Which is better, the Hip-E, or the Mega PC Series?

A new computer was released last week that takes aim directly at kids. It's called the Hip-E, and you can check it out here: http://www.hip-e.com
So, the question is, which do you like better the Mega PC or the Hip-E. (assuming both work perfectly per specificaions)

The specs for the Hip-E are here: HIP-E Specifications
And here is a link for the video card, looks like it's an ATI 9700: M11 Video Card
In regards to price, don't forget that Hip-E is shipping with a LCD based monitor, which isn't cheap. Not that I'm advocating it, personally I don't like the design of the Hip-E.

Which is better for AUDIO: HDMI or the Digital Optical Fiber Optic Toslink Audio Cable?

Is there a difference in Audio performance between your standard HDMI hook up (for my Blue Ray Player) or adding the Digital Optical Fiber Optic Toslink Audio Cable. Which will sound better????
Please help...
Thank you for your time!!!

Well that is huge debate here. My opinion is HDMI cables are WAY over priced for what they are. Do not be lead to believe you have to have a 100 dollar hdmi cable, I think 50 is crazy high myself. My only concern is getting one so cheap that it might have poor connections or not last. Also if you run it in a wall it has to be rated for that.
I have a Rocketfish cable and it works fine. My guess would be the dynex cables are fine too. And if your not buying it from Best Buy there are other options as well.
Something else to keep in mind as well. If you only have one HDMI device and you hook it up to your reciever using HDMI you will need two cables for one device. The one that runs to the Reciever and then the one from the reciever to the tv. If you use an Optical cable you only need the one HDMI cable. Run the HDMI cable from the blu ray to the tv, and the optical line from the player to the reciever. This will give you 5.1 dolby or dts through the reciever and also sound through the tv since HDMI carries sound as well as video.
But if money (for cables) was not an issue the HDMI cable supposedly can offer the best sound quality of the two.

Which is better to keep battery in the best performance ?

Which way is consider better to keep laptop battery in the best performance: 1- plug it in charge always. 2- use laptop battery without plug in electricity source when battery become full charge.

Hi
It makes no difference which way you use because if you keep the AC/DC adaptor is connected and the battery is fully charged, the battery will not be used. It will only be used if you disconnect the AC/DC adaptor.
Furthermore a battery can be recharged up to 500 times so I always work with connected AC/DC adaptor. But I would suggest to completely charge and discharge the battery from time to time. ;)

I am just about to buy some more memory for my macbook, i have two options 1 is crucial and the other is transcend so which is better or are they much the same?

Hi ...
I for one have never had a problem with Crucial.
Check out the results of an ASC forum search for Crucial here.

Which is better? iPhone 4 or the 4S?

Due for an upgrade in dec/Jan. Currently using 3GS. Is the 4S still having problems?

Usually i hate all caps in a post, but, GET AN IPHONE 4S.
Seriously. If your getting a device on 2 year contract you are only asking $100 more of yourself to have a better phone for that 24+ months. Whichever one you choose you'd still be spending the same $$$ on the services.
It is already known that issues with the 4S are software "repairable."
The camera is superior on the 4S;
The phone is faster;
You can go to 64GB if you want;
Siri - Hey if you don't love it, don't use it, on the 4S at least you have the option.
Aloha.

Which is better for User Managed Hot backup - running in cron or oracle scheduler

We are taking hot backup in our environment by using sql script of just begin backup, host copy and end backup
Can we use this script to be put in cron for weekly two times or to use oracle scheduler .
Which is better option and why?

The answer to your question depens on your condition. Do you have more experienced Unix admin or DBA?
From my point of view cron is better becuase all you need is SQL*Plus utility and shell script:
export ORACLE_SID=...
sqlplus <username>/<password> as sysdba <<EOF
ALTER TABLESPACE .. BEGIN BACKUP;
host copy ..
ALTER TABLESPACE .. END BACKUP;
EXIT
EOF

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 - Applet or JSP?

