If you are into unrestricted conrol then your best bet is Unix/Linux - and OS X is a member of that family.
Windows will probably be able to run on the upcoming Intel-based Macs, although if you are planning on buying a Mac just to run Windows on it I think you need to re-examine your priorities - you'd be much better of building yourself a PC.

Hi all,
I have a mid-2009 15� MBP. Last year I upgraded my 500GB HDD with a 160GB SSD. Overall I love the results and believe it�s one of the best hardware upgrades I have made in recent years.
However, 160GB quickly becomes difficult to work with (especially with multiple VMs) so I am keen to look for another internal storage solution.
This is where OptiBay comes in. Allowing me to remove my optical drive (which I never use) and add an additional HDD.
I am keen to understand if anyone has any experience with OptiBay? Any issues or things I should know about?
My other problem is which one to buy? There are loads on eBay, but I worry about quality. So I have narrowed my search to:
MCE OptiBay (http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/) for $99 or iFixit OptiBay (http://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/9-5-mm-SATA-Optical-Bay-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/IF107-080) for $59.95?
Any thoughts? I consider iFixit to be a reparable company and it�s cheaper, but I don't want to drop quality.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Lots of choices.......

here are some pics:
more avalible upon request...
the processor is celeron.
the computer does come with a working battery that holds 46 min. of charge as well, as an extra battary cover, a phone cord, and ethernet cord, the power adapter, an external mouse., and if I can find it, a copy of windows ME will also be included. This computer has been very well taken care of by me, but I switched to mac, so I don't need this anymore :)
:eek: Windows Me! *cries in the corner*

one thing in lion that will not get used for me is the launchpad. damn on my 27" ACD it's so big. i remember all of my installed apps and prefer to use spotlight for easy way to launch them.
I totally agree. Launchpad should run in a window. Spotlight is still the way to go for power users. Of course,normal people will like the launchpad.

There is no way to change the graphics chip on ANY iMac. They are all soldered to the logic board.
More RAM + faster harddrive is about all you can do.

It works! Thanks man! You're a life saver! I didn't think it was possible, but was just trying my luck here. You're awesome! :D
Lol you're welcome. :). That had been at the back of my mind for awhile, and hearing someone else that was annoyed with it gave me an excuse to look.

Consumer services don't work well as a real CDN. Here are some suggestions:
VPS (http://www.vps.net/?r=rErb) (UK company)
Amazon cloud s3 (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/)
Rackspace (http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/files/)
I vote RS.
After amazon's latest flubs and being hacked w/ wikileaks, I'd be hesitant to rely on them right about now.

If you've got the matter/silver ones, then you'll just need a miniDisplayPort to DVI adapter as well as an HDMI male to DVI female adapter

The iMac is a better buy if you are intending to replace your keyboard and considering upgrading your monitor.
Unless of course you don't want to forced to have a glossy/glass screen.

Hi all,
Just curious to see how many have a apple laptop and and Ipad. Work just bought me a MBP last week and I already have a Ipad 2. Just trying to justify the two, maybe I sell the ipad 2 because I have to keep the laptop. By the way, I love both of them...I use the Ipad 2 for reading books, magazines etc...
Thanks for the comments or thoughts...
well i have a 15" pro... had an ipad 1, then got the ipad 2. I honestly wasn't using it that much... between having an iphone and a mbp, it just never saw that much use so i gave it to my grandma.
Now i'm considering trading in my mbp and getting a new imac and a macbook air... love the small size and portability and i honestly don't need that much power on the road so i'm thinking the mba will be awesome as a portable and have the power of the imac at home!
Hope that gives you some insight, but remember everyone has different needs!

Hi,
Has anyone been able to force an apple store to guarantee a Lion O/S upgrade for free with the purchase of a Macbook pro now?
Just curious.
Thanks!
Usually the Up-to-Date programs start on the day the announce the release date (or announce something more specific than "summer"--like a month) and end a few months after the release.
The Snow Leopard UTD lasted from June 8 to December 29.

There's no way to protect images/pdf's etc as they should be read by the operating system and the programs.
It's fairly easy to protect a cd when it's accessed by a written program, for example with games where the loader takes care of the copy protection.
For example when someone has opened the PDF how will you prohibit that people cut-n-paste it?
I know I was not giving you a hint here about software, just outlining the problems you might get.

Previous keynotes have been made available as free podcasts via iTunes, so unless they are planning the Beatles to reunite (including George and John) I predict that this year's will also be free.

Would it be possible to use a cookie to remember my choice of ordering my song list? i.e. if I choose to order by Genre, then the next time I view my list, it should remember to order the songs by Genre, and not the default Ranking.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don't know; at the 1st installation (10.3 + 10.3.7 combo + 10.3.8 patch + applications), everything was working untill I red my emails and tried to save as .pdf and try to print a popup of this web page; http://store.dxo.com/login.asp?LID=2.
For the 2nd installation, I did (10.3 + 10.3.7 combo + 10.3.8 patch) but in safe boot mode. So I don't know...
Now I'm still working in safe boot mode.

OK, so I'm going into "worst case scenario" mode here. Probably the primary thing holding me back on the current revision of the 15" PowerBook is that it has the slower AirPort built in, instead of the AirPort Extreme. Assuming that MWNY comes and goes without an announcement about some kind of update for the TiBook, is there any way to upgrade it to AirPort Extreme?

Lookup your candidates in the reliability survey.
Yeah I have. The WD seems decent but noisy. Can't track the Maxtor down though.
I'll keep looking.
