stick on your desk or something for posterity sake

Guys, thinking of setting up a time machine for my MBP. I am thinking a 3.5" desktop external HDD. Is it I need to buy those which is Mac compatible? Ie Seagate Or you have other better recommendation?

dont buy into the gimmick mac compatible, any HDDs are mac compatible, you just need to format them into HFS+ under disk utility and thats that

But the Seagate's firewire port is very tempting.

then by all means go FW, hehe how much is it here? am looking for an ext HDD as well

seagate is not the only one who has firewire port

yes, u dun need to get "for mac" versions for it to work on a mac, but firewire800 is only available on the "for mac" models IINM

u know all the tricks on the trackpad? haha..

yea.. common sense is the best.. but if for double protection.. is the iAntiVirus good? or anyone has tried any other antivirus programs?

can anyone share what is the most accurate software for mac to measure the temperature of GPU n CPU on macbookPro?? mine temp increase when i plugged in the adapter..the increases of temp is quite high i think..is it normal? thanks.

Try smcFanControl

thanks ya..

i've tried clamxav before. dunno how to say good or not didnt detect anything haha

is there any software for mac that can detect windows virus in removable drive as well?

I was reading in google ...the virus on window can't be detect on mac and runs on it.. We know that most are exe file.. So that's the reason it don't work..but to detect...hmm..let me google it again.. Anyway there are kaspersky for mac too..i'm not that can detect or not.

Posting from my 15" MBP Core i7...

anyone experience smackbook?? i've mine..really interesting..should try..

is this a stock unit? hmm lol dont think u went for the higher end display or the 7200rpm HDD

Have you guys encountered this?

When you install an app, let's say MSN, at the Applications Folder, i dont see a proper icon for MSN. (Not in finder view, it's from the Apps folder in the Dock)

i have to go to finder, drag the msn out to the desktop and put it back into the Apps folder (thru Finder), only then i will see a proper icon from Apps launch from the dock

edit: last time i dont need to restart for it to show the icon. After i reformatted the Mac yesterday, this thing started to happened. VLC, MSN, Text Wrangler, etc

can't wait for weeks on CTO, so i went stock... later can upgrade hdd, maybe seagate momentus xt at least ...

as for hi-res, i don't feel i need it since i'll be connecting it to a 24" dell... but i did regret not getting the 17" at times... anyone with a 17" Core i5/i7 wanna trade with my 15"...?
