Which is better for writers, iPad or Macbook Air?

In the market for a portable writing product since my MacBook Pro is getting older and not that easy to carry around. Write in Word and have a blog to manage. Would an iPad work easily or should I choose MacBook Air? Esp. since I'll need to purchase a new MBP later.

Well, as for iOS 7... it does pretty much the same things as iOS 6 :-)
As for swipe-toggling screens for research, I wouldn't recommend it for the following reasons:
* first, every time you toggle screen you're dragging 4 fingers across the screen. Wow-factor in the Apple store, not so much as an every-day routine. Tip: you can do it via the keyboard (apparently.... I found a how-to but got tired of it halfway through and never resumed it... it's not as straightforward as it should be)
* second, you're toggling into a web browser that's far less capable than a standard one, hold less tabs in a convenient way. Sure, there's no hard limit, but after 4-5 tabs it gets messy. And you can't open another window of the same browser, so you're just stuck.
Just for comparison, as I write I have 16 tabs open just in one window of my browser. Of course, some of those tabs are used by mail and facebook, whereas the iPad has dedicated apps, but for the rest, as they say... there isn't an app for that, and I need all of those tabs.
And, big deal, god knows why the iPad can't hold still those tabs! I mean, if you let a tab sit still for 2 minutes (I haven't actually timed it, but it's short), that tab has to re-load when you open it! Not ideal when I just want to continue watching that page...
Just some fodder for thought :-)

Which is better for education iPad or Macbook air?

I am a grade 8 student and I walk around quite a bit in school and I would like to know which one is better for me?
Which is better for school, and no I can not get the discount.
Macbook Air or
iPad
If macbook Air which size and specs would you reccomend?
And if iPad which storage option, white or black do you reccomend?
And should I buy the iPad 2 or the new one.

Great question.
Word processing for iOS is fantastic, but not as good for citations and things as on the macbook air, though footnotes will be preserved.
The new textbook options on ipad are compelling. You should find out if any of your school textbooks are on there by searching the itunes store. If so, ipad is your choice.
They are different categories of products. the macbook air is an excellent computer.
But I guess I feel this way -- why don't you buy a desktop for the home. and an ipad for school? If you feel you can get all of your notetaking, paper drafts etc. done on ipad, then you can use mountain lion (coming out this summer) to keep it all in sync when you go home.
I do have to warn you that I tried taking my ipad to work. If you use google docs at all, you may find some limitations sometimes. If you stick within the icloud universe, (pages, keynote, and numbers), you may be mostly happy.

Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

The MacBook Pro has higher specifications, depending
on the model, and then CTO additional upgrades.
The Air does not have a Retina display, but has lesser
specs, so that may make a difference. They still offer a
low-end MB/Pro w/ optical drive, w/o Retina; specs vary;
it may work in your instance. You'd have 14 days to take
a new Apple computer back, so keep that in mind.
Good luck!

In view of the fact that there are numerous applications that run properly while creating a lot of internal heat in a MBP indicates that it does not follow that heat is an inhibiting factor (within designed parameters). Thus my comment is certainly not opion, rather fact. You certainly are entitled to your reply but a third party reader should be be apprised of what the facts are.

Which is better for physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

Which is better for a physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

Macbook Air
I cannot see you using strenuous applications to help you with a Physical Therapy Degree.
Have a think of whether you want an 11" or 13".
I'd recommend the 13" because although the 11" is perfect for taking notes in class etc.; when it comes to performing as a desktop and not sitting on your lap, it can seem too small.
The 13" is the best of both worlds. You can keep the portability and the power in one.
Make sure you get a large enough SSD, they always fill up fast with documents and possibly downloaded text books etc.
With the 13" if you decide to create a innovative project or a collection of photos, you can also use more RAM-consuming applications like iPhoto and iMovie, or even Aperture without worrying about freezing.

Which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ??

which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ?? iPad air 2 or d macbook pro?? what abt iPad pro ?? plz suggest one for me plz

Some educational site are behind the times. At times, they require software that isn't available on the ipad. You should visit an apple store and try the educational site with the ipad. Considering that you have an iMac, I'd lean in the direction of the iPad.

I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air. I'm looking for an app or program where I can track time spent of specific projects each day and also document details of each project. Is there anything available that is synced through iCloud?

I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air. I'm looking for a program or app that I can sync though iCloud that will allow me to us all of these devices to track time spent on projects each day along with the ability to add specific information about each project. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

I recommend you consider Omnifocus. It is a task management program which runs on the Mac, Iphone & Ipad. I use it for task management and project management. It let's you store additional information as well. I sync all three devices through a Mobile Me account and I can enter data on any device and it is available on all devices. I believe you can also sync through Dropbox. I'm not sure that you can sync through iCloud yet. The link to their website is: www.omnigroup.com. There may be less expensive alternatives, but this one meets my needs and syncs very well across all devices.

Quicktime Pro VS Sorenson Squeeze which is better for uploading to YouTube?

I'm thinking of buying Quicktime Pro or Sorenson Squeeze - which is better for uploading to YouTube? Which would give my video better quality?
Also, with regard to Sorenson Squeeze: The website says these are its requirements - could someone explain what each of them means in logical terms?
Mac OS X system requires:
Power PC with G5 processor or greater or Intel processor - (I'll be using this program with a MacBook Pro - will this work?)
Mac OS X 10.4 or later - (Again, will this work with a MacBook Pro?)
512 MB of RAM
QuickTime 7.2 or later
DirectX 9.0b or later (What is this and how will I get it? Is it free?)
* Mac users must have the Flip4Mac plugin from Telestream (Is this plugin free?) ** Windows only feature * Plugin sold separately
Please be as specific as possible.
Thank you so much in advance for answering my questions! It is really helpful!

First.
You have no control over the conversion to Flash video (done during the YouTube upload) if you use QuickTime .mov format.
Second.
YouTube does allow H.264 Video for its "high quality" display so you would want a QuickTime .mov container.
Now you are even more confused than when you started.
Flip4Mac allows export from QuickTime (and apps like iMovie that use it) to Windows Media Player (.wmv) formats. They will also be converted to Flash Video by YouTube so you gain nothing by using it.
You don't need Squeeze, QuickTime Pro or the Flip4Mac upgrades. Just use iMovie 7 (part of iLife '08).

all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I
like the GUI much
more than other versions...

Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
Hope this cleart your doubt..

Which is better for servers, Apache or Tomcat?

For some reason that link I gave you isn't working right now, but it was today, weird. I would get Tomcat simple because sun uses it in its examples and recommends it. Here's sun's link then, it's probably more useful anyway. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/

Which is better for newbies?

Which is better for newbies, Jgrasp or Netbeans? I need something that explains errors more thoroughly than Jgrasp.

Here's my code with 3 errors. Now bear in mind that my program has compiled completely and ran correctly up to this method. All I'm trying to do with this method is get the average of all grades in a multi-array. I researched and found some code that was similar to what I needed to do but it's not working out yet. All other methods in my program work perfectly but I can't get this one to compile.
public double getMean(int allGrades[][])
          int total = 0;
          for (int grade : allGrades)
          total += grade;
     System.out.println("Total is "+getMean(grades));
          return total/allGrades.length;
} // end class GradeBookGradebook.java:100: illegal start of type
          return total/allGrades.length;
