Its invisible because it starts with a . Open the terminal (in Applications/Utilities). From the command prompt type: cd ~/Desktop mv .jpeg magically_appear.jpeg And the jpeg will appear on your desktop. Do with it as you wish.

I see something similar. What is strange to me is that it isn't centered on my screen. The "warm" gradient is about 3-3 1/2" wide on the left side, and only 1-2" wide on the right side. On my screen, the warmness to the left side is enough of a change, that even my wife noticed it while...

Has anyone here with a 2408WFP noticed the left third of their monitor being more warm than the right 2/3rds? The left third of my monitor seems to have a slight bit of a pink tint to the reds.. if I calibrate this out, the left 2/3rds get a blue hue. I am thinking I might have a faulty unit...

Just got mine! woohoo! :) I'll be happy to take some pictures after my meetings this evening. A few random initial impressions: 1) I have a dead pixel just off the center of the monitor. Its actually quite annoying, and might be two dead pixels (it seems to be "smeared" and might be a...

Damn.. Ordered very late on Sunday night (10:30pm-ish), did the free 3-5 business day delivery, and had an expected ship time of 5-7 days. Got my shipped notice an hour and a half later. Just checked the tracking info, and they are delivering it today?!? Not bad for "free slow shipping." :D

Ok, so which is it? That you dont want to get a Mac because you game? Or because you dont want to pay the premium? It sounds like you dont really want a Mac. Boot camp does not cost any extra. It comes with any new Mac- it is included in the Leopard OS. The only extra you have to pay is...

My frustration stems from 2 things- 1) Rumblings indicate that the next gen NV card is very close to being released. 2) It took so darn long for the Mac Pro to get a modern video card. I realize that there was no way to include the 9 series NV card, as they are not released. That being...

I'll triple the Radtech screensaverz. On my TiBook, I had the problem of keys being etched into the screen over time. Since then, even though some claim you dont need a screen protector on MBPs, I dont trust it. The $12.00 or whatever spent on the screensaverz is cheap insurance, and...

First impressions- FUN. This game has brought smiles to my face, and everyone else around here who has seen it. What Mario 64 did for 2-D mario games, SMG does for Mario 64. As others have said, IMO it is the first true progression for the franchise since M64. That being said, it isn't...

I picked up my copy yesterday afternoon at the Nintendo World store in Manhattan. They had a ton out.

Most definitely. Apple has implemented their seagate hard drive self destruction code, that causes read/write heads to physically detach and destroy your drive.. Did you even read TFA? :rolleyes: As for the bug you are talking about, with the moving of files, and your oh-so-insightful comment...

I'd wait a week or two, and revisit your quest. The stars are starting to align (Penryn based Xeon release impending, sudden jump in Mac Pro ship times in the past few days, etc..) such that we might just see a new Mac Pro released soon (and everyone knows that this is MUCH needed). With...

There is a company called MyPublisher. They have a windows compatible software for creating books similar to what Apple's iPhoto offers. http://www.mypublisher.com/index.php

If you do decide to try it yourself, the biggest thing is to make sure you keep track of where all the screws go. As you'll see in that howto, there are a bunch of screws. I'd suggest using some zip-top baggies, and mark them "Exterior Screws", "Step 2, interior screws" etc.. so that you know...

The hard drive in the MBP is, unfortunately not a user upgradeable part (i.e.- if you screw something up while installing, kiss your warranty goodbye). That being said, it really isn't *that* difficult, if you have more dexterity than a 2 legged horse. Here are some good direction with...
