What's your game plan for tomorrow?

How are you going about getting the iPad 2 tomorrow or are you waiting a few days after the rush dies down?
I want to get mine from Sams and im not sure yet if my location will have it tomorrow so I'll have to wait and see but hubby will be picking mine up for me sometime in the next 2 weeks, hopefully sooner.

The increased speed and decreased thickness are nice but not worth the price to me. I have zero interest in the cameras.
Sort of feel the same way. I don't use the camera in the iPod Touch that my wife bought me for Xmas. The 2's look cool and the increased speed would nice.
Over the past week or so - as I've been following some these threads - I almost feel as though I'm back in high school and all the gang is trying to coordinate weekend plans - like well I just talked to Susie and Johnnie and they aren't going the dance until 10:00, but like I was really thinking like maybe we should get there early and like maybe we should go later but like what are you going to wear and like I'm bringing my ... and on and on and on....
I understand the excitement to a point, but for me the whole experience has been so high school! MaybeI I'm just too old and grouchy now. If I decide to purchase the iPad2, I'm betting they will still be available next week and the week after ....

What's your OC doing for you?

I don't really consider myself a die-hard overclocker and although I am pleased to have a cpu that seems to have no objection to it, I am wondering as to what benefit you have found in it. Other than just the fun of tinkering and such, what is your overclock doing for you in practical terms? Is it providing the necessary fps boost in a certain game or does it cut down on your encoding time?
Please share what your benefit is!!!

Both gaming and encoding time.
Not that I care honestly but I'm usually the 1st person in the next map of a game of BF2. When dumping the money for these modern video cards you need a fast CPU to feed the video card info, sadly this requires a fast CPU. With the $300-400 or more spent on the video card it doesn't leave much left over for the CPU. The OC turns the $150 CPU into a $800 dollar one.
As for encoding, every frame per sec is nice. I use to have dual Athlon MP 2800+ CPU's on an Asus A7M266-D for it, but there weren't that many SMP apps for encoding. (Man those AMD 760 chipsets were starving the CPU for bandwidth for encoding, slow single channel DDR feeding 2 CPU's... ) Of course as soon as I ditched it SMP has picked up steam with dual core.
I still use Intel for encoding. P4 Prescott 2.8E at 3.3 on good ole Asus P4C800-E delx, 1GB RAM at 236Mhz, and 6 drive SCSI RAID 0.
and AMD for gaming. Which is the MSI rig in my sig.
Finally and maybe the most important. I get alot of the enjoyment from the OC from just doing it and hanging out with clowns like you guys . Been overclocking since the first Pentium's and K5's, old habits die hard and I just like pushing it.

What is least expensive plan for smartphone and wifi hotspot?

What is least expensive plan for smartphone and wifi hotspot? I would probably want 1 -2GB or so of use for the hotspot, to allow access for my laptop when needed. I don't need a lot of minutes, really my usage is 100 - 200 mins/month, no or very little text, and some date use from phone, maybe 1 GB?
Thanks for any ideas!

What is the best plan for me? *please read details*

My parents are getting me a 4S for my birthday but I have to pay for the plan.
- I live in Alberta
- I will use less than 500MB data
- I have many friends in different provinces I will be texting
- I never talk on the phone for more than 200 min a month
- I'm currently with Koodo
- I will be in Costa Rica for 4 months in the new year; I am probably gonna get a SIM card when I'm down there.
What's the best service provider, and what's the best plan for me?

Thanks, Meg.
So would a Verizon device-only iPhone 5S still be the better choice if I plan to use GSM in the US (and not the CDMA part of the Verizon iPhone which would lock me to their service).
Ideally, if I had the device in my hand, I would like to use TMobile's prepaid plan (40$ for unlimited talk, text, and 500 mb of data). Upon getting the phone, couldn't I just discard the included verizon simcard (without my activation) and just pop in the TMobile SIM card since the Verizon device-only instrument comes with the GSM unlocked? ( In other words, I don't have to ask Verizon to unlock the GSM part of the iPhone 5S )
Also, if this is what my goal is (to use a prepaid Tmobile sim), I could just buy an unlocked sim-free iPhone 5S from Apple, right? I dont have to ask for a Verizon device-only iPhone 5S if I want nothing to do with Verizon or use their CDMA service? I'm guessing a device-only iPhone 5s (regardless of carrier label) is the same as unlocked sim-free iphone 5S?

What's apple's plan for preordered iphone 4 customers w.o confimation email

Many people have pre-ordered the iPhone 4 using the Apple website and reached the end to the confirmation page saying what to bring and that we'll receive a confirmation email soon, but hours and days later, handfuls of us have yet to receive the confirmation email. Does that mean that we don't get our pre-ordered iPhones, or will apple come up with a plan that will make the iPhone 4 available to us too? It would not be fair for those of us who thought we have successfully pre-ordered the iPhone 4 and end up not being able to get one on launch day.

I'm not just speaking for myself, but other people on some of these forums have checked everywhere they can and their pre-orders did not go through. I'm wondering what they would do for them. I have not checked myself and will do so tomorrow morning. If I'm one of the unlucky ones to not have their pre-orders go through, I'll be extremely disappointed along with the rest of those people, so I'm just wondering what they will do. If any one knows, I'm sure everyone with the same problem would like to hear about it.

