A long time ago I disassembled my powerbook cause it had a lot of problems, and I lost the cable that goes to the pram board/battery. THe battery is dead anyways.
I plan on using this machine as a simple "airport express"-esque itunes music player controlled by my ios device with Remote. display is bad, keyboard is bad, trackpad, etc. I will shed the os of anything unneccessary and optimize for shear itunes playback performance and that's it.
Anyways, can I ditch that pram battery board without any real issues?

I would trust this if it's the same guy that gussed the Ipad 2 specs ect..
It's already been confirmed elsewhere Apple will use 8MP camera and A5 processor.
I can see a delay aswell but I don't think we will see Iphone 6 early. How would that go? Would have to be lack of demand for the 5th gen which won't happen.
Say it comes out October and delays mean it's still 3 - 4 weeks delivery in December. Then they announce a new model in March where is the logic? They could probably announce it in the usual June point I guess. But what I read is the demand for Ipad 2 means there won't be a third for a year.
It would make no sense for Apple to release two new models in one year can't afford all these upgrades.
Also it makes sense about the rumour spec as the white Iphone coming late if they keep the same design for the 5th gen people won't mind. However surely they need a little more than 8MP camera and a new chip for Iphone 5? what else could a minor 3GS update provide? The White apple saga reminds me of the Sony Ericsson C905 seemingly W995 was supposed to come at the same time they delayed it everybody got rid of the awful C905 and got a W995. Maybe the white Iphone could further delay the Iphone 5 until next year?

I'm running Lion DP2 off my WD external USB2 1TB drive.
I just created a new Mac OS X Journaled partition of 150mb and chose it from the "Show More Disks" option on the Lion installer.

I had been using my MBP all morning with no problems. I shut the screen and let it go into sleep mode for about an hour before I went back to get on it. At first I thought it just wasn't waking up from sleep mode, because the screen just stayed black but the fans booted up and I could hear it running. So, I shut the lid again, opened, and nothing.
Tried rebooting. The screen stays black the entire time, and I hear the faint sound of the start up sound. When I close the screen, the light at the front doesn't do the "breathing" that it does when in sleep mode. It just stays lit.
Does this sound like a display problem, or some other issue? Any ideas/suggestions?
Weird. The exact same thing happened to me today. Mine is an early 08 model... Will check the link.
Edit... I was afraid that was going to be what the link said. Friggen 8600.

To the best of my knowledge, that's not how Spotlight works. It indexes on the go such that if you make a new file, save it and quit, it'll instantly be in Spotlight. It doesn't go through and reindex periodically.
More likely, they're just random computer processes that are keeping the hard drive running. I think you're right in assuming the drive is fine, but keep regular back ups all the same, irrespective of clicking noises. :)

If you don't want to deal with eBay, how come they are listed on eBay?
i'm trying to get rid of them however i can, including ebay - but every time somebody buys it on ebay, it's always from an unconfirmed address and then i have to re-list. Hence, i'd rather sell here.
phungy, can we please keep posts relevant to the sale? Please read the Marketplace rules. Thanks!

If I were an MS shareholder, I would be OUTRAGED.
How much did they pay for that? To be fair, I don't recall if MS bought just VPC or all of Connectix, but it hardly matters!
That's got to be a giant pile of shareholder wealth pissed away in a half-assed attempt at being part of (read: smothering) the increasing popularity and utility of Apple.
I would really love to see the numbers on that boondogle.
:rolleyes:
Additionally:
Yes, Parallels and VMware are better products, but that is not the point. Has no one else noticed the number of products Microsoft is canceling for the Mac. I do not believe that Microsoft sees a market for the Macintosh. This of course is purely a business perspective.
I for one think Apple will be taught a lesson in respect. The only logical solution is to kill off Mac Office universal binary support. If they want to run on the Intel platform, they can run on emulation.
It would not be much of a loss if Microsoft decided to pull the plug. Don't think they haven't taught about it. A three percent market share or 19 million desktop users does not even come close to the numbers that still use Windows 2000, never mind Windows 98. I of course don't wish this to happen, but it is one logical outcome.
I actually think that MS will eventually be taught the lesson. Unfortunately for MS, federal antitrust law states that you can't use your power in one market to gain power in a different market.
At first glance to me, killing Office for Mac is probably a violation, since I think that the operation is, in itself, profitable. After all, the "at cost" price for Mac Office that MS charges its employees (yes, they can buy it!) is $50.

Hello all,
I am trying to find a way of including graphics into TexShop (latex) document.
Used the 2 following command lines but no success:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\includegraphics[width=2in]{Weibull}
I have Image Magic and ghostcript 8 installed. Any suggestions, please?

What is the purpose of inserting the domain information? Since I'm on TW I used the domain and signup information for my TW account but wasn't sure if that was what you used for just made up your own login for the VPN.
Cablevision has a login for the iPad app to log into their network and watch LiveTV. But it looks for you to be on your home network for it to work. The VPN software requires a name and password to connect to the VPN server. That is the name and password I created in the instructions above.
i was able to pull up the channel screen, however, I can only get a couple of non-HD channel stream for about 5 secs. The app then tries to load again and eventually crashes. This was on 3g and I have not had the opportunity to try it on an external WiFi network. I'm not sure if this had to do with 3g or the upload speed from my home network. It would be great if it could stream on 3g. I checked the upload speed on my home network and I'm only getting about .50 Mbps. I'm not sure if that is sufficient to stream over 3g.
I get 6Megs upload from home. Why is your so slow? That doesn't sound right. You have TW internet?

let me start by saying that I just got my first mac ever (a new imac) last week.
last night I spend close to an hour just opening tons of different sized windows and using expose.
is this normal or is this the first sign of a mac addiction problem?
or both? :)

I use this site for my conversions.
$400 = �225
$500 = �282
So yeah, you're right.
I used the conversion widget that is included with Mac OS 10.4 and get the same thing (see, dashboard has its uses)-
$400 = �225

Hi again :)
Now I'm looking for some cases for my iPhones (3GS and 4), and I was thinking to buy these cases (Feather cases by Incipio):
http://www.myincipio.com/iPhone-4-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-iPhone-4-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
http://www.myincipio.com/iPhone-3G-3GS-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-iPhone-3G-3GS-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
But I'd like to know if these cases are really good.
I've been searching through other pages but Incipio is one of the pages who takes less for shipping them + 3GS case has 50% of discount.
Also I was thinking about buying Zagg's screen protectors for 3GS and 4.
Is this a good deal?
Thanks in advance ;)

I will try to be a little more descriptive.
The interface resembled large folders, like the ones on the finder. They were pinkish and tan-ish.
Also, there were buttons for each application on the folders. These buttons were square. Hope this helps in finding out the name.
Also I believe that its name starts with a 'P'

I mean that the iteration of Thunderbolt will hurt for me, by getting a MBA now with out it.
The HD3000 is slightly less powerful than the 320m GPU. So with a higher resolution display on the MBA the HD3000 would perform worse than the 320m currently does? This is my thinking and why I think Apple didn't increase the resolution of the current MBA instead of suffering a major decrease in GPU performance. I'm thinking that the Intel graphics performance will degrade much quicker at higher resolutions than the Nvidia does.
Only in gaming scenarios and other OpenGL applications. For the desktop, these GPUs can power massive external monitors with no problem. It's not like GPU power required to push out the kind of resolutions we're talking about here haven't been around for close to 10 years. My old Matrox G200 with 16MB of RAM could do it without flinching.
