Well, I used the official documentation for the first aluminum 15" PB (which is what I have). It says to use a "dentist pick" to undo the clip. An allen wrench works fine, as long as you don't drop it into the optical drive like I did :rolleyes:

Hi guys,
I'm working on a Space Invaders testcase.
You know those barriers right? Where you can hide behind and shoot a hole through? That's what I want to achieve.
Is it possible to do a collisiondetection pixelwise? And make a series of pixels of that sprite transparent after collision?
I'm using Cocos2d by the way.
Cheers
I think I'll have to go with a custom MutableTexture2d for fast getting and setting of pixels:
http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/forum/topic/2449
My idea is:
- First do a pixel perfect collision detection using the pixelAt function
- If there's a collision do a 'sprite merge' with one sprite being an impact-radius sprite and of course the barrier sprite using setPixelAt.
Hope that's going to work out (performance).
Any other thoughts on the subject are very welcome.
Cheers

PS2, not PSP... and wouldnt a mini PS2 have the same size cds so that all the games that have been released to date are compatible. Although, with my experience, burnt media will usually not play in playstations, burnt cds are simply a no go, and burnt dvds are a toss up.
If you want to listen to MP3s CD or DVDs, just get a cheap dvd player, you can even get DivX DVD players, my friend got a no namer for $100 CDN... and I got a Yahama DivX DVD player for $200 CDN...

So apple decided to give me a crappy hard drive that died outside of my warranty. i am now trying to replace it. i'm following the guide at pbfixit.com for replacing the battery. however there's a "clip" apparently that is holding the right hand side of the case together and i see absolutely no way to unclip it. any help would be appreciated. i've been working on it for about 2 hours and i've had about enough and i'm ready to sell the pile of crap and buy a PC. apple gets "crappy design award of the year" for not making their hardware servicable that's for sure. and no, i'm not paying apple @$$loads of money for them to fix what should be simple for anyone to do.

Hi. This is my first post here. I've been through most of the forum entries and googled around but didn't seem to find an answer to my specific question. So here goes:
I've had my MBpro 13" since the summer of 2009. I know my way around a PC but Mac is a new experience to me but I wanted to try it out to see what all the fuzz was about.
Sometime last summer my Mac started to freeze when I opened it up after sleep mode or brought it out of stand by mode (I hardly ever turn it off but the problem is the same after a fresh startup). It did not matter what application I was using, Mail, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, iTunes, Finder - whatever application the result would be the same. The beach ball would just keep spinning and spinning and everything would be locked down for about a minute or two. In the beginning of such a period I could navigate to another window or the desktop and click something but after about 10 seconds I couldn't do that either. After a minute or two everything would be back to normal.
Originally I thought it was Mail that was causing the problem because I resolved it by deleting the plist. But after getting all of my mails back into the inbox and getting 2-3 feeds from various sites the problem was back. Deleting the plist and not getting the feeds helped for a while - 3-4 months or so and then the beach ball-problem came back. This time I stopped using Mail for a while to see if this was the problem. It wasn't and in the end I reinstalled the OS.
Some months later everything started all over - only this time it was worse. Grey screen prevented me from doing anything and after a hard reset I couldn't even access the desktop. I tried everything - pressing D or T during startup, pressing Option-command-p-r, but nothing helped.
Another reinstall solved the problem for a while. And after that I've been running a repair disk permissions regularly. Somehow it always found something to repair - this struck me as odd but I thought, as long as it's not freezing I'm good. Well - now it's freezing again and it started after I installed 10.6.7. I've unticked the harddisk sleep-thingy and removed Firefox but the beach ball apparently doesn't care if I use Apple-software or not. Last freeze was in Safari. The time before that was in iTunes.
ANY help would be much appreciated. Could my hdd be corrupt? Why didn't I have a problem the first year then?

Wasn't it Michael Dell who wanted to have Apple close up shop and sell the stock back to its shareholders only back in February?
Now Dell is doing its best to give Apple visibility, and sales!

