i mean the screen is huge it'll be hard for someone behind you or sitting next to you not to look over at the phone, not that i have anything to hide but I might find it weird. what do you think about those screen privacy protectors?? or should i lover the brightness??
Zagg has a privacy screen protector for the 5 series iPhones, only a matter of time till they make them for the 6.
I have the same concern. The phone is so large and the display so clear that stealth usage is not really an option. It will be especially difficult for the next few months while the phone is still not easy to get and everyone notices it. There is little chance of discreetly responding to a text or email. Also, make sure you don't get any inappropriate content in the screen because everyone will see it. #
When I'm at work, I spend a lot of time in meetings where I do not have much of an active role. We have an unsaid rule in the office that if you are not a main person in the meeting, then it is ok to use your phone to to respond to work emails and such. However, The phone is so big that everyone notices if you use it.
I was at a street fair yesterday taking photos and every time I whipped it out, someone would ask about it.
It's not the end of the world, but it does require me to be more thoughtful about how and when I interact with my device.
Are you really concerned about this? How many people are actually sitting over your shoulder where they can see what you're doing?
If someone is looking ito your phone, just turn to them and ask them if they need help. Some people need to learn how to protect their privacy.
i guess people don't understand. i live in NYC and commute to work on public transportation which is usually packed like a sardine can, thats what i was implying bc on a packed train/bus its hard to be discreet
My girlfriend installed it on the machine in the mistaken belief that she had to use it in order to view PDFs in FireFox.
I'm a Safari user for its RSS capabilities and Adobe Reader is super annoying because it takes forever to fire up a PDF in-browser.
But the real pisser is that it freezes all the time. I can't even get into preferences without this ridiculous app crashing. I've tried deleting the plug-ins from the library, I've tried just dumping the app only to have Safari ask where Adobe Reader went when I click on a PDF.
This was cut from a article in Forbes. I attached the link at the bottom. If this is true this is WONDERFUL news!
First, a clarification. There is no accepting Apple Pay. You may have read an article or five suggesting that retailers dont plan to support Apple Pay, implying there is some special thing they have to do to work with Apple. What a retailer needs is nothing more than a NFC-equipped point-of-sale terminal. Those arent everywhere yet. Apple says 220,000 merchants have them; First Data says thats out of 8 million retail points of sale in the U.S. But if the NFC reader is live it supports Apple Pay, whether or not the retailer has a deal with Apple Pay.
That said, forward-thinking retailers made a point of being ready to support the technology. McDonalds, Subway, Macys, Whole Foods, Walgreens (along with subsidiary Duane Reade) and others are part of the first wave. The above slide from last weeks iPad event show others who will be rolling out support over the coming months."
On one hand, if this succeeds, retailers will start specifically saying "We Accept Apple Pay" and the concept of a contactless card reader would basically be owned by Apple (from a public POV)
On the other hand, they haven't done a very good job saying "If you see this symbol, it means it will work with Apple Pay" That symbol of course being the sideways WiFi looking thing. People not specifically seeing " Pay" might not use it because they don't understand that they can.
I would not be surprised if Apple tries to get a program going where retailers can place a little " Pay" sticker under their lineup of accepted credit cards. They frankly would be stupid not to.
I've got to agree that besides those of us who actually visit this forum and/or are interested in technology, most people have no idea what NFC is or how Apple Pay even works, - it's going to be really confusing for most people I think until they get use to using it.
I was thinking about this exact thing. I'm going to go with the former. While any NFC terminal will work, Apple only makes $ off of Apple Pay merchants, correct? (I could be wrong.) So they want to push retailers into signing up because people who don't know better (because they didn't explain it) will ask if they take "ApplePay."
And then it will become a thing that "ApplePay" will become a verb. Merchants will start putting that little ApplePay sticker in the window to show that they accept it. restaurants will start using mobile terminals (like they do overseas) so that you can just ApplePay (see what I did there) at your table, split the check, etc.
Also, all the banks who have not yet signed up to support this will be rushing. People are actually considering switching their banks so they can use this feature. That is amazing influence, IMO.
It will work with any terminal that has NFC enabled. No special hardware or support is required. I used it on a random vending machine today that supports PayPass.
I'm sure they'll get merchants to have the Apple Pay logo displayed so that it's very clear to everyone. But rest assured, any place that accepts NFC/contactless parents accepts Apple Pay.
I don't know how many people visit the website. Apple should put out an ad that emphasizes how to use Apple Pay

UNLESS the merchant goes through great lengths to specifically block ApplePay (and Google Wallet). Which is unfortunately a thing.