Advice needed: what does your company log for SAP security role changes?

My client has a situation where for many years, they never logged changes to SAP security roles. By that I mean, they never logged even basic details, like who requested a change, tested it, approved it, and what changed!! Sadly their ticketing system is terrible, completely free-form text and not even searchable.
Does anyone here use Word docs, Excel sheets, or some other way to capture security role change details? What details do you capture? What about Projects, that involve dozens of changes and testing over several months?
I plan to recommend, at least, they need to use a unique# (a ticket#, or whatever) for every change and update the same in PFCG role desc tab, plus in CTS description of transports... but what about other details, since they have a bad ticketing system? I spoke with internal audit and change Mgmnt "manager" about it, and they are clueless and will not make recommendations. It's really weird but they will get into big trouble eventually without any logs for security changes!

Does anyone here use Word docs, Excel sheets, or some other way to capture security role change details? What details do you capture? What about Projects, that involve dozens of changes and testing over several months?
I have questions:
a) Do you want to make things straight
b) Do you want to implement a versioning mechanism
c) You cannot implement anything technical, but you`re asking about best "paper" practise?
The mentioned scenarios can be well maintained if you use SAP GRC Solutions 10 (Business Role Management)
Task Based, Approvals, Risk Analysis, SOD and role generation and maintenance in a structured way (Business Role Management). Workflow based, staged process with approvals.
PFCG transaction usage will be curtailed to minimum if implemented fully.
Do we really want to do things "outside" PFCG?
@all:
a) do you guys use custom approval workflows for roles?
b) how tight your processes are? how much paperwork, workflow, tickets, requests and incidents you have to go through to change a role?
c) who is a friend of GRC here, raise your hand
Cheers Otto
p.s.: very interesting discussion, I would like to learn something here about how it works out there in the wild

What is the best plan for an unlocked iPhone in the US?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I am thinking of buying a no-contract unlocked iPhone from Apple.
I currently have a no-contract iPhone 4s on Virgin Mobile (USA). My plan is 30$ for 300 minutes, unlimited text and unlimited data. Since VirginMobile is CDMA, I'm guessing they don't unlock their iPhones or let other SIM cards work on the iPhones issued through them (this is assuming the 4s has the GSM capability).
I want a no-contract unlocked iPhone just so I will have the flexiblity of using it overseas since I'm usually making a trip once a year.
My questions are:
If I buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple (thinking of getting a 5S, 32 GB in white and silver), are there any plans that I can use that are as cheap as VirginMobile's?
I have heard that Verizon iPhones come unlocked (although they have to be activated through Verizon, but a T-Mobile sim can be used and so on). Is this true? Are AT&T iPhones the same?
Will I be able to keep my current cellphone number from Virgin if I switch to a no-contract iPhone and start using a SIM card?
Thanks!

What is your export process for printing custom-sized books?

I will be printing my first custom-sized book created in Aperture.
Anyone have much experience doing this?
I am assuming that exporting to pdf and then sending that file to print is the process, but I'm wondering if the compression will affect the image quality enough to be concerned for a 9''x9'' book?

Lots of experience here.
I outsource albums either as single page or double spread. Unfortunately Aperture only allows single page export, not as a full spread (required by some printers).
Unfortunately the Export options are a little limited, so read on
If you click on the Print button for your custom sized book, you'll get a dialog. Choose the PDF button at the bottom and a bunch of options will appear.
If you just want to export a proof for a client to review, you can select Save PDF to Aperture. The files will import as 200dpi JPEGs / TIFFs depending upon the option you choose. You can then export to a sharing service / web album etc.
If you want to export at a different dpi then DON'T choose the Save PDF to folder as JPEG option... again you'll get just 200dpi images. So what you can do is choose the Save as PDF option. When you choose that it will export the whole book as single pages in a PDF, with the embedded JPEGs (fully quality jpeg 12) at 350dpi (I know as I've checked this)....
You can then do 2 things:
1. For services that require a single pages, run an automator action to run through the PDF and export the images at your desired DPI and change the colour profile (eg sRGB). Your images are then exported to the same folder. Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Folder%20as%20JPEG.zip
2. For services that require a double page spread instead, run an automator action to run through the PDF, change the colour profile and DPI and then import to Aperture.
What I do is have an entirely separate project called Album Proofs and import all images into there. When the action runs, it will ask where to put the images - place them in Album Proofs. I then have a custom book size that is twice the width of the album you are creating (e.g. if making a 12x9, the size is 24x9) with no margins or spacing. Then create a template album (you can reuse by right clicking and selecting Duplicate Book) that has two images per page, each image taking up EXACTLY half of the page (again no margins or spacing). I then drag the images I imported into this template, then auto-fill unplaced images. Your images are then layed out as spreads... So now what you do is re-export using the Save as PDF print option. Then run the action described in 1 above.
Here's the action: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/117989/Save%20PDF%20to%20Aperture%20as%20JPEG.zip . If it doesn't work use the other action above and just import manually.
Hope this helps

Going Live this week with ELQ/SRM. What's your #1 advice for success?

