Why do Thinkpad touchpads have so much heavy feedback?

On most dell hp mac samsung touchpad you can press down on the touch pad and uniformally in one smooth motion drag your finger across the touchpad.
On most thinkpad I can't help but notice doing hte same would result in a 'tremor' like movement due to the hard feedback of the touchpad? What was the purpose in design for this? For me it seems to strain and crmap my ligaments/finger muscles insanely.
As a new Thinkpad user, It has been EXTREMELY frustrating using what is a great reliable peice of hardware, due to poor keyboard/touchpad design.

This is one of the reasons why a lot of users prefer touchpads with physical buttons. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Please-Bring-Back-Physical-Mouse-Buttons/t...
It's good that Lenovo has brought back the physical trackpoint buttons, but they must also bring back the physical touchpad buttons, or at least give the customer an option to choose.

I do not have many messages but my iphone 5s says messages take up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with friends who have many more message, less than 1 GB is being used on their phones. Why are mine taking up so much space and how do I correct that?

I do not have that many messages on my new iPhone 5s (maybe about 15 conversations and only one or two going back a little ways) yet when I go to Settings, Usage it shows that my messages are taking up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with others (some who have hundeds of messages) they are using under 1GB for their messages. Why are mine taking up so much space??

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

Why do I have so much storage 'other' on my iPhone 5, ios7?

why do I have so much storage 'other' on my iPhone 5, ios7?

Hi: I had the same issue. I believe mine was due to the fact that I always installed software updates over wifi. I believe doing so did not remove the old software from my phone, which then took up space in Other. Here's why I think this.
Yesterday, I had 6.2 GB of Other (on my 16GB iPhone). Got the alert that a software update was available, but didn't have enough free space on my phone to update it over wifi. I plugged my phone into my Mac today and ran the update on iTunes and the Other went down to 2.1 GB. Note, when I previously updated software over wifi, it took about 3 minutes, today when I updated it by actually plugging into iTunes on my Mac, it took about 15 minutes. It cleared everything off my phone and reinstalled it.
I'm not sure if this is the only reason for the Other storage to be high, but if you update over wifi, it could be. Note: if you're not due for an update, you may want to try resetting your phone and doing a restore from iTunes. Be sure to back up your phone before doing this!
Hope this helps.

Why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it

why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

Why do i have so much spam

Why do I have so much spam in my in box

Hi,
Probably because you have visited many places and entered your email address to one place somehow. Normally you have to use filter(s) in your email agent/client to filter spams. I have to use filters for my gmail, yahoo and hotmail (Windows live) ... and they are very good. You may want to do the same.
Regards.

Why can't I extend my warranty after a year. Apple doesn't have as much confidence in their products as I do?

Why can't I extend my warranty after a year. Apple doesn't have as much confidence in their products as I do?

Who said you can't extend your warranty?
If Apple won't do it, why not try these options?

Please Help! Why do I have so much OTHER space on my Ipod Mini

Hi
For some reason I have over 1gb of OTHER taking up space on my Mini- What is it and how do I get rid of it? My Friend has the same model and doesn't have it
Thanks Alot
Vicki

Hi Vicki,
Try resotirng your iPod to factory settings. Typically, that fixes this kind of issue, since restoring deletes all of the contents off your iPod.
For instructions on how to restore an iPod, check out this Knowledge Base article:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Does that fix the issue, or do you still have too much "Other" space on your iPod?

Why does "other" take up so much space on my iPhone?

I got an iPhone 5s 16 GB at the end of June 2014. I keep running out of memory and when I recently plugged my phone into iTunes, I noticed that "other" is taking up around 3 GB of space. I know the usual delete pictures and browsing history spiel, and I've done it all. People also say that Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage is a good way to tell what is taking up space, but I went there and manually added all of the numbers and they only add up to 8.6 GB vs the 11.6 that my phone says is occupied, leaving an extra 3 GB unaccounted for and confirming my suspicions that "other" is not included in this. People keep telling me it's the operating system but isn't that already taken out of the original 16 GB and why you really only have 12 GB of storage to begin with? As I was looking through different forums and discussions, people kept saying to restore the iPhone from the iTunes backup and I am wondering if that would actually work...does anyone have experience with this? (Also would this delete my apps and music as well? I'm not very familiar with the restore from backup and could not really find any good information on it.) Do I just have to live with "other" eating up this much space on my phone? I've had iPods and I have an iPad, and I've never had this problem. Any help at all would be very appreciated, as this is very frustrating. Thanks.

That is normal size for others.. mine is around 2 GB.
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?

Why are Windows 'APP's so much harder to code than a Windows Forms application?

