Crefigz, you just type : Bootcamp Assistant on your spotlight. And just follow the on-screen instructions. That is how they present bootcamp on the Mac, its easy as ABC.

anybody with MBW (late 2007) encounters where once Safari is opened, the "Safari Flash plug-in" will boost up CPU usage like hell near 100% or sometimes more than that. This will cause temperature heats up terribly too.

OS : Snow Leopard 10.6.1
Flash : latest version

Any ideas guys ? rclxub.gif

for the new imac - 16:9.. okay... but others seems no special for me....
for the new macbook white - its abit too round and i kinda like the bottom thinggie which i forget what isit... the others is okay okay....

for the new mouse - i'm in love with it!

Well you're kinda right because it looks like the same thing but only thinner and sleeker. Not revolutionary. But I'm disappointed that there's no 24" entry level. The good news is that the entry levels which used to start at 20" are now upgraded to 21.5" 16:9 ratios 1080p screen with very good specifications for a start. One up the price, you get dedicated graphics, bigger capacity HDD, etc. So its cheaper for the specifications you're getting. But there's no Core i5/7 unless we go high-end (which spells pricey). Apple seriously need to consider waiting for the latest generation ATI cards like the HD5770 cause 4670 is a little too late now. Well maybe its cheaper that way... since 4670 has gone OEM now.

Regarding the MacBook White, I think we see it coming already. We knew its gonna be plastic and it should have all the standard unibody design language. What amaze me is that they put in the exact same specifications of the entry level 13 into it complete with a multi-touch pad! Thats enticing! Damn... choosing between MBP 13 and the new white is hard now.

HP finally success to clone a mac copy. They even copy exactly the same ideas of mac. Unibody + buttonless trackpad. But the hp looks so ugly i must say. google for "HP Envy". The single price is around 1.7k USD, for me i would rather spend at a macbook =D

Yeah it has been all over the internet for some months now. People has been criticizing it for making a copy (or a KIRF) and abandoning the 'VoodooPC' styling. HP's high-end niche has always been Rahul Sood's masterpieces. But the PC community deserves to have the MBP/Air of their own. Just at what cost? Apple has been doing the MBP 13 pretty cheap now. Wonder how much an Envy 13 would cost?

Since two of our members had their macbook pro's stolen recently, and questions arising on whether we could track out stolen macs, I thought it'd repost my answer to that thread here:

If you're looking for some sort of tracking...
the answer is Orbicule's Undercover.
Their website explains everything: http://www.orbicule.com/undercover/
give it a read.

I got this for my 13" MBP the moment i got it.
But for maximum protection, it doesn't stop there.
I enabled the firmware protection, which requires a password to enter the boot menu so you can't reformat or even boot from a different partition. I don't know what happens if you change the hard disk though but I think it won't even allow the new hard disk to be used?
I enabled the option in the security preference pane to "request password 5 mins after sleep or screen saver begins". Of course that means u should have a login password.
Since the Undercover software works by tracking the user while online, I need to enable the thief to be able to use my mac. So I enable fast user switching and created another Standard Account (NOT admin) for the thief to use which doesn't have a login password. I also locked down my personal folders/home folder and can only be accessed by me. So in the event my mac gets stolen, the thief has no choice but to use the Standard Account I created and can do pretty much any basic thing except anything that requires admin access. He can't access my folders but he can use every bit of the remaining available space for his own use.
Then hopefully, in due time, I will be able to track that bugger down. And hopefully he/she ain't a tech geek.

=/ if I hadnt bbought my mbp. I would have go for this new macbook pro +_+ since it also has multi touch.

Im curious why apple made this decision to include multi touch to mac book. wouldnt this lower the sale of mbp ? I always though multi touch is something only mbp should have in order to differentiate it from normal mac book.

sigh -.- now I dont feel good after paying extra 1500++ just for better processor, SD slot and firewire slot.

there are other plus point like dedicated graphic, better aluminium build, firewire, etc that will boost the sales of mbp smile.gif

Multitouch is not something exclusive. Apple find it so helpful in increasing usability it also included it on imac line smile.gif
