OSX is not more secure than Windows. It is simply not attacked as much. That doesn't equate to being more secure - even their own security experts admit that Windows 7/8 are more secure operating systems. And, when you place them side by side with a team of hackers - it's OSX that gets hacked quickest. http://www.dailytech.com/Apples+OS+X+is+First+OS+to+be+Hacked+at+This+Years+Pwn2Own/article21097.htm http://www.tomshardware.com/news/hack-windows-security-snow-leopard,8704.html Windows is more secure specifically because it gets targeted. I've run three separate installs of Windows 7 and Windows 8 over the last 6 years and I've not had one single virus or malware. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. As for market share, I have a copy of Custom PC magazine from 2006 that states OSX's share in the desktop market at about 6%. Apparently it's now 7%, so their market share has barely changed in 7 years. You say Windows has lost 10% but I think that's rubbish, only when you start factoring in mobile devices and iPads can you portray MS as having lost market share. Windows 7 was the biggest and fastest selling OS in history. And Windows 8 has already overtaken Vista and using projected sales Windows 8 alone will be used by more people than OSX by about March/April time. That isn't even the point however. The point is, specifically when it comes to the corporate market. Microsoft have it all sewn up. A few students and young people and trendy businesses adopting Mac OSX isn't going to change that because those are still very small numbers. Take a bank for example. My brother helped build the IT infrastructure for one of the biggest banks in the world. Their entire network and systems and infrastructure runs on Windows, with some Linux on the back end. Their tens of thousands of staff know how to use Windows, and all the software that they use has been coded to only run on Windows. Now are you seriously suggesting that there is a threat to that? Why would they switch to an OS that isn't designed to be used in that manner (OSX is designed for the end user) at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars...only for every single one of their staff to need training at great expense and great loss of revenue and all their software also need to be completely re-written to work on OSX? It would be such a tremendously huge operation for little or no gain. I nearly forgot - you'd have to replace every single computer with Macs. Yeah - it's not going to happen. Sorry, but Apple may make some minor inroads into the consumer desktop PC market, but Microsoft and Linux have the corporate industry sector sewn up so tight it will never switch over to OSX. It would be far, far too expensive and unnecessary. You can get a PC workstation suitable for general use for about £300...cheapest Mac is what...£1000? Come on, use your brain, it's never going to happen.

Apple can never and will never compete with MS in the desktop PC market. Especially in the corporate market. They are not trying to take on Microsoft at all. You can't, it would be completely futile. Apple's success comes from iPod/iPhone/iPad. Not Mac.

There's a lot of truth in this. The simple fact is - a lot of industry software is simply built to run on a PC and not a Mac. 3DS Max is a very good example, 3DS is the de facto standard for movie animation and a lot of CGI, as well as a lot of video games. Actually if you can learn 3DS Max and get very good at it, that's a very interesting field to get into. I worked with it a fair bit at Uni and to say the software is amazing is a severe understatement. I'm guessing you have used it too! Some would say "but you can run windows on a mac" but then I would say, why not just get a Windows PC? It seems bizarre to buy a Mac and then run Windows software. Even MS Office is better on Windows. Yeah...just get Windows!

Not a big fan if I'm honest, it just looks like a slightly tweaked version of the default with a textured background. But, each to their own...

I'd echo RD's sentiments. Your site is suffering from horrendous plugin bloat. Each page is making a staggering 170 requests and takes over five seconds to load: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/yCE5SAlZR/http://sqmagazine.co.uk/2012/11/sqtv-episode-4-demo-2012-interviews-coverage/

Wind your neck in!

I adore my Nexus 10. You do need to have...well, a need for the use of one though. I know a lot of people that want to buy a tablet, but when you ask them why, it's really just because they're the "in" thing. And frankly, no matter what you buy, if you don't have a need for it, it will just sit around gathering dust. And even though the 10 is affordable, it's still £300. Also, be aware that like the iPads, it does not support Flash. If you're going to be a more casual user, you probably are best off saving the cash and going for the Nexus 7.

