you can burn at any speed at or below the rating of the disc and burner, thus a 4x RW disc can be burned at 1x, 2x, and 4x speeds as long as your burner supports those speeds.

a mini display port to hdmi female dongle. apple doesnt make one, but you can get a high quality one from moshimonde.com or griffintechnology.com

IIRC, any Apple Store will refurbish a MacBook for $300 as long as parts are still available. contact your local Apple Store and see what the deal is. i believe they refer to it as "Out Of Warranty Refurbish"

the stuttering issues you refer to are based on the first-gen SSDs from a couple of years back that used a very poor quality, cacheless memory controller. because they had no cache, they were unable to perform concurrent operations as well as being …

iirc, using multiple bands on a router wont slow it down to the slowest spec band running, but it will slow it down as the antennas usually reserved to run as MIMO to provide the highest throughput are forced to run separately. the latest routers…

it's also referred to as "Garbage Collection" but either way, as i said previously, TRIM is used to zero out cells that have been written to and flagged as "writeable," but not zeroed out, preventing the occurrence of having to write twice to a c…

how about not dealing with that employee or location anymore? unless it's an issue dealing directly with sex, creed, religion, or color when dealing with customers, you really dont have any recourse against them beyond complaining to their superv…

yes, but unlike USB drives, they have built-in memory controllers to direct data to cells in the most efficient way possible and slow the eventual degradation of individual cells called wear-leveling. plus, some operating systems or software built i…

if a restore didnt help, then it sounds like a hardware problem. the antenna lead may have simply come off the board. if you're handy with miniature electronics (i'm asian, so i'm good with small things. *rimshot*) you can always take it apart and a…

may as well wait for iphone 6, since you're waiting. the thought behind my comment is that the pace of upgrades is not going to slow, if anything it will only speed up and no matter when you buy in, something else better will come along within th…

if you have the bandwidth to send randomized noise that attempts to "motion-blur the eff out of compression artifacts," why not just encode the original file with less compression, thus more effectively utilizing the bandwidth?

yet no one has mentoned the discrepancy in the desktop wallpaper. but it very likely could be a case of 10.5.7 being installed on that mini and he'd have to use his install disc to upgrade immediately... which is sorta unlike apple.
