SSD on Mac OS X ..!!

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/apple/201...e-trim-in-osx/1

"It's very, very curious and absolutely not what we expected. While we know SSD performance is affected by the OS - after all, you need Windows 7 for TRIM support - but for OS X not to suffer from performance degradation when it's using an SSD seeming stunning to the point of being difficult to believe. "

I've an old MBP, 4 years old .. 2.16 GHz with 3 GB RAM.. and I believe my MBP can last for another 2-3 years down the road

I've never trust any anti-virus on Mac .. none that work and none is needed. Probably its a third party advert .. get yourself an adsblock for safari or any of your favourite browsers and forget about those silly ads ..

What did you bought from her? The HD or the notebook? If it is still under warranty, might as well just go ahead asking them to fix it.. if it is HD problem, it is faster if you brought you own HD, ask them to swap it.. just like what I did.. bad thing about Apple support centres here .. they don't stock up anything .. so everything will take a week to get resolved.

I hate Seagate, the one that failed on my 8 months old MBP was Seagate Momentus (not the XT) .. Apple replaced it with Hitachi now.

Earliest will be I believe in April ..

Yes you can use the adapter (check the range of voltage printed on the adapter) but you need to change the 2-pin to 3-pin at the head (which is replaceable), I guess US adapter comes with this as an extension. But wait, that'll be no point since I believe the earthing is not connected to anything and the 'shock' or tingling is due to that.

Check this knowledgebase and see if this resolve the problem (go to the two-three-prongs part):

Elevator? You mean riser? I'm using those chepo notebook cooler, got it free when my sister bought a notebook during pcfair years ago. Can't recommend any, but you could buy any of those coolers .. or just riser (Logitech has few nice one..)

You haven't come across my posting before I guess on the same exact model with failed HD.. anyway, if you've extra dough, just got yourself the Hitachi drive and replace the low grade Seagate HD that they put into the MBP mid2010 release. You can ask the service centre to do this for you while waiting for the new HD to arrive .. and when it arrives, just shove it into an external casing and make it as your time machine backup BTW, Apple gave me Hitachi HD as a replacement .. so, I guess they know the problem with the Seagate batch.

It took them a week to wait for my HD replacement from Singapore + raya haji holidays for additional few days. So if you can't wait, buy yourself a Hitachi 7200rpm and ask them to put them in first. This will not void any warranty, took them just 15 minutes to put my new HD and when they got my replacement, they called me to pick it up.

But, if you can live with booting from external drive via USB while waiting for the replacement, I guess that should be okay. The only thing I hate about owning Apple products is, whatever fault diagnosed, it will take at least 5 working days to get the fault resolved .. grrr...

From my previous experience with Apple/DHL, the acronym DHL still stands as Dua Hari Lambat..! And no, they don't do Saturday delivery..

1st March? Ouch.. haven't accumulate enough dough to get one.. will see if my plastic card is enough to cover it ...

majority will accept paypal .. and you can use your debit card to link to your paypal account.

Yes .. paypal will do a currency conversion and charge you based on RM.

Did you guys read this?

I'll wait for it .. The find my mobile part is now free..

What I did last time was .. use my wife's iphone4 to register my mobile.me account .. and then, use the account on my 3GS .. works perfectly Ouch.. way too far, we're discussing iphone & mobile.me here now

Use a contact cleaner.. sprayable, can be found at local hardware shop or Ace Hardware. Don't spray it direct to the contact point though, probably use a cloth, spray the contact cleaner to the cloth and rub it over the contact on the macbook side. Do the same on the charger side too..
