You already asked about heat issues in another thread (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1145803) and were told that you don't have heat issues. Your MBP is working as designed. You don't need to do anything to your thermal paste.

Does anyone know where I can buy the Speck see thru satin in Canada? Shipping from the speck site is $14.85.. :eek:
No but try amazon, ebay, target maybe? and I heard Microcenters have them too if you have that there.

I'm working on a project now that is insalling computers that use a fingerprint reader for user login. It's pretty simple stuff at this point, and works pretty well. (I can't for the life of me remember who makes the software we are using)... Some people's fingers don't work well with it, though. If you worked on a farm at some point, or worked with a lot of hard cleaning chemicals there's a good chance it won't recognize your print.
I have read some articles that some grocery store chain down south is installing fingerprint readers at the checkout and you can pay for your groceries by registering you print and checking account with the store and then just pressing your finger to the reader. That's it, no paper, no signitures, no cards. Just finger on, here's your reciept.
I like it. Some privacy advocates don't like it, but I for one am more paranoid about giving out my SSN. If someone wants your print they could get it from the keyboard you type your password/pin in. You can't lose your finger print, or have it stolen (without knowing it's missing right away). These devices are already pretty good at ignoring 'fakes', and I've seen some that have hea sensors to make sure the 'finger' being read is warm enough to be a persons.
Anyways, in my experience with them they are alright. I would like to have one at home that I could use for my passwords at websites and such. Have my password be a random series of characters and have the reader insert it only after verifying my finger. Would work nice. Same for the ATM... no mor lost cards or trying to keep the guy behind me from seeing my PIN...

I was gonna say you'd be a pretty sad bastard to go for a shirt only, but I'm sure if your buying something else and explain your situation, they'll oblige you.
What a spoiled sport. :p
It's a launch party for goodness sake. Do people NEED to buy something to visit and get a free shirt? It's all about the fun. I already ordered my copy of Leopard but it hasn't delivered yet so I went to the launch event to go check out Leopard in person and I'm glad I did. It was so much fun, it's was like being at a party. There were plenty and I mean plenty of shirts so I hung out for 3 hours and picked up my shirt on the way out. Will go to the next launch party whether buying or not. :D

It really, really depends on what your platform and application is. NO ONE can give you good advise without knowing those two things. You probably want a consultant to help you design this properly if you aren't an expert.

Pretty sure they cannot play MP3 CDs. I don't even think the MP3 CD format existed when the PS2 came out (MP3 files existed, but no one had yet thought of making a CD player capable of playing them directly).

Wow - Godfather is great.
I played it solidly from 11am on Saturday until 2am on Sunday, hardly pausing for food even. Why would anyone want to play GTA when you can play something similar with a much better plot and characters?
Because GTA is a much better game (better character development & customisation, better fighting, better weapons, better vehicles, better steering controls, richer gameplay etc.) in a much richer, more varied and larger setting, with an 'original' plot with lots of side plots.

So is anyone else using the beta besides me? It seems to run ok. Still needs work, for example it does not use all more cores to %100. It also uses ALOT of ram. Around 50 mb per core times 4. and thats real ram not including virtual. That alot of ram when you only have a GB. :(
I fold with Team MacOS X.
Would you be interested in switching? You user points stay with your.....besides macrumors is such a better team, we may not have as much output but we have GREAT forums that can't be beat.:D

I'll try to explain this as best I can;
I have a web page produced in Dreamweaver made up of 6 different jpegs.
Along the top is a row of four jpegs, all next to each other which form a menu. They are are set up as rollovers so the text 'glows' when you roll over them.
Under these is a full width jpeg on which is shown an image and some accompanying copy
Under this is a final full width jpeg which acts as a footer - it has a logo on it.
Each of these images has originally been created as a layered Photoshop file. On each of the six files, the bottom layer is the same solid blue. Dreamweaver is set up to have a page background of exactly the same blue so that background colour fills the whole screen.
The problem is, that when these images are converted to jpegs, the background blue is not consistent. On the rollovers, the blue changes further when it's activated. So in essence, you can see where each jpeg finished and the next one ends.
I've tried doing a straight 'save as', and a 'save for web and devices'; nothing seems to work. At the same time, I'm trying to keep the file sizes down as much as possible, but it's just not working out.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

One thing to be leery of is, yes keep your original ram and if you bring it in for Applecare, make sure to put the original ram back in laptop.
What often happens is the person servicing your laptop will restore it to original specs. So if you machine is a 4GB machine, they might take out your 8GB trash it and put in their 4GB so it matches the computer build. I've read many stories on these forums of people losing their expensive harddrive or ram and got back stock items.

Strange. SL works on all my stuff without ever crashing, including my Hackintosh.
Me too, it works on my hackintosh. Yet with that said, I'd say that SL was not one of apple's greatest OS upates. I did have more issues initially with this then prior versions and had to hold off longer because of those problems then other versions of OSX.
While its been clearly documented that apple did a lot of under the hood type stuff. SL offered very little for the consumer. i think apple knew this when thy priced it much less then prior versions. 25 bucks vs. 125.

Hi all,
Basically I'm in a little situation and I'd like to know what you guys think is the best course of action.
So this deal was done off ebay, but I talked to the member on ebay. It just wasn't bought with Paypal and isn't going through an item listing. It sounds completely unsafe and dodgey but it hasn't proved to be all bad news.
It started off he offered to do it $650 for 32gb iPhone 4 sealed & unused. I said okay, can I do that Paypal? He said no because the fees would be too high, like $40 on an item that expensive?
Then I said, okay, can you make an item listing for it at least so we can feedback each other also? He declined that too and said the fees for the listing would be a lot.
He said bank deposit only for that price. I declined and said sorry this isn't a safe enough method. He offers COD (Cash on delivery). I accepted that but what I didn't realize is you can't even check what's being posted to you first, you have to pay first.
Either that's the case everywhere or the guy at my post office is a twat.
So I'm standing there when it arrives and I said do you mind if I check it's what I ordered? He said I can't, I have to pay first. So on the spot, I did.
I open it up, it's a brand new condition but slightly used iPhone 4 16gb. Not sealed, not entirely new and the wrong capacity.
But, its a genuine iPhone 4 16gb and it works perfectly.
Now I STILL have it.
I contacted him and he said he is sorry for the mistake and one of his friends or ebay helpers (or something, I don't really know) packed it and got it wrong. He said send it back and he will send me the 32g.
I told him, nothing personal but I want some form of protection too. If I send it and don't hear from you again, I have no way of getting back my $650. I asked that he send the 32g first.
Obviously, he declined and said I had to return the other one first. He said why would I doubt him, he already sent this one. I do agree there.
So I have a few options now. I can send it back express, and hope it all goes fine. If I do that I'll get it back sooner as he said he'd post it express back. If he takes my money and runs, that's pretty much the end BUT I do have his and his companions full name if I can take legal action with a private sale?
The other option is I have a friend in SA, where he is. She's agreed to help me if I go ahead with this idea. The plan would be to post the 16g to her, and she would meet with him on the 11th May to do an exchange in person. She'd then send the new 32g back to me. And I've known her my entire life so that plan is sound, bar one thing.
If for some reason they can't get in contact on the 11th, it will waste a lot of time.
I don't want to waste any more time because I'm over doing things like this when I need to be doing other things.
Keeping in mind, he has my $650 right now because to receive this 16g I have to pay the cash on delivery.
Your thoughts on the situation?
