i have a mac book pro laptop 15 inch
im lookin to get an intuos wacom tablet...i want to know which one is best for the proportion of the screen...the 6X8 or 6X11??? thanks!

Hi elementsk8er506;
You posted your MacBook Pro question in the Mac Pro forum. I suggest you repost over in the MBP forum where there are more users knowledgeable on it.

Whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

whats better for college/grad school- ipad 3 with keyboard or mac book air? 11 inch

Nobody can tell you which one is best for you, it's a personal preference. However, here are a few factors you might want to take into consideration:
1-They're two different devices that serve different purposes. The way you take notes in an iPad is different than the way you would on a MBA. On the iPad, with apps like Evernote and Notability you can take more complete notes than with a MBA. You have the option to have audio notes, write with a Stylus, make diagrams by hand to explain/relate concepts easily. With the external keyboard (for that I'd recommend using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the InCase Origami Workstation) you could type just as fast as you would on a MBA and format the text just like you would on the MBA. However, for bigger (possibly partner) papers, the MBA would help you. You could start the paper on the iPad without any issues (using Pages or even Evernote) but you'd need a laptop/computer to finalize the project.
2-Portability wise, they're both incredibly light. The iPad is somewhat smaller = lighter but with the keyboard they're about the same. The fact that with the ipad + keyboard combo you can take out the keyboard only when you need it, for me, is an advantage be ause when I don't want to use it, it's not in the way. For others, it's a disadvantage because you have to carry two items instead of one.
3-The iPad needs a computer to be updated, synced, etc. So if you don't have one, definitely get the MBA. The MBA can work as a standalone computer. The iPad needs to be synced to an iTunes library in a computer.
4-MBA let's you access all websites and most file types. If one of your classes requires you to go to the Browser and see a Flash enabled page, the iPad would not be of much help. Same goes for any programs you might need to install. On the MBA you'll most likely be able to do so. On the iPad, chances are there won't be an app for that.
5-If you already have a MBP or any other laptop, I'd go for the iPad. If/when the iPad falls short(because of the limitations mentioned above) you can use the laptop. And in the mean time, use the iPad for everything else. That way you get the best of both worlds.
6-Studying (reading, highlighting, annotating) is easier and more intuitive on the iPad. The iPad is great for reading, combine that with the fact that you can leave comments/notes just like you would on a physical piece of paper, and you've got the best way to learn IMO.

Whats better for my mbp 2013 retina in the long run? Keep it plugged in as much as possible or letting the battery hit 10% and then recharge it?

Whats better for my mbp 2013 retina in the long run? Keep it plugged in as much as possible or letting the battery hit 10% and then recharge it?

Odd you ask that, since both are HORRIBLE,   ... especially often draining your battery low.
General consideration of your MacBook battery
Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.
However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The only quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.
A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.
If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.
From Apple on batteries:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
"Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count. *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
                          (as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
*Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
*However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”.
                    This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.
Storing your MacBook
If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
Considerations:
Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance. Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery.
Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
In a lithium battery, deep discharges alter the chemistry of the anode to take up lithium ions and slowly damages the batteries capacity for the cathode to transport lithium ions to the anode when charging, thereby reducing max charge levels in mAh. In short, radical swings of power to lithium cells disrupts the chemical ecosystem of the battery to hold charges correctly which likewise impedes the perfect transfer of lithium ions both in charging and discharging. In charging your lithium battery, lithium ions are “pushed uphill” (hard) to the anode, and discharged “downhill” (easy) to the cathode when on battery power. Deep discharges, damages this “upward” electrolyte chemistry for the battery to maintain a healthy charge and discharge balance relative to its age and cycles.
Optimally, in terms of a healthy lithium battery and its condition, it is most happy at 50% between extremes, which is why low-power-drain processors such as the Haswell are ideal on lithium battery health since a partially charged battery with a low-drain processor has, in general, much more usage in hours
Battery calibration, battery memory, battery overcharging, battery training, …all these concepts are mostly holdovers from much older battery technology, and on older Apple portable Macbooks ranging from early nicads, NiMh and otherwise; and these practices do not apply to your lithium battery and its smart controllers.
Calibrating the battery on older Apple portable Macbooks with removable batteries.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14087
There is no calibration of current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490
There is no battery calibration with current Apple portable Macbooks with built-in batteries. Lithium batteries have essentially a 0-‘memory’, and all such calibration involve the estimations fed to the system controller on the SOC (state of charge) of the battery over long periods of time as the battery degrades. The software based battery controller knows the battery's characteristics, or SOC and adjusts itself. This is why there is both no need and purpose to periodically deeply drain your macbook battery, since it doesn’t affect the characteristics of the battery, and further still deep discharges are something you should not do on purpose to any lithium battery.

