decidedly, SETI@home should be run as screensaver only and set to go to black screen after one minute...

This is a frivolous hack. Sure, it looks "cool", but only to a person who's currently bored with the iBook look. By removing all of the rubber, you're 1) decreasing the resale valu…

Rubber? He removed some metal panels located "inside" the iBook to give it a more translucent appearance. Now there was some debate on the page as to wether or not these panels …

Stogieman makes some good points... people will pay a premium for a cool looking machine because it means they don't have to risk breaking it themselves. I've seen clearly spray pa…

I agree with Misha, people *will* pay for the cool factor (which is one of the reasons the iBook outsold all those dull black PC bricks). Personally, I wouldn't want to risk becomi…

Imagine trying to take a nap on a airplane when the guy next to you takes one of these out and starts typing on it.

At least you'd definitely have a sun tan when you hit the beach

I have been there several times. They have a store that sells Apple gear and stuff, got a nice polo shirt there.. ...but why is this thread in the mac hacking forum? [This messa…

Gotta love that quote... I printed it across a few pieces if paper and satuck it up (I won't say where), about a year ago... still there today! Cipher13

Howdy. I went there last March, and was disappointed to find out that they don't give tours. But since the headquarters is just a bunch of offices, I guess that it wouldn't be mu…

The new mouse and keyboard will work fine. Note that the new keyboard does not have a power button, you will have to turn on from the CPU. .......Apple Sticks `n iSub..........…

More info: Ariel posted where the upgrade came from in this thread. The place mentioned is http://www.allmac.com/ but they are not listing any G4 duaghtercards available at this t…

um... in my opinion the HK Sticks speakers are somewhat over-rated and hyped... i have demo'ed them and not at the MWNY expo's noisy hall those that have done so feel similarly y…

Yes, the new keyboard does have a power button. It is the disc eject button. Don't ask me why they did that; it's odd and confusing.

Hi Reader50 and the rest of you! Thanks for the reply, I too am a bit puzzled about that upgrade to 500 Mhz... Oh well... I am pretty happy with the 400 Mhz only I have a some an…

When has anyone ever proven that the disk-eject key is the power button? Time and time again, people have said that it is NOT a power-up key. There is even a TIL article that says…

It may not be a power button, but pressing it while your computer is turned off powers it up. Go figure.

Can you back that up? http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n58677 "The Apple Pro Keyboard does not have a Power button to turn on a computer" http://til.info.apple.com/t…

How exactly did you make this huge scratch?

While trying to open my Mac. It must have been some sand on the couch that scratched it.

Hmm... don't know what to say. Removing scratches from glass is tricky because it's transparent. I know that you can rub toothpaste on plastic to remove scratches, so maybe that's …

Clarification: I was not referring to a repair service, I was thinking of those repair kits sold in auto supply stores. They include a tube or two of some clear epoxy stuff. You …
