Which app is the best for deleting the apps we do not need?

I am concerned about the fact that when u delet an app, some parts of it still resides within. so what should I do?

I bought AppZapper first, then AppDelete and then downloaded AppCleaner. I've tried all three on the same app and AppDelete seems to be the best of the three. However, AppCleaner is free and is much better than AppZapper.
One thing to keep in mind is that many apps from reputable third-party software companies come with an unistaller. I've been following a MacKeeper thread in the Mountain Lion forum and while it's 'old' uninstaller didn't work too well - leaving annoying popups around - the 2012 version seems to have a good uninstaller. So if you mistakenly downloaded and installed MacKeeper (malware rubbish) recently, using the uninstaller seems to work. Look for uninstallers first - if it's a small app that has no uninstaller, use AppCleaner. Even some of the big third party apps (MS Office 2008, for instance) that don't come with uninstallers have detailed instructions on how to complete remove all traces of their software.
So my rule of thumb is - check for an uninstaller first. If there is none available, use AppCleaner (or AppDelete, if you want to pay for it).
Good luck,
Clinton

Is Java the best for creating business apps?

Hello everyone, I'm new to this. I programmed a bit in VB6 (lame to macho-coders... I know), and I really enjoyed it. Well I havent touched it for years and I havent even bothered trying to remember what I knew after finding out its all gone with .Net.
So I'm employed at a new firm and I'd like to get back the old app building skills I had and more.
I did alot of research on languages and decided that Java was my pick, but I'd like confirmation from someone who knows.
FYI, I only created very simple apps with VB6 a few years ago.. I do not plan to start programming as a career.
I just remember enjoying it immensely and have done side projects in the past for friends and business associates.. but I never got high powered.
I'd like to get deep into a language.
Did I make the right decision between C#/VB.net and Java? Try to be as unbiased as possible, as I realize this is a Java forum.
I chose after reading mainly these links:
http://www.csharpsoft.com/css/article.php?sid=9
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/faq/why_cs.asp
http://www.aspnetpro.com/Opinion/2002/04/asp200204pl_o/asp200204pl_o.asp
http://www.course.com/techtrends/java_0899.cfm (this one was especially convincing for me)
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1499017,00.asp
http://discuss.fogcreek.com/joelonsoftware/default.asp?cmd=show&ixPost=1751
The just I got from most sources was: pick the language based on what you Want to Do.
I want to create business apps, not necessarily cross-platform able ones. 98% of the time my apps will be used on Windows platforms anyway. And the performance boost from MS languages is enticing.
Plus I've read from a few sources that Java is NOT cross platform interopertable.
My main reason for posting is that I'm double guessing my Java inclinations.. because I'm having trouble finding tutorials for "guys like me".
I'd like to know exactly what the heck Swing is, I mean... I got THIS,
"The javax.swing package of classes is used to create GUI components for applets and applications. Project Swing classes enable programmers to specify a different look and feel for each platform, or a uniform look across all platforms. Swing is the project code name for the lightweight GUI components in JFC."
But I have been doubting my decision enough to not download and start playing with whatever the heck Swing is.
Also, AWT looks important but I do not quite grasp how that comes into play either.
Basically I have the latest Java and Netbeans downloaded... is this all I need besides to find a great tutorial (that holds my hand) to get started? Does this Java/Netbeans package have Swing and AWT included inside them?
Or should I stick with VB and go back to VB.Net to create my easy "crankem out" apps?
I have a sinking feeling that would be best for a non-career programmer hobbiest like myself..
Originally I figured Java would teach me a much more popular terse based syntax that would be much better to know if I ever did move on....
Thanks for reading.

THANK YOU to everyone that has replied this far. As you might have been able to tell from my disoriented post.. I have alot of questions and some questions I'm not exactly sure how to ask.
To define business applications- I was referring to these two ideas that SteveW2 coined: "Applications that front end a database? Multi user thin client apps? "
Mostly front end to a database and thin client apps.
Also, I should add my employer does have a full MSDN subscription so I do have access to everything at MSDN.
We have Visual Studio .Net 2003 at work as well. My company mostly programs in "MS" languages FYI.
I hope it was quite clear that I'm no zealot on brand. I'm a complete capitalist (hence the name), and have always been, "best of breed". So I have absolutely no language preference.
For general info, I am the network admin at my place of business and also do sales with small to mid-sized businesses.. but my degree is in local area network technology.
My interest in beginning programming again stems just for my personal interest... someday I DO plan to start my own business but not for quite some time. So programming is just something I used to enjoy to a small extent.
To be precise, I was only exposed to VB6. None before, none after. I created fun apps like a calculator, a simple database program, a program that half-heartedly 'locked' you out of a Win95/98 workstation without the password... things like that. And for now and the foreseeable future, thats an idea of the extent I wish to take this new venture.
I found it very simple and easy... good things as long as its still powerful... and it appears DotNet has equalized the languages (J#/C#/C++/C/VB) to a large extent. Please feel free to elaborate on why I'm correct or not correct on this analysis.
To address my "98%" statement, I meant in the foreseeable future everything I would ever create will be on ran on a Win32 system. But I do play around with Linux and wouldnt scoff at the idea of interoperability..
Being locked into MS platforms doesnt bother me either. So you probably have a feel for my neutrality.
I never realized how some people feel very strongly about languages (referring to most of the web, the responses here seem to be very fair considering I'm at Sun's site itself)!
I'm definitely more confused than ever now with the conflicting opinions.
But providing exactly WHAT I want to do with the language, will help.
I provided an example of some of the things I've done, and plan to do.. but there is one thing I've been wanting to create for years that will probably give you the best idea for my ambitions.
I'd like to create a family genealogy app, that allows me to integrate my GEDCOM files (the standard for family history files) into, integrate easy to view family photos/stories/videos... I'd like to put this program on a CD and distribute it at the family christmas some year.
Whatever language would be the best for this? Keep in mind even though I dont have strong feelings about having interoperability or not... that my time that I'm going to be investing in language "X", I DO feel it important that I learn good coding practice.
Something I always doubted about the extremely easy, and lax, VB6.
Thanks again for reading and taking the time to reply.

