Which  is better calibration device: Spyder2 or Huey?

Which monitor calibration device do you prefer? Spyder2 or Huey, or something else?
Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   23-inch Apple Cinema Display

You are probably better off looking for an online review comparing the two online.
I went through this 3 months ago when I was looking for a Hardware Calibrator. So, I can speak to this from my own experience between an EyeOne-2 and a Spyder2.
For example, of the reviews I have read between the Syder2 and GreyTagMacbeth, the Spyder is consitently mentioned as having more calibration options, but being insanely slow in calibration. The Eye-One has less calibration options, but is very fast. Both are very accurate. I now own the Eye-One and use it as part of my digital workflow for my photography businees.
Here are a couple of links to reviews for you:
a) MacWorld (which I do not totally trust) - http://www.macworld.com/2005/03/reviews/monitorcalibrator/index.php
b) DryCreek photo (a little out of date - 2005, but more accurate with detailed views on performance & accuracy) - http://drycreekphoto.com/Learn/monitorcalibrationtools.htm
Hope that helps you a little.

  • Which is better, Kindle Plugin or Calibre?

    I am wanting to create a kindle friendly file of the book I am working on. I know that Amazon released a Kindle Plugin for ID but I have read that there are various issues that it has because it is free and a beta version. Anyway, for those of you who have converted epub to mobi (using Calibre) and the Kindle Plugin. Which is better?
    Thanks!

    Gpcn,
    I'm going to highly recommend the new Airport Extreme. I've been having all sorts of wifi and networking issues because of the saturated 2.4 GHz spectrum in my surrounding neighborhood.
    I finally bit the bullet on friday night and purchased the Airport Extreme. I could not be happier!
    I used to top out at around 8 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload with my older Linksys setup. Now i'm getting 40+ Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s respectively.
    Not only that, but i'm no longer dropping my wifi with my devices (latops, iPads, iPhone, etc). It's very consistent and the speeds are amazing!
    Sure it may be pricier than others, but it's worth every penny. The setup is very easy and you get Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting computers or network devices as well as built-in NAT support for security. You are better off getting the Airport Extreme.

  • Which is better an android or apple

    Which is better getting an android smart phone or an Apple I Phone?

    As the poster Horses 547 said its a matter of personal preference. However I own and use both. Printing via air print is smooth and easy on an iphone. Printing on a android phone is iffy and tedious and you will have to find an app to print since there is no native app to do so. I purchased http://www.printhand.com which costs around $12 from the app store. but it is in my opinion the best printing app out there for android. I use it on my android tablet as well and its great. This company is the maker of the print app on iphones.
    The iphone is a little harder to put your own ringtone on the device. However very easy from the Itunes you put on your computer and hook into.
    Another thing an iphone does is if you use their cloud service or pay for a song it is available on all your ios devices. Iphone, ipad, or ipod or up to five computers registered through itunes on those computers.
    Google play music also can sync with all your android devices.
    Iphone don't have external Micro SD card slots, so the storage on the phone is all you have.
    Iphones use imessage which does not count against your text allotment  to another iphone or ipad user. it send regular text to non iphone users.
    Another thing is Face Time but I found a better program called oovoo at http://www.oovoo.com or in the Google Play Store for free.
    Iphones are paper thin but I have an android that has a larger view area and is also paper thin and light. Depending on the android phone it may have a removable battery, whereas iphones are sealed as are some new androids. I have found the sound for music better on my iphone, and videos are crystal clear. Again on some better androids the music and video is comparable .
    There is really not many differences but it up to the user.
    One last good thing is iphones are updated via Apple, no long waits for OS updates like is done with Android devices, and android devices on Verizon.

  • Which is better poower supply or recharge??

    which is better while i'm using my Mac : to put the power supply even if the battery is full or recharge every time the battery dies and remove the power supply??

    There's nothing wrong with running from the AC adaptor. You cannot overcharge the battery nor will it cause any battery memory effects.

  • New Macbook Pro...Hard drive vs Flash...which is better?

    I'm looking to upgrade my '07 iMac to a new Macbook Pro. I'm wondering whether to get the hard drive or flash drive....any suggestions as to which is better? Also, going with the Retina display I lose the DVD drive & would have to go with an external drive...is that display worth losing the drive??

