    Apple Cinema Display

    It's not locked down, it's just controlled via OSX. Therefore, you need a workaround for windows. It has nothing to do with Apple telling you shit; they just don't like a lot of buttons on the monitor.

    Has Apple ever screwed up your online orders?

    you'll love it at first, then you'll think it sucks because you can't customize it, then you'll realize over time that you have less and less desire to customize and you'll appreciate its simplicity.

    iPhone 4 to 4S and 4S to 5---help me get something

    5 is an earth-shattering upgrade from a dumb-phone, a great upgrade from the 3GS, sort-ok upgrade from the 4, and not worthwhile upgrade from the 4S. It adds stuff that the 4S should have had (LTE) and is thinner, but that's about it. It's a ho-hum release for the most part.

    How to 'protect' a Macbook Air while at college?

    Never leave the door unlocked. Put the thing in your sock drawer when you aren't home. Dorm thieves are usually just grabbing laptops off desks. Rarely do people have their room robbed completely. Out of sight = assumed she took it with her.

    Embarassing problem, but would appreciate urgent help regarding iphone

    This. If you didn't have an answer to this problem within the first 2 hours of losing the phone, someone has the photos. Just hope they're not a douche.

    Computer Won't Boot

    You're the best. Thanks again for the help and the articles. I think I finally understand a little bit of what's going on in there.

    Computer Won't Boot

    I'm confused. From what you said, I'm thinking that you can't just add up the amperage on two rails and compare it to a single rail. Also, is it true that if they show max wattage for two rails that means it's really one rail??? Is there maybe an article I can read to help me understand all...

    Computer Won't Boot

    I'm looking to use up some gift cards I have at Amazon from returning textbooks. The Neo Eco is $85 on Amazon right now, and I think there are some better units for that kind of money (right?). I'm looking to spend under $90, but it MUST be on amazon. Below is my research so far. I've...

    Computer Won't Boot

    I know. When I bought the PSU I was a bit of a noob and relied on a friend to help me. Unfortunately, he wasn't the most informative about power supplies. It was definitely a PSU problem. I did the paperclip test on it, and the fan doesn't move. I understand that "never skimp on the...

    Computer Won't Boot

    That's kind of what I thought might be going on too. What do you think of the Corsair CX600? Jonny Guru gave the thumbs up to the CX430, and I have some credit at Amazon where I can get it for $61 with prime.

    Computer Won't Boot

    I've been having some problems with my rig crashing lately. I powered it off to see if that helped, and now it won't power on at all. I've listed below the specs and the problems I've been having. Any help as far as what to test or what needs replacing would be really helpful, as I haven't...

    Good Mac-Centric Forum(s)?

    Yes you can. iFixit has teardown guides for everything. It's just a matter of having the right tools. Even products like the magic mouse, that are held together with glue, can be torn apart and reassembled.

    Google's Marissa Mayer Named Yahoo CEO

    HIGHLY doubt this has anything to do with money. It's way more likely she wants to be the boss and right a sinking ship.

    I think my local Apple store is hurting MacBook sales

    You guys like the clunky clicking? Tap to click is the best. Once you get used to it, the whole process is so much more precise and efficient.
