According to sorting my applications folder.. it's AppCleaner. *(:

Holy cow. So my isight on my lcd cinema display has been *useless* through two models of MBP unibodies. It locked up about a minute into any video chat.

Called applecare, after troubleshooting they said "ok, sounds like hardware, take it into the nearest applestore and give them this warranty/incident number."

Took off of work, drove to an apple store, lugged the huge thing in, waited for my appointment.

A nice genius hooked up the display to his mac and set up a video ichat session there in store. And it didn't lock up. And he said he couldn't help me anymore.

I took it home, plugged it back in, initiated a video chat with a buddy and it immediately locked.

Dammit.

I just installed this and tried it and I am cautiously optimistic - I just had a several minute video conference and no lockups. Thank god.

This was my first experience with applecare after years of owning macs. *not* impressed. But at least they've patched the firmware and it seems like it fixes it now.

Thanks for letting me vent. *(;

Wait wait, I get it.

It's currently 09.28 in the AM. Maybe he thought he got an early release.

Would this help the completely ridiculous amount of dropped calls I've had the last month or so?

Looks more like a virus than a spider.. tho I suppose that's pretty bad marketing. *q:

That... doesn't look like a cube to me.

Tho it's definitely nicer looking than the old duct tape covered beanbag I had in middle/high school. heh.

I've been askin' for this for a couple years. I hate the fact they pop off so easily when the laptop is, you know, on your lap. heh. It's sort of funny that my MBP's power cord is the most securely fastened when it's stationary on my desk (hooked to my display.)

Sigh. Oh well maybe they'll update the big power supplies soon now that they've done the 60w ones.

omg, are you kidding? They finally are putting the MBA/appledisplay aluminum magsafe on the actual power bricks and they're not doing it for the 15" MBP power adapters? Boooooo

(Heh, sorry for the weird post. 1password decided to remember ALL of my last post instead of just my login. Thought I had fixed that.) Wish I could delete posts, engadget.

Anyway. I don't think that's what this is for, Phil. This is for staying inside your house when the weather is unpleasant outside and starting your car to make it nice to get into. This is for starting your car when you leave the mall so some of the hotness is blown out before you open the door.

Not just to use to unlock when you're already standing there. I agree, that would be dumb. *(:

Forget all of those steps. My last couple cars had smart keys and I wouldn't trade them for the world now. Walk up to my car, push a button, get in, push a button. No keys poking yourself in tender areas, no keys scratching up your door handle when you're in a hurry. Awesome. *(:

I just picked up one this week. This was my biggest concern - I go from my couch to the office to my home office. Sunlight, florescent, and a mix. I've always had matte screens - Including the last MBP. I thought the glossy was going to be ridiculous.

It's actually been a complete non-issue. The glare is very similar to my tv - even if it's "glare-y" at a certain spot, adjusting it left or right or up or down a quarter inch and it's gone. And the screen is so bright, clean, and sharp.. it's a great display.

> Glossy screens are not for pro. End of story.

This is ridiculous. "not for 'pro'"? What does that even mean? I'm a professional and it's great.

The trackpad is.. different. On one hand I love the huge area - lots of room. I also *love* the texture - I liked the old MBP, but this is far far superior. Except. If your finger is moist (say you just set your dietcoke back down) it all of a sudden is sort of terrible. Sort of a weird thing to say, I guess. But I drink all day when I'm working. (heh)

The all-encompassing-button is sort of moot to me - I "tap-to-click" 90% of the time anyway.