Thanks for responding to help our Go Live a success!

You and everyone else that takes the time to read, and understand what I said, and can benefit from this, is WELCOME! ; )
By the way, I forgot to mention. I use "Micon" a little terrific freeware program (from VersionTracker) to make (initialize) my custom icons. I also use Graphic Converter to make my own original icons of anything I like. Don't underestimate the value in making your own custom icons-- they really stand out from the "standard old blue".

What's your external drive for iTunes storage?

I have a portable SmartDisc 60gig FireLight .
It's firewire powered so it goes to sleep with the eMac . It works great but I need something bigger and I guess the desktop drives that cost less are AC powered ?
I didn't like the Maxtor OneTouch III and returned it . The backup software that I guess I didn't need is uninstallable .
this was on an archived thread ;
Most external hard drives come with fans. I suggest anything from LaCie, SmartDisk, or Western Digital
I suggest LaCie D2 Hard Drive Extreme w/ Triple Interface, SmartDisk CrossFire, or the WD Dual Option.
I use a SmartDisk CrossFire for both my iTunes library as well as my iPhoto library. If you need help moving your iTunes library you might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #301748 explains How to Move Your iTunes Library.
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6) Panther eMac

I have a LaCie D2 extreme triple interface and am happy with it. it is well built in a metal casing and came ready formatted for mac so really was just a case of plugging in and going. It also runs off the mains. It has not caused any problems so far. I bought the 160G version because at the time it was all I needed but I would recommend getting the biggest you can afford as it it is more cost effective than having to buy yet another one when you run out of space as I almost have. You never actually get the ammount of free space as the description lets you believe you are getting. eg my 160G actually gave me 147G of free space straight from the box. The only other thing i would have liked is a minimum of two firewire 400 ports as the one gets used up connecting to my macbook leaving nothing with which to daisy chain any other devices.

What does Single-App plan for Creative Cloud include?

I've just completed my first year with Creative Cloud, paying for the introductory subscription. The only App I ever use is Photoshop. If I move to a Single-App plan do I still get to use TypeKit inclusively with my subscription?
Thanks
Matt

(Note it's not included for the Photography program, but otherwise all other single-app memberships.)
Classic Adobe. They giveth with the one hand and they taketh with the other.
Almost everyone signing up for the Photoshop Single App is going with the Photography Program to get Lightroom as well.
Why omit Typekit from that deal? All it does is breed resentment amongst the users. Costs Adobe nothing to include it.
So the choice now is Photoshop + Lightroom OR Photoshop + Typekit. But not all three.

Macbook Pro won't power on, what should my game plan be?

Hello,
So I have a 17" 2.53 ghz i5 500gb MBP from Mid 2010 running snow leopard (can't remember which os). I have never really had issues with it other than a busted cd-drive. Around October, I plugged my old iphone 4 into the usb port and my computer completely shut down. When plugged in, the green charging light is lit up, but the laptop will not power on. The LED light in the front blinks, starting dim and getting brighter for approx. 1.5 seconds, then abruptly blinks off and starts again. All of the side green lights blink when I press the little button next to them. I tried resetting both the NVRAM and the SMC to no avail. When I press the power button, it makes a very faint sound as if its about to start up, and repeats that sound, but otherwise nothing happens.
I have since bought a new (much less expensive) Acer laptop that I am more than happy with, but I'd like to know if there is any way I can fix it or get it fixed for a reasonable price, as well as what is specifically wrong with it, in order to sell it for a higher price. Gazelle offered me $50, which is a pretty low blow considering I bought it for over $2000 less than 5 years ago. Should I attempt to bring it in to the apple store, or maybe try craigslist? Or just bite the bullet and go with gazelle...

Do make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation. At least then you will be in a position to make an informed decision, whether to sell it as is or repair it.
Ciao.

What's your favorite case for the MacBook

I normally use Brenthaven cases for my Apple laptops. I am just curious what anyone else uses for their MacBook. I'm looking for more than just a sleeve-type case. I would like to get a good, snug fitting case with some room for storage.
Thanks.

I use a combination of the Incase neoprene sleeve (black with lime green interior) and the STM Medium Loft bag.
The sleeve is a very good fit and offers good scratch protection for the money. But be sure to remove the little badge from the inside to avoid it scratching the lid, awful idea sewing it inside there.
The more observant amongst you will notice that the Medium Loft bag is designed for the MacBook Pro, i.e. 15.4" screens, but after testing on the display model in the store, the larger bag fits the MacBook much better when inside a sleeve. It's a tight fit getting the MacBook into the Small Loft (13" version) with a sleeve on also. Check out www.standardtm.com.au
The sleeve is available on the Apple store, but although Apple do stock STM bags, I was unable to get this particular one on the store and had to purchase elsewhere.
My two cents. (Or pence, rather.)

What happened to reserving phones for tomorrow ????

Same way as always.
You must use itunes to put music on the iphone.
Sync is just as you did before.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.
Not sure I understand. Do everything just as you did before. Are you having a problem doing this? What is that problem?
