Citrix Revs Up Virtual App Software
Photoshop Tries to Win Over the Web 2.0 Crowd
What should photo imaging software giant Adobe be focusing on in a Web 2.0 world? Judging from some new products, it's not just taking on the likes of Apple's iPhoto and Aperture; it's learning to work and play well with social networks like Facebook and digital media storage Web sites such as Flickr. Those could be the chief takeaways from Adobe's announcement this week that it will be releasing Photoshop Elements 7 in late September, along with the imminent launch of Photoshop.com, a photo upload/storage site, and a beta version of a mobile software product.
Adobe announced the September launch of Photoshop Elements 7, a version of the benchmark photo-editing software with features targeted at social networkers. It's banking on easier controls, combined with a Web site offering storage and uploads to photo-sharing sites, to win over a more mainstream user base. more detail...

You want to create a simple web service to manage inventory. You create a class that can be used to model any inventory object that you want to expose through your web service, as follows:
public abstract class Item implements Serializable {
private long id;
private String brand;
private String name;
private double price;
...
}
Then you define classes for specific inventory objects such as the following:
public class Glove extends Item {
private String size;
}
You then define the web service interface:
@WebService()
public class Inventory {
...
public List
public boolean addItem(Item item) {...}
...
}
If you deploy the web service and then look at the generated WSDL and schema, would you see a definition for specific inventory items such as Glove?
a.Yes
b.No

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions…
When you load the application, you have two options: either import footage directly from your camcorder, or load a pre-existing video file found on your PC. All the video editors know how to deal with camcorder footage, but you may not be so lucky regarding support of random video files. Sometimes, it is possible to install a freeware utility called "FFDShow" on Windows, or "Perian" and "Flip4Mac" on the Mac side in order to allow your system to support more video formats.
Once your footage is loaded by your editor, you can start editing. On all editors, you will find either a "timeline" or a "storyboard". These are placeholders where you can drag-n-drop your clips in the order you wish -- as long as clips "touch" each other in the timeline without any gaps. While in the timeline, you can exercise a number of actions upon your clips. The most common action is "split”, where you can chop the clips into different clips and either re-arrange them or discard the parts that you don't like

Video Editing Basics
Once upon a time, digital camcorder users wouldn't edit their footage but would keep their shot footage on tapes as is. Today, there are many video editors in the market that allow you to easily and inexpensively edit your footage and only keep the best memories. These days Windows comes with Movie Maker and Mac OS X comes with iMovie, installed by default. These two are very simple video editors but if more features are needed, one can purchase Sony Vegas, Ulead Videostudio, Pinnacle, Adobe Premiere or After Effects, Final Cut Express or Studio and many more. Despite the plethora of such software, the basics on how they work remain the same.

Mobile Phones : How to Make Good MP3 Ringers w/Nero Wave Editor (nero 6)
This is a quickie guide on how to make good mp3 ringers / ringtones using Nero Wave Editor (included in Nero 6). Included in this guide is video guide using Camstudio (freeware) showing how to do this in nero wave editor.
This recipe requires Nero 6 to be installed. Nero Wave Editor is part of the Nero 6 Ultimate Edition suite.
1. Open Nero Wave Editor.
2. Open the song you want to edit, in my example, my pals band Smakdab's A Perfect Time.
3. Find a good chorus or riff, i tend to use the chorus lines for most ringers and then trim the song by selecting the area to delete and then going to Edit > Delete or CTRL+DEL
4. Keep doing this until you get a good start and end; also try to keep songs below 30 secs to save on space and also since most phones don't ring past that time or loop the ringer after 20 secs or so.
5. Adding a fade in and out to the song to make it sound better smoother.
6. Save your file via File > Save As. I usually will make most ringers mono since its just a ringer but in my example i made it a lower rate 96kbps, 32khz, stereo mp3. the file size of the 23 sec clip = 278KB. Keep in mind that most internal memory storage on cell phones really dont' get above 48mb without including other files/videos.
Try to store you ringers on a memory card if you can. Your phone will run better w/more free space on it and you can put unlimited number of ringers on the card.

OS X: Get Multiple Firewire and USB ASIO Devices Running Together
OS X controls music devices well--unless you want to run multiple ASIO devices at the same time. Luckily, there is a work around. Here is how I got my USB snowball and my Saffire firewall devices running together.
Apple tends to make music creation simple. However, if you try to get complex with it, OS X can be a little difficult to tweak. For example, if you have an ASIO device connected, it is difficult to use another ASIO device at the same time. Difficult, but not impossible.
Depending on what music software and devices you are running, you will get all kinds of ASIO errors. External of your software, you must tell OS X to let these devices play together.
In your Applications/Utilities folder, select Audio Midi Setup.
Under the Audio menu, select Open Aggregate Device Editor
Aggregate the devices you want to use together. In my case, it is the USB snowball mic and a firewire Saffire A to D device. You most likely will need to set one of them to serve as the clock as well.
After you have saved your device as an aggregate, you should see that aggregate as an input/output option in your software.
For example, using this method I can track from my USB snowball mic concurrently with my multiple inputs from my Saffire device.

Photoshop Express = Photoshop.com
The first step toward answering Kay's question: Make sure everything online has the Photoshop brand front and center. Adobe had already dipped its toe into the Web-based waters with its Express Web site. Now that morphs into Photoshop.com, which will offer 5 GB of storage for free and 20 GB for those who pay US$50 a year. Users will be able to upload photos to popular sharing Web sites Flickr, Picasa and Photobucket, and can send photos and videos to the world's top social network, Facebook.
The next step? Promise a seamless experience between desktop, online and Windows Mobile phone with new products Elements 7 and Photoshop Mobile.
Elements 7 ($100, $80 with upgrade) offers enhanced digital imaging/touchup tools including Scene Cleaner for scrubbing away unwanted backgrounds (and, possibly, ex-spouses) from photos and a series of tabs -- Full Edit, Quick Fix and Guided Editing -- that offer a variety of features, depending on whether the user is a newbie or a seasoned Photoshop pro.
Photoshop Mobile is for use with Windows Mobile phones and will also debut in late September. This represents Adobe's realization of the ubiquity of multi-megapixel camera phones, along with the desire by users to shoot photos and immediately post them to their favorite social network or media-sharing site.
Making Photoshop Mainstream
The challenge for Adobe, Kay said, is to transfer a franchise that may be more popular with serious photography enthusiasts and creative services professionals and make it mainstream and user-friendly.
"What's happening is, this capability (photos and videos) is coming within the reach of Everyman," Kay said. "The tools making it accessible need to be put into place as well. They need to broaden their products to appeal to wider markets. That doesn't mean dumbing them down but hiding their complexity, making the controls easier."
When it comes to Adobe discovering the usefulness of trends like social networks and photo-sharing sites, Kay has a caveat that an hour's worth of Smart Brushing can't erase: "Adobe is coming late to the game. It reminds me of Kodak coming late to the game in digital photography.