Whats better for Nano? AAC vs. MPEG3

Whats better for the iPod nano? AAC format or the MP3 layer format?
Dont know whats up with them but my MP3's are mostly in 320kbps Bitrate
just lookin to get the most out of my iPod

Theoretically, MP3s and AACs are the same size at the same bitrate. However, many poeple think a 128 kbps AAC is the same quality as a 192 kbps MP3. Therefore, they take up less space.
The song estimate for the iPod comes from 4:00 songs with a 128 kbps AAC encoding.
Here's a good test for you. Make a copy of one of your songs. Then, go to iTunes Preferences. Go to Advanced>Importing, then change the settings to 128 kbps AAC. Then, highlight the duplicate song. Click Advanced (menu at top)>Convert Selection to AAC. Then, take a look at the size of the file, and see if the quality is still acceptable to you. If its fine, you could do that to your whole library.
I hope this helps!

Whats better for the LCD

Whats better:
A; opening and closing the display every time i leave the computer, or
B; just leaving it open?
Option A. would mean opening and closing the lid about 20 times a day. Would that cause too much wear, or lower the life of the Backlight having it turn on and off all the time like that, or is it worse to just leave it on all the time?

I leave it open because I have an iSkin keyboard protector! (it is useful) Or, you can tilt it down without actually closing it so the dust don't fall directly on your keyboard on screen.
Set Energy saver at Better Battery Life. I only turn the brightness level from 2 notches to halfway.

Whats better for games xp, vista 32, or vista 64?

I have a mac pro 8 core and was wondering whats the best windows OS for running both new and older games?
Whats the difference between them all?

If I put vista 64 in, its a 64 bit OS, meaning anything 32 bit wont work?
Vista uses the WOW (Windows-on-Windows) subsystem to ensure 32-bit compatibility http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64
Nonetheless some programs and games do need some kind of patch in order to run within WOW.
If the manufacturer of these programs/games do not provide these patches, then they won't run.

Whats better for a 13 year old.... iBook or MacBookPro?

I AM deffinetly planning on getting a laptop over the summer. I really wanted to get a Mac, due to good experiences with them in the past. Although.... I am 13. Do you think it would make a difference, if I got the iBook, rather than the Pro? I mean, what are some major drawbacks that the Pro has, that the iBook doesnt. And, will they really counterflick with a 13 year old? Thanks.

I'm not sure your age matters much, although if you carry it around to school, you may be more likely to bang it up than in less demanding uses.
I've had both. For what you describe, the iBook is plenty.
Unfortunately this is a bad time for Mac laptops. The iBook is about to be replaced, but MacBook Pro has a few problem, and is probably more expensive than you need anyway. I'm certainly hoping that by Sept the Macbook Pro's problems are fixed. It's anyone's guess how the first Macbook (i.e. Intel replacement for the iBook) will be. You might want to avoid being one of the first purchasers. A Powerpc iBook is the safest, but might be a bad investment.
Yuck. I don't know.
The main Macbook Pro issues seem to be heat, noise, and wireless. In my opinion none of these is fatal:
* heat; I don't think it is hotter than other computers of similar power, unless you have a defective one. I use it on my lap, as I did my old iBook.
* noise: unless you have a defective unit, the problem is a faint hissing sound when running on batteries; if it bothers you, quietMBP will prevent it, at the cost of a small decrease in battery time. I'm guessing that this will be fixed in software. There's also an odd noise sometimes described as "mooing", presumably from the disk drive or fan. It's not very loud, but could annoy some people.
* wireless. There have been lots of problems reported causing wireless disconnects. I had it, but seem to have fixed it by configuration changes. The problem isn't uniform, and even the people who have it often manage to fix it, so I'm not sure how serious this is.

Whats better for home user, 1 big drive or 2 raid 0 drives?

So I am looking to upgrade from my current 160gig HD and I started reading alot of posts here about raid vs. non raid. I use my mac at home, mainly for photoshop, imovie, itunes, and iweb. For the same price I can buy 1 400gig drive or 2 250 gig ones. I already have a 250gig external FW drive that I back up to daily. So with the cost being the same, is there a really good reason for me not to go with the raid 0 option??
Thanks!!

