What would YOU charge?

How much would you charge if someone wanted a site built
entirely with
flash and resemble the look and feel of this web site (
http://www.alfiemovie.com ),
but without the video. Click on the "Enter
Alfie's World" logo/title to see the flash content.
Any other advice on how much to charge for Flash content
would be
helpful too.
Thank you,
Joe

i would have to charge nothing because it immediately
redirects to:
http://www.alfiemovie.com/noflash/noflash.html
their flash detection is out dated and/or broken. cant see
the site.
as for charging see this:

Random kernel panics on iPhone 4 GSM: what would you do?

Hello all,
I'm posting here in hopes that someone could help shed some light on the matter before I give up and send my phone in for repair, provided it will be repaired/replaced given how random this issue is.
I've had an iPhone 4 since November 2010, a GSM unit as I'm in Europe. Jailbroke it on a dull day just to see if I'd have any use for that, restored it to stock firmware (using the backup I had created before applying the jb) about 24 hours later. No trace of jb on it at all nowadays, basically. The phone and the system are as vanilla as they can be. The only customization, so to speak, is the provisioning profiles in my name as I'm an iOS developer.
Ever since March, the phone will sometimes randomly reboot. There is no pattern whatsoever: I may be fiddling with it, I may be keeping it in my pocket, it may be charging, it may be placidly sitting on a table undisturbed. Out of the blue, the Apple logo will show up and the thing will reboot, and won't ask for the PIN either. I hadn't thought much of it as it was very rare, but lately it's become more apparent and I decided to look for some logs.
To my horror, I found that ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/Jolliphone/Panics on my Mac was way overpopulated. The weirdest thing is that all the logs look virtually the same, although they all end abruptly in different points (which suggests that they were so brutal that there was no "time" to write the whole thing down.)
Here is an example:

They are all like that. The only thing that's different is the OS system, which ranges from 4.3 to 4.3.3, and the location that generated the panic:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x8007f3e5): "buf_brelse: bad buffer = 0xd0704640\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1735.46/bsd/vfs/vfs_bio.c:2348
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x8007f3e5): "buf_brelse: bad buffer = 0xd070aa98\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1735.46/bsd/vfs/vfs_bio.c:2348
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x8007f3e5): "buf_brelse: bad buffer = 0xd06fdf88\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1735.46/bsd/vfs/vfs_bio.c:2348
…and so on. The caller is always 0x8007f3e5, and the buffer location is always in 0x0d6…–0x0d7… range. This is what leads me to think that it may be some memory problem.
As I said there is absolutely no pattern in this. Sometimes it will stay a month without panicking – after a few panics on April 1st, it happened again on May 2nd – yet in other occasions it will panic 4 times within 8 minutes as it happened yesterday morning.
Lately it's been happening more often when I charge it using the wall adapter, but then again it's fairly inconsistent: I have kept it connected since last evening on purpose, and it hasn't panicked once.
I have tried restoring it as a new phone, just to make sure that it wasn't a software problem, and the very same thing happened as soon as I connected to my father's iPad 2 adapter.
If you have read so far, I want to thank you very much for your patience. I'll get to the point: what should I do?
I spent 35 minutes on the phone with AppleCare this morning and was about to give the green light to have it picked up, but the woman told me that I couldn't provide the logs to tech support, and that they'd run some tests on their own and, if they could reproduce the problem, I would get a refurbished phone in place of this one, otherwise they'd send the same unit back. Considering that it's impossible to reproduce it on purpose, I'm afraid that I will just end up being phoneless for two weeks (with the added issue of finding a way to stick this micro-sim into a phone that takes regular-sized sims), and ultimately be sent back the faulty phone.
I told the woman I'd consider going to the Apple Store in Rome, so I could at least speak with a human person and expose the problem in more detail. I do have a repair ID and apparently I can just book a slot at the genius bar and have them access the repair ID data.
The problem is that I live 200 km from Rome, and it would take the better part of a day and it would be more money spent on this issue to get there and back. And I wouldn't even be certain that they'd replace it: even if they agree to replace it, what if they're out of stock on 32 GB units, for instance?
So here is the dilemma: I have a phone that feels very unstable given the 18 (eighteen) panics I've had in the last three days, and I'm facing either wasting time and money to go to an Apple Store, or being without the phone for the better part of two weeks, again without any certainty.
Going to my carrier (Vodafone) is pointless: they referred me to Apple; at most they will ship it for me, but at that point I'd rather do it myself.
As for the local Apple Premium Reseller, they are an authorized support center for Macs, but they don't offer any support for iPhones at all.
What would you do?
Thanks.

