indeed there are, the cheapest RAM is generally that which is curently in use as economies of scale keep the price down. Once it drops out of common usage the price starts to rise.

i bumped my 1st gen macbook pro up to 2gb (which i think is as much as it can take?). i am completely useless at that kind of thing, but i managed it ok.

^yeah, me too. it is quite simple, phil... here's an apple how-to

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721

your macbook will only take 2gb max ram, afaik. it was the march/may 07 that bumped the macbook's max capacity to 4gb ram

When I updated my Mac Plus to 1 meg of ram, I was supposed to clip a resistor on the motherboard, but I cut the wrong one and had to bring my computer in to have it professionally fixed. That was a LONG time ago, though.

When I buy a new MBP, what is the cheapest way to max out the ram? I'm going to hate having a left over dimm to ebay

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Sunday, 4 May 2008 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

is there a cheap way? i thought all you could do is buy the two 2gb chips and put the two 1gb chips in the trash. i got mine for like $150 ($75 a piece) from the campus bookstore. i asked them if they'd buy the 1gb chips back off me and they said that memory was so cheap that they didn't even bother anymore because nobody'd buy 1gb chips when they could get a 2gb chip for $20-30 more.

I'm currently using an external USB drive for Time machine, but am torn between getting a new Airport Extreme which can use a USB drive as a network drive, or get a time capsule. Any thoughts?

It's hardcoded, but there's a easy workaround here: http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-8384.html

Inquisitor as a good way round it too. Gives spotlight like functionality too.

Ed, Thursday, 22 May 2008 06:29 (fifteen years ago) link

thanks, i'll try that Elvis. Ed i tried Inquisitor and didn't like it at all (and it was a pain to uninstall) but thanks all the same.

Safari Stand is one of the plug-ins that lets you assign keywords (or just letters) to query user-defined search engines right from the address bar (so, say g elephants in suspenders searches Google UK for elepants in suspenders, i sister act 2 searches imdb for Sister Act 2).

two weeks pass...

Leaked photos of the 3G iPhone.

Seems fake to me, but what do I know?

James Mitchell, Saturday, 7 June 2008 09:06 (fifteen years ago) link

looks very believable to me

Tracer Hand, Saturday, 7 June 2008 13:11 (fifteen years ago) link

All reputable sources say fake. Submitted anonymously, photos taken of a screen (why not just c+p a screengrab?) etc etc.

That looks to be the right size for the mysterious boxes that have been appearing at stores. A shame, I would’ve strongly considered buying the much-rumored tablet.

Mr. Goodman, Monday, 9 June 2008 12:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Can't assume a lot just yet.

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 9 June 2008 12:40 (fifteen years ago) link

I would also be a customer for a small tablet mac.

I've never owned an Apple, and I've not even used a Mac since 10.1, but fuck me if the prospect of a touch tablet Mac isn't giving me an erection.

What are the chances of Cocoa for Windows and Linux?

Ed, Monday, 9 June 2008 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link

about zero..

Jack Battery-Pack, Monday, 9 June 2008 12:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Good chance of a cut-down OS X being the basis of the new iphone though. This one enormous fact seems to be being overlooked in favour of silly rumours and fake photos.

Autumn Almanac, Monday, 9 June 2008 13:00 (fifteen years ago) link

Thats what I thought until I saw that link above.

OS X is already the software behind the iphone, unless you're talking about them ditching their well-tuned touch gui for a traditional desktop metaphor

So, my iPhone was my first cellphone. It was, I assume, not subsidized. Assuming a new iPhone is released and I want to buy it would I as an already existing customer get a subsidized price?

What are the chances of the new one being offered by T-Mobile in the UK as well as O2? Just realised I'm due an upgrade.

I'm guessing low to non-existent.

someone told me that the Apple Store iPhones will be sold unlocked but with a rebate on activation. HM
