    Air Toshiba vs Samsung SSD, Real issue?

    I'm sure y'all have seen the flames all over the web and even Anand's review on the new MacBook Air's and how they randomly ship with Samsung SSDs or slower Toshiba SSDs. Do y'all think this translates to ANY real world performance difference? It's hard sifting through all the sites and articles...

    Making a backup of Lion on USB

    Does anyone know of a way we can backup/burn Lion on a NEW MacBook Pro/Air/etc. that comes with Lion preinstalled? Since you aren't downloading it from the app store I am not sure the USB trick would work on a brand new machine.

    Lion and Apple Keyboards?

    Does anyone know if Apple is updating its wired and wireless keyboards for the launch of Lion? If you look at the MacBook Air you see the f3 f4 and eject keys are different. I just bought a keyboard 10 days ago (wired) and I am trying to figure out if I should exchange it for the new one...

    Thoughts on these two monitors?

    I'm building a gaming rig and trying to find a good monitor for gaming and also for web surfing/using Word (it will be hooked into my new MacBook Air and the gaming rig). Do the exeprts of Anandtech have any thoughts on the difference between these two HP monitors. It seems weird that the...

    5ms too much to keep a monitor from ghosting?

    I am looking for a 23" or 27" monitor with LED backlight (I love the brightness). Since there are no S-IPS monitors with LED that are reasonable in that range (minus the Apple Cinema Display, which is kind of expensive) I have been looking at TN+ or E-IPS. I found this HP which has decent...

    Logic Board Replaces b/c of 8600

    I just got my early 08 MBP logic board replaced because of the faulty 8600 issue at the apple store (what an ordeal that was). Do I need to do anything like format and restore from my TC backup or do a fresh format or anything since its new hardware? When I turned on the mac it said my...

    Dead Space for PC

    iPhone Starter Guide??

    So I just got a new iPhone 3G 16GB for Christmas and I love it so far! Are there any good starting points or resources on this forum on the web for new users? Are there things I should do before I really start using it? Do the 3Gs scratch easy? I didn't want to get a case but if they...

    Good OS X "To Do" System

    Does anyone know of a good task management/todo system for OS X? I've tried iGTD and the notepads in dashboard but I'm not sure either is that great. Power and simplicity are important... and both of those are lacking one or the other (notes are not that powerful and iGTD is most def. not...

    Tracking lines on laptop panel video when mirroring image via DVI

    When I plug in a DVI to HDMI cable into my Macbook Pro and mirror the desktop (so the same image is shown on both the laptop panel and the HDMI HD tv, both resolutions native at 1440x900) and watch video, often the video will have "tracking lines" on it for the laptop panel display but not on...

    WoW: RP PVP versus PVP

    I am wondering what AT users who play WoW play on. I play on RP PVP because I feel the player base is a little more mature and you get less names like Killerdude or Druidpwner. It also adds another layer to the game as your occasionally surrounded by gnomes who are acting like they are...

    Wordpress Navigation

    Do any of you know a good way to do Wordpress navigation? It would be nice if it could be dynamic like the Pages widget. The only problem is I need to link to some non pages things like a "home" link and a link to some forums. I am assuming I have to do this via a plugin. I found one but I...

    POLL: If OS X had games with more native Mac clients would you switch?

    The poll on Linux got me interested/thinking... If OS X had more (or almost all) games running native clients would you switch to OS X/Mac? I guess that could include Hackintosh since the hardware cost for a MBP or Mac Pro/iMac can be a barrier to many. OS X does of course currently...

    Team Fortress 2 & L4D With Parallels 4

    I just tried Parallels 4 with TF2 and I got between 15-90 FPS with an average of 30. It was for the most part playable with occasionally spurts of major lag (like 2-3 sec freeze/sputtering, I wonder why). It was unfortunately hardware DX 8 with software dx9 so the awesome tf2 "glow" and facial...

    Video the Vote

    http://www.videothevote.org/ Interesting concept, check out the video. It is insane that after two elections of under handed tactics people (predominately students and lower-income Americans) are being kept from voting. This isn't a partisan issue either - its an issue about the...

    Obama Redistribution of Wealth Clip Spliced Together

    Just thought everyone should see this so they can have all the facts, as usual it seems that people spliced together clips of Obama to try to make him out to be a "socialist".
