"countries with the most capable wireless networks, like the United States" Is this a joke? Seriously, I know that in regards to mobile telephony, AI is oblivious to where the rest of the world (you know, those countries outside the US) stands, b…

As opposed to what, an Itanium-native one that OS X currently has? What do you mean exactly?

SecureTalk: Looks like someone forgot to update the standard disclaimer. CoolHandPete: Sony's Vaio TX series have LED displays twice as thin as Apple's MBPs. Guartho: Power consumption of a 15" notebook LCD display on full brightness should be…

1) As far as learning tools are concerned, I recommend books. You get Xcode for free with every OS X copy and even non-paying ADC members can download Xcode updates. 5) Try Parallels, it's ready and works like a charm. 6) I'd say get Lightr…

Yes, it does. The smaller screen size also adds up.

Well, yes, I did reset the PMU (though I have no idea how that was supposed to help, this seems the same kind of voodoo as the permission repair thing) and the problem still persists. It's not immediate though, it takes a couple of days of uptime fo…

This is stupid. There is no way for a power adapter to magically circumvent the power circuit, and there are no separate power sockets labeled 'battery charge' and 'AC only' in any laptop. It's always the laptop's embedded controller that decides…

Well, the Intel datasheet (30921902.pdf) is clear: both 945GM and PM support up to 4 GB, while 945GMS and GMT only 2 GB (though the latter are not used in Macs to my best knowledge). Fun fact: all mobile Core 2 Duo (Merom) machines are based on i…
