What's your favorite web app?

I'm looking for good web apps to put on my home screen.

If you are in Boston, Cambridge, New York or San Francisco you might find http://i.zami.com handy. It's an irreverent Yellow Pages by and for iPhone users with a novel way of listings stores by street. Also a nifty directory of the recent Macworld Expo.

  • What's your favorite iPad app?

    I'm just wondering what your favorite iPad app and why? I don't have a favorite yet because I haven't got my iPad yet! I have downloaded tons of apps so I will add my favorite as soon as I know. I would love to hear from others what their favorite app is and "why" is optional.

    i can't decide between these three:
    _*iTeleport for iPad*_, because it lets me remote control any of my Macs from anywhere in the house.
    StreamToMe, because i can watch my movies and tv shows anywhere in the house.
    eyeTV, because it lets me watch tv anywhere in the house.

  • What are your favorite backup apps?

    I am looking for a simple to use backup app. I have never used a backup app with windows or Mac's before so just looking for something simple and effective. I have looked around and saw that Intego had one backup program but they mostly have security apps. So I did not know if it was worth it. Thanks for the feedback in advance! Oh, just so you know I do not have a external harddrive right now and was wondering how safe it really is using programs that upload to the net.

    I have read many reviews on exteral harddrives and I think I found one. Does anyone have any feedback, or what do you think?
    Maxtor OneTouch II 300GB 3.5" External Hard Drive and here is a link.

  • What's your favorite FREE app?

    So far, I've only downloaded free apps, and those which were the most highly-rated. Here's my casual "top 10" listing ... there are SO many good ones, but I really love the first three. I was blown away by ABC Player the first time I booted it up ... it's gorgeous! These apps really make the iPad standout ... I'd rather use these apps more than those on my desktop because they're so much "prettier"!
    1) ABC Player
    2) Yahoo! Entertainment
    3) USA Today
    4) NPR (National Public Radio)
    5) eBay
    6) WeatherBug
    7) Kindle for iPad
    8) IMDb
    9) Kayak
    10) Marvel Comics

    Wanted to tell you about a great FREE sticky notes app I found yesterday morning. It's called ABCNotes. I'm a notes app junkie and it seems like I've bought most of the notes and sticky notes apps in the App Store over the last 2 years. But this is the best little sticky notes I've found. Don't know how long it will be FREE but I highly recommend it. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
    I agree on most of the same free apps you've listed, especiallyWeatherBug, Kindle and NetFlix. (Oops, NetFlix was not on your list, but on the list of the other poster.)

  • What is your favorite note taking app for handwriting to text?

    What is your favorite note taking app for handwriting to text?

    I use WritePad - feel it does a good job. However, I must admit that I didn't try any others... at the time, it had the best reviews of any handwriting recognition app (in fact, as I recall, it might have been the only one to do recognition).

  • What's your favorite of styling hyperlinks?

    Hi,
    what's your favorite way of styling hyperlinks?
    Right now I've colored mine C=100 M=100 Y=0 Y=0 and made them underlined. I feel the underlining is a bit too harsh on my overall design. Then again if I don't underline them, how are people suppose to know they're links?
    Spelling out URLs is just not an option. Unless I use TinyURL? They say their links will last forever but who knows for sure?

    That is a question about cultural expectations -- I can't answer that confidently.  The check mark that so often is used in US software to signal 'OK' (as in the spelling checking function where I edit this message) signals 'Error' to me -- and when it is shown in green (as Borland Software did at one point, and as Adobe does here) it signals both 'Error' and 'OK', and produces a kind of 'pulling-both-ways' effect that isn't too pleasant -- to me. I'm not sure I can come up with something that works for you.
    The dialog bubbles may work -- though to me the carry overtones of a footnote or an endnote. But they pretty clearly seem to signal 'more info elsewhere', and that's definitely a step in the right direction.
    I would be looking for something like a bent arrow -- perhaps Unicode U+21AA (↪), or perhaps something similar with a double arrow (Unicode U+21D2, ⇒), except I'd like it to have a similar curve at the left, half suggesting a 'click here to go elsewhere'. (Wingdings 3, character code 0xCA, is close.) But I could probably go for 0x58 in WIngdings 3, rotate it 90 degrees to the right, and perhaps tweak the small box into two smaller boxes of unequal size, suggesting movement.
    Or perhaps just something that suggest a 'click here' -- some of the simpler designs in Altemus Bursts, or Altemus Pinwheel or Altemus Stars might work.
    I would like something that tempted the reader into testing, and so encourage learning-by-doing. That would be helped by a similar symbol going the other way to indicate the 'back' of a web browser.  Arrows help here -- they show a direction. Other designs -- bursts -- won't be a easily understood: what would be a reverse burst?.And what symbol would be used at the target end of the dialog bubbles to suggest 'go back'? (Added: perhaps a quad or square signalling 'end'?)
    Arrows seem safer. Even guillemets might work, as long they won't be misread as quotes of some kind. Guillemets in a circle? There are some such glyphs like that in Wingdings. The standard 'fast forward' and 'fast backward'  glyphs (in Webdings, say) may also work.
    Actually ... this is the kind of problem I'd might want to suggest for a small project for a class for typeface designers.

