although I spend a lot of time on the phone, 8 hours of talk time is more than acceptable for me.
However I need a good sound because sometimes I'm calling from my car, and most of the time I have business calls in the office, where I have other colleagues also on the phone (open office), hence I do not want to be to much limited with a volume limitation on the headset.
I like the BH-902 because we don't need to take the phone to look at who is calling us, this is really great, however I don't know how confortable it is for confcalls running 1 hour.
The BH-602 has the highest autonomy however it seems to be the oldest one. I I don't need 11 hours of talk time.
From your experience, which one would you recommend for business usage ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Solved!

Hi,
I think my pick would the Nokia BH-902 headset. It has a nice set of features including - close-fitting control with the in-the-ear plug and optional ear hook - as stated on the product page.
But still the decision to be made is yours.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

What Bluetooth mouse would you recommend for machines running Snow Leopard

I'm looking for one and I'd like to hear suggestions from people.

As far as ergonomics are concerned, it's pretty subjective. It depends on the size of your hand and the position your prefer to hold the mouse in use.
For me, the Magic Mouse is not ergonomically weak at all. I find it very comfortable, just the right weight for pushing around a mouse mat, and the touch surface / buttons work very well.
Best thing to do is visit an Apple Store and try one out for as long as possible, and make up your own mind.
Almost 30% of Mac users in the MacWorld poll below use a Magic Mouse, so it's found a lot of users in a small amount of time.

I Mini with an i7 processor. I would like to use Boot Camp to install windows based CAD software on my MAC. Would it be better to use a plugin external hard drive to load my software on and if so what hard drive would you recommend?

Thank you for your quick response. I can then use a ZIP drive for data storage. I want to keep as much of my hard drive free of data as possible.

Web page video - what file type would you recommend?

I've stood up a web page for selling things (house, musical instrument, chipper-shredder, rent an apartment, etc.) and would like to have a few videos included. The plan is to save the video on the server and not use hyperlinks to places like vimeo and youtube. For one thing, vimeo doesn't allow a basic member to use their site for selling things.
A. Screen view size: I would like something, say, 2.5 to 3 inches high X whatever width the proportion would be (4:5 or 16:9), minimum.
B. Resolution: Most of what I've recorded is in 1440CBR but reducing the quality to keep the file size small is VERY important. I'm not looking for Full Hi-Def, just something that gets the message across.
C. It is very desirable for the visitor to be able to start viewing the video as soon after clicking on the hyperlink as possible. If they have to wait for a few MegaBytes to be downloaded they probably won't stick around. Also, there will be no advertising on my web page which should be nice.
D. The file format should be viewable by both Macs and PCs. Questions:
1. Is *.mp4 H.264 the most universal format?
2. Should I "Share" to a QuickTime format and assume the PC users will have QuickTime on their machine?
3. FCPx uses the "Share" menu in order to Export. What would you recommend for a Share setting (file type) so it will do what I would like to do?
Is there anything I left out that would be good to know???
Editorial comment: This has been a total struggle.
My resources:
FCPX 10.0.3 (have not updated yet. Waiting until the dust settles)
MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 5,1 2.53 8GB memory Lion
MacPro 1,1 Lion
Passport drive: 1TB for video storage
MacBook White 1,1 (for email and Internet surfing) 10.6.8

Hi again,
I'm happy with the Audioengine 5 which I have on the computer desk about 2' ~ 3'
away so I'd call them 'near field'. You should have a shelf on your desk so the speakers are roughly at your head height. I'm also using a 12" Velodyne powered sub in this set-up which sits on the floor to my right.
here are some 'home' studio designs:

What case/cover would you recommend?

Hi,
I've been looking into iphone case covers like the ones advertised in iskin.com and case-mate.com . Those two are advertised in the Macworld magazine. These are the slip covers that the iphone "wears" around its sides for added protection etc.
Does anyone have any hands-on experience with any of these already? Or would you recommend another, completely different brand?
I have an 8gb Iphone if that makes any difference.
Many Thanks for any suggestions,...Frank B.

