Doesn’t negate the fact that Apple's speakers suck so badly that even a high pitched alarm is going to be hardly audible if you close the MBP’s screen.

How are you gonna remove the battery without moving the 'book and setting off the alarm? 'tard.]]>Jul 26th 2006 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/09/ialertu-macbook-alarm-software-available-in-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/09/ialertu-macbook-alarm-software-available-in-beta/
Your computer can be paired to the apple remote you got with it (or any remote you buy therafeter) by doing so in the security settings. Each apple remote has a slight modulation int he carrier frequency of the IR beam so that if i pair my computer with MY remote, yours wont do a thing to it.

Removing the battery without shifting the computer would be impossible. I have a lightsaber program for my macbook pro that is sensitive to a single degree in any direction.

Mute button, power button, and mouse button can all be prevented by shutting off keybaord input, or making it so that any input on the keyboard or mouse button would cause the alarm to go off. Remember, this is a beta version people. That means things will be discovered, and they will be expanded upon. Hell, with enough time and some simple coding i could modify the program myself to where only a special key combo will turn it off.

Unless you know what the hell you're talking about when it comes to how the hardware works, shut the hell up]]>Oct 6th 2006 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/09/ialertu-macbook-alarm-software-available-in-beta/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/09/ialertu-macbook-alarm-software-available-in-beta/Apr 4th 2008 9:26AM