Nope. The merchant actually doesn't have anything to do with Apple in the transaction. Those who "signed up" essentially only committed to having NFC enabled terminals at all (most) their outletts and (theoretically) training their people to not give you a blank stare when you say Apple Pay.
When you pay with Apple pay the tokenized transaction flows from the NFC reader through the payment network to your bank. The network validates the encrypted token with Apple and the bank sends the approval back up the chain to the register. It says Approved, the checkout person says thank you, and off you go on your way. The bank pays a small fee to Apple for the transaction. They're expecting the reduced fraud costs to offset the cost of the fees, net effect everyone wins. Except the crooks.
I have seen youtube videos of a Canadian with an American Chase Visa or MC using it on a Canadian Coca-Cola vending machine so that alone is 100% proof their is no setup on the terminal required if the terminal accepts NFC payments
You could have easily just said, "No, the banks are the ones who make money, not the retailers." lol
Business 101: Every time you swipe your credit cards, banks get a fee. If you are a merchant, you have to pay for those swiping devices. Any person going into business should have researched that part. Amex cost more than Visa/Mastercard in businesses.
As for Apple, their products are already being sold in stores. If you notice, the retail Apps that are most popular received ApplePay first. Starbucks, Panera, etc already allow iPhone/ipod users to scan their iOS devices in stores. Passbook I thought was interesting. Every time I drove by a Starbucks or Kroger their App icon would pop up on my lock screen without any wifi available especially on my iPod touch 4th gen. So its not surprising to see those merchants adapting to Apple Pay. Both Apple and Businesses will benefit with using ApplePay.
Last month I saw where Target changed all of their credit card devices. Only problem that I saw was that the NFC is that you cannot remove it from the pedestal. If you are in a wheelchair, you cannot see the screen.
@OP Everything is too early to call. I bet that businesses are looking at how ApplePay will increase traffic to their business. With all the security breaches in the past years, they will also look at that. I'm also betting that Visa/Mastercard are looking to cash in too, not just Apple. It's important to keep up with technology and to give consumers the best buying experience. It's an incentive for customers to shop.
I bet that businesses are looking at how ApplePay will increase traffic to their business. With all the security breaches in the past years, they will also look at that.
I'd venture to guess that the payment industry will end up offering lower fees for EMV tokenized transactions (which Apple Pay is using) as an incentive to get merchants to adopt it and thereby reduce fraud losses. It'll likely end up costing merchants less to take Apple Pay than a swipe+sign, not sure if there will be an incentive for chip+pin vs chip+sign yet though.
What will then be interesting is how the industry will incent the public to use Apple Pay (or any alternate tokenized transaction technology).
Not so fast...My local Home Depot has the capability to accept Apple Pay (or any other form of NFC payment) but they have them switched off for some reason. My phone recognized the terminal, everything went through and then it said "card declined". Didn't have anything to do with the card as I pulled out the same card that is in Passbook, swiped it and it worked.

I am an American with a US iPhone 6 and I added my Visa and American Express cards to Passbook quite easily. Leaving Hong Kong airport yesterday I visited three shops including a McDonald's and two no-name sandwich joints and in all three instances the NFC terminals accepted the Apple Pay handshake but in the end declined the transaction.
So it takes both an active NFC reader and some back end integration in order to truly make Apple Pay function properly.
I have a Citi MasterCard registered in Apple Pay. For whatever reason, it will not work at the vending machine here at work. If I swipe it, it works. If I use ApplePay with my CapitalOne Visa, it works. ApplePay works with my Citi card elsewhere.
I don't know what the problem is. Citi doesn't know what the problem is. But it's not that the vending machine doesn't take ApplePay, because they clearly do. It's not that they don't take MasterCard, because they clearly do. There is definitely some issue here, but it's not because the vendor hasn't done something specifically to support ApplePay because there's nothing they need to do. This is also proven out there with the videos of people using ApplePay internationally with US credit cards.
Deleting Xcode, there is no program to develop more apps and games for IOS, which is free? i know the Corona SDK and the GameSalad but both are paid, you can not develop apps in their programs without paying, I wanted to learn first and then when already knew, I'd buy, not want to buy without knowing anything.
Yes i know that, but to try corona i need to pay, and first i want to understand the language and features to make a good app, advise me to learn Lua programming and buy the Corona SDK?
i know the Corona SDK and the GameSalad but both are paid, you can not develop apps in their programs without paying, ...
