What is Applecare saying about RSD?

Now that the RSD problem was acknowledged by Apple, and that they are telling people to call Applecare if it happens, can someone tell us what they are saying when you call?
Thx.

I called last night and the apple care rep told me "you qualify for a new logic board" I asked about the heat sink problem of which she had no info. She said she hadn't heard many RSD complaints.
I think the answer you get really depends on who you talk to at Applecare. Hopefully, though, the repair depot has a standard stance on this. I'd be really disappointed to have the macbook returned with a new logic board, no new heatsink and recurring RSD. I'll only be in the United States for 3 weeks and I'm really hoping they get my macbook fixed correctly during this time, because otherwise I'm going to have a loooong wait for international shipping and it seems that Thai mac service is a bit behind the latest reapair news. I'll hope for the best. With Apple we deserve nothing less

What does apple say about maintaining a macbook pro?

Where can I find apple's maintenance advice on caring for a macbook pro? I would like honest advice about how to get my laptop running fast again. I would also like to know what the facts are about permissions and why I have 5 that will not remain repaired despite the utility telling me they are repaired but further verification shows they are still not correct or have been undone. If anyone could send me a link to a good website that is not trying to sell me third party software that would be really appreciated. Also, if anyone has information on why laptops slow down in general that would be helpful.
Lastly, if anyone can solve my reoccuring permission annoyance I would be very appreciative:

For those of u with screen flicker, what did applecare say

I noticed an ever so slight flicker a couple of weeks ago; only a few times, randomly, and so little that i would think to myself "did the screen just flash" (it was infact, cause i would stare at it for a few seconds afterwards and it would keep doing it) now i was using it and a a pretty dramatic very noticable screen flash, and im afriad of the problem getting worse.
i know there are a hundred threads about this, and this isnt for people to come in and say "yeahh mine does that too" i want to know some experiences of people who have taken this to a genius ar and what they have said

I have a standard week 51 White C2D Macbook and everything is still fine, no whine, no moo, no discoloration, no flickering.
The dvd is quiet, i hear the fan's only when the book gets on it's hottest, wich is 72c, average temp is 48-50 with a 1793 rpm fan.
I only accepted it with one tiny dead pixel, wich i didn't bother, cause my wallpaper is always dark.
Last year(it was june i suppose) i bought a white 1,83 CD, this one had a broken topcase and i returned it to the apple reseller as a DOA, then I decided to buy a black one, wich was getting as hot as can be, you could cook an egg on the bottom for instance. So also DOA, the third one was having kernel panics all the time but not at the store while our genius was inspecting the damned thing(you'll see, that will always happen (**** i mean)).
So, new year, new chances, again I choose a white one, cause the black had so many fingerprints on it, I would be probably arrested for something.

What's Apple saying about the 34 admitted errors in Intel CPUs?

I'm reading a lot about Core Duo and Core Solo errors. 34 of them. Intel intends to fix just one of them.
I'm yet to find an Apple article on the issue.
I had been contemplating adding an Intel Mac to my stable but I'm pretty certain I'll not be rushing into this until Apple makes a statement to relieve my concerns.
PMG5 2x2.5 +30 Cinema Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I'm not so sure. Owners of new Intel Macs
certainly appear to be having problems.
Those problems are unrelated to the flaws in the Core Duo.
Processor flaws are "normal", you can't build a chip with several million transistors on it without there being a few problems. That said, the flaws are really edge cases and you'd have to be doing something downright weird to encounter most of them.
It's also worth noting that more than half of the flaws can only be encountered if the processor is in debug mode.
I'll wait for the Apple statement.
I very much doubt you'll get one. They didn't release a statement for the 24 known flaws in the G5 or the 36 known flaws in the G4.
If you hold off buying a computer because the processor has flaws then you'll never buy a computer.
I suspect what's happened here is that a journalist who doesn't understand what's going on found an Intel errata sheet and started yelling about the sky falling. Since most people never hear about these flaws they assume that they're indicative of a broken design. The truth is that nothing is out of the ordinary, there is nothing to be worried about.