I ordered the iskin revo case last week when it first went on sale. It just arrived today and I am very impressed. This is the 4th case I tried and I think the revo is nearly perfect. The silicon is of very high quality and adds some much needed grip to the iphone as well as some more shock and impact protection. I don't know about the plastic screen shield it comes with, it is supposed to stay on and then you take it off and it clings to the back while you are using the iphone, I probably won't use it. Another thing I really like is that it covers all the ports, some people mentioned it looked like it covers the headphone port totally. Well this is true, but the piece over it peals right back giving you instant access and it is still covered when not in use in your pocket, I was starting to notice a lot of dust build up in there but now it is covered so that is nice. It also comes with a dock cover that isn't attached but I will probably use also.
If you want a nice case I say this is the best, I got another silicone case that was cheap feeling and didn't fit very tightly. The revo fits tight and feels great, and it won't be covered in dust, it also still allows the light and proxy sensors to work while in the case. Only draw back is that if you want to use the dock you have to remove the case, but I don't see that as much of a negative. It is worth the price.

What Mac specs would you recommend for a CS major (GHz, Flash Memory, etc)?

So, I'm starting college in the fall as a computer science major. I have decided to choose a Macbook Pro with Retina Display as my weapon of choice. The only remaining questions I have before I order pertain specifically to GHz and Flash Memory. I saw that for about $250, you could upgrade your processor from 2.7 GHz to 2.8 GHz, and for $400 extra you could upgrade your flash memory. To be honest, and this is an embarrassing confession for a CS student to make, but I really have no clue what either of those things do to the computer, and what impact they have. Before I ask you what you'd recommend, let me give a little more information.
Because I'm a CS major, the kind of work I would most likely be using the computer for involves creating iPhone apps, building websites, and building desktop apps using Cocoa or Qt. Now, I'm not sure how big these project files usually are on Macs, but I have done some programming before on Windows and know that they do have the ability to get rather large. My previous programming environments have included a Windows 7 Lenovo desktop PC with 1 TB of internal memory, and a Dell laptop running Linux Ubuntu with 2GB of internal memory and a 2.26 Intel Core Duo processor (runs much slower..).
So, I guess my ultimate question is, is the extra $250 or $400 really worth it? Would I be able to get by without spending all the extra cash?
Oh, and as for screen resolution, I was thinking 15 inch, due to the fact that this will most likely be my primary computer at college. Is that a good call as well?

The CPU upgrade is only worth it for applications where the CPU is specifically the bottleneck. These days, not many are. The amount of RAM, the GPU, and the speed of storage often play into overall application speed.
You might want to check with upperclassmen in your program, though, because it is possible that some programming environments might benefit from it when compiling or something.
But for most people, $250 for another 0.1 GHz is a bad deal. On the 15-inch it is paying 9% more to boost CPU by just 4%.
If the storage starts at 512MB, that is a lot of space for most people. The $400 is for SSD storage which is expensive (compared to traditional spinning hard disks) so you'd better need it. The two questions to ask yourself are, do you need to carry everything around all the time, or can you keep some on an external drive? Because $400 would buy you a 4TB external drive with money left over. The second question is does that storage need to be SSD fast? If yes, then maybe the upgrade is good. If no, then you'd paying a lot more for much faster storage than you need.

15 inch is a screen size, not a screen resolution. One way to think about it is, do you expect to be using one screen-filling window at a time, or seeing lots of app windows at a time? The 13-inch is a better size for single window work, but the 15-inch is better for spreading out your workspace with multiple windows and panels.

Which headset would you recommend to go with SoundBlaster Z

Hi,
I've bought SoundBlaster Z about a year ago, and i am looking for some nice headset to go with it for the best sound experience. I currently have Fatal1ty, which ceases to suffice.
There are either Tactic3D series, which have very tempting 3D sound feature, but there are also EVO series, which seem to be better for overall sound experience.
I intend to use the headset universally for anything from gaming to music listening, so i do not know which is better compromise.
I also heard Fatal1ty headset I currently own has limited 3D sound emulation, and I indeed hear hints of three dimensional sound when playing games, and it sounds indeed convincing. So I am not sure if EVO headset is capable of this too, or if it's just a placebo...

The Tactic3D shouldn't make much difference as you already have a Sound Blaster Z that can create the 3D effect (turn on SBX Surround, set your game to surround mode, set Windows to 5.1 speakers and set the SBX control panel to headphones). Any high quality headset will suffice.
I do not have experience with headsets (I use one UE900 in-ear), but people like those from Sennheiser. How much are you willing to expend?

