Well considering Apple makes real products and Google makes... .what do they make?
it has nothing to do with products, this is to do with brand strength.

What the heck is going on here? I was just using my laptop and noticed a strange smell. I then put my nose near the keyboard and realized that it was a burning smell coming from below the keyboard. I think I may have read a thread on this somewhere else but I cant remember what causes it. Is this normal for macs? Or should I get this thing serviced?

I am not sure if this is the right section.
I like giving away free information based on my experiences. I wish more people did it so I wouldn't have to buy laptop parts from bad suppliers.
I know people like t fix things themselves. What I would like to do here is have a list of good suppliers for certain parts where the end user can buy parts for their Macbook one at a time, and a list of ones to avoid, with the reasons why. My experiences will be devoid of bias, personal remarks, and stick to places where I have had the unfortunate experience of doing repeat business.
I will update this list over time, and I encourage others to chime in. there are many suppliers I have used not listed here since I don't have all the names and information ready off hand.
I am only listing suppliers of use to people looking to buy one part, not places that specialize in quantities of 50+, as that is useless to joe-blow looking to fix his out of warranty laptop.
The hall of fame:
sunvalleytek/sunvalleyus/smartlaptopparts(on ebay)
They have occasionally sent out the incorrect screen, when they did, they paid for return shipping. They offer amazing prices, and a great RMA process
screenaid(on ebay)
see sunvalleyus. They are also great for local pickup in NYC. Unlike sunvalleyus, they do not ship the model they give you in the title. They ship a samsung or something else. For the 13.3" macbook, they do not ship the regular model samsung apple uses. It looks the same to me, but the brightness/dim buttons` on the keyboard will not work unless you have some drivers/a newer OSX installed.
izashop (on ebay)
small things like top cases, bezels, etc. fast shipping, best prices, good parts.
screencountry
Their prices fluctuate greatly, which is unfortunate. However, they have a plethora of LCDs to select from, the occasional quantity discount, great shipping rates, and decent support.
The hall of SHAME:
blisscomputers/expresslcdscreens/browngranite
they claim to use "compatible" parts. However, what they send out is often ****. no model, no name junk with
- bars down the left side of the LCD
- poor fit
- washed out colors
I have, and others have, been roped into buying from them on numerous occasion. I am hoping someone I heard from recently who went through the experience I did will chime in here. Their parts are trash. They are notorious for the 15.4" LED LCDs that go for $177.
It is fine to sell alternative compatible models, but they truly stretch the definition of compatible. screencountry does this with a few LCDs, but they ship out ones where there is no visible difference, of established brand names and well known models.
ultradrives(ebay)
Imagine you buy part A. The eBay ad claims 13 available and a day later you'll receive an email with "GREAT NEWS!" claiming he's totally out of them, but that he can upgrade you to part B. You say sure, then he asks for more money. But you agreed to the price for part A. It's classic bait & switch, while being careless on eBay I made the mistake of using him a few times.

They are showing up on their website, and they are on sale with their current iMac sale.
Shipping time shows 2-5 days, and as of right now (Thursday), in the Austin, TX area they don't seem to have them in stores, or know when they will.

These are static graphics, right? Technically speaking, these files are loaded from the server into RAM by the program, and if there isn't enough RAM it'll write to a local scratch disk. Once the user starts working, they operate on the data in RAM or the scratch disk -- NOT the original file. This allows a full undo/revert workflow. This means that merely by opening the files, they're performing the equivalent of pulling them to the local disk and then opening them...and they're doing so in one step.
If an issue were to occur while saving the file, the server's copy may be corrupted. However, the user would be alerted and they could save the file locally.
Get off their case :D

Been in the process of ripping and encoding my DVD collection to the Mini for about a month now. Have been using Handbrake only to do the entire process so far, and usually can only get about 3 a day after work.
Today decided to try Rip It to pre-rip a bunch and the queue them up in Handbrake so I can leave it running. The Rip It part has gone really well as I ripped 15 DVD's in a row in a matter of hours.
But now have started the encoding part, and Handbrake is crawling!:(
When I was using Handbrake for the entire process I was averaging around 30 fps. But now I have all rips queued up and the first is doing around 10 fps! What's the deal? I figured it would be faster encoding from HD instead of DVD.
Also tried to encode Hunt for Red October and it says "Suspected RCE Region 1". Is there any way to remove the region from ripped file?
Hopefully someone has been through this before and can help me out.

