What is your theory on what happened with ASUS Transformer Prime and BB?

This is my theory:
First preorder batch 11/22:
BB opened up for preorders based on expected date of anticipated 12/9 ship date. The buyers at BB that orders from vendors did not buy any preorder stock from ASUS in Champagne on first order. I gotta bleive that the reason that the Champagne prime is not shipping from BB is a "buyer" error. They filled their first allotment of preorders. That is why BB shiped out grey from the first wave of preorders. Other vendors got both- why did BB only get grey? The buyers always think they know what we want or will order and only ordered grey in the request to ASUS. They got caught with their pants down when Amazon cancelled the orders on 12/2 and EVERYONE affected jumped on BB.com and ordered the champagne which was available as the next wave.
Amazon fallout 12/2:
Best buy opened up another set of preorder allotment - 2nd wave, and got hit hard real fast with preorders that they were not prepared for, or had stock for.
ASUS is filling initial preorder requests from the resellers in the order that the resellers requested too. BB was offering that in the next wave of preorders, but they probably took too many orders at once, and they put in another order to ASUS around the 12/9 delay ship date and ASUS was not taking them at that time (delays due to Wifi reported) .
ASUS 12/9 wifi report delay in shiping:
ASUS was cought in a delay with reports of wifi range problems and either stopped taking orders, or recallled/replaced shipment with others. Once ASUS took orders again from the reseller they are shipping daily based on the preorder backlog. Asus is responsible for the delay in accepting orders from vendors, and BB had a buyer error, by either waiting too long to put in the first wave of orders, or not ordering enough, and now they are in the back of the vendor reseller line waiting on ASUS to get to them.
12/19:
The date of irst ship came and BB shipped all it ordered from first wave and could not get anymore from ASUS in the second wave to cover the Amazon fallout system overload. They were left in the back of the line of all other vendors becuse no reseller could get a second next wave fulfillment until all others got their first waves fulfilled. The 12/9 delay kept next waves from being fulfilled, and that is why inventory is trickling into the other resellers and BB can only get a few more at a time. BB ordered champagne on a next wave delay.
The thing that bugs me in to no end is how is a person that ordered grey on 11/28 at BB still on backorder, but a 12/05 grey order has shipped and delivered?? This is not ASUS fault, That is poor business operations on BB.
That is my "perfect storm" theory- what do you think? What is your theory?

That is pretty close to what I think happened.
It does seem pretty clear that Best Buy never initially ordered and Champagne Primes. I have combed through the threads at this site and others and haven’t seen one person receive a Champagne Prime from BB. Meanwhile people who bought from other resellers like New Egg and Amazon have received Champagne Primes.
The mismanagement of shipping out orders chronologically has to be maddening for the people who ordered the Grey Primes. I do feel for these people that ordered the same exact product before others who now have their Prime, but will still don’t have their items.
The communication from Best Buy had been terrible. Screwing up the orders in the 2 examples are somewhat forgivable to me, but the miscommunication and what seems to be deceitfulness that Best Buy has exhibited is not. They just seem not to care about the customer any more. From my experience, prior to the release I was lead to believe my order would be ready to ship on 12/18. Then it went on backorder with no real reason why. Two (12/18 and 12/22) of three calls to customer service reps indicated that my Champagne Prime would still arrive by today (12/23), with the other call rep (12/20) saying she basically had no when my item would be in. Then yesterday afternoon a post from a customer care rep on these boards confirming that I am basically hosed because I choose BB to fulfill my Prime preorder.

Sample data above and below is the dataype for each one of them
alpha datatype- string
beta datatype-integer
gamma datatype-integer
col1,col2,col3 are all string datatypes.
Note:columns are not unique and we would be using alpha,beta,gamma to uniquely identify a record .Now as you see my sample data this is in a table which doesnt have index .I would like to have a index created covering these columns (alpha,beta,gamma) .I
beleive that creating clustered index having covering columns will be better.
What would you recommend the index type should be here in this case.Say data volume is 1 milion records and we always use the alpha,beta,gamma columns when we filiter or query records

Many thanks for your explanation .
When I tried querying using the below query on my heap table the sql server suggested to create NON CLUSTERED INDEX INCLUDING columns ,[beta],[gamma] ,[col1]
,[col2] ,[col3]
SELECT [alpha]
,[beta]
,[gamma]
,[col1]
,[col2]
,[col3]
FROM [TEST].[dbo].[Test]
where [alpha]='10100'
My question is why it didn't suggest Clustered INDEX and chose NON clustered index ?

HI Emmet,
thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
i hope that helps anyone out there also!
Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.
Thanks again, much appreciated.

Whenever I run Firfox 4.0, my computer fan runs continuously. I have disabled all plug-ins, and I get the same result. This did not happen with Firefox 3.x, and it doesn't happen with IE 8.0. Any ideas?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Remote Desktop Access with Mac and Asus Transformer Prime

I have an E2000 router with the most current firmware. I have a Sony VAio laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit,a Macbook with 10.6.8, and a new Asus Transformer Prime with ICS.My work desktop is a Dell Optiplex 380 with Windows 7 Pro 32bit. I frequently work from home and have no issues remoting into to my work PC from by Sony laptop via VPN and RDP.However I have never been able to connect successfully to my work PC with my Macbook(using Remote Desktop Connection 2.1 for Mac OS) or Asus tablet(using WYSE Pocket Cloud RDP app for Android). I can however connect to the VPN itself on the Macbook and tablet without issue same as my Windows laptop. The other interesting part is I can connect via RDP when I am connected to a Mi-Fi 3g hotspot. So it is definitely something in the my Linksys E2000 blocking the connection for some reason. I have even set Port forwarding of 3389 with the ip's of both the Macbook and Asus tablet.I have also tried connecting via ethernet to the router with the same outcome. I cannot ping my work pc from either device as well.In addition the firewall on my work PC is completely disabled and all services related to Remote desktop access are enabled and running.Does anyone have any ideas?

