You guys ever used an iP

I've got a Zen Micro and the only real thing I found rather cool with the iPods is the games, I love those brick games
It'd be cool if we could have some games or something to put on the MP3 players or have them open source like graphing calculators. Small games don't require much CPU power and it mnight get more people to buy a Zen Micro or something if games could be written for it and transferred unto it via Media Source or the Zen Explorer. Would be cool to play snake on it or something :P
And i don't know if some of you guys have any sort of graphing calculator but they came out with a USB driver for the TI-84+ & SE which enables you to hook up any sort of USB device that uses the same amount of power and make it work, so maybe we could hook up mini WiFi enteneas or something and then start playing wireless. This is a bit far fetched but w/e

Yes, I've used an iPod. I think the games, contacts and calendar are a complete waste of time. I use a PDA for that stuff. I also don't need appointments, etc. on my cell phone. Another waste. iPod should worry about working with subscription music services or something useful concerning music. Every gadget is trying to do everything, none of it very well. I have been suckered into phones with games (Nokia), a watch with contacts and calendar (Timex DataLink), phone with calendar appointments (Samsung) and various other "convergence" products. All have been so poor at these additional functions I gave them all up. Even the Treo Smartphone (and other smartphones) are lousy phones and lousy PDAs. You're better off carry 2 items. Get one of those new Sony things that plays music, video and games. That sounds like something you might like (not meant to be offensi've). I would MUCH rather have Creative focus their energy on updating the firmware of the Zen Touch, adding Audible support to more players and generally focusing on the audio part of their players without all the marginally useful junk they put on some of them.
Well, for some people who don't use cell phones too much (like me for instance) and other stuff, i wouldn't having the calendar and contacts. But games!!! that's a whole new story. I don't think it would be good idea to have games on ZM and mp3 players. IT will probably decrease your battery life, not user friendly because of the trackpad and bottons and all.
Topic of iPods:
Yes, i have used iPods several times, they have a different system and stuff fromt eh ZM and Creative. But! I own a ZM because i like the Zm's features. I bought the ZM because it fitted my needs the best.

  • Do you guys sell used iphones?

    Hi Do You Guys Sell Used Iphones?

    I think "you guys" refers to Apple ... I think you're asking if Apple's store sells used iPhones.  I do not believe they ever do.  Here is a link to their refurbished products:
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals
    You are addressing Apple users here, not Apple company representatives.
    If you choose to purchase a used iPhone from someone else, be extremely careful or you may end up with a previously stolen iPhone that would be useless to you.

  • Soooo, any chance of you guys EVER bringing back trade-in promos on games again?

    It seems like forever since you guys did an actual trade-in promo on games and when you did it was the lowest amount possible(30%). Any chance we'll actually see the good trade promos make a comeback or are game trade-ins pretty much done and buried at this point(as is evidenced by the laughable disc only and pretty barren pre-owned sections at my closest store)?
    While we're at it, how about a return to halfway decent trade in values to go with any promotions? :-P Not that I'm not excited beyond belief at getting $2 for (insert semi recent game name here) plus my extra $.20 for being a GCU member.

    Hey CheapestGamer,
    While we generally can’t speak to any upcoming promotions or anything like that, I can certainly say that I agree with you here. I usually wait until a solid trade-in promotion to trade my games in and I can understand where you’re coming from in regards to that bonus only being 30% recently. It's definitely better than nothing, though!
    With that said, this fall is going to be insanely busy with all of the upcoming gaming releases, so I’m pretty confident we’ll be running some trade-in promotions to coincide with said releases. Here’s to hoping for a 50% bonus, or even higher!
    Cheers,
     

  • Hey, any of you guys ever seen one of these?

    http://www.cme-pro.com/products-list/product-u2mic.html
    So dig this, it's like the rabbit out of the hat some guy pulls over on the Sound. Pro discussion board.
    Then boom it's a strafish and gone, but the OP never says that he found it, in fact the opposite. I refreshed the list over there in case it gets posted I'll let you know. But it's molasses at IS's house in January all the time over there so don't hold your breath.
    But this is how I'm thinking, it's a choice between a $130 MXL [Marshall] USB mic, a moderate quality mic, and plugging in something as sweet as like my old Shure beta green condenser, and there's no comparison, the latter is a total slam.