You might want to check out the barefeats boot drive review at:
http://www.barefeats.com/hard63.html
From the article:
RAID PAIR or INDEPENDENT DRIVES?
"Based on the mixed gains of the RAID pairs over single drives, I hypothesized that there are more avantages to having two independent drives as opposed to a bootable RAID 0 pair. Why? Because things don't happen in sequence. Your normal work flow causes storage events to happen in parallel. To simulate this, I started a duplication of a large file then launched Unreal Tournament 2004. The graph below shows how long it took for UT2004 to finish launching in three configurations: same drive, separate drives, and RAID pair:
graph
Voila! Our hypothesis was correct. When multiple storage events are in play, two separate drives are more efficient than a RAID pair because they function independently."
I agree with this review. A two drive RAID does not always win against a two drive setup. In addition, The WD 400GB does not work well with the internal PowerMac G5 bus. It corrupts data overtime. If its on a host adapter it works well but I doubt that is the configuration you want.
You can get two Maxtor MaxLine III 7V300F0 300GB for $127 each at newegg and that gives you 600GB for a very small price compared to larger drive pricing.
Hope this helps,

What preset MacBook pro would be better for video editing and eventually college?, What preset MacBook pro would be better for video editing and eventually college?

Hi,
I am thinking about getting a MacBook Pro. My current computer is very very old and can not be used. I would like to use it for video editing and eventually to use when I go to college. I want to get one of the preset 13 inch MBPs. I do not know which one will be better for my purposes. Could anyone please help me??

Any computer made today, Windows or Mac, will be MILES ahead of what you are now using.
Raw CPU speed is not the total benchmark of a computer. Look at it this way. A 2.6GHz CPU made today is much faster then a 2.6GHz CPU made just a few years ago, like 3 years ago. the difference between a 2.6 and a 2.9GHz CPU is 3 tens of 1 GHz, 300MHz. The percentage difference is about 8-9 percent (.08-.09). Back when CPUs were listed in MHz, 120, 300, 600, if you have a 300MHz CPU and you replaced it with one that was 300MHz faster that was a Big Jump. You doubled the computing power. Today 300MHz, .3GHz, is next to nothing. Especially for the price jump.
Note that when you make the switch you will either need to update your program, that means Re-Buying most of them, to work on the Mac OS or install a version of Windows in either a Boot Camp partition, Dual booting the Mac, or into a Virtual Machine software program to run the Windows version of those program.
If you decide on a Mac buy the BASE model that is offered for the CPU speed you want. The RAM and hard drive can be upgraded by you for much less then what Apple charges for those upgrades. With the hard drive if you upgrade it to a larger and faster drive, Apple supplies 5400RPM drives, like a 7200RPM drive you get to Keep the original drive to use in any way you like. Like an external drive.

I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows 7. Could i have some advise in what is better for me, Bootcamp or parallels

I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows . Could i have some advise in what is better for me, Bootcamp or Parallels

The Intuit rep said they don't "support" QuickbooksPremier on a "virtual machine." Do you know what I risk by using it, anyway? thanks for the advice about Boot Camp vs Parallels, BTW!
I use QuickBooks Pro for Mac, so I haven't had need to try any of the Windows versions in a VM. But I can't think why it wouldn't work. From within the VM, QuickBooks Premier would believe it is operating on PC hardware within Windows.
I would guess they mean that the multiple user support wouldn't work from within the VM. But I would think that would also work. Windows can see the Internet from within the VM, which means it can see your network. So if Windows can see the network, then QB Premier should be able to, too.
I know you can get Parallels as a demo, and maybe you could get QB Premier as trial software. So if you already have a retail copy of Windows to load into a VM, it would only cost you time to test what's possible.

What is better for flowmeter totalization

What is better for flowmeter totalization, a pulsetrain or current loop? I have the option of using a pulsetrain or a 4-20mA loop. Would I have to integrate if the current loop is chosen?

If you use flowmeters with switch-type sensing (flips over when a given fluid chamber is full), your input signal is digital: a pulse.
It is most obvious to use a counter (available on many DAQ-cards) to totalise the amount of pulses.
Integration of analog signals (like 4-20mA) may give trouble due to drift (non-zero inputs).
