keep an ear out for an mbp that has choked "on vomit"

haha, i just went to have a look and the pics are essentially gone...replaced by some big blocky pixels. Insert consiracy theory! from the link, caution, copyright infringment …

It looks like the cats peed on the connector, shorting it.

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…

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…

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…
