My new MacBookPro is on order. Should arrive some time next week.

Is it possible that my cat walking across the keyboard has shut down the sound within Firefox only? I can play iTunes, and I hear alerts, but when I try to watch various TV shows/youtube/etc, I get no sound.

Youtube is flash. You might see if volume in flash has been set to zero, cause that can be done with one click. Start playing a Video, click on the little megaphone. [Edit: the little megaphone in the video itself, not the one in your desktop.] See if it is set all the way down.

Sophia, have you tried restarting? I've had issues with listening to streaming video that were fixed by restarting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fancy a $25K Cray on your desk?
Think of supercomputers and you tend to think of multi-million dollar machines that easily take up a football field. With miles and miles of cabling and cooling systems running beneath the floors. That's long been generally true, but not any more.
Supercomputer maker Cray Inc. today announced that it teamed up with Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. to produce a desktop supercomputer. That's right. It will sit on a desktop. And maybe just as surprising, it has a starting price of $25,000.
The Cray CX1 supercomputer uses up to eight nodes and 16 Intel Xeon processors -- either dual-core or quad-core. It's the first Cray machine to use Intel processors. The CX1 has up to 4 terabytes of internal storage and 64 gigabytes of memory per node. The machine also comes pre-installed with Windows HPC Server 2008 [or] Linux.

I just sent a feature request to Apple for the iPhone. I'm wondering if others do it too, it might get put in.
I finally pressed the "Emergency Call" button. I feared it dialed 911, so never pushed it. Nope, it just brings up the dial keypad, but no address book.
My suggestion was to somehow allow a mini-address book for I.C.E. numbers (In Case of Emergency). Should something happen to me, I'd love my phone to be of use in contacting the ones I love without having to know the pass code.

is there a photoshop guru out there that can answer some of my stupid trial and error questions?

I can try... I wouldn't claim to be a guru, though.

Not a guru either, but I do spend a lot of time with it. I'd be happy to try too.
