may i ask what course are u in?

eh u dont know 3 finger function? its back and forward in finder and browsers in firefox i even change 3-finger swipe up = open new tab, 3-finger swipe down = close tab, and two finger rotate to switch tabs

about ur taiwan trip, and any trip around the world: http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm

im using both seethru and palmguard. no problem

yes u should get SL. contact the shop n ask for ur copy of SL. im surprised they still have 10.5.8 macs in stock

hardware wise no difference MBP hardware didnt change since june 2009. 10.5.8 launched in aug2009

2.8 Ghz... nice

YEAH RIGHT~~~ hahahah

good idea. i remember some cases ppl get 10.5.8 installed but the DVD that came with the mac is SL

it's the one with removable battery. macbookpro 5,3

type about:config in the address bar, n click the I'll be careful button.

find browser.gesture.swipe.down, double click and enter cmd_close -> close tab

browser.gesture.swipe.down, enter cmd_newNavigatorTab -> new tab

browser.gesture.twist.left, Browser:PrevTab

browser.gesture.twist.right, Browser:NextTab

of course you're not limited to those 4...its just how i set mine up for more commands go to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:...:config_Entries

can! it's designed for those kind

usually when that happens to me, its because of unstable electricity from the power outlet. the screen suddenly become less bright for a split second because it switches to the battery for a while

touch screen tablet rumour thing everywere got maa... haha

iWork itself is a good software suite, but it doesnt play well with the more standard Office. lets say u do ur assignment in iWork, with all ur formatting and stuff... then u decide to save as .doc to submit to ur lecturer, most of the time something weird will happen. it'd be nice if everyone in the world use iWork, but they simply dont.

no need to say iWork, even Office 2008 for Mac also sometimes got problem with Office 2007 in windows.

the projector adapter thing is up to u. it's a must if u want to use Keynote for ur presentation (which u should, it's much better than powerpoint), but now i juz make my slides in simple PDF and concentrate more on my communication skills (well, lack of ;p)

YES ;p imagine having all ur important almost-done assignments, long long notes n all...then suddenly u lose it all cuz ur notebook kena virus. die lo. it's pretty common ooo

one more thing is Expose + Spaces... for me it's really2 helpful when im doing research or studying... can open as many files as possible but still have no trouble skimming over them. well windows7 has a similar feature too but i still think OSX implementation is much better

u ask here, of course we will vote for MBP!

mmmm macbook should be fine no firewire love rite?

i hate it when people juz ask like this. is it too much to describe more? 'cannot log in' can mean so many things...at what screen did u get stuck? any error messages?

wow u're lucky..(well, partially lah)

if i remember right, all macbooks/pros right now using the 'three ring type' audio jack that can support both audio in and out..this type of port is slightly loose compared to the old one. mine is loose as well, but still ok la. juz have to adjust2 my headphone a bit when using ;p

Added on December 26, 2009, 4:53 pmumm guys, i've just starting shooting RAW on my camera, and when i import them into lightroom 2.5... performance dropped a lot compared to dealing with JPEGs (of the same picture/resolution). i'm aware that RAW files contain more info n such...but do u guys suffer any substantial lag when dealing with RAW files? my specs are as below, using 9600m gt.

i hope not cuz in activity monitor still lots of free RAM

no one can say if 160gb is enough for u or not . but if u wanna upgrade, get a 2.5" SATA hdd urself at normal computer shops n upgrade yourself. very easy. same goes to RAM

but for ur usage, 2GB is fine

u forgot firewire. some people need this.

and, well, MBP looks better, for a longer time. white plastic, after a few months can get dirty hehe...
