I spilled coffee on my 15" 1.5Ghz powerbook and ruined the display, the keyboard, and possibly my ram (showing intermittently as 512 + 256 and sometimes 256 + 256 when it's really 512 + 512). I am stripping it and using it as a jukebox in a retro stereo receiver, and hooking up a 7-10" touch screen lcd for control.
My questions are:
-How do I force the computer to think that it's always in clamshell mode on boot?
-How do I test the ram problem without buying more ram?
-Can I disconnect the backup battery if all I'm going to do is use the computer for front row and itunes? (I lost the little cable that ocnnectes it to logic board)
Thanks everyone

Isn't the eMate smaller in size than a Macbook? I doubt the screen would fit.
its possible to cut out more screen real estate to make something bigger fit...

@MechaSpanky, someone could still take a screenshot and apply some simple Photoshop (as MacDawg has said).
Yes, that is true and it is a very good point but I still think that a locked PDF file (with the editing capabilities restricted) will deter most people who might think about stealing your stuff. Sure there are others out there that will take the time to download a high res screen capture utility (you will have to actually download a program to do this as the normal screen capture on Macs is 72 ppi, which is low res) but I would imagine that most companies wouldn't do that. It is the same problem that software companies face with piracy. There will always be people who can and will steal stuff, but the majority will not.
I myself, as a designer have been asked to submit samples of my work for review by clients. I have never had anyone steal any of my work (although there have been a couple of companies that might have "borrowed" some of my design ideas but that is even harder to prevent). Just to be safe, I always use a PDF with restricted editing capabilities and I also add a watermark. Sure someone can get around this but it will take them a while to do it (never underestimate the power of a well placed watermark, it can make retouching an image very difficult if positioned correctly).
In the end, I would imagine that the best thing to do is to make sure that you can trust the people who you are dealing with. Of course this is not always an option (nor is it an easy thing to determine).

Hello all!!
Whilst waiting for the iMac refresh I have been wondering what parts I should upgrade when buying...
I plan on playing CCS / DoDs possibly WoW, also using Ps, Ai & Indesign. So I am wondering should I upgrade both the processor and RAM or just the processor or just the RAM? I plan on getting a 21.5" unless they bring back the 24".
Also I will be paying by finance as the money I had saved for it had to cover an emergency, is there anything I should know before paying by finance?
Thanks

Mactheknife has it about correct, although you might not notice as much of a speed decrease if you go for the faster TiBook. Web surfing under OS X will be your biggest complaint (both speed and stability). While this is definately a problem with the browsers more than the OS, it's a problem with ALL the browsers right now. Major pain. Apple should really light a fire under the browser developers as this is a major drawback to the Mac right now.

I created a thread on this problem here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1121218&highlight=). I filed a bug and received a response from Apple that it was a duplicate. It was refiled under the original Bug ID# 8441526.

well I've just had a quick play with QEMU for the first time and I'm quite impressed. For a free piece of software it's quite polished and seems fairly stable. speed is definately not one of it's plus points though - linux reports a 38Mhz CPU on my 1.8Ghz dual G5 :-) It is slugish, but workable for basic tasks. I haven't used VPC 7 yet but VPC 6 on my old G4 always performed quite well so in the speed stakes I would suspect that VPC blasts QEMU out of the water - but VPC's not free....
I iEmulator has done nothing to the base QEMU package then I suspect all it's adding is a better UI - personally I'd rather stick commandline or use QemuX

I have been using a netgear WGR614 v4 for over 6 months without a single interruption in connection. I am 70 feet away through two bathrooms (lots of pipes) and other wooden/drywalled walls. We also have other devices in the house running at 2.4ghz and they do not interfere at all. This absolutely blows the pants off of the M$ router i had at first. I got my netgear on ebay brand new in the box for 19 dollars shipped.

If you told us more about the source you might get better suggestions. For instance, the image size and ratio.
BTW, it isn't ration, it is ratio.

As far as I can tell, the "search to sketch" app is not for local businesses, it is for local restaurants only. I cannot find a way to search for non-restaurant businesses.
Not to be too mean ;p, but re-read the last few sentences of the story again.
Here 'tis, so you don't have to scroll back up:
At launch, Yahoo! Sketch-a-Search is available only in the U.S. and covers only restaurants, but additional business categories and localizations are reportedly coming soon.

Meh.
I would be excited but I am still waiting to see what Apple does to counter the Xbox360 HD movie salvo that MS fired yesterday. The 'iTV' isn't looking too hot these days�
I tend to agree...BUT iTV was only hinted at, with few details. Let's wait and see what the final product is.
And, in cany case, don't forget that when the iPod first came out, the Mac failthful initially panned it.

Given that Nyko has all but officially abandoned the adapter that would have allowed PS2 guitar controllers to work on PS3, I've turned to a new dream.
I'm no programmer, so if I'm completely outta my gourd I trust someone will slap me sensible... The Xbox 360 GH2 controller is a USB device with an extra button for Live. Would it be possible for someone to write a driver to make that extra button act as the button required by the PS3 to initiate a PS2 game, and permit the 360 guitar to be used on the PS3 to play the PS2 Guitar Hero games?