Erm. This thread is ancient, the page is irrelevant, and the link is dead.

Regardless of OS, no machine should "slow down". If it does, it's just not being maintained properly. I haven't reinstalled Windows 7 since the day I got it several years back and it runs perfectly fine. So no, if the Macbook is looked after, it should continue to run fine. Re-installing an OS twice a year is an extreme and silly measure, there are much easier ways to maintain your OS. De-fragmentation, disk cleanup, uninstalling unused software, virus scans, clearing out old files, etc.

Decent. But...the break points are weird. At over 1000px wide, it's still displaying like you'd expect for portrait mobile use. I also find the combination of a strong background image and textures a little strong. Other than that, good work.

They're not "covering" the third kit, they just have an image for every possible eventuality and use logic to work out which one to show. PHP logic, for example, is very simple. if ($variable1<600) { $img = 1; } elseif ($variable1<1000) { $img = 2; } else { $img = 3; }

Check support using caniuse.com. Much of both can be used now, and where something lacks more widespread support, there is usually a polyfill that adds support. A very common example of a polyfill is the HTML5 element polyfill for IE8m which I've included below. This should be in the header of every HTML5 document. <!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script> <![endif]--> Everybody who writes HTML and is using HTML5 should be acquainting themselves with polyfills, they are a necessary method of using HTML5 and CSS3 without sacrificing browser support. Lea Verou has an excellent article on polyfills: http://lea.verou.me/...lling-the-gaps/ Link is weirdly dead atm but it should be fine soon, or Google it. Edit: Sorry seanjohnson realise you've already mentioned the HTML5 polyfill, my bad!

Your code is wrong. Try this. Suggestion - Learn some PHP. function nameofyourtheme_widgets_init() { register_sidebar(array( 'name'=>'Anything, such as Widgets Left', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div></div>', 'before_title' => '<div class="widget-title"><h3>', 'after_title' => '</h3></div><div class="widget-content">', )); register_sidebar(array( 'name'=>'Widgets Middle', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div></div>', 'before_title' => '<div class="widget-title"><h3>', 'after_title' => '</h3></div><div class="widget-content">', )); register_sidebar(array( 'name'=>'Widgets Right', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div></div>', 'before_title' => '<div class="widget-title"><h3>', 'after_title' => '</h3></div><div class="widget-content">', )); }

And the error?

So....what are lines 91, 98 and 105?

If you read the instructions, it walks you through step-by-step exactly what you need to do. Or try Sash's method.

Out of curiosity, what are the bugs? I'm still on ICS at the moment, so if you're having these issues with JB it might be best I hold off on it until they've sorted it. I'm with you on Kies, it's terrible. I really wish I could just use the normal update. On a side note, my Nexus 10 runs JB and it's not had any issues, so far, so as it's running 4.2 perhaps that will be the version fixes the issues.

Sheesh kabeesh man, what are you doing to it?! I've never had to factory restore my S2 and it's been going strong for a year and a half now. Not arguing your point, you're right, but three factory resets in two months is not normal for Android. If you're having that many problems with it I'd be inclined to think you have an issue with your handset. Have you tried replacing it? Should be fairly straight forward.

Read the instructions. It tells you where to put the code. You put that first bit of code where you want your boxes to be.

http://themeshaper.com/2010/06/03/sample-theme-options/ Very easy to use and follow.

You're looking to create a very very bespoke service. The likelihood of there being software out there that does what you're asking is pretty much nil. You need a custom developed solution. I also take issue with the business plan. You're expecting people to have to send you the item, at expense and time and effort, to you for you to look at BEFORE you tell them how much it's worth? Sorry but that's rubbish, nobody will bother. You should ask them to send pictures of the item through the website. You're essentially creating a quote system. That should be fairly simple to do via php but I do think it needs to be bespoke.

It should either be provided by the company or produced by a copywriter.

I would say you'd need to be getting at least 600,000 unique visitors (not hits) per month.

You can access a locally developed site on a mobile without putting it online.

I really think you could up the contrast of the text without affecting the design. Too many textures IMO. Otherwise it's decent.