    No. It's power hungry and it has issues.
    I'm wondering whether to get the hard drive or flash drive....
    Flash drive will give you less problems and is shock reistant, but the data you store on it can be accessed even if deleted.
    There is a device from Cellibrite that can be used to gleam the password and retrieve all data of a flash based cell phone, iPad etc, even if deleted. So natually flash based computer will be added to the list and Apple is cooperating to do this at the request of the government for fast access/copying at Customs etc, regardless of Filevault.
    So a traditional hard drive offers a chance to really delete data, provided the 7x erase (far right selection) is used.
    It also seems Apple has removed the 0x and 7x descriptions from 10.7, 10.8 Disk Utility, just giving you secure and more secure options, not telling you the specifics because 7x is Department of Defense level erase, meaning special magnetic instruments can't be used to recover data off a 7x erased hard drive.
    going with the Retina display
    Also you can't open it up, add RAM, remove/replace storage or fix it.
    After three years when your AppleCare is up, you have to toss the Retina as nobody can repair it.
    Unlike the 15" antiglare, it can go on a lot longer due to third party repair options, new drive, keyboard, more RAM, new fans etc.
    Also the screen is viewable in nearly all conditions, unlike the Retina's glossy display.

  • Which is better to sync, wifi or iCloud?

    I heard that you shouldn't sync with itunes and icloud.  Which is better, and how do you set that up?

    Where did you hear you shouldn't use these?
    You're comparing apples and oranges. Wifi sync is a way to wirelessly sync with iTunes on your Mac or PC. This includes content that you've purchased, content that you've ripped from your own CD collection, as well as things like playlists, song ratings, etc. This is just to replace plugging in your USB cable as you've always had to do in the past.
    iCloud is a way to store some of your content on Apple's servers and retrieve it on any iCloud enabled device. Note this includes only content you've purchased (music, movies, tv shows) or content you've created using iCloud-enabled apps like Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. iCloud doesn't let you sync "metadata" such as playlists, song ratings, etc. if you add a song to a playlist on your iPhone, it won't show up on that same playlist on your iPad, Mac, or PC because you use iCloud. It only gets moved on those other devices after you sync. iCloud also provides a means to keep calendars, contacts, notes, and reminders the same across multiple devices. Finally, iCloud let's you backup your device to the cloud instead of to your Mac or PC, which is handy feature as you don't have to worry about losing your backup should your Mac or PC fail.
    You can choose to use iCloud and not wifi sync, or use wifi sync and not iCloud, or use both or use neither. They are independent of one another and provide different functions.
    Personally, I use both. I wirelessly sync so my iDevices are up to date, and I take advantage of iCloud for my backups, calendar, contacts, etc.

  • Which is better: 2-wire or 3-wire transmitter

    Dear Sirs,
    I am going to buy two NI modules 9203. The problem I am facing now is related to the transmitters (pressure transmitter and resistance thermometer). The output of the transmitters is 4-20 mA. I have the option either to get the transmitter with 2-wire or 3-wire output. 
    I want to know which is better regarding the accuracy of the readings and the noise, taking into account that the cable will 5 meter long.
    Thanks for your help.
    Yours,
    Ehab

    In industrial nomemclature, a two wire transmitter is powered by the receiving device over the same two wires as the signal (4-20mAdc). The power is typically 24 VDC.
    A 3-wire transmitter requires two wires for signal and three additional wires for power.
    There are howevr some dc powered transmitters with special shielding that use a three wire connection. It must be compatible with both the transmitter and the reciever.
    Another tip is to always use a 4 wire RTD for maximum accuracy up to hundreds of meters. For short runs a 3-wire RTD will usually be satisfactory IF all three wires are of equal rresistance.

  • Which is better with a NAS: using Sharing or Library location?

    So I've got my brand new NAS up and running (Netgear ReadyNAS 104).
    It has a Music folder with an iTunes server so I can use it as a Shared Library.
    But I can also point my iTunes to the NAS and use the library directly from the NAS.
    So which is better? Using the NAS as a Shared Library or use the NAS as the primary Library?
    I want multiple devices (primarily Apple devices, but perhaps also a Windows laptop) to be able to use the media.
    What about library management? Like when ripping an audio CD. When I use the NAS as a shared library, do I need to manually copy the CD to the NAS iTunes share and have iTunes re-scan?