Not saying you are complaining, I know it isn't what one likes, but just the way it is and quite normal.
You can buy a used one from somewhere and just continue on your same contract (if same type of phone, eg: You didn't have original one before and go buy a used 3G now..then you need to change plans). But if you had 3G before and buy a used 3G now, you can activate it and your contract shouldn't restart.
A used one you buy shouldn't have a SIM card in it but even if it does, you don't want to use it. You need to go to AT&T store and request a new SIM. They will give you one set for your account and you just go home and activate using same account (thus no contract changing). If you try to use another SIM without getting one from AT&T it could mess with your contract so best to deal with them first to get one coded for you. There is nothing wrong with buying a used iPhone and saying you want to put it on your existing account. You can do that with any phone. You already have the data plan etc required so they don't care.
That was useful info, and I'm not complaining (well, I am, but it does no good, so it's a rhetorical complaint)...
What I'm really looking for is opinions about what would be the most sensible/cost effective way to go right now, given the available options.
Thanks,

WHATS WOULD YOU SUGGEST ME

I installed the update Mavericks operating system and after that I lost iphoto and imovie. Because an application that I had already gone and is being charged in the App Store. this is absurd. I can not pay for a program that already had! What would you suggest me!

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.
OT

Why would you charge me $40 for a supposedly free upgrade?Have been a faithful verizon customer for years went in for myfree upgrade and paid for a iphone and protectve cover now I have to pay a fee for a free service? I will start switching my devices to

Why would you charge me$40 for a free upgrade? I chose a iPhone and paid you the difference plus protective cover, now you want to charge me a fee for activating a number I have had for years!!! I have been a faithful Verizon customer for years but I will switch companies when my contracts are up or I can get a buy out from another company, your free upgrade is not free and is a false advertisement as far as I'm concerned

However you had already stated you did not choose a "free upgrade", but paid the difference for an iPhone. So much for your "free upgrade". Additionally, I was not aware Verizon was in the business of giving away "free service"(s)?????? Purchasing a "free" or "reduced price" phone IS NOT a free service. You sign a contract in exchange for receiving that benefit. There is an upgrade fee along with that service you are contracted to complete or you will be charged an early termination fee(ETF), so this IS NOT a free service.
Yes, you have a choice to go with another provider which ALSO charges an upgrade fee OR charges you full retail value for your phone. So much for a "free upgrade" there.
AT&T = upgrade fee
Sprint = upgrade fee
T-Mobile = no upgrade fee but must pay full retail cost for the phone
For what it is worth, you would not have had to pay an upgrade fee had you simply paid full retail cost for your phone OR purchased it with Edge at full retail cost. Depending on your calling plan and data allowance, you may have even ended up paying less for your phone had you done so. That is why a little research before you make a purchase can go a long way.
I know it is cheaper for me to pay full retail for a phone than to purchase a discounted device in exchange for signing a contract.
Good luck with the new provider.

If you traded in your mac mini for a windows pc, what would you get?

I have a late 2009 Mac Mini and am just chafing to upgrade. It's slow as molasses. But at the same time, I'm not willing to pay full price for 2012 model, and Apple is way behind in releasing an update. In fact I'm hearing speculation that Apple may be just discontinuing the Mac Mini.
I don't know... But I'm getting tired of waiting. And getting a different model of Mac doens't work for me, because I want to use my own screens. (I'm running two large screens in "portrait" mode.)
Also, I have a Windows 7 PC at work, and I've come to realize that I don't mind Windows 7 and don't see it as intrinsically better than the Apple OS. In fact Windows & has generally been mariginally more stable, and a lot faster then the OS on my Mac. In fact I got both systems around the same time and the Windows 7 system did better with less RAM and is "aging" better.
HOWEVER, what I really love about the Mac Mini is how QUIET it is. I have it in my bedroom, next to my bed, and it's noise is barely noticeable. So I guess I should look into seeing if there area any desktop PC's that are as quiet.
Have you considered switching back to a PC, and if you did what would you get?

I moved away from Apple in 2007 and have never looked back !
I use the ASRock Vision X 420D http://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/VisionX%20Series%20(Haswell)/
Its the same size as the current Mini but a bit taller - BUT it is FULLY user upgradeable and about the same price once you make a mini upto the same spec.
I run Windows 8.1 on it and love it - yes there are lots of people bleating on about the 'metro' style of Win 8 but if you configure it (which has been a feature from launch, not a 3rd party hack) you never have to see the metro interface and you have a standard desktop.
As to woodmeister50 comment of : Also, with Win8, many third party add on companies have dropped support etc. is that not the same for Mavericks ?!

One Accesspoint and two server...what would you suggest?

