Over a year owning my macbook I just now find out that if you leaved it plugged in Ac it'll run on the the actual power adapter not the battery.

smh.gif
at me being paranoid that my battery will burn out, or will it?
embarassed.gif
 
if you're scared, just take off the battery. i keep my MBP plugged in all the time. it has become my desktop since i have so much %*!+ attached to it. ionly cycle it about 2 times a month.
 
The tablet is great. Definitely invest in one if you have the funds.
I'm only running on a 2.2, so based on what you've said, maybe I'll hold off on the memory and just wait till I get my pro tower next year.
 
I always turn my comp off when I'm done and disconnect the Power Adapter, I don't like using my battery when I'm at my main desk.


I was thinking to get the Time Capsule but there's really no point since I have enough ports.

I'm waiting for my new macbook battery to come in since it died on me..thankfully insurance covered it
 
i regret wasting my money on 2 mighty mice (wireless and wired) they last about 4 months and then the scrollball becomes a POS that is impossible to clean

Once Snapz Pro X is installed, a single keystroke can immediately save anything visible on screen
in a wide variety of image file formats. Using Snapz Pro X, you don't have to tell people about how
cool a game is or how to use a particular program -- you can just take a picture or movie of it and
show them. Snapz Pro X supports saving screen images as .bmp, .pict, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tiff, .pdf,
or Photoshop files, and can even record the action as a QuickTime movie!

Screenshots can be scaled, cropped, color depth-changed, and dithereded. Snapz Pro X can also add
borders, generate automatic thumbnails, overlay watermarks/copyright notices... you name it, we got it!

Snapz Pro wasn't just ported to Mac OS X, it was rewritten from the ground up to use the exciting new
technologies that Mac OS X has to offer. Support for these cool new features permeates Snapz Pro X like
genetic superiority in a thoroughbred: long file names, automatic preview icons on image files,
Unicode/international support, and bullet-proof operation are just a few of the pleasantries you
will enjoy.

Album Art Thingy is the easy way to fill in your iTunes collection's artwork.
Just leave it running and every time it spots a tune playing in iTunes that doesn't have album art, it retrieves the art from the internet and adds it to that song, and all other songs from the same album.

New! Now Album Art Thingy fetches lyrics too!
This feature's still experimental (which means there are lots of songs it can't currently find lyrics for), but we're working on improving it.

Keygen is included!

Everybody loves the drag and drop nature of OS X. Drag an app into your applications folder, and it's installed. You'd think it would be that easy to delete an app - just a matter of dragging it to the trash. But it's not. Applications install preferences, caches, and other support files throughout your computer that take up space and generate clutter. Deleting these by hand every time you delete an app is a pain.

Posters note to newer Mac Heads: This is handy to have.

If you need to allow people from within your office or across the Internet to send, receive, and manage files on a central Mac, Rumpus FTP is what you are looking for.
Rumpus is perfect for print, media or design shops, and is the answer to education and corporate file sharing needs.
Rumpus FTP can handle virtually any Internet file transfer task by working with standard FTP and Web clients on any platform, and do it with remarkable ease.



Performance
Rumpus is not only lightning quick, but it's efficient, too. This means that FTP and Web users will be able to transfer and manage files as fast as the network allows, while leaving plenty of CPU time for other applications running on your server or desktop Mac.

Ease Of Use And Maintenance
Rumpus is, quite simply, the easiest FTP server on the planet to set up and administer. From the setup assistant that fully prepares the server to accept users to the logically designed server management windows, Rumpus makes running an FTP server easy.

Web File Manager
In addition to offering an incredibly high-performance FTP server with unmatched ease of use, Rumpus also includes the Web File Manager. The Web File Manager makes it easy to provide FTP-like capabilities to anyone with a Web browser. For details, see our WFM Overview, including screen shots that show just how easy you can make Internet file transfers for your users.

Simple User Management
FTP users are managed directly in Rumpus, not in the system, keeping your FTP users distinct from other server resources. Not only does Rumpus make managing users easy, but it gives you advanced controls like individual drop folders, access restrictions, usage limits, account history, and more. The single-window user management interface in Rumpus is also supplemented by Web-based administration, allowing you to define and manage user accounts from anywhere on the Internet.

A Real Mac Application
Rumpus runs natively on any Mac OS or Mac OS X computer. There's no Java required and the memory footprint and CPU usage is tiny. You will also appreciate the comprehensive help pages and articles, that cover not only how to use Rumpus, but networking issues and the general FTP information you need when you have questions.

Professional Technical Support
Maxum has been selling Internet server software for Macs longer than anybody (including Apple!). When you have a question, we're here to help. We believe that you have a right to get the most out of the software you buy, always. So, we offer unlimited, free technical support.


