Why have Nokia dropped support for the 808?

It never gets anything, still waiting for NFC payment, Wifi is still borked with no 5ghrz support even tho it was advertised, still waiting for browser updates to make it useful, gets nothing they're putting into their Lumia series.
Why release a phone to just ditch it?
Edit: Oh yeah and the camera is still **bleep** for night time shots, the right hand side of the picture always has this lighter area ruining it.
Not my pictures but mine does the same thing...

So far every picture I've seen online his this blob of light, yet the 920 is fine. So it isn't just my phone :\

Are you crazy? The 808's pictures are better. Sharper no overzealus coloursmearing, no weird edge-sharpening.
In fact the only positive about the 920 is its low-light "enlightenment" . But this unfortunately gives rather unatural looking photo's.
The pictures that you linked to were shot in pitch black outside and Steve clearly pointed out that the scenes depicted were deliberately choosen to asure the 920 would be better. They were to demonstrate the difference of the low-light enhancing technology o/t 920. There's no reason to show them here to demonstrate a malfunctioning camera-module. In fact I can show you pictures that show the superiority o/t 808 (even from that same site).
e.g.
Lumia 920 http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/bigshoot/920church.jpg
808PV http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/bigshoot/808church.jpg
Lumia 920 http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/bigshoot/920tesco.jpg
808PV http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/images/bigshoot/808tesco.jpg
On these 2 examples you clearly see that the 808PV is better then the 920 (and the last scene should have been the 920's territory and yet it fails miserable)
Also the worse experience with software upgrades also happens on Lumia users. Some have the feeling that their camera's perform worse after their latest upgrade. It seems Nokia still FU this process just as any other manufacturer does.
Or do you really think that Xperia users (or Galaxy users or HTC users) have different experiences? the Apple fora are filled with people unhappy about the things that got broken after their last update.
I am glad that Nokia still delivers (minor) updates. I too would like to see Nokia give power users more options instead of removing them. Just like the awfull light grey theme. They should have included BOTH dark and light themes to give us CHOICE! The only thing we can do is ASK Nokia to release the dark theme as a seperate product/download. Or make a suitable theme ourselves. ;-)
the same with all the other options. In fact IMHO Wifi is NOT BORKED, I've never seen them advertize 5Ghz band and as for the browser, it IS very usefull. It's the only one with (limited) Flash support build in (Android has removed Flash support in later builds so who are you to complain) and is quite fast (just disable javascript to make it as fast as the Iphone 4S). That website creators can't build proper websites anymore without stupid javascript is not Nokia's fault, complain to the site-maintainers.
And as for Nokia's Lumia range of devices... they still can't do halve of what a N8 can do, even WITH a "borked" Belle Refresh...

Why is Adobe dropping support for pre 3GS phones?!

I think it's a bad decision to drop support for pre 3GS devices. There are still many out there and if support is dropped we're forced to still use the old PFI to reach the complete audience.
It's clear that OpenGL ES 2 offers a lot more fancy stuff than OpenGL ES 1.5 does, but still, things like GPU_VECTOR or sophisticated blending are perfectly doable with OpenGL ES 1.5.
And if a clean implementation is really not possible, Adobe should at least allow to publish for old devices even if this means that not all optimization techniques can be used.
I develop iPhone apps using different technologies and AIR is attractive for me because I can target with one project a big range of different plattforms. If Adobe drops support for old phones, this advantage is heavily shortened!
What is your opinion on the this development?

Apple have dropped support for pre-3GS because to pull of the features and performance in iOS 4.3 they had to develop just for the ARM7 chip, and not for the ARM6. They probably have a good sense of the number of people that have the older devices, and think it's ok to not update the software on those devices.
The same may be true for Adobe.
I am trying to find out how to make AIR 2.6 and AIR 2.0 live together in Flash CS5. If I work it out I'll let you know.

Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

Has Pacman3 dropped support for the NoUpgrade Lines in pacman.conf?

I just upgraded to Pacman 3. When I upgraded I quickly saw some output on my sceen saying it was doing a one time "reset" and I believe it said I could delete the NoUpgrade lines in pacman.conf.
I noticed that pacman.conf.pacnew does not have any NoUpgrade lines.
Should I delete all the NoUpgrade lines from my pacman.conf file?
Is the NoUpgrade line no longer supported in pacman3?
If so, how can I protect some of my config files from being overwritten during upgrades?
Rob

They're still supported, there just aren't any by default anymore. They were redundant.
You can/should remove any that are listed in the "backup" list for the packages they come from (pacman -Qii package). Those are all handled as if they were in NoUpgrade anyway.

When will LabVIEW Drop Support for the NXT?

We currently use LabVIEW to program LEGO NXT kits in our engineering courses. However, LEGO is phasing out the NXT within the next year or two. Does anyone know the LabVIEW/NXT life cycle plan, i.e., when will LabVIEW no longer support the NXT platform?

Hi Joel777,
NI doesn't currently have a definitive roadmap for future NXT support in LabVIEW, but I recommend you check out the community page for updated modules. I would also recommend adding any feedback you have regarding future releases to this page in the comments section and periodically checking this page for support updates.

Why no RAW support for the Fuji FinePix HS10?

This camera is well over a year old. Why is there no support for the RAW file?