Hello!
I'm developing an application which handles two wireless barcodereaders. There are two computers, and one of them is connected with the accesspoint.
The communication to and from the accesspoint is managed with an COM Component, which is used from Java.
The barcodescanners should interact with my application , for excample if the salesman scanns a customer-ticket, the customers data should be displayed on the screen. The barcodereaders can be identified with an uniqu id, so it's no problem to know where the data came from.
But my problem is...I'm getting all of the events to the computer which is connected with the accesspoint....
How do I tell the other computer to display the customers data which have been scanned with the other barcodereader?
How can I get the event handled on the other computer???
Sockets would be a possible way, but I think that might get very complex - than i thought i could call with RMI a fireEvent Method on the 2nd computer...!?!
What would you do to solve this problem?
I'd be happy for your help!
Greetings Martin G.

Nobody out there who knows how to solve this problem?
My main problem is how to get events which occure on on computer handled on the other computer!?!
I'd be very happy for your help

Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,

What would you replace an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB) with?

Hi,
I started a thread before asking whether I could replace a 256MB card with a 128MB card, even though the interface was a different shape.
But, as I know so little about Macs and graphics card, it seems wiser to ask
What would you replace an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB) with?
The computer is user for photo editing and normal internet/email use. The photo editing is done on Adobe Photoshop for professional treatment of photographs.
The computer is a Power Mac G5 (1.6GHz) and budge is £80 / $120.
Thanks in advance, Franc.

Hi-
Please check my recommendations in your other thread.
Better options for the 9800 Pro are the Radeon 9800 XT, Geforce 6800 GT, Geforce 6800 Ultra, or if one has the money or finds a good deal, a Radeon X800 XT.
For your budget and uses, the Geforce cards are a performance value buy.
BTW, I have owned all of the cards, used all of the cards, and tested all of the cards.

"Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" I mean....what would you do? Is it safe to click yes....(Don Don Don...*sound effect*)..please help...

Okay everybody...so I'm on the struggle bus so I'm going from Photoshop cs6 off my old broken laptop to trying to dwn Photoshop Cs2...either way I love PS. Now when I tried downloading it for free from Adobe...succeeded...but when I went to the download folder to install it, it said "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" I mean....what would you do? Is it safe to click yes....(Don Don Don...*sound effect*)..please help...

If you already have a license for photoshop cs6, why do you want photoshop cs2?
You can just install photoshop cs6 on your new computer provided both operating systems are the same kind (both mac or both windows)
If you don't have an install dvd for cs6, you can download photoshop cs6 from here and use your serial:

CS4 and consistent crashing...what would you advise?

Hi,
I have recently installed Windows 7 32 bit and have been suffering significant crashing and instability with Premiere Pro CS4.
These issues occur consistently with 1 to 20 minutes of using the software...usually every 2-7 minutes.
Sometimes I receive the message: "The system is running very low on system memory"...followed by a crash some minutes later.
Sometimes I don't receive a message at all...Premiere Pro just instantly stops....sometimes a message.."Premiere Pro has encountered an error."
I previously used Premiere Pro CS2 on this same computer but with a Windows XP install...this worked very well and was stable (SD editing not HD)
I have tried a range of "fixes" but the problem still continues...
it seems to crash no matter what footage I use..or what I am doing.
Fixes tried:
Defrag of all HD's
Placing Scratch disks etc. on different drives.
Turning off virus protection.
Tweaking of memory settings
Updating to latest graphics driver available.
Freeing up hard drive space
Running CS4 in Comptibility mode for Win XP Pro sp3
In summary Premiere Pro CS4 is very unstable on my system and I don't know what to do.
My current system is:
Premiere Pro CS 4 version 4.2.1
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Version    6.1.7600 Build 7600
System Model    P5K-E
Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, 2394 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM)    4.00 GB
Total Physical Memory    3.25 GB
Available Physical Memory    1.79 GB
Total Virtual Memory    6.50 GB
Graphics: NVIDIA 8800GT
Hard Drives: (all 7200 RPM)
Local Disk C: 1.81 TB (650GB Free)
Disk E: 698 GB (34.4 GB Free)
Disk F: 931 GB (41.5 GB free)
Options I can think of:
1.) Format drive C and install Windows 7 64 Bit..reinstall just Premiere Pro and key drivers.
2.) Upgrade to CS5 and give up on Cs4.
3.) Build another computer and give up on my old system.
4.) Format drive and return to Windows XP Professional
5.) Install Premiere Pro CS2 again and give up on CS4.
Any other clues?
What would you do?
Which of these options should I try?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

When one is having resource issues, I would look at these articles in about this order, to work through the potential issues.
First, I would make sure to have updated both the audio and video drivers from the mfgr's. Web site.
This ARTICLE gives tips on setting up one's computer for an editing session. For Win7, please see Black Viper's link, down-thread for tune-up tips.
Next, this ARTICLE gives some tips on Windows Virtual Memory.
This ARTICLE talks about one utility, that can really get in the way.
This ARTICLE, from the PrPro-Wiki, has some trouble-shooting tips.
This ARTICLE will give you tips on finding clues as to what is happening, when the program hangs, or crashes.
If one is still not getting to the bottom of the crashes, then see The Case of the Unexplained. Note: this is a new link, as MS moved some things about.
Last, if hardware problems are suspected, say with a BSOD, then this ARTICLE offers some tools to track hardware issues. There are other great tools in Harm's list.