According to the GameSalad website, GameSalad has a free version. It allows you to publish your games.
No matter which game engine you use, you will not be able to test or run the game on the device without a paid iOS developer account. That involves paying $99 to Apple, not to the game engine supplier.
See this article, which links to fairly significant lists of game engines, both commercial and free:
2 Lua is the language that replaces objective-c, but using Xcode,i use cocos2d , and using the SDK corona can continue to use cocos2d with their physics,box2d etc?
2. It might be possible to bridge them but I don't think it's a great idea stick with one or the other.
1ºI will make the graphics, and I read that in the corona sdk is not necessary to write all that code for OpenGL that we write in xcode, how is it really?
2ºI see companies like Chillingo or Rovio to make games using cocos2d, but my doubt is using the corona SDK i can use box2d etc but I use the cocos2d on xcode and i can use the same cocos2d on corona sdk?and i dont know but i dont believe that chillingo uses xcode to make her games,corona is the best SDK to make 2D mobile games and i want to know how the graphics are made on the program.
And I do not know but I can not believe that companies like Rovio make their games in xcode, almost certainly do in the corona and they use cocos2d, this makes me confusion
I advise downloading the freely downloadable Corona SDK, and following the instructions on how to install it and use it.
When I went to their website, it was trivial to sign up and download the SDK. I paid nothing for this.
There are instructions on how to use it to write the simple Hello World programs, and run them on the simulator. s far as I can tell, I pay nothing to enable this.
There are also many examples on their website. And many people have posted more examples, and some of them appear to be complete game projects. As far as I can tell, I pay nothing for any of these.
The only time I have to pay something is when I decide to publish my game. Or maybe it's when I first want to test my game on the actual iOS device. That's not yet clear to me, because the SDK download hasn't finished yet.
The problem you originally posted about was that you had to pay to start developing your game. This is definitely not true for GameSalad, as I previously pointed out. From what I've seen so far with Corona SDK, it's not true for that, either.
Your later post seems to say that you've chosen not to use GameSalad. So why would you mention it at all if you're not going to use it?
I thought I'd use gamesalad, but I discovered there is not a good SDK apps to do, because it is not very consistent or you can make great games and sdk corona is much better, I've downloaded the corona SDK but the corona free version only has the simulator, not the part where we have the same code and everything else, but many people say they only need to pay when you publish your game, I really liked to give me some help on how to install the sdk free corona so you can use it to make my game was very important to me
I have a G5 with dual 2.5 ghz running the latest leopard and it gets hung up during start up. The login window never appears and I just see a blue screen and no cursor.
I have put the 10.5 cd in and restarted with the "c" button held down and it wont start from the cd. Same blue screen.
I tried re starting with the shift button held dow, I get to the blue screen, and my cursor shows, but nothing more.
Try holding down option, and booting from the disc (remember to hit the key, after the bong). Beyond that it may be a hardware fault, you should have it looked at by a professional.
2. Immediately press and hold down the Command and S keys until text begins to scroll on screen. In a few more seconds, the Unix command line prompt (%).
6. If you see that message, REPEAT Steps 3 and 4 again and again until that message no longer appears. Having to run fsck more than once is normal, because the first run's repairs may uncover additional problems.
however fsck is scary sounding to me. I just don't want to mess with it so I took it to MacMall. 60 bux to diagnose the problem.
To boot into safe mode, hold down the SHIFT key while you boot, until you get to a command prompt. When you see that, simply type "exit" or "logout" and your system will reboot.
THE GRAPHICS CARD FRIED!!!!!!! $240 for a new one. I just started X-Plane 9.0 beta 24. Maybe that blew it. Quite the sim!!!!!!
300 bones or so. I wanted to update the graphics card but was told they only make mac Pro graphics cards now, and my power mac would have to live with the stock one!!
OK. Macmall ordered a new card without even checking to see if it was the right one. It was not. The card was upgraded and NOT the one that particular computer was supposed to come with stock. So anyway. The one I need to replace it is backordered and not available for possibly a MONTH???
DO I believe this, or spring my computer from them and buy one online and put it in myself????? Or should I just keep it there?
The only problem is I can't, for the life of me find what type of battery it uses. It doesn't say on the box, it's webpage and it didn't come with a manual to my knowledge.
Because of this I'm not sure how I should go about charging it. Ive only done one full cycle (let it die then charge to 100%) not sure if it really matter, it probably doesn't have the same battery as my iPad or iPhone
I have no idea, but just by looking at that page, it says it comes with a "100 / 240V AC adapter included".
