Which is more powerful?

I am thinking about purchasing a new MacBook Pro here soon which I will be using for some processor and graohics intensive stuff. I am wondering which one is more powerful, the baseline 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display or the baseline MacBook Pro 15 inch without Retina Display. I am having trouble deciding because one has a quad core i7 but the other is solid state. But which one would have more power for processing and graphics?

The baseline retina MBP has a slightly faster CPU and the more powerful discrete GPU (1 GB of dedicated video RAM vs. 512 MB video RAM). The integrated GPUs are the same.
The baseline retina is more powerful (and has the SSD standard).
rMBP:
2.4GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
MBP:
2.3GHz quad-core
Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (all 13- and 15-inch models)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching (2.3GHz 15-inch model). The optional 2.6GHz and 2.7GHz 15-inch models come with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB GDDR5 memory.
I thought you were comparing both 15'' models. Misread the OP.

  • Which is more powerful the old flat airport extreme or airport express

    Which is more powerful the old flat airport extreme or an Airport express

    The transmit power is the same on both the Airport Express and AirPort Extreme.
    However, the AirPort Extreme has a better antenna arrangement than the Express, so it would normally provide a bit better range, all things being equal.
    Depending on what version of the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express that you might have, there may be some feature and performance differences in regard to wireless speed capability.  In order to quantify that, we would need to know the exact model number of the AirPort Express that you are asking about, as well as the exact model number of the AirPort Extreme.
    The model numbers of both products are found on the side or bottom of the device. Both models numbers start with an "A" followed by 4 numbers.
    It would help if you could provide some idea of what your actual goal might be here, since a "better" signal does not necessarily mean that you would notice any difference in day to day performance.

  • Which is more powerful?? Please help

    Which is the stronger computer?? Which is the better buy??
    1) the new mini Mac, 2.7 i7, 8 gigs ram $1100
    Or
    2) 2008 : Mac Pro 3.1 (8-core, dual 2.8 Quad-Core Intel Xenon) no MULTI-threading
    -10 gigs of ram
    -ATI Radeon HD 4870 (upgraded graphics card)
    -2TB internal HD
    -Newer Technology MAX Power 6G PCIe 2.0 Raid/e-Sata Card (hot-swapable)

    The Mini has a four-core CPU vs. the MP's eight cores. Just visit Geekbench - Primate Labs and look for benchmark results for each computer.
    The MP uses full-sized 7200 RPM drives while the Mini uses a notebook drive that's 5400 RPM. The MP has more RAM, bigger HDD, better GPU that is upgradeable, and hardware RAID. Furthermore, MPs are built like a tank, have space internally for four drives, two optical drives, etc., etc., etc.
    Like comparing chicken s**t to chicken salad.

  • 21.5" i7 vs 27" i5 -- which is more powerful?  What about video editing?

    I'm trying to decide between a 21.5" iMac with 1TB and i7 and the next step up -- the 27" with an i5.
    My budget really was only for the 21.5 -- which comes out at 1699 -- the 27 would be 1999 --
    My main current needs are: Animation (Flash, etc), CS Suite (40 layer Photoshop), other programming (HTML, CSS, Canvas, etc), and music (8 analog in, effects, Logic).  I hope to start doing some HD video work (artistically) -- but due to focusing on music haven't really done much with it. 
    The person I spoke to at the store said if I were going to do "serious" video editing (Avid) then the 27" with the 1GB of memory on the video card would be better -- for video editing that is.  He said that for everything else (CS Suite, etc -- and I believe he said Final Cut as well) the i7 with the 512MB video card would be better.
    So -- here's the rub -- I'm on a limited budget and I think it might make more sense to put the extra 300 into RAM (they offered to bump the RAM to 12GB for $150 extra -- is that way too much?), or into an add'l monitor (I'm not taken with the glossy iMac screen as a main screen -- and that's also why the 27" screen wouldn't do much for me).  I do want to do some video production, but I don't plan on getting Avid or anything like that anytime in the foreseeable future -- I'd probably be doing 10 min video pieces and for what I currently need the computer for the i7 with more RAM is much better.  I just don't want to feel totally stupid down the road.
    So:
    21.5" iMac, 2.8 GHz i7, 1TB drive, 12GB RAM, Radeon 6750 with 512MB RAM
    vs
    27" iMac, 2.7 GHz i5, 1TB drive, 4 GB RAM, Radeon 6970 with 1GB RAM
    Thanks

