I use a Apple Magic Mouse.. which is a laser mouse, and works fantastically (as youd expect) with Mac OS X.

I can approve. But you should try it first, as you might not like touch mice (some people are too used to normal mice and, yeah..)

Question is in the title. Any thoughts? I know there was an Apple computer that sold for quite a bit a few weeks ago, but I'm sure it was way older. It's in perfect condition and I even have an old Apple printer for it (which works as well). Thanks. :apple:

I knew I should have bought bigger guns.

I'm in favor for a BB youtube code. I rather clicking links or opening in a new tab/page
I rather just have it ready to be loaded on site.

I also sold the exact same machine on eBay in August. I got $1,000 for it.

Maybe colorful pants just look bad... :p

I have installed Windows through bootcamp on my Mac. Is there any way to "ask" what disk to start up on so I don't have to hold the option key.

I kind of feel that way, since I've been posting a lot...and also since I can remember back to the great spikey vs. joey j wars.

BTW: Not the dreaded nightsextar tazo! :eek:

nightsextar?

My Uptime - 12 hours :p

Do you pay your electricity bill?

Also that is one sure way to fry your Mac. Power surge can happen at any time.. Do you really trust those $100 surge boards for 24/7 use or do you have UPS.

Also think of how much dust gets in there...

Not smart to leave your computer on 24/7.

We were experiencing some sluggishness yesterday and briefly took the front page down in order to reboot the server right at the time you reported the downtime. That seemed to have perked things up, but obviously we want to avoid having to reboot things. :)

THE server? You mean the entire MacRumors site is run off of a single server? Color me impressed.

Read the seed notes.

Thats rather daft, why would GPU matter?

It doesn't require any hardware changes. All Broadcom WiFi chips that Apple uses already support WAPI.

Go back to the store with an AT&T Wireless phone and press *ID (*43) and hold the phone up to the headphones for 15 sec and it will text message you the name/artist of the song.

Pub quizzes will never be the same again ;)

Your dual 1.8 GHz machine only has a total of 4 DIMM slots.

It can hold a total of 4 GB RAM with 2 matched pairs
of 1 GB DIMMS

You currently have 2 of your total 4 DIMM slots occupied with the stock RAM.

If you go to Crucial you need to select your model
and the appropriate offerings will be displayed.

Same thing with OWC ( www.macsales.com.)
They sell factory original Apple/Samsung RAM

If you want to add a total 1 GB you need to purchase
a pair of 512 sticks.

RAM has gotten so affordable, you might want to hold off till you can afford a pair of 1 GB sticks
and ramp that puppy up another 2GB.

I had the same heating issues while playing WoW on my 15" Late-2009 MBP. I began looking at coolers and decided on the Rain Design mStand. While not an active cooler, it does lift the notebook off the desk surface, providing better air circulation. The aluminum design also helps dissipate heat. As an added bonus, it looks great too.

Meh, i dont want to have to deal with an external keyboard


I suggest the NZXT cooler.

The reviews on that seem to be mixed between it actually cooling things down and the usb ports working?

PS3 Mediaserver is a great solution. I've got it hooked up on my network and use my i7 PC to stream media to it. For streaming media, I usually go for Netflix, which in the US, has a pretty good selection, especially if you are into TV Shows. Sorry about the not so great selection. Hopefully it will get up dated soon. The best solution outside the PS3 media server is to convert everything that the PS3 likes using Handbrake. As a media streamer, i would have to agree with everyone else that it's kinda half baked but works well enough.

Where it shines is as a Blu-Ray player. That's one main reason I use mine and it's fantastic. I've also converted to getting all of my games on the PS3 since I'm afraid my 360 will crap out.

well I ordered through owc because its an amazon store giving me an extra 5% off with my credit card.

at 279 drive plus optibay, it was pretty close to getting an intel drive (230) + optibay for $40


Will I see any difference on a 6gbs drive? its another 60 bucks, not sure if its really worth it to boot up 1second faster. i don't do video editing of really intensive things. I just want fast program launch and fast booting and fast access to my day to day data.

All the Ebay scammers are running from there to Scamlist.

by the way, I just ran a "fsck -fy" test and the msg was "The volume MacIntosh HD appears to be OK"

Please help :(

sold

Now, what is the only thing that needs an update? ;)

The next Mac Mini should be fine for that. If as hoped it gets a Sandy Bridge processor it'll make the MacBook Air look terribly slow in comparison for CPU intensive tasks, especially if you put a SSD in the Mini.

As for EyeTV, the current Mini isn't as powerful as many of us would like, but I find it to be adequate. Hopefully the refresh will correct this and allow smooth playing of live sport in HDTV using progressive scan.

I have EyeTV and two 2009 Minis and see no problems other than the motion problem inherent in 1080i video. Changing computers won't fix that problem.

Are you sure the 2008 model has DDR3? If so, then it means the 2008 model is compatible with DDR3 so there should be no issues, it'll just downclock to 1067mhz.

No, I called Apple and they said I can only buy at the store using a company check.

Can you take the check to the company store and have them do a special/bto order, so you pay there but get it sent to you from the factory?
