If you don’t know what a widget is, your a goon. Open your dashboard by hitting F12 (or F4 on newer mac’s) if that doesn’t work, panic!
Get yourself the iSlayer istat pro widget
Now, it monitors network interfaces, pretty wild eh? When you connect your iPhone by USB or Bluetooth, you should see it as [...]
So I’ve been tethering my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro 13″ since I purchased the laptop. I figured now was a good time to write about it. I’ve been doing it for a few weeks now. Here are my findings.
Background info:
Equipment: iPhone 3G, Optus, 500MB data included a month. Macbook Pro 13″ 2.53Ghz.
Used: mainly [...]
A few weeks ago Melissa and I purchased a new Macbook from her uni.. a 2.4Ghz Unibody Macbook. It’s nice, and it’s fast, and it’s quicker than her old 1.8Ghz Macbook Pro.
2 weeks later, Apple released new Macbook’s again and pulled the Macbook 13″ unibody into the “Pro” line.
The update isn’t really worth getting upset [...]
Latest purchase. Story is, I upgraded the hard disk in the Macbook Pro (80GB) to a new Seagate Mentus 7200rpm 320GB drive. It’s much faster. The old 80GB drive went into this enclosure to use as a ‘backup’ until the system is all sorted.. It’s a SATA enclosure, it has a usb interface, it’s dead [...]
My Macbook Pro is over two years old now, it’s a 2Ghz core duo, revision A, as in… the first Macbook made available by Apple!
Sometime down the track Apple did a battery recall, I had a new battery sent to me to replace the existing one. How nice.
Some 184 cycles later and the battery only [...]
I phoned up DigiLife yesterday (apple reseller) to enquire about bringing in my macbook pro for a service. It has a squeeky spacebar and it’s driving me up the wall. (sounds like nothing, but trust me it’s so damn annoying)
They said the turnaround time is about 7 days. 7 DAYS WITHOUT MY MACBOOK PRO. This [...]
I currently use a cheap logitech USB headset for chatting in skype on my Macbook Pro or iMac, it’s wired, and a bit clunky.
I’ve been meaning to do something about this and go for some kind of wireless solution. I’m going to kill two birds with one stone, and get myself a bluetooth over-ear earpiece.
I’ve [...]
I saw a post on a forum that I frequent from someone asking about cleaning their laptop.
Most manufacturers recommend just cleaning with a damp cloth of some sort, not me! I’ve been using these Screen-Clene thingo’s, they are like a ‘wipe’. They work really well and are non alcoholic (like me, heh heh, cough)
Open the [...]
The Booq Viper EXO arrived today. How exciting. It’s very nice, laptop fits snug, my stuff fits in there nice. Although it can get squeezy! It seems really tough, and the protection for my Macbook Pro is rather good! The shoudler strap is pretty cool and made out of seatbelt style material (like in your [...]
