Hello Guys,

Here is a small document prepared on differentiating Pentaho Open source Vs Jasper Professional.

Based on the below information one can take decision on tool selection for BI needs.

I would like to present a clear picture with insight & readers of this document are encouraged to add your points in the comment box..

IMP NOTE:  Remember , I am comparing the Pentaho Open source(Community) 5.0.1 stable  with Jasper Professional(licensed) 5.5 

Dashboards :
Key feaute Pentaho Open source Dashboard Jasper Professional dashboard
Tool Community Tools(C-Tools) – Server plug ins


CDE(Community Dashboard Editor)
CDF(Community Dashboard Framework)
CDA(Community Data Access)
iReport/Jasper Studio


Desktop stand alone tools
Development of Reports done at Fly on the server itself Depends on stand alone designing tools & need to publish to the server and again need to design the dashboard
Responsiveness /Mobile support Responsiveness is achievable using bootstrap css framework Lack of responsiveness even though there is Proprtional property of the dashboard designer
Dashboards output end view-able devices Compatible with Mobile/iPad/laptop/Desktop/TV like big screens Compatible with laptop/desktop
Charts Protovis charts implemented, extend able to D3 charts.. can integrate fusion and HTML charts also. Embedded charts engines – Jfree, Fusion & HTML5 charts.


Can integrate protovis/D3 charts using html component of iReport/Jasper Studio
Loading of charts on the dashboard Will take lesser time using Pentahos powerful caching mechanism Will take longer time to load the charts on the dashboard
Embedding BI Achievable using iframe tags Achievable using iframe tags
Community support Active Active as it is a professional .. general community is not so active
Interactivity/Drill down/ Inter charts(frames) communication Achievable Achievable
Multi-tenancy Need to check (will update on this) Achievable

Farm Frenzy 3 Ice Age PC Game Full version


Review:
Whether you prefer the sunny beaches of Tropical Farm, or the icy landscapes of Farm Frenzy: Ice Age, one thing is certain -  farming fans have no shortage of time management games to choose from. Farm Frenzy 3: Ice Age is the third frantic game with the title "Farm Frenzy 3" to be released by Alawar in recent months, and it delivers much of what youd expect from the series.
The original Farm Frenzy 3 had you traveling across the globe, while Farm Frenzy 3: American Pie had you farming in the USA with robots. You may be wondering to yourself, "Why is each game is being called Farm Frenzy 3 instead of Farm Frenzy 4 or 5?" The answer becomes apparent if youve played more than one game in the series. Each Farm Frenzy 3 game is a variant of the original, with the same game play mechanics and feel, yet a slightly different theme.
As you might have guessed by the name, Farm Frenzy: Ice Age follows Scarlet as she runs a frosty farm way up in the North Pole. Theres a surprise guest, but his jolly identity should be a no-brainer given the location. Like always, the story is light and doesnt offer much in the way of details or explanations.
The game play follows the same familiar format as the other Farm Frenzy 3 games. You need to keep your well full in order to provide food for your animals to stay alive. Animals drop produce, like eggs and feathers, and these can be gathered and sold.
The graphics have undergone a complete overhaul to fit with the chilly theme, so you farm over a frozen pond instead of a green pasture. All of the animals are animated, so its fun to watch them waddle around the screen eating fish and amusing themselves. Since everything is Arctic-themed, you get to raise penguins, royal (colorful) penguins, walruses, and wooly mammoth.  As usual, you can also buy cats to help gather produce, and dogs to chase away predators. Dogs dont explode in this version, by the way...they just roll off the screen.
Polar bears pose a problem and will randomly attack and steal your livestock, but these can be captured with rapid mouse clicks and then sold for a profit. They can even be dressed up in funny snowsuits for extra cash later in the game. For another cute surprise, pause your game and leave it running for a while, and see what happens.
You can use produce youve gathered to produce processed goods like cookies and cakes once youve bought the right upgrades, and additional goodies can be paid for and airlifted into the playing field to help you meet your targets. Most of these processed goods are the same as in Farm Frenzy 3, and include cookies, cakes, fancy feathers, clothing, and of course ice cream.
Like in previous games, sometimes processed goods are required to make other processed goods, leading to complex chains. For example, feathers can be made into decorative feathers, which can then be made into fabric, which can then be sewn into clothes, which can then finally be used to dress bears. Dont worry about having to remember all of that, since everything is introduced very slowly and becomes second nature with repetition. Read more