  • What is your favorite improvement in Firmware v1.2.0

    Hello,
    We have recently posted a new firmware version to the download center for the Cisco Smart Storage series.
    Improvements
    Resource Monitor
    Web File Manager
    UPS Support improvements
    NFS version4
    SFTP
    HFS+
    iSCSI v3
    Multimedia Station
    Mount ISO Shares
    Virtual Host
    Time Machine updates
    Download the new version and let us know what is your favorite improvement?

    Hi Eric,
      Sorry for the frustration. The firmware 1.2.0 comes with new version of iSCSI (v2). The NSS is now can support multiple LUN on the same iSCSI target and the maximun increase to 256 iSCSI target instead of iSCSI version in firmware 1.1.0 where user can only work with the max of 8 iSCSI targets. While the upgrade can produced much more value, including the migration of iSCSI target to the new scheme of iSCSI version 2. It is neccessary for user to re-initiate the iSCSI initiator again in order to establish the stable iSCSI connection.  All your data are still intact. When you re-do the iSCSI initiator, you will have everything back like you used to have and much more new improve/enhancement features that FW 1.2 has to offer.
    SInce you are using iSCSI feature,  the backward firmware compatibility is strongly not recommended.  Please call support team to understand the iSCSI scheme changes.
    Please let us know so we can provide further assistant to you.
    Best Regards,
    Clint Doan

  • What is your favorite feature?

    ProSight ProSight 7.0 forges the link between strategy and
    execution more effectively than ever before. The new
    alerting capabilities deliver dynamic intelligence on the
    health of my investments. If you've installed the new
    release, what is your favorite feature?

    I really like the maps as well... with the qualification that what is best is having a phone attached to it. I've only had the phone a week and used this feature 5 or more times to find a place and then immediately just call it. That's something the touch won't be able to do even within a wi-fi spot (g).
    But today I think I found something equally cool -- someone sent me an email with their phone number and I was able to press the number and dial it. It's one thing to hyperlink to a URL within an email -- to be able to dial an embedded phone number is wicked (anyone knows if this works on web pages? That is, can the iPhone identify a phone number on a web page to press and dial? I need to check that out).

  • What's your Favorite Movie?

    What's your favorite movie? I always enjoyed when Harrison Ford reminded us all to wear our seat belts when flying an unlicensed refridgerator through an atomic explosion. Great line huh? Something that came to mind during my viewing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I have silly quotes like this for most of my favorite movies I hope you enjoy them...
    The Anime Birdie

    Time for me to weigh in, and like GeraldRose, I have way too many to list, so I will explain why I like them so much!
    Superbad - I also find this to be one of the funniest movies I have ever encountered.  To top it off, I know a dude irl (well from online) who looks totally like McLovin.  Classic.  
    The Changeling  (1980) - Good, older creepy movie.  George C. Scott delivers a sharp performance as a man entangled in a mystery that truly affects his life.  One of the few movies as a kid that scared the dickens out of me, without showing anything really.
    Say Anything - I am a hard core John Cusack fan, and I loved him as Lloyd Dobler in this movie.  It also was my introduction to Lili Taylor, who I came to adore in later roles.  This might seem like a teenage love movie, but it is so much more.  I highly recommend!
    Dogfight - The late River Phoenix and Lili Taylor are a delight in this film.  Set in the 60's Phoenix plays a marine on weekend leave, who is on a mission to find the ugliest date for a contest with his fellow servicemen - a "Dogfight".  He stumbles upon Rose, (Taylor) who is not exactly how he first assesses her.  A bittersweet love story.  
    The Princess Bride - Robin Wright Penn, Mandy Patinkin, Carey Elwes, and Billy Crystal are just a few of the stars in this crowd pleaser.   It follows the story of Buttercup and her love for Westley.  This is not your traditional love story, but full of laughs and action!
    Empire Records - A genuinely guilty pleasure, full of great music and laughs.  Rory Cochranes turn as Lucas is brilliant.  Maxwell Caulfield of Grease 2 makes a delightful turn as a washed up songbird "Rex Manning". It's REX MANNING DAY!!!!  Also, one of my other faves Ethan Embry (then Ethan Randall) makes the role of Mark his own. First thing that I ever saw Seth Green in...he cracks me up. 
    All of the Austin Powers movies, All of the LOTR movies, Every Kevin Smith movie ever made, ESPECIALLY his newest Zach and Miri...well you know the rest. 
    I could go on and on. LOL!