I am creating an appilcation. It basically will use a database to allow users to enter new records or edit existing ones. I'm taking over this project from another person, who started it as an applet but didn't get too far. I'm looking at what is better - applet or plain jsp pages. What are the pluses and minues of each?

Which is better, apples or oranges?
The are probably no disadvantages to JSP except that you need a JSP server. The main disadvantage to applets is you almost certainly need the users to have the Java Plugin to run it. If they don't, they have to get and install it. JSP doesn't need any of that.

Dark or bright theme? Which is better for the eyes?

Hello!
Recently i have found on kde-look.org a dark color scheme named Optimal. Author of this theme, on the basis of two web sites, argues that dark themes are better for the eyes or reduces eyes strain. There was a great discussion on Stackexchange forum with very different opinions. I have found out that for me the best color scheme is black on dark grey.
What is your thought? Which color scheme is better for the eyes by your opinion?

Really? No offense, but this is becoming a signicant problem now that there is so much "information" available: people cannot critically evaluate the source of information.
Graysky sensibly raised skepticism about the "random person on the internet" that you referred to. And in response you not that he, in turn, cites two other "random people on the internet". The fact that one web page links to other web pages that agree with it, does not make it's claims any more reliable.
I would not be surprised if there was good research on this - and I myself tend to like dark themes - but random links are just that: random links.
First of all – i didn't say anything about "scientific sources" etc., i just said that it was based on two internet sources which can be or not true. Nevertheles, it is interesting because this color scheme is built systematically on premises in these websites. I didn't say it is true but it is interesting, tough. And that led me to create this topic in order to better educate myself regarding colors.

GX70 vs GT70 2OC - which is better in the long run?

Just asking for some advice and opinions in these two models. I know the CPU in the GT70 kills the GX70 but the GPU on the GX70 is a monster. Games I'll probably be playing include Skyrim, star wars old republic, star craft 2 - and who knows down the road.
The price of the GT70 goes a little advice my budget though - so if the differences aren't all that major I'd rather save the cash.
http://www.msimobile.com/level3_productpage.aspx?cid=6&id=392
http://www.msimobile.com/level3_productpage.aspx?cid=6&id=396
So the big question its which one will keep up better with newer games as time goes on? CPU vs GPU?

Quote from: stefanton on 26-June-13, 03:24:19
The issue for me is upgrading a dedicated GPU in a laptop - most of the stores i've asked about say it can't be done, you gotta get a whole new laptop (which is why laptop is not ideal for gaming - desktops are easier to mix-n-match).
Besides, who even sells mobile GPU cards in the retail world? Is there an online retailer that sells them? I am more interested in knowing this because, say a year from now nVidia releases a 800 series card that outperforms the 770m, and fits in the same PCI slot inside the notebook - i'd like to be able to swap them out.
The GT70 series uses MXM 3.0 sockets, as do most high end notebooks at this point in time. There are GT780's (the prior version of the GT70) that are running the GTX680M, and I'm sure there will be some using a GTX770M as well. I will most likely eventually put a GTX780M in my GT70 when I have the cash and the need.
I actually think you can order the cards from the MSI store. I'm not 100% certain on that, but I'm pretty sure you can.

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.

Can someone tell me what's the different between Inspire T3030 and T3100? Which is better?

Hi, I am considering to buy T3030 and T3100, which one is better if they are at the same price?
Are they better than x230 by logitech?
Thanks
Message Edited by ahtze on 04-14-2007 08:08 PM

is there any advantage for the purchased one ??
Other than the fact that it's the ethical thing to do, that using any copy for which you have not obtained a legal license is a criminal copyright violation in almost very country in the world, and that legally purchasing your copy is the only way in which you would get any support from Apple? I would consider those all "advantages", myself.

Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity? Which is better for the life of the battery?

I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery? Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now. I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial & overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
Any advice/comments please

Which is better, charging the battery at a higher amperage or lower?

I just bought a 3rd party adapter to recharge my Touch via the AC outlet. I have an application on my touch that gives me the status of my battery. When I plug my touch via USB, the charging amperage is 500ma but when I use the AC plug, it says 1000ma. So which is better for longer battery life?
