That's weird--most of the Apple stores I've been to have the computers locked with cables.That's what I was thinking. Even the iPods were locked down, with the little coily thingies, so you couldn't pull it more than a foot from the display table.

any photoshop types know how to change the size of the background of the image without changing the rest of the images?

As for the Mac Store, finally got to watch the video. Um. I dunno, I always thought stores *didn't* use glass, but plexi. Maybe it's just that my family owned liquor stores, so they always had plexi.

It's possible that store might rethink some of its policies.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The thing is, the store had been robbed before. That's why they had a security guard on duty. Except that the security guard didn't do anything once the thieves indicated that they were carrying guns.

We have started the learning process for the transition from our crappy e-mail server-provider to GoogleApps! Squee! Of course, the first round of video's is about dealing with Microsoft Exchange, and exporting contacts and calendar. As a Mac user, doesn't really apply to me. But it is fun to see how crazy it is. You'd think Google would write a widget that would run an exe file to automate the tasks.

AT&T responds to iPhone MMS hoopla with a video explaining why they are delayed in letting iPhones do MMS: [link]
What they don't answer for me is, how come OTHER AT&T phones can MMS, but the iPhone can't?

Okay, my prime suspect for the fucked-up fan is indeed the fucked-up fan. It's clearly dying; I can stop it with a pencil and the noise stops and the noise returns as soon as it starts up.
I measured it, and it looks to be 90 mm. Do I have to get a fan with the same dimensions? I figure I do or else the screws won't be in the right place, right? I found one on Newegg for three bucks that looks just like the piece of crap that's in my computer already, so hey.