    Hi.
    It the best mic for the price, hands down.
    I won't lie to you, it does not sound "like" a vintage mic, because it is a new microphone. Old battered circuitry can never be really dupplicated correctly. I like to use the word ""vintage" to describe a wine, because that is what the words is for. when I describe a mic, I use the model name. And if it's a old mic, then I try to use the year it was made, as reference.
    If you ever see an advert for something that claims to be "vintage" it better be a wine bottle.
    so, after my lovely rant about vintage-ness, here' some of my opinion on that Mic (V69):
    It does have a great sound of it own, which easily can make vocal recordings sound more present, warmer (ie more low end) and fuller, as it does the proximity effect very nicely. Especially on female vocals.
    Another thing I like about it is the fact that it does NOT hype the high end. In true tube mic fashion, it actually attenuates the high end a little, making for a smoother response. You no longer have to either turn up the bass, nor turn down the high end, to make a better frequency balance in you recording.
    One typical setup I use them for is an acoustic guitar. In this case I pair one V69 to a pencil condenser, a neumann KM84, and blend the two to a mono track. Here is why I do this:
    The V69 takes care of all the low end, and most of the midrange. It captures the fullness of the guitar.
    The neumann KM84 is there to capture the high top end, and some more of the upper midrange.
    I use the KM84 like the focus dial on a camera lens. Do you want the guitar more "detailed and present"? You add a little more KM84. You want a more "diffuse and ambient" sound? Then lessen the level of the KM84.
    But always, the V69 is there to capture the bulk of the guitar sound. It is the one that gets the "meat" of the sound. the KM84 captures the "gravy".
    without the good meat, the gravy doesn't mean much...
    There's a reason my moniker is "noeqplease": I like to get the sound there before applying an EQ. EQ to me is for lessening unwanted frequencies, like rumble, or too much top end. Or a "honking" note. AFTER having recorded the sound as close to the original as possible. This has always made for a FAR better and easier mixing and mastering experience down the road.
    Cheers

  • Do you guys actually use adrci ?

    DB version : 11.2.0.3
    Platform : RHEL 5.4
    I was told that professional DBAs use adrci these days to purge unwanted trace files :)
    So, I used it about a month ago , but it didn't remove any log files and I had to manually remove the files then.
    This time it is a different issue. purge command itself is not working this time.
    Issue description:
    =================
    DB HOME filesystem became full because ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log (or ORACLE_HOME/log , can't remember now) directory was getting full by some sort of trace files with the extension .trc
    So, I try to purge unwanted files using adrci . But I got the following error . Eventually I had to manually remove the trace files using rm.

  • Please, if you have ever used schemas with JDOM !!!!!!

    How can we validate a document which refers to a schema rather than a DTD with JDOM ?
    I tried to do that but an error occured, telling to me that my root element isn't declared.
    Can someone help me ?

    Hi,
    If you want more information, go to this web page :
    http://www.jdom.org/docs/faq.html
    There is an answer to your question.

  • Do you ever use the Ignore Sequence Rendering Errors preference? If so, why?

    There is a hidden Ignore Sequence Rendering Errors preference in After Effects that is untested, unsupported, and potentially dangerous to your rendered video---but still maybe useful in some rare cases. If you ever use this preference, tell us here why.
    This preference makes After Effects continue rendering an image sequence, even when errors are encountered that would otherwise stop the render. Of course, this means that you'll end up with bad frames... but maybe you're OK with some bad frames that you can patch later, as long as the render continues for the remaining frames.
    If you do ever use this preference, note that any time that you need to do so, you should also be submitting a bug report so that we know about the errors that you're encountering and can look into fixing them.

