Which is better rubberized hard case or a hard case?

Planning on buying a Macbook Pro case.... Which do you think is better?

Rubberized hard case is easier to get on/off, hard case protects better. As far as the brand, I use Incase and am very happy with it.

Which is better for phone protection?

Simple question, just looking for some advice from current owners of this phone. I will be getting this phone within a few weeks and am planning on buying something so I have it for when I get the phone.
Which is better: a flip case with no screen protector, or a standard case with one? I don't want to get the screen scratched (it happened on my current phone despite the Gorilla Glass), and I tend to put the phone in my pocket with my keys.
Also, are there any recommendations for a case/screen protector? I haven't chosen a screen protector yet, but am looking. Ideally, I'm looking for a screen protector that feels like there's not one on the screen, won't interfere with the stylus, and won't interfere with the quality of the screen.
Here's what I'm currently looking at on both sides for a case:
Flip Case (I looked at the official Samsung one but it doesn't appear to completely protect the phone.)
Standard Case (Open to other suggestions but this one seemed to have the best combo of protection and price.)

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.

Rubberized Hard Case?

Just asked this(person was helpfull but didn't know) Is Rubberized Hard case a good case? IS it better than a plain hard case, or do you think that it gets easily dirty and is hard to lean. I like the idea of a silicon feel but I'm hesitant to get one.

"Heat disspation" requires air cooling all parts of all surfaces of the aluminum case, not just small vents.
If you were talking about a ventilated bottom metal support that has external powered fans to force more air over the surfaces, I would agree with with you.
But blocking air contact with any part of the surface is not wise.
If you want to eliminate all risk of scratches or surface blemishes, I would not even try. Just be careful. You can also buy a "personal articles rider" for homeowner's or renter's insurance that covers significant bosy damage, but I expect the policy I have on mine to cover dropping ofr theft instead of simple scratches.

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.

Control stmt CASE vs IF - Which is better

Hi,
I'm in the process of retrieving data from a table that has millions of rows. Now I need to count the numbers of rows where a particular field,TR_STATUS is either 'A','G' or 'K'. I have three different variables to hold the count on the rows with the respective values in the field, TR_STATUS I'm retrieving the rows into nested tables and am using a FOR loop, inside which a IF or a case should be written inorder to perform the count based on the value. From performance perspective, which one of these two control statements is preferred. please advise
Thanks

Or even
CREATE TABLE testtable AS
SELECT DECODE(TRUNC(DBMS_RANDOM.VALUE(1,4)), 1, 'A', 2,'B', 3,'C') AS tr_status
FROM   user_tables;
Table created.
SELECT SUM(DECODE(tr_status,'A',1)) AS count_a
     , SUM(DECODE(tr_status,'B',1)) AS count_b
     , SUM(DECODE(tr_status,'C',1)) AS count_c
FROM   testtable;
   COUNT_A    COUNT_B    COUNT_C
        12          6         11
1 row selected.orSELECT COUNT(DECODE(tr_status,'A','#')) AS count_a
     , COUNT(DECODE(tr_status,'B','#')) AS count_b
     , COUNT(DECODE(tr_status,'C','#')) AS count_c
FROM   testtable;
   COUNT_A    COUNT_B    COUNT_C
        12          6         11
1 row selected.Whatever you use though, SQL will be fast and slogging around a loop with IF statements will be slow.

Which is Better Mac or Windows?

Which is Better Mac or Windows?
I got told that Windows is better than Mac.
I need to know:
1. How long an iMac lasts and how long a Windows computer last till they die and not work. (Prediction will do)
2. Why lots of people hate Mac and say that Mac's are crap.
3. Is a iMac worth the cost?
4. Is an iMac harder to use than a Windows computer?
Thank You
From Apple is The Best!!!!!!!

The case of Apple v. Windows is a subjective argument. Both systems have their merits, both have some aspects that some users don't like. Much depends on what you actually want to use them for.
Here is some reading material for you!
A Customer Experience Index report from Forrester Research came to the conclusion after studying almost 4,600 computer users' experiences from 2008 and asking them to score the ease of use of their computers, how enjoyable the experience is and whether or not the systems fulfill their owners' needs.

Which is better,the Apple TimeCapsule or the WD MyCloud for backing up pixs and datas?

I am not too sure which is better for backing up my pixs that i have saved and dont want to lose them,am thinking which would be best for me to purchase?the apple timecapsule or the wd mycloud,i heard great things about both but not sure from someone who got experience,so could u help me out and tell me which is better and why?
thanks in advance...

Backup is backup. Doesn't matter how you do it, but that you do it.
Given the choice you posited I would choose the Time Capsule if you want to use Time Machine. If you wish to use third-party backup software then you can only use the WD. It comes with its own proprietary backup software. Or you can go another direction and avoid cloud/network backup which is very slow.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
     capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

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.

Is it possible to buy an external casing into which a backplane ready hard

Is it possible to buy an external casing into which a backplane ready hard drive will slot?
After I set up a RAID 0 array, I will have a spare 640GB hard drive ( the original Apple one), and I was wondering whether it is possible to purchase an empty external casing which would house it.
Just a thought!
Or am I living in dreamland?

