sifu , i need some help for macbook alu. 2.0ghzhiy version. Can i upgrade the ram with kingston value ram ,and western digital 320gb 7200rpm hdd?will it compatible?newb here.

yes you can. the western digital HDD may be a bit too hot, it produces much heat.

Guys, where to buy the firewire 9-pin to 4-pin cable? Need it for my macbook pro (unibody) and DV-camera

how bout the ram? compatible also ?

To answer your question, Yes, you can put a 7200RPM into your MacBook.
It is because of the 7200RPM spindle speed of your HDD, this makes your MacBook vibrate even more than your stock HDD.
I've used a WD 320GB 7200RPM HDD and installed it into my MacBook 2.4 Alu,
I took it off because the vibration it gave out was too uncomfortable for me.
If you willing to trade the quiet-ness for speed, by all means go ahead.
Applications on a 7200RPM HDD are more snappier meaning they are more responsive.

Now, I'm using a 500GB 5400 RPM WD Scorpio Blue installed into my MacBook which is quiet and quite fast I would say and for the extra 180GB you get.

For RAM, I'm using Crucial RAM 2X2 2GB=4GB.
I'm using this since the 1st day I got my MacBook Alu from Machines as I requested for an upgrade on my RAM.

Regards.

is this suitable for you?

Apple Releases Java Updates Addressing Critical Vulnerabilities

Apple today released updated versions of its Java for OS X for both OS X 10.5 Leopard and OS X 10.4 Tiger. The updates address several vulnerabilities that could allow maliciously crafted Java applets to gain elevated privileges leading to arbitrary code execution.

The updates come less than a month after former Apple engineer Landon Fuller released a proof-of-concept exploit demonstrating the vulnerabilities in order to bring attention to the issue. While the vulnerabilities Fuller highlighted were discovered last August and patched by Sun last December, Apple had yet to address the issues in its own implementation of Java until today's releases.