Does anyone have the manual for the 11" MBA ? Great Post ! :D
Since the 11" and 13" are almost identical, I suppose that the technician guide mentioned here applies to both.

A CDN isn't a web host or a cloud provider. It's a distributed network of computers that push-out content to the "edges" of the Internet, closer to users. It's appropriate for large web sites with large geographic appeal which also have a need for low-latency deliver of content to users.
Amazon does have a CDN product, but it's not included in the base S3 offering. S3 offers storage services in ONE of Amazon's data centers, but doesn't push-out content across their world-wide network.
To my knowledge, the other solutions offered aren't CDNs and don't offer a CDN product.
Let's see, VPS offers origin pull caching on a few dozen locations around the world, including over a dozen in the US.
Surely that's not a CDN. :rolleyes:
Agreed. The Amazon product you'd be looking at is "CloudFront", not "S3".
And Rackspace does offer a CDN now, but it's actually using Akamai for the CDN functionality. Akamai is the big corporate CDN player I've used. It's pricy, though.
http://www.akamai.com/
Yes, Rackspace says it uses Akamai. So why shouldn't you use Akamai? Hint: Just try to find prices on Akamai. It's not for small companies.
Also, even if you select amazon cloudfront, you'll still get a price by region quote tool.

I am a Apple Fan boy through n through. Well i like to call myself the MAC daddy haha!
I have just come across the mac mini server. I want it!!! But not sure it can replace my current set up.
In my garage, i have a Dell 390 workstation with 4 TB of space. I manily use this to keep all my movies, music, and media on. I stream my movies from it via shared drives to my WD TV Live box. Which i love... I use programs like, Vuse / Handbrake actually they are the most common apps i use. Eventually id like to be able to back up my external drives from my imac to the server.
Just wondering if the mac mini server could replace that. As the Dell is power hungry, large and just plain ugly. But it does have 4TB worth of space.
Could the mac mini replace this setup, and if so how?

You dont need an Internet connection, but what you could do is plug your Macbook into any speakers, create a wifi network with your macbook, join that wifi network with your iPhone and just use the iTunes Remote App to control the music.

1. Go here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
2. Scroll down until you see "iPhone / iPod touch / iPad"
3. Click the drop down menu and look for "iPod Touch __G 3.1.2 7D11" *
4. Download the file and save it somewhere you remember
5. Open iTunes and plug in your iPod Touch normally.
6. Go into the iPod summary page and look for the "Restore button"
7. While holding the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard, click the "Restore" button
8. A window will pop up asking to locate the .ipa (The file you downloaded)
9. Select it and open it. It will now downgrade.
10. Congrats you are now on the faster 3.1.2!
*Fill the blank with the generation number.
If you have a flat back, then it's the first generation (1G)
If you have a curved back, and MB model number, it's the second generation (2G)
If you have a curved back and MC model number, it's the third generation (3G)
All 3.1.2 firmwares will be 7D11.
Hope this helps.
this is what i did.
no success

The D90 is a great camera however as you mentioned you are going on a trip the 18-55 will be to limiting, as someone suggested, the 18-200 is a great lens for the range it covers, however its not cheap. An alternative might be to go with the 18-55 and and the 55-200, in these two lenses you have a very large range that should suit your needs for the next while.

I think the shuffles are a great idea for the tournament, and it shows the school is in tune with cool gifts for that age group. Apple refurbs are usualy great products...especially with a shuffle. With solid state flash memory, its either works perfect or it doesn't work at all, so refurb won't matter too much.

Well it would be intresting to see what others say but
Grunt in perhaps , Dual CPU, lower speed
against
One CPU higher Speed
Just look into the debates about whether to get the 6-core 3.33Ghz Mac Pro or the 8-core 2.4Ghz Mac Pro.
There's been enough of people saying what they think :p