  • What's your favorite?

    What's your favorite Screen Capture program and why? I'm looking around and need some opinions.

    I use the Grab application in the Applications/Utilities folder.
    The keyboard commands in the Finder work as well:
    Shift-Command-3 - Save picture of screen as a file;
    Control-Shift-Command-3 - Copy picture of screen to the clipboard;
    Shift-Command-4 - Save picture of selected area as a file;
    Control-Shift-Command-4 - Copy picture of selected area to the clipboard;
    but I can never remember those keyboard shortcuts and have assigned a keyboard shortcut to call up the Grab application, that does all those and more (e.g., Capture Window; Capture Timed screen).

  • What's your favorite MacBook Pro case?

    What’s your favorite 15” MacBook Pro case? I am looking for something small that will safely hold the 15” Macbook Pro and some accessory’s such as a mouse and AC adapter.

    Bag n’ Tag It
    by: Digital Dude
    In today’s world of everything slim and integrated, more techno fanatics and Spartan travelers are embracing the minimalist approach. To that end, I was looking for an alternative to my bulky computer briefcase for travel. So, I ordered the “Buzz” by Tom Bihn.
    Initially, I was a bit skeptical since the price of the Buzz is rather high for a nylon bag in today’s crowded market. Fortunately, the folks at Tom Bihn have an excellent guarantee with great customer service. If you receive the bag, and it’s not what you expected, simply return it without having to request an authorization. Try that with any other bag manufacturer!
    Exterior:
    My first impression after opening the box was that the Buzz is in fact, a very well made nylon sling-bag with attractive accents. The initial fit on the back and shoulder was comfortable, and the crossover strap is wide and it fits guys and gals without interference. It’s also nicely padded and has a large durable quick disconnect fastener below your left rib area. There is a smaller adjustable waist strap for a more secure and balanced fit. I found it wasn’t necessary for casual carry although quite useful when riding a bike or running to catch that flight.
    Interior:
    The Buzz has two main compartments with waterproof zippers that don’t snag and they seal very well.
    The main compartment houses a unique padded panel with a fitted corner, similar to a fitted bed sheet that stretches over one corner of the MacBook Pro. The space between the computer holder and the zippered panel provides room for a book, magazines, documents, or even a small travel neck pillow.
    The second zippered compartment is on the very back and is slightly smaller or stepped down from the main compartment. It includes the usual key strap and some angled stitched pockets for pens, business cards and one larger pocket that can hold a Passport or airline tickets, etc.
    The third compartment is on the exterior right side and is made of elastic material and is designed to hold a bottle, small umbrella or equivalent. It also has two pull straps to further secure its contents.
    Finally, there is a super convenient compartment in the center of the crossover strap with a Velcro closure. This is my favorite feature, since it holds your cell, iPod or more notably, the new iPhone securely across your chest.
    Field Tests:
    I harnessed the Buzz, adjusted the straps and wore it for a week in and around town. The Buzz and its sling design holds' the 15-inch MacBook Pro, cables, charger, etc. in a vertical orientation on the back. This permits full range of motion for both arms, unlike most soft-sided computer briefcases.
    At times, I wanted to shift the load, so I simply reached around with my left hand and lifted up slightly on the bottom as I grabbed the ferry-loop (top strap) with my right hand. In this manner, you can easily adjust the tension on the crossover strap.
    The Buzz shoulder bag is advertised as offering “moderate” protection, although it’s quite adequate for most common travel activities. However, I wanted to see if I could fit my MacBook Pro while stuffed in the Tucano “Second Skin” sleeve. To my delight, it fit nearly perfect as though it was made for “The Buzz”. This combination effectively increases the travel protection by at least 2:1.
    Wish List:
    Accessory provisions or lack thereof, is a shortfall with many bag manufactures. User’s end up stuffing their charger, cables and adapters into secondary bags which all end up at the bottom, resulting in disorganized clutter. I visualize a removable fitted panel with separate compartments or straps that hold a basic array of typical computing items. In fact, I ended up using one of my luggage toiletry panels to help organize my computer gear in the Buzz. It holds everything vertically and eliminated the pile at the bottom.
    After field-testing, I decided this bag was definitely a keeper’. However, I would prefer a tighter fit of the MacBook Pro or a matching sleeve. I would also favor a more contoured and softer crossover strap with an exterior I.D. card and pen/pencil slot. Since I’m dreaming here, how about a less abrasive backside for improved comfort.
    Conclusion:
    The Buzz sling bag is a well-made, lightweight, ergonomic alternative to a backpack or the horizontal briefcase design. It holds most everything one might need for mobile computing while providing an excellent provision for Apple’s new iPhone.
    Regards,
    ~DD