For example I have been smashing my head against a wall trying to save an image file from a share target, the best help I can find is the below code:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/65a61679-0da8-4109-8a69-b918be351dfa/how-to-save-a-bitmap-image-from-a-share-target?forum=winappswithcsharp&prof=required
But in a 'normal' application I can do what I need to do with:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Project1
class Class1
static void Main()
Image photo = Image.FromFile("C:\\Temp\\oldphoto.png");
photo.Save("C:\\Temp\\newphoto.png");
Why do the APPs take so much more code to do something like save a file to disk?

It is a good question!
If you need 100 lines of code to save an image it is like a Java program:
- complicated
- not fun to develop with
I think the main problem is that Microsoft release 2 new libraries each year. On the most cases, if you try to compile it with an old library it works, but the app crashes with unexpected errors. It is always harder to develop for Windows and there
are always more libraries to use.
So it begun to be normal, to find a W8-store-app-library and use it in Silverlight, to add missing functionality.
It is a jungle and it seems that Microsoft too doesn't know anymore what library should be in the msdn-help. Some times, if you search for something, you finish on a library that can't be added to your project.
This is the reason, because your question will probably never be answered!

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM... I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM? Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?

I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
I've learned by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
So the two questions are...
Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
Other Info:
I have a quad core i7 Processor.
My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,

The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included). You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC. They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.
Ciao.

Hi there, Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/

Hi there,
Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/levels in the games? But how do I back up the games data?
Please help. Scared to delete them to update and then not have the space to restore them and if I get them again will the levels/progress be gone?
Thanks Rachel

Connect your device to iTunes and do the update through iTunes. Using a computer takes much less space on your device than doing the update on your device.

Why do photos take up so much space on my phone?

I have an iPhone 5, 16 gigs. I have 174 photos and 22 videos and it says that the photos take up 3.6g of my memory... My friend has over 2k photos and hers is at 4gigs. I saved my photos to iPhoto and I deleted all my photos and ran a test, I made sure photos were at 0gigs; Then i took 30 random photos and checked and it said that it took up 124mbs. 30 photos 124mbs. I don't understand why my photos take up so much space. I also bought the Beyonce album when it came out and thats the only music I bought and it says it takes up 1.1gigs and the 17 videos are at 974 mbs. help????

Import the photos to your computer, then sync them back with iTunes. The photos will be reduced in size and quality to fit on the iPhone without taking as much space as the original pictures.
Also make sure not to use HDR mode if you do not need that feature.
After you import your photos from Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.

Why can't we have a real 'finalise'

Hi :)
As we know, all advice about the 'finalise' method is to never
use it, don't override it, pretend it doesn't exist, and if you ever
actually do write code in it, make sure it doesn't throw an exception,
and make sure (can't remember if this is just a 'myth') that it
executes in a very small time period.
Now, i don't have a problem with the requirement for this implementation,
but why can't we have a 'finalise' method that we can implement code
in.
Personally, I would love to have such a method where I can close my
resources, even do other things to conceptually 'end' my objects life.
Consider how ridiculous it would be if an OO language said: "yes,
there is a constructor, but don't write code in it ..., oh, you wan't to
'initialise' your object you say? well, create a pattern or interface or
whatever, implement an 'init' method, and always call that'. Anyone
who had a programming language tell him that would drop it for
a more sensible one.
So come on ... we have a method (even as many as we feel like, assuming
signatures) to 'establish' our object, why are we disabled and disallowed the
option of having one to finalise it (even; not sure of the appropriateness: ones
matching the constructor signatures).
who's with me? :) !

Where is your problem ?
Use a finally clause...Hence the fragileness. Out of the population of
developers, what percentage do you suppose remember to
do that? It would be MUCH better for the VM to take
care of it, destructing/finalizing objects either as
soon as they are no longer strongly reachable (hard to
implement), or at least at SOME point before the app
dies (the GC COULD have been designed to GUARANTEE
running before app termination)What I mean was that you can do something (clean up used connections, streams etc.) but let the GC do the rest. By the way it isn't guaranteed that the GC will run a full garbage collection before you close.

Why don't we have _all for receivables tables?

Hi All,
Greetings.
In the Recent Interview that I have attended, I was asked a question as "Why don't we have _all for receivables tables such as rcv_shipment_headers,rcv_shipment_lines so as we have for the other tables such as ap_invoices_all, ap_invoice_lines_all and so on.."
what is the actual reason for this?
Please help answer this question.

Bhaskar.

Hi AsifMuhammad,
Thanks Very Much for your time and your valuable reply.
I found the answer for my question.

Why would I not have sufficient privleges on my own computer to start Apple Mobile Device Service?, why would I not have sufficient privleges on my own computer to start Apple Mobile Device Service?

I performed the most recent update of iTunes, but it did not install properly.

Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system privleges." I am the owner of this computer and do not understand why I would not have sufficient privleges to start a service on my computer. Any help would be very much appreciated!
