Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
megan, check to make sure the air vents aren't clogged or dirty. You may not be getting adequate airflow from within the computer.
That's what I was thinking, but I have no idea how they should look. I should probably get my techy housemate to check them out.
Anyone know a chat client for Mac that does MSN Messenger?
Okay. In Vista, it says that my Ubuntu box is in the workgroup MSHOME, and the network location is Velvet. On the Linux box the workgroup parameter is set to Velvet. When I run smbclient it tidily shows me all the right shares and then says that the Ubuntu box is the master of MSHOME.
Hmm. And I have nothing under the Server Comment section of the smbclient output. Shouldn't that list the Ubuntu server and its description? How is some of my sharing working but not all? I mean, the Vista box thinks it's finding Linux in the Velvet network. Just not in that workgroup.
Okay I have installed Fan Control (possibly twice), but now I can't find it -- in applications or anywhere.
It's a System Preference pane.
It's a System Preference pane.
Huh. Nope. Not there, either.
That is... odd. Maybe it's not compatible with the big ones? I doubt that's it, but i got nothing else. Sorry.

In the interest of spring cleaning... at what point do you ditch old software boxes/manuals/discs? I have a bookcase of stuff. Games. Work Apps. Utilities. All from Mac OS8 and earlier. The Pac-rat in me is saying "NNoooooo!!!". But I have books and no shelf space, and the new books cry "but what about there" (yes, the books talk to me. They are all my precious)
my macbook pro is 2 years old & I run it constantly, with all sorts of apps open at the same time. There have been a couple of battery issues lately, but then I got around to installing updates last night. This morning? The battery flatlined about 2 minutes after I launched, and is showing a varying number of charge times.
anyone seen this before?
also - flip cameras have video and audio... right? I just read something somewhere that made it seem as if you'd need a nano with a mike option as well.

Yes. I think what you're thinking of is the flip vs. hd camera smackdown that Kat posted in Natter, where the guy did capture audio on a nano (to get better/stereo/whatever sound, I guess?) and edit it in later, but they definitely do have audio out of the box.