..also if i am going to be there for hours i want to be able to smoke and the grove is open air...
On a sidenote, I'm just asking as a courtesy, if you do plan on smoking to either step out of line or ask people around you first. I'm not going to the grove or anything, but I have waited in lines outdoors for events where it wasn't easy to just move/leave but standing where I can smell the smoke from someone smoking nearby is absolutely unbearable.

Before someone yells at me :) I have searched and searched for a thread.
I'm seriously considering an iPad 2 and am leaning towards the 3G as I'd like access anywhere. Trade off of course is that it costs more.
I have an iPhone 4 with the Hotspot feature. Can I use this as an internet connection for the iPad where wifi is not available?
Cheers

Thanks for responding so quickly. No, no chance of a different document. It is a very unique magazine. I have been working on this mag since last Monday - and have opened and closed it countless times. This is really STRANGE.
I'm not using backup software. I just use the 2nd hard drive to "double back up" in case. I do this at least once a day - or if I have done major changes to a job
With the permissions thing - I did a "file info" in another totally different job folder and went to details and changed the "group" access to "read and write" (cause it wasn't letting me save things in that folder even though me being the owner it said "read and write).
I am not on a network or anything - just a stand-alone osx 10.3.3
Have done a check and it doesn't seem to have affected anything else

Ok, so it isn't really possible to build a complete website from scratch but I do want something that would allow me to make small changes. Basically I'm looking for something that will let me FTP to my site, download a page, edit it and then upload the changed page.
Is there anything out there that people can recommend?
Thanks
You need to provide a lot more detail than what you're currently providing. Are you using blogging software? Is this at a conventional web host or something like Blogger?
For example, if you're using Wordpress, you can't just do what you want. Templates are used to generate the site on the fly each time it's loaded. You'd have to edit the templates, which aren't actually what you see on the page when you load it. It could be a combination of 4 templates that generate one page that you see.
If it's flat HTML then yes, there are tools out there that can help you. But you need to give up some details so we can even tell you if it's possible.

But, if you have mobility in mind you'd need the computer to be a notebook and work with a limited screen size or add an external display .... but then there's the plugging/unplugging all day, files need to be kept in sync...
What's your setup like, one computer or two, how do you use them?
One Macbook Air. No files to keep in sync since I don't have many computers and an external monitor isn't a problem. Of course if Apple knew how to make docks, it would be even easier, but it's not like plugging in 3 wires is sooooo much of a pain.
Having many computers is more of a pain than it's worth.

The code to change videos to links in quote posts seems to affect still images also. Quotes in the DP forum swap the image with an link reading "image". Is this intended or not?
Dale
It's intended.
Auto-linking quoted images is another change we've wanted to make, and the time was right. The purpose is the same in both cases: to have a link instead of a video or image in a quote.
If you think a video or image needs to be displayed in a quoted post you can edit it back to the non-link syntax. In other words, you can have it either way, but the default behavior has changed. Images embedded with TIMG aren't affected, at least for now, since small quoted images are less of an issue than large videos or potentially large images.

I'm just the opposite. After 18 years of using Macs if Apple doesn't hurry up and get a mid range product between the mini and the Pro where I can use my own monitor I'm likely to switch to PC's.
Until Apple has the computer I want I not interested in any of Apple's other products.

Nice collection, freaking jealous. Good to see you have 4 seasons of the office. :)
As of right now, I only have all the seasons of That 70's Show, taking a pic of a small collection isn't really pretty :(
Nice collection everyone :D
Thanks, I got Seasons 5 and 6 of the Office on blu in one of those cubs somewhere. The packaging of season 6 sucks, so I removed the discs and put them in separate cd holders. I had to do the same thing for Back to the Future.
You should post a pic anyway. No matter how many you got...Obey the thread! :D

Some of that may be Paypal fees, but even then they can screw themselves. I knew they sucked, but that's pretty bad. They probably have to write that because if they just take the money they'd get into trouble, but they would have been better off just posting a link to the Red Cross.