The complete list of updates includes:
*The default Web File Manager templates have been revised to improve the accuracy of the WFM display, browser compatibility, rendering speed, and handling of special cases (such as very long filenames with no spaces).
*The WFM "Can't overwrite file" error message is now correctly displayed from the messages file so that it is localized and customizable.
*Increased the SMTP username and password field lengths to a maximum of 63 characters.
*Corrected a bug that could cause the "failed login" counter to not be reset when users completed successful login.
*The "New Username" field is now automatically selected when the "New User" sheet on the Define Users window is opened.
*Mail sent by Rumpus with end user names specified in addresses (as in an address of the form "Bob Jones <[email protected]>") are now stripped to only the recipient address for SMTP transmission. The full address is included in mail message bodies for proper display in mail clients.

How to get your project done on time and under budget:
* Translate strategy into tactics everyone can understand
* Create summaries of work broken into lists of activities
* Distribute workloads fairly and efficiently
* Manage costs as you go

Plan, monitor, and control it all with software designed to make your job easier, not harder.

With OmniPlan, you can create logical, manageable project plans with Gantt charts, schedules, summaries, milestones, and critical paths. Break down the tasks needed to make your project a success, optimize resources, and streamline budgets. It's project management made painless.

Features

User-Friendly Interface
We designed OmniPlan to help you spend your time on more worthy pursuits than trying to figure out how to use project management software. OmniPlan's intuitive approach helps you get things done and stays out of your way while doing so. OmniPlan has several customizable views starting from "simple creation" for basic planning options; when you're ready for more sophisticated functions, OmniPlan can be configured to meet your needs.

Leopard Support
OmniPlan is built to use the latest and greatest Mac OS X technologies including OS X 10.5 Leopard features such as Quicklook which you can use to preview your linked files from within OmniPlan.

Live Filtering
Cut your complex project down to size using our powerful live task filter. You can select any number of criteria and OmniPlan will give you a live, filtered view of just those matching items. Need to see all tasks groups from your current selection assigned to a particular resource? Live filter it with a few simple mouse clicks.

Fine Grained Time Scales
We let you set the time scale that's most appropriate for your project, whether that's days or months, minutes or years. You can even snap the timescale to fit in your entire project, letting OmniPlan take care of it for you.

Easy Task Management
Tasks are the activities needed to complete your project ("survey beta testers", for example, or "drywall the bedroom"). They are summaries of work broken into individual elements, to which you can then assign resources ("Bill", or "vinyl flooring"). OmniPlan lets you enter tasks quickly in the outline view, in a familiar hierarchical format that simplifies complex projects with summaries and subheadings. You can track the costs associated with your tasks (resource cost, task cost, and total), view task constraints and dependencies, and create milestones that represent completion points in your project - all within the outline view. You'll have a clear understanding of your project's goals and deliverables in no time.

Efficient Resource Allocation
With OmniPlan's resource management, you can identify bottlenecks in your project, track budgets, and distribute workloads fairly and efficiently. Resources are defined as Staff, Material, Equipment, and Groups. OmniPlan allows you to assign a cost to each of your resources by use or by hour, so you can keep precise control over your project budget. You can control your resource availability with a calendar, and make adjustments to reflect efficiencies (for example, assign a 75% efficiency to a staff member who can only devote ¾ of their time to your project). OmniPlan's resource leveling function automatically redistributes workloads among resources, so you avoid overallocation.

Smart Scheduling
A good schedule helps you understand the details of your project and improves your ability to keep everything on track. Your OmniPlan schedule shows you what needs to be done, when it can (or must) be done, and who's going to do it. Tasks can be scheduled according to a variety of rules - as early as possible, on a specific date, or as resources allow. OmniPlan's calendar mode gives you options for determining work week schedules for your resources, and editing specific dates as needed. Once you've completed and fine-tuned your project plan, OmniPlan lets you set a baseline (a set of original start and finish dates, durations, and work/cost estimates), which acts as a reference point against which you can compare the actual progress of your plan.

Visual Timelines
The Timeline (or Gantt Chart) view of your project displays activities in a calendar. Durations for each task are shown graphically in a time-phased diagram by day, week, month, quarter, or year. The Gantt view shows task start and stop times, dependencies, resources, or resource usage by task, all on a timeline. You can visually edit tasks and create dependencies (where a certain task can't begin unless another has finished) by dragging and connecting them in the Gantt view. OmniPlan's graphical display of your project's information helps you quickly assess status and proactively manage deadlines.

Violations and Critical Paths
If your schedule has a logical impossibility - for example, the scheduled start date for a task occurs before the project start date - OmniPlan displays a violation window, with an explanation of the problem and suggestions of possible solutions (and links that automatically resolve the violation). In the Gantt view, OmniPlan displays your project's critical path, which is the series of tasks that are necessary in order for your project to finish on schedule. The critical path can change as you progress through your schedule; OmniPlan keeps you up to date so you can make informed decisions.

Options for Sharing Data
OmniPlan can import XML, MPX, and MPP project files from Microsoft Project directly into OmniPlan. OmniPlan exports information to iCal, CSV, Microsoft Project Exchange (MPX), Microsoft Project (XML), HTML, OmniOutliner, OmniGraffle, and a variety of image formats. You can create detailed HTML reports with OmniPlan, and use filtered criteria for customized printing and exporting options.