Many thanks for the advice.
Unfortunately, the range of ancillary products available to Mac users in the UK is very limited compared to the States.
I was unable to track down any UK resellers of FirmTek enclosures, and I am reluctant to import from abroad, because it would be too much hassle to return products in the event of a fault.
After a lot of googling I thought I had found the ideal solution when I came across a Macally Voyager Q Dock review in a back issue of MacWorld UK. However, although some Macally products are sold by UK resellers, I could only find the Voyager Q available from OWC.
I came across lots of external hard drive cases, enclosures and docks, but invariably they were USB2.0 and/or eSATA, with a few also having FW400 ports.
Eventually I tracked down one case and one dock, stocked by Storage Depot Co. UK, which had FW400, FW800, eSATA, and USB2.0 connectivity. I decided that the single bay case was the best option for me, and I have placed an order for one.
If any UK Mac users are looking for either a single bay case, or dock, for SATA drives, with FW800 connectivity, these are the respective links for the case and the dock:

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 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... Sleep or shutdown?

Which is better for your computer... sleep or shutdown?
Thanks

Technically, it doesn´t matter much if you shut your computer down or just put it to sleep., i.e. nothing is more detrimental to your computer´s "well-being" than the other, respectively.
I´m not sure about the Sleep Mode with the iMac, but I believe it´s a suspend-to-ram, right?
That would mean any unsaved data isn´t saved and could get lost if the computer fails to wake up from sleep.
That could be a point against making the computer sleep.
When it´s sleeping, the computer will also consume a steady, albeit very low quantity of electrical power. From an energy-saving standpoint, that could also be counted as a negative aspect.
MacBooks and MBPs use suspend-to-disk as sleep mode, which means the contents of the ram is saved onto the hard drive and then the computer is fully turned off. Takes a bit longer than suspend-to-ram.
I always put my computers to sleep... both my iBook G3 and my Win laptop.
My win laptop will automatically enter suspend-to-disk after 2 hours if it isn´t used again by then.

Which is Better? Mac or PC?

Which is Better?
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hello,
I'm not going to argue that a Mac is better, but I do have a response to:
looking computers and the software is great however
they have major compatibility issues. for example
many websites do not support mac's Ex.
www.aircanada.com
I have never had any problem exchanging documents or viewing web pages with the Mac.
All my document exchanges have worked flawlessly, and work going both to and from Windows PC's.
But, you need to make sure you are using the right program on the Mac if you want to share files with PC users.
As for the website compatibility, the site you provided as an example will work just fine. They just don't want you to know it.
What that website is doing, is running a check to see what web-browser you are using. Beyond that, they are also running a check to see which computer you are using.
So, what you need to do is make sure that your browser tells their website what it wants to hear.
So, in Safari, you can use the "Debug" menu to have Safari report itself as the Windows version of Internet Explorer.
Go to the Debug menu, then pick "User Agent", then choose: "Windows MSIE 6.0".
If the site still won't load, then go to the site first, and perform the selection again from the Debug menu.
Basically, what you are doing is changing what Safari identifies itself as.
Additionally, the website that you listed does list that it is compatible with Mac OS 9.0 or later. So, it should work provided you pass it's checks.
If for some reason it still won't work, contact them since they say that it is compatible with the Mac.
The only sites that absolutely will not work with a Mac are sites that use "Active X" to take over control of your computer or communicate directly with the operating system. Fortunately, those sites are getting rarer and rarer.
The only site I've run across in recent times that uses Active X is Microsoft's Windows Update site (which you wouldn't need with a Mac anyway).
As for enabling the "Debug" menu in Safari, if it is not already there, you can do that by:
Closing Safari
Open "Terminal" which is located at:
Hard Drive --> Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal
Then type the following at the command line:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
If you would prefer an automated method of enabling the Debug menu, you can always download the free Safari Enhancer program which includes a setting for this feature:

Coding Preference ..Which is better for memory?

Hey all,
Javas garbage collection is sweet. However, I was reading somewhere that setting some objects to null after I'm done with them will actually help.
(help what .. I'm not sure.. my guess is memory used by the JVM)
Thus I have two ways to do the same thing and I'd like to hear peoples comments on which is "better" ... or will yield faster performance.
Task: I have a Vector of Strings (called paths) that hold absolute file paths. (Don't ask why I didn't use a String[]) I'd like to check and see if they exist, and if not, create them... I'll use the createNewFile() method for that.
Method A -- Here I'll reuse that File object
public void myMethod()throws Exception{
File file = null;
for(int i = 0; i < paths.size(); i++){
file = new File(paths.get(i).toString());
boolean made = file.createNewFile();
if(made){doSomething();}
file = null;
}Method B -- Here I'll use um... "dynamically made" ones that I won't eventually be set back to null
public void myMethod()throws Exception{
for(int i = 0; i < paths.size(); i++){
boolean made = (new File(paths.get(i).toString())).createNewFile();
if(made){doSomething();}
}So when the code eventually exists myMethod, the object "file" will be out of scope and trashed.... correct? If thats the case, then would there be any other differences between the two implementations?
Thanks

There's no real difference between the two. Choose the style you prefer,
although in the first one I'd lose the "file = null" statement since that
variable is about to disappear, and I'm move the definition into the loop
-- always give variables as small a scope as possible, mainly to
keep the logic simple:
public void myMethod()throws Exception{
    for(int i = 0; i < paths.size(); i++){
        File file= new File(paths.get(i).toString());
        boolean made = file.createNewFile();
         if(made){doSomething();}
}