It is definitely not only Fuji. I used a Panasonic Lumix FX-150 before that has been supported by Adobe Camera Raw for quite some time now. I replaced that camera by a Lumix LX5, but I see that the FX-150 is still not supported by Apple Camera Raw and probably never will.
If you want wide range RAW support, use Lightroom. (Not to say that Aperture doesn't have its strengths, e.g. support for geocoding.)

Opening HDR images in ACR is great but why is there no support for EXR?

As said above why is there no support for the EXR format, which is THE industry standard for HDR images?
Christian Bloch, author of the standard reference book for HDR imaging is thinking the same:
"The next step should certainly be OpenEXR support. Full-on 32-bit TIFFs are annoyingly huge for no good reason. Seriously! For the image above it's 120 MB versus 30 MB in EXR, with absolutely no quality difference."
Will EXR support come in the near future?

Don't get pithed off Jeff, I think he meant it as a compliment.
pith·y
[pith-ee]
adjective, pith·i·er, pith·i·est.
1. brief, forceful, and meaningful in expression; full of vigor, substance,
or meaning; terse; forcible: a pithy observation.
2. of, like, or abounding in pith.

Dropped support for high-def dvd?

Does anyone know if Mavericks dropped support for the HD DVD format offered by Compressor 3?
A DVD authored with this format will not play on an iMac (2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo) running Mavericks, but will play on a Mac Pro (2x2Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) running Mac OS 10.6.8. Other DVDs play fine on the iMac.
Thanks in advance for any information regarding this.

The CalDigit card is not rated to work on the NEWEST MacPros...the ones with different processors and other internal circuitry. It works fine on previous models. The big reason I suggest the Caldigit card over the rest is:
1) It is half the price with all the same features
2) It can be installed and removed by the customer. The Apple card can only be installed and removed by a certified Apple dealer.
Now, Raid 5 is good as it offers PROTECTION...where RAID 0 does not. If one drive dies, the RAID 5 still works. If the same happened to Raid 0, all info is lost...ALL. Raid 5 will lower the capacity of all the drives, as it uses one for this protection, where Raid 0 is larger. Give and take.
FYI...I cut DVCPRO HD and ProRes on internal drives...no raid. Firewire 800 drives are good for this format too. Raids are only needed for multiple streams of ProRes, and the uncompressed formats. And for protection.

Why doesn't elements 12 have 64 bit support for PC users?

Why doesn't elements 12 have 64 bit support for PC users? Most PC's these days are shipped with far more than 2GB of RAM. This move seems very limiting to those with high demands for RAM. Image sizes are only getting larger meaning more RAM needed for adjustments and editing. I have been putting off buying elements 11 waiting to see if 12 had 64 bit support and I am very disappointed to find it doesn't. I can't see myself buying 12 unless a 64 bit for PC is launched soon.

Update? It's a major release, ain't it?
Mac got the 64-bit. Why? From Pete Green's announcement:
A handful of features from previous versions are not available in Photoshop Elements 12 due to new product support for 64-bit systems.
But, of course, Windows users have no such need...

Why is there still no NFL Mobile app support for the Z30?

This device has been out for a year now. I upgraded months ago from the Q10 to the Z30 fully expecting to be able to access this only to find out it;s not available. I contacted your Facebook page about this today advising I am paying for this and the response I got was to basically stop paying for it as you're apparently not going to support this device.
I'd like an answer as to why. It's been over a year since this device has been available. It's not like VZ hasn't had time to do it. Why have I been paying for this all these months if you're not going to do anything about it? Why haven't you mentioned that you're not going to support this device if you're going to sell it? NFL Mobile is exclusive to VZ and is one of the biggest reasons I left ATT. Are you going to leave your business customers to do without?
I'd like an answer to all of this.

I'm sorry, seems it didn't reply from my email inbox.
The reason you didn't answer the other question is because the answer is none. So why would a customer have to make sure VZW is keeping up with the products they offer? This service is advertised as being available in BB World. If you go this website and click on the "compatible devices" link, you'll CLEARLY see that the Z30 is listed.
Here it is in fact.

Why have I been extra charged for an app and have been billed twice for the same app?

We are are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support here, we won't know why.
I don't know what you mean by 'extra charged' (have you made in-app purchases within the app, or are you in the US and need to add on your state's sales tax to the listed price ?), or have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

Does the IE CS6 version have Support for the Middle Eastern tool set? - left to right typing etc.

I assume IE means International English, as opposed to English North America (aka US English). There is Middle Eastern and Hebrew support via an English user interface for programs that support it such as InDesign.

Why no support for the Leica M9 in LR 2.6 RC?

Hi - bemused that there's no support for the M9 in this release (especially as LR is bundled with the M9). Even more confusing as the Standard Adobe calibration profile for the M9 that comes with the LR3 Beta is pretty good (beats the embedded profile that comes with the Leica DNGs) - and this can be added to the LR2.5 profile library with a bit of copying and pasting.
I'd be grateful to hear from Adobe if there's any chance of a good M9 profile making it to the 2.6 final version. Seems a shame to miss this opportunity.
Thanks
Chris Tribble

Hello Chris,
thanks for the nice feedback.
For the moment, I will use LR for the fast preview of all images,
cataloging etc., and RawDeveloper for the fine tuning, as often as the
image permit it.
(sorry for my english!)
Lets hope that we will get through all that without loosing our
perfectly nice temper !
All the best to you,
Alain

ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet?

ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?

ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version. I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.