Which Adobe product is best for me?

My wife and I are in the travel business. I like to make 8½ x 11 flyers for our cruise promotions. I start with a blank page and add images and text to make a composite, and then save it off in pdf. I've been using an old XP version of Microsoft Picture It! running in XP Mode on Windows 7. I need to upgrade to something more modern that will handle eps files, etc. I'm not a graphic designer, so the Adobe product line is confusing for me. So which product would be best for me, the cheaper the better? Thanks

For the time spent learning how to use Illustrator and the cost of it you could probably hire a professional.
If you want to do it yourself for a small company, avoid Adobe all together unless you want to use their 30 day trails - google it for info.
Gimp is good, free, simple. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
And as above, Publisher and Expression design can be OK - generally it's what you do with the software not the software itself.

Which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming?

I have many novels saved under *.htm, doc and pdf.
I'm using Quick Office, but when I zoom in, I have to slide the screen from side to side just to watch the whole things, which make my eyes feel very tired.
So I need your help about which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming, I mean, when you zoom in, you just have to slide vertically to see the whole documents, and don't have to slide horizontally.

All running on Wine 1.1.7, Oblivion is running around 150 mods, and QTP3, Body mods, High res texture packs for the character skins, with HDR lighting. As you can see the FPS does not change, it fluctuated between 19-20 on all three runs.
Especially with Dual cores, you will find that games do not loose FPS even with things like a lightweight music player running in the background. Windows scheduler simply was not made for that kind of thing, and benifits alot more from a lower number of background processes. I wont say linux does not benifit, but with Dual cores and CFS, it is not really noticable anymore.
Wait, does that mean you have better performance while you are running more stuff? Does the desktop manager handle graphics better?
This really did confuse me...

Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
Good luck,
Clinton

Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

Hi
I have just been given an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.
From what I have seen it is the pa3400u-1brs but i just wanted confirmation as I am planning to buy it in Japan as it is probably cheaper.
Also, is there any information on how long this battery lasts?
thanks

Hi there,
this battery would fit for your machine 100%. I have the same one in almost the same machine. Dont worry, just buy it.

I am considering getting an iphone... Which model is the best for me to get?

I am considering getting an iphone... I do not care about getting the "latest gadget", but have all apple products and would love the convenience of the calendar, music, camera, etc... on my phone. Which model is the best for me to get?
Is it really worth it for the newest (and most expensive) model, or is the 3G sufficient for regular use? or is the 4 now the most basic model I should invest in? or do I really have to get the 4S?

I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!

i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset. I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

After completed as an MBA HR & System, Which module is the best for freshers ??

Hi, I am Samrat Saha. I completed my post graduation as an MBA (HR&System). I did BCA in my graduation and did Higher secondary in commerce. I want to build my career in SAP. But I have some questions::
1. If i go for SAP then which module is the best for me..??
2. As a fresher is companies showing any interest to recruit..??
3. I hard a Course from Victoria University, Melborn, That Is "Master of Business (Enterprise Resource planning System) with SAP".. Is this Master degree worthy to do??
Message was edited by: Sarah Kellman

Hello Samrat,
It is not possible to provide guidance on what career path you should take. This is a conversation you need to have with a Career Planner or perhaps one of your professors. You should follow the path you are most interested in, be it a functional role or a technical role. Ideally you may want to consider getting some work experience in both fields, and then determine which area you wish to pursue.
You state you have an MBA in HR & System....System what?? System development? Technology? Programming? Data Warehousing? Even HR is a vast area within the SAP world. We have Payroll, Recruiting, Self Services, Compensation, Time Management, Learning Management Systems, etc. Most consultants select one or two areas to pursue. There is no such thing as a single person who knows the complete SAP HR solution...it's just too big!
I will suggest that you consider taking an SAP HR course so that you can get an idea as to how large the application is. There are lots of courses available in e-learning. I would recommend either SAPHRE or HR050E to start. Once you have completed one of these, you'll be in a better position to decide what you want to do, or at least decide what you don't want to do.
Good Luck!

If that's what you're using and it actually works, albeit slowly, I'd suggest taking The hatter's advice and go with the 6 core Mac Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 5870 video card. The RAM could come from here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1333-memory
