Water (or cat piss) and Mag-Safe don't mix.

That happens to me, the cat goes in the shredder. ;p (no animals were harmed in the conception and execution of this post)

The photos can now be seen here. http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/cultofm...try_id=1437672

I would bet that if the cat had pissed on an older powerbook model with a traditional connector, there would have been a problem, too. My sister's cats eat the cords on her comput…

NOBODY is going to convince me that those scratches are a result of an electrical fire, or the result of ten days of normal use. No way.

i look forward to seeing the end result of the tests done on the system by the engineers. i hope that the findings are not witheld for some legal reasons or other. If the guy is ca…

looks like grease was some how involved in this fire not "cat pee" if you look around the connector there are orange marks....lask i checked metal on fire didn't produce orange res…

I came across some .exe files which belong to Photoshop. Spotlight indicates they have something to do with droplets, is this normal? I thought .exe files were found in Windows onl…

.exe files will only run on windows, not on OS X.

The droplets from Photoshop are indeed .exe's and run fine in OS X; however, they are more "cross-platform" scripts as you can pass them between Mac and PC's without issues.

They're scripts for Photoshop. If you right-click an image in the Finder and go to "Open With...", you'll be presented with those various scripts to do whatever it says they do to…

Hi, I'm new to macs and I need to know if there are any decent p2p softwares for mac users (not bit torrent, but something that uses eMule and gNutella like "shareaza"). Also sh…

P2P software (Gnutella, FastTrack, etc. networks): Acquisition, Xfactor, Poisoned, umm... there are other fine alternatives too. Search MacUpdate for "p2p" or perhaps a specific ne…

acquisiition works great for me! Limewire : destroyed my old dell (eww), and a friend swears his powerbook started falling apart since he started using limewire aswell

Something got screwed up with my iDisk and I can't fix it. Everytime the finder tries to access the iDisk I get the spinning beach ball of death forever. That includes shutting o…

It sounds as though your local iDisk image is corrupted and the Finder is stalling while trying to mount it. Try turning off iDisk synching altogether (not just switching off autom…

Hello, I have two macs, an older imac downstairs and a newer imac upstairs. Downstairs I have a speaker system (not connected to the imac, but connnected to an airport express ba…

You MUST have something to connect to the downstairs machine. You can do it wirelessly, or wired, or a combination of both. I think the Express will support you. Read the manual…

Thanks Glen, Do you mean I need a wireless adapter for the downstairs Mac? I will have an ethernet bridge to get it onto the wireless network. What I'm wondering is if the netwo…

The ethernet bridge will work well for you; I like these a lot more than USB devices because they tend to be better implemented (read: ethernet is a real standard you can't fudge),…

Ok, thanks again Glen, I'lll give it a go and see what happens. I've done this same thing wired, just wondering if it works the same way wirelessly. Thanks again

The point of wireless is that it should be the same as wired, except without the clutter. It should look and work just like a wired network, only without the wires.