  • What is your favorite transaction and why?

    Just wondering what your secret tools are... Willing to share? Transactions you use all the time, and without them you would be, uh, toast...
    My favorite one is SE84 Repository Information System. I use it regularly to find objects in repository, like database tables, views, table fields, function groups, function modules, programs, logical databases, message classes, message number, SET/GET parameters, transactions, variants, screens, business add-ins, customer exits, change requests and authorizations.
    A useful hint: You can also search by application hierarcy. For example, in 4.6c to find customer exits within MM, do as follows:
    1. Start SE81
    2. Select subtree MM with F9
    3. Click Information system. SE84 is displayed.
    4. Click Envir. and then Exit techniques and then Customer exits. Click enhancements. A search screen is displayed and development class field is pre-filled.
    5. Press F8
    What is your favorite transaction and why?
    Regards,
    Jarmo Tuominen

    clearly SE80.
    Starting 4.7 you have a button on top of the tree navigation where you can click the information system.
    So you have (at least) three transactions in one: SE80, se84(85 and SE38.
    I wonder why still some people prefer SE38. It's just SE80 minus functionality and overview plus wasted screen space.
    Is there any existing function you can execute from SE38 that is not available in SE38? A lot the other way round.
    regards,
    Clemens

  • What's your Favorite Encoding Settings & Tags Question?

    Happy Holidays folks,
    I have some CD's to digitize. I am curious of the best way to do this ...
    Q: What is your Favorite Encoding Settings for CD's for your desktop? IOS device?
    ALSO...
    TAGS with various formats...
    Q: What encoding settings do YOU use for listening on mobile devices for CD digitization?
    For me I am thinking that I will create 256 Stereo AAC files for IOS, but also then create .aif files to store for desktop players etc.
    I didn't know that .aif's can store tag info....
    It seems that .aif files can store the TAG info that come in through iTunes - but where is the info stored:
    1 - right on the .aif file?
    2 - just in iTunes database?
    3 - just Spotlight?
    4 - or ?????
    If I copy the file to another hard drive on another computer - will it retain the tag info with aif?
    I seems that when I try that save tag info with .wav format - that it doesn't store it - is that true?
    I am curious to find out about tags with .aif - .wav etc.....
    Also does Apple Lossless play on PC / Lynux?

    Tag data is stored in the file.  This includes information like Title, Artist, Year, etc.
    Some of the data you see is library data, not tag data, and is stored in the iTunes library rather than in the individual song file.  This includes things like Date Added, Last Played, Play Count, etc.
    Also does Apple Lossless play on PC / Lynux?
    Apple Lossless can play on a PC running iTunes for Windows.  iTunes does not run on Linux, however.

  • What are your favorite U.S. cities to travel to?

    Can't speak for Chicago, but my favourite city to either live in or visit since I've been in the US is Seattle - by far. Always something going on, great food. And football (Sounders!)

    I am heading to Chicago tomorrow to visit friends and the countdown is in full swing...I've only been to Chicago when it was freeeeezing, so I am very much looking forward to spending time on the water this time around!My mom is a flight attendant, so I've grown up traveling around the U.S., and so far, I'd say my two favorite cities (aside from Austin, where I live) are Chicago (even in the snow it was absolutely amazing) and San Diego. Nothing like the energy of a metropolitan city or the calmness of the beach.What are your favorite U.S. cities to travel to?PS. If you have any "must-do" recommendations while I'm in Chi-Town, I'm all ears! =)
