BUT I Hit up the DaDoc and he solved all my problems though.. thanks mang.

Are you kidding me?
iMovie is so much better than the previous version. They combined the best of iMovie HD and iMovie '08.
GarageBand has a new layout that is much more user-friendly. The new look is great! There aren't really any new features though, other than lessons,which SUCKS because you have to PAY for artist lessons, something Apple failed to mention during the keynote.

sarcasm. it'd be stupid for a company to put out a product and call it new if it was still the same, no? i was just being an %%$ to him because it was astupid question

His is NOT defective, I have a Unibody MacBook pro opened 3 days ago and i'm at 2 cycles and maxes at 95%. It goes up and down since there's no 100% toestimate how much battery is left.

I got 96% after 256 cycles. I guess that's pretty good.

thanks for the responses everyone. i know it's inevitable that batteries will lose it's charge through wear and tear and through time, but i mightconsider buying a spare battery. but at the same time, $130 for a new battery. i might have to give it some thought like i gave when i bought my MBP.
also, is coconut battery better than iStats, as far as battery level measurement?

Saw these in another thread... what do these programs do.. I saw they were recommended.
Go to the mac thread, I would start with
*Burn
*Handbrake
*Thunderbird
*Firefox - (Better than Safari?)
*Candybar
*Peer Guardian

Burn: Burns any type of file onto a DVD or CD.
Handbrake: Lets you rip your DVDs onto your computer.
Thunderbird: Mail client.
Firefox: Web browser like Internet Explorer but better imo.
Candybar: Let's you customize your icons, docks, etc.
PeerGuardian: Blocks out incoming and outgoing connections. I use Little Snitch instead cause i think its less of a hassle and you can just block anything witha few clicks.

YO! Serious question. I am looking to get a new Mac...
I am currently using a Powerbook G4 that I have had since 05.
I saw a refurb MacAir for $999 what do you think and another for $1099
what is the major difference between 1.6 GHz and 1.8GHz

does anyone in this thread (besides you Gerard,lol)
use the airport express for the wireless streaming of music through a receiver and speakers?
if so, how was the set up and how do you like it?
thinking of getting this set up in my living room.
I already have the airport extreme base station and i love that, no problems. i figured this would be a cool addition for my music.
thanks for any info and feedback.

iStat says my Battery is at 99% health at 840 cycles.
I tend to only charge battery when it says its running on reserves.
And for times when its going to be on forever(i.e. downloading a movie) I charge to 50% then take battery out and leave it plugged in.

no need for thunderbird when you already have mail. safari is a lot better than firefox on macs. another alternative to handbrake is mactheripper

Mactheripper rips into Video TS files that you can't burn unless you have Toast...save the hassle and use Handbrake instead
And that was my list

i know, but if he just wants to view on his computer mactheripper is fine. i use handbrake anyway. handbrake + netflix account = $$$ saved

I use it, it's reeeally easy. You just plug the cable into airport and then into your receiver and voila! There's an option in iTunes toeither play music thru your computer or thru your airport express also.