    Well... I downloaded LibreOffice and Writer2ePub and openned my Atlantis doc in it and converted to epub file. The good news is it didn't cost a dime.
    The bad news is one image is now tiny which is odd because it was 600 dpi so I would think it could be displayed larger, not smaller but maybe the epub conversion downsizes a higher res image (some are 300dpi).
    The cover image shows up in iBook as a wide and short image. The cover itself is tiny and then it just fills in black for the rest of the screen width. I used a large, high res image.
    Then there was something with the TOC. It created a good TOC but then there's another page with a none hypertext version and a big rectangle error message and the TOC only shows about half of the chapters.
    There was some advice on the internet about centering images in iBook. It seems that iBook doesn't recognize text justification coded in a document. So you have to embed another element on the same line as the image (html stuff) and give it a center alignment tag. I haven't done any html ebook stuff so I may not be explaining that the best way possible.
    So, I'm going to take another look at my iBook Author version and see if I can live with that. If not I'll probably try Pages although I don't know what other problems I'll run into. Fun, fun, fun

  • Which is Better Nokia Asha 303 or Nokia Asha 311

    Can you tell me which is better 303 or 311?

    hmm.. as owner of both phones, I would like to say my bet.
    Actually, there are lots of difference on both phones. I'll dice it up.
    1. Homescreen
    On 303 the homecscreen is the same as other s40 devices , you know, the "active standby" thingy, where you can stack up a pile of shortcuts on the homescreen.
    On the 311 however, it has 3 different homescreens, the app drawer where all your apps are displayed, the active standby where you can put your favorite apps and contacts as a shortcut, and your frequently used app (music player, radio, or dialler) which you can jump to and from with just a swipe from left or right.
    2. Input method
    On the 303, it has a full physical keyboard, which eases up the typing experience, branding the 303 as "type smarter". To be honest, I truly miss that keyboard.
    On the 311 however, it has a virtual keyboard and the usual phone keypad (virtual also). They can automatically turn to landscape mode if you will turn the phone to landscape. In writing this comment, I am using my 311, as my 303 died when it plunged into the pool.
    3. Camera
    both features a 3.2mp camera, which is good for a higher than basic photo and video capturing. You can view my videos on my yt channel (MultiCadmiel) where I used a 303, and 311.
    Noticebly, the meer difference on the two is their mic. The 303 can capture every sound pitch, as on my videos I am capturing trains passing by. Whenever a train horns on thr 303, it can capture the sound without distortion. But the story is different on the 311, even a single horn can distort the mic.
    4.Speaker
    the 303 is impresibly a great boom box, voicing out a great sound quality thru it's speakers, again it is not the same with the 311. The 311 is not that loud, but who thr heck would use loudspeaker while inside the bus? Headsets are available.
    5. Internet
    here, the 311 boast as being faster on loading internet pages, as well as download speed.
    There are still many to consider, but overall, both are better for me.
    If you want a full qwerty experience, use the 303, if you want a full touched phone, use the 311.
    Oh, I forgot to mention that the camera on the 311 automatically rotates to landscape or portrait, a thing missing on the 303.
    Nokia Lover since childhood.
    my phones are 3120c, 303, and 311.

  • Best Professional Color Calibration Device?

    I'm looking to upgrade my Pantone huey to a more professional color calibration device that will also incorporate my printing equipment. I've been looking at the Colormunki. Does anyone have any experience with the Colormunki? Also, what's the difference between the Colormunki Design and Photo?
    Thanks!

    I purchased X-Rite ColorMunki Photo last week and has been very pleased with my decision. I had a bad experience with Pantone Huey Pro. Don't use this or even considering to invest into it. I had Pantone Huey Pro a year ago or so. I also own a X-Rite ColorMunki Create, too.
    As for 'best' professional color calibration device, there are different types of calibration devices. Some only for printer calibration only. Other calibration device is done for monitor only. In the case of X-Rite ColorMunki Photo, it is capable of calibrating monitor, printer calibration and projector calibration. It is ideally designed for busy photographers who want to spend lot of time photo shooting rather than spend lot of time on computer and lot of time with calibration, this is for photographers or pronsumers.
    As for the very best professional calibration device, you are talking about calibration devices costs more than a grand or two or higher. For printing large format, fine art prints on high-end format printer, more specialized and more expensive calibration to do just for this purpose.
    While for X-Rite ColorMunki Design, it is ideally designed for graphic designers or creative professionals.
    Also, X-Rite ColorMunki Photo and Design has pretty nice short training DVD (or downloaded flash file from X-Rite after registration and activation).
    Hope that helps.

    I have an Ipod classic which was the original device connected to Itunes.

    The right way to consolidate your music is to copy it from one computer to another. You can copy music from an iPod classic though:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer:

    When the music is all in the same library, sync the Touch.
    You will still need to authorize your computer to play purchased music. For that, use the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

    Hi gurus!
    Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
    What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
    Thankful for advice
    Sari

    ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
    classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
    instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
    >
    but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
    it happen at translation time so will it create any
    type of burden for my code if i import multiple
    classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
    It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

  • Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

    Hi,
    We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
    Here are our main concerns/desires:
    Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
    We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
    We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
    With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
    Thanks, Sam

    hello,
    SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the 
    Premium Preview
    for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
    If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
    performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.
