If you just bought a new iMac will apple give you the new lion free or with a discount?
I know in 2009 I bought a MBP about a month or two prior to Snow Leopard, Apple gave everyone who bought a Mac within a certain time frame, an upgrade disk for only $10 (67% off). I was one of the lucky ones.

I have the Very Busy Man, although I've since found I prefer McBain's Lovechild (another Crumpler bag). The VBM is very large - the laptop pouch alone is likely big enough to hold a 17" Powerbook (I've got a 15" PB).
The problem I found with having a big bag is that I found myself carrying too much unnecessary junk around just because I could, which of course meant an unnecessarilly heavy load. I'm much happier with the McBains because it forces me to think about what I really need to bring along and what I can do without.
However if you actually need all that stuff, then the VBM is a great bag. Crumpler bags all seem to be very well constructed, very protective of your computer, and they look cool to boot.
In the US there are resellers such as ebags.com (http://www.ebags.com) and bagyou.com (http://www.bagyou.com) - they tend to be cheaper than Crumpler's USA prices. I've bought from both, and am a happy customer.
Edit: My good experiences with Crumpler computer bags convinced me to try out one of their camera bags when I was in the market for a new one. I must say I love my Budgie Smuggler - it's as well made and well thought out as their computer bags.

I've been trying to split them up, so there's not just a solid front page of "ween" or "kenny chesney" or "the dixie chicks" or whatever - trying to get kind-of a cross-section of music at a time. And the way I see it, you should suggest the best song or two off an album, and if you want the whole album suggested, do that in the comments section of the first track you recommend. That way it's like a lead-in for people who like similar music and want to know more about this particular band.
I've been trying to remember to go back, but sometime I forget... :) I'll try and make a sweep over them again before too long. :D

Thanks for your replys.. at nearly �100 for that Dr Bott one, i think i'll give it a miss.
I'll just buy a cheap one just for monitor switching.. i got a ps/2 keyboard and a cheap usb keyboard that i can leave plugged into PC/mini mac. And i'll just swap my m$ optical mouse over :)
its just becoming a pain in the arse swapping the monitor over everytime i wanna play a game or jam in Reason!

It's way different from an Incase Snap.
The Seethru satin definitely gives more protection, I have the satin snap and the seethru satin. I really love the protection that the Seethru offers. It has a lay on the table design, and it's like a low end version of the candy shelll.
It's not all that bulky. :)

Hello-
I recently sold my old 2.4GHz i5 15" 2010 MacBook Pro on ebay.
The buyer claims he is not satisfied, and wants a return, as it is a "core 2 duo" machine and does not have multiple cores... What I sent him was exactly what I described, a core i5 machine from 2010...
What do you advise I do? I've already sent off an email saying to go and check About This Mac and the sort. I really have no clue what to do at this point.
Thanks!

Ok guys I just found this glitch within iREB to downgrade your ipod touch or iphone. I was trying to load up custom firmware to my ipod touch 2nd gen and I got stuck with a black screen, and I start to fiddle with itunes and ireb. Downgraded my 2nd generation ipod touch from 4.2.1 to 2.1.1 (the very first firmware for this model). Below ive put the instructions on how I did this. (Ive only tested this on my ipod, but it should work on anything that iREB can support.
iREB is not available for Mac users as of yet, will update if changes occur.
1)First you will need to change your hosts
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and locate “hosts” file.
Open this “hosts” file in Notepad and add this "74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com at the bottom of the note".
Credits to Komentra for the reply
2) Download iREB V4.0.x/4.1:
http://ih8sn0w.com/index.php/products/view/ireb.snow
3) Download the ipod firmware that you wish to downgrade to. (unless a new version of iREB is released, anything above 4.2.1 wont work. (I KNOW IT SAYS V4.0.x/4.1 BUT THATS PART OF THE GLITCH)
Download Firmware Here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
4) Plug in your iPod/iPhone and load up iREB.
5) Select your device from the menu.
6) Wait for iREB to put your device into its SPECIAL dfu mode. (not the normal one)
7) Now, open iTunes and wait for your iPod to come up, now heres where I was experimenting.
8) put your ipod into dfu mode (I know what your thinking "oh this guy is an idiot, he doesnt know what hes doing" well this where stuff gets interesting. You cant see whats going on the ipod but wait for those USB chimes so you will know what to press and when. - Hold both the power and home button at the same time untill you hear a usb sound from your computer. When that sound comes let go of the power button and keep holding the home button and wait for the second usb sound. -
9) Hold shift and click restore in itunes and find your old firmware (ie. 2.1.1)
10) AND YOUR DONE!
I know what your thinking again (im a mind reader) WHY WOULD YOU WANNA DO THIS? well for me, iOS 4.2.1 is a load of bull for me, it goes way too slow and jailbreaking it makes it even worse. and pretty much all I do on my ipod is listen to music and nothin else, no lies. Seriously, and if you need to downgrade for a practical reason, then why not.
This should work on any OLD firmware that is older then your current one. (again ive only tested this on 4.2.1)
Hope this helped.

I'm sorry to hear that - but at least you get (hopefully) a good price. However, it is possible to replace the internal drive - although that's a tedious task. Your best bets are:
(1) Just buy online and pay full retail but get the system you want.
(2) Buy a 14" iBook, which comes with the 60GB drive (and DVD burner).
(3) Buy the iBook you mentioned, and spend ~$120 or so on an external portable drive like a LaCie 40GB (or spend more on a larger drive).
Best of luck, any way you decide.

I removed my Samsung 470 SSD from an HP laptop that had Win 7 running. Trim was enabled automatically with Win 7. When I put it into my new Macbook Pro trim was not enabled. You can check by going into the Apple, then About, then More Info and finally into Serial ATA. When you scroll down you will see that trim is not enabled.( Without it, the SSD will fill up and slow down. Google it and see what it does). Groths.org had a Trim Enabler patch that worked perfectly. I downloaded it and clicked on it and it installed. When I went back into the Apple, etc I found that trim had been enabled. Kudos to Oskar. I dropped a couple of bucks on him from Paypal because I appreciate this kind of work. Maybe Apple will have trim enabled in the next OS, like Win7.
trim is only supported on SSD's that you buy from apple, and only recently.
As the other poster said, there haven't been problems with people running 3rd party SSD's w/o trim enabled. In fact some users have reported problems with their drives after enabling trim support.
If you really feel you must have it, search the boards, there is a tutorial here on how to enable it through some simple command lines.

I've been using Keynote lately for work presentations. It's annoying not to be able to give them to PC co-workers. PPT such a piece of crap, and i'd like to be able to use keynote more, but sadly it's not super useful anywhere other than my computer.
My first post here!
I use Keynote to create presentations for other users on our otherwise Windoze network. I tried exporting to Flash, but most of the nice looking stuff gets replaced by dissolves. I now export to Quicktime using custom settings depending on application. You still get the basic interactivity- and the good looks. (PPT users are still doing their red on blue ghastly designs with slide in/out transitions!)
