thanks. btw, it's smart to cycle your battery (no matter what electronic) the first time you buy it.

nice set up, but why aren't you running dual screens? yeah the MB might be only 13" but you'll see how much of a difference the extra real estate makes. anyway, here's mine.

Unibody MBP on Griffin Elevator. LaCie 500GB HDD for time machine. 20" Apple Cinema Display. iPhone 3G. I had a tv mounted over the desk but the view angle was crap so I got rid of it. Looking to add an HP Firebird 803 for some gaming in the future and possibly a 20-24" Dell/Samsung Monitor.

Yo I just copped a macbook. I dont know what the F im doing. Any tips on some things I should do first ?

 

[cwrite78]

update it. click on the apple > software update. and after that, you already have everything you need preinstalled. ichat, itunes, safari. with customizing,get candybar (will need reg code), change your BG if you want. there is really no science behind a mac.

Under places he has a home, is it possible to change the name ?

How can you connect your mac to your TV? I'm about to buy a 20incher for my room but have no cable/dvd in there. Do I need some kind of cord/program forthat, elnino?

 

[dam itz lou]

depends on what model you have because the inputs are different on different models. I have a black Macbook so mine has mini-DVI. I bought the mini-DVI to DVIcord from apple and then bought aDVI to HDMI cable to connect to that and then hook into my tv

to use as a secondary display/bigger screen? just get a vga cable. but you're going to need a vga > dvi or if you want to connect it to HDMI get an HDMI> DVI. or mini dvi, or if it's a unibody, mini displaylink to vga. and if you want to watch tv on it, buy Elgato EyeTV Hybrid.

Last year, Apple announced that they will be releasing the next major revision of Mac OS X (10.6 Snow Leopard) in 2009. The focus of Snow Leopard has been on performance and quality of the underlying codebase rather than introducing new end-user features.

Based on our sources, however, Apple will apparently use Snow Leopard's release to tweak the overall user interface for Mac OS X and unify it across applications. Exact details of the theme changes have not been made public, as the current developer seeds for Snow Leopard still retain Apple's existing Aqua theme. The new theme will likely involve tweaks to the existing design and perhaps a "flattening" of Aqua in-line with Apple's iTunes and iPhoto interface elements.

The codename for the new interface is said to be "Marble" -- though that seems likely to be an internal codename only. John Gruber had also hinted at such changes in a pre-Macworld prediction piece and had independently heard the codename "Marble".

Apple's Snow Leopard is rumored to be released as early as the first quarter of 2009.
