That's because the battery calibration was done by Apple before sending it to you. Macbooks can be taken out and used out of the box.

I'm not aware of the existence of such cables. Apple only has VGA and DVI adapters for their mini-display port.

Got the same message. Since you've confirmed the transaction with your bank, all you need to do is call up Apple using the number provided in the email, give them the order number and they'll get it done.

I agree with the other points except this. All your registration, preinstalls and ACPP require Apple staff to open the unit anyway.

Oh and to add: local stores still have to go through the online store for built-to-order units.

You can compare the edu store prices with the regular Apple Online store to figure out how much you'll be saving.

You need to backup all your data to an external harddisk yesterday - unless you added some significant data today, then you'll have to backup today too.

As stated above, contact Apple Care and arrange for a repair.

That sounds more like a typical day with Flash player on even the best setups. Sad but true.

You can install Windows on the Mac and run it via Parallel or VMware while running OSX. Otherwise, you can run Bootcamp and boot natively into Windows without starting OSX. You can play Windows games without too much trouble, just remember to updated the graphics drivers.

These are the recommended system setup for Warcraft 3:

600 MHz processor
256 MB of RAM
32 MB 3D video card

To answer the original question, it's possible to run most of the newer games via bootcamping into Windows 7, as demonstrated by various sources that have run Crysis on the Macbook Pro 2009 models (Youtube example). Since Steam is now natively on the Mac OSX, we'll be seeing an increase of current gen games, however thanks to Window's proprietary DirectX feature, it'll be some time before we a comparable performance on the OSX (or Linux).

As far as I know you use it for iChat and the Apple Online Store. And MobileMe too, me thinks...

Rosetta is a compatibility software that allows OSX to run programs that are written for the PowerPC Macs.

Take note that it's RM324 on top of the MBW's price to bump it up to 4GB RAM. Unless you think can live on 2GB alone, the MBP is still the better deal.

Portal. You have 5 more days to download it for free.

Playing Torchlight on and off, myself.

There... are PC game stores in 1U? o_O
All I know is that Diablo 2 and the Diablo warchest is Mac + PC compatible. And my bro bought a MacPlay Fallout on eBay years back.

My only experiences (3) with kernel panic is when OSX doesn't even get past the startup screen. You didn't mention what happened after you restarted.

You can get the Magic Mouse driver for Windows 7 here.

Did you buy from the Malaysian Apple Online Store?

Considering that this offer is for colleges - which is what Americans call universities - it's not that big a problem. I think. It's just a matter of registering local universities into a database and have some sort of identity verification.

If you've recently downloaded a free screensaver from 7art, take note of the following article.

After you're done removing the spyware, please sit in a secluded corner with the 'Dunce' hat and think of what you've done.

Modern chargers, laptops or otherwise do not "overcharge" anymore.


The best anti-spyware is still common sense. To educate and improve said sense, please read McAfee's article, "Most Dangerous Search Terms". ZDnet has a summary of the research.

Did you call Apple Care support? Or posted on the Apple Support discussion page?

Got something cute from Apple yesterday. XD

This was for my recently-purchased 13" MBP. And of course it came with the ugly SIRIM sticker. It'll be a cold day in hell when I care to bring that anywhere near my Precious.
