I got GeekTool a while back. I got all the codes working and whatnot. I'm just wondering how some of you guys have the little icon show up in the weather shell like when it's cloudy for example, or sunny. I got the weather code activated, but it just says the forecast. I want the preview to show up. I don't know if I explained it right.

Yeah, I want the MBP because it looks better to be honest. But at the same time, I'm not really planning on dropping the extra $$$ for appearances, lol. Who knows tho. I'm definitely getting impatient tho. The tablet news has taken over all the rumors, so there isn't much news out there regarding the new MBPs. I'm just hoping Jobs drops it as a "one more thing" and keep it moving. Hopefully they'll be available right away and I'll have a new MBP by next week.

Waiting on the 27th myself. I have a White MacBook that will be going to my sister. I just want those Arrandale chips. 

 
Hell, if the tablet is sweet might just get one of those while I'm at it.

Can someone help me out? If I order a mac online, lets say from the US, but I order it to HUngary, how will the warranty apply? Can I take it to any mac retailer here in HUngary or anywhere in the world and get maintence?

Could I still purchase applecare?
Or did I have to get it when I first bought my mbp?

as long as you get it within the year you bought it. so from the day you bought it, you'd have 12 months to purchase applecare

 

[chris steez]

^^ im most definitely going to get applecare next month

Yea, I've been thinking about copping the MB, then getting the AppleCare in a few months since I have a year to get it.

Apple.com allows you to compare the two.  Also check out Macrumors.com they have a really helpful buying guide along with spec details. IMO invest in the MBP.

Interesting point. Iono why, but I've just been looking at this as purchasing a computer. Instead, it's actually an investment. Anytime you invest, you go with the best if you can. My decision is made. MBP it is,

PM'ed you.

Just remember, when they update the chips in the MBP, the graphics cards that are built in won't be as strong as the 9400M. Sure they'll probably give you the same or better option in the 15 inch version for the extra graphics cards which is the 9600 ATM. But intels top of the line built-in graphics are nowhere near what the 9400 offers in these current MBPs.

so i go to the genius bar today to see about getting my mighty mouse replaced (i was already on my 2nd one as is), it has been acting up for months. and sure enough, i get to the apple store and it wants to work perfectly so there was nothing they could do.

i just went ahead and bought a new magic mouse, i wish it had a little more height to it, other than that its their best mouse yet!

how do others like their magic mouse?

 

[airpenny1]

i was thinking about buying a mighty mouse for this semester...is it worth it?

 

[queencitysneakerqueen]

^ I've been reading reviews and watching vids on the magic mouse compared to the bulky logitech mice I'm used to I think I'll end up hurting my hand using that thing

 

[jordan201]

what are some good programs for Graphic Designs?

 

[stillmaticshay]

^ well luckily since i am a female and I have smaller hands, i will be ok (i'm hoping). so far no cramping, i'm gonna test it out for a week and see how i feel

 

[nocomment6]

@Biggie62- so your saying that the videocard wont be as good in the next line of MBP's as in the current line? I thought I heard that the videocards will be better too....