    Similar question ... looking at nearly identical cost: 21" i7 2.8 vs. 27" i5 - both with the 512 6750 video card.  (I'll buy my RAM upgrade on-line - will take either one to 16GB.)
    Both have same video memory.  I don't feel I need the bigger screen size if the processing power is a better value for video (can always add another, larger monitor).
    This will be a video & audio editing computer.  I have a TON of old Hi8 home movies to move to digital for archive and eventual editing, will capture via firewire Digital 8 Handicam.
    My main new video projects will be <10 min - primarily for web delivery.  Business sales/education and training.  Pretty sure I'll want to upgrade with FCPX.  I'm a believer in that you can always compress quality down, you can't enhance poor quality source up.
    I have a background in video production (20 years ago), no expreience with NLE, but want to get back in.
    I guess the i7 power will hold up longer and allow for growth of my abilities/uses of the software down the line ...
    Maybe I've answered my own (& the OP's question) ...

  • Why ABC's are more powerful 'interfaces' than interfaces

    A simple answer as to what the value of Abstract Base Classes are is that
    (1) They act like Interfaces, allowing for polymorphic abstraction of multiple implementations
    (2) They allow for default implementations, but insist on derivation
    For this question, please set aside any value that default implementations provide, and concentrate only on the 'interface'-like qualities of ABCs.
    Why did sun decide to make ABCs more powerful as interfaces, than interfaces themselves.
    Or... asked another way, in the following code snippet
    public void doCoolStuff( ObjectOutputStream os, Fooable foo )
    throws CloneNotSupportedException, IOException
        Fooable foo2 = (Fooable)foo.clone();
        foo2.changeMyselfSomehow();
        os.writeObject(foo2);
    }If I said the Fooable 'thingy' has absolutely no implementation attached to it whatsoever, then, what kind of thingy is Fooable?

    Functionally: A class can only extend one class,even
    if the parent is an ABC, but it can inherit multiple
    interfaces. public class Foo extends ABC1,ABC2
    {} // won't compile
    Yes that's the common logic. And yet Fooable
    absolutely can not be an interface, but can be
    an ABC.Interfaces can do X that ABCs can't do. ABCs can do Y that interfaces can't do. Which is more powerful?
    This box is longer, but that box is wider. Which is bigger?

  • I want a new and more powerful (non-Apple) wireless router but I still want to use my existing Time Capsule to continue with my Time Machine backups and I still need the Time Capsule's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features and capabilities

