I laughed out loud when I read this. Does anyone else find it funny?

I'm not so sure the airplane thing holds true. I've taken many pictures in planes and from plans while flying, it's never been an issue. I've even used a cell phone in the plane as…

Government work is one thing, but surely it can't be true that you can't take a camera on an airplane. And if so, why is the MacBook getting the press? As others have said, banning…

If someone use that ipatch thing for what it is designed for, to stop people from seeing you when you want to have privacy, they must have a serious case of paranoia! oh, and... 1…

that iPatch thing doesn't seem useful in this case since I doubt they'll be like "Go ahead Akbar, just promise not to remove that piece of plastic from the camera...ok?"

Well, supposedly it can be attached permanently. I guess the other option for people working where they don't allow cameras is to just destroy the camera with some superglue or som…

I travel through Hartsfield Int'l Airport (Atlanta) on a regular basis and have yet to meet one employee who I felt would know the difference between a Macbook and any other comput…

It would really be nice if Apple had a BTO option for a camera-less version. It would be simple enough to implement, I'd think.

I don't think we need confirmation on that aspect -- I've known camera restrictions for government work for years.

I think often times things are outlawed so that way they could prosecute people if needed. So what I am saying is that they really don't care if you bring in your MacBook, but if …

It's not necessarily all government buildings, but it is quite likely that if you have a job dealing with any sensitive or confidential government information, then bringing a came…

I have a Gen 3 (maybe? It's the one with the backlit buttons above the scroll wheel) and let me say, it's seen a fair share of abuse. Currently, it's really slow to turn on. Afte…

Anyone?

Ok, so I don't know why but the following code used to work just fine. Last time I compiled it was when I was running Panther. I just tried compiling my code the other day (with NO…

You haven't by any chance switched from PPC to Intel have you? or from PPC only to a universal binary? I haven't really got much experience with any of that (or with the stuff yo…

More likely in the APIs. I've had numerous problems with apple making changes to AppKit (and others), that cause software compiled under 10.2 or 10.3 to work fine, and software co…