Query - I thinking if its not the ram it may be the bios, how does one check the bios on a mac pro to see if its configured correctly?
I've bought memory from them for my Mac Pro and the sticks are fine.Run a little warm but thats expected.
However I would prefer this pair worked, as it would take less hassle and time then going and getting another 2 dimms.
Place the new RAM into the known good slots. Does it work? Then it's slots. Does it not work? Then it's faulty RAM.
I've contacted the seller, and if I can't get the ram to work they will take it back and give me a refund.
How do I run the 'hardware test' off the install CD, I see a test for the Diskdrive, but the an overal hardware test.
Ok, done - No errors where found, I checked the profile and it did show the memory cards, but at 0MB each.
The riser is fine - Right now Riser A is Riser B and New Ram is in old ram location (So Riser B is in Riser A slot with Orginal RAM, Riser A is in Riser B slot with New Ram). Trust me, I did all the combinations. If it wasn't for the different brand stickers I wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
I'd suggest swapping the new ones with the ones that came originally with the computer. If the new ones still don't work in the place where the original ones were working, then the RAM is probably shot.
I am about to change the fork of my 2016 SC 5010 cc bike, I want to buy a Pike , my LBS has a 2018 Pike in 160mm. at a great price, does anyone out there have any experience with 160 forks in the 5010?,pros ?, cons ? , performance ? thanks for your comments.
That's a big fork for the 5010 V2. SC says 140mm max, so you would be in 'unsupported' territory. I am running a 140mm and personally wouldn't want it any slacker.
That said you could buy the pike and get a 140mm air spring for it for ~$40. They are pretty easy to swap out and maybe the shop would even do it for you for free if you buy the fork/spring there and ask nice.
Thanks for your recommendation, you are absolutely right, I will buy the 160 and change the travel to 140.
I have an MRP Stage on my V2. I settled on 145mm for travel after trying 140 and 150mm. It would wander a bit too much on steep climbs at 150. A2C height on an MRP Stage is 10mm less than the Pike.
of Little League baseball here in Killingly,Ct.Im helping coach my son's team this year,and im excited like im going to play today.Parade at 9:00a.m.,followed by a short game.Monday is the first real game,and i cannot wait.Sacrificing some quality fishing time,but i think it is more then worth the lost fishing time.Will keep you all up to date on my teams success this season as i think we have a legitimate chance to win the league this year.Oh yea....good luck fishing!!!!!!!
Our opening day is tommorrow (Jewett City ). I have been a manager or coach for the last 6 years but took this year off after having a real tough season last year . I had to have a 10 year old arrested last year after he told me and my 2 coaches that he was going to go home get a gun and kill us . He did this in front of the team during a game . It realy upset the team and a lot of the parents . Some KIDS these days . . My sons first game is also Monday I look forward to seeing them play . Later Bill
I seen that Bill.We were fortunate to get opening day in yesterday with rain approaching.Monday looks wet,but im ready for Wednesday...LOL
Travis was 1 for 2 at the plate,gave up 1 hit and struck out 9 in 4 innings of work on the mound.Not too bad for the first game.....Cmon Wednesday...
My son(Travis) was 2 for 2 at the plate with a single and a double.Season Batting stats.....3-4 (2doubles,1 single) with 2 walks......
Hey Bob check this one out . I was at my kids pratice Friday and his coach is telling all the kids to lower thier right elbow below level when they are at bat . I kept my mouth shut but told my son not to do it and to listen to his batting coach which is one of my best friends . I will not bad mouth any coach in front of the kids . But as time goes on I think that this guy and I are going to have a few words , I know one thing this is the first year that I have been on the side lines and I don"t think I like it . Later Bill
My son(Travis) was 2 for 3 at the plate with a Triple and a single.Just missed his first career Homer...LOL Season Batting....5 for 7...
Game 4 Friday.....Win 3-1 against the "best" team in the league.Great win here for the boys,as im sure it will boost team morale greatly.
Game 5.....Today(Sat.)....Win 10-0....5 inning Mercy rule victory....Travis pitched all 5 innings,giving up 2 hits and stiking out 11.He also went for 3 for 4 at the plate with 2 singles,and a double.

Is there an add-on to clean up abandoned carts? I do not mind keeping the cart itself, but I want to be able to remove out-of-stock products from them.
You might have to update it for modern osC releases. At least, it might provide you with a starting point.
Well, months ago, I was using PCSX2, and trying Kingdom Hearts II. It was running way too slow (intro) and the options "New Game" and "Load Game" weren't appearing.