What Gartner is saying about Oracle Forms

An interesting post here:
https://blogs.oracle.com/grantronald/entry/gartner_report_on_oracle_forms

Could they be more vague? :-) The trouble with the industry now is its fragmenting terribly.
"Migrate next-generation development projects to industry-dominant technologies (for example, Java, Microsoft .NET and open-source software) to align with industry best practices in the future."
I was surprised to hear it is a widespread opinion that dot net is on its way out and MS is allegedly moving towards
c++ . Must we always be going from one on its way out thing to another? Both java and dot net are very aged. So that leaves "open-source software"? I don't think they have much credibility with that level of vagueness.
I'm thinking javascript is up and coming. That's about the only clear leader technology I see.

What will you say about Macbook Air 11

Is it a good computer? ...

If you're referring to the MBair 2011 then yes, it's a very good computer. I have one and am totally satisfied.

I updated to Firefox 5 and now have problems with it not responding ALOT and also even though I have certian sites listed to allow popups they dont work on several sites I use daily. What can I do about this?

I dont know what else to say about it. I updated and now all this is happening and it didnt before my update to Firefox5. I have several site I use daily and I have gone in and marked them to allow popups and they just dont work. The sites are My Yearbook...Kia Financeing...and a few more. And also I am finding that I get a no response a lot!

I am sorry you are not in a position to replace the iPad. It is stating the obvious, but nothing lasts forever - especially something like an original iPad. IMHO, there is nothing you can do to address the issues you have posted about.

How much info about the cache-cluster does the client have and What would you recommend about putting the cluster behind virtual ip

Hi,
I will appreciate if someone can point me to some documentation as to how app-fabric client library accesses the app-fabric cluster.
What I have found so far is that the list of hosts provided in the client configuration are used as an entry point into the Cache-Cluster. By connecting to one of hosts, the client will download information about all the hosts constituting the cluster.
Since a named cache is distributed across the entire cluster, and the data can be stored on any node. How does the client decide which node it should connect to, to get the data from. Does the client have enough information to know which host has the data
or the client will connect to one of the nodes, if the node has data, it will serve it otherwise redirect the client to the node that has the data.
I also would like to know what do you say about the idea that we would like to put our cache-cluster behind a virtual ip, so that if needed, we can take down nodes or add more nodes. In fact the virtual ip will that of a load balancer, but we don't plan to
use it for load balancing purposes but the idea is that the client will have the virtual ip address and we can repoint this IP address, if we need to take out a node for maintenance reason.

I'm not sure about the reason for putting the cache servers in a VIP, but one of the reasons why the cache servers should be made known to the servers is because of auto load balancing and throughput
Imagine i have 10 cache servers running on 1G ethernet links, theoretically i have 10G usable bandwidth and the clients will be able to manage and load balance if any of the cache server fails or have performance issues
Now if all these were parked behind a VIP
1. The LB now does the load balancing, which may not be optimal
2. The LB may not have 10G upstream and 10G downstream, even if it has, this is quite a waste of resource\

My rue la la app for ipad suddenly dosent work so I deleted it now when I try to reinstall it the app store says that it not available in the us. It is still on my Iphone and working properly. What is this all about?

My rue la la app for ipad stopped working. I deleted the app and tried to reinstall it, it is no longer available in the app store and when I research it on safari and find it when i try to install it says that it is not available in the us store. What is that all about?

My app did the exact same thing. It is still unavailable on the App Store and when Rue La La's site directs you to download their app, the "not available in the U.S. message appears. This happened to me last night. The app wasn't working, I deleted it and was just going to reinstall but was unable to find the app. I figured it was some glitch but I have tried multiple times this afternoon to no avail.

So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

Workarounds:
1. Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
2. Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
3. Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
4. The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about?

My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about? Any ideas on how to resolve this.

Looks like the Sim card had a catastrophic failure. Burnout, short somethng like that.
You can try to take out the tray and reseat the sim card inside and see if that gets it back.
Also try resetting the phone at least once by holding down the home and power buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
If none of this works you'll have to contact your cell carrier to get a new sim card, as it probably fried and is no longer functional.

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected go to the iPod Summary tab and make sure "manually manage music and videos" is checked:
