What's the verdict on those "bumpers?"

Many of you might remember I started the post last year about the inside of the black bumper (that was the only color I had) scratching/marking up the stainless steel on my iPhone 4! I was attacked immediately and was told I was making it up and then finally others started coming to my defense admitting "YES...it's happening to my phone too!"
I left iPhone and have now come back with a brand spankin new iPhone 4 32GB...the phone is flaweless and has not a mark on it anywhere.
So...I still really like the bumper idea but I was curious if the problem is still persisting? I'm assuming it is as reviewers on Apple's website for the bumpers are also complaining about the very same issue...I can't believe this has STILL not been addressed by Apple!
Also, I'm rather fond of the white one because it gives that "Adidas" white and black look with the black of the iPhone...but I've heard stories that only the black bumper has the 'rubber grips' on the side of the bumper where as the other colors DO NOT and are all slippery.
Verdicts?
Thanks!

It has its quirks - as you'd expect from anything so monstrously complex. But it does a really good job of hiding the underlying complexity. PROVIDING your DNS, Reverse DNS, and CA-signed SSL Cert are consistent and you are ABSOLUTELY happy that they are so before you begin.
It uses much of the same open source technology as many Linux Servers: Apache2; Postfix; Dovecot; amavis-new etc. so if you have experience with these, and can bear to keep your hands off the config files as long as possible, you'll be we'll impressed. Add in Kerberos and LDAP with OS X Server's Open Directory implementation and you'll regain the will to live again if you've experienced setting these up and maintaining them in the past.
Best experience for SSL Certs for me here in the UK has been GoDaddy (we have one cert with 5 names for https sites and mail server URI) and renewing it and changing names several times a year - for free - has been well worth the money the Certs costs.

What's the verdict on 10.8.4 for Server?

Just a simple question. What's the verdict on 10.8.4 wrt the effect on Server? I don't see many issues. Is everybody waiting?

What's the difference between those 2 BIOSes ?

Hello..
I have the MSI 680gtx lightening..In the official msi webpage in BIOS section there are 2 updated for the BIOS...one is legacy and one is with LN at the end...if I need to update my card BIOS and want to keep the card bone stock like the factory settings exactly, what file should I choose ?
again I'm not gonna overclock the card in any way other than the original msi out the box overclock...
thanks

yes one is a standard VBIOS for regular use the other one (LN2) is a bios if your using Liquid Nitrigen cooling to allow you to pull huge overclocks and voltages on the card under those circumstances and prevent Cold boot bugs.

What is the difference between those Tcode?

Dear All,
What is the difference between the Tcode MD02 and MD03?
Regards,
Luke

Hi,
MD02:
In single-item, multi-level planning the BOM is exploded and dependent requirements are generated for assemblies and components. To cover the dependent requirements, these components are also planned. If the components also have BOMs, these are also exploded and the components are planned. This process is repeated until all levels of the BOM are exploded and planned.
MD03:
Single-item planning only involves the planning of one individual material. Single-level means that the BOM is not exploded and that, therefore, only the level directly below the material is planned.
Regards,
Swapnil

Firmware 1.1 - What is the verdict - does it fix the buzzing noise?

I've been waiting to hear if Apple has resolved the issue of the buzzing noise with the 2nd Gen Nano. Those of you who have experienced this issue - has the new firmware resolved the problem for you?
I'm not sure whether now is the time to buy or not? I'm interested in the 8GB or 4GB models if that makes a difference however, from what I've read the issue has surfaced among all capacities.

I have said this a couple of times and I say it again...apparently I must be very luck because I did not experience this buzz on the 4gb I had briefly, the 8gb I currently have or the 2 that I purchased for birthday gifts to others. Because so many people seem to have been having this problem I wanted to make sure I didn't buy anyone buzzing gifts so I checked them both out. And apparently, no one that has the issue (solved at this point or not) have been able to get a real answer as to just what the problem is. I think this is also one reason why I don't really like to order my ipods...if there is an issue you can't just take it back to the point of purchase and get a replacement that same day (unless the Apple stores allow that...the closest one to me is about 100 miles away so I wouldn't know!).
Hope something happens soon for you!

OK, What's the verdict on 7.3.2 firmware?

Hi all,
After perusing through many posts here about the horrors some have found with the 7.3.2 firmware update, I've been hesitant to update my set up.
Is there anyone here that did the update and is satisfied?
What benefits did the update offer?
Also,
I have a new AEBSn that I just got to replace my old round g model, and I've been unsuccessful in hooking my old AXg back up to stream music to my stereo.
If I do succeed in using the old AXg up, will it reduce the performance of my new AEBSn?
Blumer

I haven't had issues with the software or the firmware updaters.
The second question, yes B/G devices can slow performance of N devices. Then again it all depends upon how you set up your network.

What is the verdict for the Blacberry iBooster

Hi all,
I have been reading about a cell phone booster for balckberry curve , can somebody tell me how effective it is? i am a road warrior and go in and out of bad signal all the time, i want something that will amplify my cell phone signal and higher bandwidth for data connectivity. Every product out their seems to have a mixed reaction..

I read Cnet's review and a review from everythingicafe.com. I think it's worth giving a try. I heard that it really does what it's supposed to do - increase your signal inside your car especially when you pass through 'dead spots'. From all of the reviews that I've read, there's only one pertinent negative thing about iBooster - when turned into speakerphone it gets muffled and sometimes the person from the other line won't be able to hear the caller clearly. But I think that it's not a big of a deal since it can do what I need it to do - avoid dropped calls when I'm on the road! Anyway, I am thinking of pre-ordering one. Will let you know about it!

What is the verdict

On the new Euphonix controllers..

I got the MC Mix just a little while ago and I would have to say I'm impressed now that they've released a few more software updates. I bought it the first day they were released in the UK and it was buggy as **** but to be fair to Euphonix they have been releasing new versions every couple of weeks which is a lot more than I can say about some other manufacturers.
Since I've been ******* after a control surface for a while and have had a play with it and a demo from the Euphonix guys I was sold. It is so much slicker, smaller and faster than the Mackie. Now that EuCon has bedded in a bit it's sweet.
The MC Mix is very responsive and it has already improved my work flow. I'm still in a writing phase at the moment so I've only fully mixed 1 track with it but I do use it all the time and it speeds things up.
I love being able to make assignments to the faders. I put the active track on the left most fader so that what ever track I select or am playing it's always there. Also the Master is always on the right.
Ableton Live also works with the Mackie Control protocol. There isn't as much control and you currently can only see the meters on 1st channel. It's not that much of an issue for me as I use Live for performances and don't plan on trucking my mix about the whole time.

What is the verdict? (E2 bluetooth)

Is the Tungsten E2 capable of bluetooth syncing? I've read both types of arguments. (Some say that it only capable with a bluetooth 'card' that Palm used to sell. Some say that bluetooth is available as is. (After all, it does have a 'Bluetooth' app on the unit itself, even after hard reset.
So to clear up any confusion, whom is right?
This question was solved.

Hello whatsizbucket, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
The E2 has a Bluetooth radio. The T|E did not. See this link:

IOS 5.1.1, what's the verdict?

thought i'd see 50 threads on it by now. any known issues? thanks.

ThatguyfromThatplace wrote:
Give it time and someone will find something they dislike about it.
I'll tell you something I LOVE about it, before even installing--that it's apparently just 60MB or some such. Beats the bloody heck out of DL'ing the entire iOS every time they issue a bug fix.
Some of us have very limited ISP bandwidth and those 800Mb files are deadly to us/require advance planning.
It's about time they issued patches as patches!

P6N SLI Plat & Bios 1.31, what's the verdict?

For you guys who've already flashed to bios 1.31 how's it running? Has it corrected any issues that you had with previous bios versions? Will your machine allow the keyboard to start on a cold boot? I almost did it however I just couldn't make myself go through with it.

Ok after not being able to boot by hitting any key this morning I flashed my mb to 1.31. Other than having to reset my bios settings I don't really see anything different about it. I'm going to try to messing around with booting to see if the any key works again and I'll report back with my findings.

So what is the verdict glossy or matte display.

The macbook pro now comes in glossy or matte.
Which is better? has anyone seen both stlyes side by side?
I saw a macbook and I like pure sharp contrast of glossy but it has so much glare, that I think it might be better to stick with matte.
Is this something apple is testing out or do they plan on making all there screens glossy in future?
Opinions?
Dell 8300 Windows XP

Matte. It is a matter of opinion of course, but I really dislike the glossy screen. I come from the PC world and tried a number of them in various lighting situations at home and at work and found the reflections and glare to be very distracting and straining on the eyes. The matte screen was a major concideration in my decision to make the move to a Mac. I have spent a fair bit of time with the Mac glossy screens in the store (though I did not take one of these home) and I don't feel that Apple did anything vastly different with theirs.
As a photographer I would disagree that they are better for displaying photographs or anything else. It is a constant battle with glare, reflection and incremental color shifts when the screen is viewed slightly off center. Again it is a matter of personal preference and opinion. My opinion is I will never have one until they have vastly improved or the choice of matte is no longer an option. You may find you like them though. I can't speak for anyone but myself.

So, Leopard and Adobe products...what's the verdict?

Leopard is on its way to my house. Before I install, is there
any concensus
on how DW and FW react to it?
I'm mostly worried about Freehand, but it's time has come, so
maybe I'll let
it RIP, but I don't want to kill DW and FW.
-Darrel

> DW8 isn't supported under Leopard. This is a very poor
choice by Adobe,
> especially since DW8 was still available for purchase
earlier this year.
Looks like I'm going to start going out of my way to support
Adobe.
I think I'm through with supporting Adobe and Dreamweaver.
Looks like it's
time to consider Panic's offerings. Or maybe go back to
BBEdit. I kind of
miss BBedit.
I need my Fireworks, though. Will go ask over in that forum.

The verdict on the new MBP

OK, so let's hear it. What's the verdict on the new MBP from those who have it? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Some here have highlighted some issues - speed, display, heat, etc. But maybe we are only hearing from the discontented. I am contemplating buying one and would love to hear the verdict from those who have been pounding on it for a week or two. Thumbs up or down? Should I get one or no?
Thx

I had the previous version (2.33, 2GB, 120Gb HD) and I prefer it to the new 2.4 model. I sold my 2.33 as I got it all scratched up 4 days after I bought it. Sold it for $1900 and bought the new one under the student discount w/free ipod to minimize my loss (selling Ipod)
Anyway, wish I would of kept the old 2.33 as the display was brighter, sharper, and 100% even in brightness. The new 2.4 has a yellow tinge on the bottom of the display, is "softer" and the colors seem less vibrant.
Also, it seems a little SLOWER opening apps than my 2.33 did. Battery life on my 2.33 averaged 4 hours. The new 2.4 averages 3:45-4 hours. No improvement.
Video encoding speed is oh so slightly faster with the 2.4, but not really noticable. My 2.33 was 100% perfect. Perfect display, super fast performance, and even ran cool (2.4 does as well)
I guess if the display on the new 2.4 were better I would be thrilled, but its not. Also seems to have a problem with the finder as downloaded icons disappear.
Very odd.
Anyway, I may exchange this one and try to get a display without the yellow tinge, or I may just keep this for a year or so and upgrade later.
Overall, its a killer notebook, but at $2700 (after tax) a bit steep to have imperfections (like a bad display)
If I could do it all over again, I would of kept the scratched up 2.33. Oh well.

What are the differences between MBP 13" and MBP 15"?

What is the different between those Hard Disk "rpm"...Explain in detail thanks...
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive and 750GB 7200-rpm hard drive,
500GB 5400-rpm hard drive and 1TB 5400-rpm hard drive...
I don't really get it...can anyone help me clear my picture...

5400 RPM vs 7200 RPM ...
The faster the platters spin, the faster you can read/write/locate data.
But spinning faster does use more power. Does that mean 7200 spin uses 50% more power than 5400 spin? Not really. You would need to ALWAYS be running 100% of disk usage, so the power utilization between 7200 and 5400 spins are is not worth my worry. But 7200 spin can acces data somewhere up to but not guranteed to be 50% faster.
As to size, that is obvious.