    THE SHORTER STORY
    My goal is to successfully use my existing Time Capsule (TC) with a new and more powerful wireless router. I need a new and more powerful wireless router in order to reach a distant Denon a/v receiver that is physically located in a master bedroom some 50 feet away from my modem. I need to provide this Denon a/v receiver with an Internet connection so that it can obtain its firmware updates and I need to connect this Denon a/v receiver to my network in order to use its AirPlay feature. I believe l still need the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features because I am not sure if the new wireless router will provide me with the NAS like features / capabilities I need to share files between my two Apple laptops with OS X 10.8.2. And I know that I absolutely need my TC's seamless integration with Apple's Time Machine (TM) application in order to continue to make effortless backups of my two Apple laptops. To my knowledge nothing works with TM like Apple's TC. I also need the hard disk storage space built into the TC.
    I cannot use a long wired Ethernet cable connection in this apartment and I cannot use power-line adapters. I have read that wireless range extenders and repeaters are difficult to successfully set-up and that they will reduce data speeds, especially so when incorrectly set-up. I cannot relocate my modem and/or primary base station wireless router.
    In short, I want to use my TC with my new and more powerful wireless router. I need to stop using the TC to connect to the modem. However, I still need the TC for seamless TM backups. I also need to use the TC's built in hard drive for storage. And I may still need the TC's NAS capabilities to share files wirelessly between laptops because I am assuming the new wireless router will not provide NAS capabilities for OS X 10.8.2 (products like this/non-Apple products rarely seem to work with OS X 10.8.2/Macs to provide NAS features and capabilities). Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone please advise on how to set-up my new Asus wireless router with my existing TC in such a way to accomplish all of this?
    What is the best configuration or set-up to accomplish my above goals?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!
    THE FULL STORY
    I live in an apartment building where my existing Time Capsule (TC) is located in my living room and serves many purposes. Specially, my TC is at least all of the following:
    (1) Wi-Fi router connected to Comcast Internet service via Motorola SB6121 cable modem - currently the TC is the Wi-Fi base station that connects to the modem and has the gateway address to the Internet. The TC now provides the DHCP service for the Wi-Fi network.
    (2) Wireless router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to several Wi-Fi clients - two Apple laptop computers, an iPod touch, an iPad and an iPhone all connect wirelessly to the Internet via the TC.
    (3) Wired Ethernet router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to three different devices - a Panasonic TV, LG Blu-Ray player and an Apple TV each use one of the three LAN ports on the back of the TC to gain access to the Internet.
    (4) Primary base station in my attempt to extend my wireless network to a distant (located far away) Denon a/v receiver requiring a wired Ethernet connection - In addition to the TC, which is my primary base station, I am also using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. I cannot use a wired Ethernet connection to continuously travel from the living room to the master bedroom. The distance is too great as I cannot effectively hide the Ethernet cable in this apartment.
    (5) Time Machine (TM) backup facilitator - I use my TC to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops using Apple's Time Machine (TM) application. However, I ran out of storage space on my TC and therefore added external storage to it. Specifically, I added an external hard drive to my TC via the USB port on the back of the TC. I now use this added external hard drive connected to the TC via USB as the destination storage drive for my TM back-ups. I have partitioned the added external hard drive, and each of the several partitions all have enough storage space (e.g., each of the two partitions used by TM are sized at three times the hard drive space of each laptop, etc.). Everything works flawlessly.
    (6) Network Attached Storage (NAS) - In addition to using the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops via TM, I also store other additional files on both (A) the hard drive built into the TC and (B) the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB (there are additional separate partitions on this drive for these other additional and non-TM backup files).
    I use the TC's NAS feature with my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Again, everything works wirelessly and flawlessly. (Note: the Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet and a LAN port on the back of the TC).
    The issue I am having is when I try to listen to music via Apple's AirPlay in the master bedroom. This master bedroom is located at a distance of two rooms away from the TC's current location in the living room, which is a distance of about 50 feet. This apartment has a long rectangular floor plan where each room is connected to the next in a straight line. In order to use AirPlay in the master bedroom I am using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. This additional base station connects wirelessly to the WiFi network provided by my TC and then gives my Denon receiver the wired Ethernet connection it needs to use AirPlay. I have tried moving my iTunes music directly onto my laptop's hard drive, and then I used AirPlay on this same laptop to connect to the Denon receiver. I always get a successful connection and the song plays, but the problem is that the connection inevitably drops.
    I live in an apartment building and all of the many wireless routers in this building create a great deal of WiFi interference on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. I have tried connecting the Netgear product to each the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, but neither band can successfully maintain a wireless connection between the TC and the Netgear product. I also attempted to maintain a wireless connection to an iPod touch using the 2.4 GHz band and AirPlay on this iPod touch to play music on the Denon receiver. Again, I was able to establish a connection and successfully play music, but after a few minutes the connection dropped and the music stopped playing. I therefore have concluded that I have a poor wireless connection in the master bedroom. I can establish a connection, but it is intermittent with frequent drops. I have verified this with both laptops by working in the master bedroom for an entire day on both laptops. The Internet connection in this master bedroom proved to drop out frequently - about once an hour with the laptops. The wireless connection and the frequency of its dropout are far worse with the iPod touch and an iPhone.
    I cannot relocate the TC. Also, this is an apartment and I therefore cannot extend the range of my network with Ethernet cable (I cannot drill through walls/ceilings, etc.). It is an old building with antiquated wiring and power-line adapters are not likely to function properly, nor can I spare the direct power outlet required with a power-line adapter. I simply need every outlet I can get and cannot afford to block any direct outlet.
    My solution is to use a more powerful wireless router. I found the ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router which will likely provide a better connection to my wireless Internet in the master bedroom than the TC. The 802.11ac band of this Asus wireless router is totally useless to me, but based on what I have read I believe this router will provide a stronger connection at greater distances then my TC. And I will be ready for 802.11ac when it becomes more widely available.
    However, I still need to maintain the TC's ability to work seamlessly with TM to backup my two laptops. Also, I doubt the new Asus router will provide OS X 10.8.2 with NAS like features and capabilities. Therefore, I still would like to use the TC's NAS capabilities to share files on my network wirelessly assuming the Asus wireless router fails to provide this feature. I need a new and more powerful wireless router, but I need to maintain the TC's NAS features and seamless integration with TM. Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone advise on how to set-up my existing TC with this new Asus wireless router in such a way to accomplish all of this?

