I like the screen width of the 17 " MBP for when I split the screen under the terminal app in command line Unix work. Since I'm older and my eyes aren't what they used to be, I really like having the ability to use larger font sizes and still have…

I've been using a 17" MBP with the NVIDIA 9600/9400 GPUs since early 2009 and have been considering getting another 17" MBP when the Ivy Bridge models come out later this year. I like the proposed changes, such as elimination of the optical drive an…

I've just installed 10.6.5 via the Software Update installer and have had no problems. The system is functioning smoothly. This is about a 517 MB download.

Yeah, but somehow I don't think that he's going to be scrounging for food at the local Hare Krishna temple any time soon.

If, as Ballmer has stated, Apple is a statistically insignificant "rounding error" in its competition against M$, why is M$ spending so much effort and money on its pro-M$/anti-Apple media campaign? Why can't M$'s products essentially sell themse…

I've been an AT&T Wireless customer since 2002, first with Sony Ericksson phones and Motorola phones after that. Coverage has always been very good and general network performance has been good until the last couple of years; RF performance a…

Don't forget to include the cost of maintenance utilities, such as a good disk defragmenter and registry cleaner, to keep your Windoze system's performance up to snuff.

I finally got 10.5.7 installed by using the combo version; the software update gave me the slow DL speeds, the DL abort and the digital signatures error message. The installation was kind of dodgy, with apparent boot hanging and repeated software at…

I'm not able to download the update, as I get an error message about 2MB into the DL about a corrupted digital signature and the fact that it can't be saved. I have 10.5.6 that has been running fine with no problems so far. I was also getting a repo…

Somebody I know who has a MBP has warned me that this would happen to my MBP's PS, as it has happened to him a couple of times already. It does look to me as if the plastic sheath is suffering stress fatigue from repeated flexing of a small-radius b…