What would you most like to see in a future version?

I'm pretty sure the DSC development team looks at these posts so what would you most like to see in the future? For me, I'd like to be able to dynamically add tags without shutting down the engine.

What would you advise....

Upgrade time is here and I have been lurking on this forum watching for issues etc with the N97
Firstly, would you advise against me getting the phone? If so, what would you advise I replace my N95 8gb with?
Secondly, assuming the geek in me wins the argument and I get the N97, I was thinking the first thing to do would be a hard reset to get rid of the unwanted software and then an upgrade to the V11 firmware. Is this correct?
Cheers in advance
PP

There is a lot of confusion about this unwanted software issue on the N97. There is essentially 3 types of storage on the device:
The most obvious is the 32Gig of flash.. this is treated a bit like a USB disk.. Nokia don't put much on there and in some cases installing certain applications to this drive is not possbile. Further to this, when you use the phone in USB storage mode, the "drive" is disconnected from the phone and attached to the PC.. this means the phone has to close any applications that are running on the "e:" and looses its ability to read/write from there. This is a serious problem if you store your message repository on the e: as the phone will revert back to C: and you *may* loose all your messages
Then there is the z:. This is the ROM. and it is just that.. read-only.. If an application is installed there, you won't be able to remove it.. this goes for Quick Office and that boingo thing.. both are terrible apps.. You won't gain anything by removing them BUT there's the problem.. The boingo app is running all the time using RAM in the phone.. Since you can't disable it, it uses RAM rather than storage..
Lastly there's the c:.. this is flash that is always available to the phone. It is where your contacts, message, config, internet/browser cache and most things are stored by default. A bit like c:\windows on a PC.. So, Nokia in their infinite wisdom made it 70meg or so.. Brilliant.. I cannot stress how mind-blowing stupid that decision is and how it continues to ruin everyone's lives.
Many applications are installed on the c: by default. Why? because the 32Gig e: is not always available (see above about USB storage mode). When I transfered all my messages from my previous handset (using the sync thing) I was left with less than 5meg free..
This problem is NEVER going to be fixed.. there simply isn't enough storage on the phone to do this..
This is not the same as the low RAM problem.. the fact that, for example, you receive a text message or email with a hyper-link. you click open.. the web browser opens.. the phone runs out of memory and closes the messages app.. so now when you close the browser, the message app is also closed.. **bleep**?!?!?!?!?!?!
Nokia never fix their products.. ever.. anyone who claims they do is lying! Ok, that's harsh.. but..
In my experience (and I've owned many first gen Nokia products (7110, 7650, 770, 7710, 5800, N97) when Nokia sell a broken product, particularly if it is broken by design, they may release firmware fixes that update SOME stuff.. but they'll never fix most of them.. Instead they'll wait a few months and release a new product that doesn't suffer the same problems..
You'd think the N97 was fixing the problems with the 5800.. but the N97 is a very different beast.. It runs a different not entirely compatible version of S60.. They must know it was flawed from the start, though.. they introduced a Low memory set of features into S60 especially for N97.. Riiiight, Nokia.. you spent time and effort developing a way to handle low memory that actually isn't that good rather than just doubling the RAM in the phone.. how much is a 1Gig dimm these days?
This phone is terribly beta.. Even after v11 has been released it has a truely inconsistent look and feel.. You could get an N97, or you could wait for this fabled n97-mini there's recently been talk of.. or you could opt for a vendor that is trying to compete with Nokia in the smart phone market and so is actually making an effort to produce a phone that doesn't make their quality-assurance department look like kinder-garten nap time..
I've been disappointed with Nokia products before.. but NEVER so much as with the N97.. And in todays market are you going to pick a poor product in the hope that software may fix it later (bearing in mind it took over 3 weeks for Nokia to release the v11 firmware to all the phone versions.. that's right there are 100s of different versions of the N97) or are you going to opt for something the industry already accepts as a stable handset..
It's a shame.. I want to love it.. I've loved Symbian since its EPOC days.. but this phone is terrible in every aspect..
Quick office and Boingo.. that's a bit like bundling AOL and compuserv CD's with windows 95.. It feels that old!

Question: Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions! If so what would you recommend? Was looking at Sophos. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.