For my tablet its own ip assigned by the router. Same with the macbook.the Pocketcloud RDP app also uses 3389.I have port 3389 set for both internal and external port and protocol "both" under the Single Port Forwarding tab in the router config.

What is the difference between Ipad Air with code MD787B/A and MD787FD/A??

Hi - what is the difference between Ipad Air with the code MD787B/A and MD787FD/A ??

You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region.
What country does my device belong to?

When I print an email using firefox as my browser the print if very, very tiny. No problem using Internet Explorer. This happens with both my Gmail and my AOL emails.

My emails are printing in very tiny type (unreadable). This happens in both my Gmail and AOL email accounts. When I use internet explorer it doesn't happen. I have researched the answers online and it seems that if I go to Firefox>file>page setup>scale and set it to 100% it may fix the problem. However, I cannot figure out how to take the first step. Where can I find "file"????
Sorry to be such a dummy.

1. orange Firefox button in the upper-left corner - then click on Print - then click on Page Setup
2. if that orange Firefox button isn't showing and the Menu bar is - click to open File - then click to open Page Setup

Problems with Asus Xonar D2X and DMIX

Hello,
i have a problem with my ASUS Xonar D2X and DMIX. It is not possible for me to change the "defaults.pcm.dmix.format" in /usr/share/alsa my audio/video/youtube files are always playing with "format: S32_LE" (defaults.pcm.dmix.rate is working fine). On my other rig with an Onboard Realtek Soundcard i dont have this problem. Iam also using on a extern DAC.
Please help me.

If it only needs 12V, you could use one of the auxiliary power connectors in the PCI bay. See Figure 1

You can get the connector from this cable

What is your system for keeping up with CC bills?

After an auto loan in November, and almsot all baddies falling off my report my scores climbed considerably. Since I am rebuilding, I have opened several cards (QS1, First Premier, Shell Gas Card, Amazon Store Card, WalMart Card, Goodyear). This is quite an influx of new monthly bills. To be honest, I'm paranoid about missing a payment. The money isn't a problem, but I dont want it to slip my mind. What organizational systems are ya'll using to keep up with them all? I am not an organized person really, but I do want to keep everything in order so that I NEVER miss a payment!

I don't use it but I would recommend to any that would find it a useful safety net.Infinite universe theory senor, it might be decades from now or perhaps never for you as an individual but people do forget payments even on this forum and we're way better statistically than the average I would suggest. If it costs you nothing other than a few mouse clicks, and it protects against you or someone else's doing something sloppy later, why not do it? What is the downside? Possible NSF fee if you overdraw your checking account? Would suggest that's a bigger problem than forgetfulness, we're only talking autopaying the minimums on CC's just to cover the due date. I'm in agreeance that auto pay should be set up. There's no downside except taking the few seconds (and mouse clicks as revelate so eloquently puts it) to set up. The downside of not setting up auto pay could create havoc to someone with stellar credit, or take a few steps back from a dedicated rebuilder.

What allows your clips to be alligned with the play head in FCP

Whats that shortcut key if you hold shift or something it will allign your clips together? I am having to make copies of the audio and then allign them with the original and it is slightly off and it is a pain going in and making sure their perfectly alligned! HELP!

Select the audio,
Then press option (in order to COPY) and Click drag on the clip.
And then WHILE DRAGGING release Option and PRESS SHIFT (which makes sure you will not shift in time)
Drag to desired track (you'll see a yellow notification stating: 00:00:00, to show you how much you shifted compared to the original, so '0' in this case).
Release mouse, release Shift.
Done

When using Yahoo for email, the symbols for spellcheck, edit and fontsize are blank. If I hold the arrow over the space, it will show me what it is. This only happens with Mozilla, but works fine with Att.

Where the B and i and other things are showing here are blank when
I bring up Yahoo mail.

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

What's happening with the RTX8088 phones and the 7/7/15 Skype for Windows update?

RTX8088 Skype Dual phone

I've never heard of the RTX8088. I have heard of the RTX4088. A dual-phone that doesn't require a computer is a stand-alone device. It doesn't require a version of the Desktop or Modern Skype software. Even the USB tethered ones that do utilize the desktop version. There isn't one that operates on the modern version of Skype. The discontinuation of modern Skype would have no affect on a dual phone or a USB tethered phone.

TS1559 still no solution for greyed out wifi and bluetooth - what to do? been messing around with it for weeks and now discover I'm just outside of warranty period? WHAT?

I am in such a predicament - phone not been quite right since the 6.1 update and I was tolerating the inconvenience of switching off and on etc etc for the past couple of months and now the wifi and bluetooth are totally greyed out all the time - did every restore possible including back to factory settings - still no luck - please don't tell me that trying all the solutions over the past 2 months that temporarily worked for a few days at a time will now mean I have timed myself out of the 1 year warranty? arghhhhh (I can't believe that such an issue will create the response 'oh well, your problem - best just buy another one' ???)
I can't just drop everything and drive to the apple store and wait for hours every time there's a 'glitch' otherwise I may as well move nextdoor to the mall. They tell you to try and solve it yourself first - which I did - and now it's not responding to anything I try, will I be told - 'too late, out of warranty'???
I see theres an update for the iphone 5 that fixes wifi bugs - what about us 4s owners? even my 3 year old 3gs is still working on wifi (haven't dared to update it!) so don't start telling me to expect that the iphone will only last 13 months - NOT AT $600 a piece
This is madness and driving me crazy
Please has anyone had any luck fixing this problem???

well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!