    In regards to a Plan B, I hear ya brother. I am already on what feels like Plan Z. Getting WiFi to a far off room in an apartment building crowded with WiFi routers is a major pain.
    I am basing my thoughts on the potential of a new and more powerful router reaching the far off master bedroom based on positive reviews on cnet.com, pcmag.com and pcworld.com. All 3 of these web sites have reviewed the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11AC wireless router as well as its virtual twin cousin 802.11n router. What impressed me is that all 3 sites rated this router #1 overall in terms of both range and speed (in both the 802.11n and 802.11AC flavors). They tested the router in real world scenarios where the router needed to compete with a lot of other wireless routers. One of the sites even buried this Asus router in a media room with thick walls and inside a media cabinet. This Asus router should be able to serve my 2.4 GHz band wireless clients (iPod Touch and iPhone 4) with a 2.4GHz Wireless-N band offering some 50 feet of dependable range and a 60 Mbps throughput at that range. I am hoping that works, but it's borderline for my master bedroom. My 5 GHz wireless clients (laptops) will enjoy a 5GHz Wireless-N band offering 150 feet of range and a 200 Mbps throughput at that range. I have no idea what most of that stuff means, but I did also read that Asus could reach 300 feet and I got really excited. My mileage may vary of course and I'm sure I'm making some mistakes in my interpretation of their data. However, my Winter 2009 Time Capsule was rated by cnet.com to deliver real world performance of less than that, and 802.11AC may or may not be useful to me someday. But when this Asus arrives and provides anything other than an excellent and consistent wireless signal without drops in the master bedroom it's going right back!
    Your solution sounds great, but I have some questions. I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and Airport Utility (version 6.1 610.31) and on its third tab labeled "Wireless" the top option enables you to set "Network Mode" to either:
    Create a wireless network
    Extend a wireless network
    Off
    Given your advice to "Turn off the wireless on the TC," should I set Network Mode to Off? Sorry, I'm clueless in regards to how to turn off the wireless on the TC any other way. Can you provide specific steps on how to turn off the wireless on the TC? If what I wrote is correct then what should the rest of this Wireless tab look like, or perhaps it is irrelevant when wireless is off?
    Next, what do you mean by "Configure the TC in Bridge Mode?" Under Airports Utility's fourth tab labeled "Network" the top option "Router Mode" allows for either:
    DHCP and Nat
    DHCP Only
    Off (Bridge Mode)
    Is your advice to Configure the TC in Bridge Mode as simple as setting Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)? If yes, then what should the rest of this "Network" tab look like? Anything else involved in configuring the TC in Bridge Mode or is it really as simple as setting the Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"?
    How about the other tabs in Airport Utility, can they all stay as is assuming I use the same network name and password for the new Asus wireless router? Or do I need to make any other changes to the TC via Airport Utility?
    Finally, in regards to your Plan B suggestion. I agree. But do you have a Plan B for me? I would greatly appreciate any alternative you could provide. Specifically, if you needed a TC's Internet connection to reach a far off corner of your home how would you do it? In the master bedroom I need both a wired Ethernet connection for the Denon a/v receiver and wireless Internet connection for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
    Power-Line Adapters - High Cost, Blocks at Least One Wall Outlet and Does Not Solve the Wireless Need
    I actually like exactly one power-line adapter, which is the D-Link DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch. This D-Link power-line adapter plugs into your wall outlet with a normal sized plug (regular standard power cord much like any other electronic device) instead of all of the other recommended power-line adapters that not only use at least one wall outlet but also often block the second outlet. You cannot use a power strip with a power-line adapter which is very impractical for me. And everything about my home is strange and upside down. The wiring here is a disaster and I don't have faith in its ability to carry Internet access from the living room to the master bedroom. And this D-Link power-line adapter costs $90 each and I need at least two to make the connection to the Denon A/V receiver. So, $180 on this solution and I still don't have a dependable drop free wireless connection in the master bedroom. The Denon might get its Ethernet Internet connection from the power-line adapter, but if I want to use an iPhone 4 or iPod Touch to stream AirPlay music to the Denon wirelessly (Pandora/iTunes, etc.) from the master bedroom the wireless connection will not be stable in there and I've already spent $190 on just the two power-line adapters needed.
    Extenders / Repeaters / Wirelessly Extending the Wireless Network
    I have also read great things about the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Range Extender (Repeater) SR20000G and the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender. The former is very powerful and the latter is easier to install. Both cost about $150 ish so similar to a new Asus router. However, everything I read about Range Extenders points to them not being very effective for a far off corner of your house wherein it's apparently hard to place the range extender in the sweet spot where it both gets a strong enough signal to actually effectively extend the wireless signal and otherwise does not reduce network throughput speeds to unacceptable speeds.
    Creating a Roaming Network By Hard Wiring with Ethernet Cable - Wife Would Say, "**** No!"
    Even Apple seems to warn against wirelessly extending your network (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145#) and otherwise strongly recommends a roaming network where Ethernet cable is used to connect two wireless base stations. However, I am in an apartment where stringing together two wireless base stations with Ethernet cable would have an extremely low wife acceptance factor (WAF). I cannot (both contractually and from a skill prospective) hide Ethernet wire in the walls or ceiling. And having visible Ethernet cable running from room-to-room would be unacceptable, especially to the wife.
    So what is left? Do you have a Plan B for me? Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Will a more powerful processor increase my GMail and Google Apps speed??