    I have absolutely used this, and at times it's been a life-saver!  The principle use case is this:
    Tight deadline, late night.  Delivery is tomorrow.  I've got a complex composite with a number of layers (maybe 4k r3ds) and I'm going to render a dpx image sequence overnight.  It's going to take several hours.   Sometimes the render fails because a 3rd party plug in (say something from Re:Vision or Cycore) throws an error randomly every now and then.
    If I chose Ignore Sequence Rendering Errors, maybe I'll get a bad frame or two, which I can patch in the morning.  But at least 99% of the render is done.  If the render crashes and it stops in the middle of the night.  I'm up a creek.
    Very useful feature which I don't use often, but comes in very handy when I need it.
    Cheers,
    Ari

  • HT5622 I am trying to update the apps on my MacBook with my Apple ID, the one I created long ago when I got my first iPhone. Although when I first got my new MacBook I created a new apple ID with a email address I hardly ever use, and a password I can't r

    Yes, well I ignoratly created a second Apple ID when first setting up my MacBook, and when I go to the "My Purchases" in my Mac App Store, and it shows the apps I've uninstalled, and the apps that are available to update. When I tap on the update icon/text I get a drop down notice, telling me that I have other apps that can be updated using the Apple ID I used to purchase the *apps* in Mac App Store. As far as I am aware  I have only used ONE  Apple ID to purchase Mac Apps, iPhone Apps, and iTunes. I have tried MANY, MANY times to find my second Apple ID. I've gone through and used every email address I making sure non of them were my second Apple Id's . SO is there anyway that I can update my apps using my main apple ID?
    Best Regards,
    Anna Grace Y.

    What are the names of the apps?
    So you are saying that you only ever used the old Apple ID to buy content on the iPhone and the Mac? You never used the new Apple ID to buy content for the Mac?

  • What were you guys thinking or not thinking?

    What were you guys thinking or not thinking?
    We recieved the new guid update it terrible. it's a pail blue with white text, a smaller text size , and it stayson screen for 3 seconds you couldn't read it if you could see it w/the white on light color. do you guys ever look at demmographics the largest sement of population are baby boomers , hello has anyone heard of age related blindness or at least decline. the old info bar stayed on longer so you had a chance to read it and the font size was large enough, and color contrast allowed me  to read from the next room  now you have to be on top of the tv. and keep hitting the button to read it. are you guys trying to give people another reason to leave if so you're doing a darn good job!

    I agree 100%. This is absolutely ridiculous. Bring back the old format, if this is the best you can do. This extremely difficult to read.

  • Have you guy's ever used software to overclock?

    I am a noob as you can tell from my post. :hypecrite:
    I am building a system using:
         MSI K7N2 DELTA L
         AMD 2500+ Barton (333 FSB)
         Corsair PC 3200 DDR
    Has anyone ever used and had success with the following O'C. programs:
         SOFTFSB / BUSRACING / CPUBOOST
    How easy it for a novice to overclock  this chip without software?
    Thanks for all your help.
    Ray K.

    The software overclocking programs you give won't work on the Nforce2 anyway.
    here are some that have much more chances to work and are very easy to use:
     - clockgen: choose the nforce2 program
     - Nvidia System utility
     - 8rdavcore
    This should give you a good feel for it.
    An advice: overclock slowly, 1MHz FSB at a time and test using prime95.
    Overclocking too much too fast can
     - lead to instabilities
     - freeze or reboot your system
     - even damage some part (very rare)
    Have fun!

    i recently lost my 3rd Gen iPod and ive been using find my iPhone to send messages to it, my email then instantly tells me that it had been displayed or it suonded off however it doesn't find the iPod's current location. you guys think this app actually works? i feel like my alerts are just bouncing back at me. please help. Thanks!

    ... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
    With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
    Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
    Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
    Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
    Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.