These days, my PC went to HDD cleaning, and I reinstalled PCSX2. Somehow, I think I put the definitions I used before even though I didn't have the EXACT plugins (but I always used ZeroGS), and the intro runs pretty smoother and at normal speed.
But it always crashes after the Roxas scene (cuz I always skip the scenes because they go too slow).
I've tried other games such as Crash Twinsanity or Crash Bandicoot: TWoC but they go way too slow too
Even with a powerfull machine KH/KH2 is a hard game to run, on KH1 I get some fps drops. Theres not much that can be done about it untill PCSX2 gets better, which will happen, just eventually
Um actually the PS2 card is almost = to the Intel Pentium 4 (PS2 is a little bit much weaker than Pentium 4)
Games must run at full speed. The program wasn't just coded enough to a Pentium 4. People only use a Dual Core because it's already ready for it.

maybe, but architecture is completely different. This explains why you need a really MORE powerful cpu to make emulation possible.
Yeah sure, just ignore the fact that your machine has to emulate a whole environment to actually run the games at all. There is much more to it than just processing power, you can't just compare the R5900 to your P4 and think it will work the same just because the specs suggest it should.
Now what I'm intrested in is your reason not to buy a multicore, what could possibly be a "good" reason for that?

Second: even though I would find one, isn't it a little bit expensive? I mean, I have to buy it and pay a guy placing it...
Third: I don't find any good motive to have a Dual Core on my PC since it's nothing but home PC. If it was portable, then it would be really interesting

Do you know of any audio or Video tape sets that are useful for PM&R. I have several easy elective months during internship and would like to get a little headstart.
Topics of interest would include: Musculoskeletal Exam, Neuro Exam, Neuro and Musculoskeletal Anatomy, General Rehab information, etc.
I don't have any video or audio tapes that would be useful for PM&R. A couple of my favorite books are:
1. Image-Guided Spine Intervention by Fenton. I wouldn't get this book unless you want to do Interventional Spine Procedures. Even if you don't, you still might find this book useful if you think you might refer people for these procedures in the future.
5. Orthopedic Physical Assessment by Magee. I think it's a good reference book to have and a lot of people will recommend this book to you. Our program bought this book for us.
There are a few other books that I like, but they are really expensive and I just read it when I'm at the library. Don't underestimate the value of a good review article too -- especially since it's free! Send me a private message with your e-mail and I'll send you a list of what some consider to be the essential articles in PM&R. I just ordered a few other books and I'll let you about them when I get a chance to read them.
There are too many on the list and I don't know how to cut and paste from the PDF file. I'll e-mail you a copy of the list. If someone knows how to cut and paste from a PDF file, perhaps they can post the articles here.
Did you use this tape set yourself? How good are these tapes? Are they suitable for an intern with only a few months experience with PM&R? I appreciate the link and may have found a way to get them used for cheap.
Ever since wednesday I have been unable to stream any recoreded shows on our XFINITY account from my macbook (Using Safari). The page will get stuck in an endless loading cycle or only play 2 mintues worth and then freeze up. I usually end up having to force quit my browser to get out. I've restarted my computer more times than I can remember, disconnected and reconnected to the network, tried using firefox, cleared Safari's cache, and logged in and out of the account several times. My parents are still able to stream shows from their devices without a problem. My apartment (on wednesday when this all started happening) upgraded the wireless connection (ResNet) in our apartment by installing an "Aruba" device to our ethernet port in the main room. We were told we wouldnt have to do anything or change anything once the device was installed. I dont have any trouble with the internet in general, and I can still stream from other sources (Netflix or youtube). It's only XFINITY that isnt working for me. I'm completly at a loss for what it could be or what to do about it.
The endless loading cycle is likely due to Flash being updated. When My Mac and PC updated to the first release of Flash version 27.0 both Firefox and Safari (I found Safari to be unstable streaming xfinity, firefox is a lot more stable) got stuck in a continual loading loop after streaming xfinity and closing the browser and re-opening. I could get Firefox to stream xfinity again after resetting the browser, but had to do this everytime. Root cause: Flash version 27 (first release) was corrupting the browser configuration. un-installed flash version 27 and re-installed 26.0.0.151 and reset the browser, problem solved on both the MAC and PC. You will need to disable automatic updates or it will just re-install v27.
Note: Flash is a full blown programing language and NOT just a video player, and is FREQUENTLY updated to fix security holes. This fix is NOT recommended as a permanent fix.