    Will a more powerful processor increase my GMail and Google Apps speed??

    I take it that you know the processor in the iMac G4 is not upgradeable. It's soldered to the logic board. The 20" iMac G4 had the fastest process of any G4 iMac--1.25Ghz-- so you're maxed out there.
    Do "About the Mac.." from the the Apple menu to see how much RAM is installed. Sluggishness can be due to too little RAM.
    Sluggish performance can be a too full hard drive. Single click your hard drive's icon then do command i to see the values of Capacity, Available, and Used. the space Available should be no less than 10-15 percent of the vaule under Capacity.
    For comparison, I have a G4 tower with a single 1.25Ghz processor and the same bus speed and video RAM you have, and it is not at all sluggish with anything other than Office 2008, which is sluggish all by itself. My G4 has 1.75G RAM and a bunch of free space on the hard drive.

  • Graphics card a bit more powerful in 15" than 17" due to lower resolution?

    Is the graphics card a bit more powerful in the uMBP 15" than in the 17" due to the lower screen resolution? E.g. for games. I notice that when I turn down the maximum resolution in a game, the playing is smoothier which is logic but still, does that give the graphics card a bit more performance? I mean, I know they are the same in both the 15" and 17", it's just that the lower screen resolution might give a little more power to spare e.g. for framerates.

    It doesn't mean it's more powerful... it's identical. If you run the 17" at a lower resolution (as in the same resolution as the 15"), you would get similar performance to the 15". Running at a higher resolution requires more processing power. Likewise, if you plug in an external monitor to a 15" which supports the same resolution as a 17", you would get similar performance on the 15". The difference is purely based on the resolution you choose.

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • Implicit Join or Explicit Join...which is more efficient???

    Which is more efficient?
    An IMPLICIT JOIN
    SELECT TableA.ColumnA1,
    TableB.ColumnB2
    FROM TableA,
    TableB
    WHERE TableA.ColumnA1 = TableB.ColumnB1
    Or....An EXPLICIT JOIN
    SELECT TableA.ColumnA1,
    TableB.ColumnB2
    FROM TableA
    INNER JOIN TableB
    ON TableA.ColumnA1 = TableB.ColumnB1
    I have to write a pretty extensive query and there will be many parts and I just want to try and make sure it is efficient as possible. Can I EXPLAIN this in SQL Navigator as well to find out???
    Thanks in advance for your review and hopeful for a reply.

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How to I find a compatible, more powerful hard drive for my macbook 13 inch late 2008?

    How to I find a compatible, more powerful hard drive for my macbook 13 inch late 2008?

    There are many sources for compatible 2.5" laptop SATA interface hard drives and SSD's.
    I've used Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) for a number of upgrades, and highly recommend them if you're in the US. OWC also posts helpful videos on YouTube showing step by step removal and installation instructions and the tools required for most Mac models. If your old drive is still functioning, but you're simply running out of space, you might also consider purchasing an upgrade kit that includes an external 2.5" drive enclosure with USB interface. Then you first install the new drive in the external enclosure and 'clone' the contents of old drive to it, then swap the old drive for the new one, and use the old drive in the external enclosure as a backup drive, to test new software and OS upgrades, or to store video, photos, and audio.