What audio interface would you recommend for Garageband?

I'm a new Garageband user, and I would love to have some help in choosing an audio interface for.
Is there an interface that is widely considered the "garageband interface"? Are there interfaces for Garageband that have phantom power?
I'm looking for something that is reasonable in price. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I'm another "I'd stay away from Behringer" person!
For an inexpensive Garagebandy interface, I'd check out M-Audio and PreSonus.

What financial software would you recommend?

I just migrated from a PC (Windows 7) to a MBA. I have about 3 years of Quicken 2004 data in QDF format and I'm looking to get them imported into a reliable and solid financial program. I've heard that Quicken Essentials and Quicken for Mac are pretty much horrible so I guess that route is a no go.
Here are the features I need:
Ability to import QDF files
Ability to customize categories
Ability to add bank accounts/investment accounts/asset and liability accounts
Ability to backup and export data
That's what I'm looking for right now.
Now, I'm deciding between Mint and iBank:
Mint
- free (can't beat that)
- has supposedly rave reviews
- doesn't have customizeable reviews
- can't import old Quicken data
- everything stored online so potential risk there
- inability to backup/download data
iBank
- at a first glance, can do everything I need
- but is expensive ($60)
- and user reviews are quite "meh" (3/5) stars
Well, what are your thoughts and is there any other software that I should consider?

If you do a search, I have noted much disastifaction with the alternatives to Quicken: iBank and Mint:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22752265#22752265
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22732017#22732017
Quicken Essentials is reported as horrible; Quicken for Mac - not so much!
Depending on how you use your Windows version, Quicken for Mac may be just fine for your needs.
For $15, why not just try it:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
You will have to EXPORT your Windows Accounts in QIF and then set them up in Mac and then import the QIF file.
You could always continue with Quicken for Windows with Windows installed in Bootcamp or Parallels.

What web host would you recommend?

I've found out that my provider godaddy dosen't fully support flash. If anyone knows of ay low cost providers that don't disable anything Flash let me know.

I've been using Adobe software since the 80's. The first piece of software they made was Illustrator developed specifically for the Macintosh, followed by the mighty Photoshop. Windows versions didn't arrive 'til years later and even then they were crappy cut-down versions. Adobe have always developed software aimed for the Mac platform.

I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

What kind of camcorder would you recommend for FCE HD 3.5?

Hello everyone,
I'm very new here and have been trying to search for the answer to my question without having to bug anyone, but now I am under the gun, as it were.
I need to purchase something within a week and a half and would truly appreciate suggestions from anyone here. Here are a list of my questions and I hope you all will be kind of enough to help me. Thank you in advance.
1- I would prefer a camcorder that records to a DVD, but if tape is way better, please let me know.
2- I see that FCE does not support AVCHD. What other pitfalls are there to avoid in purchasing a camcorder that is compatible with FCE HD?
3- My dream is to have a camcorder that can record in 24p, but can't seem to determine whether FCE HD can support it. Please help!
4- Am willing to pay more for CCD sensor range - is this helping?
5-Would like to shoot in 16:9 ratio and with lines of resolution of 720 and higher, this possible with FCE?
5- With the questions above...what camcorder would you recommend?
I know some of the camcorders that have these features are ranging from $900 to over $1,000 but would consider it a good investment for things I would like to do in the future.
I hope the information I've given is enough for you all to give your suggestions. Thank you again.

They are not bad - just unsuitable for FCE and all good editing programs.
There are several totally different kinds of Digital Video - many people mistakenly think all "digital" is the same.
DVD, Flash Memory or Hard Disk camcorders produce video in a version of the MPEG format.
FCE etc. only handles video in the DV or QT format which is totally different from MPEG.
One analogy would be to buy a diesel powered car and then find that all the filling stations in your area only had petrol (gasolene) pumps. Your car would be pretty useless !
The only way MPEG can be used in FCE is by converting it to DV or QT which wastes time or money and results in slightly reduced quality.
All these cameras are produced for the mass market (where the money is), to be used by people with no knowledge or interest in film-making or editing.
